The next morning, I decided to go as planned. I went to gym of the ship at exactly 6 am. I didn't bother asking for Stephan's permission since this no big deal. Besides, he mentioned that he had a few drinks with the guys last night so I guess he is having his hang over.

I just finished running at the treadmill as I grab the bottle of water and drank from it. I've been working out for an almost an hour or so but I'm still not done. There are many people inside this gym and most are men and fewer girls.

Then I noticed this one guy.

He had a cropped black hair with a nice fair skin. He was panting because it looks like he was just done doing the barbells and he's been watching me since I got here. He looks like a creep. He's wearing a basketball shirt and gym shorts. I admit that he looks appealing but totally not my type.

I just shrugged it off as I went to the dumbbells this time. I picked two for both of my hands as I simultaneously lifted them up. Until suddenly, someone spoke behind me.

"Hi."

I slowly turned my head to the side and noticed the creep who has been watching me, standing just a few meters away. Not even caring to talk back.

Then he cleared my throat after a few silent seconds of me not responding. "You see, I've noticed you since you came in this gym. Have I seen you somewhere? Or have we met?"

I rolled my eyes and looked at him, but more like a glare. "Listen buddy, that line is way too corny for me. If you trying to hit on me that stop. I'm not interested." I retorted, turning my back at him as I continued on working out.

I heard his soft chuckle. "The name is Fred." He extended his hand for me to shake.

But I just looked at it then raised an eyebrow at him. "Did I asked for your name?" I arrogantly replied. He just whistled in return, avoiding an eye contact and scratched the back of his head. "And I told you, I'm not interested." Then dropped the dumbbell on their rack as I grabbed my towel that was just hanging on the side.

"Okay, okay, I guess I'm being too forward and fast." Fred walked towards me and flashed me a smile.

"What do you want?" I breathe out, wiping the side of my neck.

Fred placed both of his hands in his pocket. "I just want to know your name, pretty. You just got my attention and now I want to be friends with you."

"You? Want to have friends with me?" Are you kidding me? Is that the best line he could get? What does this guy think of me? I'm not those easy to get girls that he thought about me.

"Maybe friends for now but lovers later." He cheekily murmured back but he barely makes a sound.

I groaned. "Listen, dude..." should I tell him this the hard way or the easier way? "Shut that mouth of yours and turn away. I'm done hearing those dumb lines you are saying." I said bluntly. Better make it the easier way. I turned away and left the gym, leaving him behind.

Guys like those irritates me. It makes me feel so easy for them to get. Well, better prove them right. I am not like any other girls that they think.

I put on a jacket to cover my body since I'm only wearing a sports bra and shorts. Stephan will probably be angry once he sees me in these. I could already picture his face and it makes me laugh.

"What's with the face?"

While I was storming out the pathway towards the elevator to my floor, I noticed Belle walking the same way as me.

"Oh, hey Belle. Where have you been?" I asked.

"Just went to the pharmacy that was just in the floor of the gym." She replied. "I bought my husband some painkillers since he and the boys had a tough night."

We head in the same elevator as I pressed our floor. Belle went on first, walking towards their suite while I decided to pay Stephan a visit in his room. I tried knocking on the door but it took at least 5 minutes before he could open it.

I gasped seeing what Stephan looks like. His hair is like a bird nest, his eyes barely opened, his half naked and only wearing his black Calvin Klein boxers, and yet, he looks so hot despise those looks. I really love seeing all of his tattoos, they add such hotness in him.

"Oh hi, Doll." His morning voice sounded so husky as he lean on the door frame. "What are you wearing?" then the possessive voice came out as his eyes glanced at me from head to toe.

"I just finished working out, Stephan. It's time for you to wake up and smell the coffee." I barged inside his suite without his permission, shoving his shoulder in the process. I sat down on his bed and waited for him to come to me. "You boys really had it rough last night, didn't you?" I arched an eyebrow.

Stephan sat down on the edge of the bed then fallen to his back but his feet are touching the floor as he covered his eyes with his arms. "Yeah...guess we did." He muttered. "Damn, my head is killing me."

