Bathing suits, water shoes and life vests on and I find myself floating on a jet ski. The water is so beautifully clear you can almost see straight to the bottom. I find it weird that paparazzi haven't found Rob yet, but I'm not complaining.

We learn the basics from an instructor, also on a jet ski who accompanies us and is there in case of any mishaps.

"I bet I can beat you in a race from here to there" he points at the buoy (the floating thing in the water that serves for navigational purposes).

"You want a head start old man?"

He laughs and says "I think you might need one babe!"

"Ready? Set!" I begin the countdown. "Go!"

And we are off, I hit the pedal to the metal but some idiot on another jet ski literally comes out of no where. I try my best to dodge him knocking myself completely off the jet ski, even the safety belt cut off. I'm underwater and terrified. I try my best to swim up but I feel as if I'm doing nothing. The life vest! I pull on it and it activates. I float up to the surface and I feel hands around my waist, Robert.

"Amber! Amber! Are you ok? Talk to me"

"I'm ok! I'm ok! I'm right here Robert you're holding on to me." He's even more terrified than I am. He moves the hair out of my face and hugs me tight.

"What the hell you asshole!" He yells out at the guy on the jet ski.

"Babe relax, I'm ok, I just fell off. I'm ok babe I'm here. Look at me."

"I just got so scared when I couldn't find you in the water"

"It was only a few seconds and you know I have a life vest on. Hey, relax babe, leave the asshole alone" he smiles at me and waves at the instructor signaling that everything is ok.

"Amber I love you. Twice in three weeks you scare me!"

I can't help it I have to say it. "I love you too Robert." And wow it feels so perfect saying it. Screw what I said about time, I can feel it now. Here we are, floating in the San Juan waters under the hot sun. He kisses me and we swim to the instructor who helps us back on our jet skis.

We enjoy the jet skis a little while longer, Robert wont take his eyes off me and its not because he's horny. The instructor for the jet skis is also the instructor for scuba diving! Very convenient. He leads us to a boat not too far off where we were and he runs us through the basics of scuba diving, and we jump in. I can't believe the courage I have now. I would never in a million years agree to this even if you paid me! Robert makes me feel so safe, safe enough to leave my door open at night.

Underwater it is absolutely beautiful. Many different fish and colors of all sorts. Rob holds my hand and we swim farther. I look at him and he smiles back at me. All of a sudden he pulls me to him, our scuba masks clashing against each other and it makes us laugh. We spend an hour underwater, there was a 10 minute break in between and when we come up I am speechless.

"Rob that was amazing."

"Happy graduation my love" he kisses me in the sight of the instructor who can't help but smile. Even though graduation is a week away, I feel as though I have accomplished so much more.

We head back to the beach, towards the section where our suite is closest to at about four in the afternoon and he spreads a blanket out for us to lay on. Out of no where a waiter comes up to us, on the BEACH! He hands Robert a picnic basket and Robert tips him. The look on my face provokes this response out of him, "What? You've never had a waiter bring you food on the beach?" He says with a smirk.

I raise my hands up surrendering, I was speechless anyway. I can't question the things he does sometimes. In the basket there are two sets of burgers with fries and two bottles of water. He is so funny.

"You're so funny sometimes Rob."

"I'm glad to entertain you babe" he says with a wink. We enjoy our meal and since we have nearly five hours before the club opens, we head to the suite. I run to the bedroom to choose the outfit I'm going to wear tonight, I want to look absolutely delectable. I go into the living room and I have to stop my self from laughing, Rob passed out on the sofa while watching TV. My handsome man, he looks so calm and peaceful asleep. I let him rest for another hour while I go on Facebook and talk to my friends and family that know of my relationship with Robert.

I spend almost an hour talking to my best friend Serena who goes to school with me as well and is thrilled that I'm dating Iron Man.

"So how is the vacay?!" She asks excitedly.

"We made love Serena. And... Wait for it, are you sitting down?"

"Yea! Tell me!"

"He told me he loves me."

"Oh my god. Wow... He meant it?"

"We had a small talk and yes, he did, I did too."

"So that means you said it back. That's so sweet. I'm so happy for you Amber! When you get back we need to double date. Alex is dying to meet Iron Man." Alex is her boyfriend since middle school years, I'm waiting on him to propose already!

We end the conversation with "love you" and "miss you" and "see you soon" and I go into the living room to see that Robert is still sleeping. Poor guy, he's beat.

I step into the shower and wash my hair when I feel hands on my hips. I flip out for a second and then embrace Rob's hands.

"You startled me babe."

"Sorry sexy, I couldn't contain myself. The shower woke me up and I couldn't help but imagine you in here naked..." He kisses, sucks and bites on my shoulder and I know he wants me, bad.
