From My Little Corner

Chapter 6
Happy Monthiversary


There was a new band up on the stage, and the couple turned around to see who it was that was up next. “We’re originally from Virginia, but hearing that this cruise had some openings for bands, we decided to come around.” It was Jeremy, the guy that Rochelle ran into a few times. “Alright, so let me introduce you to the group, I’m Jeremy. I’m the lead singer, over here is Paul, and he’s our electric guitarist. Johanna is our bassist, James, Chris, and Nick is our trumpet players, and Cal is our drummer.”

Rochelle and Danny looked at each other with raised eyebrows, “This is gonna sound interesting…” She folded her arms across her chest as she made her way over towards the couch that they were sitting at earlier, “Let’s watch from here. Too much body heat.” Danny followed her, sitting down next to her with her legs folded over his.

“Looks like we got competition,” Danny sighed, wrapping his arm around her shoulders.

“I know,” she laughed, “They have trumpets, very original.” He rolled his eyes, leaning in towards her, kissing her neck gently, “Danny… don’t you wanna see if they’re good or not?” He shrugged as he gently pushed her down on the couch; he climbed on top of Rochelle, kissing her lips gently. Her face grew red, as she turned away from her, “Hey, there are people around here. What if one of them sees us? What if Scott sees you on top of me?”

Danny chuckled, pulling himself off of her. “You’re right. I don’t want to get my ass kicked. We can just make out though.” He pulled her close onto her lap, their lips clashing against each other.

From his view, he was able to see the two couples make out from afar. Those two were the only people that were in his sight. Jeremy continued to sing though he really only paid attention to Rochelle and that boyfriend of hers. He sighed, opening his mouth, “…So throw your hands up in the air, so sing along with me if you don’t want to be in another trend.” The trumpets behind him played their solos as he smiled at the crowd who were throwing their heads back and forth at the music they played.

“No PDA.” Randy’s face popped into view once more at the couple that were making out. “Anyways, we’re going to go to Scott’s room and just chat, if you two would like to join, feel free. Don’t go all XXX on us though.” He gave a ‘teehee’. He ruffled with Danny’s hair making his way over towards the exit.

“Wanna go?” Danny stood up, taking her hand. She smiled, standing up with him. The couple slowly walked over towards the door, and Rochelle turned around, to look at Jeremy sing on the stage. His grey-blue eyes were staring at her green ones as he continued to sing to the crowd. She smiled, waving to him as he waved back. The two of them walked out of the room, quickly making their way back up to their floor.

Danny knocked on the door, and Mike swung the door open with a girl in arm. “Told you,” He mouthed, turned back around and sat on his bed. The girl giggled, her hands caressing his chest, laughing shyly at everything he was whispering into her ears. Danny looked over at Rochelle, shrugging.

“C’mon! We have enough guys and girls to play, Spin-the-bottle!” Randy was already in the room with an empty bottle of sports drink. He grinned childishly as the girls that weren’t originally part of their group laughed, giving a ‘sure, why not’ look.

Rochelle looked over at Danny not sure if she wanted to be a part of it. She didn’t want to kiss her friends or even that, kiss girls, but Danny smiled, “We’ll play one round, and we’ll go back to our room. Don’t wanna be party poopers, right?” She sighed, nodding a couple times.

They made a small circle of sixteen people, they shifted some of the ornaments around and they sat a boy, girl, boy, girl pattern. “Alright. I’ll go first.” Randy, the obvious one, leaned in towards the bottle that was set out in the middle, spinning it around. “Hope everyone’s got their first kiss.” He grinned, rubbing his hands together, waiting for the bottle to stop.

“Oh yeah,” Russell spoke up, “Danny, we sold about five of our CDs earlier. Some of these girls bought some.” He watched the bottle slow down to a stop. It was the girl that Mike was flirting with earlier.

Randy grinned, as he and the girl leaned in, their lips pressing up against each other. “Oh, nice.” He licked his lips as they sat back down. “Your turn.” He turned towards the girl next to him, as she leaned in, spinning the bottle.

A knock came from the door just as the girl spun the bottle. “I’ll get it.” Russell grunted, standing up, the blue-headed boy opened the door, “Buying a CD?” He leaned up against the door.

“Ah… um, yeah.” The boy scratched the back of his head, as Russell let him into the room.

“Hey, aren’t you the one that Rochelle knocked over earlier today?” He dug through Scott’s luggage, looking for an extra CD.

