but the grin came back, “Ok, I’ll give up my chance with a hot guy so that you can have your fun,” She took a breath as if it was hard to let them go.
Anetta just looked at her, “You know you’re such a drama queen?”
Rinzy smiled, “I know and I love it.”
Anetta got up and put her shorts over the pink and blue bikini she wore.
Rinzy was already dressed in a tank top over her green bikini and a pair of shorts to match.
They got up, Rinzy grabbed the key and Anetta put her stuff in the closet.
Then they both headed out the door.
Once out the door they began they’re search for the hottest guy.
Anetta thought that Rinzy already had her perfect man in her mind so she figured she’d be the only one pointing them out. When they got to the deck, she found out she was very wrong.
Rinzy spotted five of them in the first ten minutes of the search.
Then when they were sitting in chairs watching all the people swim and playing they’re game, a shadow fell over Rinzy.
She lifted her head to see Lucas standing there. He had his signature smile he always wore.
She smiled, “Hi, Haven’t seen you in a couple days.”
He just kept smiling, “Had to leave for a bit but got on when you landed Cicely.”
She just nodded, “So what are you up to?” she asked noticing that he was alone for the first time.
He shrugged, “Don’t know. I’ve been so bored for the last few days. Visiting boring family, and getting ignored when we ended up at my friends’ parents’ summer home.” He lied smoothly.
He couldn’t get Oliver’s words out of his mind. ‘I know trust you with my most prized possession.’ And he couldn’t get over the fact that Oliver was more than happy to have his daughter followed around by a vampire. The fact that just a couple months before he had faked his and his wife’s death, to keep the secret from they’re daughters was unbelievable. Lucas wondered how they could have ever left the two girls standing in front of him.
“So what have you two been up too?” he asked.
They exchanged glances, “We went shopping. I must have spent a fourth of the money that we brung with us.”
He just smiled.
Rinzy looked at Anetta, “Weren’t you going to get something to eat?”
Anetta nodded when she understood the subtle ‘get lost’ in the sentence.
“Yeah, I’m starving. See you around Lucas.” She said before she walked off.
Rinzy turned back to Lucas, “So do you want to take a walk around the deck with me?”
Lucas’s grin widened, “Sure. Let’s go.” He said taking her hand and leading her forward.

“Ugh!, I can’t believe Oliver doesn’t care!” Navaeh said to Zuzanna as they watched Lucas walk away with Rinzy.
Zuzanna nodded, “Well he knows what is going to probably happen.”
Navaeh sighed, “Yeah, and then he won’t have to worry about hiding from his own daughters anymore. I know I saw his face when he said it.”
Zuzanna turned and looked at Navaeh, “He misses them. Haven’t you heard him talk to his wife? The littlest of things remind him of them. Both Oliver and Pheobe will be a lot happier when they have their daughters back.”
Naveah just nodded, “Yeah, I know. I’m just worrying over how they will react.”
Zuzanna’s eyebrow rose, “React about what?”
“That they’re parents are alive, that vampires exist? I don’t know pick one there are a lot to choose from!” Navaeh said.
“Lets just hope that they take it well.” Zuzanna said.
“You know we get to Madrid in only five days right?” Navaeh asked.
Zuzanna nodded, “Lucas has to get her and her sister to come with him, That may be harder than you think.”
Navaeh looked at her, “I don’t think so. Rinzy is already falling in love with him. Chances are she’ll be more than happy to go.”
“I wonder what the sister will say….”
Navaeh turned to see Lucas and Rinzy walking toward them, smiling and laughing.
Lucas turned to Navaeh before they passed by, “Hey, the captain said that we’re ahead of schedule we get to stay out at sea another day. Apparently we’ve been going too fast and there are two ships behind us, who are supposed to be in front of us. So we have to slow down and let them pass.” Then he turned and smiled back at Rinzy.
Navaeh sighed, “So we get to be out at sea an extra day?”
Lucas nodded, “Tonight I’m going to eat with Rinzy tonight, ok?”
He turned his head, and was looking straight into Navaeh’s eyes.
Navaeh sighed, “Yeah, its ok. We were planning on eating in anyway.”
Lucas nodded and looked back at Rinzy, “You want to go swimming?”
Rinzy smiled and looked down at herself, “Um, I have to go back and change.”
“Ok, go I’ll wait for you here.” He nodded and watched her until she disappeared in the elevator.
He turned back, and before he could say a word Navaeh cut him off.
“So what is your plan to get her to go to Madrid with us?”
Lucas sighed, “I’m working on it. As of now I’m gonna wait until the last day and then ask her and her sister to come with us. That’s all I got.”
Zuzanna nodded, “That may work, but what if she says no?”
“Come on as if she’d say no. She’s been staring at him all the time and it’s as if she knows what’s going on.”
Zuzanna grimaced, “If she knows then I’m surprised she’s not scared…”
Navaeh sighed, “If she’s anything like her mom or dad then she’s not scared of anything.”
Zuzanna sighed, “Your right and I hope this is the right thing to do…”
They both stared out over the horizon and waited til sunset.

“That was so fun!” Rinzy told Lucas as they walked back to their cabins.
