“So your dad is the captain, right?” Lindsey says appearing again from the water.
I nod, "Yeah."
Then a rush of nervousness comes over me as the ship swerves slightly.
I gotta go... and let them think what they want about it.
Slowly I make my way out of the stairs to the pool and pull myself out.
Will and Lindsey look up the me and ask, at the smae time, "Where are you going?"
What do I tell them?
I don't even know what's wrong.
All I know is I have to get out of here.
But I don't let them see how freaked out I'm starting to feel and grin at them.
"I'm going to go for a walk and leave you two lovebirds alone."
M words have the desired effect as they both blush staring at each other as I walk away.
Then I walk to my Bungee spot on the deck, probably my only safe palce at the moment and stop to stare over the railing for a while.
Then I slowly begin to climb down the rope.
The water at the bottom makes me feel more relaxed, more like myself now and I tip my head up to them, feeling myself grinning.
"Its a lot better in the open water." I call, "Come in if you dare!"
Then I dive into the open water, letting it rush around me.
