I promised a second chapter today.. so here it is. It's a little shorter than some of the others but i may be persuaded to update again today! Aren't you all lucky ;-)

Thank you for the reviews, i'm so glad the last chapter was liked! i was nervous aha:') Enjoy! xxx

'We better get ready soon, and I'm sure Abi and Alice will be back from town shortly.' He sighed as I felt him kiss the top of my head.

I never wanted to move, I felt safe and loved and comforted. I had no shame lying here naked next to Joey, who'd of thought? I smiled to myself before realising something.

'How did you know Alice and Abi weren't in?' I asked confused.

'I saw them leave as I came up in the lift' He admitted, 'Not that they would have stopped me if they were here' I knew he was smirking.

'I've never felt like this before Joey' I sighed, feeling like I had got a great weight off my chest.

'Me either baby, you've changed me' I looked up at him and kissed his lips gently.

We lay there for another 10 minutes before we really had to move, I couldn't deal with Abi and Alice walking in and seeing us. I shuddered at the thought. We both began to get dressed. How were we going to explain this to anyone? We can't keep it secret forever can we? I'm thinking about this like we'll do it forever. Maybe we will. No, the novelty will wear off soon, Joey won't want me forever. Do I want him forever? Am I in love with him? I stopped at the realisation and looked over at Joey who noticed me staring.

'You okay babe?' he asked smiling.

I nodded and smiled back, there was no way I was going to come out with this now. He'd run a mile.

'I guess I better get back to get sorted for later, see you in a bit beautiful.' Joey explained as he walked over and kissed me quickly before retreating back to his room leaving me stunned.

Joey's POV

I made my way back to my room to get changed for dinner with a thousand and one emotions running through me. Lauren had changed me; there was no doubt about that. No girl had ever given me this feeling. This is what I'd been missing. She was my cousin, so what? It felt so right and right now I didn't want this to end.

I reached my room and collapsed on my bed covering my face with my hands. What was I feeling? I shook it off and began to get ready for dinner, choosing a pale blue shirt and beige trousers which I rolled up at the bottom. About half an hour later I was ready and decided to go down to reception to wait for everyone.

Lauren's POV

'You look amazing Lauren!' Abi squealed. She and Alice had returned just after Joey had left with bags and bags of shopping. They had bought me a dress too, it was a royal blue, Abi said it brought out my eyes.. yeah right. It was strapless and it fitted perfectly, finished above my knees.

'I'm sure dad will have something to say Abs' I joked as I looked at my reflection in the mirror. Alice had curled my hair, but I managed to let them do my own makeup. I hated all this fuss, but I was grateful nevertheless. I couldn't erase thoughts of Joey. I tingled and butterflies flew in my stomach every time I remembered earlier on, I wanted to scream with excitement.

'You ready Lauren?' Alice asked as she walked out of the bathroom. I nodded and grabbed my purse making our way down to reception.

We approached the family, who were also waiting for Mum and Sharon who had gone back up to fetch the camera. I scanned the group looking for Joey but noticed he wasn't there either when I felt my phone buzz.

Meet me out the back, need to talk to you

J xxx

My heart pained as I read the message, why did he need to talk to me?

'Back in a minute guys, just need to check something' I lied as I turned to walk towards the pool around the back of the hotel. I noticed Joey stood around the corner and looked directly at him.

'Hey beautiful – Wow, you look amazing' he said stunned.

'What's going on Joey?' I asked confused, dismissing his compliment.

'Here' he reached out his hand and put a wrapped box into mine. I looked up at him confused and he nodded insisting I opened it. I un-wrapped it carefully, opening the box when my jaw dropped.

'Joey, when?' I stuttered in shock, realising it was the bracelet from the airport that I'd liked when we went shopping just before we got our flight.

He shrugged, looking slightly embarrassed and I threw my arms around his neck before leaning in to kiss him gently.

'You said you liked it, so I bought it when you weren't looking' he blushed slightly and smiled.

'Thank you' I said simply as he took the bracelet and fixed it around my wrist. 'Wait, you bought this before any of this happened..' I said admiring the bracelet.

He shrugged, 'When we first kissed, I told you I'd wanted to kiss you since we left London'

I smiled, leaning up to kiss him again just as I heard Abi calling my name. 'Shit' I stated.

'Coming Abs' I shouted back, before retreating back to reception trying to compose myself. What did this mean to Joey? We really did need to talk.

Please R&R, see you again today maybe ;-)