The brunette-head turned around, blinking a few times, “Ah! Jeremy! Are you finished with your concert?” She stood up, walking over to him, “Would you like to join? We’re playing spin-the-bottle.” She laughed, rolling her eyes, “It’s kiddy, but it’s something to pass time with.” She took his head leading him into the circle. “Hey, Jonathan, could you scoot over?” The mute boy nodded, and shifted slightly so Jeremy was able to join their game.

“Danny. It’s your turn.” Randy called out, frowning just a little. The blonde was staring at the newcomer as he talked to Rochelle. Danny frowned a little, but quickly snapped out of it, and spun the bottle.

“Eh? Are you serious?” Danny exclaimed, scratching his head. The opening of the bottle was facing Russell. The blue-headed boy blinked a couple times, and then he shook his head, “No way I’m kissing him.” Then a quiet chant by his girlfriend started, “Kiss him. Kiss him. Kiss him.” Soon enough the rest of the group started to chant along with Rochelle. “Hope you’re going to be sleeping with your eyes opened.” He growled, as he quickly kissed Russell on the lips.

Everyone laughed, clapping their hands at the two guys. Russell remained seated, frowning slightly with a disgusted look upon his face. “I’m officially scarred for life…” He wiped his lips with his shirt, spatting a couple times. “Disgusting.”

“Go Rochelle!” Randy stuck his tongue out, loving the game. She laughed a little, her hands grabbing the base and spun it quickly. It took a few seconds for the bottle to stop on the guy sitting next to her. Rochelle turned over towards Jeremy. I’d rather kiss a girl… She thought to herself as she leaned in nervously, her lips touching Jeremy’s. Surprisingly, he parted his lips slightly along with hers but Rochelle quickly pulled away from him, putting on a really shy look. “Ah…” She scratched the back of her head, staring down at the carpeted floor.

The game went on for a bit longer, Danny and Rochelle stayed for another round before they left Scott’s room to theirs. Danny’s turn landed on the girl that sat next to Randy, who was rather cute looking. Rochelle’s was Scott. The two of them were a bit reluctant to do so, since they were pretty much brothers and sisters by their closeness.

The two of them were quiet when they returned to their room, “I’m going to go take a bath.” Danny sighed, grabbing his pajama pants. He closed the door behind him and the waters began running. Rochelle sat on the bed, sighing a little, touching her lips remembering the lips that touched hers. Jeremy. Shaking her head quickly, she tried to forget about him, and she jumped off and grabbed her clothes. Rochelle opened the door to the bathroom, slipping off her clothes.

Danny laid in the tub, his head tilted back, and his arm resting at the side of the tub. Turning his head towards the side, he opened his eyes, seeing his girlfriend naked before him. “Rochelle, what are you doing?” He sat up a little as she stepped into the tub.

“I’m going to take a bath with you.” She smiled faintly, seating herself between his legs. Rochelle leaned up against his chest, “Danny… I hope you were upset that I, you know, kissed Jeremy and Scott. It was, you know, really awkward though.” She took his arm, wrapping it around her chest, “I don’t wanna play that game ever again.”

Danny glanced down at Rochelle, “That’s fine.” He hugged her tightly, kissing the crook of her neck, “Hey, how far along do you see us in the future?” He took her hands, gently kissing each finger gently.

“The two of us?” She tipped her head back, staring at him, “As long as you still care about me, we can last for a long time.” He took the hands that he was kissing earlier, dipping it into the water slowly, guiding her hands between her legs, taking her middle finger, rubbing her clit gently. “Danny.” She gasped, spreading her legs out further.

“I’ll always care about you…” He whispered into her ears, nibbling at her earlobe, “You’re my only person. I promise you that.” He chuckled, taking her finger dipping it into her core. “It’s much easier in water, huh?” His middle finger and hers pumped in and out of her core with him leading her.

She blushed a little, her toes curling tightly, slightly bucking her hips to his movements. “Danny…” Rochelle whispered slightly, her hands slipped away from her body, grabbing the back of his head, moaning loudly. His fingers continued to pump in and out of her core, adding up to three fingers. His other hand grabbed her breasts, pinching her nipples gently, twisting it from side to side.

She moaned loudly, grabbing locks of his hair. Danny smiled, using his thumb to rub her clit while he fingered her slowly. “Danny… faster, faster.” She begged quietly, rocking her hips against his finger. Her walls clenching his fingers tightly as he followed her orders, moving his fingers in and out quicker.

“You like that, do you?” He grinned, whispering into her ears, “Do you?” Danny rocked his hips against her slightly, rubbing his erection against her backside. She gasped, biting her lower lip. She nodded her head to his question. He stood up, pulling her up with him, and yanked the shower curtains closed. He kissed her softly on the lips as the waters rain down upon their head. Rochelle sighed, resting her head upon his chest as his fingers continued to move in and out of her. “You know…” She began, whispering, “This would be romantic if… we were outside in the pouring rain, just kissing… and—” She stopped, moaning quietly.

