Andrew was true to his word and we are currently on holiday in the Maldives by the beach and it's been amazing here. We're spending ten days here and we're already halfway through. We've been exploring the towns for the last few days and today we've decided to have a chilled day at the beach. I'm reading on the beach whilst Andrew swims and until this holiday I'd forgotten that he's kinda buff now since doing Spiderman but he has just finished doing a role where he lost a ton of weight so we've definitely been fattening him up again this vacation but he still looks good. He comes over and plops himself beside me "You have to join me the water is amazing" he says "Fine one quick swim" I say and I throw my hair up into a messy bun and remove my cover up and I notice him staring at me not for the first time this vacation but this time he's focused on the scar on my stomach "From the accident they removed my spleen" I say and I continue walking towards the water and he follows me.
We end up having a splash fight and goofing around in the water before we decide to call it a day and grab some food "I'm glad we did this I think the last time we went on holiday together was with our parents to Greece when we were sixteen" he says "And I met that boy and had my first holiday romance" I say "I hated that guy" he says "I know I never understood why though" I say and he's silent for a moment "Cause he had you" he says and I let his words sink in for a moment before answering "I'm not saying I'm not blameless in this situation but if you wanted me all you had to do was ask" I say "And if you didn't feel the same I would of ruined our entire friendship" he says "But I did feel the same when you left for LA I cried for a week you were the first person I ever loved Andrew" I say "Sounds like we've both been pretty stupid then. My mum called me after that first time you visited when we reconnected and told me not to let you get away again because if I did I'd regret it for the rest of my life" he says "I remember one of the last conversations my mom and I had she brought you up told me to reach out to you for help because we were meant to be in each others lives until the end of our lives" I say "Seems like everyone knew what we couldn't admit to each other" he says "Seems like it" I say.
After lunch we head back to the hotel to chill for a while before dinner later and I call Ezra needing some advice from my best friend "Hey how's the Maldives" they say "Amazing but I'm not calling to give you a vacation breakdown" I say "Okay sounds serious" they say "Andrew and I admitting our feelings for each other and now I don't know what to do" I say "Finally" they say "I've known the guy almost my entire life been in love with him for almost as long but why does the idea of being with him scare me" I say "Because your worried it won't meet your expectations but remember the Cosmo interview you basically described Andrew as your dream guy. After spending time with both of you I can safely say you two belong together. So throw away your expectations and just let it happen" they say "Okay I can do that" I say "I know you can and I expect details after" they say "I'm not having sex with him right away" I say "Sure you aren't years of built up tension and your not gonna jump his bones" they say "Of course not" I say and we talk for a little longer before I hang up to start getting ready for dinner.
Andrew knocks on my door just as I'm finishing getting ready and I throw my things into a small bag and open the door "Hi you look beautiful" he says "Thank you" I say "Shall we" he says and I close the door behind me and follow him to the elevator to head downstairs for dinner. We order our food and it's pretty quiet at first "I know we could be potentially ruining years of friendship by doing this but I've loved you for most of my life and I think it's worth taking the risk" he says "I was literally going to say the same thing or something similar" I say and we both laugh. We enjoy the rest of our dinner and as we're heading back to the elevator Andrew takes my hand and intertwines our fingers together and we stay like that the entire elevator ride. We reach my room door "I'm gonna kiss you goodnight and then I'm gonna go back to my room" he says "Okay" I say and he leans in and places a hand on the side of my cheek and then his lips reach mine in the gentlest of kisses and it's over too soon "Goodnight" he says "Goodnight" I say and he leaves.
I kept my promise to Ezra and Andrew and I didn't have sex right away we waited exactly three more days and on the final night of our vacation we finally gave in to our feelings and it was everything I thought it would be with a few surprises thrown in but it feels good to finally call him mine.
