Carter and I have spent the last two nights together. I only venture into my room to gather clothing when I know Caitlyn and Jessica are out.

I guess you could say I’m avoiding them.

Not that it bothers me. They’re not supportive of my new relationship, and this extra time with Carter has given us time to get to know each other.

Yesterday, we went diving again when we were at our last stop, another beautiful Caribbean island. This time, we brought underwater cameras with us to capture the trip. They were just those dinky ones you buy from the cruise gift shop – basically a wind-up camera wrapped in plastic – but they worked okay. I can’t wait to see how the photos come out.

We have today and tomorrow at sea, and then we’re back at the dock in Miami. And Carter will continue on to wherever he goes next, while I return to my landlocked desk at an accounting firm.

“I have some work to do today,” Carter says. We woke up and had breakfast, and an early dessert, about an hour ago. Since then, we’ve stayed in bed clinging to each other’s nude bodies. “Will you be okay on your own?”

“Yeah. I’ll probably go for a swim. Maybe get a tan.”

He kisses my shoulder. “Sounds good. Meet up for lunch?”

“I’d love that.”

“Excellent.” He climbs out of bed, leaving me feeling cold even though it’s pushing a hundred outside. “I’ll meet you at the buffet at noon?”

“See you then.”

Carter dresses and heads to his onboard office. I take longer to get dressed and then head to my room for my bathing suit. The girls are nowhere to be seen.

Up on the deck, I find an empty chair and set down my things before jumping in the pool.

That’s when I finally see my friends.

They’re over by the bar we first spent time at when we got on the ship. Beside them are those same girls who cheered along with us about a friend trip.

A friend trip. That’s what this was supposed to be, and here I am sleeping in the large bed of a guy I only just met.

I stay hidden in the scarce shade as I swim, but my eyes are trained on Caitlyn and Jessica. They look so happy. Are they happier without me than they were when we were together?

My heart breaks. I’ve been a terrible friend to them, but they haven’t been much better to me. We’re all to blame here.

I should get out of the pool and walk over to them, apologize and demand an apology in return, but I can’t. I stay weightless in the water as they make friends with younger, prettier girls. Maybe it’s better this way.

When I finally force myself out of the pool, it’s because the clock is ticking close to noon, and I need to meet Carter for lunch. Verifying that the girls are still at their bar-side posts, I sneak downstairs into our room to shower and change.

Avoiding them is exhausting.
