Christopher awoke early with the sound of an alarm clock. Dreams of Andrea filled his head last night. Her smiles, her voice, everything.
He got out of bed and went to take another shower, even though he had just taken one last night. Christopher made sure that he was clean and finally got dressed.
Having a few minutes before the time he said he'd go by Andrea's room to pick her up, Christopher sat down on the edge of his bed. Last night had been a deciding factor if he liked Andrea or not and quite frankly, he adored her. There was something that he felt he already knew about her, like he had seen her before, but he couldn't put his finger on where he could have.
Yesterday's events replayed in his mind and he knew that he would probably ask her to sail with him when he left. Christine would probably enjoy her.
Checking the time, Christopher stood up and straightened out his clothes and left his room to go downstairs to her room. He stopped outside Andrea's door and took in a deep breath as he knocked.

It took forever for Andrea to fall asleep and stay asleep, she simply had too much to think about. Christopher was so handsome she ached to look at him again. How could she have not been so aware of this in the past? Why was it all rushing upon her just now?
She woke up hearing a knock on the door. She didn't understand at first where she was or what was going on but then the previous night came back to her in a flood of memories up to the point where she agreed to meet with him again today. Her eyes widened what time was it? She looked at the shabby clock that at some point in the night had stopped working and panicked pulling out her grandfather's pocket watch.
"Oh my goodness!" she jumped out of the bed as her heart started beating too quickly, she was late. Late for a *very* important date. She ran around the room trying to get things situated. It had taken her all of an hour last night to get ready, she just wasn't used to this looking like a female when she hadn't done it in so long.
She knew she was taking too much time and worried that he might leave her so she ran to the door not fully put together yet.
She stood in a rumpled state. Jeans and a T-Shirt was all she could accomplish, her hair in adorable disarray softly falling around her face, and her eyes that managed the most pathetic puppy dog eyes imaginable.
"Christopher..." she whispered she could barely whisper as he stood there so put together looking and jaw dropping with masculine beauty.
She got a hold of herself but could still only manage to apologize while she tried to fix her hair still. "I'm so sorry...I..overslept."

As he stood there, Christopher heard her rushing around in the room. A soft smile appeared on his face as he pictured her running around attempting to finish getting ready. Things were going as well as he had hoped.
Once Andrea opened the door, his soft smile remained on his face. "Good morning Andrea," Christopher said. She looked adorable, at least in his opinion. He thought it was nice how she rushed around getting ready.
He gave a soft chuckle. "Don't worry about it, it's quite alright. I'm not going to rush you to get ready. If you have something else to do, I'll wait for you."

She gave him a kind smile for his understanding. As his cabin boy however she wasn't allowed the oversleeping indulgence which perhaps was why she was so worried about not being as prompt as she would have liked. Able to relax a bit she still knew she wanted to hurry and get ready for their date. She was excited enough to thank him and spin around. Three steps later she yelped, followed by a thud on the floor.
"Ow!" she bit her lip and held her foot tightly, " Ow ow ow..." she tried not thinking about her poor stubbed toe that was now throbbing but it hurt badly.

Christopher was amused at how excited Andrea seemed. Her eyes seemed to be brighter and her face seemed to glow a little more. Maybe it was the lighting, or maybe it was just her. Whichever it was, made her look more beautiful than she already did.
As she stubbed her toe and hit the ground, Christopher moved quickly and bent down to pick her up easily. He sat her on the foot of her bed. "You going to be alright?"

"Well aren't you dashing?" she asked then laughed and ended up smiling at him, " Thank you, I believe I'll live."
Just looking at him made the throb lessen not that she had really felt anything at all once he picked her up except sheer bliss. It was very strange how he made her feel just by being close to her.
She sighed, " It doesn't hurt so much now..I'll just grab a few things...then we can go." giving him a half smile, " Sorry, I must seem like such a clutz."

Letting out a laugh, Christopher shrugged. "I try to be from time to time," he responded. "I'm relieved that you will live, after all, who else am I going to take to breakfast?" He gave her a wink.
He was in a wonderful mood this morning. After all, he had something nice to look forward to. It wasn't everyday that he asked a woman to breakfast, or to even spend the whole day with him.
"Take your time, and it's no problem. We all have our flaws."

"Well I'm usually very graceful." she said with her chin up, then she smiled and ruined that illusion. She was in fact very graceful but she never thought she was on account of what she did with her life. Grace was something that girls learned into their womanhood, not cabinboys. She shook her head, " I was really looking forward to today. I think I'm just a little anxious is all. Silly of me isn't it?"

