At 9:45 I called for a taxi and read the address Tori gave me to the driver. It took 20 minutes to get there. Riley jumped out of the taxi as soon as we arrived.

"Hey!" Tori greeted us at the door before stepping aside for us to enter.

She wrapped one arm around me, hugging me.

"So how are you liking your second day in Italy?" She smiled.

"It's beautiful." I replied. "What about you? Still love living here after 5 years?"

She laughed. "Yep."

"And how's business?" I ask. Referring to the whole reason she moved to Italy. The shops she wanted to open here.

"Amazing." She beamed.

I returned the smile. "Good." I was happy for her.

I returned to the hotel an hour later. Tori and I had loads to catch up on. I decided to rest on a sun lounger for a while, keeping my phone close by me in case Tori needed me to pick Riley up. I dragged my book from my bag and positioned the umbrella above me to block the sun. I get a sudden shock as the umbrella falls and I am exposed to the sunlight. Only, it didn't just fall. I look up to see Tobias standing over me, chuckling at my shocked expression.

"Oh, so you think that was funny?" I say.

He smirks. "What are you doing sitting in the shade anyway?"

"Reading."

"Well not anymore. C'mon."

"What?" I crease my eyebrows together.

"I said I'd take you out."

"And where do you plan on taking me?"

He sits on the sun lounger next to me. Keeping his gaze on my face.

"Do you like boats?" He asks.

"Yeah."

"Do you like water?"

"Yeah."

"Can you swim?"

I laugh at his insistent questioning. "Yeah."

He then raised his eyebrows. "Do you look good in a bikini?"

I smirk. "I guess you'll have to see for yourself."

With that, I close my book and stand up. Exiting the hotel. I turn around to see he had followed like I hoped.

"So where are we going?" I ask.

"Follow me." He smiles, leading the way.

I end up in a queue with Tobias, waiting to board a boat. I admit, I have nerves on how this day is going to end up. Soon enough we are on board and I feel the rush of wind blowing through my hair.

Tobias looks back at me, a grin on his face.

"This beats reading your book, right?"

"I don't know, it was getting pretty interesting." I Smirk

He laughs, then turning around fully to face me.

"The view is amazing." He says softly.

I nod my head, flickering my eyes up to see his face. The wind blows his hair leaving it messy, and the sunlight makes his eyes look brighter. He looks even more handsome than I thought he could. Before I can shake the thought from my mind, I glance back at his eyes to see him staring right at me.

"What?" He smirks.

I shake my head. "Nothing." Looking away as quick as I can, trying to hide the redness in my cheeks.

The suns reflection on the ocean makes everything look brighter, more beautiful. I look back to my side when I hear my name being called. It is Tobias.

"Are you ready?" He says standing up.

"What for?" I ask confused.

"I hope you actually brought your bikini." He laughed.

"Yeah..." I say slowly, remembering that I have it on under my dress.

"Well, c'mon then. Put it on."

"Why?"

He motions to the rest of the people walking up steps. "We're going to jump off."

As if on cue I snap my head around just as I hear a splash behind me from a person jumping from the top.

"Oh, I, Uh, No... That's ok."

Tobias chuckled. "I thought you liked water. Or are you scared?" He smirked.

"No." I protested. "Fine." I sighed, pulling my dress over my head revealing my bikini.

I looked up to catch Tobias looking at my body, and then quickly looking away sheepishly as I caught him. I smirked to myself. He then turned on his heels walking up the steps that lead to the top of the boat. I followed behind him. I got to the top, suddenly feeling my nerves kick in. It was a lot higher from up here. I turned to Tobias with a smile plastered on my face. As much as it may scare me, I knew the feeling of jumping was going to give me a rush. Like the first time I went on a rollercoaster. Only, Tobias' face looked pale.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

He turned to me suddenly, as if snapping out of a thought.

"Yeah, I just... It doesn't look this high from down there, does it?" He laughed shakily.

I quickly catch on that he obviously isn't the best with heights, yet tries to hide it.

"It'll be fine." I smile. "Just jump and we'll be at the bottom in no time." I say, trying to lighten his mood.

He doesn't say anything. Just keeps staring at the bottom. I suddenly feel aware that I don't want him to feel this way. I want him to be able to have fun.

"We can jump together." I say, grabbing his hand.

He eyes quickly dart down to our connected fingers.

What did you just do? I think to myself. But my thought is soon cleared as I feel the gentle squeeze from his hand. I smile up at him.

"On three?"

He nods.

"One, two... three!"

I throw myself off the top, worried for a second that Tobias may have let go of my hand, but soon reassured when I hear a scream of joy release from his husky throat. It makes me feel better for some reason, that he actually done it. I scream out in joy too. I can feel my stomach flipping as I am falling. The feeling of the fall never-ending. My body soon hits the water and I come back above to see a pleased looking Tobias.

"That was amazing!" I shout to him over the noise of everyone else jumping.

"I know!" He laughed.

Once we spotted the stairs onto the boat we swam over to it, climbing off. There was a man on board handing out towels. I took one and wrapped it around me. I looked around for my original seat.

"Thank you." Tobias whispered in my ear.

I don't have to ask what he means. He is thanking me for the encouragement to jump off the boat. The thought makes me happy inside, so I return a smile to him.

Once we get back to the hotel I receive a text from Tori.

'Hope it's okay if Riley spends the night. He can borrow some of Lucas' pyjamas and I'll bring him back to the hotel tomorrow morning.'

'Yeah, that's no problem' I reply quickly.

I look up to see Tobias messing with his leg. He is rubbing it. Something red catches my eyes until I realise it is blood.

"What have you done?" I ask.

His head shoots up as he obviously didn't realise I was watching him.

"Oh, don't worry, It's nothing." He says casually.

"It looks really bad. C'mon let me help you." I beckon for him to follow me.

I lead us back to my hotel room where I have a small first aid kit. I open it up as we get back to the room. I search through it for some disinfectant and a plaster.

"You have a first aid kit?" He asks.

"It's for Riley." I roll my eyes. "I don't just carry one around." I laugh.

He holds out his arm while I try to sort it as best as I can for him. It only takes me a few minutes, but when I am done I decide to turn the TV on. The program Friends comes on, filling the silence.

"I love this." Tobias smiles, glancing at the TV.

I scoot over on the couch, making room for him to sit.

"You sure you don't mind." He asks politely.

"No, It's fine." I smile. I appreciate his question though.

Without even realising we spend the rest of the night watching TV programs. I would suggest that I was tired, but it was too late for that. My head was already on his shoulder and I was too far gone.
