A/N: So on a scale of one to ten how mad are you guys at me? I'm so sorry for the delay of update! It has literally been months and I have had so much shit happen it's been hard to keep up with life. My 16 year old cousin died of cancer. Track season started, school trips, and state track has taken literally taken all of my time. Finally this is the last week of school, track is over, and I have been sick for the last 3 days so I've already missed Monday and Tuesday of school. However, I watched Pitch Perfect 2 and was inspired by all of the gayness. So again I apologize for my absence but life got in the way. On to the next chapter!
I wake up for the second day in a row to the sweet smell of strawberries. I open my eyes and see a pair of bright blue ones looking back at me. I smile and say, "Staring at me while I sleep. Should I get a restraining order already?" Chloe smacks my arm and giggles.
"Why do you always look at things so negative?" She asks me with a smirk. "I mean I could just be looking adoringly at my new girlfriend while she sleeps, but you automatically think I'm sizing you up for my new skin suit!" When I hear girlfriend come out of her mouth I smile and ask her to say it again. She raises her eyebrows at me and says, "Are you sure you want me to considering you threatened me with a restraining order already?" I bite my lip and nod my head eagerly. "Fine, my girlfriend is just too cute to say no to." I smile and peck her on the lips.
She falls back into the pillows and I attempt to get up only to be pulled back into bed by the arm. I smile and begin speaking, "So new girlfriend of mine, what would you like to do today before I have to get back on the ship tonight?" Chloe seems to deflate from this sentence and it kills me to have to leave her. I grab her face in both hands and make her look me in the eyes while I speak. "Hey, it's going to work out fine. We can text, call, and Skype every day. Hell I'd even write you letters if you wanted to. I need to make this relationship work Chloe. I finally found what I have been missing and I do not intend on giving you up. I'm not saying it's going to be easy, it'll with probably be hard as hell but I'm ready to put the work in if you are." She nods and gives me a long hug. I fully intend on making my last day with her a happy one, so I try to lighten the mood. I jump up and pull Chloe along with me saying, "I'm making Chocolate chip pancakes!" I hear a squeal and the door open to see Sarah running around shouting for pancakes. I smile and we make our way downstairs.
Aubrey is already awake and has the coffee going. She looks up at us from our phone and smiles before looking back down. I ask her if she has pancake mix and she looks up again. "Are you going to burn down my apartment?" She has a serious tone to her voice. I laugh and shake my head. Aubrey looks at me for a moment and says, "It's in the pantry." I nearly skip towards the pantry and easily find the mix and some chocolate chips.
After breakfast we settle in on the couch for a marathon of SpongeBob Squarepants and both Chloe and Sarah are surprised by how many lines I know from SpongeBob. We spend the rest of the day like this and order pizza for lunch and Chinese food for dinner. I don't have to be on the ship until eight and it's only a ten minute drive from here so I spend as much time as possible with Chloe and Sarah. When it's 7:45 Chloe drives me to the dock and we say our goodbyes. It will be the last time I see her until my next break in a month, that break lasts for two weeks however. I give Chloe a long meaningful kiss goodbye and tell her I'll text her when we leave land. Sarah won't let go of my leg until Chloe has to pry her off of me. I give Sarah a peck on the cheek and turn around to leave. I feel tears run down my eyes for the first time in years. This is the first time that I hate my job.
Short update and again so sorry. R&R and hopefully I can update much faster. Also I have a Tumblr! If anyone would like to ask me any questions or talk to me about my story you can reach me on there, tanners11. I hope you guys enjoyed.
