relationship talk? [andi]

[cash kennedy]

How Cash hated talking about relationships, he wasn't one to talk about emotions and stuff like that. What was even worse than emotions was relationships. He hated thinking a relationship was one thing when he was totally wrong and ended up looking like a complete idiot because of it. But he tried to just be positive and look forward to seeing her. Letting out a sigh as he walked towards her cabin, he wasn't exactly sure what to think. That night at the pool had been great, but still the way things started out made the rest of the night a little awkward for him.

Dressed in a black t-shirt and jeans, it was nothing special. After all this was just a talk, not special at all. He hadn't even put on a high collar shirt like what he had to do whenever he sang. Anybody who saw the marks on his neck asked him about him, but Cash just tried to blow it off as if it was nothing. Running a hand through his hair as he stopped outside her door. Here was the moment where he could either walk in or turn right back around and lie and say he had something else to do. Taking a deep breath, he thought for a moment and then exhaled. Okay, he would be calm he need to reassure himself that everything would be alright. Opening the door to her cabin, he stepped inside and shut the door behind him.

"Andi?" He called out wondering where she was. Well there was no turning back now, he only hoped that this would end up alright.

Andi was nervous. That didn't happen very often, even when it came to boys. Although she had only been in one or two relationships, none had gotten that serious. But she wanted it to be serious with Cash, she was still getting mixed signals from him, so she had no idea how this talk would end up. She had chosen a private location to talk. Afraid that a public rejection would result in her crying. She knew that if he said he only wanted to be friends, that she would cry. It had been nice talking to Carly about everything. Andi had missed having a girl friend to chat with, since she had only met Cash on thie trip. She couldn't help but be nervous as she tidied up her room. She had requested evening service from the maids, since she prefered to sleep in, so her room was still a mess.

Andi had still been in her pajamas when she had texted him, so she quickly went to her closet to find something to wear. She picked a grey flecked long sleeved shirt with a tiny red heart on the side of her shoulder, and a pair of bleached jeans. On her feet she had her oh so adult eeyore slippers. Remembering that Cash was older by two years, and would probably think she was a baby, she quickly rummaged around, settling on her black cowboy boots. She usually walked around her penthouse cabin in her socks, but decided for the occassion, she'd wear shoes. Rushing to her ensuite bathroom, she tried to find some makeup to put on. She was halfway through her eyeliner when Cash walked in and called her name. "I'll be out in a minute, make yourself at home! er... ship" she called silently cursing herself for sounding so stupid, although the door was open so she was sure he could see her bent over infront of the mirror putting on abit of eyeliner.

Walking out, she shut the door behind her, so he wouldn't see all the clothes she had flung from her bedroom floor onto the bathroom floor. "hey" she said quietly, walking over and sat down on the couch, folding her legs up to her chest, resting her head on her knees and looking up at him. Cash had only ever seen her in a dress, or in a bathing suit, but never dressed casually. In the past few days, Andi had gone to one or two of Cash's shows, and didn't let him see her. He was an amazing singer and performer. Did it make her a stalker that she was there, and he didn't know? she didn't think so because there was always a big crowd gathered around the stage. It made her jealous, and even alittle mad because it was mostly girls, who were almost trying to jump up on the stage! he was hers. Well, technically he wasn't. But she wanted him to be. She wanted the girls on the ship to see them together, holding hands, kissing and teasing eachother. This talk would let her know if she got what she wanted or not.

Cash had nobody to talk to about this stuff. His friends would probably all say the same thing, they'd probably all tell him that he was stupid not to have done anything with her that night in the hot tub. Of course that was the natural guy answer. But Cash wanted something a little more meaningful than that. He wanted advice, but unfortunately he had yet to meet anybody with really good advice.

Hearing her 'make yourself at home..err ship' comment, he looked around the cabin and sat down on the couch. He wasn't exactly sure what to do while he waited. Trying to think of what he should say or if he should say anything, maybe he should let her start things out. After all it was her idea for them to talk things out. But he didn't want to be surprised by what she said.