“And what?”

“N… nothing.” She shook her head. Danny grinned, his fingers slipping out of her core. He pushed her up against the wall, grabbing both of her legs, wrapping them around his waist. Danny gritted his teeth, pushing his hard cock into her opening slowly. His hands were pressed up against the walls, holding himself up as he thrust himself into her.

Rochelle moaned, her hips rolling along with the same rhythm as Danny’s thrust. “Danny… Danny!” She panted as her inner walls squeezed his shaft, as he began to pump himself faster. “Shit!” His hands moved from the walls to grabbing her ass, turning the two of them around. Danny’s back was now leaning against the wall. Rochelle rocked her hips back and forth, her back arching backwards as a white light took over her vision. At that same time, Danny came inside her, groaning loudly.

They stayed in the same position for a while before Danny carefully set her down. He yawned as he grabbed the shampoo bottle the cruise ship provided. “Turn around.” He whispered as Rochelle turned her back towards him. Danny held the shampoo bottle over her head as the thick gooey liquid oozed out of the container. He set it down and then gently gathered up her long hair, letting the shampoo trail down her soaked hair before he began to massage her head.

She giggled a little, feeling his fingers gently move along her scalp, washing her hair. “Danny you don’t have to…”

“But I want to.” He quickly replied, rinsing her soapy hair with the water that was running out of the showerhead. Next, he took the soap bar, and took her arm, letting the blue bar run over her wet skin, washing her thoroughly. He grasped the soap, rubbing it over her stomach and her breasts. He turned her around, and knelt down before her, cleaning her legs and inner thighs.

He leaned in, kissing her inner thigh. After Danny finished hew lower body, he took the bar, slipping it in between her tights, letting it run through her pubic areas. His two fingers slipped into her wet core, sliding them in and out.

Rochelle gasped loudly, grabbing his arms as her knees suddenly grew weak. “Don’t tell me you’re getting turned on again…” He joked slipping his fingers out.

He grinned, raising an eyebrow. He washed his hair since Rochelle wasn’t tall enough to reach the top of his head. She, however, washed his body. Rochelle smirked to herself as her hands trailed down to a flaccid shaft, grabbing it gently, stroking it with the soap bar in her hands.

Danny froze, grabbing her hands quickly. “What do you think you’re doing?” He gasped as she continued to stroke his semi-hard cock.

“I’m cleaning you.” Rochelle stated innocently.

***

“Right there! Yeah, harder…” Rochelle was on her hands and knees as she tried to whisper out to Danny. They were on the bed, with Danny pounding his cock into her from behind.

He grabbed her hips tightly, trying to hold back a pleasured moan. It was rather late, and the couple already finished their shower almost an hour ago. Chances are, their neighbors would be sleeping, and their neighbors were their friends. It wouldn’t have been the best idea to wake them up.

She hung her head, her whole body rocking along to Danny’s rough movements. Their skins slapping against each other eat time Danny thrust his cock into her.

Slowly, he pulled his dick out of Rochelle and moved under her, grabbing her hips, lowering them onto his dick. Rochelle fell back on her knees, her hips rolling against his shaft. She panted, rocking his dick in her pussy faster. Danny propped up on his elbows, his left hand reaching out and his index finger rubbed her hard clit.

She gasped, her walls clamping down on his dick. “Fuck, I’m gonna cum again.” Danny strained a groan, grabbing her hips and flipped her over, thrusting himself into her rapidly. He grunted cumming just as she milked himself.

He pulled himself out of her, falling onto the space next to Rochelle and pulled her into an embrace. Danny covered their naked bodies up with the comforter that they threw towards the side earlier.

“Hey Rochelle?”
“Hm?”
“Did that… Jeremy guy kiss better than I do?” In his voice, he sounded slightly vulnerable, but then again, he was probably on the brink of falling asleep. “After you kissed him, you know, you grew all… quiet and you acted differently.”

Rochelle shifted, turning herself around, “First of all, Danny, he was the first guy I kissed other than you. So yeah, I’d be kind of nervous… but I’m not gonna like, he was different’ he had those soft lips and… and, well, it wasn’t the same like yours.” Danny stared at her for a moment, a frown upon his lips. “But…” Rochelle raised an eyebrow, “There was no static in that kiss, there was no passion, no… Danny.” She lifted her hands towards her lower lip, “Danny…” Rochelle smiled, kissing him gently. “I like Danny’s kiss the most.”

