The next morning you wake up laying in a very awkward position on the couch, your head is throbbing & your make up totally smudged, It takes you a minute to remember where you are & you laugh a little when you see all your friends also just laying around the room sleeping. You’re the first 1 awake & you look to your right & see George also asleep on the couch, his arm rested across his face. You stand up, dizzy from the hangover, & you carefully try to find your bag & your shoes in amongst the mess & cautiously make your way to the bathroom to wash the make up from your face & clean yourself up a bit. When you see yourself in the mirror, you’re so happy that no one has seen you yet. After brushing your hair & washing your face, you walk out of the bathroom just as Josh, Mollie & George are all waking up. You laugh a little when you realize that they’re all just as disorientated as you were. ‘Morning’ you say. ‘Is it morning already?’ Josh says & you laugh.

You make your way back to the couch, stepping carefully over Tilly, Jaymi & Olly who are asleep on the floor & sit back down next to George. Rubbing his eyes with this right hand, he wraps his left arm around you & quietly says ‘Morning Gorgeous’

You lean slightly into him and put your bag on your lap & pull out a pack of pain killers and hand them to him ‘Oh my god, you’re a life saver’ he says & you both laugh.

An hour or so later when everyone has woken up & you’re all just sitting up talking, not too loudly because you all still have major headaches, you realize that you’re all still wearing what you had on yesterday, so you & all the girls decide to go back to your rooms and shower & change. After doing so you head back to meet the boys & they’ve all gotten up & dressed to. You start thinking to yourself that you can’t believe you only met these boys yesterday, but you’re already really close & you feel like you’ve all been friends for years.

George grabs your hand as he stands up from sitting on the edge of the bed and you help pull him up to his feet, he probably had more to drink than the rest of you, so he’s still feeling pretty fragile & you know it shouldn’t, but it makes you laugh when he makes that scrunched up squinting face.

’So are we going back down to the beach?’ Jaymi says. You all agree & George just makes a slight grunting agreement sound as he holds his arm over his eyes and is feeling around on the bedside table for his sunglasses. Which makes you laugh again. ‘Don’t worry Georgey, we’ll find a nice shady place to sit in’ Jaymi says.

You all make your way down to the beach and find a nice secluded spot in the shade of some trees. George sits with his back up against 1 of the trees and you sit beside him and lay your legs over the top of his.

’C’mere’ he says and picks you up by your waist and sits you on his lap, you both giggle, his head’s feeling much better now. You turn slightly to your side and wrap your right arm around his neck.

As the day goes by, you all have a lot of fun just hanging out together, swapping stories and jokes, playing silly games like rock, paper, scissors, and singing along to the portable radio that JJ brought with him.

Still sitting on George’s lap, his left arm wrapped around your waist, with his hand on your stomach, he rests his chin on your shoulder and whispers ‘Can we go somewhere & talk?’

 You turn around to him with a slight sweet smile & say ‘Sure’

You stand up and brush the sand off of yourself & take George’s hand to help him to his feet.

The 2 of you kick off your flip-flops and head down to the edge of the water, walking slowly, holding hands.

”I know we only met yesterday, but I …really like you. You’re the first girl I’ve felt this way about in a long time.

I like hanging out with you, you make me laugh, you’re so beautiful, I just… I just wanted to know If you felt the same way?” George says, stumbling over some of this words and every so often, looking down at his feet because he’s nervous about your reaction

Your hand holds onto George’s just a little tighter as you say “took you long enough”  & you giggle a little. He looks up, with a sweet loving smile on his face. He laughs softly as you smile back and the 2 of you just walk along the shore, swinging your hands between you.

After a while you both realize that the sun in starting to set & that you have walked about half a mile down the beach, so you turn around to start walking back. You talk a lot more on the way back, getting to know each other better and the more you talk, the more you like each other. Just as you can see your friends over by the trees off in a distance a little George says “Hang on a second…” you stop & look as him a little puzzled. He lets go of your hand and places his hands on your waist, as he pulls you close, he’s nervous but knows that he just has to go for it, he plants his lips on yours and you kiss back as your hands run up his arms and link together behind his neck. His kiss is so soft & perfect & with every second passing you can feel yourself falling for him even more….
