CHAPTER ONE

Vanessa POV

"Isn't there anywhere else I can go" I pleaded with my mother. 

"No darling this is the only option me and your father feel comfortable with after all you didn't want to go to Africa with us and plus don't you love aunty Stacy?" my mother said trying to act like she even gives a damn about how I feel.

"Yea when we hang out for a day or two but not THREE WEEKS!"

"Vanessa look WHATS done is done and really it is not your choice where you stay, I tried to get your sister to take care of you but with her crazy work schedule it wasn't possible" . I could see in her eyes because she had the same big dark brown eyes that always let you know her feeling. That she only wanted whats best for me but to be honest my mother had no clue. I wasn't ready to give up just yet.

I'm nearly 16 In fact it's my birthday tomorrow and im-

I was cut of by the the sound of a hand repeatedly knocking against our white door. It was aunty Stacy she wasn't really my aunt and don't get me wrong I loved her and her family but there was this one complication at her home that made my heart pound so hard against my bare chest.

"Hello Vanessa you all packed we are all so excited for you to come its gonna be so great having a girl around to help me keep the boys in check"

"Yea" ,I said forcing a smile trying to hold back any anger I had towards my mother.  

"So you all packed", aunty Stacy said ready to haul me out of my house, to face those three weeks that just wouldn't go away.

"Yep all set", I managed to spit out of my mouth.

"Okay darling be safe and be good and just know I love you " ,I could tell my mum really was gonna miss me and that she was only doing this because she loved me.

"Of course I will and I love you too and don't forget to tell dad and Nelson I love them and I can't believe that they missed saying goodbye just for a father and son golf tournament".

"Okay we will be off" aunty Stacy grabbed one of my duffel bags and I carried my other two, to the car.

I looked out the window and waved goodbye to my mum and also waved hello to my life for three weeks. The car trip was short as much as I wished it to slow down. We finally arrived at what was to be my home till my parents got back from holiday. It was a nice two story house that had a old Australian vibe to it. I grabbed my bags out of the boot and aunty Stacy helped. I grabbed home on the slightly rusted gold door handle took a deep breath and opened the door. It smelt like freshly baked cookies as the aroma whisked across the air filling my lungs. I walked up the narrow stair case. As she lead me to a room down the the hall.

"You'll be sleeping in Cruz's room he will be sharing with his younger brother for now".

"I'm so sorry I really didn't to in convince anyone I would happily take the couch" -  

I was cut off again by a voice

"Nonsense you are a guest in this house and plus Cruz willingly gave up his room as soon as he heard you where staying". It was uncle Stacy's husband John. The couple where so cute for a pair that where in there 40's. they both had brown hair and green eyes with very light tans.

"Hi John, where the boys?" I said as he embraced me in his arm, he always did smell like the beach mainly cause he loved it and so did his boys. Which was another thing I new I had to learn to love even if I hated it.

"Hi sweetheart there outside in the garden they just got out of the pool" he said realizing he was smothering me he released his clutch.

"Okay I'll just go say hey"

CHAPTER TWO

I walked outside to find Cruz and Kyle. Kyle was the youngest and was turning 14 next mouth. Cruz was the oldest he was only two years older than me. I had the biggest crush on him. He was the reason I fought so hard to stay away from here. I know that sounds crazy but everything we are together I end up making a fool of myself and who knows how much damage I could make in three weeks. I walked down onto the grass where the smell of chlorine intoxicated the air.

"Hey boys" I said trying to limit my amount of words to limit the amount of stupid things that would come out of my mouth.

"Hey how you going" Cruz said in his very sexy australian accent that always made my body shake but this time my focus was on his abs. Droplets of water made there way down one by one as the sun shone against his bare six pack making them glisten. I show my head and forced my eyes into a green and blue pool that stared into mine.

"I'm I'm I'm" the words where playing in my head but it was as if the words from my mouth had escaped and found refuge against his abs. I finally mustered enough strength to say those 5 words.

"I'm fine how about you two"

"Yea where grate" Cruz and Kyle finally said once Kyle noticed my presence again.

Cruz POV

There she stood with those gorgeous dark brown eyes the lead you so deep in I felt as if I could see her soul and those full luscious big lips that only a angel was worthy to touch. She was wearing high waited shorts and a white jumper that fit her small tight urban tanned body perfectly Whenever she comes over all I want to do is hold her but I can't go down that road. I won't let myself be sucked in again not by her or any other girl. He'll how am I gonna get through these three weeks  

" Thanks for giving me your room I really didn't want to burden you" she focused my attention back onto her face. I could see the guilt straight through her beautiful eyes "

"No its fine trust me, you are not a burden nothing of the sought" I said starring into those eyes looking for that twinkle.

" Thank you and anytime u need my bed its yours". She said finally let that twinkle that I had been waiting for shine.

" I'll hold you to that" I said hoping one day maybe she would join in that bed too.

" Nice surf board " she said pointing to my vintage board laying against the cool bricks underneath the wing of the roof.

" Yea is a classic may not be that great on the water but hey it's a hell of a board" I looked over to find her laughing.

"WHAT" what was so funny about what I had said.

"Oh sorry it's just the whole surf thing has never been my thing so..... I guess I never got why u guys love it." I looked at her like she was a from another planet how could she not love the surf it was the one place where I felt sanity in this crazy world.

"Well we will just have to change that" ,she just smiled, shrugged her shoulders and walked inside.

(A/N: hey well that's chapter one and two for you, really hope you enjoyed and there is lots more to come so stay updated. Isn't Vanessa and Cruz a interesting clash of cultures)
