Monica emerged from her room in a nice dress. She had no idea what the dinner on board the boat would be like so she picked a nice neutral dress. Not too formal but nothing she would be caught dead in McDonalds wearing. As she exited her room Aaron waited for her with a nice grey suit and tie on.
"You look very nice." She said to Aaron. She meant it. The suit seemed very expensive but she remembered he was a doctor. It could be Armani for all she known.
"Thank you, this is a old suit that a friend borrowed to me once and he never got it back. I like it too much." Aaron said as he paused to drink in Monica. "You look beautiful." He exhaled.
"Oh, this old thing?" Monica shrugged the compliment off.
"Yeah, I think you look very nice." Aaron said as he extended his arm.
"Lets go to dinner." Monica said as he took his arm.
The dinner was as formal as could be expected on a small cruise like they were on. Aaron and Monica ended up on dining on hot dogs and fries near one of the rails. After they finished they walked around a bit as they took in the sights. Monica stood at the rail and leaned on it.
"This is such a wonderful night." Monica said as she looked at the sky above. "Its so perfect."
"It is." Aaron replied. Ever since dinner Aaron could not keep his eyes off the dark haired creature in front of him. This was the same woman who not less than 24 hours earlier hated the very sight of him. Now they were sharing a sunset together.
Someone had turned on a radio and it was playing a slow song. The music had caught Monicas attention and now she looked at the person who had started the music. She then turned to Aaron. It wasnt till then she realized he had been staring. He didn't know it either till the moment their eyes met.
"Would you like to dance?" Aaron said nervously, tensing up a little inside to prepare himself in case she said no.
"Sure." Monica said smiling.
"You don't have to if you don't want to..."
"Aaron, I said yes."
"Oh." Aaron said. He hesitantly took her hand. They walked out a bit from the rail and they started to slow dance. They slowly moved together not taking each others eyes off one another. Monica eventually grew comfortable with the movement, the ship was still moving when they had decided to dance. She leaned her head up against Aarons chest and sighed. She stayed that way till the music stopped. Aaron reached down and lifted her chin up with his forefinger. She looked into his eyes. He leaned down and kissed her on the lips. Monica was surprised by the sudden action and found she liked it. They were in that position for a minute before she abruptly broke it off.
"I..I...I can't do this!" Monica said as she tore herself from Aaron.
"Whats wrong?" Aaron asked very concerned.
"I wouldn't be good for you Aaron." Monica said. "The last guy I dated became a wrestler, and the man before that was older than me and was a doctor too. Just like you." Monica said tearing up."I don't know if I can take that much heartbreak in such a small period of time!" Monica said as she turned to go to her cabin.
"Monica!" Aaron said loudly.
"I can't do this Aaron!" Monica said sobbing. "I don't want to hurt you but I don't want to go through this again. I'm sorry!" Monica said and started to run the last couple of feet to her room. She went in and locked it.
"Monica!" Aaron yelled again. He was left all alone on the deck, not knowing what had just gone on.