Cash smiled as she came out and sat down. "Hey." He had missed her, that was one thing for sure. But he didn't know if he should say that or what, after all it was only like what..a few days since he'd seen her? "So um..about us..." He didn't know if he should continue or if she wanted to start out of what. Why did this have to be so confusing? He wished it wasn't confusing at all but he didn't know how to phrase things and what to say. Cash wanted to tell her about how much he liked her, but he didn't want to seem too cheesy or what happens if she didn't like him as much as he liked her? Oh god that would be really embarrassing. As much as he enjoyed the other girls on board the ship, he didn't really see anything too amazing about them. He really only interacted with them when he was on stage, some of them were sweet but others were just to touchy and clingy and wanted to be with him right then and there. It was all very flattering but if he was going to be with a girl, he at least wanted to know them and at least talk for a little bit.

Andi smiled back at hsi greeting. Her heart flipflopped uncomfortably when he looked at her. She had missed him, although it had only been a few short days since they had been foooling around in the pool together. Kicking off her boots, she rested her cheek on her knees as she looked at Cash, wiggling her toes slightly. She was so nervous. She wanted this to work out, but what if she had scared him away and appeared too forward when they were in the hot tub? she felt abit ackward after that moment, and it would hang over her head until this was all figured out. Biting her lip, she sighed, pushing her long hair away. It was a pain, but she could never live without her long hair. She didn't know who was going to spek first, so she just sat there in the ackward silence. If things were easy, then they'd already know how the other felt.. and if he felt like she did: they'd be dating.

When he spoke again, Andi really tried to hold in the words she so desperatly wanted to say. She wanted to say that she cared for him, and liked him. And who knew? with time, she could fall in love with him. Andi had never told a boy she loved him. In teasing she had.. but never being serious. All of her previous boyfriends would say it, but she was never sure if they meant it. Licking her lips, she also found it hard not giving him a welcome kiss. But now wasn't the time.. if he said he wanted to be friends, and she had kissed him before, it would make everything more messy and complicated. She thought he liked her, unless that was just wishful thinking on her part. But what was there to dislike about her? She knew guys got caught up on looks, which she thought was very stupid.. but she thought she was attractive, and had an appealing body.

Finally, her loud ways kicked in. Looking at him, she unfolded her legs, and crossed one knee over the other, bouncing her foot slightly. "Look... I like you. Alot." she said, looking at him, her blue eyes serious, but also hopeful. "I want to be with you, but if you don't feel the same, just tell me and I'll leave you alone." she added in, abit softer. Andi had always been blunt, and times like this it could help alot. Who knew how long they could have sat there, looking at eachother and casually glancing around the room. But no, the silence had been getting to her. In the back of her mind, she couldn't help but visualize what would happen if he said he didn't want to be with her. She'd definitly be upset, and then he'd probably think she was stupid. Maybe he was like that with every girl. He hadn't made a move to kiss her when she first came in, maybe it was a sign. Or maybe she was just paranoid.

He hated awkward silence, it was one of his greatest fears. He just felt so uncomfortable when he knew there should be talking but there was no talking at all. Should he say something? He felt a little pressured and had no idea what on earth to say. If he said something it would probably be incredibly stupid and then that would make even more awkward silence for them.

He kind of missed the hello kiss, he was tempted to do it as well but didn't want to be so flirty when they were about to have a serious conversation. If things worked out well he had no problem giving her a belated hello kiss, and if they didn't work out...well he guessed he'd have to look for someone else then. But it would be quite awkward to see her around the ship after everything that had happened. Cash thought Andi was gorgeous, not to mention adorable. There were so many ways to describe her, but he wasn't about to list them all. He was surprised she didn't have guys asking to go out with her all the time. He felt lucky to have her attention even if it was just for a little bit or what.

