Troye and I woke up entangled within one another. He had slept in the guest bedroom with me last night. We only slept.
His legs were pressed up against mine, and my arms were wrapped around his body. Troye's head rested in the crook of my neck, and I felt his soft breathing. I felt every inhale and every exhale he produced.
I was the first one awake, of course, but as I slightly jerked, Troye spoke. "Noooooooooo." He said with a very tired, raspy voice. His eyes were still closed. "Stayyyyy." I smiled and kissed his forehead. "We need to get up at some point." I said as I released from kissing Troye. "I want to stay here forever and ever and ever." He said to me. "Me too Troye," I paused. "Me too." I pulled Troye closer and held him tight for a minute or so before insisting on getting up. Troye was disappointed, but didn't disagree.
When Troye and I got up, we realized that it was almost noon. "Damn." I said, "We slept really well."
"Yeah, I guess so."
The two of us had breakfast. While we were eating, Laurelle told us about how she wanted to go to the beach with the whole family. But when she said family, she didn't say 'family and Connor', she just said 'family'. I was considered family around here. What a feeling.
Troye and I had matching swimming trunks which we thought was really stupid, but also really funny. He knows I like maroon, which is why mine were maroon, and I know he likes blue, I'd think that he would've had blue swim trunks. Either way, we both got a laugh out of it, as did the other Mellets.
Troye's family and I spent the whole day at the beach, and I actually found a really cute starfish. In other words, the day was amazing. At the end of the day, as the sun was setting, we decided to take some really nice pictures all together. All of the Mellets and I started off by trying to set a timer with the camera and jumping to get one of those cliché jumping at the beach pictures all together. It took ages, but we finally got it right.
After a duration, I put my shirt back on and walked to the rim of the ocean waves to watch the sunset for a bit. Every so often I would here camera shutters click. Looking around wildly, I found that Troye had been taking pictures of me. "Troye! Stop." I laughed as I yelled at him from a distance. "No! You look cute. Give me a smile!" I laughed for a second hearing the camera shutters click again. I then gave off an awkward smile that made it look like I was about to laugh, but trying to holding it back. "Okay Troye, that's enough!"
"No it isn't!" He yelled back almost instantly. I laughed, even though I was getting a little frustrated. The laugh was still genuine. Troye circled me taking billions of pictures. Then he approached me, still taking pictures. "I'll never get enough of you." He whispered as he passed by my ears. I didn't think I could fall in love over and over again with the same person, but Troye found a way to make it possible.
