Before Irwin Gets His Thongs In A Twist

"Luke, what are you doing?" I choked with laughter as Luke wrapped a blindfold over my eyes, walking behind me down the stone steps. It was pitch black; I couldn't see anything.

I felt Luke's breath fanning on the back of my neck. "Just trust me, I won't let you fall."

I sighed deeply, before stepping down, but my foot didn't land on anything. I tumbled forward, screaming as I did, when Luke caught me just in time. I felt him shaking with laughter behind me, his hands gripping at my waist. "That doesn't mean," Luke whispered next to my face, making me gulp. "That you can wander off without me."

I stepped back on his foot deliberately. "Just hurry up and get us down here."

So he did. He lead me down every single step, not letting go of me as he did, when I finally stepped on something soft. "Luke..."

I felt him fiddling behind my head, before he whipped off the blindfold, revealing a small but beautiful stretch of private beach. That was all it was, cornered off by two huge cliffs either side, so that no one else could get in. The salty sea waves lapped at the shore as seagulls flapped by, screeching loudly. It was perfect, like it was meant for us. Just for us.

"It looks like Michael's uncle really had this place planned out." Luke spoke as I glanced up at him. He stood by my side, gazing out at the sea. I looked with him, swinging my arms back and forth, when my hand suddenly brushed against Luke's. I closed my eyes and smiled. "Why have you brought me out here, Hemmings?"

Luke shook his head, before walking round to stand in front of me, blocking my view of the sea. "So I could do this." He answered, towering above me and looking down on me. He paused for a moment, studying my face, before suddenly slapping my arm. "Tag!" He declared triumphantly before running away from me.

I blinked, realizing what had just happened. Then I burst out laughing, kicking my flip flops off and chasing after him. I raced along the beach, sand flying everywhere. I ended up chasing him into the sea. I buried my toes in the soggy sand as Luke called at me from further in the water. "Come and get me then!" His words whistled in the coast breeze.

I grinned, leaping forward and racing through the water, the waves slapping at my ankles, when my foot suddenly slipped and I fell forward, earning nothing but a gob full of salt water. I rose slowly out of the water spluttering and dripping. Luke was laughing so hard, tears were streaming down his face and he couldn't catch his breath.

I pushed up from the water and charged at Luke, grabbing onto him. I curled my legs around his torso just as we toppled backwards. "Oh shit!" He cursed just moments before we were pulled underwater.

I stayed underwater for a moment, before pushing away from him and kicking to the surface, spitting the salt out my mouth. I shivered in the cold water, looking around for Luke, but he was nowhere to be seen. I wrapped my arms around myself just as something clasped onto my ankles. I screamed in fright when Luke bobbed his head up in front of me, droplets sliding down his face. "That was a right slapper back there, Soph." He spoke, his bottom lip quivering like he was gonna burst out laughing again.

I glared at him, folding my arms and turning the other way. "Its not funny, I could have drowned."

I heard tiny little splashes of water as Luke swam behind me and slithered his arms around me. I knew exactly what was coming; so I closed my eyes and held my breath.
