we decided to go to the leisure centre, as the weather wasn't the best, and we were all in the mood for a swim and slides.

i put on light blue bikini bottoms and a light pink bikini top, reece just putting on dark blue trunks, george and blake in the same, and i left my necklace on as we walked into the water, and i immediately swam to the deepest part, the boys following me.

as i looked around, i noticed a life guard that was really cute and he looked at me, flashing me a cute smile, which i returned.

"he has really nice legs." i said to reece quietly, "why do boys have nice legs? it's not fair." i whined, giggling, and reece looked over.

"come on." he said, lacing our fingers and pulling me out of the pool, and i smiled at his protective side.

we grabbed inflatable "donuts" and walked up the stairs to the top of the ride, queueing behind about ten other people.

"do you want to go first?" i offered.

"sure." reece nodded, and i saw the same guy from the pool walking up the steps and chatting to the other lifeguard, previously at the top of the slide we were queueing for, and they rotated.

reece's arm gently slipped around my waist as i giggled, "you can't laugh at me when i finish."

"i'm sure you'll look as hot as ever." reece smirked and i nudged him pretty hard, and he dropped his "donut", causing me to laugh.

"yeah, i'll definitely laugh at you." he teased and i pouted, and he placed a kiss to my temple.

i heard a female squeal and turned around, as a girl ran up to me excitedly.

"hi." i smiled, putting the "donut" down, so she could hug me, before she went and hugged reece.

"you okay?" reece asked softly and she nodded.

"yeah, thank you. i love the two of you." she giggled softly.

"aw, thank you." i smiled.

"thanks, have a good day." reece smiled as well, as the girl ran back to her oblivious friends, and she explained who we were.

reece lay on his back across the donut at the top of the slide, and i giggled at him, sticking my fist out, and we fist-bumped before the cute life guard pushed him down.

"hi." he smiled, turning to me as i got on. "are you famous?"

"um, kinda, i guess. i'm a youtuber, and reece is a singer." i said, guessing he would realise reece was the guy that'd just gone before me.

"oh, okay. what's your name?"

"ella." i smiled.

"i'm jake." he smiled too, "are you ready?"

i nodded and he moved, giving my "donut" a push.

throughout the next hour or two, the boys and i went on all the rides and all the pools, and i occasionally caught the cute lifeguard's eye, but felt kinda awkward, and he occasionally spoke to me, each time reece got a little more annoyed, sighing or rolling his eyes.

i extended my hand to reece as we got out and walked back to the changing rooms, but he ignored my gesture, and after we got our stuff from a locker, he went into a different cubicle to me, unlike when we came and he insisted on us getting changed together.

"reece?" i asked softly once the four of us'd left, and he simply nodded in response.

"reece." i repeated, and he looked at me, as i held his jaw with my thumb and two fingers. "i love you." i mumbled, but he looked down, a hint of sadness covering his features, and i let go of his face, sighing, becoming upset myself.

"it's alright, don't worry." george said softly, loosely putting an arm around my shoulder as we walked back.

i sat on the sofa, reece having ignored me a lot, and he was currently upstairs with george, as blake sat on the other sofa, watching a movie with me.

"reece, please." i said when he came back down, george following.

"i'm sorry." he mumbled, gently cupping my face, before grabbing my hand and leading me into the next room.

"was it because of the lifeguard?" i asked and he nodded. "oh, baby. in no way did i fancy or like him, and you know i love you a lot, and i wouldn't blatantly be a bitch like that." i cooed softly.

"i'm sorry, i love you, i was just kind of worried you liked him, and didn't want to get hurt." he mumbled, wrapping his arms tightly around my waist and pulling me in for a hug, as my arms went around his shoulders, and i placed a kiss to the crook of his neck.

"you're my number one." i laughed, him grinning as i pulled away and pecked his lips.

"ditto." he smirked, and we returned to the living room.
