Marlene’s POV

The next morning I took a long shower to think about everything. Showering always helped me to clear my thoughts. I finally admitted I liked Beau. A lot. That almost-kiss, interrupted by Luke (I guess that was hi revenge?), had prooved it. I definitly felt somethingf for him but that was bad. He was only bantering, he surely didn’t like me that way. Why should he if he was able to get every girl he wanted? He had a lot of fans, not only here in Australia.

I got out of the shower and dried my hair. It didn’t take as log as it would’ve half a year ago because I had cut them.

I also put on some make-up because I would meet Beau today again. We would go out and eat some ice cream. I had thought he had asked Tessa, too, because she was texting someone yesterday when I had entered her room but today I found out it was Jai. I could see something coming there!

Luke and Jess really were too cute, too. After Beau and I had interrupted them they went downstairs so they wouldn’t feel awkward all alone in the room but as the boys left he pecked her cheek. Aww! She would also meet him today, again but they would go to the zoo.

I went out of the bath and downstairs. I met Tatjana in the kitchen who made herself some breakfast. She recoginzed that I sat on a chair in front of the counter in the middle if the room and smiled. “You look stunning? Are we going anywhere?“, she teasted and wiggöed her eyebrows at me.

I grinned. “I don’t know what you’re up to do today but I will go out with Beau“, I said empathising the ‘I‘.

Her mouth made ther perfect shape of an I. Then she started grinning like a Cheshire Cat. “Ooh, looks like the Brooks-brothers are very popular in this house!“

“Why?“, I asked, narrowing my eyebrows and feeling slightly jealous.

“Well, you like Beau, Jess obviously likes Luke and I also think Tessa might like Jai, you know…?“

“And what about you?“, I changed the topic.

Instantly she blushed and I knew I was right. “Err, I don’t like Jai, Luke or Beau that way, y’know…“

“Skip? Or James?“

She giggled and sat down across of me, putting a bowl full with Cheerios and milk in front of her on the counter. Her spoon shoveled inside the bowl and she ate the spoonful. “I won’t tell“, she stated and bit her lip, grinning as she thought about that one boy. If I only knew who! “Does he like you, too?“, I asked.

She started chokinga dn I had to pat her back hard so she wouldn’t suffocate. She smiled innocently at me before I took my seat again, across from her. “So, does he like you, too?“, I tried it again.

She smiled. “Who knows? I only know him for… what? Not even twenty-four hours?“

I nodded, although it felt unreal. This may sound like a cliché but it felt like I knew Beau for ages. I already knew the difference between his normal grin and his cheeky grin – when he smiled cheekily he always lifted his eyebrows slightly and had this little twinkle in his eye. And when he looked disappointed – like yesterday, when we got interrupted by Luke – his lips almost disappeared. You could only see a thin line. And when he laughed… he threw his head back so you could see his neck and he almost lost his cap but with one hand he held it so it wouldn’t fall off his head. He also closed his eyes when he laughed.

I snapped out of my thoughts as someones clapped their hands in front of my eyes. I looked up and almost fell off my chair as I looked into a pai of hazel eyes. Beau smiled and I recognized he sat on Tatjana’s chair – but she was gone. God, how long have I been zoned out? “What have you been thinking about?“, he smiled and rested his head on his hand as if he was truly interested.

I blushed and widened my eyes. What should I tell him? That I thought about the way he laughed? Of course, that was so normal. Note the sarcasm? “Err, I… I…. though about… err…“

He nodded and smiled. “You don’t need to tell me. But I thought we would go now? It’s already 1pm.“

Surprised I looked at the clock. 1:03 pm. I got up from my seat and grabbed my jacket, my shoes and my purse. Beau waited for my patiently at the front door and as Is tood next to him he grabbed my hand and entwined our fingers, causing me to blush. We went out and he smiled at me and I couldn’t help but smile bact at him. We went to an ice shop and he told me to sit down so I did as I was told to. Okay, what was happening? Did I really just hold Beau’s hand?! He came back before I could clear my thoughts and gave me a vanilla ice. “How did you know this is my favourite?“, I asked and started licking it.

He shrugged. “I just guess.“ He was eating his ice with a spoon but I had no idea what flavour. It looked like something tropical. “What are you eating?“, I asked.

His spoon dived into the ice and he reached it to me. “Open your mouth“, he smiled and we both blushed as I closed my lips around the spoon. I could feel the cold of the ice and I tasted two different things – first of all the favour of the ice (Piña Colada) and second Beau himself. This was just like a kiss! “Very delicious“, I whispered and blushed even harder.

“Yeah, I like it“, he smiled and put down his spoon. He started staring at me and I turned around. Maybe he was looking at a person behind me?

But no, there was no-one. “Err… do you need anything from me?“, I asked, blushing even harder.

He smiled and shook his head. “No, I’m just enjoying the view.“

I giggled and looked down at my lap. I looked up again as he cleared his throat and grinned cheekily: “So… what about the kiss now? Or did you forget abour your promise?“

I laughed quietly. How could I forget this? “No, I didn’t forget it“, I smiled. “Why?“

He laughed. “Marlene. Do you really don’t know why I’m asking you for the kiss?“

I chuckled. “I do but I want you to tell me. Maybe I’m wrong“, I said and I felt like going crazy. A million butterflies were flyinga round my stromach!

He grabbed my hand again and smiled. What if he really liked me…? No. He just wanted to show himself he could get every girl… I sighed and he let go off my hand, looking confused. “Did I say anything wrong?“

I shook my head and bit my lip nervously. “You just confuse me, that’s it.“

“Why do I confuse you?“

I laughed. “Beau, you’re playing with me! You’re messing with my head and I’m not sure if I like this! Either you tell me your intentions now or you leave.“
