I was on the balcony when Will made his way to me. "Are you having fun?" I tried to break the silence as he stood next to me, close, but so that our skin didn't make contact.

Will screwed up his face "it's been interesting".

"How so?"

"Kye and I had a talk about last night".

I groaned "about that…"

Will looked into my eyes, concern showing in his own "what's wrong?"

I looked away from him, frightened that his feelings for me had changed. "I'm scared" I whispered, the same way I had to Ally before.

Will took my face in his hands and forced me to look at him. "About what?" his voice was so gentle that I hardly heard him.

"I….just" my words were coming out in sobs and I couldn't stop the tears from falling once again. "I don't want any thing to change! I don't want you to feel obligated to keep me."

Will laughed softly. "Why would I feel obligated? Jordy you're my best friend and I love you, I want to stay with you forever."

"Do you think we are ready for this?"

Concern re-entered Will's eyes "If you weren't ready you should have told me. I would have stopped."

I shook my head and kissed him softly "it's not that, I meant are we ready to change, from friends to…lovers?"

He placed his hands on my hips. "I think we are, but you can decide. If you want to wait a while I will. I want to be with you always"

I smiled. "I don't, I just want to make sure that we'll stay friends. I want to always be Jordan and Will"

"You will always be my best friend, but I don't want to lie." He took both my hands in his and I stared straight into his deep blue eyes. "I want to be more then friends, I want you to be mine and only mine, just like I want to be yours." I smiled and he kissed me. "Come on" he said "lets go down and meet the others, apparently there's going to be a storm soon."

We found the others in the living room. They'd all been to the beach and Liam was trying to put a shirt on over his sunburn with out hurting himself. I laughed loudly and felt Will put his arm around my waist. "I love you" he whispered in my ear.

I smiled my response, still unable to say it, when Kye said "look I know this whole relationship thing is new to you, but can you stop being so lovey-dovey. It's making me sick".

I smiled cheekily then battered my eyelids innocently at Will. "I don't think we are being lovey-dovey? Do you think we are snookums?"

"I didn't know we were being sickening. I guess I was just too focused on how much I was in love with you." Will replied rubbing his nose to mine in an Eskimo kiss.

Kye looked as if he really was going to be sick. "If you don't react Kye, they won't do it" Liam said "Will can you come help me find some candles, the power will probably go out if there's a storm."

Sure enough just as Will and Liam returned with the candles, the power blew. Will handed me the matches and I sat, lighting match after match, trying to get the candles to light.

Will laughed and I glared at him "if you're so much better then I am why don't you do it?"

"Because I love to see you suffer"

I stomped on his foot lightly and he kissed me while I handed him the matches. Sure enough he had them lit within a couple of seconds. He smiled at me arrogantly and I rewarded him with another stomp on his foot.

Ally laughed from her spot on the couch behind me "hey you know what would entertain us until the storm stops?" we all turned to look at her "Liam said there was a wine cellar in the basement".

The group agreed that someone should go down and get some alcohol. I remained silent and stared down at my feet.

Kye frowned at me. "Don't be such a prude Jordan, it's not like we're going to drink enough to get drunk."

"I'm not a prude" I said looking at Will for support.

"Certainly not" he said not realising the implications of his words.

The group laughed and I elbowed him in the ribs, before storming out of the room and down the corridor. Will followed close behind. "I didn't mean it like that and we both know it."

I turned and leant back against the wall while he put his hands on my hips. "What were you and Kye talking about before anyway?" I asked

Will smiled cheekily, "I'll show you some time"

I glared at him "you were talking about foreplay then?"

"Don't worry it wasn't about us, he just gave me some suggestions…"

I started to open the door that lead to the basement "like what?"

"I told you, I'll show you" He pushed past me. "I should go first,"

"Why?"

"To protect you"

"From what? Drop bears?"

"You never know" he said raising his arms in mock karate movements.

I laughed and he headed down the stairs, holding my hand as I followed close behind. When we reached the bottom I smelt that all too familiar, horrid stench. Stale wine.

"Smells awful down here" Will said turning and noting the look on my face. I tried to distract my self "what should we grab?"

Will shrugged "try to find something that looks nice."

Never having tried alcohol (and never planning to) I find this task quite difficult. So I searched the shelves pretending to care about what I was looking at. Wills torch blew out and I could only just make out the faint out line of his face.

