This is a story started between Christina, Louise and myself in FB. We were all three talking how we would all have loved to gone on the cruise with Phil, Ryan and Paul ...anyways we started to use our imagination...so let us take you with us.....
Three of us ladies decided we would pull our funds together and head to Miami to jump aboard the cruise of a lifetime...Phil Colter's Cruise.. We arrived at the same time and headed to our hotel . Upon our arrival decided we needed to freshen up and get some dinner. We stroll down the street looking for a nice restaurant . We decided to go to a place called Finnegan's restaurant and pub. We were seated and gave our drink order. What a surprise when the drinks came with lil umbrellas in them ....wow exclaimed Louise, i didn't think i would see this till we were on the ship. Dinner was very lovely and as was the conversation. After dinner we decided to go over to the pub side for a few drinks. Upon walking in Christina trips and falls into a gentleman standing there. Thank goodness for quick reflexes as he catches her. Are you OK lass? he asks.. yes I'm fine says Christina but thank you so much for catching me. All the while Louise and I are about to bust a gut from laughing. Finally i stopped laughing long enough to ask Capt. Coordinated (Christina) if she is ok , only to make her blush further, yes I'm fine and you two can quit laughing so hard. At this point and time another gentleman approaches ...hey Paul what is taking you so long with the drinks?....well Ryan good man i just saved this lass from falling and getting hurt and in the process dropped your drink, sorry man. Ryan signs ..great I'm heading back to the bar to get another one. I speak up oh no i cant let you do that, let me get that for you it was my friends fault. Ryan and Paul look at the three lasses and then Ryan asks, and your names would be? oh I'm sorry , I'm Sarita, this is Louise and you've met Capt'n Coordinated, Christina smacks me ...im Christina she tells them. Ryan speaks up well ladies please have a seat and Paul and I will get the drinks.

The two lads takes our order and leaves for the bar. Us ladies chat among ourselves…..Isn’t that Ryan just fine to look at says Louise. Christina says , well I don’t know anything about that but that Paul fellow sure smelled good he could have kept me in his arms all night. I said , listen to you two , you both act like you are in high school again. Tell them I said, or I will. Needless to say , I got two very disturbing looks from my friends. Hummm , wonder what is taking them so long with the drinks?. You two stay here, I’m going to go and see if they need any help. Upon getting up to the bar, I see the two lads talking to others. I approach them asking hey do you two need help carrying those drinks? Ryan spins around , just about jumped out of his skin. I start laughing, sorry Ryan didn’t mean to scare ya like that. Paul steps in , Sarita , I would like for you to met some of the other lads, this is Neil our guitar player , Keith, Damian and George . I put my hand out to shake theirs, and again got some very funny looks . George speaks up , lass that isn’t the way we do it in Scotland or Ireland and proceeds to put me in a bear hug. It was great, after receiving all their hello’s and hugs we headed back to the table. As we neared the table , Ryan touched one arm and Paul touched the other to stop me. Hey guys , what’s up?…well says Ryan, we didn’t exactly get our hello hugs from you .I look at him with his sly grin , then over to Paul who has his eyebrows moving up and down. Sorry guys as I gave them each a hug. Whew the ladies were right on both counts , Ryan was something to look at and Paul absolutely smelled the best. When arriving at the table , everyone made room for the three of us. We spent the better part of the night talking about anything and everything. Finally it was time to head to the hotel. We said our goodbyes and got another round of hugs. We started walking towards the hotel, noticing that the lads were still behind us. Are you following us ? I turned around and asked, they all look at me with the deer in the head light look , nooooo says Keith I swear we are headed to our hotel. Funny as we were walking to the door we heard footsteps running towards us , all the lads got to the door before us and opened the door for us. Are you lasses staying here also? We all looked so dumbfounded . Damian just kept walking shaking his head saying, this is going to be an interesting night.
Let me know what ya think and I will post more maybe tomorrow

here is the next part enjoy...would love some feed back on it
I tell the lads and ladies I’m beat and heading to bed. George says why so soon the night is young. I tell them I want to get a run in in the morning before we set sail. This bit of information perks Ryan up. So you are a runner? Yea I replied. I give hugs and tell all them goodnight and head for elevator. Ryan runs up “hey Sarita, wait up “. Yea Ryan, what’s up?. What time are you running, I tell him 6 am. Do you mind company, he asks. Sure Ryan see ya at 6. He returns to the group with a sly grin on his face. Keith looks at Ryan and says, mate what are you smiling about? Ryan says I got a “running date” , they all just laugh. They all decided to go hang out by the pool and chat. Paul starts asking Christina questions about her life and such . Neil starts chatting with Louise. The rest of the lads join in the conversation when they can but eventually realize they are pretty much getting ignore and decide to head to their rooms. They all decide to meet up for breakfast and with that they retire to their rooms. The next morning Sarita realizes she didn’t ask Ryan what room he was in, so she wasn’t sure how to find him. Oh well she thinks to herself and heads down to get her run in. As she gets off elevator low and behold there sits Ryan waiting for her. “There for a minute I thought I had missed you” he says. Sarita just laughs and says lets go. They got a nice run in and when returning to hotel , Ryan tells Sarita “I’m impressed you stayed up with me”. Really says Sarita , here I thought you were holding back to let me stay up with you? They both laugh and head to their rooms to get ready for breakfast. Breakfast was full of laughs., and everyone got to know each other better. Before long tho everyone had to get back and get ready to board the ship. In leaving the lads, the ladies tell them “ See ya aboard the boat boys” . Finally, we are aboard the ship and ready to sail. Everyone is very excited to get this adventure started. Louise, Christina and Sarita head to the promenade to check out all the shops. They went shopping for quiet a while. In the mean time the lads are headed to the theater to check on things with Phil. Hello lads, glad to see ya made it ok. Now remember lads you are here for fun and for work, so I don’t want you drinking the night before the show, but other then that have a great time. The lads chuckle and say ok “Dad”. They head out to check the ship out. Along the way they run into several fans and stop to chat and sign things and pose for pictures. Its been a great time, but the lads are starting to get hungry , so they go the pizza joint and grab some pizza. As the lads are eating and people watching Keith sees a familiar face walking their way. As the ladies get closer , chatting to each other not pay attention, Keith sticks his foot out and Christina trips . He catches her quickly, “lass, you really need to watch where you are going”, the lads laugh. Christina recomposes herself and says “ You need to watch