Chapter 1 – (Wanna Get To Know You) That Good
This is a mini one-shot which takes place in my other fic's universe Pretty Green Eyes... It's not necessary for this story but would allow an understanding of what's already happened :) Will only be 3 parts to this, thanks for reading and please review x
Connie woke up to the sun shining on her face in the unfamiliar room. It took her a few minutes to remember where she was before seeing Cal standing out on the balcony. She picked up Cal's shirt that was lying on the floor and slipped her arms into it leaving it unbuttoned.
Connie made her way through the bedroom to stand behind Cal looking out over the beach. "Thank you. You didn't have to do this for me." Cal turned around to face her. "I wanted to, why wouldn't I? Hot weather with a beautiful view no matter where I'm looking." Connie tiptoed to kiss him before turning around and walking inside. "What are we doing today anyway?" Cal smiled "Well there is something I've wanted to do since we got here but I don't know if you'll enjoy it."
After getting changed and having something for breakfast the couple walked out onto the streets of Tenerife with the sun beating down on them. Connie was wearing a pair of shorts and a light string top with a bikini underneath while Cal was in shorts and a shirt.
They walked down to the seafront where Cal could see the boats docked. "So you sure you're up for this?" She smiled and pulled his hand as they walked along the beach. Connie laughed when she saw Cal's face as they approached the jet skis, she was sure she'd regret this but it would be fun.
Cal looked over to Connie who was being put into a small life jacket which they used as a precaution. Cal was already wearing his and almost jumping onto the jet. "So I guess you've decided you're driving?" He laughed and winked as she carefully climbed onto the back. Cal listened as the guides told them everything he needed to know before letting them go. Connie held on around Cal's waist slightly regretting the decision already.
Cal started off across the water picking up speed as they went. Connie slowly loosened up and began to look up over Cal's shoulder. They were half way across the water when he turned a corner making Connie lose her balance. She almost fell in but Cal had managed to grab her hand keeping her on the jet. "Have I ever told you how much I hate you?" Cal laughed before starting the jet again.
They didn't realise how long they were out on the ocean for until reaching the beach again. It was well past lunch but neither were hungry yet. "You up for a swim? You seemed ready earlier?" Connie pulled a face at Cal referencing her almost fall from the Jet Ski. Connie pulled her hair back into a bun on top of her head as Cal pulled her forward to the water. This time it was Cal that fell over in the water leaving Connie laughing, that was until she had a face full of water thrown at her. "Oh you are going to regret ever doing that Cal!"
She ran into the water after him as he dived under and began swimming away. By the time she got to him they were already over waist deep in the water. "I'd love to bring Grace here sometime, she'd love it-" "Maybe we can, who said we can't come back here?" Connie smiled as Cal pulled her closer to him. "I think it would be good having a holiday with Grace in the summer here." Connie had her arms around Cal's neck as he lifted her through the water.
This only lasted a minute until Connie was leaning up to push Cal under the water. He came back up for breath to see Connie laughing. "I told you you'd regret it…" She was laughing so much she couldn't get away from him before he pulled her back and under the water with him.
They were in paradise here, and it was only the first day. Neither of them wanted the day to end, let alone the break they had here.

Cal was waking up when he felt the breeze blow through the open balcony doors. He lifted his head up to see Connie still lying the other side of him asleep. It was so hot that they had slept with a sheet over them to begin with but had pushed it off half way through the night. Cal leant over and kissed Connie's neck resting his hand on her side. She began to wake up and smiled moving her hand on top of his. "I could get used to waking up like this…" Connie rolled onto her back reaching her hand around Cal's shoulder as he leant above her smiling.
An hour or so later Connie sat up with her light dressing gown around her before walking out onto the balcony. "So I've booked a table for later but we've got a couple hours before that to do something." Connie turned around to face him as he wandered out to her. She wrapped her arms around his waist and looked up to him. "I don't even know where to start with things that we could do here." Cal smiled leaning down and kissing Connie.
They settled on walking around the town for the afternoon before going for dinner. They walked out onto the street hand in hand and headed along the road. There were so many things around that it was hard to take it all in.
The day went quickly with Connie spending most of it laughing at Cal who seemed intent on trying on everything that people were trying to sell along the street. At one point he had stopped and put on some huge sun glasses and a large hat before smiling as Connie took a photo of him to show Grace.
Following several hours in the sun they returned to the hotel to get changed before dinner. Cal walked out onto the balcony after having gotten changed into a pair of black jeans and a shirt. Connie was still in the bathroom getting changed into a short black dress. It left her shoulders bare and fitted her perfectly. She slipped her feet into a pair of black high heels and stepped into the bedroom where she could see Cal waiting outside. "Hey, are you ready?" Cal spun round to see Connie standing there with her hair back in a messy bun and black dress. "Woah… Connie, it still shocks me how amazing you look when we go out." She felt herself blushing as Cal came over and took her hand leading her from the room.
They walked along the illuminated seafront towards the little restaurant they were eating at. There were string lights hanging all the way along and music playing quietly from inside the restaurant. "This is lovely, how did you even know about this place?" Cal told her about a conversation he had with the guy from the jet skis the day before.
They seemed to be at the table forever but they never stopped talking. After a while they decided to vacate the table and head towards the larger bar area around the side. The conversation never stopped and the drinks were flowing. All night photos were being taken by a photographer who worked there. At one point he stopped beside Connie and Cal and asked them to stand together and smile. Cal stood behind Connie with his arms wrapped around her waist and she rested her hands on top of his smiling.
After a while Cal stood up and pulled on Connie's hands. "Come on-" "No, no, no… No Cal I don't dance!" She laughed as he continued pulling her towards the dance floor where several other people were dancing around. He put his hands on her waist and she put hers around his neck moving side to side in time with him. "See, it's not that hard. Anyway, I love dancing with you like this." She smiled and moved closer to him resting her head on his chest.
As the night drew to a close they left the restaurant and began walking back to their hotel. "I had a lovely night tonight, thank you." Connie smiled holding onto his hand walking back. "I had a good time too. It's nice to get away from everything for a few days." She smiled as they got back to their room and retired to bed.
