DELLA

The beach we went to was absolutely beautiful.

The clear, blue water was sparkling and it licked the sand everytime it crashed upon the shoreline.

"Are those caves?" I asked pointing to a bunch of cliffs on the other side of the beach. Michael nodded and smiled. "Yup. We can check them out later if you'd like?" He asked and I nodded enthusiastically.

He then took my hand and we looked for a spot in the middle of the beachfront. We laid our towels down and Luke immediately laid down to soak up the sun.

Calum and Ashton had a football and were kicking it around shirtless and maybe I admired Ashton's toned body but nobody needed to know that.

I timidly took my sweatshirt off, slowly revealing a blue and black bikini hiding underneath a tiny crop top.

"Cute." Michael said wrapping his arms around me. I blushed and stepped away from him, taking my shirt off and slipping out of my denim shorts.

"Race you to the water." I said and ran away from him. I heard a string of curses and giggled as I hit the water.

It was so warm and I stood there, the low waves hitting my thighs as I took in the feeling of freedom. And for a moment, I wished I was a mermaid. Until I heard a splash and I yelped as I was pulled underwater.

When I surfaced, seconds later and soaking wet, a pair of arms wrapped around me and warm breath hit my neck as Michael giggled.

"You dick." I said, pretending to be mad.

"Awh, angel I'm sorry. In my defense, you let your guard down and I'm just getting you back for running away from me." He said and kissed my shoulder. "Fuck off." I said.

"Language baby." Michael said playfully and kissed my jaw.

"Go away." I said, hiding a smile.

All of a sudden, Michael turned me around and held my shoulders. Brown eyes met green and I shivered. He leaned in so our foreheads were touching and I drew in a breath. "Please forgive me angel?" He said lowly, and then attached our lips. I immediately kissed back and though it only lasted a few seconds, it made me weak in the knees.

"I was just kidding." I said and bit my lip before stealing another kiss. I felt Michael's hands migrate down to my hips and he squeezed, his nails digging into my skin. Then he growled. "Don't do that sweetheart."

"M'sorry Mikey." I whispered and gave him a peck. He nuzzled his cheek against mine before pulling away.

"C'mon, let's swim."

MICHAEL

Della looked stunning.

Her bikini showed off her curves and the blue and black was a nice contrast against her tan skin. Which, by the way, was glowing in the sunlight.

As we dived and splashed around, I admired the way her brown hair was meshed together by the water and the way the water droplets ran down her skin and my eyes trailed down as I watched them race.

"Helloooo, Mikey what are you staring at?" Della asked, tilting her to head slightly. She reminded me of a kitten.

"You." I said bluntly. She blushed and looked away, covering her torso with her arms.

"Don't, you're beautiful." I said and pulled her arms away. I placed my hands on her waist and caressed the wet skin there with my thumbs.

"Stop, that tickles." Della said breathlessly. Her eyes had closed and her body had tensed up the littlest bit.
