Thanks for the kind comments, I'm glad you both like the story. Thanks for saying your printing the story to take on your trip. I hope you like the update. Chapter 15 Sanda, Reid, Melinda and Frank were eating, and having a few drinks. Reid and Sanda got up to dance, Melinda and Frank smiled. The song, "Time of my Life " came on. Reid held Sanda's hands as he twirled her around. She smiled she loved this song, and she loved the movie she thought it was amazing how Baby got Johnny, and now she was in the arms on the man of her dreams. She waited for so long to find someone special she almost gave up until her Father of all people brought him to her. Reid was adorable, he had the most amazing smile, and his adorable yet very sexy red hair was amazing. Sanda smiled she didn't really like to dance, and she could see Reid wasn't really fond of it, but they were dancing, it was like they were the only people in the room. He touched her chin, "God I want to kiss you Angel, but your Dad is looking over" "Go for it he will be fine". He leaned down, and kissed her so tenderly but he lifted her up after twirling her around. She laughed, "You will get dizzy, and drop me". Reid put her down, and smiled, "I'm having the time of my life, I never felt this way before, it is the truth, and I owe it all to you". She wrapped her arms around him, as she whispered, "I feel the same way". Melinda smiled, "They are adorable together" "Reid is a fine young man, I'm not to sure about Sanda's Mother she will be shocked that Sanda is falling for Reid so fast" "Hey that happens, I really think he is a great guy, he really likes Sanda you can see that" Frank looked over seeing them dancing, he knew his little girl was grown up, but he always thought of her like his little girl. He knew someday he would have to hand her over to the man she fell in love with, but he wasn't ready just yet. He could see Reid might be the one, and he could see Sanda was really happy, and that is all he ever wanted for her. Melinda felt tears come to her eyes, she remembered dancing with Ryan. He was so sweet, but he was selfish he never thought of her only of himself. She wiped tears from her eyes, as someone touched her shoulder. She thought it was Frank but she noticed him looking up at whoever was standing behind her. She turned seeing Ryan standing behind her dressed in a black suit. He looked amazing but he always does. He put his hand out, "May I have this dance" "Ryan what are you doing here"? "I couldn't let you go, I'm sorry I followed you, please forgive me". Melinda looked at Frank he smiled as she stood up taking his hand as they walked to the dance floor. Reid and Sanda look over wondering who the man was that Melinda was dancing with. Reid and Sanda walked back over to the table. "Daddy who is that man with Melinda"? "I think it is the man she ran away from" "Oh no" "Well it says a lot he is here, and judging by her face, she was happy to see him" Sanda smiled, "Daddy would you like to dance with me"? He smiled, "I would love to if Reid doesn't mind" "No Sir I wouldn't mind". Frank got up, they walked to the dance floor. He wrapped his arm around Sanda's waist. They both were dancing they were playing "Angel by Lionel Richie". Sanda whispered, "Daddy I think I'm falling in love with Reid" "I can see that Angel" "What do you think, he is wonderful don't you agree" "He is , but he is so lucky to have you" Frank had tears in his eyes, Sanda whispered, 'Daddy are you ok"? "I'm fine Sanda, I'm just fine". She leaned her head on his chest, as they danced to the song. Melinda whispered, "Ryan I can't believe you followed me here" "Well Andy almost fired me but he gave me the holidays, I had to make this right" "You know what I want Ryan, I'm not going to settle for anything less" Ryan smiled as he moved away from her, he went to his knee's. Melinda was shocked as he pulled out a box, and he smiled, "Will you marry me Melinda"? She put her hands to her face, he smiled, "Oh man answer me please don't say no" "Yes, Yes" I will marry you". He stood up, as she jumped into his arms, and hugged him.

Chapter 16
Melinda and Ryan came over to the table. Sanda smiled, "You look happy Melinda"
"Sanda, Reid this is Ryan my boyfriend"
Ryan smiled, "Yeah but soon to be husband"
"Husband"?
"Yes he asked me to marry him, look at my ring". Melinda showed them Frank gave her a hug, and shook Ryan's hand.
