Chapter 3

Chris was dying of laughter as I wiped off the blobs of tomato sauce that were smeared onto Chris' jumper. "How was I supposed to know it would squirt out like that!" I squealed, clearly embarrassed over that display.

Chris took me to get fish and chips and we spread out over the warm golden sand on a blanket that he conveniently had in his car while I struggled opening the tomato sauce satchel that completely splattered everywhere. "Sorry about your jumper by the way..."

"Don't worry it's fine. How about you take that off, before you completely destroy one of my favourite jumpers, and I'll get you another one at the souvenir store. Sound good?" I simply just nodded and followed as he got up. I couldn't believe how nice he was being. As we entered the store, my eyes immediately flew to the bathing suits. My hands felt the smooth fabric of the Australian flag bikini but quickly stopped when I heard a small cough behind me.

"Do you feel like going for swim now, Taylor?" Chris smirked as he eyed the swimsuit I had been previously looking at.

"Well... i don't know, could we? It's not that crowded considering everyone is at work..." Chris just shook his head, that stupid smile still adorning his face. "What size are you?" My smile grew even larger.

We found the most secluded area of the beach in order to avoid the people around us and pranced around in the water. Or more like I pranced and he just swam normally. I was having a really great time. Chris, as it turns out to be, is very humorous and down to earth.

"OK Taylor, strike a pose for me!" I turned around to find Chris by the shore with his phone in his hands like a professional photographer. I bent down to cup water in my hands so I could throw water up in the air, but my plan horrendously backfired as I slipped I ended up falling backwards in the most ungraceful manner I could muster. I could just hear Chris laughing already. I looked up and my previous thoughts were confirmed.

"I caught that on video!" Chris cried out. Isn't that just great. I ran back to him flustered enough as I was, I didn't want to end up doing something worse. He played back the video for me and I watched myself making a complete idiot of myself, but I had to admit, it was pretty funny.

"Maybe you could send that to me, my fans would love it."

"And how would I do that?" he smirked. I just gave him a fake exasperated sigh and snatched his phone out of his hands and then inputted my number into his contacts along with a selfie I took just then and then.

"Are you content now?" I asked.

"Very." he replied.

I sauntered off and grabbed a towel to wrap around myself, but not before I noticed his eyes wandering in places they shouldn't. "Eyes up here mister! I have a boyfriend," I remarked.

"Ah yes, the boyfriend" he remarked in a semi-sarcastic tone and laughed it off. I hooded the towel over my eyes so no one could see me and we walked back to his car. We both slid into the now hot seats of the car and I went to check my phone that was hidden in the cardigan that I left in the car, only to find 3 missed calls and a text from Tom. I decided to call him back quickly to find out what was the problem.

"Taylor?" a voice spoke out.

"Hey babe, what's wrong?"

"Where are you? I finished filming 3 hours ago." I looked at the time and I realised it was later than I thought it was.

"Really? Sorry, I didn't realise how late it was."

"Well I'm already in the hotel room, so maybe you can get Chris to drop you off if you're still with him, if not I can come and get you," Tom offered.

"Yeah I'm still with him,"

"Sorry if I seem a little overprotective, it's just that I didn't know if something happened to you because you weren't answering my calls."

"Hey, no that's completely fine, I'll see you soon okay? Love you."

"Love you too" I could almost hear him smile through the phone which then beeped, signalling it was the end of the call. "Sorry about that Chris, is it alright if you drop me at the hotel?"

"Sure Taylor." He gave a small smile and continued driving until we reached my destination.

"Thank you so much for today, it was the complete opposite of boring. Call me and we can catch up again sometime, yeah?"

"Sounds good to me Taylor." He then drove off and my eyes seemed to follow his vehicle until it was no longer in my line of sight.

A/N

It's been like four months since the last chapter. I'm so sorry about that! I've just been dealing with life and school, but I'm back on. Hopefully, If I'm still feeling up to it, I'll write more chapters without having another four month break.

And sorry about this chapter being a bit short, it's a bit of a filler..

btw I'm back on Instagram as well (@/looselipssinkships) where I post photo and video edits (mostly of christay but I've been working on other things as well)
