Skyla has an amazing singing voice; my eyes were getting teary when she sang my all-time favourite Justin Bieber song Up to me. She perfected that song perfectly. I love her so much it’s not describable. We get off the plane and Sky calls Beau and the boys back home.
After she gets off the phone we get into a cab and head to our home for the next 2 weeks. The Grand Royal Hotel. It’s supposed to be amazing here so I made sure we got a good room. We get into the elevator and push the level number 8. We walk into our suite and I hear Skyla gasp. The view from our balcony is amazing. She rummages in her bag and pulls out a purple frilly bikini and waits for me to get changed and basically pulls me down to the beach with our towels.
When we get to the beach we stop at the bar and I get her a cruiser and myself a rum and coke. We head over to the beach chairs and lay our towels over them, sit on top of them and stare at the now setting sun. I see Sky getting up off her chair, ‘Get up lazy, we’re going swimming.’
I get up off the chair and walk down to the shore with my hand wrapped around Skyla’s. When we get down the water we both walk into the now warm water and dive in where it’s deep enough. While we were under the water I pull Sky onto me and she wraps her small legs around my waist. I push us up into the air again and smash my lips against her as she pulls her arms around my neck. My arms find their way around her waist and I think of the day I asked her to be my girlfriend.
I smiled into the kiss and she did as well. ‘Are we both smiling because we remembered how you asked me to be your girlfriend?’ I nod and pull her into another kiss. We both pull away at the same time and when Sky’s eyes open again I notice they are the brightest blue I’ve ever seen them. ‘Babe your eyes are shining very bright. What are you thinking about?’
‘I’m thinking of how we went from me crying on a park bench, to becoming a couple at the beach, making out at the café, dealing with Mandi, me almost dying, me getting pregnant, losing the baby, and now here. And how the whole way through, you’ve been the most amazing boyfriend any girl could ever ask for, and I feel like I don’t deserve you. I’m not as pretty as other girls and I have the worst body. Look around you and there are goddesses everywhere. But you’re still here, not looking at them, but at me. The girl who ran away from home broken and beaten, and the girl that is head over heels in love with Luke Mark Anthony Brooks.’
Did she just say all of that? Am I dreaming? ‘I-I-I love you Skyla. You are the most beautiful girl in the world to me, not any other girl. YOU. You know why I’m here, and why I’m never leaving? Because I’m the guy who saved a beautiful girl from sleeping on a park bench, I asked her to be my girlfriend, I got caught making out with her at a café, I protected her when someone tried to ruin our relationship, I stayed in her hospital bed for 3 weeks straight when she could’ve flat-lined any second, supported her in every way when we found out she was pregnant, still supported her in every way when she lost the baby and now here because he is in love with that girl. That girl Skyla Morris that everyone used to put down, and watch get hurt. Well not me, I keep my promises and baby, I’m in love with you too.’
We got out of the water, ran up to our towels, payed the bar for our drinks and went back up to our hotel room. Once we got into the hotel room and locked the door and shut the blinds, we couldn’t peel ourselves off each other. I pushed her up against the wall kissing up and down her neck, listening to her sweet moans of pleasure. I un-tied her bikini top and kissed her lips hungrily. I massaged her boobs in my hand while holding her up with my other one.
She untied my board shorts and we moved off the wall onto the bed. I reached into my bag and pulled out a little friend before we forgot. We both pulled down our underwear at the same time and kept kissing while I sorted myself out; I flipped us over and placed Skyla gently on top of me. She crashed her lips onto mine and started moving her hips while I’m inside her. When we both finish we fall asleep in bed, with Skyla on top of me, naked in our hotel room in the Hamilton Islands.
Skyla’s POV
Waking up was a lot different to when we are at home. 1 Luke and I are both completely naked and 2 someone was frantically knocking on the door. I quickly searched the room for Luke’s t-shirt and answered the door. This place really is amazing. When I opened the door, there stands room service with our in-bed breakfast buffet.
I place all the food and drinks on the main table and go to wake Lukey up. ‘Lukey wakey wakey. Room service brought us breakfast.’
‘Asdfghjkl.’ I hate when he does this. Speaks another alien language that only he and Jai understand. ‘Luke Mark Anthony Brooks get out of that bed right now or I’m going home.’ Then in lightening time, Luke shoots up out of the bed. He gets up, gives me a good morning kiss and races off into the bathroom. In 5 minutes he’s out and on the lounge with me enjoying the delicious food that room service had brought us.
Once we finished we put on some clothes and decided that we should check out the island today and do a bit of shopping. I put on some maroon very short shorts and my billabong strapless bandeau bikini top. I go into the bathroom and look at myself. I notice that I have one giant stretch mark on my hip just under where my shorts are and on the other side I have an almost healed bruise.
I look down my legs and notice all my scars are showing. My eyes well up with heavy tears and I sit on the bathroom floor crying until Luke comes in and holds me in his arms. ‘Baby why are you crying?’
I get up and point to all these imperfections on my body, each and every scar, each stretch mark, and each bruise. He gets up and kisses everything that I had pointed to, ‘Why did you point to everything that makes you perfect?’
‘Trust me, I’m not perfect, I’m not beautiful and I have the worst body.’