where you’re putting your foot”. This gets everyone laughing. So where are you fine ladies heading to? Louise speaks up saying we are going to the top deck to hang out and watch the boat sail out of port. Damian says “SWEET” im going with you. So all the lads decide to go watch the boat depart from the shore. Up on top deck is a bar, so the ladies get the pretty drink of the day and the lads all get their beer, which Keith was like a little boy on Christmas day when he realized they had his favorite. They all toasted to the start of the cruise and watched the ship set sail. They all decided to find a table to sit at and enjoy the sun and breeze. As they were sitting chatting, Damian and Keith noticed a small stage in front of the pool. Hey bartender? You got a band playing here tonight? The bartender, says not at the moment. Keith says do you think they would mind us using their equipment . Sure go ahead the bartender says Damian and Keith grab Neil and head for the stage . By this time a crowd is forming. Damian speaks into the mic and says he would like to play a song him and Keith wrote together. The crowd loved it , and before it was said and done all the lads were up on stage giving a mini performance. It was great times had by all. Finally the actual band that was playing showed up and the lads returned to their table. The band now playing were playing slow rague music , nice for the ears. Paul takes this queue to get up and ask Christina , “ Can I have a dance” Christina just says smiles and says yes. Which in turns prompts Neil into asking Sarita the same thing , Sarita says yes as long as you don’t mind getting your feet stepped on. Neil says “I’ll take my chances….. As they head to the dance floor, Louise is sitting back watching everyone smiling and laughing. Ahumm….Louise? Yes Ryan? Ryan says would you like to dance? At this point Louise isn’t sure what she said or did cause she thought she died and went to heaven. So all were out dancing except Keith , Damian and George. Damian is starting to get bored, the other two are just watching everyone. Man I’m so bored Keith , lets do something else. Keith says , no Damian you have to be patient , there might be someone here for you. At this time they all return from the dance floor. Keith ? Christina says, yes? Keith says, isn’t that Terri from the pub over there? Why yes it is, thank you Christina, ill be right back he says. Hey Terri, says Keith . Terri spins around in shock “KEITH” they hug each other and Keith asks Terri for the next dance . This really starts to depress Damian now. Sarita slights taps George on the shoulder, George turns around and looks at what Sarita is staring at. Oh my thinks George, and gives Sarita a wink, “I’ll be right back” he says. Sarita just smiles and sits down next to Damian . Ryan and Louise go back out for another dance as do Paul and Christina. So whats up little lad Sarita asks Damian. Damian says it seems everyone has someone to dance with except George and I . Oh I don’t know about that one Damo, what do you mean ? he asks . Sarita nods her head in Georges direction and Damian turns around to see George bringing a young lass over . “MEAGAN” Damian screams . “DAMIAN” Megan screams …they hug each other and start talking at the same time…. They laugh at each other and Damian drags Meagan to the dance floor. Sarita , George and Neil just laugh . Guess I’m just the little match maker on this trip Sarita says. George and Neil just look at her. Neil gets up , yes you are but for now you are dancing with me. Sarita gets up and says wait a sec Neil, I’ll be right back . She leaves and heads to the bar , she looks around . Shams?? Sarita??? The two ladies hug each other , it was great to finally meet each other. Hey says Sarita I know a very nice, handsome gentleman that needs a dance partner , would you be interested Shams? Sure why not she says. Sarita drags her back to the table. “SHAMS” “GEORGE” they hug like they are best friends. Now Sarita says “lets ALL hit the dance floor”. They all dance the night away. Before long it gets dark and everyone is getting tired, Paul grabs Christina , would you like to take a stroll in the moonlight ? Absolutely says Christina, they say their goodnights and head out around the ship. Louise may I have the honor of walking you to your cabin ask Ryan. Louise says yes you may and they head out for their walk. Before anyone knows it , Neil and Sarita have started walking away chatting to each other. George and Shams are doing the same as well is Keith and Terri. Damian and Meagan look at each other kinda silently. Damian stands up and takes her hand , walks her out to the dance floor and starts dancing slowly with her to no music, Meagan just sighs and dances with him to the beautiful music in her head.

DAY 2
Sarita got up early the next morning to get a run around the track in before the start of her day. Upon returning to the room the other two ladies were up and getting ready for breakfast. Christina says hey lets go without the lads and just enjoy ourselves. With all in agreement, they head out for breakfast. Meanwhile the lads are sleeping in. Finally Ryan gets up , looks at the clock and realizes he overslept . He jumps up out of bed and gets ready to go for a run, wonder if he would run into Sarita . He thinks shoot I should have set something up with her last night. He hit’s the track, all the while looking around seeing if he sees her, no luck. After showering he and George wake the others up and tells them they are headed out for breakfast. The other lads go back to sleep. The ladies decide to do a little more shopping . Christina picks up a beautiful necklace that will go with her formal wear. Louise picks up a nice shaw that will compliment her formal dress. Sarita is happy with what she brought, until she sees the lil black dress in the window, with a slight glitter in the material , with the silver around the bust line . She falls in love with it and has to have it. Happy with their purchases, they decided since it was a day of cruising the waters , they would hang out at the pool. They go back to their cabin and change , then head to the pool. They decided once down there to sit in chairs facing the pool to watch all the activity going on in the pool.. Meanwhile the lads are finally all up and moving around . Keith and Damian head to the all you eat breakfast bar. Neil and Paul decided to go work out first , then eat. George and Ryan are out and about walking the ship and mingling with the guest . Back at the breakfast bar, Damian and Keith are in heaven , eating anything and everything they can find. Finally stuffed they are sitting there talking about last night. Man , Keith , I really like that Meagan, says Damian . Keith said , I know what you mean, that Terri girl sure has a way about her. They both said at the same time….I wonder what they are doing today?: Keith says ….lets go find them, and off they go. Only to learn that this is a very large ship and trying to find two lasses is not an easy task. They search for over 2 hrs for them ,then realizing they have rehearsals in 20 mins. And the theater is on the other end of the boat. “Oh Nooooooooo “ cries Damian , we are gonna be in big trouble Keith . What are we going to do Keith ? Keith thinks about this for a matter of 2 secs. “Damian lad RUN” They both run as fast as they can to the other side of the boat to make it to rehearsal on time. They fling open the doors , whew says Damian we made it in the nick of time. Keith looks up to see Phil looking at his watch. “Damian lad” I think we are still in trouble…..

