(Eric's POV)
I woke up this morning early-ish because the first 2 days on this cruise Arthur, Alex, James and I ended up sleeping through breakfast. So on the second full day but 3 day of the cruise we started to do alarms. I usually set mine because they don't want one. But i told them that if we don't have an alarm then we won't be able to have breakfast.
So the whole point is that we started with alarms three days ago. And it's been working out. Now we are on the 6th day. It's the last full day sadly. So we are gonna be really sad to say goodbye to the girls. They become like our sisters.
During the time on the cruise I have been texting Carley to let her know what's going on. We even video chatted one day. And she met the girls. And she approved for them to be our friends. Especially because the girls also put their boyfriends on video chat. So their boyfriends met us. And they also approved of us to be the girls friends.
After getting ready for the day. I got my key for the door and went up to the buffet. I saw my family sitting at a table so I grab food first then head over to them
"Morning" I said setting my plate on the table
"Morning" Michelle said to me
"Hi Ericky!" Mikey said with his mouthful
I laugh. "Close your mouth Mikey" I said shutting his mouth
"Hmm" He said and swallowed his food
"How's the club going?" My mom asked me
"Its good. I've been having a great time. And I think James, Arthur, and Alex are too" I said
"Morning guys" Alex and Arthur said
"Morning" Everyone said to them
"Where's James?" I asked them
"Still in the room getting ready" Alex said
"He takes forever" I said with a chuckle
"Yep" They said nodding
10 minutes later and James finally shows up. But we all ate and were full
"Sorry I was getting ready" He said after sitting down with his food on the plate.
"At least breakfast is still out" I said with a laugh
"Ha ha very funny Eric" He said as he started to eat his food
"Well Mikey, Tessa and I are gonna go to the pool. Do you guys wanna meet us there?" Michelle asked us
"Sure I'll go. But I got to change into my swim trunks" I said while drinking the coffee they had out in the buffet. Anyone could just grab coffee. Which I liked
"Alright" She said
"I think we are gonna go to the club. Since it's like the last full day" Alex said pointing to him and Arthur
"Ok. What about you James?" Michelle asked
"I'm gonna go with Alex and Arthur. Since this is the last day with our friends" James said
"Ok. Well Eric do you wanna go to your room and change. Meet us at the pool" She said.
"Just let me finish my coffee first" I said while drinking more of my coffee.
"Alright we will meet you there" She said. "Come on Tessa and Mikey" She said to them
"Yay pool time!" They said and walked off with Michelle
"Alright well we are gonna go to the shops. Do you guys want anything?" Mom asked me and James
"I'm good mom" I said with a smile
"Yeah I'm good too mom" James said softly
"Ok. I'll see you guys at dinner then" She said and kissed both of our heads
"Bye mom" We said
Aunt Evie and Uncle Matt followed after my mom
"So why don't you want to come to the club now?" Alex asked me
"Cause I haven't spent too much time with Mikey and Tessa. I feel bad" I said softly
"Well that makes sense. So you're gonna go in the pool twice today then?" Arthur asked
"What do you mean?" I asked confused
"Did you forget tonight is the pool party for the teen center" James said to me
"Oh crap I forgot about that....Oh well I guess I am going in the pool twice" i said. I stood up and stretched. "See you guys later" I said
I ran to my room and changed quickly for the pool. Then went to the pool area. For the kids since Mikey and Tessa are kids.
Once I spot then. I waved. They waved back. I go to the edge of the pool
"Where did you guys leave your clothes?" I asked my older sister
"Near the bar. Like those seats next to the bar" Michelle said
"Ok I will be right back" I said and tried to find her stuff. Once I saw their clothes I took off my shirt and shoes. I went into the pool with Tessa, Mikey and Michelle.
We played in the pool for 2 hours. Then went in the hot tub for 10 minutes. After the hot tub Mikey and i decided to play ping pong or table tennis that is what some people call it. But I know it as ping pong
I let Mikey win because he's a kid. He doesn't need to know the disappointment of losing just yet.
After playing 2 games of ping pong I go to my room and took a quick shower. Then I headed to the club for teens.
I saw my cousins and brother with the girls. I walked over and sat with them
"Hey you are here, finally" Amber said laughing
"Yeah sorry. I wanted to spend some time with my little siblings" I said
"Its cool. We understand" Ashley said with a smile
"So what have you guys been up to today?" I asked
"We've just been playing games mostly" Phoebe said
"That doesn't sound too bad" I said
"Oh and the guys were telling stories" Samantha said
"Yeah what kind?" I asked looking at them
"About their girlfriends and how they asked them to be their girlfriends. Those stories are always the best" Amber said
"I actually put Taylor and James together" I said
"Yeah we heard. He didn't want you to do it at first but you did it anyways" Phoebe said laughing
"Hey they ended up having a great time and then began dating a few weeks later. So I am a good matchmaker" I said
"Sure bro" James said laughing
"Alright everyone we are closing for lunch. Come back after for more fun" One of the counselors said
We all head out. And ended up getting lunch together.
