Alice's POV

Finally we arrive at Joseph's house. The travel was a bit exhausting, since we had to wake up really early to catch the plane and Sophie's grumbling to Robin about not being in 1st class behind us, didn't let me enjoy some minutes of sleep. As it was expected, I sat with Vanessa and Emma and I tried to keep my distance from Joseph, talking to him as less as possible.

The time we arrived at the airport, two cars waited for us, and after half an hour driving, we reached our destination.

Joseph wasn't kidding when he said his house was by the beach. The sea waves were echoed in my ears and the sea wind was blowing my hair. I remained still some seconds just to enjoy it. After my peaceful moment, my eyes fall on the building. It has two floors and it looks enormous. It's painted in light colours, in order not to absorb the sun. I guess the colours are Joseph's mother's choice. Ι can't discern anything else from here, but from my first impression I can understand the Nelsons like to live luxury summer vacations.

"I still can't believe we flew coach!" Sophie puffs next to me. Not again!

"Sophie, no offense, but I think you've already made that clear since you have been repeating this in every way possible during the whole flight. Again, no offense." Emma tells her shrugging which makes Vanessa give her the eye. "I mean, we are here to have fun, right?" She then adds smiling. Robin walks to Emma and puts her arm around her shoulder smirking.

"Hey, Em, don't blame her, she is a white collar, it's an angst for her." Ro remarks playfully.

"That's why I sat 5 rows away. I know what I am dealing with!" Joseph remarks and makes his way through us and our suitcases to open the door.

"Traitor." Sophie eyes Robin and then Joseph. "Talk to the hand, Joss." She raises her jaw and puffs her chest.

"But the food was really nice!" Nina adds grinning. That girl never finds a drawback in anything. "Although I wish we could stay longer at the duty free stores." And eventually lose our flight.

"Can you girls move already?" Nathan raises an eyebrow annoyed, moves past Nina and Sophie and tosses his bag on the floor before slumping on the couch. "Wow Joseph, you weren't exaggerating when you said you had a big house."

"No dude!" Grant chimes in. "This house feels like heaven. It's huge, it has a fucking pool and it's next to the beach and of course the beach parties. That's why we annoy Joseph with our presences every spring break and summer." Grant jokes, getting in the house as well.

"Actually, you do that!" Matt comments,joking. "I have the decency to ask Joseph if he has any room for us." Matt picks his and Nina's suitcase and puts it at a corner, so it won't be in the way.

"Ape." Sophie fake coughs the word. "That's why I like you Matty, always with manners." Sophie drops her bag.

"Matt to you missy!" Nina glares at Sophie. Oh no! Here comes the cat fight!

"What's happening with your face?" Sophie looks at Nina, confused.

"Um, let's move inside, shall we?" Vanessa chimes in to play the peacemaker, dragging her suitcase on the front stairs before entering.

"Come on, Miss Ford." Robin picks up her bag from the floor but Sophie does not move.

"My bag is heavy... likeee way heavy and I carried it this far." Sophie points at her bag and pouts. Oh Jesus! What a whiner!

"Grant, grab Vanessa's suitcase. She's about to fall over trying to make it move." Nathan says pointing at her and Emma looks at him frowning. "And Sophie's too." What a gentleman.

"That's ok, Grant, I got Sophie's bag." Robin says eye rolling, but Sophie does smile at her.

"No, Ro. We are all ladies and we should all be treated right. And equally. Since Matt has a lovely girlfriend, what about the rest of you guys, settle our luggage's problem? Taking care only of Vanessa and Sophie's bags is quite discriminating, don't you think, Nathan?" Emma raises an eyebrow at him as she slumps on the couch opposite from him.

"Whatever." Nathan eyerolls and stands up to help us with our suitcases, bringing inside Vanessa's first and Sophie's afterwards and both girls thank him with a smile.

"Alice, do you want any help?" Joseph comes to ask me.

"Thank you! I am good!" I retort, getting my suitcase inside, passing by him. Wow that's a spacious living room.

The living room is separated from the kitchen, by a wooden counter and across the entrance is the stair to the upper floor. The living room has a large corner white sofa pointing to a huge TV with a small coffee table in the middle. Paintings and pictures are hanged on the pastel walls. A large window has the view towards the pool and a little further the sea. I would gaze this view for an eternity.

"Your house is really beautiful indeed." I tell Joseph without looking at him directly.

"Thanks!" He grins. "It's decorated by my mum! She gave us the freedom to decorate our rooms the way we wanted though." He chuckles. Robin passes by me, with Sophie trailing behind her, and sits on the couch next to Emma.

"Hey, flower child, bitter no one is carrying your bags?" Ro asks Emma. "Worry not, I can carry one more, since Nate took Sophie's." She shrugs.

"Thanks Ro!" Emma winks at her. "Seems like no one but Nathan heard my remark. Yet he decided to not involve my suitcase during the transportation. I am kind of hurt I must admit." She places her hand above her heart and looks at Nathan pouting.

"I am a man with two hands, you know." He tells her and forces a smile.

"Women are not satisfied with anything." Grant remarks.

"Grant, all women have their soft spots. You just have to find them. Matt knows mine." Nina gigles, as she's exploring the house. "Joseph, you were adorable when you were a child." She lifts a frame. "Sophie, is that you? You didn't look bitter back then."

"Thanks Nina! Well I remained adorable after all these years as well." Joseph grins and Nina giggles. "As for Sophie, I am not sure when the bitterness started to appear. I would say in the early adolescence." He teases Sophie and I start counting until ten to see for how much longer he will stay alive.

