"You have now arrived at your destination. The exists are to the north west and north east of your seats. Enjoy your stay on the Barbados Island" I woke up to hearing a very soothing flight attendant. Looking around, I could see everyone clicking themselves out and grabbing their bags from the shelves above. Safia was asleep also, so I tapped her lightly.
"Please tell me were here" she slurred . I laughed at her cuteness.
"How hot!" Charlie fixed his bag on his shoulder and lay down on the floor in what looked like a very uncomfortable position. Parisa jabbed his belly with the heel of her shoe, to which he groaned loudly. Soon enough, a minibus drove beside the plane and we we're taken to our hotel. It was beautiful; the Atlantis hotel. Right in front of the ocean, I could see Barbados from where I was standing, but I couldn't help but think where everyone else was.
We were shown to our rooms, which were beautiful. Me and Safia shared a double room with a sea view, our own bathroom which had a jacuzzi in it.
"This is the life" Safia dropped her bag and collapsed onto the bed. Just then our suitcases were delivered to our rooms. I heard Parisa shout "OCEAN" so we both got changed into our bikinis, took some flip flops, towels and our phones and waited outside for everyone. I saw Charlie eye up Safia in her backless costume, but she had a great figure. We walked down to the ocean, where we met the mentors. They all brought drinks and spoke about this being a week away from the stress, but once we get back we have to get busy. My heart sunk a little, remembering that we were actually on a show. We sat around a parasol and got this fruit salad out, which tasted amazing. Simon mentioned how the rest of the groups were missing out, and I remembered about Reece. They still didn't arrive at the hotel, and it was getting to that sunset stage. I texted him asking where he was but it didn't even deliver which got me even more worried.
"Don't worry, I'm a bit scared as well" Safia tapped my arm and hugged me. I have her a hopeless smile and looked down at my phone, hoping there would be a reply any moment soon. I felt water touch my back, when I looked up I saw Charlie standing in the ocean with the rest of his group.
"Come on girls" they were all screaming. We left our phones on the table and ran into the ocean. I went underwater and I could see the coral, the colourful fish, it was beautiful. We swam until it was dark, and by that time the mentors had gone back to their room or whatever. We went back to our chairs and sat down, just talking about the waterpark there was in the hotel. We were all going to go tomorrow, if everyone turned up. Just then my eyes were covered and I was pulled back into the sand, lying face up. I heard the boys screaming and laughing, then I felt a quick kiss. I took their hands off and FINALLY, Reece had arrived. I pulled him down and have him a long hug, kissing him all over his face whilst he laughed at my 'mumsy' behaviour.
"I missed you too but Jesus" he took my arms off of him and smiled at me. The light from the lanterns made his face flow so beautifully. I blushed a little and he took me off on a little walk across the beach. Everyone else was too busy fighting in the water, trying to drown each other that they didn't notice. This was the first time we actually held hands in public, and it felt so relieving.
"Where were you guys" I swung our arms.
"They pilot took a detour that took way longer than expected. I'm sorry" he stopped and put his arms around my waist. I smiled
"It wasn't your fault. We should get back though" I turned around and started walking back to the hotel, but he picked me up and took me to a little beach house nearby. He dropped my inside and shut the door. Inside was really cute, it was all wooden logs but there was a small lamp and bean bags. No windows, very secretive. I lay down on the floor and closed my eyes, taking in the tranquility.
"Why did you bring me in here" I asked him. He hovered above me.
"I wanted to spend some time with you since I haven't seen you all day" he bent down and kissed me. I put my hands around his damp neck and he lifted me up, we just sat there, kissing, embracing everything around us. It was very heated, but loved and passionate. He stopped and lay his forehead against mine.
"You're good" he laughed. I slapped his chest in embarrassment, leaving a red mark.
"Bit dangerous, sorry" I grinned. He gave me a quick peck, then the door opened. I slid back and looked to the door - Lauren.
We were busted
