You wrapped your cardigan around your torso, trying to contain the warmth your body was emitting to fight off the cold breeze. You held a hand on your hair to keep it from hitting your face. You realised that all this could be such a disaster, it could ruin your life.

You stopped by the wooden fence and looked over at the waving ocean, hitting the beach sand softly. You shut your eyes and took in a deep breath, smiling soft-

"Lovely day, is it not?"

You jumped at the sound of someone whispering into your ear and almost hit the person. "ROBBIE! Lord, you frightened me!" You yelled then slapped his arm playfully.

He laughed then grinned, "Come on love, before anyone sees." He grabbed your hand and leaned in for a kiss but you pushed him away.

"Not here, someone could spot us!" You whispered then ran down to the beach while pulling him by the arm.

*****

"This is unacceptable Robbie, we should stop," You expressed with concern and he pulled you closer to him by the waist.

"Why do you think that?" He asked then kissed your head. You rested your head close to his chest and sighed.

"Lying to our parents, pretended we do not have a care for each other in front of the town, constantly not being satisfied with each other's presence because we don't get enough time together?!" You said in a rush then stopped to breathe, "I cannot continue telling my family that I'm out helping with the farm when I'm in fact here with you!"

"You don't like spending time with Robbie Turner?" He asked and you frowned.

"Of course I do but I do not... want to continue living like a hypocrite,"You replied, "I am constantly in this state of feeling guilty. Our parents do not want us to have any sort of affection for the other and every single moment that I spend in your presence, I am breaking their trust and-"

He grasped you by the sides of your upper-arms and pulled you in for a forceful kiss on the lips. You moaned a bit then stepped away quickly, looking at him with disgust.

"Ugh Robbie! I was having a serious talk and you ruined the moment!" You yelled at him and started to walk away, your shoes sinking into the sand and the wind making it quite an effort to move ahead.

Robbie bit his lip and sighed. He watched you struggle then followed you-

THUMP!

You tripped on a rock peeking put of the damp sand and fell back. You steadied your breathing then buried your face in your hands, while Robbie ran to you.

"[y/n] are you alright?" He questions with worry and bent down, putting his hand on your shoulder. He looked to you with despair when he realised that you were crying.

"What's the matter sweetheart? Please, talk to me-"

"I'm going home, I don't feel well," You answered flatly then stumbled to get up. He helped you and tried to reason with your choice but you shoved him off.

"[y/n] please..." He shouted out but you continued to walk away, "If you really love me then stay here!"

You bit the inside of your cheek then stopped walking. You looked to the ground and hugged yourself tightly. You heard him approach you, then wrap his hands around your waists and rest his forehead on your shoulder.

"I am extremely fond of you [y/n] and I know that you share that sentiment," He said, you could feel his breath on your neck and it sent a shiver down your spine, "I request that you don't leave my side. I've been waiting all week for this day."

You placed your hand on his arm then tilted your head back to his him on the head. "But we're not supposed to be together..." You mumbled and he clenched his jaw.

"Why? Because a few elderly people think that a gardner should not have a thing to do with a soon-to-be-mistress?!" He moved back, feeling threatened while his muscles tensed up. You turned around to face him while he spoke.

Robbie ran a hand through his hair, "I-I-I'm educated, I work because I owe the Tallis' for what they aided me with. I have every right to love you and I will not let some... some narrow-minded people control our lives-"

You placed your hands on the sides of his face then kissed him with all the passion you could muster from within yourself. He moved closer to you, kissing you back deeply and striking your hair softly. You pulled away a moment later then took a deep breath.

"I-I... Love you," You mumbled and he smiled softly, "I will not let a thing come between us."

He kissed your forehead then grabbed you by your waist and hugged your tightly after turning you around. He started to poke your sides, making you laugh out loudly and begging for him to stop.

"R-Rob-b-bie! L-Let go of M-ME!" You exclaimed and he chuckled. Robbie held your hand then pulled you out towards the waves.

He lifted you up and you screamed, then he threw you down to the water, making you submerge completely. You stood up straight all of a sudden, soaked and making your clothes stick to your body. You ran your hands through your wet hair and froze when you noticed Robbie scanning your body from bottom to top, with a smirk plastered on his face.

You jumped onto him, pushing him into the water then splashing some towards him. You laughed till your stomach ached and you collapsed, falling into the water and sitting on the soft sand beneath.

Robbie walked over to you, throwing some water to your face and making you pull his shirt, causing him to stumble and fall right beside you.

You laughed quietly then watched the water ahead, stretching out for as far as the eye could see. You rested your head on Robbie's shoulder as he ran a hand through his water-dripping wet hair.

"Why can't we be together always?" You asked sadly and he held your hand.

"We can do anything if we really want to [y/n/n]," He responded and you turned to kiss him lightly, "If we are destined to be together, which is the fact, then nothing can keep us apart."

You smiled and he wrapped an arm around you, bringing you closer. "[y/n] Turner, that sounds quite pleasant actually," You commented and he laughed wholeheartedly.

"Somebody's in a hurry!"

You smiled softly and looked to him, "If it means that I can be with you without stopping then I do not mind the rush."
