Spring Break Day Three

Haiti, Love and Marriage, The Continuation of the High School Flirting

   After spending a day on Haiti getting terribly burned, Abilene picks me up after dinner.  Just like a high school date.  And just like a high school date, I fail to introduce him to my parents.  We have nothing to do so we wander around.  The poking, tickling and the playground romance continues.  I get completely freaked out because he flat out says that he thinks I'm pretty and nice so I know that he is interested in me, however he is a high school kid.  He has no idea what the hell he is going to do with his life and is as simple as a puppy. I know I need to ditch him, but I have no idea how.  Plus no one can abandon a puppy!
   He takes me to dinner at the Windjammer where we end up seeing Canada and Florida.  We make tentative plans to meet up at Blaze later in the evening.  We continue our evening with a post-dinner walk around the ship.  The poking, tickling and flicking continues as he makes attempts to block my path and tries to make any attempt to grab at me.  He then tells me that he made plans to see the "Love and Marriage Game Show" with a few people he met while playing ping-pong. I oblige, happy to meet some (hopefully) not high schoolers.
  This is how I meet Austin and Dallas.  Austin and Dallas are two adorable cousins, however I don't have an opportunity to speak to them as Abilene takes up most of my time and attention as most puppies do.  We go to the game show and Abilene jokes about how awful it would be if we were asked to go on stage.  I don't even know how to respond to this.
   After the game show we (Austin, Dallas, Abilene and myself) go to the club, which this night has been moved to the upper deck.  The party is pretty awesome and is even sponsored by Malibu Rum.  It's all decorated and cool because it is outside so there are more open spaces and it's not as warm.
  It is here that I finally see my wing woman.  I had gotten her room number the night before from a few Jersey dudes, so I had been calling her all day to no success.  We hug and get real room numbers and make plans to grab lunch the next day.
The Malibu Party (Also Canada and Florida)
   So I dance with Abilene (who is really awkward, especially because I refused to dirty dance high school style with him the previous night), Austin and Dallas.  Abilene eventually leaves, but says he will come back in ten minutes.  So I continue to dance with Austin and Dallas and we go off to the side and chat for a bit.  They're both hilarious and really nice and the best news of all is that Austin is in college (HOORAY!).  However Abilene doesn't come back so Austin, Dallas and I go to bed but not before we make plans to meet for lunch the next day.
  So this is my first taste of vacation romance high school style.
