The hot sun was beating down on us as we stood in the queue, which eventually led to the entrance of the theme park.

A group of teenage girls who stood behind us had taken their tops off, showing off in their skimpy bikinis. This totally attracted Dopey and Sleepy's attention. The girls of course loved it, and they wasted no time in flirting with them.

I noticed that two girls in particular were checking out Jesse… My Jesse! He didn't even notice though as his back was facing them, listening to Doc ramble on once more.

"He has such a hot arse," One girl giggled to one of her friends.

The other girl replied by licking her finger and pretending to reach out and touch him, making a sizzling sound.

I couldn't stand it any more. I'll admit it, I was jealous! Like, I know that Jesse loves me and only me… But I didn't want anyone else thinking otherwise! As much as I wanted to wrap my arms around him and make those girls jealous… I couldn't because my family was right here.

I desperately looked around. Well, Dopey and Sleepy were occupied behind me; my mother and Andy were too busy chatting up the front… That just left Doc… Damn, he was facing my way, in front of Jesse. Well I couldn't actually see him… Jesse's back was in front of me… but I could definitely hear him.

But for once, luck was on my side...

Suddenly some boy in the line next to us called out to Doc; which thank the heavens; made him shut up and turn towards the voice. It was one of his nerdy little smart friends. They immediately started chatting away like there was no tomorrow… Fantastic!

By now, these two girls who were drooling over Jesse had moved closer towards us, leaving my two brothers surrounded by their other friends. They were acting as though I was transparent, while they trying to get a better look at my man.

Stupid, bloody girls! They were definitely younger than me... Probably 13. What were they thinking anyway? As if a twenty-year-old guy is going to be interested in girls who have just hit puberty!

And with that, I decided that I have had enough! I moved my body against the back of Jesse's and wrapped my arms firmly around his waist, to prove that he was taken and he was mine!

Jesse was surprised by my actions and turned his head, to make sure that it was actually me who was holding onto him. He smiled when he saw me and loosened my arms, so that he could turn to face me.

"What brought that on?"

He asked, totally ignoring the skimpy bikini-wearing girls who were right behind me and near my side, gasping. Whether or not they were gasping because they realised that he was taken, or that he was just too damn hot… I didn't know, and I didn't care!

"I love you" I whispered, just loud enough for Jesse and the girls to hear.

He let out a quiet chuckle and gave me a quick hug.

"I love you too," He said, suddenly noticing the staring girls who had quickly turned back around and stepped over to my brothers…

Jesse's eyes followed them and scanned over the other flirty girls behind me. His eyebrows raised up and his mouth slightly parted.

"Jesse?" I asked, concerned about his gawking and tried to get his attention back towards me.

"What on earth…" He started, wrinkling his nose up a little.

"… Are they wearing?"

"That's what girls wear when they go swimming" I whispered, motioning for him to lower his voice.

His eyes fell upon me, noticing the light blue bikini straps which tied up around the back of my neck, above my t-shirt line.

"You are wearing one of these?" He asked, particularly concerned.

"Well, yeah… but not as revealing as theirs…"

"I would like to hope not!" He said, taking another look at the girl's costume tops and frowning.

… And my chest actually fills the costume… I felt like saying that, but Jesse would probably freak out or something, and restrict me from taking my shirt off.

By now, the line had decreased and we had reached the entrance to the Wet n Wild theme park. Andy called for Sleepy and Dopey, as they were still hovering back a little, holding up the line from moving forward.

After he had payed for all of us, we made our way through the turnstiles and followed Andy over to a grassy area, where there was an empty table big enough for all of us.

Out the corner of my eye, something suddenly caught my attention. It was the back of a blonde haired guy, who was making his way over to one of the pools. My heart skipped a beat. It couldn't be him…could it?

Then someone had run up behind him, making him turn around… I let out a sigh of relief. Phew, it wasn't Brett!

"Susannah," Jesse called out to me.

I continued over to the table that my family had just claimed. Paranoia was certainly taking over me! Relax… I told myself. That creep is not here!

As I dumped my bag onto the table, Jesse looked around at what other people were wearing. Most guys his age seemed to keep their boardies on, while girls seemed to want as much of their body exposed as possible.

He must have been feeling so uncomfortable about all of this... Poor Jesse. I mean, people back in his era would have never been seen looking so… bare.

Jesse sat down on the bench looking up at me while he took his shoes off, watching as I fixed my hair into a ponytail.

My brothers had already headed off in different directions, and Mum and Andy were busy unpacking things and placing them onto the table. Doc went off with his little friend, Dopey was already diving into one of the large pools, and Sleepy… Well I don't know where he went.

Jesse turned his back to me, as I started to take my shirt off, revealing my baby blue triangle bikini top. I placed my shirt on the table next to my bag.

Back in my bedroom this morning, I had decided to pack a pair of boardies, just in case Jesse seemed uncomfortable about my costume… Which he clearly did. And I didn't want him to avoid looking at me all day, just because he didn't want to seem disrespectful or whatever… So before I slipped my skirt off, I decided to put my boardies on.