Melinda sat down, Ryan grabbed a chair sitting beside her. Frank was looking at Ryan he was happy for Melinda, but he was worried too. She was hurt she was running from him, he just hoped she was making the right choice. Ryan smiled, "Would you all mind if we left to talk alone"?
"No we will see you both again". Melinda smiled, "Yes of course, we have a lot to talk about , but it was such a lovely evening thank you for inviting me'. Melinda and Ryan got up, and left, Sanda smiled, "Wow that was something"
"Yeah lets hope that young man will make her happy"
"Daddy she is happy, he came looking for her"
Reid smiled, as Frank whispered, "I'm going to go back to my room, it is getting late, and I'm exhausted, maybe you two can dance a little more"
"You sure Dad"?
"Yeah today was a long day, tomorrow you two are going on your tour, I'm going to read my book that I brought"
"You should come on the tour with us"
"No jet for me, and I'm not hiking"
Sanda smiled, "Daddy you are to cute"
"No that is you, don't stay up to late young lady". He kissed Sanda's cheek, and smiled at Reid as he left.
"Your Dad is amazing, you know he just wanted to give us some alone time"
"Yeah I know but I bet he is worried about us going to fast"
"Well I wouldn't let anything happen to his girl"
Sanda touched his hand, "Want to dance"?
"I would rather go up on deck, and have some alone time with you Angel"
She smiled as they both got up, and left the dining room. He held her hand as they walked up to the main deck, and were walking holding hands. She leaned into him, he wrapped his arms around her, as she whispered, "This trip has been amazing"
"For me too, I thought I would be lonely, but I'm so glad I came". She smiled as they walked over sitting on a bench. Reid took his jacket off, and put it around her shoulder. She leaned into him as he held her close as they just sat holding each other. Reid whispered, "That was wild that Melinda and Ryan are getting married"
"Yes it is she was mad at him, but it looks like she forgave him now"
"Yeah well your Dad is right, I hope he doesn't hurt her again"
"Melinda seems pretty smart she won't allow that"
"Sanda have you ever thought what it would be like to find someone so special you want to spend the rest of your life with"
"My Wedding day I think about it everyday, but sometimes it felt like it would never happen"
"Are you ready for marriage Sanda"?
"Me why are you asking me these questions Reid"?
"I know this is wild but I know if I lost you now it would hurt so bad, I feel like I have known you all my life"
Sanda touched his shoulder as she moved close as they stare into each others eyes. He whispered, "I'm falling in love with you Sanda, I'm so not letting you go"
Sanda whispered ,"Kiss me Reid Oliver, just kiss me". He brought his lips to hers, as they kiss.
Melinda and Ryan were walking when he stood touching her chin. "Melinda when you ran away, I thought I was going to die"
"Ryan you hurt me , I couldn't take it anymore"
"I was selfish, I always have been, but the thought of losing you hurt me so bad. I never want to lose you again, I want to make you happy, and I want a family with you"
"You want a baby someday"
"I know I said no but yes I want a baby someday"
Melinda moved close as he smiled as they brought their lips together , and kiss.

