'I knew you were rich Tia but this is something else!' Rocket exclaimed as they drove through the big gates leading up to her house. His new girlfriend just shrugged her shoulders at his comment and snuggled back into his arms where she had been the whole trip from Akillian to the Obia Moon and then from the car ride to the house (which was more like a mansion in Rocket's eyes which it probably was but Tia just thought of it as home). Falling deeper into his arms, Tia couldn't help but feel warm and safe in his strong arms; like nothing else in the world mattered but she was beginning to feel that way about him all the time now.

Rocket and Tia had spent the first month together after the Cup on Akillian where Rocket had had dinner with Tia's parents who had invited him to spend a while with Tia on Obia Moon surprisingly. However, Rocket's parents hadn't properly met his new girlfriend yet (not since they started dating. She knew them well but felt a bit different now that her and Rocket were dating) but they had plans since the Cup and wanted to get reunited so they hadn't met Tia properly in the girlfriend sort of way like for dinner or something. In fact, Rocket spent more time with her after the Cup because he wasn't sure how to be with his mum and he knew Tia better and wanted to get to know her better now that she was his girlfriend. Anyway, he loved having his mum back in his life but he wasn't good at interacting with people he had just met (Tia being an exception) and it was no different with his mum but she understood that and just let him relax and come to her in his own time.

Finally, they reached the house and Rocket's mouth fell. It was even bigger up close than from a distance. He couldn't believe that his girlfriend grew up here. Tia looked up and couldn't help but laugh at his expression before speaking.

'Are you coming inside or are you waiting to catch flies?' she joked and got up and out of his grip. That's when he seemed to knock out of his trance and turned to her just so he could catch a glimpse of her stunning smile before leaving the car and then helping her out as well. Then they took their bags out from the car and being the gentlemen he was, Rocket took his own bags as well Tia's but Tia wasn't letting him do all the work and took both his and hers rucksack.

'Are you alright with those Tia?' Rocket asked worriedly. Being the boyfriend he was, he really hated it when she did things like that; fair enough she was strong and independent but she was small and petite and everything she seemed to carry was really heavy and she always carried them despite the amount of times he asked her not to which was because he didn't want her to hurt herself for no apparent reason.

'I'm fine Rocket, honestly,' she replied as she started up the front steps and Rocket reluctantly sighed and agreed but stayed close to her just in case.

'Ok…we'll leave the bags in my room and then I'll give you a tour of the house,' she said as they entered through big front doors. Rocket face fell once again as he entered through the huge front doors. The first thing you caught sight of was a huge marble staircase in the centre of the hall leading upstairs and it was huge. There were two archways; one to the left and the other to the right, and the one on the right led into a huge living room while the other lead into the dining room. Tia looked to see that her new boyfriend was frozen to the spot in awe and was looking around him in amazement and this made her smile. Meanwhile, her boyfriend also noticed that there were two coffee tables in either side of the staircase, each holding photo's in photo frames as well as many other photos on the walls around it. Rocket continued to stare in amazement before Tia suddenly remembered something.

'Oh, and I should warn to just…be careful. You never know whether or not the cameras are working,' she informed him calmly but it was enough of a shock to Rocket as to knock him out of his daze.

'What camera's?' was his first reaction. Rocket was really looking forward to having some alone time with Tia and getting to know her better than he already did but now that was all doomed. In realising her boyfriend's disappointment, Tia sighed disappointedly.

'I know. But we still have the bathrooms,' she encouraged, trying to lighten up the mood and make him feel better but it didn't work. 'And we would have my room only due to my runaway incident…' she began but Rocket finished it off for her.

'Your parents don't trust you to leave you alone now!' he implied and she gave him an apologetic look. Obviously, she didn't regret it but she did feel sorry that the only real alone time they were going to get was if they made out in the bathrooms and truthfully; neither of them fancied that but it was the only time they would get the chance then they would make do.

'Come on, let's drop these off in my room,' she spoke suddenly, gesturing to the bags and began to head up the stairs, soon followed by Rocket.

'This place is amazing,' Rocket said to Tia who was sitting on her bed while he looked around her room which her boyfriend thought was three times the size of his room back on Akillian and that was with his on-suite and without hers. For the second time that day, Tia just shrugged her shoulders at his polite comment as he finished looking round her room and was slowly approaching her. He gulped before setting his arms on either side of her and leaning down, forcing her to now lie down on the bed and he set himself above her. Without even kissing, the twosome was already breathless and Rocket's eyes kept moving from her eyes to her mouth. He so badly wanted to kiss her but the thoughts of the bodyguards seeing them, scared him a little.

'What are you doing?' Tia asked breathlessly even though she could tell by his expression what he wanted to do but it was only convincing him to do it despite them being caught on camera.

'Not what I want to do,' he replied nervously. Oh, how he wanted to kiss her; to feel her soft mouth move with his, to feel her hands in his hair, to hold her close to his body…Rocket stopped thinking about what he wanted to do as it was just teasing. He wanted to do everything but quite frankly, he just couldn't find the courage to. Suddenly, an idea hit Tia and she knew that they wouldn't be caught by a camera or disturbed by bodyguards in this particular place and she hoped that that would help Rocket relax for a while at least so they could spend some quality time together and enjoy a good make-out session.

'Do you fancy going for a swim?' she asked wonderingly with her usual, adorable cheeky grin which made the handsome young man on top of her also grin.

'So you have swimming pool as well?' he questioned her, looking into his angel's stunning emerald orbs while she nodded happily and Rocket was quite happy to know this. 'Let's go then!' he exclaimed excitedly before getting off his angel and helping her up. Tia grabbed her stuff for the pool and got changed in the bathroom while Rocket quickly changed into his trunks in her room. As soon as he was ready to go, the bathroom door opened revealing Tia wearing a skimpy orange bikini. She wouldn't usually wear it but she wanted him (and her) to relax so she was willing to but in fact; she had made Rocket more nervous as he could now hardly breathe and continued to stare at his stunning white angel. Her petite frame was perfect and her curves fixed her body into perfect shape. Rocket continued to eye her body up and down; memorizing every detail, making sure it was vivid in his mind before Tia happened to notice him staring. She looked around as if to see if it was her he was staring at and when she couldn't see anything interesting enough to stare at, she knew she was right.

'It's just a bikini Rocket,' she informed him (even though she was secretly enjoying him eyeing her up and down as she didn't often get that. Guys just usually walked straight by her, bikini or no bikini) and Rocket knocked himself out of his trance only to realise he had been staring for a quite a long time and he guessed with a sexual look in his eyes. He immediately gulped and looked away from her gaze. He really had to work harder on eyeing her without getting caught.

'Yeah, I know,' was all he managed to stutter out after a few moments, trying to calm his breathing. She was so damn good looking. As Tia put away her clothes, she watched him carefully. He couldn't speak because he thought she was good looking. Tia knew it; she could feel it in her gut. The only problem was that she wouldn't quite believe it. Smiling, Tia spoke.

'C'mon, let's go,' Tia gestured, trying to break away from Rocket's embarrassing moment to which he was happy to oblige to as he walked along with his new girlfriend into his own new little fantasy...
