*Recap*
"I'm sorry," I cried into his neck as tears started leaking out of my eyes and he pulled me closer. "You have nothing to be sorry for. Absolutely nothing," he said softly as he kissed my head.

I sighed before I pulled away and wiped away the couple of tears that escaped my eyes. "Are you okay?" he asked gently and I nodded. "Sorry about that. I don't know what happened," I said and he frowned. "Was that a panic attack or..." he trailed off and I shook my head. "No. My panic attacks are a little worse. My breath gets extremely wheezy and my vision gets blurry and spots. Also I kind of lose strength, but let's not worry about that," I said and he looked at me worried. "Can I get you anything?" Ross asked and I nodded. "Yeah uhm- can you pour me some Fanta Grape? Sugar usually helps me and it has a lot of sugar," I said and he immediately went to the fridge, quickly taking out the Fanta and a glass before handing it to me after he poured it. "Thank you," I said as I took the glass with shaking hands before quickly drinking it.

After half of it was finished, I moved to the cabinets and got out three chip bowls. They were flat and had a circle in the middle, for dip. I took out three sorts of dip from the fridge and placed them in the middle after opening them. I got bags of chips out of the cabinet and opened them before spreading the chips out on the bowls. "Drink the rest, please," Ross asked as he handed me the half glass of Fanta and I drank it. "Oh my love," Ross sighed before pulling me into his arms. "Sorry that I'm so full of trouble," I said and he chuckled softly. "I love you and all your troubles. Besides we all have them," he said and I rose an eyebrow at him. "Yeah? And what's yours?" I asked. "I get really cranky when I don't get enough sleep. Before I met you I was practically addicted to my phone and I get jealous very easily when it comes to you," he said and I giggled softly. "Here you go. For you guys," I said as I handed him one of the chip bowls and he thanked me. I grabbed the other two before walking out again. I handed one of the bowls to Stormie and Mark and they thanked me before I walked away again, not wanting to see another look from Stormie again. I placed the last chip bowl, that was the girls', on the table near us and they thanked me before grabbing some chips with dip. "Are you alright now?" Ross asked softly as he placed his hands on my hips and I smiled at him. "I'm fine," I said. "You sure you don't want to go to bed or something? You look tired," Ross said as he lightly rubbed under my eyes. "I'm fine. I promise. Go swim and enjoy yourself," I said and he smiled at me. "Okay. Come and join me later, yeah?" he requested and I nodded. "And shout if you need me," he said sternly and I nodded. "I promise," I said softly before he leaned down and gave me a soft, quick kiss.

I stood up from the chair, tired of tanning before walking to the pool. I sat down at the deep end, dipping my legs into the pool allowing my legs to cool off in the cool water. "Hi," Ross said as he appeared in front of me. He was in the pool and I was sitting on the edge. "Hi," I said as he trailed his fingers up and down my legs that was underneath the water and I smile lightly. "Having fun?" I asked as I trailed my fingers through his hair and he let out a soft, content sigh. He hummed before speaking, "I am. You enjoying your tan, love?" he asked softly before placing a kiss on my non-bruised knee. "Yeah I guess, but my shoulders are getting sore," I said and he frowned adorably before crossing his arms and placing them on my thighs. "Then you should spray on some more sunscreen. I don't want you to burn," he said and I giggled softly causing him to smile. "You look so beautiful when you laugh," he said softly and I blushed. "No I don't," I shook my head and he rolled his eyes. "Yes you do. Now cmon. Give me a kiss," he said before puckering his lips and I giggled at him. "Everyone will see," I said and he rose a careless eyebrow. "Okay, so?" he questioned carelessly and I rolled my eyes. I leaned down before grabbing his cheek with me right hand and placing my lips on his. As our lips moved together I felt the usual fireworks causing me to smile. I will never get use to that feeling of kissing him. I pulled away and opened my eyes and saw him looking at me unimpressed, obviously expecting our kiss to last longer. "Sorry," I shrugged and he furrowed his eyebrows. "C'mon, Tori we're engaged and we are getting married. We're gonna kiss in front of them for longer someday," Ross said as he drew patterns on my thigh while his arm were still crossed. "I know that, but that day is not today," I said and he grinned at me. "Come swim with me," he pleaded and I sighed. "Riker and Ratliff are going to pick Delly and Sav up and throw them in the pool. I'm doing you a favour, babygirl. I don't want to throw you in the pool and you're mad at me," he pouted adorably and I giggled. "Oh please! You'll throw me in the pool anyway," I said and he chuckled. "On another day I would, but I don't want to risk it today. Not with everything that happened," he said softly, making sure no one heard and I smiled at him. "I appreciate that," I said and he uncrossed his arms and placed them on the edge besides my body. "C'mon," he said and I sighed. I took my hair out of the bun and felt my curly hair rest on the small of my back and threw my hair band on my chair. I noticed Riker and Ratliff climb out of the pool and before they could get me I quickly slipped into the pool and gasped at the cold water. "See that wasn't so hard," Ross said playfully as he wrapped his arm around my waist and I rolled my eyes. We both had a hand on the edge, because the pool was deep and not even Ross could stand here.