He smiled, wrapping his arms around her waist tightly. “Thanks…”

“Mhm.”

***

“Good Morning.” Danny whispered to Rochelle as she woke up, “Good sleep?”

“Yeah…” She smiled, snuggling closer towards him.

“What did you dream of?”
“Us.”
“What about us?”
“The two of us… making love.”

Danny grinned, “Yeah? How was it like?” His hands caressed her arm, running gently up and down her smooth skin.

“We were at the part; eating sandwiches that I had packed as we watched the sun slowly disappear behind the horizon. The two of us remained in the park, staring at the stars, naming the constellations. And then, we started kissing passionately and you…” Rochelle paused blushing slightly.

“What?”

“And then you… your fingers trailed down my body, and then they slipped through my skirt and panties and your fingers, rubbed my…” She gasped, feeling Danny’s finger making small circles on her clit.

“Like that?” His voiced dropped a few octaves as he continued to rub her. Rochelle nodded her breath quickening. “You’re already so wet.” Danny shuddered, “What else happened?”

It took a few moments for Rochelle to gather up her thoughts before she spoke up once more. “Um… well, your fingers moved down my slit and you stuck your finger into my…’ Rochelle glanced down, seeing the dent in the comforter Dannymade with his hands. His fingers ran up and down her slit. Knowing Danny, he wouldn’t do anything that she didn’t say – in the lines of teasing her. “I-into my pussy.”

He grinned, quickly slipping a singer finger into her, pushing it in and pulling it out slowly. Rochelle gasped quietly, bucking her hips against him and continued on with her dream, “Then, after a while, you slipped your fingers out of me, stripped my off my remainder clothing, and climbed on top of me…”

She closed her eyes tightly, feeling the bed mattress shift somewhat. Opening her eyes once more, Rochelle saw Danny directly above her body. “And you lowered your… dick, pushing it slowly into my…”

“Good morning, boys and gi- Whoa!” There was the sound of the door slamming shut.

Shocked, Danny hopped off Rochelle, grabbing his boxers and slipped them on. Rochelle remained on the bed, grabbing the blanket that had slipped off when Danny moved around.

“What happened?” Scott’s voice slipped into the room through the cracks of the door.

“Oh…” It was Mike who had opened the door. His face was completely flushed as he fidgeted, “Well, I uh… saw Rochelle, you know naked.” He was trying to make up an excuse as he turned away from the older one.

“Not with Danny, I hope.” He folded his arms across his chest, as he replied menacingly.

“No, she was changing…” He paused, then grinned, “I saw her titties.” Scott punched him quickly in the arm. “Ow! What the hell?” Mike rubbed his arm, pouting.

“Rochelle?” Scott leaned against the door, “Are you dressed, yet?”

“N-N-No. I’m putting on my clothes right now.” She stuttered, as she stared at Danny, raising an eyebrow. Her face was red from embarrassment. “I’m… a-almost finished, Scott!” She gasped, trying her hair back since the pair didn’t get a lot of time to put on their clothes. “Danny, where are my glasses?”

“Over here.”
“I can’t see!”

From her view, all she saw was a blurred figured walking over towards her and then her vision cleared up. Rochelle smiled, “Thanks.” Turning away from him, she took a deep breath and slowly opened the door to face Mike and Scott. “Hi.” She said meekly, “What are we going to do today?”

Trying to act like he didn’t see anything, Mike blushed, stuttering, “Well, t-t-the group and I fuh-figured that we w-would you know, chill for a bit and do our own t-things and er… meet up later to practice.” Rochelle’s eyes widened for a moment, then shutting the door in his face.

The door opened once more, as Danny stared blankly at his two other friends, “Rochelle and I wanna hang out together. It’s out sixth Monthiversary. Didn’t I tell you guys?” He scratched the back of his blonde shaggy hair, glancing over at Mike for a moment, before he looked away again, “You guys don’t mind right?”

At the same time, the two of them spoke up, “Oh yeah. No problem.”

“Thanks guys.”

Mike and Scott walked off, “Dude, you should have seen her. She has the biggest and really, really firm— OW!” Mike whined, rubbing his left arm as Scott held a fist up to him. “What is it you wanna tell me?” The younger one shook his head to see Danny still watching the two of them. He grinned, giving him a thumbs up. As Scott walked into the room, Mike remained outside for a few seconds, giving Danny a pelvic thrust.

The blonde shook his head, slamming the door on Mike. Going back to his girlfriend, he smiled, “Well, I’m certainly not turned on anymore.” He laughed a little bit, hugging her tightly. Rochelle blushed.

