Aaron woke up the next day and he pulled on some underwear and jeans, before he walked outside to the pool. "Having a morning swim?"
Robert looked at Aaron and he smiled "I woke up early and I just needed a swim".
"You didn't watch me sleep? And you weren't there to say good morning to me, like you always are?" Aaron asked though it was more a statement
Robert swam to the side of the pool and lent an the slabbed edge, "Morning, babe".
Aaron bent down and kissed Robert on the lips, "Morning to you too, babe".
Robert climbed out the pool and embraced his husband, hugging him tightly. "Sorry, I jus need a hug"
Aaron smiled and he hugged Robert "A bit clingy today?"
"Yeah, I just can't shake the fact that I could have lost you so many times." Robert rested his chin on Aaron's shoulder.
Aaron kissed Robert's neck "But you haven't, I'm still here and I always will be."
Robert nuzzle into Aaron's neck "I love you, Aaron."
Aaron smiled "I love you too, you soppy Sudgen".
Robert pulled back from his hug with Aaron after a moment "Jeez, I'm loosing my edge!"
Aaron scoffed "Yeah you are".
Robert lightly punched Aaron's arm "No need to rub it in though".
"Sorry, you're rather clingy today though." Aaron chuckled.
"That's because every time I'm away from you for more than ten seconds, I think back to all the times I could have lost you. I hate the fact that if things had been different then I could've lost you. That scares me" Robert Admitted.
Aaron wrapped his arms around Robert's waist "I think that it's very romantic when you hold me. I'm glad that you can talk to me like this".
Robert kissed Aaron "I like that fact that you let me hold you like this".
Aaron smiled at Robert and his husband smiled at him. They then had breakfast and they discussed what they could do for the day. Of course Robert suggested: skinny dipping, going back to bed, having a shower together or playing some games in the games room. Aaron would just roll his eyes and he got an idea.
"Get your other trunks and a towel. Pack some clothes as well." Aaron said as he walked into the bedroom, and he packed some clothes and he put his swimming trunks on. He then put some clothes on and he packed a towel.
Robert walked into the room and he grabbed a towel, and he put his other pair of swimming trunks on. "So... what are we doing?" he asked as he put some clothes on.
"That's for me to know and for you to find out" Aaron smirked. "Call a cab for us. I'll give the driver directions".
Robert called for a taxi and they waited for one hour, before their taxi pulled up outside. They walked outside and they got into the cab.
Aaron looked at the driver "Llévanos al mejor lugar para bucear."
The driver smiled "Muy bien señor. Disfruta la vistas" (Alright sir, enjoy the views). He then started the vehicle.
"I didn't know that you can speak Spanish" Robert looked at Aaron.
Aaron smiled "It's a hidden talent".
Robert held Aaron's hand and he smiled at his husband "You never cease to amaze me".
After a few minutes of driving the taxi driver dropped Aaron and Robert off at their destination. "No vaya más allá de 20 pies. Y mantener las piernas rectas. Hay rocas a los lados del borde de las aguas. Puedes verlos con claridad" (Do not go any further up than 20 feet. And keep your legs straight. There are rocks at the sides of the waters edge. You can see them clearly).
Aaron nodded before he paid the driver and he walked up the cliff with Robert. Aaron could read the signs and he stopped when they were 20 feet up. "Here we are".
Robert was a little confused "Where are we?"
Aaron took his clothes off and he walked over to the cliffs edge. "That's pretty clear".
Robert walked over to Aaron and he realised what the plan was "You've got to be fucking kidding me. No way I'm jumping from up here".
Aaron smirked "Then you'll just have to watch me then".
"That's fine by me" Robert sat down.
Aaron rolled his eyes and he took a deep breath before he slowly exhaled "See ya in a bit" he then jumped off of the cliff "Woohoo!" he whooped as he plummeted down into the water.
Robert heard a splash and he looked over the edge "Aaron!"
Aaron swam to the surface "That was absolutely fantastic! You gotta try it!"
"Nah, I'm good thanks!" Robert yelled to Aaron.
Aaron swam to the seabed and he walked up the cliff again. "I have to do that again."
Robert quickly took his clothes off "Wait for me!" Robert walked over to Aaron.
Aaron looked at Robert "Change your mind?"
Robert looked at Aaron "I just don't want you to be on your own. But I'm terrified".
Aaron held Robert's hand "Keep your legs straight and jump as far as you can. It feels like you're flying".
Robert gulped "I hate heights".
Aaron smiled "Just jump for it and hold your breath. Keep your legs straight and hold onto my hand".
Robert nodded "Okay."
