AN: The girls enjoy a nice day out with Riley before they discover a paparazzi-like stalker...

Waking before lunch on a Saturday never made me feel good, I don't like being up early on a day I could sleep in.

I lifted my head a little and looked down my body at Tori, wrapped across my chest and legs, a small smile creeping to my lips as I used one hand to brush sleep from her face, and my other to slowly rub her back.

"Tori?"

"What?" She sleepily asked, barely managing to lift her head to look at me.

"Do we want to take Riley to the beach today?" I asked.

"Mhm, yeah. Sounds good, babe. Another hour of sleep would be nice too." Her head dropped back to my chest, and I knew she was already out by the way her whole body relaxed into mine.

She called me babe…

My pulse pounded through my body, I took a few deep breaths, attempting to calm- but failing -my racing heart and the butterflies that had erupted in my stomach.

I reached for my phone that I kept tucked beneath my pillow when I didn't have it charging and set an alarm for an hour's time before allowing my body to relax and attempt to get a little more sleep.

Especially when I noticed it was only seven-thirty.

Sitting on a towel under the over-sized umbrella as I watched Tori and Riley make a large, very detailed sandcastle was relaxing.

We'd only recently gotten to the beach, and as soon as we were set up- they started building.

It was already almost as tall as Riley, and up to Tori's chest. Looking up, I smiled as she caught my stare and she moved towards me.

"Hi," she whispered as she bent down, pressing a light kiss to my lips.

"Hmm, hi. You okay?"

"Yeah, the beach was a great idea, thanks for bringing us."

"I promised. I keep my promises."

Riley ran the three steps over to us, kicking sand up as he moved and grabbed Tori's hand, attempting to drag her back into the sun.

"I'm coming, Riley," she said with a laugh and moved back to their castle after she gave me one last peck on the lips.

"Do we want to get ice cream after we finish here?" I asked them.

They both nodded.

"Yes," Tori said excitedly.

I watched them for a while, leaning back on my elbows and soaking up the warmth of the sun.

Everything felt right.

Being with Tori felt right.

I knew my feelings for Tori were growing each day, cause I actually found myself at times wondering of a future with her.

Working my future around her goals.

I knew I shouldn't, it was ridiculous to think about such things. But damn if I didn't have her, I'd be completely lost without her.

I watched Tori grab a napkin and wipe some ice cream off of Riley's cheek and nose, my heart picking up the pace as they smiled at each other.

I couldn't help but feel, and think, like she could be everything my future needs.

I finished off my ice cream and excused myself for the bathroom, Tori only glanced up at me with a smile that made my heart skip and stutter before I walked into the ice cream shop and headed for the bathrooms.

I looked in the mirror as I washed my hands, noticing a smile I didn't even realise I had. I tried to force it down, but couldn't make the smile go away.

I grabbed some paper towel, wetting the edge of it before dabbing the edges of my lips and shutting the taps off.

I tossed the towel into the trash as I stepped back out of the bathroom and headed for the exit, smiling even bigger at the sight of Tori and Riley laughing and pulling faces as the shutter on Tori's phone clicked away while she took pictures of them.

I grabbed Tori's phone and turned the camera around gesturing for them to get closer before snapping a photo of them both together, bright smiles and teeth on show.

I sent the photo to myself before handing Tori's phone back to her.

I pulled my phone out as it chimed with the message, saving the photo to my phone along with setting it as the photo on my lock screen.

On Sunday, things were just as quiet in the house as I woke to Tori playing with my hair and the cool air hitting my bare skin where the blanket had slipped.

I turned my head, looking up at her, but her attention was focused on her phone completely.

"You okay?" I mumbled, turning to face her body, wrapping my arm around her waist.

"We're all over The Slap," she said. "Again."

"What?" I lifted my head, trying to see her phone from the awkward angle I was on.

She turned her phone, a photo of us kissing at the beach, and another of us after lunch having ice cream with Riley, Tori's and my free hand on the table, holding tight.

"What the hell? Who took those?"

"It's a hidden profile, but everyone's shared it."

"Hidden? How's that possible."

"I have no idea. But it's a serious stalker thing, that's creepy."

Her phone chimed with the telltale noise that she'd been tagged in something and she tapped on it, a photo popping up with her and I kissing by my front door last night before we went inside.

"Tori, I'm so sorry… I know you didn't want people to find out right now."

"I'm fine… are you okay?" She asked.

I nodded, biting my lip before sitting up fully and pressing my lips to hers.

"I'm okay, I'm here no matter what anyone says."

"Me too, Jade," she said softly, kissing me again before tossing her phone to the end of the bed.

I shifted, leaning back against the headboard thinking she was going to get up as she pushed the blankets off our legs, but instead, she grabbed the headboard on either side of me, straddling my lap before kissing me gently.

I smiled against her lips, my hands coming to rest on her ass.

"You're so beautiful," she whispered, making my heart skip as she pressed light kisses all over my face.

"You're gorgeous," I whispered back to her, running my hands up her sides slowly, feeling her shiver beneath my touch as I slid my nails down her ribs.

"Jade?"

"Yeah?"

"I … I love you. You don't have to say it back unless you're ready, but I just wanted you to know how I feel."

"I feel very strongly about you, I know I do, you make me feel things I've never felt, but, I don't know if I'm ready to say those words."

"That's okay," she said before she kissed me. "I just… I needed to tell you."

My heart was racing so hard I swear she could feel it through my skin as she slid her hands to rest on my collarbones.

"Can I tell you whenever I feel like it?" She asked softly.

I nodded, finding words hard to come by. My mouth had, once again, gone dry.

"Wh-" I cleared my throat, licking my lips before trying again. "What would you like to do today?"

"Do you want to go out?" She asked.

"Where?"

She pressed a kiss to my jaw before nipping at my earlobe.

"How about you and I go to lunch," she whispered, her lips pressing to the other side of my neck. "A picnic maybe? Or maybe a movie?" Her kisses moved down my neck as she slid down my legs a little, kissing a trail down my chest, stopping briefly in lie with my breasts.

"A m-movie?" I asked through a hitching breath.

She nodded, her teeth dragging along the inner side of my boob before she latched onto my nipple, causing me to moan out, a hand coming up to tangle in her hair and cup the back of her head almost instantly.

"Sounds good," I whimpered, arching a little away from the headboard as she pushed my thighs apart enough for her hand to get in and circle against my clit.
