As we wander together in the market, me in my flowy dress and him in his tee and jeans, we enjoy each other's company.

The warm tropical climate soothes my stress away, or it could be Donny's presence, either way I'm relishing it to the fullest.

Donny keeps cracking jokes, making me laugh every now and then, making the passersby give us looks as if we were crazy. Well all the best people are. Right?

When Simone had to depart for Michigan, cutting her trip short, I really was kind of in a bind thinking what would I do here alone. If it wasn't for Donny, I'd probably stay holed up inside my hotel room, binge watching Netflix and eating junk and wasting away my vacation just like that.

So, yeah, after such a long time, I am finally enjoying doing something for myself and being here with Donny is just the cherry on top.

He is such a goof and I really like that about him. One thing that I noticed about Donny is that he has never even once looked at other women, very pretty women, might I add for whom even I won't mind turning gay. Yes, they were really that attractive and the man beside me paid them no heed whatsoever. He kept all his attention on me which gave me a giddy feeling inside my stomach. He is making me feel things already and it's been only like 2 days. I am well aware where this is going... Where my feelings are leading but not wanting to get hurt later on, I keep a tight leash on my wild heart to tame it.

"You know there are plenty of women ogling you shamelessly right now?" I say to Donny, while sipping on my iced tea as we sit in a local restaurant on the seaside, with the sound of waves crashing against the stony shore as our background music. One could hear the seagulls screeching in the faraway distance. The sun is about to set for the day, marking the start to the end of yet another beautiful day.

I sit there while casually scanning the crowd, only to find all the pairs of female eyes directed towards Donny, practically envisioning him naked as if somehow they have all unlocked the skill of 'X-Ray Vision' right at the same time the moment Donny walked in. I know very well. I don't blame them. I do the same all the time. The man is just too hot for his own good and for women's mental and sexual health.

"Are you jealous?" He wiggles his eyebrows to tease me, looking so funny that I started laughing but regretted it the moment I started choking onto my drink.

I sit there with iced tea all over my chin, as I continue to have a coughing fit. Donny immediately rushes to my side and begins to pat my back gently. Even as I am choking like I'm going to die, I am much more concerned about how embarrassing this whole thing is. I am absolutely mortified because of how I must be looking right now, with the sweet drink all over my face and on my dress, tears pricking at the corner of my eyes because of the pain from all the choking coughs. Dying isn't a bad option right now...

Once the coughing subsides, Donny hands me a glass of water and I take small sips to calm my burning throat.

"Damn Don, you're not supposed to make me laugh when I'm drinking something." My voice comes out a little hoarse because of my intense coughing fit. I take a few napkins to clean the mess that I had created and to make myself look a little presentable, if that's possible at all, fully aware that other people around us are staring at us but we both are too unbothered to even notice. I am busy being embarrassed while Donny is quite occupied being concerned over me.

"Sorry babe. Are you okay?" He gazes down at me tenderly, looking awfully guilty.

"Hey, I'm fine. It's not your fault. I was the one who was chugging on the tea like a pig. I'm totally and absolutely okay." I beam at him while wrapping my hands around his neck to pull him down and place a quick kiss on his luscious pink pouty lips to wipe the frown off his face.

He pulls back, breaking the kiss, "I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to choke you."

My smile widens mischievously at the dirty thought that crosses my mind at his innocent statement.

"You didn't mean to choke me?" This time, I'm the one wiggling my eyebrows at him in a suggestive way, his face relaxes into an adorable smile as the realisation dawns on him. He scoffs at me with a small smile playing on his lips, shaking his head at me.

"You're so dirty minded. I didn't even mean it that way..." he mumbled.

"I know!" I chirp and pull him into another kiss. He kisses me back just as fervently. Breaking the kiss he settles beside me. He tugs a strand of my hair behind my ear, making me melt into a puddle, metaphorically speaking of course. He leans forward towards my ear, his lips brushing against the heated skin of my ear.

"So... Do you want me to choke you?" He says seductively, teasingly, making my whole body come to life with the carnal need for his touch.

Calming my horny self, I turn towards him, all calm and composed. Leaning forward until my lips are touching his, brushing over his, in an enticing way, I reply, "Who's being dirty minded now, Mr. Lewis?"