The other lads just laugh at the sight of the two running in. Keith with his hair all a mess and both completely out of breath. Ryan walks up behind them and smacks both in the back of the head, “HEY” watch the hair, Keith says. “If you two would run with me you wouldn’t be so out of breath would ya” says Ryan laughing and walking away. Phil says “Enough messing around , we are already behind schedule” as he looks at Keith and Damo. I will deal with you two later. So the lads start rehearsal . Phil makes Damo and Keith do their parts again. He said something is off. The two do several of their parts over and over. Finally it is over as they were walking toward the doors Damo says to Keith., “ Is it just me or did it seem Phil was hard on us today”? Keith agrees and about this time Phil speaks up , Damo, Keith I want you two here an hour earlier tomorrow . They said yes sir and headed to the door. The ladies in the mean time have returned from the pool, so not to get burnt on their first day out . They decide to walk around the ship. They run into Meagan. “Hey Meagan girl” they say, what you doing this morning. Meagan looks down, Ummmm…. I’m actually trying to find Damian , the ladies giggle. Come on we will help you. So off they go trying to find Damian for Meagan. They end up running into Terri. “Hey Terri” what are you doing today. Terri says , “Hey ladies” thinking about going to the theater to check out the lads rehearsal, want to go with me?… All the ladies said “ OF COURSE” and off they went. But they didn’t get very far once they got there for they had the doors blocked off and they couldn’t get in . Bummer they all said. So in chatting , they decided they would all sit by the doors and just try to listen . Now this was a site to see, 4 grown women and 1 lass sitting side by side with their ears pressed to the door. Since they were so intense about listening, they did not pay attention to the fact that Sharon had walked past, and yes she spied them. She just laughed and walked around the corner to the other door and went in. The lads were walking up the isle towards the door. Keith and Damo still grumbling about the extra work they were putting into rehearsal. The ladies on the other side of the door quickly realize the lads are coming out and try to jump up. Unfortunately they were not quick enough for Keith and Damo hit the doors hard swinging them wide open , knocking Meagan and Terri (who was closest to the opening of the doors) on their backs. “OH MY GOD” both lads cry running to them, are you ok? Terri and Meagan are trying to quickly stand and act as if nothing had happened, totally embarrassed about the whole thing. “YES” “YES” we are ok…. The other ladies were also embarrassed for they have been caught in the act… The lads came up putting their arms around their dance partners from last night , saying “Hummmmm” you ladies are so busted” and they all break out belly laughing . At this time Sharon, George and Phil are walking out . Sharon speaks up as she is walking away. “Ladies , the lads have practice tomorrow at noon and you can get in by using the side door” Phil and George chuckle and walk in the direction of Sharon, whose is heading to the Champagne bar.
responses would be greatly appreciated... thanks for the comments ladies

heres the next part ladies should have rest up this evening The ship has finally docked at Half Moon Cay in the Bahamas and the lads and lasses decide to all go together . They all decide to hit the beach . Keith decided he was going to teach Terri to boogie board on the wake. That was great craic to watch, we were all rolling with laughter. The rest of us swam and had chicken fights in the water , which Neil and Sarita won. Finally they all decided to grab something to eat and do some site seeing. They grab a quick lunch , which thanks to Keith and Paul turned into a massive food fight. After cleaning that mess up, Damian and Meagan rented a bicycle for two to site see. Neil and Sarita , Keith and Terri decided to rent 2man scooters for site seeing. Ryan and Louise, Paul and Christina rent golf carts . They all go their separate ways agreeing to meet back at dock at the 5 since the boat is leaving at 7. They all saw such wonderful things site seeing and the day flew by. Ryan, Louise, Paul and Christina arrived back at the dock at 4:45. Terri, Sarita, Neil and Keith arrived at 4:55. They sat waiting for Damian and Meagan. And they waited…. “Damian” says Meagan… I’m not so sure this is the way back to the dock. Damian says he isn’t sure either. So they decide to find the beach to see if they can see the ship to know what direction they needed to go . They found a beach but no ship was in site. This is not good says Damian, with a very worried look on his face. Meagan then suggest riding back the way they came. So off they went. Back at the docks everyone is getting worried . It is now 5:45 and no site of Damo and Meagan. Finally Ryan speaks up “ We are going to be in BIG trouble if those kids don’t make it back in time”. Paul says “ Well I tried to tell you not to let them go off by themselves”. Keith smacks Paul. “This is not the time, Paul”. While Ryan gives him an evil look. The lads start arguing about whether they should go look for them or stay they . They decided it was just best to stay put and hope they showed up. Damian and Meagan kept riding what they thought was forever, both thinking to themselves, hope we find our way back. They ride past a sign that Meagan recognizes. “DAMIAN STOP” . He slams on the brakes. “What Meagan”? Meagan says I remember passing this sign when we rented the bike. We need to go left to return the bike . They get the bike returned and start to head back to the dock. They hear the ship blow its horns. Damian grabs Meagan ‘s hand and tells her to “RUN”. Back at the dock the group hears the horns , it is now 6:45. They start to walk towards the ship looking back every few steps to see if the kids are coming. They get on the ship and just as they are checking back in, Neil turns and screams “ THERE THEY ARE”!!! They all start screaming at Damian and Meagan to run faster. Damian screams back “WE ARE RUNNING AS FAST AS WE CAN” “DON’T LET THAT BOAT LEAVE WITHOUT US”. This of course makes everyone laugh . The last few steps Damian and Meagan jump to get on the ship. The ladies all run to hug Meagan. The lads all run to smack Damian. “No more going off by yourself”!!! Ryan grab Damian’s hand and said “Put this on “ , it was Ryan’s GPS watch , maybe we wont lose you now. They all had a great laugh over that one. It was then time to go and get ready for the formal dinner . Everyone went to their cabins and got ready and agreed to meet in the hall wall of the dining room.