I purposely chose navy ones to match his. Except, unlike his knee length ones, mine were rather short. Hopefully he wouldn't mind so much… I mean, he must agree that I looked attractive.

Jesse still had his back to me as he removed his shirt. This was the moment that I have been waiting for… I tried not to drool as he lifted his shirt over his head, revealing his broad shoulders and his masculine tanned back.

After his shirt had been completely removed, he turned around to place it near mine, and finally turned to face me. He gave me an awkward glance over, but seemed a little relieved with my choice about wearing the shorts.

"Well, I still don't like the idea of other men letting their eyes fall upon your body, Susannah…"

He said, concentrating on the ground as we walked around the side of the pool.

"… But you do look good"

I let out a short cry of laughter. "So do you" I nudged his arm.

I clapped my hands together. "Right, let's go have some fun!" I shouted enthusiastically, running across the warm pavement.

"Hey, wait for me!" Jesse shouted jogging after me, to catch up.

We decided to go on the ordinary water slides first. Seeing as though Jesse wasn't quiet sure about the wilder ones yet.

There was a long queue when we had reached the top. As we waited in the line, I explained and tried to make him feel more confident about the slides. He asked if he could go before me… I think he wanted to prove that he wasn't nervous, so I let him.

After Jesse had disappeared around the first corner, the lifeguard directed me that I could go next. The water was so nice and cool against my skin as I glided around the corners, finally flying out the end and landing in the pool, which waited for me at the bottom.

As I surfaced, wiping the water from my eyes, I could hear Jesse excitedly acting like a little child.

"That was so much fun!" He blurted out, as I swam over to where he was waiting.

"Let's do it again!" He said getting out of the pool, not even waiting for me, and started heading towards the ramp. I got out and followed Jesse's dripping wet body up the slope.

I really doubt that he realises how bloody good he looks… Especially when wet! He ran his hand through his wet hair, causing it to stick up a little. The little drops of water quickly ran down along his nicely tanned body, and dripped onto the ground.

Then he suddenly turned around and faced me, continuing to walk backwards up the ramp.

"How about we race one another this time?" He said, giving me one of his beautiful heart warming smiles.

"But you know I'll win!" I smiled cheekily, as we had finally made our way to the top.

"Oh, don't be so sure of yourself Querida…"

I watched him as he placed his hands on his hips, portraying a confident attitude.

"We will see soon enough…" I said, as it was our turn next.

We positioned ourselves down at the top of each of the slides, and I looked over at Jesse, who gave me a competitive grin.

"Ready, Set, Go!" I called out, releasing down the tube with a push and leaving from his sight.

I ended up beating him… But it was really close.

"Hah, I beat you!"

I laughed, waving my arms in victory. He grabbed me by the shoulders and dunked me under the water. Ok, well at least he has gotten over the edginess about my amount of exposed skin.

"Jesse!" I laughed, gasping for air.

"Hey!" A nearby lifeguard called out to Jesse.

He stepped out of the pool, and headed towards the lifeguard who was waving a finger for him explain. So Jesse made up some lame excuse on the spot…

"I am sorry sir, I didn't see her there…"

The man rolled his eyes and told him to behave sensibly, letting him off this time with a cautious gaze.

"Someone got in trouble" I chanted, stepping out of the pool.

Once the lifeguard had turned his back, and walked off, Jesse held his index finger in front of my face, and was just about to say something when… I pushed him with all of my strength into pool, causing a loud tidal splash.

From the side of the pool, I casually squeezed the water from my ponytail, watching him spit water out of his mouth like a fountain.

"I am sorry sir, I didn't see you there" I giggled, making fun of him.

"You are going to pay!" He said in a low voice, moving towards the edge of the pool.

I playfully screamed like a child and ran away from the pool, across the pavement.

"You know that I'm faster!" Jesse yelled, almost catching up to me within seconds.

Soon enough, he caught one of my arms and turned my body around to face him. I started laughing, as I visualised his face when I had pushed him into the pool.

"What is so funny?" He asked, looking into my eyes while wiping the dripping water from his face.

"You are!" I proclaimed, while still giggling.

Then he pulled me closer towards his body, where his bare chest was practically millimetres away from touching mine. This had made me stop giggling and gaze into his sparkling eyes.

It was amazing that even though; complete strangers were passing all around us, laughing and talking… We had managed to block everyone and all the sounds out, and focus only on each other's presence. Then Jesse abruptly broke the silence.

"You made me look like a fool" He softly whispered against my forehead.

"I'm sorry," I said, looking up at him with a sad puppy face.

"Not good enough…"

He quickly lifted me up high, and placed me around his shoulders, carrying me over to another pool.

"Jesse. Nooooooo, put me down" I half laughed, half squealed while wriggling around in his tight grip.

He took me over to the edge of the pool, chuckling devilishly.

"Now it's your turn, Susannah," And with that, he dropped my squirming body down with a splash.

As I surfaced, I found him full heartedly laughing… He slowed down when he noticed a child on the far side of the pool performing a 'bomb'.