You missed the last update Melinda, just thought I would let you know. Chapter 17 Sanda and Reid walked back to Sanda's room. She opened her door, she whispered, "Would you like to come in for a drink"? "Oh I don't know what would your Father think"? "A drink Reid he will be fine" Reid walked in Sanda shut the door. She walked over to the adjoining room, and looked inside. Her Father was asleep she shut the door, and walked over to the mini bar. "What would you like"? "Rye, and coke would be great". Sanda grabbed them, she turned, "I don't have ice" "I will get some" Reid grabbed the bucket, and walked out going down the hall. He grabbed the ice, and was coming back to the room when he saw Melinda by her door down the hall. Ryan was kissing her, Reid smiled as he went inside thinking they were kissing, and making up. "What are you smiling about Reid"? "Oh I just saw Melinda down the hall, they were kissing" "I guess they are making up that is sweet" "Yeah but I hope she goes slow she left him for a reason" "Yeah but when your in love you always forgive most of the time" Reid smiled as she handed him the drink as he sat on the bed. She had just a ginger ale but she sat beside him. They leaned against the headboard as he put his drink down. He whispered, "This feels so nice, I hate being alone, but I don't want your Father freaking out on me" "He will be fine, we are not doing anything wrong" "I know but Dad's freak out sometimes" "My Dad is cool" "I know he is so are you Sanda". They smile as they kiss, Sanda leaned on his chest as he rubbed her back. They both were so relaxed before they knew it they fell asleep in each others arms. Melinda invited Ryan into her room, he took his coat off putting it on the chair. "Ryan I don't know if I really want you spending the night" "Why Melinda we are back together"? "Ryan a lot happened, I'm nervous" Ryan walked over, "About me, you know I love you so much" "I know, and I love you, but I don't want to be hurt again" "I made mistakes, I want you to forgive me, please say you can". Melinda touched his cheek, as he lifted her up carrying her over to the bed, laying her down. He crawled on the bed beside her, as he brought his lips over hers, and they kissed. He smiled as she touched his cheek, and she whispered, "I'm so glad you came looking for me Ryan, I prayed you would, but part of me thought you wouldn't " "I'm here now, and there is no where else in the world I would want to be" Melinda pulled Ryan close, and they kissed, and he laid her back, and started to take off his shirt , then he got up, and totally undressed himself all the time they watched each other with their eyes . He knelled on the bed, and pulled Melinda to her knee's so they faced each other, and he touched her mouth and his lips kissed her neck and he pulled off her dress. He touched her shoulders, and kissed her down her arm, and Melinda laid back. Ryan put his fingers under the top of her panties, he slowly pulled them down, and he kissed her belly. He could feel her breathing, and he knew she was losing control, just like him .He caressed her with his hands on her thighs,stroking and caressing her body .When he turned and braced himself above her, he whispered. "Open your eyes Melinda, I want to see your beautiful eyes " Her eyes drifted open. They were full of passion . Ryan body opened her thighs , he straddled her, and in one swift thrust he entered her, and smiled down at her radiant face. He watched expression of Joy dance across her face in each response to his rhythmic stroking. He watched as he changed tempo, and brought her to even higher levels of arousal. He watched, and could see into her sole when she experienced her fulfillment, and he saw her shine with love when he experienced his.

Chapter 18
Melinda and Ryan were holding hands, Melinda was laying on his chest.
"Ryan how did you get time off work"?
"Andy gave it to me, he knew I would quit if he didn't"
"You would quit"?
"Yeah I knew I blew it big time, and I knew someone on this cruise would fall head over heels in love with you, I wasn't taking any chances"
"Ryan are you serious about us, or are you just scared of being alone"
"Melinda can I say something, and can you take me seriously"?
"Yes"
"Well I was a player for years, and I was a jerk with women, that all changed after I met you"
"No you acted like a jerk a lot Ryan"
He smiled, "I know I'm trying to say I'm sorry for that. I never felt so alone after you left, and knowing I lost the best thing that ever happened to me" Melinda sat up, "I'm the best thing"?
"You bet, I want to be your best friend, your lover, and your husband"
"What about a Father"? Ryan went pale, Melinda smiled, "Do you want children someday"?
"Yes but I'm scared, what if I suck at being a Father"
"You will be fine, but don't worry we will not have a baby right away"
"If you want to I will"
"Shh lay back, lets get some sleep we have a lot to do tomorrow"
Ryan pulled her close, "I'm not all that tired" Melinda laughed, "Ryan go to sleep, we have all this week for play, right now I want to cuddle" Ryan pouted, but he kissed her, she laid her head on his chest, as she fell asleep, and he laid there thinking about the last few weeks. He smiled everything finally seemed perfect, he just hoped he wouldn't ruin it again, he was known for that, but he really felt he has finally grown up.