"I like you too, and I'd love to be with you." He smiled, well at least they had the same feelings for eachother. If they didn't that would make things so weird for them. Cash scooted over closer to her and then asked,"So would you be my girlfriend, Andi?" Wow he thought this was going to be terrible, but instead he was actually kind of looking forward to what else they'd be talking about or whatever.

Andi grinned when he said he had the same feelings, when he moved closer. She took his hand and gently rested it on her lap, continuing to hold it and rub her fingers over the back of it. When he finally asked her to be his girlfriend, she grinned, moving herself closer. "I'd love to be your girlfriend" she whispered. Letting a hand rest on the back of his neck and guiding it down to her face, kissing him warmly. She had been waiting for days to kiss him again, and now she felt no regret. He was her boyfriend now... so it was okay. Although, there were things that had to be figured out. Andi didn't want them to be a secret, and she doubted she'd be able to keep that from people anyway. So they had to discuss lots of things. She doubted her parents would be thrilled of her romance on the high seas, but oh well.

Snuggling abit closer, she rested her head on his shoulder, pulling her knees back up to her chest and bring all her hair over one shoulder. "so what are we going to do? I don't want to keep us a secret... but what if you get fired." she said quietly, resting a hand on his knee and looking up into his brown eyes with a concerned loook on her face. Rubbing his knee gently, she turned herself alittle more towards him, quite content to stay there for hours. Although the friends on her buddy list had different plans, because before she knew it, she heard a loud noise coming from the computer. Her friend had sent her a voice message, and it caused her to jump straight off the couch onto Cash's lap. She looked at him and smiled embarrassingly. "oops?" she offered, silently cursing her friend for the bad timing in which to yell into the microphone.

Blushing, she picked herself up and gave him a quick peck on the lips. "just one second." she said, walking over to her bed where her laptop was. Flopping down on her stomach, she quickly replied, informing her that she was busy with her boyfriend. If that gave the girl any hint, since she had loudly asked if "That hottie singer you like asked you out yet.". Turning down the sound on her laptop, she closed it, and picked herself back up, walking over to Cash and gingerly sitting down. "don't you hate when you get sent messages meant for other conversations" she said, acting as if the message hadn't been meant for her. Wiggling her toes in her little duckie socks, she smiled up at Cash, her boyfriend. She kept repeating that in her head, and it felt more and more real each time. She didn't have to feel jealous when he was performing, and all those girls were standing around wishing they were between his sheets. She could run up on stage when he was done, and kiss him.. right in front of everyone.

Her hand on top of his, it just felt so natural. Cash was already getting used to this new relationship. As she guided him towards her to the kiss, he kissed her softly but with passion as well. This would be quite an amazing trip on the Queen Mary now. Kinda reminded him of the Titanic...only no ships sinking or anything like that.

When she asked what they should do now, he had to think for a moment. That was a hard decision, he wondered how to explain his suggestion. "I don't want to keep it a secret, but I don't want it to be too crazy, you know?" He didn't want everyone on the ship going crazy over the both of them getting together. He'd rather just tell a few people and they could be together in public, he just didn't want this news to be spreading like wildfire. Cash was just about to lean in and kiss her when all of a sudden he heard the noise. He couldn't help but laugh as she jumped into his lap, well today was full of surprises.

Cash couldn't believe his luck, this had turned out to be an amazing day. As he sat there waiting for her to return, he was still letting the feeling sink in. He had a gorgeous girlfriend, he was with an amazing girl. Smiling as she returned to him, he leaned in and kissed her softly on the lips. "Yeah I know, I've gotten random texts from people sometimes." That had been pretty weird, or there was that one voice message from some girl who went on a whole speech about how last night was amazing. He had no idea what that was about but it was pretty funny to listen to. "I'm glad we had this talk." There was no doubt about that, he was so happy to be here with her. He couldn't get over how happy he was.
