Twelth installment. I would have made this chapter a mature scene but I think I'll make the a little later in the story, perhaps on their night on the cruise so now you have been warned that this will change to an M in a few chapters. :D

Disclaimer: I don't own the characters, just my idea.

I glanced around the inside of Sophie's apartment room thingy as she busied herself at the sink with pouring us some wine. Very sophisticated, I thought with a small smile. Of course all of the rooms looked the same, except hers was bigger and had three bedrooms instead of two but apart from that, not much was different.

"So now she has a heart shape on her left thigh," Sophie finished and I turned to watch her as she walked over. She'd been telling me about how Rosie had drawn a heart on her leg in sun cream and gone out in the sun for a little too long.

"Jus' think of it as a temporary skin coloured tattoo," I said with a grin. She laughed and took a seat at my side on the sofa. I gave her a smile as I took my wine and leant back on the piece of furniture.

"Could have been a worse shape," Sophie said idly. I smirked over the top of my glass as I took a sip. Something told me if Sophie had been the one with the sun cream, the shape could have been a lot worse. We fell into a comfortable silence, just drinking our wine like proper holiday makers. Every so often her fingertips would brush over the back of my hand. I loved her touch, it sent shudders up my spine and one time when her fingers got a little too close to my thigh I nearly choked on my wine.

"Are you eighteen soon?" I asked her finally as one of my fingers hooked under hers. She leant forward and set her wine down on the small table.

"November," She said simply. Her spare hand moved to play with the bottom of her dress. I let out a soft breath and set my glass down as well before turning to face her. I cupped her cheek and leant forward, brushing my lips over hers.

"Whas wrong, Soph?" I whispered. She just watched me with those brilliant eyes, drawing me in.

"I was gonna ask yas somet," She confessed shyly. I frowned and felt my eyebrows furrow.

"Go on then," I prompted, allowing my thumb to graze over her cheek bone.

"Well, like, I brought these tickets to some things," She said softly. I nodded for her to go on. "An' I was wonderin' if you wanted to come with me," She blinked and bit her lip. "Ya don't have ta,"

"Where are these tickets for?" I asked. Her face seemed to light up at the possibility that I might actually go with her. It made me smile as well.

"Well there's some to this theme park thing jus' outta town called Terra Mitica so I thought maybe we could go there sometime, like we can go anytime between now an' when we leave an' that," She blurted. The fact she was so nervous was a little bit sweet.

"Soph," I murmured as I pressed a kiss to her lower lip. "Jus' ask me without tremblin' like a leaf, I'm bound ta say yes if it means I'm with you," I told her honestly. She'd know if I didn't want to do it. Wait, why was I saying that? God, what was this a romance novel? Don't get ahead of yourself, Sian, I warned myself.

"But Rosie'll probably wanna tag along for that one so," She paused. "So, I thought we could go to this place a little out of town called Guadalest Valley. It's like really scenic an' there's gift shops and things," I smiled at her and tucked some hair behind her ear. Since I'd been in Costa Blanca I hadn't really had the chance to see much of Spanish scenery and culture apart from my hotel and some stereotypical, attractive Spaniards.
"Then I thought we could take a cruise,"

"A cruise?" I asked. She nodded. I'd never been on a cruise before and didn't know what to expect. I knew Sophie had been on one with her mum and sister on this holiday alone. I smirked and kissed her again. "I'd love to,"

She squealed and leapt to her feet, nearly knocking me backward. She came back a few seconds later with a leaflet and held it out for me to take.

"It goes each morning and you spend the day and evening in Ibiza before getting it back at midnight. It takes four hours on the way there and, like, double that on the way back because it does like a night scenic thing," She recited as if she knew the brochure word for word. I just watched her for a little while before standing up. I set the leaflet down and picked up my wine, taking a swig. I soon set that down too and let my hands rest on Sophie's shoulders.

"I would love to go with you," I told her quietly before wrapping my arms around her and pulling her into a hug.

I went back to my apartment that night to find my mum sat on the sofa with a jug of margarita, listening to a Spanish band on the radio that I couldn't understand the lyrics of. She gave me a smile and I gave one back. It was weird to see my mum at home but it was far gone midnight. I told her about meeting Sophie and she listened, telling me how she'd made a friend on holiday when she was younger too. Despite the fact she hadn't met the Webster girl personally she seemed happy to allow me to go with her on this cruise and it was nice to know my mum was beginning to trust my judgement.

I had a shower after I'd packed a night bag with everything I'd need for our little escapade across the islands. From what I knew from Ibiza...well I didn't know much about it apart from the fact it was so well known for being the club scene that it was. I towel dried my hair and adjusted it in a way I thought was suitable before grabbing my bag and walking out to the living room. I set the bag on the side so I would know where it would be tomorrow. Bidding my mum goodnight I left and made my way back to Sophie's room.

She opened the door within seconds of me knocking and just grinned.

"Took you a while," She muttered quietly. I gave her an apologetic smile and a small shrug of my shoulders.

"Sorry, I 'ad a shower," I told her in the same manner of voice. She nodded and took my hand, closing the door behind us.

"What'd she say?" Sophie asked as we made our way through to her bedroom.

"She's fine with it," I reassured her, chuckling.

"Good," She whispered. I watched in silence as she stepped back and reached behind herself, unzipping her dress. I couldn't take my eyes away. She threw back the duvet covers and slid under them. I let out a soft breath and stepped forward, moving one hand to unbutton my skirt. We'd already seen each other in our underwear in our shenanigans at the pool so it didn't bother me much as I pulled off my shirt and slid into the bed beside her.

Her arm gave me a gentle squeeze as it slid around my waist. I chuckled and turned my head to try and look at her but she'd already drifted off to sleep.

I just love you all so much :D Revieeewwss.