“You don’t think he saw anything, did he?”

“He probably did. There was no cover on us when he walked in.”

Rochelle’s face grew into an even redder shade as she buried her face in his chest, “Oh no! That’s horrible! He saw me naked! Me! Oh my goodness, he saw my down there!” She crossed her legs together, whining.

“Don’t worry. It’s just Mike. He won’t say anything. I know him.” He twirled his finger around her ponytail, “Anyways, hope you remember what today is.”

She blinked for a moment, raising an eyebrow. There was a silence lingering in the air for the moment, but she smiled, “Yeah. Of course I did.” Rochelle smiled, “Of course I did.” She stuck her tongue out at Danny, “Have any plans?”

“That I do.” Danny kissed her lips gently, grabbing her hands, “We have a breakfast arrangement at nine, and then after that we can hang out a little bit, and then lunch, then dinner…” He raised an eyebrow, giving Rochelle a crooked grin. “C’mon!” He went over towards the door, pushing Rochelle out.

She laughed as he closed the door and the two of them ran up the stairs. He took her hands as the couple went two by two, reaching the deck that lie beneath the sundeck, Dolphin Deck. Rochelle gasped, taking in a deep breath as they reached their destination. “My goodness, no wonder you’re in track.” She grabbed onto the sleeve of his shirt, inhaling deeply before she laughed once more. “You’re crazy.”

“You like it, and you know it.” Danny poked her forehead, “C’mon. The restaurant’s called JaiJai Le Shen.” He blinked a few times, knowing that he didn’t pronounce the name right. “It’s an uhm, Chinese Restaurant. I checked with the captain before and he told me that their breakfast is wonderful, and I wanted to, you know, try it with you.”

“I love Chinese food!” She clasped her hands together.

“I know you do.” Danny opened the door as it chimed, and the two of them walked in. They were greeted with a few Chinese women dressed up in their blue and red traditional clothing. There were many people around already considering that it was only nine in the morning.

“Zhao Ahn.” One of the women greeted them, bowing down in a ninety degree angle. “Good morning, how many will there be this morning?”

Danny bowed to them as well, “We have a reservation made for Pryce?” The woman in the red nodded, going over towards the reservation list, “Pryce…” She checked the list while the woman in the blue served the others that walked into the restaurant. “Ah, here it is. Daniel Pryce, yes?”

“Oh, jeez, Mom.” Danny scratched the back of his head, “I don’t like it when she uses my real name.” He glanced over at Rochelle while was smiling back at him. “But, ah, yes. That is me.”

“Alright, please come this way.” The woman led the two couples through the tables, weaving in and out of the people who were walking around. “Special reservations that are made ahead of time are normally seated in the upstairs rooms; they are sectioned off into private rooms for the guests…” The woman slowly walked up the stairs, her hands gripping tightly onto the railing. Her tiny feet made quiet tip tap sounds as they made their way to the second floor. “Here it is.” She smiled, sliding open the door made out of thin paper and wood.

The couple made their way into the room. There was a table made out of an oak tree, polished and perfect, and then two seats made out of the same material, and a red silk like cushion on the seat. The room was decorated with Chinese lanterns and Chinese writings hung in the corners of each wall. It was beautiful though. There was a single picture that hung at the back of the wall stretching out from end to end, painted with watercolor. It was a picture of a single misty mountain created with simple brush strokes. Rochelle’s mouth dropped open into an “o” shape as she stared amazed. “It’s so beautiful!”

“Here are your menus…” The woman pointed at the small sheet of paper, laminated with beautiful laces wearing through the holes, keeping the menu attacked. “What would you like your drinks to be?” The couple ordered their refreshments, and the woman bowed, walking out of the room, leaving the door slightly opened.

“Danny, you do too much for me.” She gently flipped through her menu, afraid that everything would fall apart if she acted too rough with the material. Rochelle sighed, “You’re too kind. My Monthiversary gif—” She stopped, her hands flying to her mouth.

His blue eyes slowly traced up towards hers from the menu. “Eh?” Danny knew what she was talking about, but he said nothing else. “I’ll get this hot and sour soup. Russell says these things taste good. Oh! And they have this sweet soy milk and you dip it into this bread that they grill. It’s really good, I had it once before, wanna try?”

Rochelle’s nose wrinkled hearing the names of ‘soy milk’. “What the heck is that?”

“Soy and milk? Come on, it wouldn’t hurt to try something new.” Danny winked, setting down his menu. He propped his elbow onto the table, staring at Rochelle as she continued to go through the menu. For a moment, he closed his eyes, taking in a deep breath. Danny was able to smell the scent of his girlfriend on the hand he was resting his chin on.