A smile appeared on Jesse's face as he took the opportunity to display his ownversion of a huge 'bomb', right beside me in the pool.

Jesse surfaced, watching me wipe the chlorine water from my eyes. I flicked water at his face. I didn't know what to say… Until, at the same time we had both bursted into a deep laughter.

After we had calmed down and floated casually in the cool water next to each other, Jesse turned to me.

"How about we try out one of the more exciting rides?"

"Ooh, are you sure you're up for it?" I asked, daringly.

"I can handle anything, as long as you are by my side" He smiled.

"Awe, don't get all heroic on me, Jesse…" I playfully pushed him.

We had eventually found the perfect ride. Well I did, because I knew what it involved from overhearing Doc one time. Two people, one inflatable tube, rough currents, dark tunnels and one steep drop!

"You want excitement? Then this one is for you!" I informed Jesse, taking his hand and guiding him up along the path, which eventually would lead to the top.

"So what does this involve?" He asked as we walked.

"I remember Doc explaining about this once… Let's just say that we'll be together, in the dark…" I teased.

Jesse glanced over at me, raising his eyebrows in a kind of excited way. "And you say that David has been on this ride before?"

I giggled and squeezed his hand tighter. "God, I love you Jesse!"

We reached the top, and there was an instructor who was about to explain the safety rules to a young couple. He asked us to join in so that he didn't have to repeat the speech.

Blah blah blah… It was the same stupid rules, which applied for basically every ride.

"Ok, last of all, the heavier person must sit at the back" The man informed us. Well, he mainly looked at the other couple, because they were going first.

"Which means that you girls, will be in between your partner's legs…"

I snickered and looked up at the look on Jesse's face, which was absolutely priceless!

"Are you alright?" The instructor looked at Jesse's facial expression, and then down at me, who was desperately trying not to burst out laughing.

"Did you miss anything? Would you like me to repeat something?" The man asked seriously.

"Yeah…" I said, trying to hold back my growing urge to laugh, by biting my lower lip. "I think he missed that last bit!"

As I pointed to Jesse, it caused my outburst of laughter to explode from my mouth. I dropped down and knelt on the ground, holding my stomach, while Jesse finally snapped out of it and noticed me in a hysterical condition on the ground.

The other couple didn't seem to get it… Neither did the instructor. I guess they were more mature than I was… While, Jesse helped me to my feet, the other couple was already seated in the tube, with the raging water lurking beneath them.

"What kind of ride is this?" Jesse asked seriously, intending for only me to hear.

After the man had released his grip on the tube and let the couple go into the darkness, he stood up and turned to face us with a weird look upon his face.

I wiped the tears of laughter from my eyes and cleared my throat. "I told you it was gonna be exciting, didn't I!"

"Are you sure you guys are up for this ride?" The instructor asked.

I quickly turned to Jesse. "Please Jesse, don't answer that…" I pleaded, seeing where he'd go with that comment.

I told the man that we'd be over in a minute, and pulled Jesse aside.

"It's not what you're thinking man…" I whispered, trying not to laugh again.

"Well it sure doesn't sound very appropriate for us to…" He began, lowering his voice to a whisper, only to have me interrupt.

"Sssh, listen to me. Oh this is so embarrassing" I muttered.

"It's just a waterslide Jesse… The choice of words he used has been um, misleading…"

Jesse eyed the man in a cautious way.

"For God's sake Jesse, get your mind off that subject and remember it's a theme park!" I shook his shoulders, trying to make him see some sense.

He finally accepted it and we made our way over to the slide.

The instructor held the inflatable tube while Jesse sat down towards the back. He then instructed me to 'get between his legs'. I didn't want to laugh again; I'd probably have some sort of heart attack before actually beginning the ride.

I felt my bare legs brush up against Jesse's, as I sat back against his body... skin touching skin. Every nerve in my body was alert, and my stomach did a little flop as he wrapped his arms around my stomach.

Before we knew it, we were spiralling down into the darkness and flying around blind corners. As the rough currents pushed our tube violently, I screamed my lungs out, while Jesse was absolutely loving it and yelling out "Faster!" in utter joy.

Finally I noticed a bright light in the distance, growing bigger and bigger by the second. I knew the steep drop was waiting for us at the end of this tunnel, so I held even tighter onto Jesse's arms and braced myself. Jesse on the other hand, had no idea what was in store.

I gave one last almighty scream as we were thrown helplessly into the air, falling down into the deep pool, which waited metres below us.

We both gasped for air as we kicked our way to the surface of the water. Jesse lifted himself out of the pool, and bent down to help me.

"Holy shit! That was awesome!" I yelled, surprised that I would ever be able to speak again, due to my intense screaming.

"You want to do it again?" He asked enthusiastically.

"Yeah, this time you can get in between my legs!"

Oh My God! I can't believe I had just said that out loud.

"I'm sorry, that wasn't funny. I take that back…" I awkwardly said turning away from him, only for a minute and then looked back at him.

His eyes met my gaze. "Um, do you want to get something to eat?"

I nodded. "Good idea, I'm starving…"

We slowly made our way back to the table… Neither of us saying a word.
