Young

The girls met Joey and his friends outside the Water Park which luckily was only a 10 minute taxi journey from their hotel. With such confidence Joey took Lauren's in his, not caring what his friends would be thinking. The girls were impressed with his attitude towards their friend, scared of her being mucked about, but Joey seemed different, he actually cared which was a change from the string of one night stands Lauren had incurred during her darker period.

"What one first?" Joey questioned as they entered into the park. Looking round, half the boys, Lucy and Whitney decided they wanted to go on the double dip which looked terrifying to Lauren who wasn't a fan of heights, instead opting for the lazy river, Joey going with her instantly, the other half of his friends choosing another water ride.

"You didn't need to come on this with me" as she slid her body through a rubber ring, Joey doing the same. "I wouldn't want to be anywhere else babe" he said cooly to her as they began drifting around the lazy river. The sun beating down on the pool water, Lauren lent her head backwards dipping her long glossy hair into the water, once again she took his breath away, her body arching as her hair soaked in the water.

"Babe, please" he murmured to her, pulling his rubber ring next to hers. "What?" she smirked knowing full well what he was talking about, but making him say it out loud was much better.

"You know what, doing that makes me want to re-enact last night" his lips tickling against her ear, as he tried to control his voice level knowing there were families around who wouldn't appreciate hearing the details of last night's sex session. She couldn't help but laugh, it shocked her how open he was towards her, but how much of an effect she had over him.

"If you're nice, we might just" the twinkle in her brown orbs evident to Joey. "I'm you to that" he smirked, pushing her rubber ring forward, Lauren spinning it faster as they reached the end of the river. Picking her up out of the ring, he held her in his arms for a few seconds, her wet body up so close next to his. "Down boy" she whispered, knowing if they stayed in this position it would awaken a part of his anatomy for everyone at the park to see. Dropping her down, he took her hand once more to go explore.

Walking around the park, she couldn't help but notice how normal they looked. Hands and fingers entwined, walking side by side, talking, laughing and generally being young. They looked like any normal couple, except they weren't, they weren't even a couple, they were strangers who only met a few days ago, but have a common ground, an understanding of each other, and a connection.

"Should we try that one?" pointing to a large water slide, Lauren gulped it looked awful. "Umm I'm not great with heights" she hesitated not daring to look at his face, he was probably thinking what a wimp. Cupping her cheeks, he lifted her face their eyes meeting, "I'll be right there with you" the promise in his words almost curing her fear. Nodding she let him take her towards the large park ride, climbing up the million stairs Lauren began shaking the ground becoming distant. Joey engulfed his arm around her pulling her tight into his body, his other arm carrying the double rubber ring.

Reaching the top, the lifeguard placed the ring Joey was holding in the top of the flume. "Babe go in front, I promise I'll be right behind you" trust pouring from his eyes, promising he would be right there. Standing there she had the choice whether to trust him or back away, her brain couldn't make up its minds, her heart telling her one thing, head the other. Deciding life was too short to hesitate, she took his hand in hers, stepping into the front of the rubber ring and sitting down, Joey sitting in the back, his arms wrapping tightly around her waist. "I'm proud of you" kissing her cheek softly, signalling the lifeguard to let go of the float. Closing her eyes she felt it move, Joeys arms tightening around her, she couldn't help but scream as it sped down the slide, jolting sharply around the turns until it reached the bottom, submerging both of them. Spluttering she surfaced, Joeys arms once again going around her body as he lifted her from the water. "Oh my god" she squealed, pushing her wet hair away from her face. "Did you like it?" he laughed, placing her down on her feet, she looked at him as if to say 'are you being serious'. "Never again" she muttered, taking his hand to find their friends, who most likely had enough of the water park.

Arriving back at the hotel, the boys bid goodbye, Whitney and Lucy disappearing inside leaving the pair outside talking. Each moment she spent with him, she could feel herself falling for him, he was everything she could ever want, sweet and tender, caring and strong, he made her feel invisible.

"Fancy dinner later?" hesitating a little, he wasn't sure if she was getting sick of him now, having spent the past days together. For Joey he wanted to spend as much time with her as he could, this beautiful girl had captured his heart, stripped him of his bad boy image, but most of all she made him feel alive.

"Sounds great" she smiled back at him, her arms going around his waist burying her head into his chest. Joey hugging her close, kissing the top of her head. Vowing to see her later, the pair parted, heading separate ways, Lauren wanting to shower and get ready for dinner.

Joey arrived back at his hotel, flopping down on the bed, he lifted his top off, Laurens scent strong on it from each time she hugged him. Robbie walked in, noticing Joey in a dazed, guessing first time what or who exactly he was thinking of.

"Mate you got it bad" patting Joey's shoulder, freeing him from his Lauren trance.

"I know" he sighed glancing to his friend who was his oldest, the one he could talk to about anything. "She is just one in a million I swear".

"She is certainly something, I mean she is so fit, why are you always lucky" Robbie laughed, Joey smirking, his friends were for sure jealous that he got Lauren.

"I know her body is just as amazing as her personality, she keeps me on my toes mate" rubbing the back of his head.

"She is the fittest girl I've ever seen, proper nice too good banter" Robbie replied, Joey launching his top in his direction. Sure Lauren was fit, but he was the only one aloud to say it, she was his and he wasn't letting go of her anytime soon. He was glad Robbie liked her, how could anyone not like Lauren she was an infectious spirit, the funniest person they were likely to meet, not afraid to join in with the joke.

"You know a jigsaw puzzle, my life is like that and she was the missing piece" Joey sighed, although it was completely cheesy it was the gods honest truth, he had always been missing something from his life, when he met Lauren he realised she was it, the last piece.