“Alright. I guess… I’ll get what you’ll get.” Rochelle stated with a sigh of defeat.

“Say, Rochelle, how come I never see your Dad?” He popped the question suddenly, remembering that in their six months of dating, she never mentioned him once.

Her green eyes widened as she gripped onto the menu a little tightened. She managed to force a laugh, “Well, when I was about five years old, my father was…” She stared down at the beautiful table, “Well, he died of cancer.” She hadn’t though about her father in a long time. She never had the chance to reminisce the old times. She didn’t exactly remember what he looked like too, just the picture that her mother took of him. Her father was tall and strong, something like Danny. He was a business man, and they had money. Tons of it. Her father, though, he didn’t want them to use it all up, just in case one day they would need the money.

Rochelle shifted uncomfortably in her seat, hearing the awkward silence chime over and over again in her ears.

“I’m sorry...” Danny leaned in, taking her hands into his, “I shouldn’t have asked.” He kissed her knuckles, “Today’s suppose to be a happy day.” His girlfriend shook her head though, smiling faintly.

“You were bound to know one way or the other right?” She tilted her head back, her smile widening a little. Rochelle turned around, hearing the door slide open.

“Are you two finished picking out your meal?” The woman poked her head in, as Danny slipped back into his seat. She smiled, coming in with a serving tray with their ordered drinks.

“Yes… Ah… She and I will like hot and sour soup and two bowls of sweet soy milk with those kind of bread…” He didn’t know for sure what they were called, so he made a gesture, showing the woman what he was talking about. He laughed a little, scratching the back of his head.

“Yes. Yes.” The woman nodded. She didn’t take down any of the orders, but then again, they didn’t order much. She smiled, wrapping the tray across her chest, “Will that be it?” They nodded and she walked out, announcing that it will be ready in a few minutes.

Once again, Danny and Rochelle were alone. He sighed, leaning back in his seat, his fingers fumbling around with the chopsticks, twirling the stick around his fingers back and forth. “I got something for you.” He glanced up at Rochelle an eyebrow raised.

She pursed her lips, blinking a couple times, “What? You mean, this cruise isn’t?”

“Well, it’s part of it…” He poked his cheek with the end of the chopstick, “It’s a part of the Monthiversary gift alright, and Disney World is too. But I figured that I should actually get a real gift you can keep, other than in your memories.” He grinned, “You’ll see later.”

With her heart beating, Rochelle couldn’t wait to see what her gift was. She laughed, her hands covering her mouth. She smiled, forgetting the awkwardness around them. “I got you something too.” She smiled, “You’ll have to see it later.” She gave him a wink.

Their waitress came in with the woman in the blue downstairs earlier. The two of them had the food they had ordered. Their main waitress carried a large bowl of soup and two smaller ones. She had them set on a tin try as she placed the small bowls down and using the large spoon; she scooped up the soup, gently pouring them into the bowls. Danny thanked her, as she set the rest onto the table, leaving the spoon there.

The other waitress had their sweet soy milk and grilled bread. It was about twelve inches for each other and came in pairs.

Rochelle gasped, “Wow. I’m certainly not gonna finish all this.” She slipped her spoon into the soy milk, taking a shy sip. “What do we do with the bread?” She took one, dropping it back onto the plate quickly. “Ow! Hot!” She sucked on her thumb.

Danny laughed, wrapping a napkin around the bread, “You baby…”

“You drink too fast, Danny!” Rochelle pinched his straw, quickly trying to take in more of the strawberry pineapple smoothie. She laughed, letting go of his straw, “Ow.” She whined, “Brain freeze.” She pouted, tugging on her bangs a little.

He leaned in, planting a kiss on her lips, “I know what’ll stop that brain freeze…” He grinned, as Rochelle’s face grew red. The two of them were at the sundeck once more, sharing a smoothie with each other. They sat under an umbrella that was connected to the table. The couple sat on a tall stool, and even with Danny’s height, his legs dangled in midair.

Swinging her legs back and forth, Rochelle waited for the banana split that they ordered to come. When it did, Danny was busy finished off the smoothie and she snatched it away, trying out all three flavors. “Say, ‘Ah’!” She smiled, leaning into the table, waving the spoonful of ice cream in front of Danny’s face.

He turned around when there was no more smoothie in his cup, blinking several times, before he pushed the spoon away from him. “No! Are you crazy? We’re out here in public.” He looked away with his face slightly red. Danny glanced out from the corner of his eyes, noticing his girlfriend frowning. Quickly, then he turned back around, engulfing the spoon and faced the other direction once more.