Christopher knew that Andrea had some kind of grace. They did dance together last night and quite frankly, he thought her pretty graceful. Plus, she was graceful with her words and voice. It could just mesmorize him in an instant.
"Being anxious is not silly. I'll let you in on a little secret," Christopher said leaning in just a little bit and lowering his voice to a whisper. "I have been pretty anxious myself. I woke up early this morning and had to take my time getting dressed this morning. I still had time to burn this morning."

Andrea smiled shyly from his answer. She was still excited but now it was a calm excitement an easy one that was based off of anticipation. She wasn't quite sure what she was anticipating but some feeling in her gut when he was around was screaming at her to get to the bottom of what it was.
Then suddenly when he leaned in and she took notice she realized what it was she wanted from him, well other than for him to take him with her on the ship. She wanted him to kiss her. Like he had last night only more, she wanted more, she didn't know what.

He leaned back a little bit and smiled down at her. The temptation to kiss her arose again, but he didn't know if it would be a good idea or not.
"So, feeling anxious is not silly. We all feel that way from time to time, especially when we're going to do something that we're happy about." Christopher was looking forward to every second of the day because it would be the deciding day if he was going to take her on the ship or not, although he did have a feeling that he was going to take her anyway.

She nodded and his words gave her enough pause to pull back, he wasn't going to kiss her. She swallowed and tried focusing on what she was doing but it was hard to think. Getting dressed that's right.
"Well then...I'll be just a moment." she left him then to go get ready.
She wasn't sure where they were going but she put on a nice day jumpsuit that looked classy and comfortable at the same time.

Christopher gave her a wink. "We're not in a rush. We have all day, unless you have some other type of plans to do." He sincerely hoped that she didn't have any other plans. It was difficult enough leaving her last night, he didn't want to say goodnight too early.
He waited patiently as she got ready. Once she was finished, a smile spread across his face. "You look nice," Christopher commented. He stood up and walked over to her, kissing her cheek. "Are you ready to start the day?"

She was a little shy about her appearance but when he complimented her a wealth of pride flourished inside of her. She didn't have long to think about it however when he kissed her cheek and she went warm all over.
He enjoyed doing things that made her dizzy she was sure, and she was a sensible girl. When she first envisioned making the captain fall for her, she didn't think she'd fall for him. She didn't think there would be any falling involved. She simply knew she suited his purposes in this "wife hunt" and had a crazy idea to run with it, now her feelings were involved and she was a bit frightened.
"I'm ready."

"Wonderful," he said smiling. Christopher led her out. "I'm sure that we'll have fun today. If you find anything boring, let me know and I'm sure that we can improvise somehow or another."
He couldn't remember another time when he'd be extremely happy, other than around his niece, but then again this was a different type of happiness than being around Christine. Christopher was going to take his time with Andrea and not rush anything. He was going to let things go as they wanted.

He appeared to be so eager to please and it made her mouth twitch into a smile. How interesting it would be to have the serving side of her captain. He certainly appeared as if he would do whatever made her happy. It was a thought that could have brought tears to her eyes if she wasn't trying so hard to appear normal.
"I'm sure today's going to be wonderful."

A thought crossed Christopher's mind as he could have answered her comment, but he just let it go. It was just one of those cheesy things, and Christopher didn't want to sound that way.
"Of course it is," he said confidently. He gave her a wink and led her out of the hotel and out into the street. There was a place similar to a diner near the hotel and their breakfast was amazing. "I hope you like to eat breakfast. The restarant that we're going to serves wonderful breakfast. Their pancakes are probably some of the best I've had." Christopher sort of felt awkward after saying that. Not once had he really said anything like that to anyone, even if it was just about something simple like that.
"What do you want to go see or do today? Shopping? Walking? It's up to you today. Don't tell me it doesn't matter." Christopher looked at her with a smile.

"I'm starving." she said honestly. She smiled at him then shrugged, " I'm not too picky honest. It's not that I've never been here before, but most things seem new when you're with a new person. I'd like to walk perhaps? Maybe see the sights that sort of thing." she said off handedly. She was sure seeing the sights with him would be an experience all in itself.

"I am too. My stomach has been growling at me ever since I woke up," he said with a laugh. "We can do whatever you want. A walk does sound great after we get full on breakfast." Christopher would do whatever made Andrea happy. If she wanted him to dance around her, he would.
"Taking in the sights would be interesting. I haven't done that yet. After all, I don't ever really stay in one place longer than a night, but there is something that is keeping me here a little bit longer."

Dancing around her would have been very strange for Andrea since she was used to seeing him as nothing but their esteemed captain, but something was different about him, he was smiling. He looked...happy. She didn't know why he was happy but she was glad for it. She nodded at his plans that htey had decided upon together and followed him into the restaurant.
"What's that?" she asked wondering both as female and cabinboy.
