S.S. Queen's Holiday Cruise [2]

Chance

I finish my food as well, smiling.

Katie

In the mist of gazing into Chance's eyes, Someone's hands go over mine from behind. I tighten up and do not mine. "Oh do not worry, it's just your mom." My mom says.

I smile and jump up, wrapping my arms around him. "Mom, what are you doing here?" I ask. "Do not get my wrong I am happy to see you, but you are here to early." I say.

"Honey, the wedding is tommorow." She says. I stare wide eyed at her. It is tomorrow.

I look to Chance. "Wow, that came fast."

Chance

Tomorrow? I raise my eyebrows and stand, reaching a hand out to shake, "Tomorrow already? I still have to write my vows..."

Katie

My mom does not shake his hand, she just hugs him. I smile and get up. "I have to write mine too. Plus we have to invite Chance's mom and dad."

She rolls her eyes and tells us she will take care of the parents and I shake my head she also says that she rented a room here for tonight and she needs me to stay there with her. "Mom, I am going to stay with Chance." I say.

"No, that is bad luck." She says.

Chance

I smile and hug her mother back before looking at Katie, "We don't want any bad luck, K, do we? It'll be alright. We have the rest of our lives together. We can wait one night."

Katie

I nod, but still not wanting to leave him. "Let us at least tell his parents, together." I say to my mother.

She sighs. "Fine, but make it fast." She says.

Chance

I smile and take Katie's hand, leading her out.

Katie

I wrap my arms around his chest as we walk to his parents' room.

Chance

I wrap my arms back around her, keeping her close.

Katie

I smile and kiss his cheek before we arrive at the door. He knocks on the door and holds me as we wait for them to come to the door.

Chance

I kiss her cheek in return, smiling, before the door opens and my mother invites us inside.

Katie

I smile as we walk inside and take a seat. "So what brings you too here?" She asks, smiling.

"Well, we have news for you." I say and then I look to Chance to tell them the news.

Chance

I don't know how to word it, so I just lift Katie's hand with the ring and wait for their reactions.

Katie

"And I am the flower girl." His sister says, smiling. I laugh and nod, but then look back to his mom and dad to see what they say.

Chance

My father smiles proudly, and my mother attempts to before bringing up my accident and asking whether this is out of spite of all that, out of desire to be close to someone remembered. I just sigh and look down.
