BARBADOS

The sun was shining bright in the cloudless, blue sky, warming the white sand beneath the group's feet. Dougie and Harry were on jet skis, Kimberley was tanning with Danny rubbing lotion on her back, Dee was building a sandcastle, and Olivia and Cam were sitting in the shade watching their friends.

Well, at least Olivia was. Cam was actually checking out all the half-naked girls on the beach.

"Oh, Cam," Olivia turned to face her amazing boyfriend.

"Huh, what?" He broke out of his trance to face her.

"I'm so glad you came on this trip," Olivia continued, "I love you so much and I'm so happy you're back in my life. I'm glad I gave you a second chance, you really are an amazing boyfriend."

Dee almost threw up. Olivia and Cam were still within earshot and she couldn't believe Olivia was piling crap like that onto Cam the uber-jerk. Liv didn't know but a few months ago, Dougie had confided in her that Cam had gone to see a bunch of sluts at a strip club. Dee knew Cam was shady but she and Dougie had agreed not to tell Liv anything. For one, she'd never believe them. Second, she'd get really mad and possibly ditch friends for a douche.

"Yeah, me too baby," Cam smiled. Getting back with Olivia had helped him further his career as a musician. He was thinking of how to let Olivia down easy, but he didn't know how. Oh well, for now things were jut getting better and better, "Um, I'm going to go to the bathroom. Go help Dee or something, kay?"

Cam spotted a fit brunette tanning a couple feet behind them; close enough to see but far enough for Olivia not to notice.

"Yeah, good idea!" Olivia bounced over and started helping Dee with her castle. Dee looked over at Cam; he was chatting up another girl, of course. Was a sleaze-bag.

Dougie had been having the time of his life skiing with Harry. The trip was hard for him, the love of his life being with her pig of a boyfriend. He had to restrain himself from pounding Cam's face in every time he touched Liv, kissed her. But what he saw in that precise moment was too much. About 20 feet onshore was Cam, rubbing lotion on some brunettes back, whispering in her ear, twirling her hair. Dougie lost all control of his jet ski. He flew off into the clear, teal water with a loud splash.

"Oh my God, Dougie!" Olivia shrieked. She ran into the water after her best friend. She didn't want Dougie to kill himself on vacation. Danny had slowed down on his and hopped in the water to pull out his friend. Olivia stayed in the shallow end while Danny helped pull Dougie out. The boys had been out in pretty deep water when Dougie fell. Olivia felt sick. Dougie seemed knocked unconscious.

"Liv, didn't you take CPR?" Dee remembered her friend telling her once that in order to babysit as a teen she had to take a huge amount of FIrst Aid classes.

"Oh yeah! Everyone, back up." She leaned down, checked for a heartbeat. It was there, okay good. She pinched her mate's nose and opened his mouth. A few breaths and pumps later Dougie coughed up water. He heaved but opened his eyes and sat up.

"What. Happened." he gasped.

"You fell off your jet ski, babe. It skidded out of control," Dee explained. Dee's hair shined in the light. She had dyed it black a month ago and with her nose ring and complexion it looked great.

Dougie shook his head. The last thing he remembered was Cam and that girl. The thought of that guy made him angry. And when he looked up at the people crowding around him Cam was one of them. Ugh. Dee was still explaining Dougie's accident when his thoughts went back to her.

"So Liv had to give you CPR," WHAT?! Dougie cringed. The first mouth-to-mouth action he got with Liv was her saving his life. Greeaat.

"You okay?" Olivia was right there. So close to him, he could smell the coconut sunblock off of her. She looked so gorgeous in her black bikini, her skin now tan, her hair cut shoulder length with side-swept bangs. Her freckles were clear from this view and her forehead was wrinkled in concern. Dougie's hear skipped a beat.

"Err, yeah, I'm fine." he managed to say.

Olivia smiled and got up. Everyone went back to what they were doing, Cam was now macking on Olivia, Dee was on the jet skis with Harry, and Dan and Kimberley went to get a few beers. Dougie was left standing alone.

Dougie looked around. The beach was full of people, couples actually. Old couple eyeing souvenirs here, young couple kissing on a blanket there. Love was in the air, and cupid had missed Dougie. Well, he hadn't actually missed Dougie. Dougie just hadn't fallen for an available girl. Liv was "The One" and he would wait to the end of the universe for her, as corny as that sounded.

The sound of the waves crashing against the snow white shore was soothing, and Dougie decided to sit in one of the two chairs in the shade. He slowly dozed off.

"Dougie, Douuggiiee," a soft voice whispered in his ear.

He opened his eyes to those welcoming eyes, those familiar freckles. Olivia was right there, close enough to feel her breath on his skin.

"L-Liv?" he stuttered

"Heyyy," she inched her face so close to his, he could almost touch her. She was on top of him feeling the cuts in his abs. The sky was dark; Dougie must've been asleep longer than he thought. The beach was empty except for the two right here on the lounge chair.

"Wha-what are you doing, Liv?" Dougie gulped. He didn't know what was going on.

"Silly, what do you think?" She kissed his cheek. Then closer to his mouth. And closer. When she reached his mouth Dougie didn't want to question her anymore. He kissed her back, tender kisses turning into so much more. They tumbled off the chair into the soft sand, kissing passionately under the moonlight.

But Dougie had to stop it.

"What about Cam?"

"What about him? Dougie you know you're the only one for me. Cam's a jerk anyway, I'm breaking up with him." Olivia smiled and continued kissing him.

They soon got so into it that he had to ask.

"Do you want to, a-are we gonna...?"

She bit her bottom lip.

"I thought you'd never ask."
