Avoid

Chapter 45

I'd decided to leave Mateo asleep he looked too peaceful. It was another hot day. I had my neon yellow bikini on underneath my shorts and top.

Mateo appeared handing me an ice drink.
"Thank you! Hot isn't it." I smiled up at him.
"You most definitely are." He said licking his lips teasing me.
He went back to the tent to sleep. Lisa came over in her black bikini laying on the camping bed next to me.
She eyed me weirdly.. "Not sunbathing?"
"Umm, I don't know if I should."
"Oh please you've got a gorgeous body Lacey don't be afraid to show it off. Plus it's too hot."
She was right so I took my stuff off to sun bathe in my bikini. Lisa had gone for some food with Danny. I turned onto my front undoing my bikini so I didn't get tan lines. The sun felt amazing against my skin, so amazing I must of fallen asleep.
Until I woke up to Mateo... Huh what's all the noise about.
"FUCK LACEY!!" He threw a towel at me.
"Oww.." I moaned.

Then I heard a noise that sounded like someone took a picture. I sat up and the scene unfolded from there I looked down realising I must of turned over and my boobs were on show. My cheeks burned bright.
"You did not just take a picture of her Tom." His voice full of rage.
He was on the edge and launched himself at him taking him down with a thud. They were scrapping on the floor until Teo was on top of him his fist connected with his face over and over.
"Mateo!!!! Stop! God please stop!!!" I screamed.
"Someone help!!" I frantically shouted.
I tied my bikini back on as quickly as I could then tried pulling Mateo off him. But he just kept pounding him.
Suddenly I felt arms around me lifting me back.
"Just leave them to fight it out it's been a long time coming." I had no idea who was holding me I didn't care I kicked out.
"Stop it!!! Someone stop them!!"
Then Joe came from god knows where and pulled Teo off him.
Pushing him back.. "Mate your gonna kill him."
He ignored him and stamped down on Tom's phone crushing it. "Try that shit again and your a dead man!"
He turned seeing me held back by some bloke.
Who ever it was let me go..
"Teo.." My voice broke.
"What were you thinking!" He held his hand out to the bed as if the image replayed in his mind.
I could see he was furious with me but he grabbed my clothes wrapped the towel around me and walked us away out of sight.

We stopped so I started to put my denim shorts on. Teo had his back to me with his hands in his pockets. I could feel the rage radiating off him.
I just wanted to soothe him so I reached my shakey hands out onto his bare back then pressed my cheek against his hot skin.
"Teo please talk to me."
I could feel him shake his head no.
"Please Teo..."
He turned around putting his hands on my shoulders pushing me back a little to create space?
"Lacey I'm so fucking mad right now. I don't want to say something I later regret."
"I was on my front and undid my bikini so I didn't get tan lines. I must have fallen asleep and turned over. Do you think I wanted people to see my boobs?"
He bit his lip as if taking in my words. His eyes softened a little.
  I held out my arms silently asking for a hug. He just looked away, his rejection cut deep. I dropped my arms turning around to set off walking back.. when he grabbed my wrist pulling me to him. He wrapped his arms around my body in a protective loving way.
"I hate that he just saw you like that. The fact the prick took a picture made it worse. I just lost it."
"I know, I understand. You really did lose it though Mateo you could of seriously hurt him."
"Babe I wasn't doing it for fun. He was being disrespectful and god only knows what he wanted to do with the picture!"
"Ok! Ok! Well it's ok now. It's done with."
He buried his face in my hair.

"Can we go to the arcades?" I asked trying to change the subject and also because I wanted to just have some fun.
"If that's what you wanna do yeah." He smiled cheekily the one that melted my heart.

We played on every single different machine there was. We grabbed some candy floss.. which he teased me with. He went on the rides and even bought the pictures... I looked like shit on them but he .. he was stunning whatever face he pulled.
Girls would stare at him and some would even wink at him but he ignored them. One girl flashed her chest at him.
This did kind of piss me off and my jealous streak nearly made me want to throw my drink at her. Instead I just grabbed his T-shirt pulling him to me then snogged his face off in front of her.
