(there was a chapter where i added that they said i love you but that hasn't happened yet so if you saw if ignore it because they haven't said 'i love you' yet)

it has been 5 exact months since i asked scarlett to
be my girlfriend. everyday has been going amazing. we went to the museum and the movies. we have also been on a massive zip line that went across a mountain. we have been doing everything together and i'm absolutely loving spending time with her.

i feel like i've known her for years even though it's not even been a year yet. time flys so fast with her because all of my attention is on her and it always feels like it's just us in the world as everything just disappears.

anyway today we are going to go to the beach as we haven't done that with each other yet.

"SCAR" "YEAH" she shouts back from upstairs "ARE YOU NEARLY READY TO GO?" i scream back getting impatient. "WILL YOU JUST WAIT A DAMN MINUTE" she says getting stressed. here's the thing about Scarlett is that she takes absolutely forever to get changed and it infuriates me. i feel like sometimes she just does it on purpose.

about 10 minutes later she comes down stairs with her sunglasses , a cap and her beach bag filled with towels and water. she's wearing a dark green bikini with a white dress over the top. i'm seriously lost for words. i always complain about how she takes so long to get ready but the outcome is always worth it.

"hi baby." i said pecking her and taking the heavy bag from her shoulder. she smiles and giggles. "hazel you don't have to do that you know. it is my bag after all" she says still smiling. "get your shoes on" i tell her walking to the front door ignoring her comment. i open the door and grab the car keys. i but the beach bag in the boot and go back into the house. scarlett is sat on the stairs struggling to tie the buckle on her shoe.

i look down at her laughing. "hey it's not funny my fingers are slippy and it's fiddly" she says pouting. i raise my eyebrow up at her and smirk. "hazel it's seriously not funny." she says still annoyed. i bend down still smiling at her and tie her shoe. "see it wasn't that hard now was it." i say getting up and walking to the door. "now come on." i say again repeating myself for what felt about the 50th time.

we both get in the car and put on her playlist as she always demands it. it's silent but it's nice just being in her presence. "i'm going back home tonight for a couple of days i think." she says staring out the window. "oh yeah okay that's fine." i say.

she's not really been staying at mine a lot lately. i think it's because of the talk i had with her the day i met her parents. "i miss you staying over you know" i say looking over at her but she just hums. "what's up?" i ask her as i know something is playing on her mind. "oh nothing." she says still not looking at me. she knows that angers me because she does it all the damn time. her not looking at me while i'm speaking to her or asking her a question really makes me annoyed. i just feel like i'm being ignored for no reason.

i really want to leave this conversation and not push her but i don't understand why she is being so distant.

we arrive at the beach and get the bags out of the car still in silence but this time it's very awkward. she starts to walk a head of me while im getting my cap and phone out of the car. she picks a spot and lays a towel down. i have the sun cream so i know she hasn't put any on. i get to the spot at the beach where she's sat down looking at her phone and start to lay out my things. we sit there for around 10 minutes until she decides to speak up.

"i'm just going to go the water." she says not even looking at me. i give her a small "ok" and off she goes. i know she is going to burn because she burns easy and she will regret not putting on sun cream tomorrow. after around five minutes of me just staring at her as she stands at the water looking over the sea i decide to get up and head over.
