Silence

Chapter Twenty

Cole

Oakley and I went back to her room to spend the hour together before we left for the water park, and I was seriously sulking because we had to pretend to be friends all day. We had only just gotten together, and I wanted to show her off.

Groaning loudly, I flopped down on the bed. "Why do they have to come?"

She smiled in amusement and jumped on the bed. I rolled onto my back, and she crept on top of me. My heart started beating faster and harder at the feel of her body pressing against mine. I ran my hands up her back and fisted her hair. See, things were much better when we were alone.

"Kiss me," I ordered, and she didn't hesitate to cover her mouth over mine.

Moaning deeply, I curled my hand around her neck and kissed her back. She tasted like the strawberries and watermelon she'd had at breakfast, and her lips drove me insane. She kissed me like she had to.

Oakley pulled away too soon and sat up, smiling down at me. I squeezed her thighs and willed myself to calm down. I didn't want to put any pressure on her, and I didn't want her to think that I just wanted her for sex.

If I had my way we'd spend the rest of the holiday in bed, but I also wanted to do everything she was excited for while we were here. Soon, it'd be back to reality, and when we told everyone about our relationship there would be a lot more rules we had to follow.

"You sure you're okay?" I asked, running my hands up her thighs and gripping her hips.

This is not helping me calm down.

She smiled, nodded and swung her leg off me. I couldn't tell if she wanted me inside her again or if she really was hurting. I knew she wouldn't tell me if she was, and it drove me crazy. Maybe I should have run her a bath this morning?

God, this was all new to me, and I felt like I was constantly fucking up.

"So, are you wearing that blue bikini?" I asked, innocently. Please say yes, please, please, I begged in my head. A blush swept across her cheeks and she dipped her head.

Oh, thank you. This was going to be a good day. I groaned and readjusted my shorts while she wasn't looking.

Sitting up, I kissed her and moved my lips down her neck. "I love you," I murmured against her skin. She gasped and gripped my t-shirt at the sides. "Okay," I said, ripping back like she'd just kicked me in the balls. I stood up and explained, "We need to go out soon and you're making it hard." Really, really hard.

A loud, obnoxious knock on the door, that I knew would be Jasper, was like having a cold shower. Her brother could kill the mood in an instant.

"Let's go," Jasper said with a wide smile as I opened the door.

We were supposed to meet in the lobby, but I guess he couldn't wait for that. He was probably to eager to stalk some poor, innocent girls by the pool. I couldn't help feeling a little sorry for him. Abby, his ex, had really screwed him over.

When Mia arrived, her mood had changed completely from an hour ago. She was no longer excited to go out. Her face looked like someone had slapped her, and her blue eyes glared at everything. Obviously she had just spoken to Chris-the-dick. I fucking hated that guy, and if I knew I wouldn't lost my sister I would've punched him a long time ago.

"I booked a taxi, let's go," she said, trying to keep her voice light.

Oakley walked ahead with Mia.

"Bet you twenty quid I score at least twice today," Jasper said.

I looked over at him, bored. "When the fuck are you gonna grow up?"