I rolled my eyes and stood up. "Where are your painkillers?" I asked.

"It's in my bag. It's the green one." He pointed his hand somewhere without raising his head.

I followed the direction he was pointing where there is a green adventure bag on the luxury chair beside a tall stand lamp. I searched for some painkillers inside the pouches where I got surprised seeing five condom foils together with the medicine.

Well, he's ready. I find myself shaking my head as I took the painkillers and grabbed a glass of water inside the fridge that is just also located inside the room. "Here." I handed them to him.

Stephan groaned before sitting up to take it. "You should already be used to these kinds of things, Stephan. You're always drunk."

Stephan glared at me for seconds. "I do not get drunk always, Doll. Just occasionally." He denied. "But I always get drunk of you."

I scoffed, pushing him down the bed harshly earning a grunt from him. "Get up, and go take a shower. You stink."

He pouted, which I found it very cute. "I'm do not stink, Doll. I just smell alcohol."

"Yeah, and because of that you stink. Now get up." I ordered him, placing both of hand on my waist.

Then again, Stephan frowned and brushed his face with his hand. I know it's kind of hard to get up when you are having a hangover. You just want to lay in bed the whole day. So I decided to tease him a little.

"Okay then, goodbye." I dropped my shoulders in the process, faking a sad face. "I came here because I feel like kissing my boyfriend all day long but it looks like you don't want to...so I'll go ahead." Before I could move to get out, Stephan dashed in the bathroom in a blink.

And the scene just made me laugh in victory. What a very good boy who obeys quickly.

I head over to the living area to open the tv and tuned it to some entertainment shows. After ten minutes, Stephan stepped out already wearing his camouflage shorts without a top. He was drying his hair with the towel hanging on his shoulders.

"There, that's better." I told him, sitting straight. "Can I also use your shower?" I asked. I know there is a shower in my suite but I just feel like to shower here and wear his shirt.

"You should have joined me earlier." He frowned at me, stopping half way on drying his hair.

I rolled my eyes "And can I borrow one of shirt and boxer shorts?" I asked, cutely.

Stephan silently laughed, and sigh in defeat. "I'll just hand it to your later."

I clapped my hand, walking towards him and giving him a kiss on his cheek then ran to his bathroom. And it feels so heavenly taking a warm shower when you just got out of the gym. I used the shower gel that he is using and it smells like vanilla. Smells so wonderful.

There was an extra towel in here so I grabbed it and wrapped it around my body. Just before I could get out, Stephan knocked on the door with the shirt and boxer shorts that I was borrowing. "Thank you so much, baby." I said, sweetly.

"Call me baby one more time and I will take you here in the bathroom, Doll. You don't know how painful it is for me to let you shower in my suite knowing that you are alone." He told me before closing the door.

I just chuckled while shaking my head. I wore the shirt he gave me, and it was a grey cottoned v-neck top and his black boxer shorts. It feels very comfortable to wear my boyfriend's clothes and I just loved smelling his scent.

I didn't have a bra on but I left my sports bra and shorts hanging in his bathroom. I'll just give it Marie when she gets my laundry. When I stepped out, Stephan was sitting on couch, watching tv and still half naked. And Lord, he's so hot. Just look at those muscles.

Stephan noticed me. He smiled genuinely and tapped the place beside him telling me the signal. I smiled and made my way towards him but not taking the seat next to him but I sat on his lap. Both of my legs on his right side. He sat back on the couch and I rested my body on his, and starting to get comfortable in this position.

"You're became sweeter to me now that you're my girlfriend." He teased, pinching the bridge of my nose.

I shrugged. "Is that a bad thing?"

"No, it's the best thing." He leaned to kiss the tip of my nose then he planted small kisses all over my face, including my ears and to my neck. "I love your smell so much, Ariana." He whispered sexily.

I giggled, biting my lower lip. "I used your shower gel, Stephan. I smell like you."

