Ella // Why Dont We {COMPLETED}

F O R T Y - T W O

I walked upstairs, following Daniel and the cold Morning was beginning to fade. He held my hand and once we were upstairs, pulled me into a tight hug.

His ability to calm me was impeccable.

"Everything Okay?" I said, although muffled as he pulled my head into his chest.

"Well.."

I looked up at him and separated our bodies.

"The boys asked me to do something. It may have something to do with my nerves yesterday."

"What was it?" I asked hoping the answer was somewhat sensible.

"Can I teach you guitar tonight?" He asked.

"Uh, Yeah, of course!" I smiled.

He nodded and we both got changed into our swim wear.

We met the boys downstairs and a few looks were exchanged, only causing me quickly look away, pretending I hadn't noticed.

We all walked down to the Spa and I looked in awe as we walked past the saunas. We were heading straight to the pool. We had the whole place to ourselves, which made the boys very happy.

The warmth also immediately hit my body and I was glad I didn't have to get wet to get warm.

The boys all ran straight for the pool and with a big jump, all went under almost synchronised.

I lay back into one of the sun beds on the side of the pool and the sun shining through the massive window allowed the possibility for a tan.

I contemplated a number of things, the future wedding, Zach's comment earlier on that day and also my weirdly cold morning.

The heat was just starting to make its way to my body when Daniel felt it was the perfect time to lie on top of me, getting me wet.

"Daniellll.." I groaned a little.

He looked up at me with his puppy eyes and I quickly felt the urge to wrap my arms and legs around him.

He picked me up and stood by the pools edge, now holding me tightly.

"Daniel. Don't you dare."

He just smirked at me as I tried to wriggle myself out from his reach.

Without hesitation, he jumped in and I quickly found that I was pulling myself out of the pool.. soaking wet.

"I hate you." I said as seriously as I could as I walked off.

"You love me really." He smiled.

"Or do I?" I joked.

He rolled his eyes playfully and went back to the boys as I made my way over to the Jacuzzi on the other side of the room.

I climbed in and instantly felt the goosebumps on my arms and whole body. I sat facing the boys and watched as they played around like brothers; splashing each other and trying to one-up each other with their diving skills.

I loved alone time and I always felt it necessary to let the boys be together without me there too.

The playful shouting and games quietened as a few people started to enter the pool and the boys were quickly put in their place when a lifeguard told them to lower the volume. I giggled and they apologised politely.

Daniel jumped out of the pool and headed over to me and stood just by the ladder into the jacuzzi.

"You look incredibly hot in there." He said.

"It's quite warm, Yeah." I smiled.

He laughed.

"No. Ella. I meant that you look incredibly attractive." He said through a chuckle.

"Ohhh." I blushed, "Thankyou.."

He smiled and climbed in, sitting as close to me as possible.

I held his hand and intertwined our fingers.

"So the boys asked you to teach me guitar?" I asked after thinking about it ever since.

"Ahah.. no. They asked me to play you the song I wrote about you whilst.. well whilst you were with Shawn." He explained.

I looked over at him and caressed his cheek.

"You did that?"

"Sure did.."

"Well then I will be very happy to hear it." I smiled and cuddled up to him.

"I'm just nervous to play it in front of you." He said looking ahead.

I assured him that there was no reason to be which resulted in a kiss. A quick one though, we didn't want to be "that" couple.

Hours later, we were back home and Jonah had finally worked out how to switch on the radiators and I was no longer cold and in fact, was so warm that I kicked off my slippers as we watched Netflix.
