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

Chapter 6

As we walked back through the lounge, my heart was racing. I couldn't believe what was happening. But I knew that I had to stay calm and not act really strange. So I asked him what I thought was the most casual question, I didn't think about how stupid it was though.

"So, what are you doing here?" As soon as it came out of my mouth I realised how ridiculous I sounded, of course I knew what he was doing here, he was on holiday!

"Ha! I'm on holiday, just like you" He laughed, "now it's my turn to ask some questions though, what were you doing up on the balcony just then?" He gave me a cute smile, and stopped in the bar area, asking the barman for two cokes just before I answered.

I was thankful for the change of subject, "I was just starting to explore the apartments, we've never stayed in this hotel before and I wanted to have a look around. I was curious when I saw the big staircase so I decided to see what was up there. Definitely wasn't expecting you to be there though" I laughed and he laughed along with me, "Fancy going for a swim?" I asked casually. I couldn't believe how at ease I felt around him, like I'd known him a lot longer than five minutes.

"Definitely" He replied, it was then that I realised I was only wearing my bikini and I begun to feel extremely self conscious. 'Stop being stupid' I thought to myself, he doesn't care! "Come on then" He laughed, squeezing my hand and dragging me to the swimming pool.

When we got to the poolside I could see my mum, dad and sister staring at me. I hadn't even realised Josh was still holding my hand, and I knew that they could see our hands intertwined together. I had never even had a boyfriend before, no one ever took notice of me, so they had never seen me so close to a boy before. My dad immediately stood up and started walking over. "Oh no" I murmured.

"What, what's wrong?" Josh asked quickly, looking at me with concern. I nodded towards my dad, who was heading in our direction. "Oh, your dad?" he whispered, I looked up at him and nodded. Josh let go of my hand and put it out to shake my dad's hand. My dad seemed a bit shocked by the gesture but took his hand, shook it (with a little unnecessary force) and introduced himself as my 'father'.

"Hello Sir, it's nice to meet you. I just met your daughter, Lily, upstairs. We sort of, bumped into each other" Josh looked at me with a little smile, then looked back at my dad who still hadn't replied to Josh.

"Are you ok, Dad?" I asked, a bit concerned that he hadn't said a word.

"Yes, yes I'm fine. Sorry young man, It's nice to meet you too. Nice to see Lily has made friends already, we've only been here a couple of hours" He looked down at me with a questioning glare and I quickly decided it was time to get into the pool.

"Yep dad, its good, you coming in for a swim?" I asked, gesturing towards the pool.

"Umm, no, I'm fine, thanks" he replied quickly and headed off back to my mum, I've never seen him act like that before. I looked across and they were talking intently, clearly about me. Before Josh could say anything, I jumped straight into the pool, and he laughed and jumped in after me.

We were both underwater and he grabbed me round the waist, his hands stroking my skin. Before I knew it he picked me up and twirled me around in the water. I started giggling and had to wriggle out of his grasp to get to the surface to breathe. I broke out of the water laughing, and he joined me, laughing along with me.

"You're ticklish, aren't you?" He asked sheepishly, along with his heart stopping wink. I tried to shake my head but before I knew it he grabbed me round the waist, pulled me into his embrace and started tickling my stomach. I burst into laughter, which only made him hold me even tighter. I didn't even care that everyone was looking at us.

"Ok, ok, stop... I can hardly breathe!" I laughed. He stopped tickling me but kept me wrapped in his arms. I felt so comfortable, like I could stay there forever.

"Sorry, I couldn't resist" he giggled "You're laugh is really cute". I blushed, but he was behind me so thankfully couldn't see.

I was about to ask him what he was planning on doing this evening, but before I could my mum was standing on the edge of the pool, calling me over. My whole family were picking up our things, and that was when I realised we were all going in to get ready to go out for our meal.

"Sorry Josh, I have to go and get ready for this evening" I turned around to face him in the water, once again shocked by how amazing he looked.

"That's fine" he answered, reluctantly letting go of my waist. "I should probably head up to my room and get ready too, meet you by the bar in about an hour?" He asked. I was slightly shocked by the question, but excited at the same time.

"Yeh, definitely" I replied, "See you in an hour!"
