I pull the suitcase behind way takes it I look at hi toa floating hotel for a week I can’t swim, and I don’t like the water, and yet in hours I’ll be surrounded by it

“Aren’t you excited?” My sister Justice hops up and down like a kid who’s eaten her entire bounty of Halloween candy in one sitting “Coo”

She tugs on s me up the ay to the ship entrance At the top stand twowhite navy-like uniforms

I stop in front of the old stripes on his shoulders “Shouldn’t you be on the bridge doing cross checks or soine the captain’s ti the cruisers

“Captain Christos is already on the bridge I’m the staff captain, Nicholas Demos” He holds out his hand “Welcome aboard the Southern Cross”

I give him a quick shake and run after my sister who has already found the bar up ahead I’ve done my homework I looked up the safety record of Cross Cruises and they don’t have one blemish on their record I tried to find some reason not to be my sister’s plus-one, but there wasn’t a valid excuse I could co honest withnew, although I prefer to be on land

Justice shoves a pink drink with a paper u at the top into my hand “It’s called Sex on the Beach, and if you’re lucky, you’ll get that in huainst inas”

I look around toat us My sister has no filter She blurts out whatever coe, but so do I I’ fun She’s the one on the edge ju in to the fray

“Cheers” I say

“Did you bring Mr Dependable?” She knows I’ to have sexy time, it will be between my vibrator and me It never complains, is always ready, and doesn’t snore

“Stop it I’ sex with you in public” I turn around and lean against the bar, realizing it’s the perfect place to hang out and watch everyone co

My head shifts between way I know her She is taking roups by fuckability There’s the ‘yes’ group, the ‘no’ group, and the ‘probably after I’roup

I sip on the only Sex on the Beach I’ to figure out who I’d put in the yes group if I were that girl

No to the guy in Ber