3am
Frank woke up he walked to Sanda's adjoining room, and opened the door. He wanted to make sure Sanda was safe. He stood in shock he couldn't believe his eyes. He wanted to wake them up but he went back to his room, and shut the door. He leaned against it, not knowing what to think. His little girl was all grown up, but he couldn't believe what he just saw. He walked to his bed, and laid down, wondering what his wife was going to say, he never should have left them alone, but he knew he had to remain calm, but he didn't want Sanda to rush things, but that was to late now. He laid in bed looking at the ceiling, when he finally fell asleep.
Sanda woke up at 6 am, she turned but she was shocked seeing Reid in bed. She realized they fell asleep, and they didn't wake up. She didn't want her Father to see them. She sat up touching Reid's face.
"What"?
"Reid you have to go to your room, my Dad might catch us"
"OMG what time is it"?
"6am"
"I'm so sorry"
"Don't be it was both of us, beside nothing happened, but I don't need my Dad to see us in bed together"
"My either I wouldn't want him to hate me"
"Don't worry he will never know" Reid got up, Sanda walked him to the door. She smiled as he kissed her so gently, than he touched her cheek. "Someday I won't have to run away"
"Yeah someday"
Reid smiled, "I will see you soon for breakfast, we are going on our tour trip. I think Ryan and Melinda are coming too"
"I know she told me she had arranged the tour for herself . I guess she would take Ryan"
"I don't want to leave you Sanda"
"Go before my Dad comes out, I really don't want you to leave either"
Reid smiled as he walked down the hall, and waved as he ran upstairs. Sanda shut the door, she walked over laying on the bed grabbing the pillow Reid was laying on. She could smell his cologne, she was in heaven. She whispered, "Someday I will marry that man". She hugged the pillow, and fell back to sleep she didn't have to get up yet.

Chapter 19
Melinda woke up , and smiled seeing Ryan snuggled into her sound asleep. He was cute she touched his lips, he moaned as she started to laugh. He finally opened his eyes, and whispered, "Oh man what time is it"?
"7am, I wanted to get up early we are going on our tour today"
"Oh and I thought we could stay in bed all day, now that would be a plan" Melinda giggled, "You would enjoy that, but this is a trip I want to remember, and I want to go on the tours I put my name down for."
"You sure I can go , I didn't put my name down"?
"Yeah they told me I could have a partner so they left a space open for me"
"So you thought you would find a partner on the cruise"?
"Well a friend not a partner, but I have one now right". Ryan smiled as he brought his lips over hers, and laid Melinda back. She whispered, "Now what are you doing Ryan"?
"I'm making love to my girl"
"Your girl, I like that Ryan". He pulled the blanket over them, as she giggled, as they kiss.
She touched Ryan's face, and he moaned grabbing Melinda whispering" I need you". She brought her lips to his, as he wrapped his arms around her, he pulled her into his body, caressing her, savoring her softness. She feathered his torso with kisses, caressing his body with her hands. His mouth met hers as she took Ryan and she moved as they both set a pace , that drove them both crazy. He held her hips, and she grabbed his shoulders, as they both released. Melinda laid on Ryan's chest, and held him tight. She wanted to feel she made the right choice and being in Ryan's arms felt so right. They got up, and showered, and got ready for their day.
Sanda was dreaming, she was dreaming Reid was asking her to marry him. She was whispering his name, when her father came into the room to wake her. He touched her shoulder she jumped but she smiled.
"Oh Daddy what time is it"?
"7:45 you should get up, you and Reid are going on your tour today"
"Yes at 9am, what are you going to do Dad"?
"Relax, I didn't get much sleep last night, how did you sleep Sanda"?
"Great Reid brought me back to the room, I feel right to sleep"
Her Father smiled but she could see he was upset about something. She got up putting her housecoat on, "Dad what is wrong"?
"Nothing I'm just tired"
"No something is wrong, are you upset with me"?
"No not upset, maybe a little disappointed, but I know your a grown woman"
"Why are you disappointed, I didn't do anything wrong"?
"You can do what you want, but please don't lie to me, that is something you don't do to me"
"Lie Daddy"?