I stare into his eyes to find a dark gleam in them, making me smile victoriously. I bite my lip to contain it, which only makes his pupil dilate even more. His eyes drop down to my lips and the look he's giving me right now makes all the thoughts about my earlier embarrassing fiasco vanish into thin air.

"If you don't stop biting your lip, we might have to apologise to the restaurant owners for breaking their table, and to these other people for scarring their eyes. I will be forced to take you right here, right now. Don't test me, babe." Donny's husky, low whispers makes me clench my thighs together, feeling the familiar ache between my legs. As if to prove his point, his tongue darts out licking my earlobe enticingly, making me release a soft moan.

"You're incorrigible!" I say, laughing at his lack of modesty.

"Yeah, thanks to you." He snorts, making me chuckle.

A lazy smile appears on his lips as he watches me laugh.

"What?" I ask with a foolish smile still plastered onto my face.

"You're so fucking beautiful..." He leans in and kisses my cheek softly.

And this right here ladies and gentlemen is my cue to turn red to my roots. This man could make me go from horny to blushing in a few seconds and that is saying something.

"And freakin' adorable, especially when you blush like that... " He chuckles, placing a kiss on the base of my throat, making my stomach flutter.

"You're going to make me light-headed with all your compliments. I might faint." Giggling, I place a chaste kiss on his lips.

"Don't worry babe, I'll catch you." He beams at me so adorably that I couldn't help myself but pull his cheeks.

"And you say I'm the one who's adorable. Look at you, Donny." I coo at him, making him scowl a bit but his face lights up when I kiss his nose. "I like when I make you blush."

"You have no idea what else you do to me..." Touching his forehead with mine, he whispers so softly making me melt instantly.

"I hope all good things." I reply in mock seriousness which makes him grin.

"So damn good." We both start chuckling when we're interrupted by someone clearing their throat.

Ugh!!! Now what!? I mentally groan at the interruption.

"You're Donny Lewis, right?" An overly sweet but sickening voice asks. I turn my gaze around to meet the eyes of the voice's owner. I scrutinise the woman standing there in front of me, wearing a really tight neon tube, bodycon dress, hugging her body in all the right places. She has a body to die for but her face is caked with excessive makeup, making her look older than she really is.

She would be really pretty if she tones her makeup down a bit.

I'm always in favor of women supporting women. But the platinum blonde haired woman in front of me must be thinking otherwise with the way she is staring daggers at me. Woah! I can feel the murder intent coming out of her in waves.

"No, I'm Harry Potter and she's Ginny Weasley." Donny replies in absolute seriousness, his voice devoid of any emotion but his eyes full of mischief. My eyes widen at his reply and before I could start laughing hysterically, I place my hand on my mouth, but a few chuckles escape me.

The lady narrows her eyes at me, icily. Thanks for the hot weather or I would have turned into an icicle right now.

"Umm, hi." I give her an awkward wave and continue politely. "Sorry. And yeah he is Donny Lewis. He is just having a heat stroke right now. Don't mind him."

"Hey! That's mean." Donny pouts at me, making me chuckle. I peck his lips slightly before turning our gazes to our beautiful interrupter.

She coughs awkwardly to which Donny raises an eyebrow, giving her full effect of his arrogance. I could sense how much he is really bothered by the interruption.

Damn papi, chill.

"Do you want something?" Donny asks in a clipped voice. I've never seen him like this, which is why this is a bit surprising to me.

"I... I just want to ask if I can have a picture with you." She stutters a little because of Donny's boorish behaviour, clearly not expecting him to act like this.

"Sure." He nods, she squeals loudly making me wince a little. No hate to her but her loud squeal sounded more like a piercing screech to my ears.

"Would you mind?" She asks rudely, literally shoving her camera to my chest. 

Okay now what did I even do to her? She's really acting like a bitch when I didn't even do anything to her. Is she jealous of me because I'm with Donny?

"Sure." I smile at her despite of how she's being towards me.

"No, she-" Donny begins but I shake my head at him.

"It's alright, babe." I wink at him and stand up to take their picture.

After clicking a few shots I start to hand her camera back to her but she snatches it from my hand quite harshly.

Okay now she is taking it too far. This is unnecessary. Calm down, Sky. You don't want to unnecessarily waste your energy on bitch-slapping. Be the bigger person and don't stoop to her level.

