Barry's P.O.V:
I wake up first today which is unusual and the light of the room is blinding. Iris is wrapped up in my body, fast asleep. I look at the clock and it's 9:45am.
I hear Joe knock at the door and he calls for us to get up and then leaves.
I brush Iris' hair away from her neck and kiss it until she wakes up. She turns and looks at me, her eyes only slightly open.
"Hey," She whispers, smiling at me.
"Good morning," I say, tickling her arm. "We need to get up now, I think Joe made breakfast."
She takes a deep breath and puts her hand in my cheek.
"Love you,"
"Love you too,"
I lean and kiss her before taking the warm covers off of us, revealing her bare legs, tangled up in mine.
It takes her a while to get up but she does eventually.
We go out on to the porch and eat the breakfast joe made for us and they ask how jet skiing was.
"Oh my god, it was awesome." Iris tells them.
"Well We're glad you enjoyed it." Cecile says.
"We're going to the water park today, that okay?"
"Yes! Of course that's okay!" We say.
We finish our breakfast and go and get into our swim stuff. Iris picks out a bikini which has me flustered with all the bare skin she's showing and at how amazing she looks.
"Wow." I say.
"What?" She asks, as if she doesn't recognize her beauty.
"You." I say, laughing.
"You're not too bad yourself," she says, walking over to me and putting her arms around my neck. I don't know whether I should wrap my arms around her or not considering she's almost completely bare but she takes my hand and puts them on the soft skin of her back which makes my heart speed up.
"Why are you nervous?" She asks.
You must be able to tell my crazy feelings right now.
"What?" I ask.
"You're acting like a high school boy who just got asked to the dance by his crush," she laughs.
"Oh, nothing. I'm just happy and it feels good to be able to just do stuff without thinking it will change us for the worst and know it's always for the better." I tell her.
"Me too." She says, kissing me.
"Cmon what are you guys doing in there?!" Joe calls from the living room.
"Nothing, we'll be out in a sec, Barry's just in the bathroom!" Iris calls.
"We better go," I suggest.
"Yeah," she chuckles.
*****
We get to the water park and it's awesome! Joe isn't a heights person so we go in the wave pool for a bit first. Him and Cecile aren't strong swimmers so they stay in the shallow end and Iris and I swim off in to the deep end, where there is an artificial rock built waterfall that you can go under.
A.N: A BIT LIKE IN HSM2 AND IF YOU'VE EVER BEEN THE THE PORTAVENTURA WATER PARK
We swim under it and come back up in the caved bit behind it, the waterfall in front of us forming a blurred sheet between us and the rest of the park. The sounds of the water is echoing off the rocks.
I look at her and her hair is now fully out of her face and in her natural curls and she looks perfect. We're breathing heavily and just look at each other for a minute, smiling.
I take her hand under the water and pull her closer to me.
No one on the outside can see us and so I slide my hand through her hair and our lips touch, both of our faces wet.
A kid splashes us as he comes under the waterfall too.
"Get a room!" He shouts.
"Dude, one day you'll be doing this to your girlfriend or boyfriend okay? Don't judge." I tell him.
Iris chuckles.
"It's okay kiddo, we were just leaving." She says.
"We were?" I ask, confused.
"Yeah, we're going to get a room like this gentleman suggested." She says.
She takes my hand and we swim under water together but the kid follows.
"You get her dude!" He shouts, loud enough for Joe and Cecile to hear from the other side of the pool. And they did. A sudden nerve and panic struck me as they both looked at us.
I look at iris who is looking at me wide eyed.
I swallow the lump of nerve in my throat and we sigh,knowing we should tell them.
We swim over to where they are and they try not to act awkward although it was.
"What was that about?" Cecile asks, smiling.
Iris and I look at each other one more time.
"We're not gonna lie to you... so there's something we need to tell you..." I begin, absolutely shitting myself.
"And what may that be?" Joe asks, also smiling which makes me wonder whether this situation has to be as awkward as I'm making it out to be. But It most certainly feels like it.
