Law of Attraction

S E V E N

Becca's POV

'Right, it's hot and sunny - so we are going out!' Will announced, pulling me to my feet. 'Get your shoes on, let's go!'

'Do I get a choice here?' I laughed as I padded over to the door to pull on my trainers. Grabbing my bag and keys, I opened the door, motioning for Will to go first. 'So where exactly are we going?' I asked as Will locked the door behind us.

'I know just the place,' he winked as he pressed the button for the elevator.

Will heads straight out of London and I soon have no idea where we are. After about an hour he pulls into a small gravel carpark off of a small back road. All I can see around us is trees, which gives me no clues as to our destination.

We jump out of the car, grab our bags and bottles of water from the boot, and Will guides me down a small path towards the trees.

'Please tell me you haven't bought me for a hike in the woods Mr NE, I don't do exercise for fun,' I laughed as I followed Will along the path through the woods.

'As if I would dare,' Will laughed back. 'It's literally just a minute down this path, I promise,' Will added as he gently pushed me in front of him.

The trees begin to thin, and soon we were at the edge of the trees. In front of us was the most beautiful river, surrounded by lush green grass. And best of all, there wasn't a single person in sight.

'Will, how on earth did you even know about this place?' I exclaimed as I wandered over to the waters edge. 'This is beautiful!'

'I came here for shoot once for a brand deal. Not many people knows it is here. I thought about going to a park in London, but I'm not sure I want to deal with other people on such little sleep.'

I slipped my trainers off and sat on the grass at the edge of the river, dipping my toes into the freezing water. The river looked to be at least a few feet deep, so no chance I was going to paddle.

Will followed suit, and we just sat there in silence for a few minutes taking in the beautiful surroundings. It was Will to break the silence first.

'Fifty quid says you won't get in' he laughed, nudging me in the side.

'Not a chance in hell Lenney' I laughed, nudging him back.

'Hundred quid?'

'Still not a chance.'

'Five hundred?'

'You could offer me your life savings and I would still say no' I giggled as I pushed Will playfully towards the water. 'How about you get in, and I will give you my bottle of water and a chewing gum?'

The bribery and shoving continued for a good ten minutes before we both gave up and laid back on the grass, staring up at the cloudless sky. We talked about everything and nothing,  and came to the mutual decision that neither was brave enough to take a dip in the river.

Will's POV

A few hours passed, and I disappeared back to the car to grab more water. When I returned Bex was stood at the waters edge stretching out her legs whilst engulfed in her phone. I snuck up behind her, quietly placing the water bottles on the grass before creeping towards her. I grabbed her phone from her hand, dropped it on the grass and gave Bex a gentle shove towards the water.

She immediately lost balance, grabbing onto me to stop herself from falling. I wasn't expecting her to grab onto me and went toppling with her, both landing in the freezing river with a splash.