Without even muttering a simple thanks to me, she turns towards Donny and puts her hand on his biceps. The audacity! She pushes herself to his side, making her breasts rub against him. She gives me a brief look of disgust before turning and pushes herself more onto him. By the look Donny is sporting right now, he doesn't seem to be enjoying her company. He puts his hand on hers, and prys off her death grip. I relax and start thinking about how some people cannot just take the hint.

"Would you like to join me for some drinks?" She beams at Donny, making me raise my eyebrows in amusement at her tries. She's trying too hard.

"Ugh... No. If you didn't notice I'm here with my girlfriend." He replies in a curt voice. But as I said she couldn't take a hint and again grabbed his arm and pushed her breasts against his arm. She is all over him, throwing herself on him and I could sense how uncomfortable she is making him. My initial amusement vanishes the moment I see Donny trying to squirm out of her hold. At that moment I decided to step in.

It's not just women who face such creepy behaviour. Men do too. They feel uncomfortable too.

I start to move towards him and he instantly reaches out to pull me close, wrapping his arm around my waist, placing a soft kiss on my exposed shoulder. I feel the tension releasing from his body the moment he pressed me close to himself.

"She's getting on my nerves." He whispers into my ear slowly.

"Want me to get rid of her?"

"Please!" He replies desperately.

I chuckle at his annoyance and turn to the woman with a full-on glare.

"What's your problem?" I ask her point blank, my voice coming out a little sharp. Okay. A lot sharper.

Flinching a little at my tone, she looks at me flabbergasted.

"Umm... I... Uh... I-" Seeing her struggling to form a coherent sentence, I begin again, not giving her time to talk back to me.

"Look, he clearly said he's with his girlfriend so why don't you just stop trying so hard and just accept it? I don't want to be rude but you're really trying too hard and it isn't even going to happen. You're making him uncomfortable. Can't you see that?" I say.

"You're really beautiful and you can get any guy you want, given he is single and actually interested in you." I continue softening my voice so that my comments don't seem too harsh.

Her facial musculature relaxes as she finally got what I said.

She mumbles a low apology to us both and sashays away from us.

Donny lets out a breath of relief behind me, his hands resting on either side of my hips. Pulling me close to him, attaching his front with my back, he murmurs, "I don't like when women or people in particular throw themselves at me. I love my fans and supporters but sometimes they go overboard with it as if they own me. This was the prime example of it." He sighs before continuing.

"And I definitely didn't like the way she was glaring at you since the moment she walked up to our table." He nuzzles his nose into my hair and I rub my hands over his to comfort him a little. I can understand how it's like to be swarmed with people. Being famous isn't easy. Especially when there's paparazzi all around, hiding in disguise, waiting to jump at any opportunity for the big scoop which may ruin your career.

Celebrities are humans too. They have the right to their own privacy. Having to deal with nosy media and obsessive fans makes them wary of every single one.

"It's alright. I'm here with you. I'll protect you." I say jokingly to lift up his gloomy expression.

He smiles slowly and lets go off me. Settling in our previous seats we both begin our usual banter. This goes on for a few minutes when I finally ask him what's been on my mind from the moment he said it.

"So... Girlfriend?" I ask him , wiggling my eyebrows at him teasingly.

"Yeah, about that, it kind of just slipped out, I wanted her gone." He says, raking a hand through his dark locks, giving me a sheepish look.

"Oh." Okay. I won't lie, I'm a tad bit disappointed.

What? You expect just because you're fucking and he's being sweet and calling you babe, you're dating?

I look down dejectedly agreeing with my internal conflict.

A moment of silence passes between us. I sense Donny's restlessness so I look up.

"What?" I ask him.

"Uh- I... Uh- I kind of, actually, was about to ask you out. Like a date. If it's okay with you. I mean if you want to go on a date with me, like a proper date. I don't know what it is about you but I want to do it right and I don't want just sex with you and-" I grin at him as he continues to ramble on.

"Okay. I'll be delighted to go on a date with you." He stops abruptly then a wide toothy grin forms on his handsome face making me let out a shy giggle.

"Are you serious!?" He asks, smiling widely at me.

I nod in all seriousness, smiling brightly at him. He grins back at me.

He reaches across the table and takes hold of my left hand in his. He pulls my hand towards his face and places a soft kiss on the back of it. We both give each other a stupid smile and in that moment I felt strangely complete.