Rochelle smiled, handing the spoon to him. She watched him as he finished the rest of the ice cream. “You think they have any good movies out? I feel like watching a movie. Maybe something like Tristan and Isolde.”

“Wait, isn’t that a romance movie?” He placed the empty container onto the table, “I was hoping to, I can’t believe I’m saying this, go shopping on the third floor. Or… whatever.” Danny hesitated a little, “I don’t like romance…” He frowned, giving her his infamous puppy dog eyes.

“Shopping, it is!” Rochelle leaned in, pinching his cheeks and gave him a kiss at the top of his nose.
* * *


“Ooooh! Look at this!” Rochelle’s face was pressed up against the windows as she stared at a stuffed toy collection. They were of the dog breed, Welsh Corgis, dressed up in different outfits. “They’re so adorable!” She smiled, “Okay! Let’s go somewhere else.” She smiled, taking his hands.

“No. No. We should buy it for you.” Instead of having Rochelle dragging her over towards where she was headed, he pulled her into the shop. They were on the deck that Danny had mentioned earlier. The twilight deck. It was the floor that had all of the mini shopping stores and the rest of the hoo-haa. He dragged her into the shop, inside there were more of the toys that Rochelle saw earlier.

Rochelle shook her head, “I can’t have that. You’ve already used up so much money…” She grabbed his arms, using both her hands, pulling him out of the shop. “I just… wanna enjoy looking at them. Having them isn’t necessary.” She laughed as they made their way towards another shop.

The blonde turned around as she pressed her face up against the window once more, admiring what she was looking at. Russell’s head popped up and he winked, walking into the store that Danny was going to take Rochelle into. “Danny!” Rochelle waved to her boyfriend as he turned around, seeing that she was far away from him. Danny blinked a few times, before turning back around towards where Russell once was.

“Wait for me.” He laughed a little, running up to Rochelle.

Their glasses clinked against the others. There were eight wine glasses filled halfway through with red wine. Empty dinner plates were set out randomly upon the table. “To Danny and Rochelle’s sixth Monthiversary,” The guys laughed, taking a sip of the wine before setting it down onto the dinner table.

The sun had disappeared beyond the horizon a few hours ago and the group was sitting in a top notch restaurant at the sundeck. They were outside under the cloudless night as the stars twinkled brightly. Rochelle laughed quietly, “You guys make it sound like Danny and I are married.” Since they were at one of the best restaurants in the United States, not just on the cruise, they had to wear the fancy clothes in order to get in. Or at least as fancy as they were able to get.

Rochelle wore a black strapless dress that she packed with her; her hair was tied up into a small bun with two chopsticks holding it up. She didn’t wear makeup though, that was one thing that she didn’t know how to put on herself. Danny wore a suit just like all the other guys at their table wore. They ranged from the color black to the color orange worn by Mike.

“Hey!” Russell chugged down the glass of red wine he had left, “Okay, so exchange your Monthiversary presents.” Just as Danny about to speak up, the rest of the guys agreed, shouting out loudly. Russell clapped his hands, as they cheered for the two of them to exchange gifts. The waiter came up with a frown on his face, and placed a finger on his lips shushing them. “Do it!” Russell whispered loudly, as the waiter walked off.

Sighing, Danny dug through his pockets, taking out a small velvet box. He slid it over towards Rochelle who was sitting across from him. “Okay, so…” He smiled faintly, “I heard from a friend a while ago, that if a girl and a guy were going out, and you know, they weren’t going to get married or anything…” Danny’s voice faded off as he looked away, clearing his throat. The triplets teased Danny as he blushed a little.

“Go on!” Scott punched Robert’s arm and they automatically zipped their lips.

“Well, you know, my friend said that, give the girl a ring, give her a necklace, and have her wear the ring and it’s where the ring is closest to the heart.” He laughed a little, “It’s… really, you know, silly, but…” He laughed a little, scratching the back of his head. He watched Rochelle take the velvet box, opening it slowly. It was a stainless steel ring, nothing too special, but she smiled, taking out the necklace.

“It’s sweet.” She smiled shyly, unhooking the necklace.

“Wait, look inside the ring.” He leaned in slightly. She blinked a few times, taking the ring, reading whatever was written on the inside.

“What does it say?” Mike with his orange suit leaned towards her, trying to get a look.

“It says…” She started quietly as her smile widened further. “It says, ‘Danny and Rochelle, January twenty-seventh, two thousand six’… and there’s more, ‘Always and forever’.” She squealed, laughing.

“Dude, that’s like, the corniest thing you’ve ever done!” Randy laughed, clapping his hands.