It was then time to go and get ready for the formal dinner . Everyone went to their cabins and got ready and agreed to meet in the hall wall of the dining room. The lads were dressed and ready in no time and for the short time they took they looked mighty fine. They were all 5 decked out in tux’s. Sharon and Phil met the lads in the hall way and said they were going in. George went with them to find their table The ladies however took a bit longer ….the lads were in the hall way wondering what was taking them so long. It didn’t take long for them to find out why www.elegantmart.com/Fashion/FrontZip-Black-Evening-Dress__15451.aspx Sarita www.newyorkdress.com/Maggie_Sottero/P4417.html Christina www.newyorkdress.com/Maggie_Sottero/P2435.html Louise www.elegantmart.com/Fashion/Alluring-Aqua-Evening-Wear-Gown__13704.aspx Terri www.newyorkdress.com/Alyce/35346.html Meagan Needless to say the lads were blown away. Neil approached Sarita, “WOW, you look amazing”, thank you she says. Ryan approached Louise total speechless and just reaches for her hand and pulled her close and kissed her on the cheek. She was the blown away. Paul then went to Christina “YOU ARE MY SLEEPING BEAUTY”. Christina just melts. Keith is just beside him self and thinks of nothing to say but Terri, “YOU HAVE GOT IT LIT”. She says thank you Keith. Damian just keeps staring at Meagan. The lads and lasses start to walk to the dining room. Damian holds Meagan back. I just have to say this “Meagan , you are the most beautiful girl here” and kisses her cheek. Meagan blushes and is just beside herself. They then also walk into the dining room. Dinner was very nice, other then the lads all had a very hard time eating due to the fact they could not keep their eyes off of their diner dates. At the end of dinner they all decided to stroll the ship since they were all dressed to the hilt. Walking the ship they came across the ship photographer. They decided they all wanted pictures. Each couple got their picture taken. Sharon, Phil and George got their picture taken together also. Then the photographer suggested they get one of everyone. They couldn’t wait to see the results. Each couple decided to go their own way. Phil , Sharon and George said good night and they headed to their cabins. Damian and Meagan headed to the front of the ship. The rest of the couples decided to get some drinks and headed to the wine bar. But once there they each went to separate spots in the bar to talk alone with their dates. Once Damian and Meagan got to the front of the ship. They were looking out to sea. Meagan finally spoke and asked Damian, “Have you seen the movie Titanic? He knew exactly what she was thinking and took her by the hand and walked up to the point of the boat . He lifted her up onto the railing with him standing behind her. They stayed their and just let the wind blow over them. It was a night to be remembered by all.

Day 3 Sarita wakes to her alarm the next morning at 6am . She seriously thinks about not running this morning, but knows she will feel better if she does. She gets up and heads out . As she is waiting for the elevator , Ryan walks up ,”I’m glad I caught you” I’ll run with you . Sarita says that’s fine . When they get down to the track Ryan asks “Can we just walk and talk “? Sure says Sarita “What about”? Ryan says “ Louise” . What about her? Asks Sarita. Well Ryan starts by saying he really likes her and would like to know where Louise thinks the relationship is going or where she wants it to go . Sarita tells him, normally I try to stay out of my friends love life but Ryan all I can tell you is she really likes you also and maybe you need to be asking her these questions. He laughs and says “Ok” I was just wanting to know if she said anything to you. Sarita grins , just talk to her Ryan. She really likes you. So they finished up their walk and headed back . As Sarita was leaving to go to the cabin Ryan grabs her and hugs her and says “thanks “ and tell Louise I would like to talk to her today. Sarita says “I will give her the message” . In the meantime Damian and Keith text their lasses to see if they want to go rock climbing on the rock wall. Terri jumps at the chance, however Meagan is not so sure. It took a little coaxing from Damian to get her to at least go and watch. They arrive at the wall, get suited up and Keith and Terri decide to race up the wall. That was a site in itself. Great craic. Damian tells Meagan , see how they are doing it , love you are safe and I will be right beside you. Meagan agrees to try it. They start up the wall, and Meagan is very nervous about it. They go very slowly. In the mean time Keith and Terri have gone to the top and back down . They decide to go again .Keith goes up on the other side of Meagan and as he is zipping past her says to her” Keep her lit Meagan” which really scared Meagan because she didn’t see him coming up behind her…. She froze!!! Damian had to come over to her and try to calm her down .She couldn’t move, not up , not down . Damian tells her Meagan, just let go. Your rope will hold you and they will slowly bring you down. Meagan can not let go of the wall , she is stiff. Now in the mean time , Paul and Christina, Neil and Sarita, Ryan and Louise have shown up at the rock to watch them climb. Sarita says “Man , that looks like fun and grabs Neil and they go and geared up. Along with Ryan and Louise. Paul and Christina decided to just sit and watch the fun. As they start up the wall, Damian calls for them to come over where they are . No one has realized that Meagan will not move. They all get around her and Damian . Damian tells them what happen and of course Neil and Ryan start yelling at Keith for scaring Meagan . Keith says I didn’t realize I scared her .”I’m so sorry Meagan.”