Clay's POV

I was incredibly happy after George's and my short kiss. I didn't have the courage to bring it up again, but I made sure to show him that I still liked being with him after the kiss. I just held his hands sometimes and when we arrived at the water park we would be going today, George and I swam off together, leaving his parents and siblings alone.

We went to the back of the swimming pool. I could stand on the ground, but George had to keep swimming so he wouldn't drown. I found it really cute that he was this short and lifted him up.

'Wrap your legs around my waist,' I whispered as I held him by the back of his thighs to lift him up. His body was pressed against mine and I softly let his back lean against the wall.

We were standing in the corner of the swimming pool in some area not a lot of people were at the moment. I got completely lost in the moment and before I realised what was happening, George and I both started leaning in.

Within a second, our lips connected again. I held him tightly and replayed the kiss we had this morning. Our lips moved in sync again as my heart beat faster than I ever felt it beat. My cheeks heated up and even though the water wasn't extremely warm, I was feeling extremely warm at the moment.

George's hand went up to my face, he was a bit shy and held it on my cheek as the other was wrapped around my shoulders. I really couldn't even describe what I was feeling at the moment, but my legs felt so weak that I would have collapsed if I was standing on the ground.

I couldn't even understand how his lips could be this perfect. They were always a dark shade of pink, next to that they were also very soft and it seemed that they were made for mine.

My lungs started burning from the lack of air and I broke the kiss, smiling at George. He smiled back, but I kissed him again. This time I added even more passion in the kiss and passionately moved our lips together.

One of my hands moved up to George's face now, letting me feel his cheek and jawline. It seemed like he was very nervous as his jaw felt a bit tense. I started massaging his cheek with my fingers to let him know he could relax and calm down a bit.

He slightly opened his mouth and let out a soft sigh, relaxing after that. I had a small smile curl up at my lips and broke the kiss again to take a deep breath of air.

George was smiling at me with a red face and I gave him a short kiss on his lips as someone cleared their throat behind us. I turned around and let go of George to see an older woman look at us.

'Uh-,' I muttered. 'Hi.'

She smiled. 'It's good to see you guys happy, but I just wanted to let you know that I'm here with my husband and grandchildren. I think it would be awkward for you to keep kissing while we are here.'

My cheeks were really red and I nodded slowly. 'Thank you,' I muttered.

George smiled and we started swimming somewhere differently and we constantly looked at each other with a bright blush on our faces. I didn't have the courage to ask him to be my boyfriend and I was too scared to bring the kiss back up as well. George didn't bring it back up either and we went to George's parents again.

They were grinning once we swam over to them, but George and I looked so awkwardly that they didn't say anything. I hoped they didn't see us kiss, I hoped they only grinned because we went away together.

The rest of the day went by quickly. We went on a lot of water slides, swam obviously and had a lot of fun. George's siblings were mostly together, his parents were just sitting in the corner of the area for kids so they didn't have to move much and George and I explored the whole swimming pool, including all the water slides.

At one point George basically sat down on my lap when we went down one. He was a little bit scared so I decided to go with him. I hadn't focused on the slide at all, I only focused on George this close to me, feeling butterflies numb my body.

Once we were back in the water, I wished the moment wouldn't have ended. I loved being this close to George and I couldn't wait to sleep in the same bed as him this evening. I just wanted to cuddle with him as I went to sleep and if there was tension between us again, I would maybe have the courage to kiss him again.

As we went home, I was just smiling as I thought about George. He may have been walking next to me, but I couldn't be more happy with the kiss we shared. To be correct, the kisses we shared. Tonight we would have a room for us alone, maybe this time no one would walk in, maybe I could kiss him again.

I blushed at the thought of it and smiled even brighter. I was so happy, I was so incredibly happy that my dreams came true. I loved him, I was in love with him more than I had ever been. He was actually the first person I really fell in love with, the first one I wished to be in a relationship with.

When we had dinner, I secretly held George's hands under the table. He was smiling just as I was with a blush on my face. I loved him, I genuinely did. I was in love with George and not a little too. I loved him more than I loved anyone.
