I can't take her off my mind and it seems to be not a rare thing since I have her 24h for 7 in my mind in these past weeks.
"Finally man!" Riccardo says jumping on the boat while I was preparing our lunch.
They look beautiful as always.
They were the only couple in our group that I've always been certain that the were going to last forever. They are basically soulmates.
I never saw a guy live this much a girl and I hope that I'll get to love someone like that. Maybe is Cha that person.
I wish she was here but I'm not going to complain because I know she has to study and I'll get to see her in few hours. There are days that I don't get to see her at all so I'll not complain about it.

"Hi guys, so happy to spend some time together." I say leading them inside.
"We're happy too." Ric says hugging me.
"We're more happy about the fact that finally you two are coming out!" Marta says euphoric.
"Woah woah, let's calm down a bit." I say hugging her.
"Yeah we thought- I thought that there is no reason to hide and not do what we feel." I say keep preparing the table for us.
"Finally it was about time" Ric says with the biggest simile.

God they seem more excited than me.

"Yeah it was hard to convince her but she's letting herself go." I confess and Marta burst of laughter.
"I know, trust me." she says almost exasperated.
"Yeah, I know you know." I say knowing how hard she must have worked to let Cha go even this big to even try to date.

I let them settle and I navigate the best waters in this whole world to me.
Once I found great spot, we settle and lay on the mattress and we try to get tan even if I get red like a tomato.

"I already see the memes about my sunburn" I laugh.
"Yeah, everyone thinks you don't know what a sunscreen is." Ric says putting on his sunglasses.
"I just see coming the rumors of you and Cha dating."Ric continues.
"There are a little already." Marta corrects him.
"Yeah you posted a story dumbass." Ric says turning my way.
"Such a hard lunch." Marta says sounding almost proud of me.
"You know I like doing things big." I say giggling.
"Yeah perhaps you should kiss her, don't you think?" Marta asks sounding annoyed.
"Yeah before hard lunching and let half world think you two are together let's do the first step." Ric says.
"I was waiting her to be ready and the perfect moment." I confess putting som sunscreen on my stomach.
"Oh oh she's more than ready, trust me." Marta says it in a way that makes me curious to now what the two talked about.
"What a better moment than here?" Ric asks.
"With you two here?" I ask furrowing my eyebrow.
"We will stay inside maybe taking a nap on the bed." Ric proposes
"Alright then... we will see." I say.

We eat, listen to music while them both fall asleep under the hot sun.
I can't sleep. Usually I'm the fist falling asleep but I can't stop thinking about the moment when I get to go and get her with the motor boat.
Once they wake up we swim.
I keep my mind occupied while a refresh myself with a shower and once I got ready I pull out the dinghy boat and I navigate the stairs we promised to meet up and I see her from war away sitter on the rock stairs.
I see her smile from here and my heart does a little somersault.
"Hi!" she says and she's the happiest I've seen.
My heart is getting crazy trapped inside my chest that I can feel the beat in ever corner of my body.
"Hi beauty." I say trying to get the boat more close possible.
She's dressed all in black with a simple crop T-shirt and leggings.
She holds her backpack with some clothes I guess and her shoes.
"Be careful." I say leaning my hand toes her so she can grab it and get into the motor boat safely.
Once she grabs my hand with the softest grab ever my heart speeds up, it seems almost doing a cardio or something.
She jumps in after passing me her bag and shoes and it goes smoothly.
I take few seconds to appreciate the moment and look at her, with the smallest amount of make up, dressed so casual to our first date.
I love it. I don't feel no pressure I feel like I'm being in my space as usual with my Charlotte.