. Meagan still says nothing and will not move or let go. Finally the lads decide that Damian will hold on to Meagan , Ryan will be on one side of her, and Neil on the other side of her . Damian says to Meagan , let go love, I have a hold of you. She won’t do it. Finally Damian wraps his arms around her and puts his hands on hers and pulled them off the rock . He turns Meagan around and puts her arms around his neck and tells her to wrap her legs around him. Meagan did not have to be told twice . She wrapped herself around Damian for dear life. They finally got her to the ground and unhooked. Keith tries to approach Meagan to hug her and apologize . Damian pushes Keith away. “You idiot” He screams at Keith. Ryan rushes and grabs Damian , settle down Damo , it was an accident. Neil it the meantime rushes Keith, mate just let it go, he tells Keith . All the ladies just stand there in shock. Paul approaches . Damian he says “look it was not don’t on purpose to scare Meagan, Keith didn’t know she was that afraid and Keith has said he is sorry”. Damian holding on to Meagan spins around and looks at Keith . “Fine” he says, but gets in Keith’s face and says “you ever scare my girlfriend like that again , you will pay”. Keith says he understands. Meagan stands there thinking . Did I hear him right ? Girlfriend? His Girlfriend? The ladies all hug Meagan and tells her congratulations .She is shocked. Damian turns to her and says “yes” Meagan will you be my girlfriend? Meagan jumps in his arms and give him a kiss . They all laugh .Paul says “I think we can take that as a yes then. Ryan steps up and clears his throat . Neil turns to him. Mate you got something to say? Well yes I do says Ryan. I also have spoken with Louise and asked her if she would be my girlfriend , they all look at Louise . She grins and the ladies run and hugs her too. Everyone is laughing and are so happy. Paul and Christina are standing there and they both look at each other. Well says Paul “If you cant beat them I say join them. “Christina will you be my girlfriend”? She just nods her head . Neil just looks at Sarita and says Will you, Sarita just says yep before he finishes his question. They all laugh and hug. They all turn to Keith and Terri. They look at everyone and both say at the same time “What”? Ryan just shakes his head ,grabs Louise’s hand and said lets go I’m starving” , the other couples soon follow. With each of the lads passing Keith and smacking him . Neil walks past Keith , smacks him on the shoulder .”Mate, you really are thick sometimes”. This leaves Keith standing there with Terri. Sooooo says Keith , Terri grins “yes Keith “? Hoping that he is getting ready to ask her to be his girlfriend . “You wanna race up the wall again”? Terri is not happy, this was NOT the question she was expecting. Sure Keith she says less amused then before. They gear up and tear up the wall. They both get to the top at the same time. They are laughing at each other, “Come here you, “ as Keith grabs Terri in his arms. Love he says, I like doing things my way, so now that I have you to myself and at the top of this rock. “Will you be my girlfriend”? Terri looks at Keith , tilts her head and says “UM, let me think on it Keiffers, and quickly starts to go down the rock. Keith is floored and starts going after her. The closer Keith gets to her , he sees her laughing . Oh ok I see how she is going to be . They finally get to the bottom get unhooked and Terri walks over to Keith, Grabs him and says , I like to do things my way “ and yes I will be your girlfriend. Keith just laughs , wraps his arms around her kisses her and says “ I guess I got a mini me in you”. Terri says “you have NO idea. They head off to catch up with everyone , to tell them the great news. They found all of them at the buffet, and joined them. They are thrilled with the news. Sharon, Phil and George walk up , Hey whats with all the hugs and where are mine says George , all the ladies run to George and tackle him with hugs. They all tell them the good news . Sharon is thrilled. Well I guess I need to get these ladies set up with family seating for tonights concert . They all finish breakfast and the ladies go with Sharon to get their ids and passes taken care of . The lads decide to go to t he sports bar and see if there is a game of football on. They are all sitting around when suddenly Paul thinks of something. Oh Ryan says Paul. Yes asks Ryan. Well Paul says we all know how each of us asked our ladies to be our girlfriend. How did you ask Louise/? Ryan just sighs and shakes his head , Man I knew of all people , Paul was not going to let this go. Well you see says Ryan

I was running for the elevator to go up and talk to Louise and as the elevator open she walked out and we ran into each other and fell to the ground . While we were on the ground and asking each other if they were ok? I just went for it and kissed her. Then I said to her “Louise since I am laying on top of you and just kissed you would you be my girlfriend? She rolled me over and said Now that I’m on top of you , yes I will be your girlfriend and with that they kissed again. Paul speaks up and says “SMOOTH Ryan real smooth” Ryan punches Paul in the arm. The worst part of it all was while we were kissing on the floor we kinda forgot where we were and the elevator opened and out walked Sharon, Phil and George. Needless to say they were very shocked and we were very embarrassed. It didn’t help as they were walking by Sharon yells loud enough for all to hear “Ryan get a room” . I wanted to die, as well as Louise did. By now all the lads are busting a gut from laughing at Ryan and his so smooth tactics. Ryan just puts his head in his hands and says “I’m NEVER gonna live this one down. Keith smacks Ryan’s shoulder and says “Nope mate not ANY time soon.” Meanwhile the ladies have gotten all their passes taken care of and meet back up with the lads. Louise finds out that the lads knew how Ryan had asked her and she about died of embarrassment all over again. George comes and gives her a hug “Oh lass don’t worry at least he asked ya” . With that she smiled. They all head back to get ready for the concert. The ladies are all sitting front row. When ever the lads had a solo their eyes were only on their lass. They all forgot about the rest of the audience . They all had a great time . Since this was a cruise there would be no M&G’s so the lads were free after the concert. They all went back and changed into swim wear and headed for the pool . It was a fantastic time for all. Games of water volleyball. Dancing to the house band playing and a lot of drinking. George was heading to the bar and around the corner comes Sharon with a dark headed lass. “George she says “ , look who I found. George looks up and his mouth drops “ Bethany” George cries I haven’t seen you since you were a wee little girl,. George grabs her and puts her in a big bear hug. Uncle George says Bethany , it is great to see you again. George takes Bethany to meet the lads and lasses. Everyone this is Bethany my god daughter.. They all exchanges hi’s and hugs. They ask her to hang around with them and she accepts. George ask her what she has been up to . She says she is getting ready to start college and this was a get away for her before she started. He asked if she was by herself on the cruise and she said yes . The lads then spoke up and said “Not now your not “ you are hanging with us. Bethany was thrilled as was George. Before long it was time to say goodnight for they all wanted a good nights sleep because they would