Aaron squeezed Robert's hand to reassure him "On three. 1… 2… 3!"
Aaron and Robert jumped off of the edge, they were holding hands.
"Aahhh!" Robert screamed but he quickly breathed in before they hit the water.
(Splash!) They plummeted into the clear green and blue water. They both felt alive and they swam to the surface.
"That was amazing!" Robert laughed.
Aaron smiled and he swam towards Robert. He cradled the older man's face in his hands and he kissed Robert. He then pulled back and he looked at Robert "I'm so proud of you".
"Thanks" Robert smiled and he kissed Aaron "I can't believe that I just did that. It was as if I was flying".
"I told you that it felt great didn't I?" Aaron smiled.
Robert smirked as he stared lovingly into his husband's eyes, "You sure did".
They both share a kiss before going back and jumping again. This continued for awhile before they head back to the villa. When they arrived back at the villa they walked into a kitchen and Aaron made himself a smoothie.
Aaron made a pineapple and mango smoothie, and he poured himself and Robert a cup each. He walked into the living room and he handed Robert one of the cups.
"Thanks babe", Robert said before he gulped down the entire smoothie.
"Woah, thirsty eh?" Aaron joked and then he drank some of his shrink.
Robert smiled and laughed, "Yeah my throat is kind of sore". He said in a raspy voice.
Aaron thought for a few seconds before he smirked, "I think I know a really good smoothie to help with that".
Robert grasped hold of his neck "Okay".
Aaron put his cup on the table and he walked over to Robert "Aww, I don't like it when my pretty boy's poorly".
Robert smiled and he stood up "I don't like it when you're poorly either".
Aaron kissed Robert "Sit down and I'll be back in five minutes".
Robert smirked "Will you be wearing briefs and shirtless?"
Aaron rolled his eyes "That's all you think about".
Robert wrapped his arms around Aaron's waist "Not always. I love you so much and you're just so gorgeous."
Aaron smiled "If you say so. Now sit down and I'll be back in a few minutes".
Robert kissed Aaron and he then sat down whilst Aaron walked to the kitchen. He was sad that Aaron was so low in confidence "Why can't you just see what I see?" he asked himself. He knew that Aaron was self conscious but he wished that he would understand how amazing he really was.
Minutes later Aaron walked into the living room, with a glass filled with bright red liquid. Aaron was very careful not to put it near his face as he gave it to Robert, "Here, drink up".
Robert took the glass "Thanks" he drank contents of the glass and put the glass down on the table. A few seconds went by before Robert's face turned bright red and tears streamed down his face, "A-Aaron! W-what did you put in that!" he gasped as he waved his hand about frantically.
Aaron pretended to think as he pulled an innocent face, "Two chillies and a pint of water?"
Robert rraced into the kitchen and he poured himself a glass of milk; which he gulped down as fast as possible. "Are you insane?" Robert exclaimed
"Maybe?" Aaron laughed. "But doesn't your throat feel better?" He asked.
Robert was about to make an angry remark when his face softened, "Yeah... it does!"
Aaron stood up and he walked into the kitchen "That smoothie recipe had helped a few of the Dingles. Mind you… we can take it".
Robert looked at Aaron "The only heat that I like is when you're on top of me. Or when we shower together".
Aaron nudged Robert's shoulder with his own "I already knew that" he chuckled.
After a few hours Aaron and Robert had dinner and played cards for a while, before they both had showers and they got ready for bed. It was a very warm night so they were just wearing boxers. Robert had gone to get a drink whilst Aaron laid down on the bed. Robert walked into the kitchen as he formed a plan on how he was gonna get Aaron back for the smoothie trick. Robert walked into the bedroom and he saw that Aaron had his eyes closed. He crept over and the bed and he crawled onto it.
"Payback time!" Robert laughed as he started to tickle Aaron.
Aaron opened his eyes and he started to laugh as he squirmed around "Rob! Stop!"
"Nope!" Robert laughed and he tickled Aaron.
After a minute Robert stopped tickling Aaron and he looked down at his husband "We're even now".
Aaron sat up and he pushed Robert off of him "Jesus that tickled, idiot!"
Robert smiled "That was the whole point".
Aaron laid down with a sigh, he smiled and he started to laugh "You're a real pain sometimes".
Robert leaned over Aaron and he looked down at his husband "Is that a bad thing?"
Aaron put his arms around Robert's neck "No. It's one of the many reasons why I love you".
Robert smiled and he kissed Aaron. He then got into bed and they snuggled up together. They made each other feel safe but free, not even Ed or Gordon or anyone else could ever tamper with that safety. They were free enough to just fly away with each other.