Lucas nodded as he grinned, “Glad you had fun.”
“I never knew we could do all that on a liner!”
Lucas smiled, “’You can do any thing you want’”
Rinzy laughed as he quoted the slogan for the liners.
“So what are we gonna do tomorrow?” Rinzy asked as they approached her door.
Lucas’s grin vanished, “Tomorrow we get to Madrid.”
Rinzy stopped laughing too. “The cruise is over already? It feels as if we just got on.”
“Time flies when your having fun.” He said solemnly, he looked as if he was as sad as she for having to leave so soon.
Lucas looked back at her, “I wanna ask you something. It’s a little outrageous, but I really want you to come with me to Madrid to meet….the rest of my family.”
Rinzy’s eyes widened, “What about Anetta? I can’t just leave-“
“She can come too. There is plenty of room at my family’s summer home.”
Lucas cut her off smoothly.
Rinzy nodded, “I’ll have to ask her but I don’t see why not.”
Lucas grinned, “I can’t wait. The only thing you’ll have to look out for is Navaeh. She tends to get a little tense and doesn’t make friends easily.”
Rinzy nodded, “That’s okay, that’s how Anetta is. It takes awhile for her to get used to you.”
Lucas nodded, “yea, It’ll take awhile to like you but when she comes around…..”
Rinzy laughed at his martyred expression.
“So what are we doing tonight?” Rinzy asked eagerly.
Lucas thought for a minute, “I think tonight you should talk to your sister and see that she’s ok with what’s going on. Then tomorrow, if everything goes right, we’ll be together in Madrid.”
“Ok…..Can I ask you for something?”
Lucas cocked his head, “Depends on what it is that you want to ask for..”
She smiled, “It’s not much but I’m dying to know…”
He smiled, she was getting closer with every word, he had a good idea what the question was.
Rinzy looked up at him, “I was wondering if-“
She was cut off as Lucas grabbed her and his mouth covered hers.
Rinzy couldn’t believe it. This was kissing she’d never had before. The way his lips formed on hers, and how his lips were cold and felt like they would freeze her skin, was a whole new experience for her. She wanted to stay there kissing him for the rest of the night, when suddenly it was done. He’d stepped back and was smiling. His normally ice blue eyes were darker than she’d ever seen them, he’s also taken a step back, and she wondered why his fists were tight and bunched against his back. His face was the opposite of his body. His body was tense, but his face was peaceful and he had a smug smile on his lips.
Lucas smiled down at her, “Is that what you wanted?”
Rinzy shyly smiled back, “Yea, WOW…. I don’t have the words to describe that…”
Lucas nodded then stepped toward her and brushed his lips over hers.
“Good night. Hope to see you in the morning.” He said before walking to the end of the hall and disappearing into the elevator.
RInzy stood there for a few minutes then walked into the room. She was hungry all of a sudden.
Anetta was sitting on the bed with a plate of fetticini alfredo in her lap, watching the small TV on the table at the end of the bed.
She eyed Rinzy as she came in and what were you just up to?”
Rinzy blushed, “What do you mean?”
Anetta rolled her eyes, “You’re blushing and you have that glazed look in your eyes that you only get when you do something reckless……..”
Rinzy just grinned again and looked toward the little window of the cabin.
Meanwhile, Anetta was thinking about her sister, the signs, the foggy eyes, the dreamy smile, the excited look she’d had when she’d walked into the room……….
Anetta gasped,but Rinzy didn’t notice. Rinzy was too deep in thought of what her and Lucas would do tomorrow…….
“Rinzy?”
Rinzy turned, “Yea? What?” she said as she saw the smile on Anetta’s face.
“Were you just out there with….what did you call him….the God?”
Rinzy’s grin widened, “How’d you know?”
Anetta laughed, “That look. You only look like that when your either excited to do something or you meet a guy.”
Rinzy smiled, “Well then, I actually met Lucas and he walked me back, and while we were talking he kissed me……” Rinzy looked down blushing deep red.
Anetta’s eyes widened. “What?! You never kiss guys not even when you were going out with them!”
Rinzy’s blush deepened, “I know, and tomorrow he wants to walk around Madrid, show his favorite places.”
Anetta’s eyes looked as if they were about to pop out of her head.
Rinzy laughed, “You look like a fish. Netta relax.”
Anetta blinked, “Ok, so what did you tell him? Are you going with him tomorrow to Madrid?”
Rinzy looked down at her hands, “Okay I lied WE’RE going with him to Madrid.”
As soon as the sentence was out, Rinzy squished her eyes closed and braced for her sisters wrath.
Surprisingly, Anetta was calm and smiling.
Rinzy opened one eyed and looked, wearily, at Anetta.
She raised her eyebrow at the speculative look on her face.
“Why aren’t you yelling at me???” Rinzy asked when she couldn’t stand the silence anymore.
Anetta just smiled, “I’m not yelling because I’m not surprised.”
This time Rinzy raised a brow. “Huh? Would you mind explaining that?”
Anetta chuckled, “You two have been together every minute for the last week, I knew SOMETHING was bound to happen.”
Rinzy just smiled, “The only bad thing is that,