be in Aruba in the morning . All the lads walked their lasses to their cabins and kissed them goodnight. George walked Bethany to hers and set up a time and place for them to meet to go aboard. The next morning was busy. They all decided to grab a quick breakfast they head ashore. And as soon as they got ashore Damian says “Hey “ Meagan and I are going to go run around and as he grabbed Meagan’s hand to walk away, George and Ryan both grab him by the back of his shirt .”Oh no your not “ they said at the same time.. Everyone laughed. George says you two are staying with Bethany and I. They all then went their separate ways .George got a golf cart to rent and told Damian and Meagan , you are in back . Damian was not looking too pleased with this arrangement and started to argue with George about how he wasn’t a child anymore. George just gave him “THE LOOK” Damian understood and got in back with Meagan. They all went all over looking at historical sites and shopped in the shops . It was fun for everyone and soon they all headed back to the boat to get ready for dinner. As they approached the boat . Paul speaks up ..Well I see Damian and Meagan didn’t get lost this time. Good job George. Damian just walked by and said to Paul .”Shut it would ya” im not a child. George wraps his arm around Damian’s neck .Lad you will always be a child to me .All laughed and went to get ready for dinner. Dinner tonight was at the buffet since everyone was very hungry. It all started out well. That was until Keith got bored and Paul got pie. The next thing anyone knew a food fight had started. Needless to say no one came out of the buffet with out food on them . George just takes Bethany’s hand as they walk out and says I cant take them anywhere in public. Bethany just laughed. It was great craic, even if the waiters were not amused. They all said their good nights as they were all extremely tired. They would be arriving in Curacao in the morning . In the morning, Ryan wakes to go running before getting off the ship. He text Sarita to see if she is running too. She said yep be at track in 5 mins. They decide they will walk again instead of running. Ryan asks Sarita how things are going with Neil. She said fine. Ryan looks at her ,Just fine? She then says there just seems to be something about him Ryan , like he is hiding something from me. Ryan then tells her, take your own advice Sarita . Talk to him . He will tell you. Sarita says. Why don’t you just tell me. Ryan chuckles , um I try not to butt into my mates love lives lass. Sarita laughs at this and smacks Ryan . Whatever she says and they head back to meet up with the rest to go aboard. They have booked an excursion to go snorkeling . This is right up Keith’s alley, so he helps everyone get started . Damian and Meagan find out that it is hard to hold hands and snorkel at the same time but other then that they all have a blast. After snorkeling they decide to site see and get some lunch. They eat at the Hard Rock Café. No food fighting in here says George as they walk in. Keith and Paul just laugh. Lunch goes by quickly , and with out a food fight. When leaving the restaurant the lads say they are going off on their own . The lasses say ok and decide they are going shopping. The ladies found several things to buy. They each bought a few sun dresses and some shoes , purses and jewelry . When they met back up with the lads they all notice that each of them have bags also. Paul has the most of course. Christina ask Paul ,did you buy the store out love, he just laughs. Louise sees that Ryan has several bags also and asked him the same thing. “No says Ryan , most of these are Paul’s , he couldn’t carry them all. They just all laugh . Christina looks at Paul and just shakes her head. Paul just grins a sheepy grin and says sorry love I just couldn’t decide on what to buy so I bought everything I liked. She just laughs at him and helps him carry some of the packages. They head back to the ship to get ready for a night of fun. The plan was to just sit by the pool for the evening, but the lads had another plan that the lasses knew nothing about. They were in for a surprise……

The ladies are in their cabin when Christina gets a text from Paul. “Hey love, tell all the ladies to dress casual but nice , change of plans. cya” She informs the ladies of the changes and as each of them get dressed they are all wondering what is going on. They all decided to wear one of the new sun dresses they bought along with the shoes and jewelry. They are to meet the lads at the elevator in 2 hrs. They arrive at the elevators just as the lads show up. They are dressed nicely also. So what’s up? Asks Terri. Keith comes and whispers in her ear , you have to wait and see. The lads then escort their girlfriends to the solarium ( adults pool on a cruise ship) when they walk around the corner each of the ladies mouth just drops. They can not believe what the lads have done . In the solarium there is no one. It has been set up like a dining room with tables, and candle light. They are met by a waiter. He says he will escort each couple to their table. He takes Meagan and Damian first. They are sat down near the outer edge of the pool. He then places Terri and Keith near the front of the pool. Ryan and Louise are placed in front of the bar . Christina and Paul are set by the rail of the ship. Neil and Sarita are placed by the fountain. George and Bethany are placed in the middle. The ladies all look around and realize that they are all seated away from each other so they can all have a romantic dinner with their dates. George and Bethany were placed in the middle so they could watch all that was going on. Each couple order their meals and drinks. Dinner turned out to be very nice and romantic. Off to the side the ladies noticed band equipment . They guessed right a band was coming in to play for them. This apparently was the guys cue. For each of them presented each of their lasses with a present. The ladies were shocked. They each opened them to find a claddagh ring. George started first, Bethany you are my god daughter and I never want to lose touch with you again, please wear this and always think of me being a phone call away. Bethany cried and said yes I will wear it George and always think of you. They then gave each other a hug, and head to the dance floor for a dance. Keith then has Terri open hers. Terri immediately starts to cry . Keith says to her , Will you wear this ring as a token of my love for you and all the great craic we have had together? Terri just smiles and says to Keith, “Yes, I will keep er lit for ya kieffers” they kiss. Keith then takes her by the hand and heads