Holiday of a Lifetime (A Josh Cuthbert/Union J fan fiction)

Chapter 5

"You... you... you" I stuttered, I couldn't seem to formulate any words from my mouth and I sat there like an idiot, staring at him and trying to get my head around what was happening. Josh Cuthbert, the boy I have been dreaming about since X factor 2012, was kneeling right next to me, looking at me like I had lost my mind; confusion and now a look of worry was starting to appear on his face.

"Seriously, are you ok? You haven't hurt your head have you, you fell down pretty fast. The chips went flying. I think the tray may have flown over the balcony and landed in the swimming pool... I..."

I started giggling at his random conversation, he was clearly worried, and the sense of concern in his voice made me feel comfortable and almost relaxed around him. As soon as I started laughing, his shoulders dropped and he let out a big sigh of relief.

"Oh phew, I was starting to really worry about you, please just tell me you are ok?" He stared at me with big blue eyes and I had to stop myself from getting lost in them, and remind myself I needed to start answering him because he was in fact talking to me.

"I'm fine, I'm fine" I assured him quickly, "It hurt, but yeh I'm fine. I didn't even see you when I walked out here because of the sun, I'm such an idiot!"

"Whoa you are not an idiot!" His eyes were completely focused on mine, holding a steady gaze. It was overwhelming and intense, I felt like I wanted to look away but at the same time I never wanted to look away, ever.

I blushed and finally managed to break his gaze, looking at the ground I was still sat on. "I know who you are... Oh that sounded weird, I mean, I know your name is Josh Cuthbert" He looked at me with a slight grin. "I'm a huge fan of Union J, I mean... I should just stop talking I think". I have never felt more embarrassed in my life, I was mumbling complete nonsense and was just staring at the ground, I couldn't bring myself to look at him.

"Oh I see, well that doesn't make you a complete stalker then" I looked up just in time to see a huge grin on his face and he shot me a wink that made my heart completely melt.

I started to giggle, "No, I'm really not! Can we just start again? My name is Lily, Lily Smith, what's your name?" I gave him a sheepish smile and held out my hand. I was expecting him to shake it, like most people do when you have just met. But no, instead he held onto my hand and didn't let go.

"Hello Lily, my name is Josh, Josh Cuthbert" Again with that wink! It was enough to make me feel weak, and be thankful I was sat on the ground.

"So what were you doing out here anyway?" I asked.

"I was just looking out over the sea, and it's a bit quieter up here compared to down by the pool, a bit more relaxing." He let out a little sigh which I picked up on; it must be nice for him to get away from the craziness of touring, albums and hundreds of fans around him nearly all the time. It then dawned on me that I was sort of invading his relaxing, and I immediately felt guilty.

"Oh, I'm really sorry, I should get going and let you relax..." I started to begin mumbling again, and was about to get up and leave when he squeezed my hand a little tighter and smiled at me.

"I didn't mean I wanted you to go, I really want you to stay actually." The fact he wanted me to stay made me blush again and made me feel ridiculously happy, but I was starting to feel really hot sitting outside in the heat, so I slowly stood upright and suggested we head in doors. "Sounds like a good idea, shall we head down to the swimming pool, a chance to cool off a bit" he suggested, I nodded in agreement and we headed back down the marble staircase, my hand still intertwined with his.