After a couple more hours it was time for the pool party for the teens. So I got my swim trunks on again. But this time Alex, Arthur and James did it too. After getting ready we head to the pool area. We saw the girls in the hot tub. So we went in with them
"Alright who wants to play a game?" Arthur said
"Oh no" Alex, James and I said at the same time
"What?" Ashley, Phoebe, Amber and Samantha asked
"Arthur always choses the worse games" I said
"No I don't!" Arthur said
"Really? What about the Santana time?" I asked him
"Hey the first round I got you and Carley together" He said pointing at me
"We are not doing dares Arthur" James said
"Why?" He asked in a whiney voice
"Because we are all in couples idiot" Alex said to his twin
"Hey if I'm an idiot then so are you because you're my twin" He said to Alex
"Unfortunately you are my twin" Alex said under his breathe but we all heard him and burst out laughing
"Haha very funny. Now can we do the dares or not?" He asked
"No!" James, Alex and I said
"Why not?" Ashley asked
"Because his dares are kissing people that's why" Alex said
"Oh......then yeah I'm not doing that" Ashley said
"Me neither" Amber, Phoebe and Samantha said
"Party poopers" Arthur said
"How would Ellie feel about you kissing another person Arth?" I asked my cousin
"Good point" He said in a whisper
"Alright well I have a game. And it's called truths" Alex said
"Hey that's literally my game except it's not called dares" Arthur said smacking Alex on the head
"Hey! And no it's not like your game. You see my game you got to speak the truth when someone ask you a question" Alex said then smacked Arthur on the head.
"Yeah that sounds like a better game" I said
"Agreed" Everyone but Arthur said
"Ok fine" Arthur said sadly
"Alright I'll ask the first question. And this question is going to Phoebe" Alex said
"Oh god" Phoebe said
"Don't worry it's not too bad. The question is how did you meet your boyfriend?" Alex asked her
"Thats actually a funny story. You see my boyfriend and I were friends in kindergarten to 4th grade. But he moved away. When Instagram came out I found his account and we started to talk. And we just became a couple" Phoebe said
"That's cute" I said
"Thank you" Phoebe said with a smile
"Alright Phoebe ask someone a question" Alex said to her
"Alright, um lets see Alex. Since you asked me about my boyfriend I want to know about your girlfriend" She said with a smile
"Ok um well Gabby and I have been friends since we were little. We were oblivious to our feelings. Until this summer i finally got the balls to ask her to be mine" Alex said with a smile
"Awww" The girls said
"Alright I guess I'm asking another question?" He asked. We all nodded. "Alright then. Ashley how did you meet your boyfriend?" He asked Ashley this time
"Well I met my boyfriend on another cruise but he actually was in the same state as me. So we started to talk more and we hung out a lot. Then one day he asked me to be his girlfriend and I said yes" She said with a smile
"That's cute" Arthur said
"Thanks" Ashley said
"Alright Ashley your turn to ask someone" Alex said
"Alright Eric why don't you tell us the story of how you met your girlfriend" Ashley said
I laugh. "Alright its a funny story though" I said
"We are all ears" Amber said
"Alright well you see my parents gave me and my siblings up to our aunt and uncle. Which are Alex's and Arthur's parents. So I moved schools. Alex and Arthur thought it was a good idea for me to get to know the people from school. So they brought over their friend group for a party. I met Arthur's girlfriend there, and she introduced me to all her friends. But the girl who stood out was Arthur's girlfriend's best friend. So I got to know her. We talked and we did kiss that night thanks to Arthur's game. We didn't start dating right away though. It took 4 days before we finally got together. And I truly love her" I said smiling
"Awwww!" The girls said
"Alright um Amber how did you meet your boyfriend?" I asked Amber
"I met my boyfriend at camp. Now we didn't talk until the LITs and CITs all got together. Both boys and girls. We had a great time during summer that we continued to talk and begin to date" Amber said with a smile
"That's cute" James said
"James you're next" Amber said
"Well you guys kind of already know how Taylor and i met though. We met thanks to Eric and his girlfriend. But honestly thank you Eric" He said patting my shoulder
"No problem bro" I said smiling at him
"Alright teens we have a show going on right now. You can still play your games. However if you want pay attention that means you need to be quiet" One of the counselors said
The show went on. We all payed attention then after we all went back to our rooms to get changed for the next event. Which was awards.
After the awards there was a party. And it was fun. I had fun with Arthur, Alex and James this whole week. I would definitely do a cruise again. Maybe next time with Carley
Once the party was over at 1. The cruise gang and I head to our restaurant one last time. We all got food then went back to our rooms.
"This week was amazing" I said sitting on my bed
"Definitely" James said hoping on to the bunk bed.
"Yeah much more fun then it was just our family" Alex said going over to his bed
"Yeah totally agree" Arthur said going on their bunk bed
"Well this time tomorrow we will be back home in the arms of our girls" I said
"I can't wait for that" Arthur said
"Yeah" We agreed
"Well I'm gonna go to sleep. Cause the sooner I fall asleep the faster I see Carley" I said and put the cover over me. "Goodnight guys. Love you" I said
"Love you too Eric" They said
"Also goodnight" They finished
I fell asleep and dreamed of have Carley and I are gonna see each other tomorrow. I can't wait!
