Lucy's POV :

~later at the beach~

John and Stu tried to make a campfire and I simply watched them. I pulled my knees to my body and embraced them tightly, resting my chin on my knees.

Why had John to come with us?  I questioned myself, already knowing the answer.
He comes with us because John is Stu's best friend and of course they want to spend time with each other.
And Stu didn't want to leave me alone at home. I guessed.

I sighed and looked at the ocean in front of me, at its waves and I listened to the calm sound of them, trying to relax a bit and to make the best out of this situation, which wasn't easy.

John always grinned at me and I didn't know if he liked to annoy me or if he wanted to make an impression on me. I suspected the first possibility was the truth.

He looked like a teddy boy who'd like to make trouble and I had heard from Stu that he indeed likes it. 

Suddenly, Stuart took my hand and asked sweetly

"Would you like to go swimming with us? The water isn't too cold."

I forced a smile on my face and stood up. "Yes, sure! Sounds fab"

Stu smiled at me and we ran together into the waves where John was already waiting. 

We splashed water at each other and had a lot of fun. I even forgot it was John, who was with us.

But then something happened...

When Stu was diving, I suddenly felt John behind me. He wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my neck.

I stood there in shock, not able to move for a moment. Luckily I quickly could move again. I freed myself from the hug and pushed John into the water, then I ran back to our towels and sat down, shivering and staring into the fire.

John’s POV:

Shit! was the first thing I thought. I really didn't expect that reaction, though. All the time I was sure that she likes me as much as I like her but obviously I was wrong.

I stood up and saw Stuart looking around. He walked towards me

"John, do you know what happened to Lucy?"

"I... She cut her foot on a shell I think."

"Oh, alright. We should look after her..." Stuart said and walked to Lucy. I followed hesitantly, trying not to look at Lucy's angry face.

She scooted away from me when I sat beside her but I didn't want to give up. I recognized that I wanted Lucy! She was the kind of girl I always wanted to have.

I thought about a way to get closer to her again, but that wasn't necessary. Stu helped me unconscious. He had forgotten something in the car and went to take it.

She just stared down at the floor..

I lifted her chin and made her look at me. Her deep blue eyes looked into mine and I couldn't help but leaned closer and closer, and finally pressed my lips against hers, kissing her gently.
