I feel a little embarrassed that Louise saw me and hero kiss but she isn't the try to judge, she's so pure and kind and I couldn't imagine her ever thinking poorly of anyone, she always sees the bright side of people which is something I love about her.

Me and Hero decide to find the tour guide as we realize that we have no idea where we are going or what we are doing, i think its best anyway as Castille has organized this for all of us to spend some fun time together and not just for me and hero to get all lovey wit each other.

It only takes us a minute to find everyone and just as i'm about to greet Chance i'm stopped by Hero sliding his long arm around my waist and he adds a warm kiss to my neck.

"Mr. Fiennes Tiffin, I though we were keeping this on the low-key?" I say without hiding my smile.

"We are but your neck and waist were just right there and very tempting may I add."

I spot chances eyes on us and quickly turn out of Hero's grip before waving back at him but only getting a half smile in return. I brush it off and begin to listen to the tour guide about the story behind the name of the mountains, I couldn't quite hear but i'm sure I hear him say they're named after the god of thunder I think.

About 30 minutes later the tour of the Pirin mountains has come to a finish and it's finally time to get on the bus and go back to the hotel. It's not that I didn't enjoy today I just want to spend some quality time with Hero.

I get on the bus and realize Hero didn't come on after me and I start to look round for him. I wait about 5 minutes and then I can smell him, wearing his Ferragamo perfume, don't get me wrong it's got a lovely scent but he packs it on like there's no tomorrow.

"Hey, where did you go, you didn't come on the bus with me."

"I went to get you a present." He says with the most gorgeous grin on his face.

"Why would you get me a present?" I've joined in with him by grinning as well.

"Well because we're trying something new and I've never gotten a girl a gift before so I'd thought I'd try that."

Well there's always a first time for everything and i'm kind of glad i'm the first girl he's ever given present to.

"So is it a surprise until we get back to the hotel or can i open it now?"

"No, no, go ahead and open it now"

Well, better sooner than later. I open the small box to find a necklace and on it is a little white rose attached to the bottom.

"Oh my god Hero it's beautiful, thank you so much." I place the necklace back into the box and reach over to give him a hug, it's lasts longer than a normal hug but it just feels so nice to be in his arms.

"I hope it's ok, I got a rose because I remember that one time on set when I was struggling with all the pressure and you said to me 'there is no rose-"

"-without thorns' We both say at the same time.

"Yeah, I remember Hero. This may quote keeps me going if I'm honest. This is honestly one of the nicest things anyone has ever gotten me."

I can feel the stupid smile on my face getting bigger and bigger. I've fallen for this man now, I'm so deep and I don't want it any other way.
