Emilia's POV

When I wake up, it's already 10 am. I rush out of bed and get into the shower. When I get out, I dry my hair, do my makeup, then get dressed into a white shirt, some floral shorts and a pair of thigh-high boots.

I run downstairs and grab breakfast. Jack's working on some music with Daniel at the studio this morning, so he won't be around. "Good morning Em" A voice says. I look up to see Corbyn looking at me. "Oh, hello Bean" I reply to him, smiling. He frowns and passes me the almond milk. "What are the plans for today?" I ask him, whilst making myself a cup of coffee. Zach walks down the stairs, with Jonah following. "Good morning my fellow human beings. And Corbyn of course" Zach says. Corbyn rolls his eyes, then smiles. We all stare at him "What? I can't help myself" He says. We then all burst out laughing. "I just wanted to find out what we were doing today" I say to the boys. "We could go to the beach maybe? Jack and Dani are at the studio" Jonah suggests. We all agree, then go get ready. I go change again into a black bikini and throw some shorts over the top.

I pack a bag, then walk back downstairs to the boys. They're all sitting around talking, but when they notice me, they stop. "You guys ready to go?" I ask them, wanting the awkward silence to stop. They nod and get up off the sofa. We're about to get into the car, but I notice that Zach can't stop staring at me. I run back inside and throw one of Jack's jumpers over the top. The drive to the beach is alright, we all sing along to the boy's songs on the way. When we get to the beach, I take out a towel and lay it on the ground. I then put some sunglasses on and grab the sunscreen out of my bag. "Hey bean, can you help me put some sunscreen on my back pleaseeee?" I ask Corbyn. He rolls his eyes and walks over to me. I take Jack's jumper off and throw Corbyn the bottle "Thanks Corbyn" I say to him, smiling. I can feel someone's eyes staring at me from behind. I turn around to see Zach still staring at me. He's been acting weirdly when he's near me now, but I don't think it's serious. I lay down on my stomach on top of my towel and read my book. Jonah and Corbyn are by the water, taking some pics for Insta, leaving me and Zach alone. He's sat down next to me, looking at the water. I put my book down and turn to look at Jonah and Corbyn. Corbyn's doing some funny poses and Jonah's taking photos of him. They're both laughing at each other.

"Are you okay Em?" Zach asks me, for no reason. "What? Yeah I'm fine Zach" I tell him. He nods his head and looks away. I spot Jonah walking back towards us, with Corbyn trailing along. "Hey, how did the photos turn out?" I ask Jonah. He smiles "They look great" He tells me. Corbyn sits down the other side of me and picks up his book. "Do you want to get in the water?" Jonah asks me, whilst putting all the camera equipment away. "Sure, give me one sec" I reply. I put my book back in my bag, put my hair up in a bun, then take my shorts off. "Let's go" I say to Jo. I feel Zach still staring at me. "I'm coming too" He says. We all make our way down to the water. Jonah and Zach run in, whilst I walk in slowly. I swim around for a while, until someone's arms wrap around me from behind. I look back to see someone's face covered by a mask of noodles. "Jack! What are you doing here?" I ask him. He smiles at me"Me and Dani finished in the studio earlier than we expected, then Corbyn texted me to say you were at the beach" He tells me. I kiss him, then he picks me up "I missed you, J" I say to him, smiling back at him. "It was only for a few hours Em" He says to me, laughing. Jonah swims over to us "Noodle, you're here" He says, grinning. Jack rolls his eyes at Jo, then throws me up in the air. I scream at him, as I hit the water "What was that for Jack you son of a Bitchhhh" I say to him. He smirks at me "Sorry, my hands slipped" I swim away from him, but he soon catches up. He picks me up again and takes me back to shore. "You better not drop me again" I tell him, whilst he takes me over to Dani and Corbyn. Corbyn throws Jack my towel, then Jack dries me off and wraps it around me. I sit down on a blanket that Dani and Jack must have brought with them. "How was recording then?" I ask Dani. He smiles and takes a while to reply, "It was good" He tells me. I nod my head, put my ray bans on, then lay down.

Jack's POV

We finish our meeting long before we were meant to. We were speaking about how sometime in the near future we may be going on tour again. I haven't told Emilia yet, but I will soon. We told her we were recording some more new music, which we did so it wasn't exactly a lie. I text Corbyn to ask what they were doing. He replies quickly, telling me that they were at the beach. Me and Dani go home, pick up some stuff, then drive to the beach. When we get there, I spot Corbyn sitting on a towel "Hello Corbean" I say to him. He looks up and smiles "Oh, hello Noodle" He replies. "Em, Jo and Zach are in the water" He tells me. I nod and put my stuff down "Cool, I'm gonna go down there and surprise Em" I tell him, walking to the ocean.

Jonah notices me and gives me a small wave. I see Em swimming around, so I go over to her and wrap my arms around her waist. She jumps and turns around to look at me. "Jack! What are you doing here?" She asks me, surprised. "Me and Dani finished in the studio earlier than we expected, then Corbyn texted me to say you were at the beach" I tell her, smiling. She leans in and kisses me. I lift her up into my arms. Jonah swims over to us "Noodle, you're here" He says, grinning. I roll my eyes at Jo, then throw Em up in the air. She screams at me, as she hits the water "What was that for Jack, you son of a Bitchhhh" She yells. I smirk at her "Sorry, my hands slipped" I say. She swims away from me quickly, but I manage to catch up with her easily. I pick her up again and take her to shore. "You better not drop me again" She tells me. I take her over to Corbyn and Dani. Corbyn throws me her towel and I dry her off, then wrap it around her. She sits down on the blanket me and Dani brought with us. "How was recording?" She asks us. Me and Dani exchange a glance, but Em doesn't seem to notice "It was good" Dani says. Em nods her head, puts some sunglasses on and lays down. Her emerald green eyes close as she falls asleep.

Zach and Jonah come over and sit with us. We talk for a while, then I lay down. My eyes flutter shut as I fall asleep next to Em.
