We sat on the beach and talked for hours reminiscing in the past and talking about the future. We never once spoke again about Tessa. I had made it pretty clear that I didn't want to hear about her. I loved having Ric beside me again, even if he was in love with someone else now. He still smelt the same and spoke in the same way. Everything about him was the same, apart from something that I couldn't quite lay my finger on. The sparkle that was once in his eyes wasn't there anymore and the usual bounce in his step had gone.
We laughed together as Ric told me about Colleen's new 'boyfriend' and Pippa's sudden interest in boys at the tender age of six years old.

There were nights when the wind was so cold
That my body froze in bed
If I just listened to it
Right outside the window
I finished crying in the instant that you left
And I can't remember where or when or how
And I banished every memory you and I had ever made

I had fought the urge to ask him, for the whole night until I couldn't wait any longer or I would burst. "Why didn't you write to me, Ric? Or phone me, or anything! I waited for you. I waited for three whole years, but you never got in contact. It wasn't over for me when I left Ric. But now… it's too late." Tears prickled in my eyes as I watched Ric's smile fade into a frown. I stood up and wiped the sand from my legs, before starting to walk back up towards the Surf Club. That was one huge mistake.
"I couldn't Mattie. It was too hard." I stopped walking and turned round to look at him. He started walking towards me, I tried to back away but something kept my feet glued to the spot. "Everything around me reminded me of you. Everything. I couldn't handle writing to you, 'cos it would just remind me of what I would never have again. I still love you, Matilda. A part of me will always love you." Thunder echoed through the sky as he finished that sentence and rain appeared from nowhere, absolutely soaking us both.

There were moments of gold
And there were flashes of light
There were things I'd never do again
But then they'd always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than any laws allow
Baby Baby...

"You…you love me," I stuttered. Our faces just centimetres apart now. I could feel his hot breath against my lips and the heat radiating off his body.
"YES!" he shouted. "It wasn't over! It still isn't over!" And with that our lips came crashing together and we kissed roughly and passionately. Making up for all those years we had lost. We explored the inside of each other's mouths with our tongues and moaned in pleasure as we did so. I jumped up and wrapped my legs around his waist. Oh god, I had missed this so much! I ran my fingers through his hair, wanting him so much. Every part of him. He smoothly moved his hands down my back and pulled me closer. I kissed him with all the strength I could muster as he started walking forwards, carrying me towards the caravan park.

There were those empty threats and hollow lies
And whenever you tried to hurt me
I just hurt you even worse
And so much deeper
But if I touch you like this
And if you kiss me like that
It was so long ago
But it's all coming back to me
If you touch me like this
And if I kiss you like that
It was gone with the wind
But it's all coming back to me
(It's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now)

Van 28. That was the caravan he had taken me to. He opened the door carefully with one hand as his other was occupied, holding me up. We hadn't stopped kissing the whole way there. The rain didn't bother us; although it beat against our faces so hard, we were too caught up in the moment to even notice. The wind blew our soaking wet hair to the side and our clothes stuck to our bodies with the damp.

Ric lay me down on the bed and our lips separated for a moment. I looked up at him towering over me and smiled, this was what I had dreamt about the whole time I had lived in France, this one moment. His lips were red and swollen from kissing me so much and his eyes were filled with lust, pure lust and love. Just as I imagined my own to look like as well. Our lips met once more in a love-fuelled kiss. I had completely forgotten that this was so wrong. That I shouldn't be doing this. All I could see right now was Ric and I, together. My desire – filled mind taking over.
His lips slowly moved down from my lips to my neck, and the rest of that night was history...

(It's all coming back to me now)
And when you kiss me like this
(It's all coming back to me now)
And when I touch you like that
(It's all coming back to me now)
If you do it like this
(It's all coming back to me now)
And if we…

A/N: Just watched 'The Notebook' yesterday and I kind of re-wrote the scene from that to put in my story (just in case you thought it was quite familiar)! I hope that wasn't too steamy for you :P lol! That's about as graphic as it will get, not really comfortable going further than that! Anyway, I've decided that I will be updating quite regularly this week since next week I'm away and there won't be any updates :( I've written more on my computer so I'm a bit ahead of you guys now. Please keep reviewing! It makes my day :)