“Shut up.” Danny scratched the back of his head once more, not knowing what to do. “It’s nothing special..”

Rochelle slipped the ring through the chain, wrapping it around her neck. She turned towards Mike, telling him to link them together. “It’s good that it’s stainless steal. Our relationship will never rust.” She laughed, holding up the ring. “Thank you, Danny.”

“Okay, Rochelle! Your turn.” Scott nudged her, as she blushed, handing two perfectly wrapped packages to Danny.

“Oh! Two! Danny, you just look cheap now.” Russell leaned back in his seat as he watched Danny open the first one.

“It’s really.. stupid.”

And there it was, two stuffed bears encased in a glass box. They weren’t just two regular stuffed bear, they were bears specially made to look like Danny and Rochelle. Danny had the beige colored bear with blue buttons as eyes and Rochelle was the brown one with green eyes. That wasn’t it though, they had the clothing like them too, and Rochelle had the baggy clothes with an art pad in her hand while Danny had the more up to date clothing and an electric guitar in his hand.

Danny laughed, smiling widely. “This is so fucking awesome.” He carefully lifted up the box, setting it towards the side. Danny gently lifted up the one that looked like him careful to not drop the guitar.

“Oh, press his left hand.” Rochelle pointed out, raising an eyebrow, her face never ceased to stop reddening.

Danny did what she told him to do, and his blue eyes widened hearing his own voice come out of the bear. “Oh, shit! That’s so cool!” He laughed even more as their friends watched in amazement. “What does yours do?”

“Oh, I’m quiet. I don’t do anything.” She grinned, looking away.

“Oh, well, I love it, Rochelle.” He placed the bear back in its place, putting the glass over them once more, and made his way over towards the other present that he didn’t open yet. The one remaining was a flat present, not boxy like the first one. “What’s this?” It was a CD case.

“Open it!”

He carefully opened it and inside instead of seeing a CD it was a piece of paper and words written upon it. He read it out loud to his friends, “Happy Monthiversary, Danny. Hope you’ll love this. My mother knows a man who knows another man, who happened to be a music producer. So, it took me a while, but I did it! I landed you and your band a chance of making it big with him.” His voice grew louder and louder as he continued to read on. The other members of the band leaned in, listening to it intently. “Behind this sheet of paper is a CD.” He took the paper out of its place, seeing a CD cover with the name, ‘Celestial Haven’ written on the top.

“He liked your music. And he said he’d land you the deal…” Rochelle bit her lower lip, “Sorry, if you.. you know don’t like it, but…”

“No!” Danny exclaimed, “That’s fucking awesome!” He laughed, passing it down to his friends.

“It took a whole lot of convincing and a whole lot of time until he agreed to listen. He was glad that he did.” Rochelle pulled a loose strand of hair behind her ears, smiling widely. “He says that your CD will come out in a month. That’s just the prototype. He wants you to come in, you know, to make a better version of all the songs.”

“Ah, shit.” Danny laughed, shaking his head, “My present really does seem cheap compared to this…” He stood up, going over towards his girlfriend, hugging her tightly. “I fucking adore you. I really do!” He kissed her on the cheek, whispering a thank you to her.


Everyone left the restaurant once the meal was paid. They all walked together, laughing loudly, leisurely making their way down towards their deck.

Danny carried the stuffed bears carefully as he glanced over at Russell, raising an eyebrow. His blue-headed friend nodded, and waved to Rochelle, “Good night you two.” The rest of the group bid good-night to the couple, as they made their way towards their room. Danny opened the door, letting Rochelle walk in first. She turned on the light, screaming out suddenly grabbing Danny’s arm.

“Oh my goodness, what the heck?” She looked around the room, blinking several times, hoping that everything she saw was a dream. “These were the toys that I saw today at the mini mall!” Rochelle looked at Danny as he smiled and looked away. “How did you do this?”

“Russell volunteered to help.”

“Danny!” She hugged him tightly, “This is so crazy! You know how expensive those things are?”

“Of course I know! Nothing’s compared to my Rochelle though.” He leaned in, kissing her lips gently. “I’d sell everything I own just to keep you.” He kissed her once more. Danny closed the door, making sure he was to lock it, not wanting another incident. He wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her closely towards him. “You know, I don’t deserve you…” He whispered into her ears as they laid down on the bed.

“Why not?”

“You’re too good for me. I mean, you got me the bears and then you also got my band a label deal, and… You’ve been so great to me.” He hugged her tightly, “I’m never letting you go.” Danny laughed quietly, closing his eyes slowly.

“Mm…” Rochelle smiled, pressing her lips gently against his. “Don’t let me go.”
