Chapter 57 Pictures
"Okay, okay, everybody calm down," Andrew rose to his feet with a glass of whiskey in his hand. "Finally, everyone is here and the mood is fcking right!" He sighed. "I couldn't be happier."
They all chorused a laugh.
Cara had gone back to her room, after her conversation with Romeo, to change into something sexy but befitting of the cold weather.
She noticed Camilla putting on a lengthy dress that reached all the way down and a pair of black heels. Then her long black hair was left to fall loose over her shoulder and a big jacket was around her shoulders to keep out the cold.
So she ruffled through her own clothes and took out a baby pink long sleeved floor length dress that had a slit all the way to her thigh on one side and a few openings around the waist area at the back.
Her heels were the same shade of pink as well and so was the small purse in her hand. She had wondered if it needed or not to carry a purse but Camilla was carrying a small black bag and she thought, why not?
She picked her hair into a messy ponytail and applied delicate make up on her face.
"Okay, this isn't over doing it Cara," she told herself. "There are only two girls on this ship and the competition is quite tough so it's not a bad idea to try hard." With a deep breath, she turned towards the door but stopped and went back to her dressing table.
Picking up a set of Pearl jewelry, she hung the cylindrical shaped earring on her ear and fastened the necklace around her neck.
"Okay," she said to her reflection that stared back at her. "Perfect."
Picking up her small purse, she hurried out of her room and joined the rest who were now sitting under the clouds on a part of the ship where a few chairs were arranged for them and some bottles of whiskeys and rum sat in a small cooler of ice.
"Oh you go girl! You are on fire." Camilla cheered her on. She hurried to her and took a photo of both of them to upload on her status. "My followers need to be made aware of my new pretty friend." She explained with a bright smile on her face.
"Hey," Romeo smiled as he walked over towards her.
She smiled in response and wanted to find herself a seat-- obviously the one next to him-- but she was surprised when his hand slipped around her waist and he leaned in and kissed her.
She felt her cheeks burn up, how would he kiss her in front of his friends? Did he mind that they were watching?
She bit down on her lips and averted her gaze, looking at shoes instead.
That was when Andrew got to his feet and started his speech. "First day of the trip was not so fun, the man who threw the party wanted to get drunk and sleep till who knows when because he was acting like a coward and he wouldn't stop talking about how much he loves--"
"Okay, okay I think we get it." Romeo cut him off sharply. His dimples pierced his cheeks as he smiled.
Taking Cara's hand, he led her to his seat and sat down, placing her on his lap like she was his daughter and people wouldn't stare at them.
Sure there weren't people people, but his friends were also humans! Didn't they mind seeing such scenes?
It wasn't like they were doing anything intimate but still, making her seat on his lap in front of his friends?
Yet no one took a second glance at them. Camilla hurried over to them with two glasses of whiskey and handed it to them. "For the cold." She had said when Cara looked at her.
She returned and sat down on Rick's lap too. Cara thought to herself, 'they must be extremely free around each other to be able to do this without looking shy or anything.'
Andrew had picked up in his speech where he left off. "As I was saying, Romeo was fucked up, Camcam wouldn't stop having sx with our Rickstar here and Jastrow was so busy talking with a girl as ugly as his as."
They all shared another hearty laugh.
"I told you before and I'll say it again," Jastrow started. "It was a conference call, they want me to become an ambassador for their wrist watch but it's a co-ambassador thing so they would like me to convince my rich and hot friend to join me before they send a proposal to him."
"They want me to become an ambassador with you?" Andrew's brow arched.
"What? No," Jastrow responded with a light chuckle. "We've talked about this, Andrew. Romeo is our rich and hot friend, you are the rich flirt king."
"Alright, we'll keep business talk for later if it doesn't include me." Andrew stated. "Let's see..." He looked at each of them one by one and a pleased smile spread across his face. "Everyone is looking exceptionally great this morning."
Cara took the opportunity to access their looks. She already knew what Camilla was putting on so she focused on the men.
Rick was putting on a suit-- just like Andrew and Romeo-- and the button of his dress shirt was halfway done. His shoe was an ever so shining black.
It was as if they had all chosen the same outfit except their dress shirts didn't match. Romeo's was black like Andrews but Jastrow was putting on a white dress shirt without a suit shirt over it and Rick's dress shirt was white too.
'Still aligned if you ask me...' She thought to herself.
Their shoes were a black to match, almost looking like the same brand. Each of them were very handsome.
Andrew took out his phone. "Alright, you guys have kept my people waiting long enough. As you know, I am an online figure and I've got so many followers. I should have updated them about the trip by now but you guys ruined the plan yesterday."
"Why do you obsess about your followers so much?" Jastrow asked him. "I mean, Romeo has way more followers than you and I have never seen him obsess for once about posting a picture."
"Can you not remind me that sexy boy over there is popular than me?" Andrew arched his brow.
They all shared a laugh.
"Now let's take some god damn photos okay?"
They all gathered around to take the picture.