"Are you ok?" he asked

"I'm fine" I took advantage of our situation and pushed him back against one of the wooden support poles. I kissed his neck softly then whispered in his ear "I think we should stay here for a while". My hand ran along the front of his jeans, causing a moan to escape his lips.

Will tried…and failed to be stern. "Jordy we have to go back"

"Hey!" Kye's voice called making me jump back and knock some of the bottles off the shelves.

There was a flicker of light coming from a torch and I could now see Kye's face. "You arse" I said "look what you made me do!"

Luckily none of the bottles had broken. Will took my hands "Jordan calm down. Kye what were you doing sneaking up on us like that?"

Kye looked apologetic. "You guys were gone for a while, so I wondered what was up. I figured your torch might have gone out, so I brought you one."

I was still spooked so I grabbed the nearest bottles to me "come on lets go".

Will lead the way up the stairs, with Kye apologising the whole way "its fine Kye, just don't do it again I nearly had a heart attack."

We re-entered the living room and I realised that I'd grabbed four bottles "Is this enough?" I asked

Ally raised her eyebrows "more then, I said we weren't going to get drunk".

I sighed and put the glasses on the coffee table "just come get it".

Ally poured every one, besides me, a glass and we all sat around talking about the first thing that came into our heads. Ally brought up the subject of first kisses.

"So who was your first kiss?" she asked me taking a sip of wine.

I felt my self blush. "Ash" I mumbled hoping no-one would actually hear.

Wills eyes grew wide "when was this?"

I looked at my knees "in grade two when you were sick. It was lunch time and he kissed me behind the playground."

We all laughed as Will was silent for a moment. "Wait" he said "that wasn't your first, don't you remember your sixth birthday?" I frowned I could hardly remember being six, let alone one event from it. He sighed and continued, "You fell over on the playground at McDonalds and scrapped your knee. I kissed it to make it feel better but you still cried, so I kissed you to make you feel better."

I smiled at the memory "oh yeah, you tasted like nacho's." I screwed up my face "how romantic"

We all laughed for a while before it was Ally's turn. "My first kiss was with this guy named Tyler. We where behind the soccer field and we were 12"

I smiled "aww that's so sweet"

"Not really, it was the first time I'd ever spoken to him, and all of a sudden he was kissing me."

I laughed "well I guess first kisses aren't meant to be that good"

Will pretended to be offended "hey I'd say that was an excellent first kiss"

I rolled my eyes "whatever, next time brush the nacho out first."

"Take that back Jordan"

I gave him a challenging look "no, I don't think I will"

"Take it back" as he said this I stood up and broke into a run, Will chased me around the room, purposely giving me a head start. I ran to the opposite side of the couch from him. We had a short standoff before Will stopped giving me a lead and chased me round to the front of the couch. He pushed me back onto the couch and landed on top of me, pinning my arms above my head. My hands were held with one hand and Will gently ran the other down my cheek. "Take it back" he repeated unleashing his hypnotic blue eyes on me. I cleared my throat lustily and nodded. He smiled "what was that?"

I tried to make my words coherent "I give up".

He shook his head "no, say you take it back".

"I take it back"

Will's smile grew wider. "Now say that it was the best first kiss you could have hoped for".

"It was the best first kiss I could have hoped for" I repeated, concentrating more on his body then on what I was saying.

"Now who's the best kisser?"

"Ash" I teased, trying not to get distracted by his body again. He kissed my neck and once again I was helpless. "Ok fine you're the best kisser".

Will smiled returned and he sat up, purposely running his hand along my thigh as he did so.

I sat up as well and curled into his arms. "Would you like me to stroke you're ego any more tonight?"

Nathalia laughed, reminding us both of the people around us "I'm sure he'd much rather you stroke something else…"

After that we all went up to our bedrooms. I took away the wine, to prevent anyone getting drunk. A little bit of wine was ok, but I knew how getting completely wasted ended up. The others complained at first, but after seeing the look on Will's face they were silent and decided it was time for bed.

Will and I were exhausted by the time we reached our room. I lay back in his arms, allowing his playing with my hair and soft humming lull me into sleep. I had never head the song before, it was his own tune, but that didn't matter, it was enough that I had him there to sing me to sleep.
