The next morning I woke up a little early with a smile glued to my face. The breeze from the beach, chirping of birds, sounds of waves forming in the sea and the bright sun rays made the perfect ambience for a dip in the sea.

I gathered all my belongings and headed straight towards the beach the girls were still sleeping and I didn't wanna wake them up,after all that happened the last night and to face the reality of them mocking me all over again.
I texted Kim that I am at the beach if incase she wakes up and starts searching for me or even better directly jump onto the conclusion that I probably ran away with Sam or I am with him or something or anything like that.

The beach was quiet and with minimum people.
I instead of going into the water decided to lay on sand.As I lay on the sand,my mind was immediately filled with thoughts of the last night.The time spent last night with Sam and the memories, came rushing in the back of my mind.
His firm grip over my waist while dancing send chills down my spine.
He swayed perfectly against my body.
His caring and concerned attitude towards me the whole night was admirable.
I was actually able to discover a whole new side of him,the side totally different, the side that showed affection and concern.
The side that showed he has been through a lot.
And his perfect brown eyes spoke a thousand different words.
Obviously I would love to help him but I couldn't figure out how.
Like it's been just a few days that we met and I know nothing about his personal life and the fact that will we ever meet again and so I let the thought slip from my mind.
I quickly took a few snaps of the scenic beauty and went in.
——————-
After having lunch we all went for sightseeing,
and got to know that there were some haunted places here and upon hearing the word 'Haunted' I backed out. I went back to the hotel,I'd rather stay in my hotel room than go to a haunted place.Kim, Bella And Beth agreed on going and so did Ash and Adam,and Sam denied.
They all quickly exchanged their numbers(To call if one went missing)and went to their little trip to the haunted place and so I was left with Sam.Alone.
We ordered room service and started watching movies.
Without realising a laid my head on his shoulder and then suddenly he slipped his hand on my thigh.
I jumped a little at what just happened.I looked at him but he was super engrossed in the movie and I let it be as I was enjoying the touch , and tried to not think of it so much.
In between he unbuttoned his shirt and threw it away I was just staring at him as he got comfortable. I was mesmerised by how beautiful his body looked and how deep his eyes were.He caught me staring at him and I had to look away.
He then pulled my chin to face him and he look deep in my eyes.We locked our eyes and suddenly he crashed his lips onto mine cupping my face and caressing my jawline.
I kissed him back.
He then grabbed me by my neck slightly caressing it while he made me lay on the bed while still kissing as my hand goes through his dark hair.
Just as he was about to unzip my dress-
"Are you crazy"I yelled, "this,can not happen"I continued after breaking the kiss in order to get air.
"Why?don't you like me?" He spoke.
"But-its just been a few days that we got to know each other and we cannot do this right away" I spoke.
"But it's just a kiss, I know you like me and I like you too"he spoke.
I look towards him and I felt as if he meant it.
I could clearly feel what he felt for me.
"I love you and I mean it,I understand we barely know each other,And we might never meet again but I can't deny my feelings for you,and what I feel for you is genuine,and i know tomorrow you'll fly back,but trust me when I say I love you I mean I love you."he stated.
"I-i don't know how to feel about this,I-" I tried speaking.
"Just tell me do you like me or not?" he asked.
"Yes... Of course I do, but I don't know how is that gonna turn out,like we are just some strangers who met on a vacation and we'll probably forget each other as soon as the trip ends"I spoke, "and to top it all of,my dad is a mayor,and if by any chance this(emphasising on what was going on between us) leaks out then I am done,like we are not even dating and to spend a night with a boy I just met on a trip...it will be embarrassing for my family,for my dad and his reputation,and every newspaper's highlight will be-Emily,the daughter of the mayor had sex with a boy she barely knew on a vacation ...or something like that!"I stated,all confused and upset.
"Why do you think that,I will never forget you,because what I feel is surely not temporary" he spoke, "and you never told me that your dad was a mayor" he continued.
I gulped.
"But its useless-this is stupid,what if we never met again,this kiss it was useless as well" I spoke hesitantly while running out of the room and into mine.
"See I really love you,I like you alot and I promise to manage the long distance if that is your concern,after all we don't live that far like we both are in the same country,its just that I am from Texas and you are from California,what is the problem then?"he spoke while knocking the door.
"Lets end this here,I am so done with this conversation" I shouted from inside.
A moment of silence filled the air.
And he broke that silence by saying "I am sorry." And I heard the footsteps departing.
I felt guilty, and instantly replied "no you don't have to be,its not your fault" to my self while contemplating on what I was just about to do.
I rushed to the bathroom and washed my face "how stupid can I be" whispering to myself? "This needs to end here...itself,I can't let this happen to me on a mere vacation...and neither to him."
I hopped onto my bed thinking about my friends and where they have been,because if they haven't left me alone...all this would have never happened,but the mistake was mine ,I shouldn't have backed out,only if I knew this was gonna happen!
I was getting frustrated because it already had been three hours and neither of them were either replying to my texts or calling me back and I also was not in a state to talk to anybody else besides them.
"Guess I had to spend a little more time alone" I murmured to my self.
I laid on my bed about to sleep, when I heard distant noise and I knew the girls were back.
"It's been three frickin hours,where the hell have you all been? I messaged you all so many times but none of you replied."I lashed on them.
"Woah woah woah...you fine babe?"Kim asked.
"No... nothing is fine"I yelled.
"What is it babe?" Beth inquired.
I filled them with the details about how I almost lost my virginity...
"God...Emily you are getting freaky... Like we left you alone for a couple of hours,and you were already getting laid" Bella chuckled.
"Guys this isn't funny . I barely know that person and if I hadn't had stopped him at that point we might have ended up having sex."I sighed, "And that is not happening, not at least now."
"Why? What is the problem?" Bella asked.
I asked , frustrated "are you serious? What is the problem? Well everything is a problem,My dad's position is the problem,college! it is the problem,this vacation is a problem." I yelled at her all infuriated.
"Girl you keep on saying you barely know that person... Well in fact you know everything about him,his name,his friends,even you have his phone number saved in your phone,you even know where he lives,like not exactly the address but still,What else do you want to know... His zodiac sign?his mother's age?his father's age?how many siblings does he have or if he has one or not?and if he has one then in how many relationships have they been!? God...Emms just accept the fact that you love him,all this was meant to be and also accept the fact that he loves you too!" Kim scoffed.