"I know Reid spent the night, and I know you didn't want me to know"
"I'm a Adult Daddy but I didn't do anything with Reid we fell asleep talking. I'm falling in love with Reid, but I'm not ready to take it to the next level. I'm feeling really weird talking about this, but I'm sorry you saw us in bed together. If you noticed, he was fully dressed"
"I didn't notice I just freaked out"
"Daddy I'm sorry, but when I'm ready it will be my business, he is really special"
"I can see that, I really didn't know you would fall in love on this trip. I can hear your Mom now asking me why I didn't keep my eye on you"
"I can hear her too Dad, but you knew this day was coming". Her Father hugged her, and whispered, "I know Angel, but I'm happy for you, but I'm a little sad , I'm afraid I will lose you"
"That would never happen Dad, and you know it" He smiled as he touched her face, "Go get ready your Prince Charming will be here soon, you don't want him to see you in your pajama's"
Sanda smiled, "Oh Dad" Her father went to his room , as Sanda ran to shower, and change.

Chapter 20
Melinda got up, and Ryan was laying on the bed, and Melinda almost jumped back in bed but she was looking forward to the tour. She was going with Reid, and Sanda they were sweet, and she liked their friendship. She walked over whispering in Ryan's ear, and he turned, and whispered, "You promise"
"Yes I promise tonight I'm all yours".
Ryan got up , and Melinda put her housecoat on, as Ryan walked to the bathroom, and asked if she wanted to take a shower with him?
"I would but we would never get ready jump in, and I will have a quick shower after"
"OK but you don't know what your missing"
"Maybe tonight before dinner we can have a shower we will have more time"
Ryan smiled going into the bathroom, and turned on the shower. Melinda walked over to the closet getting her outfit ready. She was having such a good time, and she was happy Ryan came on the trip he was the one she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. She was not so sure if he would hurt her again in the future but she knew she had to give him a chance, and hope he has grown up, because if he hurt her again it would be over for good. She sat in the chair daydreaming when he came out wearing nothing, and she smiled as he was pulling on his boxers.
"Ryan your not shy are you"?
"No not me, I think that is what made you fall in love with me"
"You probably are right, I like the bad boys"
"I thought it was my eyes that got you right away"
"Yeah you do have the cutest eyes". Ryan walked over, "Get your shower, we don't want to miss this tour". Melinda went into the washroom, and Ryan smiled as he got dressed.
Sanda showered, and was dressing when she heard a knock at the door. She walked over seeing Reid there wearing jean shorts, and a white t-shirt, and looking so cute, and his smile was amazing.
"Come in Reid"
"I know I'm a little early, but I am so excited about the tour today"
"Yes it will be fun with Melinda and Ryan, I'm looking forward to it too. I think I should tell you something, but nothing is wrong so don't worry"
"I'm worried when someone tells me not to worry"
"My Dad came in last night, and saw us, and jumped to conclusions, but I told him the truth, and everything is OK. I just don't want to keep secrets from you, and just in case my Dad said anything I want you prepared"
"Is he angry"?
"No, I'm a big girl, but he was a a little shocked"
"He would be I don't blame him"
Sanda moved close as their lips came together, as Frank walked into the room.
"Oh my God, I don't have good timing do I. I will be in the other room when you are ready to go. I want to send you off, and I wanted to check on Melinda , I hope she is having fun with her boyfriend. The young man seemed nice, but I knew she was shocked seeing him"
"I think she was happy to Dad, I'm sure she is OK"
"Yes I'm sure she is, and I can see your real happy too". Reid walked over, "Sir about last night we were talking, and I fell asleep it was my fault, and I'm so sorry you were upset"
"Don't worry Son, have a fun day with my Daughter, and tonight you both can join me for dinner, If I'm not to boring"
"Dad you know we would, maybe Ryan and Melinda will join us too"
"I hope so, but be safe today, and stay together"
"Dad you always worry to much"
"Yes I will worry about you until the day I die Angel".
Sanda hugged him, and whispered, "You are the best Dad".
Frank touched her chin, and said, "Lets go your tour starts in 10 minutes, Melinda and Ryan will be waiting for you".
