After Jake's revelation about marrying him I couldn't talk to him I got out of the car and sent him a text saying I need sometime to think about it but I promised it wouldn't be long.
The day arrived for me to travel to Manchester to board the cruise ship I haven't heard from Jake. I sent him a text wanting to meet up but no reply so I left a letter for him filled with everything including where the ship would be and when this was a chance and I had to take it.
This ship was going to Jamaica final port of call it was going to take a long time to get there and the way back would be better then the way there because I would see Jake again. Skype wasn't going to be enough but I am determined to try.
After unpacking and washing I went down to the kitchen to introduce myself to the other chefs I went to the bottom deck and through the little double doors and saw the chefs hard at work the head chef was a woman, brown hair it was a messy bun away from the face, beautiful green eyes she looked very professional
Sarah:
"You must be Elizabeth, it's a pleasure to meet you we hope that you speaking a few different languages will help when it comes to other staff members but we all speak English, you start tomorrow morning 5am sharp don't be late"
Elizabeth:
"Thank you yes I can speak Spanish, french, and german but if I get a bit flustered I'll let you know 5am chef no problem thank you for the chef whites and I'll see you all tomorrow" (I also speak Italian but it's best to keep one language back just incase)
Everyone looked up and said bye they seem like a friendly lot I am so glad I did this. I walk around the deck and by the pool then I look up and see the barman and I know I know I'm not single but god an Italian god, tattoos , dark hair and one hell of a smile but because I have a parter I'm not nervous to say hi to him plus I'll be stuck with him for 18 months so best to make friends.
Dean POV:
I'm setting up the bar and I look over and see a goddess she has legs that climb forever, long blonde hair in a pony tail, dark full red lips and that face oh the things I would do to her. Why does there have to be a rule that we can't mix with customers I'm stuck here for 18 months god I'm alone. Sh*t she is walking over ok Dean be cool, charming I mean your Italian and handsome how could she not get nervous to look at you.
Elizabeth:
"Hello my name is Elizabeth, I just started on the cruise ship today. I'm a pastry chef so I'll see you around the ship a bit I thought to introduce myself."
Dean:
(Inner monologue) Jesus man say something, anything will do just open your mouth and say hi. But no nothing comes out.
Elizabeth:
Ok well your busy so I'll see you around it was very nice to meet you.... (as I look up I see the tag on his shirt) Dean bye..
Dean:
For god sake you stupid man say something ANYTHING... ummmn "raspberry mojito, you look like you could use one come back later around seven and I'll serve you one as a welcome" smoooth man so smooth
Elizabeth:
I turn round to hear him speak god his words could melt butter. Stay cool stay cool, "if I have the time I will I have an early start tomorrow but I'll see you around"
I walk away I don't know if he is attracted to me I don't need him to be but if he turns out to be an asshole then I'll keep away from him I'm not letting anything ruin me and Jake.
Dean: POV
God her ass is even wonderful to look at why did I make such a idiot of myself Elizabeth that's what she said her name was, beautiful wow ok calm down I can talk to her again sometime.
Back in London
Jake: POV
It's been two days of me ignoring Elizabeth that will teach her she is ruining our relationship she doesn't need to work she will be a good house wife and mother to our children. Obviously I've never told her this because I've been trying to avoid massive arguments over the years but two days is enough I'll turn my phone back on and go around to her place. My phone keeps ringing signalling I have missed calls and texts and as I get my mail I see a letter from my Lizzie. We used to write each other so I know this is her apologising I open the letter and see red "that bitch, I'm going to go get her stupid woman how dare she leave me"
As I start to pack and grab my passport I'm out the door if she does this I will destroy her!
