We arrive home, giggling like school kids, still soaking wet & extremely happy.
Tarryn looks up at us from the sofa, "What on earth happened to you too?"
We look at each other & smile, "You don't want you know" Jordan replies with a very sexy wink.
She just looks & rolls her eyes.
"I'm going to get out of these wet clothes & have a shower." As I turn to leave, I give him the look. Not realising that it had been spotted until I hear
"Ffs, you two, is that all you ever do?!"
I turn round, smile "Yep". I walk out of the room laughing.
To my disappointment, Jordan doesn't come & join me in the shower. I walk into our room to find him on the phone.
"Ok, I'll be right there." He's saying
"What's up, babe? Where are you going?"
"I need to pop to the office, I won't be long, I promise" he says as he hugs me & kisses my wet hair.

Seeing as we have the house to ourselves, we crack open a bottle of wine & start blasting out our favourite songs from growing up & laughing about the things we used to get up to. We're laughing & dancing around so much, we don't hear Jordan arrive home, until we hear him roaring with laughter!
We both turn round to find him leaning in the doorway.
"Errrr, how long have you been there?" I ask
"Long enough" he smiles
I feel my face flush & Tarryn just laughs as she turns the music off.
"So, you two gonna fill me in on the Birmingham boys?!"
"Oh shit, you heard that?!" I ask
"Yep, spill the beans"
"Errrr........"
"Well, it was our first holiday abroad without our parents," Tarryn starts, "The first night we're there, Vic makes friends with these 4 lads from Birmingham"
She continues to tell him the story of the holiday & my holiday romance with one of them. I sit very quietly through the story, watching Jordan. When she's finished, he looks at me & smiles, "It's ok, it was a long time ago. It doesn't matter to me. We've all had them."
We all chat about our younger years & laugh about them.
We eventually call it a night around midnight. I can't relax as I lie in bed.
"What's wrong, baby?" Jordan whispers pulling me to his side & wrapping me in his arms.
"I wish she hadn't told you about that holiday. It's not something I'm proud of. It's brought up a load of old memories of the time after that holiday & I then had a string of either bad relationships or one night stands" I tell him as I start to cry.
"None of that matters to me, I fell in love with you, not your past & I certainly don't care about one nighters. Fucking hell, I've had a few."
"Really?"
"Yes, really. Do you want me to tell you?"
"No, I don't need to know. Like you said, it's all in the past & doesn't matter."
"Now, stop looking back, it's not important. What's important is what's happening in a couple of days & we get to spend the rest of our lives together. I can't express how much I love, Vicki." He holds me close & kisses me.
"Jordan, I love you more than words can say, you truly are the best thing that has ever happened to me."
As I'm lay wrapped in his arms, listening to his heartbeat, I fall asleep.
