~ Claire's POV ~
As Owen and I sat on the bench, i could feel my heart wanting to know more. Wanting to know what we were. Were we a couple? Were we just friends? Or was it something completely different? I could feel my eyes growing heavier.

"Claire? Claire? Wake up Claire" Owen was whispering in my ear softly. I opened my eyes and saw we were surrounded my crowds of people behind us.
"There is a boat for us. Do you want to go home?" Owen stood me up slowly. I was astounded by his manliness.
"Where will you stay?" I asked Owen. I hoped he would pick up that I wanted him to stay at my house. After we kissed, I wanted to ask him what the kiss was for, but I wasn't sure if that was just a heat of the moment kiss or not. So I waited.
"I can stay at my parents house."
"Wouldn't you rather stay with someone else?" I asked.

"Are you trying to hint at me staying with you?" He smiled a smile I had never seen before. It was a romantic smile.
I nodded. He wrapped his arm around my waist and whispered into my ear, "Claire Dearing, are you turning into a romantic?" I laughed a little.
"So do you want to stay with me? Or are you too cool for that?"
"I will happily stay at your house as long as we clear something up first"
"And what is it that we need to clear up?"
"What," Owen gestured to the both of us, "well what is this?"
I thought I would've had to eventually ask, but he did. I didn't know quite what to say.
"What do you want it to be Owen?"
Owen pulled me closer to his body. We were centimetres from touching lips.
"This." He leaned and kissed me. It was as if time completely stopped. I could feel my lips tingling and my heart thumping. The kiss lasted for what felt like forever. When the kiss was over, I could feel we both wanted more. But I had to clear something up first.
"What is this? May I ask"
"Well, Claire Dearing, do you take the honour to be my amazingly hot and sexy girlfriend?"
I laughed and looked at my feet.
"I do" and with that he leant back in and our lips touched. This time it was more passionate. . .

~ Owen's POV ~
. . . I couldn't believe I had done it. I had asked Claire and she said yes. The kiss lasted longer this time. It was slower and softer. I liked it and I could tell Claire did too. She was the first to pull away but it was kind of a mutual feeling.
"Maybe we should get on the boat and go home..."
"Good idea" I stopped there. I was about to play the 'babe' card but I didn't. I knew not to make that mistake again.
When we got on the boat we found seats and relaxed. Claire leaned her delicate head on my shoulder. I could see Karen, Scott, Zach and Gray a few rows in front of us. Gray turned around and waved at us. Zach turned and winked. Karen turned and mouthed 'awwww'. I loved Claire and her family. I knew this would last. If I didn't mess it up.

The boat took a few hours to get to the coast of Costa Rica. During that time Claire fell asleep on my shoulder and I rejected the food that got passed around a few times. I wasn't hungry even after running all that time.

When we got to the airport Claire's sister, her husband and this kids came with us. We boarded the flight together but got separate seats. Claire pleaded to sit with them but the air hostess explained that the flight was so full they only had split up seats. I told Claire it was fine and she followed me down the aisle.
We sat in the seat and I immediately put my arm around Claire's body. She was still shivering.

"I love you Owen"
"I love you more"
