Can't Sleep... Love? (Mavi)

Day Twenty-Five

The next morning I wake up fresh and ready for my date with Avi. I shower, have a little breakfast and pack up a bag with everything I need, before getting ready in the bathroom. A spread a thick layer of high protective sunscreen on my whole body, put on my swimming trunks and style my hair, using only a little bit of product, because I want to keep it natural and wavy.

After the sunscreen has set I put a light, colourful blouse and am ready to go. I choose to wait outside, because I haven't heard anything from Scott and Alex, yet and don't want to wake them up from Avi using the doorbell.

I don't have to wait long, Avi arrives right on time. I jump into his car and together we ride a little bit out of town to a cove that is not too busy and search for a spot for the two of us.

"I love your hair like that" Avi compliments me once we've settled down.

I smile at him. "Thank you, Avi."

"There's that smile, again." Avi winks at me.

"Smooth, Avi!" I giggle. "Now let me lay back and tan!"

Avi chuckles and takes out a book, probably about dragons. "Just do you."

We both lay back and just enjoy the time we spend together. I let myself roast in the warm sun for a while, occasionally talking to Avi or reading in the book I brought.

"I wanna take a dip in the sea, Mitchy, you're coming?" Avi puts his book away and gets up, taking my hand.

"Sure, why not!" I let him pull me up and together we walk to the water. It's chilly, yet very refreshing, so we get in rather quickly until we can still stand comfortably.

"Shall we swim out a bit?" Avi asks as I stop.

"I'm not really comfortable being out in open water where I can't stand" I say meekly. I'd rather stay here and mess around!"

Avi raises his eyebrows. "Mess around? What do you m-"

He can't finish his sentence, because I pull him down, making him dash down into the clear water, pushing his head under water only for a second.

When he comes up again, he looks at me, shaking his head, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "You really shouldn't have done that, Mitchy!"

"So what if I di- Avi, don't!" I start screaming, thrashing and kicking when he tickles my sides, easily picking me up bridal style.

"I stopped, so would you please stop punching me" he says mockingly and holds me tight, taking both of my hands into one of his.

I calm down, breathing hard from laughing and screaming so much. "Okay, okay, let me down now?"

"I don't think so" Avi remarks and smirks. "Let's do some diving, shall we?"

"Noo, please" I whine.

"Why not" he wants to know, probably wondering if I'm scared or just whining because. Which I am, to be honest.

"You're mean" I pout but he just chuckles at that.

"You were the one who ducked me, Mitchy. Now take a deep breath. You trust me, right?"

Such a simple question, yet it meant so much more. I look up into his clear green eyes and suddenly everything feels clear, I don't even have to think about it before nodding. "I trust you, Avi" I whisper.

I squeeze my eyes and wait for the dive but it never comes. I just feel his soft lips on mine, giving me a short, careful peck. My eyes flicker open and I look at him, slightly confused at first but then I smile.

"I missed being able to kiss you" he confesses. "But you said you needed to trust me again and that's why I asked. I hope I wasn't overstepping, I-"

"Let me down, Avi" I demand, effectively stopping his nervous babbling.

He does so, directly, opening his mouth again, probably apologise for going too far but I am having none of it. Instead I throw my arms around his neck, pulling him in to me, kissing him with all my heart.

Although he is certainly caught by surprise, he reacts directly, kissing me back with so much force that it makes me almost feel dizzy.

When we part again, both left totally breathless and flustered, I smile up at him. "I missed this, too, Avi" I say softly, before pressing my lips on his' again, this time slow and tender.

A/N: I needed fluff!!! So I hoped you enjoyed this little chapter.

Thanks to those who left me kind comments after my little breakout of feels yesterday. Although I don't know you personally I am really touched that my fluff brightens your day a little bit more just as your kind comments and votes do.
