Clean Bandit - Extraordinary.

~ Beau's P.O.V ~

The car jolts and jitters as we drive down the graveled road. I know we could have walked here but nothing's a better sight to me at eight pm than Ellie trying, yet not succeeding, to keep her jiggling cleavage in her bra.

I throw her a quick coquettish grin, receiving a scowl from my sweet innocent girl.

"So what usually happens at these moonlit picnics of yours?" Ellie asks, cutting the comfortable silence.

"Keep bouncing about like that and you'll soon find out baby." I smirk at her and she takes her bottom lip between her teeth.

~ Ellie's P.O.V ~

He's so gross. But I love it.

I've never been on a moonlit picnic before and I don't know if it's the soon coming darkness of the night or the way Beau's eyes glisten as he smirks at me but there's a storm brewing in my stomach that won't settle down.

"Right, this is where we hop out." Beau laughs, stopping the car in what looks like the middle of the woods.

"What? I thought we were going to the park." I ask, confused.

"Who said anything about the park babe?" he winks, taking his things from the car. I shake my head at him and follow down the dimly lit path.

'Tonight's the night.' I tell myself. If my fathers plans for Christmas still stay then I'm not sure how long left I have with Beau. Not until the new year anyway. He promised that we'd go back to England for the next holiday, the day we left home to come here. But I don't want to go back anymore! I want to stay here. I want to spend my first Christmas with my boyfriend, on the same side of the world as him. And if I did go, I don't know how well he'd take it. I mean, it could be the end for us. Also going back means seeing the ones I left behind. Going back means, revisiting the ones who forgot about me. The ones who never called, or wished me goodbye. Going back means seeing Troye.

"Babe? Did you hear me?" Beau asks, nudging my shoulder.

"Hm, yeah. I mean- What did you say again?" I stammer, regaining attention.

He chuckles, shaking his head at my fluster.

"I said, do you remember the first time I took you to the park?" his lips peek into a smile as his hands snatch a leaf from a tree just as we pass it. He holds and fiddles with it, waiting for my answer.

"Yeah, I think so." I shrug, trying not to seem too excited about the topic. That was one of the best and worst days I have shared with Beau.

"It was a while back and you were upset because your daddy didn't want us together. You weren't mine yet but I was determined for us to be one, Ellie." he beams enthusiastically, squashing the leaf in his hands. Wow he's crazy.

"Yeah, I remember but-" I start but his hand comes up to silence me, politely. His enthusiasm begins to fade, morphing into frustration.

"I was a coward Ellie, but no more. I need you to know that you weren't wrong. I had been keeping secrets." My face twist and my stomach churns at his confusion. "Oh no baby, don't get upset. By secrets I mean things that are yet to be revealed. Things that I was too afraid to tell you because..." He retracts after seeing my sour expression.

"Because what Beau?" I grumble. Frustration must be contagious.

"Because I was afraid I'd lose you." his face churns into an emotion that I can only label as fear but as to what he's now afraid of I have no clue. He already has me, what need would he have to be frightened?

"I-is that why you bought me out here? To tell me that you've been keeping secrets from me?" I ask after an eyerole of disbelief. Are we really back to square one again?

"No baby, I bought you out here to tell you the truth." he frowns deeply at the ground making my heart ache undesirably for him.

We continue the trek through the long path in dead silence. This is not how I expected the night to begin. Is one happy night alone with boyfriend too much to ask? Obviously.

I'd been trying to obviate the need for these types of nights, and I'm sure Beau knows that. But yet he insists on playing Mr. Many Problems. Well not tonight. If he's putting all the cards on the table, then so am I. You may call it 'getting even' but personally I like to call it killing two birds with one stone.

"Wait here." Beau says quietly, still sombre from our earlier discussion.

I do as I'm told and wait in the, near enough, darkened bush that sits in front of a dimly lit open space. His almost sepia silhouette begins to disappear into the patch of field beyond me and my palms begin to sweat. Beau wouldn't leave me out here alone would he?

What am I saying? Of course not.

"Beau?" I whisper peaking through the bushes.

"Yeah, one second babe." his voice calls back, followed by the stricking of a match.

"Okay, you can come over now!" He shouts a few seconds later.

"Where are you?" I ask shuffling through the leaves in the dull lighting.

"Follow my voice baby." He chuckles and I do also under my breath.

"Then talk to me Beau." I reply trying to sound as seductive as possible.

"Come here beautiful. I'm right here. If you can manage to find me, I'm all yours." He whispers, his voice beckoning me towards him, like a moth to a flame.

He soon comes into sight and I tiptoe behind him even though I know he can hear me coming.

I bring my hands up ready to pounce for him from behind but before I can he spins around, hoisting me into his arms like a peice of prey.

"Found you." He whispers into my mouth.

Beau smothers me with his plump lips, fondling with my skirt as he places me down on the ground, being careful not to break the kiss. He takes a few steps back pushing me into a large tree, hungrily attacking my mouth.

Beau pulls away slowly dragging my bottom lip with him, sucking on it seductively before completly detaching from me and pressing his forehead on mine.

"El, Welcome to our second first date." he smiles grabbing my hand.

"Really?" I gasp.

"Really." he confirms, leading me towards the candle lit picnic he had set out on the ground.
