Ella's POV
I woke up the next morning around 10:15.
I rolled over to the left side of my bed and grabbed my phone, seeing a text message from Joe.
From: My Baby💓👫💑
Hey beautiful. Want to go to the beach today?
To: My Baby💓👫💑
Yeah. When do you want to leave?
From: My Baby💓👫💑
Can you be ready around twelve?
To: My Baby💓👫💑
Yep! Just text me when you get here. I'll see you later. I love you❤️
From: My Baby💓👫💑
I love you too, babygirl❤️
I stood up from my bed and slowly walked over to my dresser, pulling out my black bikini, a pair of shorts, and a teal tank top.
I walked to the bathroom and shut and locked the door.
I turned on the shower and jumped in, washing up. When I got out, i wrapped my hair in the towel hat and dried off.
I pulled on my bathing suit and then my outfit over it.
I took my hair out and brushed through it before french braiding it into a messy bun.
I put on some waterproof mascara and then slipped on my black sandals before laying on my bed, reading my text from Joe.
From: My Baby💓👫💑
I'm here.
I took one last look in the mirror before slipping my phone into the back pocket of my shorts and jogging out to Joe's car.
I slipped into the passengers seat, leaning over the center console to kiss my lovely boyfriend.
He smiled against my lips. "Well hello to you too, baby."
"Hey." I smiled, staring into his eyes.
"What?" He said, smiling down at me.
"Nothing. I just love you a lot." I said, poking his nose.
I just wish I knew how to tell him...
The whole car drive I held his hand which was resting on my thigh.
I smiled at him the whole time, causing him to laugh.
"This is why you are my girl." He said, helping me out of the car, shutting the door then pushing me against it. "No one else could handle you." He whispered.
"Also because I love you and only you." I said, kissing his lips softly.
"Let's go swimming." He said, taking my hand and pulling me to the beach.

"Get off of me!" Joe laughed as I straddled his back.
"Why?" I said, looking at him through his phone screen.
"At least let me roll over." He said and I got off of him so he could roll over.
When he did, I laid my head on his chest and my legs between his.
"Why are you being so cuddly?" He asked, combing his fingers through my wet hair.
"What? Can I not cuddle my boyfriend?" I snapped, him looking at me shocked. "Sorry." I sighed.
"That's not it at all. I love it actually. But you're just never this cuddly." He said, looking at me. "Is everything alright?"
"Yeah. Everything is just fine." Lies.