"Nope, you had your own amazing scent, love." He continued kissing me. "I'm getting addicted to you even more." He wrapped an arm around my waist and brought me closer. "Tell me, Ariana...did you and Cliff became sensual like this?" he asked all of a sudden.

"What? Why are you asking that?" I wanted to change the topic.

"I want to know. I want a good reason to kill him." He breathe with a husky chuckle. "So, did you?"

I twisted my lips and bit my tongue. I don't want to tell him but I don't want to lie to him. Letting out a sigh "Well, what do you expect...he is my fiancé."

It was very obvious in Stephan's face that he hated the idea but he has the right to know it. Cliff and I were together more than a year and I really thought that he was the right guy for me. Who would have thought Stephan and I will end up together? No one, right?

I placed a hand on his cheek "But don't worry about it anymore, Stephan. You too, you were all over the news with different woman. We're just...fair."

He cursed silently. "I know. And not I feel bad about it."

"Yeah, you should be. You slept with a woman trice our age...seriously, what are you thinking that night and in the car?" I spat, hitting him on the head.

Stephan gave me a questioning look. "How did you know that? Don't tell me you saw it?"

I groaned and shook my head. "It happened that a friend of mine is also in the club and told me about that."

"L-let's just get out of this topic. This is the first day of us being a couple and here we are talking about our sex life with other people." He bragged, running a hand through his face. "And let's start our new memories together. What I am before is horrible, Ariana but I promise you that I changed myself for you. Cut my balls if I cheated on you, okay? But I highly doubt that."

"That I will cut your balls?"

"No, that I'm gonna cheat on you." He said intently this time. "I gave you my word, Doll. I will devote my whole life and love just for you. I promise."

"Don't promise me, Stephan. Do it." I told him, earnestly. "You know I hate when people breaks my trust."

"And I will make sure that I will never break your heart. Whatever you want, I will it for you. Just say the word, Ariana. I will be your slave." He whispered in my ear, huskily and kissed me there. "I love you so much, Ariana. Thank you for giving me the chance to be with you."

I smiled and felt like my heart just leaped out of my chest. I just can't control my feelings anymore everytime he is talking like this. He has been the best guy in my life and will always be. No one had ever made me feel so special like he did. "I love you too, Stephan. I believed in second chances. And you deserve one."

With that, we both leaned in for a kiss. Fireworks exploded as our tongue met. His hold on my waist tightened as mine on his neck also too. When everything was getting steamy between us, I was already lying on the bed and he's on top of me when someone knocked on the door.

"Oh c'mon, are you fucking kidding me?" Stephan groaned and cursed.

I laughed yet I felt my cheeks heated. "Go get it."

He got off me with a groan. "I'm gonna kill this motherfucker."

I also got up to check who it is. And also, to make sure that Stephan won't kill whoever the person. When he opened the door, the faces of all the guys greeted us, "SURPRISE!!!" they chorused.

"What the hell are you doing here? Shouldn't all of you be suffering from hangover?" The annoyance is in his tone and he didn't thought twice of showing them how he feels.

"Yeah, you too." Christian spoke.

"It's time for lunch our private area in the upper deck. Get you're horny ass up there!" Marko smacked his shoulder before they could notice me. "Oh, hi Ariana!"

Stephan turned his head to me then went back to them. "We will follow you guys there. Now, get out!" He slammed the door in their faces with a grunt. "Those idiots."

I laughed and hugged him from behind. "Let's go?"

"I want to stay here with you." He pouted his lips.

"Me too but we have to get up there with your friends." I told him and unwrapping my arms. "I will just put on a bra and change my shorts then let's go there."

Stephan groaned and messed his hair. "I really hate those guys." He muttered.

I just laughed and went to my suite to change my shorts and put on a bra. This is very awkward.

But, teasing Stephan a little is fun. I think it's a little too early to make love to Stephan at this stage of our relationship. We are just both starting to know each other more. But, the smile on my face can't be wiped out. When I got finished, Stephan was already waiting for me outside. He grabbed my hand as we walked towards the elevator. Our relationship right now should just be smooth and cool. We are just starting our new chapter together. After all those things that we wasted.

To be continued...
