2 days later....
Oceans POV
The first two days in the cruise were incredible, I mean the sights of the Ocean were incredible! And then there was Lin who was cracking jokes about the literal Ocean, and myself Ocean. I still haven't been down to the pool though.
"Dad?" I asked Lin who was eating lunch with Sebastian.
"Yeah?" He replied taking a bite of his steak.
"I'm going down to the pool, I need to get some use out of the swimsuit Mom bought me." He laughed a bit and nodded, so I got changed and headed down.
The Pool was pretty crowded, so I couldn't find a seat at first, but I managed to find an elderly couple leaving, so I took their seat at the very front of the pool, placing my towel down. I know how to swim, but that doesn't mean I like to swim. I remember my first foster mom had hired a swim instructor named James from a Boys and Girls club. I was pretty excited about my first swim lesson, I mean I was five. But when I first jumped into the water, the man was wearing octopus underwear in the pool. I looked back at my mom and the man repeatedly and climbed out of the pool.
"The man's a lunatic mom. " I whispered.
"Come on Taylor, get in the pool." She said angrily and threw me in.
Someone had grabbed onto my waist and pulled under, and I looked up and saw James with a cackling face. I squirmed and tried to push him off of me. Like I had told my mother, this man was a lunatic.
He held me underwater so long that I had passed out for a good 10 minutes. That was when my mom decided to change swim instructors.
"Excuse me?" Someone shook my arm and aroused me from my horrifying flash back. I nodded and jumped up.
The boy in front of me laughed. "I'm sorry to wake you... is this seat taken?" I looked over at the boy pointing at the seat and I nodded.
He laughed, sat down, and held out his hand. "Carter, Carter Longsworth."
I uneasily shook his hand.
"You're quiet... I'm going to call you Mouse. That ok mouse?" Carter laughed.
"You mean like the rodent mouse? In that case no." I sat up to face him.
"Oh, I see, you're a feisty mouse... But no I mean like those adorable mice like in Cinderella."
I smiled. "That's better."
"So what's your actual name mouse? I shouldn't really introduce you to people with, this is mouse." We both laughed, and I looked at his dirty blonde hair.
"Ocean, Um, Ocean Miranda," I said and his eyes widened.
"So you're that famous pop star who got adopted by Lin-Manuel Miranda?" He asked.
I blushed a bit. "Yeah. My dad's from Puerto Rico, so he decided to show me some of the sights."
He ran his hands through my hair. "That's pretty cool mouse. Pretty gosh darn cool."
I jumped back a bit and remembered what Lin had said about fame getting to me and my love life.
"So, um Carter, why are you on the cruise?"I said shyly.
"Oh, it's a graduation gift, I'm heading to South Carolina University next year." He said proudly.
"That's awesome!" I smiled, "I'm going into my senior year in high school, but when I do go to college, I got my heart set on B.C."
"You got a boyfriend mouse?" He leaned closer, so close that our lips were almost touching.
"No...and I don't-" He cut me off.
"Lucky for me then Mouse... I already like you." He whispered then pulled me into a full long kiss at the front of the pool. I pushed back after a moment and looked at him.
"I like you too," I whispered, then ran off to our room.