"No guys, you don't understand, I mean even in-fact I don't even know how to explain it to you guys,And also I don't know if we will ever be able to meet again!" I spoke in defence.

"Emily, if you seriously love someone, you would never think about-How will we manage long distance, will we be able to meet again, does he feel the same way about me as I feel about him, will he ever make efforts to show his love!Admit it, you love him and the feelings are true from your side,make the first move there...is no book about the rules of a relationship and that males should only make the first move,so,go and tell him how you feel about him,and if he feels the same way about you(what we think he does!)Then he will do anything in his will to make you feel loved,to make things work out for you,You guys will make things work! and that's how relationships are meant to be...a little hard work from both the sides"Beth stated.
I could clearly see where she was coming from, and that the love, the feelings between Beth and my brother is true.
At this point,I felt very sad not sure why,and everyone told me to think a little about it,about us,about Sam! after all we will be going back tomorrow, and so,if I had to do anything,It was the time,this is it.This is the last chance.
Tonight is it... Tonight I'm going to tell Sam everything-how I feel about him, how I feel about us and how I feel about the future of us being together (if there is any).
I decided on texting Sam 'hey.'
And within seconds he replied 'heya.'
I texted him we needed to talk,and to  meet me at the  palapa at 9 sharp.
He replied with a wink emoji.
This was it... The very last chance.
