This choice: 18, going with a friend and her family. • Go Back...Chapter #4John on Display by: Teraton   "Well, here we are everybody! It was a long trip down, but I hope you're ready for a week of fun and relaxation!"
John had to admit, as tired as the trip had made him, Ms. Thompson - Florence, or Flo, as she always reminded him he could call her- was definitely getting him excited again. It had been a long trip, but John managed to sleep most of the drive down, and Florence's eager voice was waking him back up, just in time to see the cruise ship from the parking lot.
"Ugh, Mom, not so loud!"
"Oh, are we here? Finally..."
Of course, the other passengers were having a little trouble waking up. Lily, Rose, and Magnolia, the Thompson sisters. John had been friends with Magnolia since middle school, and when her mom said she could invite a friend along on her graduation-gift cruise trip, it didn't take much for Maggie to convince John to come with her. Speaking of which, she was just waking up next to him. She was an active girl, with long brown hair and a lean physique, though it was taking her the longest to actually get up after the long drive. Everyone else had their feet on the parking lot asphalt before Magnolia even thought to unbuckle her seatbelt.
"Took you long enough," John said through the open window. She stuck her tongue out at him, wobbling out of the car.
"I was too excited to sleep last night! So sue me if I take a little while getting out of the car."
"Wouldn't be so bad if you didn't take so long getting into the car too," said Lily, leaning against the passenger seat door. She was the oldest of the three sisters, being out of college. She was tall, slender for the most part, but widening out on her lower half with flared hips and a butt that John had gotten caught staring at more than once. He was lucky that the girls were kind enough to laugh it off, but he got teased a lot for it, mostly by Lily herself. Flicking her died-black hair out of her face as she glanced at her phone, she half-helped half-pulled her sister out onto her feet.
"Looking forward to the cruise, Johnny?" John jumped at the voice behind him, and Rose giggled. She was good at pulling things on him like that, amazingly sneaky for how chubby the bubbly girl was. She was a junior in college, and a full-on party girl from what he'd heard from her sisters. With her cheerful attitude and impressive endowments, John wasn't surprised that she was so popular.
"Y-Yeah," John started, still a bit shaken.
"Good! Cause we need your help carrying stuff," Rose said, and John found his arms full of his own suitcase, plus a few other miscellaneous bags. They all got grouped up behind Florence, each with a number of bags in hand. You could see a little bit of Florence in all of her daughters, and the reverse was true. She was a curvy woman, not fit but not out of shape either. With tickets in hand, she lead the group through the arduous process of getting into the boat.
-------------------------------------------------------------------- -
"Why don't you kids enjoy yourselves for a while," Flo said. It had taken a lot of passport checking, bag handling, and grouchy half-arguing, but the group of Thompsons +1 was finally on the boat. "I'm going to go ahead and square things away in the room. You kids have fun!"
They didn't have to be told twice. John had been in his trunks the whole trip over, and the girls all had swimsuits on underneath their clothes. They passed a few attractions they made sure to remember for later- a ballroom with a number of shows and parties listen on a sign next to it, a big on-board casino, a number of different facilities like an arcade and a spa- but all they were interested in was the pool. Big, clear, and situated perfectly on the sunny open deck, the group was quick to jump in.
John considered himself lucky to be around the girl's, and while he did his best not to stare, he couldn't help but admire their appearance. Lily surprised the group with a tattoo running up her left leg, all the way up to her thigh, her tight black bikini doing nothing to hide it against her pale skin. Meanwhile, John found himself wondering at Rose's tanlines, or lack thereof- her string bikini was small, and he couldn't see any part of her that wasn't tanned, meaning she had gone out before either in something really really small, or nothing at all. Magnolia impressed them all with her athleticism, her long toned legs beating the water white. In turn, though he couldn't really be sure if he had caught them staring or not, the girls got a good look at John's toned chest and arms as he splashed around beside them.
Eventually, the four got tired. It was getting dark, and the pool was getting crowded, so they were content to call it a day, knowing their week-long cruise hadn't even really started yet! The pool would be there for them tomorrow, along with so much more. So, toweling off and grabbing their discarded non-swimming garments, they headed down into the hull to meet up with Flo.

"Alright, so here's the deal..."
Florence gathered her charges outside the two rooms they had been given. "We hadn't really decided on room arrangements yet. Between the two rooms we have 5 beds. 3 to the room on the left," Flo gestured accordingly, "and 2 in the right. Now, having John around complicates things- not that I don't trust you," she added, seeing John's confused, kind of offended look, "just... doesn't feel right, leaving you in the room with just another one of the girls there."
"Mom! It's fine!" Magnolia was blushing, as was John, while her two older sisters giggled behind them.
"Look, it should be simple. Everyone will be comfortable if we arrange things like..."   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
