INSTINCTS

CHAPTER THREE

Vanessa POV

We all sat around for dinner and ate Chinese, usually I would be all over my sweet and sour pork but today was different. I wasn't the type that was home sick but it did take me awhile to get used to my surroundings.

"So Vanessa you all packed for the camping trip tomorrow" ,my aunt Stacy blurted out trying to take the topic of surf boards.

"Packed for what?", I asked puzzled were they shipping me off already.

"Didn't your mum tell you?",She said just as puzzled as I was.

"The big camping trip",Cruz said focusing my attention to him.

"The what trip",I said hoping my hearing was just off.

"The camping trip we go on every holidays we thought you would love to came and experience it" ,uncle John said trying to make it sound the least bit interesting.

"Yea we always go up to the coast for a week every holidays and just chill, surf and have great barbecues, Kyle said beaming as if it was some five star resort.

"Yea who doesn't love sand, bugs, cold nights and be eaten to death by mosquitos", I said doing some advertising of my own.

"It will be fun just make sure you pack enough clothes for a week" ,Cruz said with the most breath taking smile.

"A week that sounds fun, what time do we leave",I said contemplating making a run for it but I had been camping before and both times where quiet enjoyable but nothing like this.

"We will be off at sunrise so be ready by 5:30 am" John commanded as if he was a military Sargent.

"Okay, um if you well excuse me I better start packing and get a goods night rest so, GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE!" I pronounced trying to make the best of a very long week ahead"

I walked into Cruz's room it was actually pretty nice he had a really big double bed and a bunch of trophies and posters hung up. It smelt like aftershave but I didn't mind it reminded me of my dad. I walked up to his oak shelfs and examined his trophies,he had a lot of surfing 1st place ribbons and cups. I let my index finger run circles around each one as if it was memorizing the feel. When I finally came a across a big gold cup. I pulled myself away from his impressive collection and got ready for bed. I had just gotten comfy when Cruz walked in.

"You okay, I hope the beds comfy", he said with such sincerity.

"Yea it's great actually thanks again for letting me use your bed", I said hoping nothing dumb would come out of my mouth.

"Anytime well you better hit the sack goodnight buttercup" he said in sweetest tone that made me my body melt.

"Good night Cruz" that's all I remember till being working up to a big panic.

CHAPTER FOUR

Cruz POV

I woke up with a jolt my dad was blowing his dang whistle that urged you to get up and yank it out of his hand. I wouldn't dare to do that because one I couldn't be stuffed to walk out of my room yet and two,I liked the camping trips and I wanted to be alive for this one. I managed to peel myself out of bed and get ready for a shower. The air was still cool and the sun had barely risen. I managed to dodge my still groggy brother and head for the shower. I grabbed the brass handle and push it open to find a shocking discover.

"Oh My Gosh, I am so sorry I swear I didn't know", she just stood there speechless in a black lace matching bra and undies trying to cover her dignity. I quickly such the door in realization that this was not a situation I wanted to be caught in. SHIT, what am I meant to do know she probably thinks I'm a pervert. Man her body is to die for those toned legs, her curved hips that perky butt her br-. What am I thinking I shouldn't have seen that and I'm sure she is deadly embarrassed right now. Great way to quick off the first week.

Vanessa POV

Oh My Gosh I can't believe that just happened to me, I can't believe Cruz just saw me half naked. Once more i also cant believe that i just stood there half naked with my mouth open like a idiot. What must he think of me now but come on who doesn't knock before entering.

I quickly got changed and did my hair. I thought it would be cool to get into the camping spirt. So I wore camo converses, that complimented my light green high waisted shorts, with a green tank top and through over a black lace cover over crop top that I tucked into my shorts and throw my jet black hair into a mid high ponytail with to strands of hair dangling down on each side of my face.

I slowly opened the door to see if Cruz was in the hallway, I wasn't ready to face him yet and it seemed as if the coast was clear. I quickly hurried down to the kitchen where it seemed aunty Stacy was preparing food for the camp and breakfast.

"Good morning darling, how did u sleep", aunty Stacy asked as she busily hurried around the kitchen.

"Good morning, yea I slept well practically like a full baby", even though I spent most of the night thinking about Cruz and this trip and how my parents and brother are getting on.

"That's good to hear would you like some breakfast", she smiled back.

"Um sure ill just have a slice of toast and watch TV thanks",I replied, I wasn't really that hungry. I grabbed a piece of toast and plopped myself on the coach and watched some TV. Time seemed to pass when through the corner on my eye I spotted Cruz coming down the hallway and in my direction.

"Hey Vanessa could you give me a hand placing the bags in the trailer?", I knew this was his sneaky way of trapping me into talking about before.

"Um yea sure", I spoke with uneasiness in my voice ready or not we where gonna speak.

I followed him down to the garage where all the bags where placed last night by request or shall I say commanded by uncle John.
