The Holiday That Changed My Life

Part Eighteen

It's been three weeks since me and Aston dated and the others didn't have a clue. But I guess with our two groups blending into one, it makes it easier to see each other, sometimes. Aimee had hooked up with JJ on more than one occasion, near enough everyday to be exact. She'd told us all on the morning when I had to sneak Aston out of our villa, telling us that JJ had left a few hours before everyone else woke up.

When she told us, all the girls were happy for her, for sleeping with someone. And that got me thinking, if they can be happy for her for that, maybe they'd be happy for me and Aston dating? I'd told Aston about it on one of our 'secret' dates and he thought it was a good idea to tell all of them, saying that his mates should be happy for him too. But I soon dismissed that idea when I'd overheard his mates talking at the beach bar last week.

Flashback

The girls were out by the pool, recovering from their hangovers, so I volunteered to go to the shops and get a few bits to put in the fridge. On the way back, I decided to walk along the beach front, the view was too gorgeous not to. I passed a bar with Astons mates in, but they never saw me, and I heard my name in their conversation, so I hid round the corner to hear what they were saying.

"You're still going with Aimee then Jay, yeah?"

"Yeah, who knows, might actually go somewhere."

"So you didn't hear about Aaron's little adventure the other night did you?"

"No, what?!"

"He did this girl and thinks that he's got himself a girlfriend."

"What? Mate you slept with her once, there's no way you can have a girlfriend." And then they all laughed at him.

Flashback over

That's when I told Aston that we couldn't tell the others. I couldn't have them laughing at us. Plus, me and Aston haven't even slept together yet, they'd only laugh at him even more. It wasn't Astons fault that we haven't, it was mine. I just, I didn't want to rush into anything and Aston knew that. Also, I wanted to make sure that he wasn't just going to sleep with me and move on. I think he's proved that one though now; he would've left two weeks ago and found some other girl, but he's not, he's still here.

Me and Aston were seeing each other tonight, but we didn't really have a plan, we were just going to see where the night takes us. Right now, the girls were in their own rooms getting ready for their night out, I'd managed to pull a sickie so they told me to stay behind tonight, promising that they'd tell me all the stories in the morning.

"So, what's your plan?" Aston asked down the phone as I was lay on my bed chatting to him.

"I've pulled the sickie card out tonight," I giggled as Aston sighed down the phone.

"What?! That was my plan!" He replied as I laughed at him. "You did that on purpose! Now what am I supposed to tell them?"

"Erm, your Mum could conveniently call you just as the boys are about to leave? You take it, and they'll end up forgetting about you." I said, proud of the plan I'd thought of.

"That's great babe but how am I going to get Mum to do that?" He tutted as I rolled my eyes at him.

"You see, you've got this girlfriend yeah-"

"Oh shut up! You're being cheeky tonight."

"Just text me when the boys are getting ready to leave and I'll call you." I giggled.

"Will do, are we going out tonight or staying in?" Aston asked as I heard shuffling around in the background.

"I don't know, if we went out we'd have to stay along the front, we can't risk going down the strip and bumping into those lot."

"Kinda grateful they're all mates now, don't have to keep watch for two groups."

"I know, I'm sure we can run fast though." I joked, hearing Aston chuckle on the other end.

"Fast enough. You want me to come over to yours when they've gone?"

"Yeah, I'll stick the key under the mat for you."

"Is someone being too lazy to open the door?"

"Someone's ill." I teased as Aston tutted.

Not long after we had to end the call, my girls were making too much noise and Astons boys were asking him why he wasn't dressed. But only twenty minutes later did they leave and I snuck down five minutes after them to put the key under the mat, locking the door with Scarlett's key, before heading back upstairs and getting back into bed.
