Thank you all for your lovely reviews on the first chapter, I was going to wait till later to post this chapter but I couldn't resist, I will post another tonight, enjoy :)

Different

Lauren couldn't help but let her thought drift to the stranger she met at the beach. Each time she closed her eyes she pictures his face, his eyes connecting with hers. Closing then once more the image of his perfectly structured body entered her mind, his chest ridiculously defined, his swim shorts hung seductively on his hips, the way his brown her looked tousled and messy completely sexy.

"What's on your mind?" Whitney broke her trance, forcing Lauren to carry on getting ready for the evening.

"Met this boy earlier, he was a god kind of bummed I didn't get his name" she sighed applying the straighteners to her long black hair.

"Babe, there are plenty of boys out here for you to meet" Whitney chuckled, Lauren throwing a towel in her direction.

"He was just different" she replied, it was the truth she was being completely honest, it did feel different when they met compared to other boys she had met; there was an instant connection and attraction. There was this fierce banter between them even though they had only met for a few minutes.

Sliding on her high waist tight black shorts and white bandeau, Lauren was ready for the night out. She barely needed make up only applying mascara to her eye lashes, her skin needing no help as it was perfectly tanned. Her hair hung long down her back almost touching the top of her shorts.

"Let's go get wasted" Lucy squealed tugging both Whitney and Lauren by the hand as they left the hotel for the busy strip. Heading straight into a bar, Lauren bought shots for them to kick start the night.

"Booze, boys and bloody banter" she called out, clinking the glasses together before knocking back the clear liquid. Feeling the warmth trail down her throat she caught a glimpse of Lucy's face pure disgust at the shot they just took, causing her to laugh. Lucy couldn't handle drink like Lauren, although it was a problem occasionally for Lauren, it was her escape route at home; here it was used like every other teen who was on holiday.

"Another?" Lauren questioned, both girls signalling no disappointedly, "Just me then" getting up from her seat and going to the bar. Looking over she watched a few boys descend on Whitney and Lucy, rolling her eyes she decided to stay at the bar for a little while longer, knocking back the shots.

"We are going to that club" Lucy pointed to the huge club in the centre, it looked impressive unfortunately they were joined by the boys who had begun chatting the girls up at the bar much to Laurens dislike. There was only one boy she wanted to see and it was highly unlikely they would meet again.

Walking in, the club was busy, but not too busy where you could barely move, making their way over to a free podium, Lauren and the girls climbed up and begun dancing to the heavy club music, glancing around she noticed everyone was pretty similar dancing, drinking and generally having a good time, she could seriously get used to this kind of life. Grabbing onto the poll to steady herself she looked over to the bar, her eyes scanning the crowd, reaching a set of brown orbs and connecting immediately; it was him.

Blushing as he continued to watch her dance, her hips swaying side to side with the music in time. Her body brushing up against the other girls who had focused on the lads they had come with, Lauren never losing the eye contact with the god. She watched as he made his way over to where she was, holding his arm out suggesting she got down, Lauren quickly whispered to Whitney she was getting some air, before taking his hand in hers the spark rushing through her body once more as he clamped his hands around her waist effortlessly lifting her down from the podium, their bodies grazing together as he lowered her to her feet in front of him. Tugging her hand he led her through the young crowd and outside.

"Hi" his voice practically a whisper but still holding that strong sexy tone.

"Hey" she replied, feeling herself blush at how shy she was being. Lauren Branning never being one for shyness.

"Didn't think I'd see you again" he murmured his voice purring irresistibly.

"Looks like your lucky night then" she smirked, holding her own; she was confident and was going to prove it.

"I didn't ask your name before?" he trailed off leaving space for her to drop her name in.

"Lauren, I'm Lauren" she smiled, his mouth curving into a smile of his own. Holding out his hand he took hers gently "I'm Joey" shaking it politely making her laugh, she was right he was a charmer.

"Your good" she laughed pulling her hand away from his gently, a confused expression sweeping his face.

"What do you mean?" taking a step closer to the girl who had caught his full attention. He watched as she studied him, her eyes trailing down his face, then to his body which was covered by a black tight top with denim shorts exposing his toned thighs.

"You've done this plenty of times" she smirked, "You're a 'ladies' man'" rolling her eyes at him, catching him off guard once more. She had broken through his bold exterior, the one he used on every girl. She was right he was a 'ladies' man' he used the same lines on every girl he encountered, but the one standing before him was different. Firstly she was the most beautiful girl he had ever met, and he had met a lot, her beauty was beyond breath taking, she had flawless skin and hair, tanned skin and deep brown orbs. Her body was in another league, slim but curvy the image of perfection, and lastly he was deeply attracted to her personality her way with words within the time they had met made him laugh, he liked girls who could make him laugh.

"Your different" he commented, watching as her skin flushed pink, the colour suiting her immediately, a shine of innocence beneath the pink blush.

Sitting down on the curb outside the bustling club, the pair delved into conversation finding it easy to talk to one and other, completely discarding the awkward silences between strangers. "How long are you here for?" he quizzed, moving himself closer to the brunette beauty, brushing a piece of hair away from her face and placing it behind her ear she turned to face him.

"2 weeks, well we've been here for 3 days so more like another 11 nights" seeing his face light up a little. "Me too, well me and my mates" he smiled, his teeth glistening white against his tanned face.

"Talking of mates I better go find mine" she sighed, standing up from her seated position brushing the dust from the back of her shorts as he stood up next to her. "Will I see you again?" his comment surprizing her, he wanted to see her again, this god like boy wanted to see plain old Lauren as she usually called herself.

Talking his mobile from his hands, she tapped in her number pressing save she slid the phone back in his hands. "If you're lucky" she smirked, turning on her heel making her way into the club, slightly shaking at her own boldness towards him, glancing back over her shoulder she saw him watching her closely, throwing a wink in his direction she drifted back into the club and out of sight.