to the dance floor. Damian says to Meagan . This ring is a show of my love for you will you wear it always ? Meagan is crying so hard she cant speak so she just nods her head Yes. They hug and kiss and Damian leads her to the dance floor. Christina Paul says. I looked long and hard to find you the perfect gift to show you all my love, will you wear my ring? She said absolutely I will. They then head to the dance floor. Ryan hands Louise her gift all the while thinking to himself , please god let her say yes , please. Louise opens her gift and just smiles. Ryan says to her, as soon as I saw this ring I knew I had to get it for you. I don’t know where this relationship is heading Louise , all I know is I want to be with you and hope that you feel the same way. Louise just leans in , puts her finger to his lips and says , Ryan I would wear this ring with honor, now shut up and kiss me. He does, they laugh and then head to the dance floor. Neil turns to Sarita , I know that things may get hard in this relationship Sarita but I feel we can overcome them if we are together, will you give me the honor of wearing my ring? She turns her head away for a moment , then turns back to Neil as she stands up. She takes her purse and sets the ring down. I’m so sorry, Neil. But I cant and with that she runs out of the pool area. Neil is shocked and cant even move to go after her. So he just slowly walks out and decides to take a walk and try to figure out just what happened. Meanwhile the rest are enjoying the evening dancing the night away. They dance and talk all night till the sun starts to rise. They have been told they will be opening the solarium in half an hour to the rest of the passengers‘. With this they all start to walk back to their cabins. On the way, Paul mentions , I wonder what happened to Sarita and Neil. Everyone said they didn’t notice them leave and that they probably just wanted time away. The lads all say yea they are probable having the time of their life on their own. The ladies are not so sure about this , and Ryan definitely knows something is wrong but decided to keep this to himself . He didn’t want to ruin everyone’s mood nor wanted the feelings everyone was having from the night to end. The lads take the lasses back to their cabins so they can get some sleep . All agreeing to just text each other when they get up , since the next day was a day at sea they had all decided to just make it a lazy day . The lads all head back to their cabins. Ryan waits in the hall till all the lads are inside of their rooms then he goes down to Neil’s cabin and knocks on his door. He hears someone heading for the door . The door opens and Ryan is shocked by who answered it…….

ZARA!!! What are you doing here? Says Ryan. Well says Zara, I decided you lads cant have all the fun so I flew to the Bahamas’ and got on the ship. Better yet what are you doing in Neil’s room …”NEVERMIND” says Ryan and he turns around and starts walking away. Zara hollers’ for Ryan to wait . He keeps walking away. Zara screams “It not what you think it is Ryan” Ryan just says whatever and keeps walking, thinking to himself . Sarita has to be found, this is not going to go over well. Ryan goes for a walk and thinks about how he is going to tell Sarita he found Zara in Neil’s room. Ryan finally decides “NO Neil needs to find Sarita and tell her everything” and with that Ryan goes looking for Neil. …..In the meantime Sarita is walking the ship thinking to herself. I really should find Neil and try to talk to him, after what I did to him at dinner wasn’t right nor fair to him. I need to find out what it is he is keeping from me. Sarita starts to head to look for Neil and decides the best place to start would be at his cabin. ......She returns to Neils cabin and knocks on the door.....The door opens.......
DUN.....DUN.....DUN.....DUN....Sorry its so short but had to improvise on this ...lol...leave feedback if you want

Sarita’s mouth drops. Now I know she thought as she turned and ran away… She went to her cabin and threw herself on her bed . I knew something was up . I knew I would get my heartbroken . She cried herself to sleep. Ryan was looking for Neil and decided to look in the bar by the pool. That is where he found Neil. “Neil” Ryan says. “What do you think you are doing/” “ Ryan, what are you talking about?” “ How could you do this to Sarita/” Ryan wasn’t going to hear any excuses from Neil and just said “You better tell Sarita before I do” and starts to walk away. Neil jumps off his barstool and grabs Ryan. “What are you talking about?” “What is going on/” Ryan turns around “oh like you don’t know mate” “NO I DON’T KNOW”. Ryan says “You and Zara Neil” “how could you” and starts walking away again. Neil grabs Ryan again “Wait one second mate”. Ryan says no I know what you are doing and you better tell Sarita. Neil starts to laugh . Ryan is so NOT amused, turns around and glares at Neil.. Neil says wait a minute , you think there is something going on between Zara and I? Yea I do says Ryan, beings how she is up in your cabin right now. Neil now is doubling over in laughter . Mate, she is in my cabin because the ship doesn’t have her room yet? Some passengers are getting off at the Panama Canal and she is getting one of their rooms. She is just hanging out in my room till it is ready. With this news Ryan starts to feel really stupid not only for the fact he jumped to conclusions but because of what he said to Zara and Neil. Neil, mate im sorry I just figured when Zara opened you door , I assumed. Neil stops him . Well says Neil don’t assume anything again , just ask me. They get a laugh out of the whole thing. But back at Sarita’s cabin things are not so great…

The next morning the ship has arrived at the front of the Panama Canal at Cristobal. The ladies try to get Sarita out of bed to go watch the sites down the canal. She tells them she was up late and just wants to sleep in for a bit . The ladies go on with out her. They meet up with the lads to see the sites. They all were very surprised to see Zara and hugs everyone. Ryan then asks “Where is Sarita/” The ladies tell them that she wanted to sleep in. Neil says I’m going to go check on her. Zara speaks up and says “No Neil let me go “ . So Zara goes to Sarita’s cabin and knocks. There is no answer, so she returns to the lads and lasses. Neil says to Zara “You didn’t bring her with you/” Zara tells them she got no answer. Zara pulls Neil and Ryan to the side and tells them about Sarita going to Neil’s cabin and what happened. So not getting an answer at the door really worried the three of them. Neil decides that he is now going to go check on her and heads to her cabin. He knocks …no answer…. He says her name , no response… He walks back to the group and tells Zara and Ryan that he had no better luck. Ryan grabs Louise and asks her to go and check on her. She goes up and goes into the cabin to be put into complete shock…… Louise runs back down to the group …”RYAN, NEIL” “ What is going on?” Sarita is not there and all her things are gone. All the lads and lasses now want to know what is going on. Ryan, Neil and Zara tell them everything. Well says George , right now we need to find the lass and I got a feeling she is trying to get off this boat . They all start running towards the port side of the boat…..when they get over to that side of the boat, they see……

