Vacation

Sofia's POV

"Juanpa, I swear to the Lord above, if you let me fall-" he put his finger up to my mouth and 'shh' me.

"I promise, something as beautiful as you are should never even see dirt," I laughed at his comment and went to climb on and jump up.

I grabbed the top of the gate and then pulled myself up. I jumped down to my feet and stood up brushing myself off. Juanpa was just over there clapping as I rolled my eyes. He jumped up in his own and landed right beside me. Grabbing my hand, he pulled me along a dirt road and into the woods. I think he knew I was scared, so he pulled me closer. We walked for a good ten minutes before we came to an opening. It kind of took my breath away, the blue and white waves were beautiful as they fell into a pool. These waterfalls were gorgeous. We walked to a giant rock and climbed on. Setting up the blanket, Juanpa thought of everything.

"Juanpa, this is breath taking," I mentioned as we sat down. I couldn't stop looking at the water, but someone else couldn't keep his eyes off me.

He grabbed my hand and began just playing with my fingers, "I never wanted to take you anywhere boring. You are too special for that."

"I'm not that special, you barely know me. You just know facts," I said pulling my hand away and just sitting a few inches away. "You don't have to show me beautiful places to show me that you like me. You're such a sweet and loving person, you could just show me and I'd know."

He smiled down at his lap and looked up to me. "I don't want to move fast with you. I wanted to do things right by taking you on a date. I really wanted to win you over," he kept looking at his lap.

I lifted his chin up with my pointer finger. I wasn't going to do what he thought I was going to do, but he had other plans. He leaned in and kissed me. I don't want to sound mushy at all, but it was genuinely the best kiss ever. There was nothing crazy, but the feelings that were put into it. I know he really liked me, and I liked him. But I didn't want to move fast so I pulled back.

"Juanpa-" I said, but he cut me off scooting away. "No, no, no," I said scooting closer and he laughed a bit. "I just wanted to keep a thin line between us, if you want to go slow, I can do that," he smiled at my words, because I basically gave him the green light to keep trying.

He stood up and took his shirt off. I was overwhelmed, because he honestly had a great body. I just wasn't prepared for all of that. He took his shoes off and went to take his pants off, but I put my hands up.

"Come swimming," he said and I shook my head.

"I don't have a swim suit," I insisted and he shook his head.

He walked over to me and grabbed my hands, helping me up. "This is our first date and I'm in my Calvins right in front of you. Be free, I'll turn around, but you must come swim. This is such a beautiful place," he smiles and I nod. I motioned for him to turn around and did as told.

"Have you been vlogging since the airport?" He asked as he was about to jump in to the water.

"Not really, I have done much since I've been here. I feel bad. I don't have a ton of fans, but I have enough to want to keep doing it for a living," I answer and he nods. I took off my shirt and pants off. I walked over to the water and slowly walked in. It was so warm, it was kind of like a spring but without the bubbles or anything. I walked over and tapped on Juanpa's shoulder. He turned around and his eyes grew wide. Was I that ugly? I slightly covered myself.

"No, no, no," he pulled my arms away and cupped my cheek. "You are so beautiful," he inched closer. "I'm so happy you gave me this opportunity to 'woo' you. You are such a gorgeous human being. I want to know everything about you. I already know your family, and what you like. But I want to know more. I want to know about your videos and I want to share my success I have gained from my videos. I want to know what drink you get at Starbucks, it sounds stupid, but if I knew small things like that, I would know the real you. And that's all I want," my heart basically melted at his words. I've never had the chance to be treated how he treats me. With such care, and we only just met.
