A/N; I just wanted to thank those of you that reviewed the first chapter! Didn't expect any, so I was shocked. Here's the next update, sorry it is only short; the first few chapters are just fillers until it really starts... Enjoy! xxx
Joey's POV
We all got off the plane and filtered into taxis that then took us to the Plaza Hotel. We sorted our rooms and settled in before a lot of us headed down to the pool.
I caught up with Alice and Abi as they were making their way down. 'Lauren not coming?' I enquired.
'She's having a nap I think Joe' Alice answered. 'Oh shit, I forgot my sunglasses, they're in my room'
'I'll go Al,' I said as I turned around and headed towards her, Lauren and Abi's room.
I knocked on the door and about a minute later Lauren answered, she smiled as she turned round and invited me in.
'What can I do for you Joey?' she asked as she sat down on the bed. She had changed into a pair of denim shorts and a tank top that rested just above her short line.
'Erm, Alice left her sunglasses' I replied nervously. Why was I so nervous? 'Are you coming to the pool?'
'Mhm, give me 5 minutes, I'll come with you' she said standing up and heading into the bathroom.
I found Alice's sunglasses and sat down on one of the beds waiting for Lauren to change into her bathing suit. About 3 minutes later she came out smiling and ran round collecting her things. We both headed off down to the pool where we caught up with Alice and Abi.
Lauren's POV.
'Hey guys! Joey convinced me to come, who needs sleep?' I said placing my things on a sunbed next to Alice.
Joey smiled awkwardly as I skipped off to the bar. 'A cocktail please' I asked sweetly.
'Sure beautiful' the barman replied winking. I giggled and glanced over at the others, catching Joey looking. He blushed slightly and turned away. What was his problem? I returned to the chair with my cocktail and began soaking up the rays.
About 10 minutes later, Joey got up, removed his top and turned to me. 'You coming for a swim?'
'Erm, maybe in a bit' I said smiling. He nodded and wandered off to the deep pool. He was wearing long-ish maroon swimming trunks, tied at the front. His hair looked almost windswept, but I'd never noticed how muscly he was before. He glanced back, and it was my turn to blush.
Later on that day, Alice and Abi decided to go for a walk into town. 'Nah I'll stay here, I'm too comfy' I said as Joey returned from the bar handing me a cocktail.
'What's going on?' he asked as I smiled.
'We're going into town, wanna come?' Alice asked
'Nah, I'll stay,' he said glancing and me first, 'I like it here'
They nodded and carried on into town.
'Thanks for the drink Joey' I said as I looked up and smiled.
I was glad Joey had stayed with me, I don't know why. I wasn't worried about staying on my own, if it was anyone else I wouldn't have minded, but the fact Joey chose to stay made my heart flutter and I have no idea why. He lay there next to me, without a top and his hair wet but sticking up, the sun making his skin glow as he noticing me looking, he looked back at me and smiled.
'What?' he asked
'Oh, nothing' I replied quickly, blushing
He giggled, 'Sure Lauren, whatever you say'
'Come on then!' I said as I got up and jumped into the pool splashing him as I came up.
'Right, you're in for it now' he got up and jumped in too, we began to splash each other more and more and I began to cough. He noticed and swam quickly over to me.
'Hey you okay?' he said concerned
'Yeah I'm fine,' I chuckled splashing him back slightly.
He looked at me and giggled, just as I realised how close we were standing, he reached towards me and moved a strand of hair from across my face. I couldn't help but smile. We stood in silence for a moment just as I was hit with a rubber ring.
'Ouch' I exclaimed as I saw Oscar jump in next to me. Joey and I quickly stepped apart and looked at each other awkwardly; he smiled as though to say, 'next time' although I wasn't entirely sure what he meant, but nevertheless it made my heart melt.
I turned my attention to Oscar as Joey climbed out the pool and went to sit by my parents. I watched as he covered himself with a towel, a part of me kind of wishing he hadn't. What was happening?