Sarita leaving the boat with her suitcases in tow. Neil starts after her but George stops him. He says to Neil, let me talk to her. With that George starts after Sarita . He catches up to her and grabs her arm and says to her .Lass you really don’t want to do this. Sarita turns and tells George. I have to do this George, I can not bear to get my heartbroken any more. I am flying home tonight. George says, well if that is the way you feel Sarita ,then I wont stop you .But I will say this to you, to be in all fairness don’t you think you should give Neil and Zara the benefit of a doubt and at least hear them out. Hear their side of the story , cause lass I got to tell you . You have it all wrong. Sarita then turns back to George and asks what do you mean I have it all wrong. I know what I saw George. George says back , you saw wrong Sarita, you saw wrong ,Come back to the ship and let them explain. Please. Sarita gives in and says fine but if she still wants to go home she will leave at the next port. George just smiles and gives her a bear hug, and whispers in her ear. You wont want to go home , I promise you that. George then takes Sarita’s luggage and they start to walk back to the ship. When Neil and Zara saw that Sarita was coming back they were very happy. Neil wanted to run to her. Zara stopped him and said , give her time and give her space. Let me talk to her first, ok? Neil says ok but tell her I really want to talk to her tonight . I will says Zara. With that Ryan speaks up and says hey lets all give these two ladies some space, and they all walked away before Sarita came back on the boat. When she got there George said ill take your luggage up to your cabin, you stay here and talk to Zara. Thanks George she says. Zara says lets go find a private place to talk Sarita. They end up on the top deck and find a spot away from everyone. Sarita, will you give me the chance to explain? Sure she says. Zara then explains everything to Sarita. Sarita feels very silly at first . Then she starts to think about it , and says to Zara . What I don’t understand is Neil acted like he was hiding something from me before this all happened and I want to know what it is. Zara says , Sarita you will have to ask Neil about that . I told you what I know. Sarita stands up , Zara can you ever forgive me for thinking the worst of you ? Zara just hugs her and says don’t worry about it , it will all work out. Now you need to go find your lad and tell him to get his head on straight. They both laugh at this and head back towards the cabins. As Sarita is heading toward Neil’s cabin , she runs into Ryan . Ryan has a worried look on his face .Sarita, are you ok ? Hey Ryan, she says , I’m not sure yet , but I will know here in a few. Have you seen Neil? Ryan just smiles cause he figures since Sarita is looking for Neil, she wont be leaving the cruise. Last time I saw him he was at the bar by the pool Sarita. Sarita hugs Ryan , saying thanks and tells him he is a good friend to Neil. Ryan says back , and to you too with a smirk on his face. This makes both of them laugh. She heads to the pool, Ryan is going in search of Louise, and the rest of the group. Sarita finds Neil at the bar and sneaks up behind him and puts her hands over his face. He spins too fast for her and he grabs her and gives her the biggest hug he can give. He tells her, Im so glad you came back. Sarita says Neil we need to talk. Neil said yes we do , there is something I need to tell you. Sarita does not like the sound of this at all. They go to a table in the corner to talk. Neil starts by saying I should have told you this sooner but……

I have never been able to keep a strong relationship. When things start to get serious I start to bail, and I just wasn’t sure I wanted to put you thru all that , so I guess what I am trying to tell you is., I fell for you the minute I saw you and it scared me to death. I have never felt this way about anyone before and I guess I should have explained that to you from the beginning. Then when all the lads got rings for the lasses, I thought to my self that I can do this, I can make this commitment but by that time you already knew something wasn’t right . I guess I am just afraid of the unknown as much as you are. Sarita says she can totally understand where he is coming from, but tells Neil. We can both do this together but from now on you have to tell me these things . Neil just lets out his breath with a sigh , cause deep down he was afraid she was going to bolt again. They hug and then kiss. He then reaches into his pocket and pulls out the ring box. As he takes the ring out of the box , he asks Sarita , will you give me the honor of wearing my ring? Sarita said Yes Neil I will. They hug and kiss some more. As they are coming up for air , Sarita notices out of the corner of her hey, Louise, Christina, Meagan, Terri, Zara and Bethany peeking around the corner. Sarita just starts laughing. Neil ask her what are you laughing at? Sarita tells Neil to turn around , at this point all the ladies and the lads are running to Neil and Sarita , giving hugs to them for making it all work out. Now says Zara , I want to go into port and shop. Lets all go and they all head into Puerto Limon, Costa Rica. They are all so happy, until Paul mentions to everyone , ohhhhhh this is the chance we will have to shop. We will be at sea for the next two days till we get back to Florida. They all say it at the same time to Paul…”RUN FORREST RUN” , and they all craic up laughing. Paul plays along grabbing Christina’s hand telling her “If I have to run so do you “they start running while everyone else just laughs at them. The rest of the day was great craic, and they all returned to the ship tired but very happy . Christina tells the ladies as they are heading back to the cabins, I think it is a good thing Paul cant shop anymore. She isn’t sure how he is going to get it all off the ship. They all laugh and get ready for dinner.
