World After Worlds

Since then, Spencer's sex life was always active, there were nights that Spencer would call Hansel to cover him up because he would go to motels with his 'girlfriends'.

Spencer never cared for his women, all he did was use their bodies to satisfy his needs. Also, he never had the same girl twice. Later, he stopped having girlfriends and stuck on just making flings because it was easier for him to dispose of the relationship. He was such a heartbreaker, Hansel lost count of how many women would cry and would make a scene just to have him back. But Spencer was a cold man once he took something he wanted- he never looked back. And he was not the type of gentleman that would let the woman slap his face. If he was slapped, he would slap them back twice, disregarding the gender.

Sweet? Spencer was never a sweet boy and a sweet man. He didn't need to please anybody. With his smile- the body, the money, and the brain, women would flaunt and beg him to be noticed.

Age of sixteen, after they graduated from high school. Spencer swayed Hansel to have his first experience. They did it in an exclusive hotel with older- college women. They did that but Hansel wasn't interested in sexual things. He rather played with people's lives or not get involved at all. One year, they decided to not enroll for a year, and just traveled around the world.

When they started going to college, they had different tracks taken, and they were separated. And out of the blue, Hansel heard that Spencer was courting a woman.

Hansel laughed but he didn't question Spencer. When he heard that, he got a girlfriend- he thought it would be over by a flash but he never heard about Spencer breaking up with his girlfriend. However, he also heard that he was put in clubs partying and screwing women every night. Hansel didn't care. But he was curious why Spencer would not break up with his girlfriend if he kept fucking other females.

Then, he met Yanarym. Hansel felt that Yanarym was not the same as any woman he knew. Although he couldn't say what makes Yanarym different from any other woman.

He heard from Gale that Yanarym knew her situation with Spencer, but she chose to stay. At first, Hansel thought that she was any usual woman- who was in love with Spencer or Spencer's money. With that in mind, he thought that he could lure her on this cruise to give him a taste of her. Because- she was a gold digger. And maybe with some payment, he could have her. And Spencer, he thought Spencer would be willing to share… because Spencer would always share the woman that could satisfy him to Hansel.

But he thought wrong, Spencer had a lot more complex with Yanarym, he wouldn't share her with him at all. And Yanarym was a lot more puzzling for Hansel, she seemed to like him, she kept on sending him green flags. Hansel knew that Yanarym was teasing him, he might not like flirting but he was aware that the woman was into him. However, as he spent more time with her, he got confused- because her green flags were nothing like how she treated Spencer.

It seems like her being friendly- and flirty was very indistinguishable and distinguishable at the same time. Hansel was baffled, he was never wrong at reading people before, especially women. Because they are so easy to deceive and play with… however… he felt like the one who was playing this game- was not him. It was not Spencer either, because Spencer seemed to be the one who's crawling under her feet.

It's funny because when Hansel saw Spencer making out with other women in the club, he thought that Spencer's girlfriend was a pitiful woman. The poor woman couldn't let go of Spencer, because he thought that Yanarym was the kind of girl who would threaten Spencer to end her life if Spencer would abandon her. But watching them two, it looks like Spencer would be the one who would threaten Yanarym with all his might to make her stay at his side. One word to describe them, they are a very peculiar couple- and he wanted to be part of it.

"Gale!" Yanarym ran towards Gale as soon as she saw her on the corner.

"Rym!" Spencer screamed seeing where sprint towards Gale like an excited child. She never learned, did she?

"I miss you, Gale! Was I a bother to you last night?" Yanarym pouted and clung to Gale's waist.

"Hey, you shouldn't run," Gale told her and looked around to see if the supervisor was there. Fortunately, she was not around. She directed her eyes on Yanarym and saw that the two men were behind her. The three of them were looking gorgeous as usual.

"I forgot," Yanarym laughed and didn't even bother breaking the hug, "Eat lunch with us." She said sweetly. Spencer frowned seeing his girlfriend being coquettish with her girl best friend. He realized that in this five days vacation, he could never be alone with his woman.

If Yanarym wanted to cruise, he would buy her a ticket to another boat, not here with Hansel or Gale. He felt like his 'lone' time with her was being stolen by these two extras.

"I can't. I have work to do." Gale said to Yanarym, "My supervisor might see me, you go take a seat I will serve you." She added, yet Yanarym didn't understand that Gale was trying to shoo her away or was deliberately not listening to what Gale was telling her.

"When is your break?" Yanarym asked Gale, looked at her again and sighed. She cupped Yanarym's face before squeezing it till it blushed pink. "Ahwt," Yanarym complained and Gale laughed, watching her rubbing her cheeks. "Sadist."

"Hey, let me see." Spencer intercepted and checked if Yanarym's cheeks were bruised. He glared at Gale and Gale just smirked at him.

"It was over. Stop sabotaging my job and take a seat, I know you're hungry. Go there and I will serve you your favorites." Gale said, Yanarym made a duck face and stomped her foot.

"No~ why didn't you wait for me?" She grumbled. "You didn't even join this vacation and work and wouldn't even wait for me for lunch?" She narrowed her eyes and Gale scratched her head.

She wanted to have fun too, she wanted to go around the cruise and be served too. But how could she? She can't goof and play if there was a big amount of money in exchange for the short time of happiness.

How could Yanarym be such a baby in any way possible? If she was caught idling here and talking to guests she'll be in big trouble. Particularly, to the strict supervisor who was keeping an eye on her.

The other coworkers she is working with- didn't like her that much. Because she made an easy way to be on this deck with Hansel's help while the other employees on this cruise had so much process to go through to be here and she just walked in and got the job. Everyone thought that it was unfair- Gale thought it was unfair too… but this was what comes once in a lifetime. She could not afford to act all shy and giving. She needed that money too.

It's been hard for her since morning because everyone was trying to mess her up. And now, Yanarym was adding fuel to the fire- "I'm sorry, I'll wait for you tomorrow." Gale sighed and coaxed Yanarym.

Yanarym smiled at her, "You promise?"

Gale had a stiff smile and looked at her… can her life be a little better than this? Can't she become Yanarym instead? Gale blinked her eyes with her thoughts.

"Y-yeah, tomorrow, I'll wait for you."

Yanarym smiled in her head, the things she needs to happen are softly sailing. Although she didn't want to mess with Gale's characters and beliefs- she had to do something for Gale to change her perspective. In that way, Gale won't consider Hansel as someone she could like but Spencer. Also, Yanarym has to provoke Gale- she just had to…

It was a repetitive routine for five days on the cruise. In the morning, the three would have breakfast together. Lunch, Gale would join them. Afternoon, they would go where Yanarym wanted to play. Have a snack and at Night, Gale would join them for dinner too.

The five days cruising were extended to eight-day for Gale after her five days of working could experience a vacation for three days. It was free, Spencer paid for their extensive vacation. When the four left the cruise, Yanarym insisted that they should have a double date in Paris.

Spencer- although he had the notion that Hansel wasn't interested in Gale. He just laughed at Yanarym's silliness.
