♢ Laura ♢

If I'm honest I was waiting for him to kiss me, he just seemed so nervous about it. He's been with so many girls in the past I don't see why kissing a different one would make him act that way. But anyway, his kiss was amazing and I didn't want him to pull away. We were just stood there looking at each other now.
"We need to get to our next activity Ryan." I said trying to get him to walk with me, but I was pulled back.
"Wait." He began with a shaky voice. "I just want to promise you that I'm going to take things really slow with you. I've been with too many girls to count, but you are different." He finished before kissing me again, this time it was a quick and hard kiss, almost desperate.

I pulled him back and hugged him, well I kind of squeezed him actually. "Thank you." I whispered while leaning into his chest, appreciating his patience with me. He hugged me back.

His recent efforts had taken me by surprise. In a matter of nearly two weeks, we had never spoken before and now I was stood here in the comfort of his arms. It was basically my dream come true, which sounds super cheesy but when you have liked someone since the beginning of High School and you both end up travelling over four thousand miles from home to realise that the feelings are mutual. It's just crazy. What could possibly go wrong?

I could see that Laura and Ryan were getting closer and closer every day. Part of me was a little jealous. Oscar hadn't spoken to me much lately. 

Almost on cue there was a knock at the door. Rachel and I gave each other a shrug before she got up to answer the door. 

Oscar stood on the otherside of the door, he looked similar to how he looked on the first day I saw him. Still as gorgeous as ever. He gave his sister a small hello before looking directly at me. 
"Fancy a morning walk?" He spoke so casually and continued to bare his eyes into me. 

Part of me thought there may have been a prettier girl sat behind me that he was actually talking to. I mentally shook my head, knowing he was indeed asking me to go for a walk with him. 

"Um, yeah sure!" I cracked an uncontrollable smile and grabbed my denim jacket and shoes. 
"Cool." He chimed back at me. 

"Have fun!" Rachel said to me before giving her brother a stare which I knew said something along the lines of 'Break her heart, I'll break your face.' And I knew she probably would because it was her brother after all. 

I gave her a small smile and a wave before walking out of the cabin with Oscar. 

"So, we have around half an hour to kill before we have to go and do an activity." Oscar walked ahead of me a bit and turned to face me so he was walking backwards. 

"Yeah, did you have anything in mind that you wanted to do, or did you just want to go for a walk?" I asked, trying to engage in conversation. I didn't want to ruin my chances by making awkward small talk with him. 

"Just a walk will do, anything to get to know you better!" He stepped back next to me and casually interlocked our hands like it was something he had done with me before. His touch made me feel all jellyfied. I wasn't complaining though. 

The only thing that got to me about his advances on me was similar to how Rachel probably felt about Matt. We truly lived four thousand miles apart. Knowing that Rachel was now moving to the UK with us gave her an advantage to carry on with Matt. That left me feeling lost about what to do. I decided to just go with it and see where it took us, there was no point worrying about the future.
