it was another summer cruise with your family, you loved getting out on the water for the week. there’s was a few times you’d ran into cute boys but, it never lead to anything more.. this cruise would be no different, a simple summery trip, making memories

it was the first morning and you went down to the buffet with in your plaid pj pants and oversized hoodie, hair disheveled, and eyes barely awake as you wait in the elevator. there’s a soft ding before the door opens on the floor above the buffet, a tall, blue eyed blondie with sun-kissed skin guy is there in his pjs too. phone in his hand and a sleepy look on his face. he gives you a soft smile and nod before stepping the elevator

“nice outfit” i say

he softly chuckles “thanks, you too”

the elevator fills with silence before there’s another ding, the door opens and the sweet smells of the breakfast trails through the air, he takes his hand out of his pocket before gesturing it to the door, letting you go first

you step out into the buffet and walk over to the pancake station, in your peripheral vision i see him follow behind you. you grab your stuff and sit down. you spot him across the buffet, eating with his family as well. we keep making eye contact with soft smiles after.

later, you grab your beach bag and head down to the pool, you spot him and softly smile. as youre setting down my stuff you hear them say “pool volleyball!! if anyone wants to join!” you turn my head and get in the pool, and there he is on my team.

“hey.. you gonna play?” he asks