"Oh, that started at the age of 13. After my papa died. Then the trips to the psychologist started... so somewhere along the way." Sophie starts. "But in this photo I was pretty excited, because we had that nice ice cream." She shrugs next.

"So sorry! I didn't know that!" Nina mumbles and embraces Sophie in the most awkward hug I have ever witnessed. Sophie is like a stiff in Nina's arms.

"Hey Vanessa, look! There's your little crush in those photos too!" Emma grabs one of the frames from the nearest table.

"What crush?" Nathan sits up slightly to take a look at the picture.

"Vanessa used to have this-" Emma begins to speak but Vanessa closes her mouth with her palm. "She used to-" Emma continues trying to break free, "she used to daydream about Dan!" She finally says and Vanessa's cheeks immediately redden. This makes me crack a smile.

"Who's Dan?" Nina chimes in and takes the frame from Emma's hands. I look at the picture, where a tall guy with dark short hair and hazel blue eyes, like Joseph's, smiles at the camera holding a large piece of paper. He's wearing his graduation gown and hat and looks delighted.

"He's my older brother and that photo is from his college graduation." Joseph answers casually and Vanessa covers her face with her hands.

"You look alike even if he has dark hair. You have the same characteristics... Face's edges, eyes... Well Vanessa, I approve! He's a hottie. An intellectual hottie." Nina gives back the photo to Emma grinning.

"An intellectual hottie." Emma repeats smirking. "That's the perfect nickname, Nins! He used to tutor Nessa for that maths, um... I don't remember what it was exactly. A competition or something and Nessa would write his name all over her notebooks and-"

"Em." Vanessa says in a pleading tone still hiding her face.

"Seriously?" Joseph chuckles. "I wish I've known that! I wouldn't have stopped teasing Dan! You know everytime he asks me about you, Ness. Not to mention he used to praise you after your classes and he still does. 'Vanessa is an exceptional student,with promising prospects and a bright mind.'" Joseph mimics his brother, something that makes Vanessa's red colour intensify.

"OMG! There was some serious potential and I had no idea!" Emma widens her eyes and then pushes Vanessa with her elbow.

"That was like ages ago." Vanessa murmurs and puts her hair behind her ear.

Poor Vanessa! She hates being teased like that. Well, I admit Dan is a very attractive man. I guess it's a Nelson's charisma. Both have taken after their father's looks, however Dan has his mother's colours, while Joseph his father's.

His dad has a forced smile in the majority of the photos, but I would never imagine him being like they guy who was talking to Joseph to the phone that day. On the other side, Joseph's mum, Laureen, is a stunning woman. She emits some positive vibes even through the photos. Her smile is bright in every single one of them. My eyes fall on a picture, in which Joseph is about 5 or 6 and Dan around 12. They are playing at the beach and Laureen helps them build a castle. In the next one, the whole family is on an excursion together. Mr.Nelson has Dan on his shoulder while Laureen has Joseph in her arms. This is such a cute photo. I wish I knew what's the deal between Joseph and his father, remembering his state that day in my room.

"Um, shall we begin with the sleeping arrangements?" Vanessa proposes while keeping her eyes on the floor, bringing me back to reality.

"Definitely. I need some sleep to be able to follow our night's plan." Nathan says in a kind irritated tone while stretching his hands up.

"Ok I have a plan in mind... Let's settle first the group's couple. Matt and Nina do you prefer my parents' or Dan's room?" Joseph asks.

"Which one has the biggest bed?" Nina chimes in, making Matt blush.

"Um... I'll be taking the parental bedroom!" Sophie barges in quickly. "And... I'm sleeping with Ro!" This makes me, Joseph and Nathan crack a small laughter, while Vanessa smiles proudly at Sophie.

"How much will you pay me to give you the parental suite? Nina here, has a wish for a large bed, which I know she will take advantage of it, so why not give it to her?" Joseph teases Sophie in his own unique way.

"Um... because... um... aunt Laureen trusts me with her room." Sophie bargains and Robin chuckles

"But she's not here right now, so 50$ per night!" Joseph continues mocking her. Sometimes it's like watching me and Ren.

"It's settled then. The bffs are sleeping together. What about us, bffs number two?" Emma asks and squeezes Vanessa in her arms. "Plus, we're sleeping with Alice too. There's no way we're leaving our girl out." She extends her arms bringing me in the hug.

"No problem. You can sleep at the guest's room. It has 2 beds, so I think you will be fine. It's also spacious enough to scatter your thousand clothes and shoes around." Joseph jokes.

"Well if Emma wants, she can scatter her clothes in my room and not only." Grant raises an eyebrow, looking at Emma.

"I'd like to believe I won't be that desperate to do such thing. But in any case, I guess I have to be polite and thank you." Emma bats her eyelashes intensely at him. "Wait! Lover boy is gonna have his own room while us three are sharing?"

"Grant, I prohibit you to have sex on my bed. I have to burn the sheets after and the bed itself." Joseph scolds playfully Grant. "My bed is big enough to fit two people and then one sleeps on the couch, but we can take shifts. Are you ok with that Nathan?"

"Sure. I am not taking the first shift though. I am exhausted. Where's your room?" Nathan asks impatiently as he stands up.

"Upstairs! First door on your left." Joseph instructs him. "Sorry man, you will take the couch tonight." He pats Grant shoulder, who frowns. "What I said before applies to you too, Nathan." He addresses playfully, yet firmly to him.

"Yeah, not getting laid on your bed. Roger that. See you guys later." Nathan greets us the military way and heads to the stairs.

"He's kinda moody, isn't he?" Emma comments whispering and makes a grimace.

"Let me know when he isn't. I just hope he keeps his word and not come face to face with one of his bimbos." I remark to Emma, watching Nathan going upstairs.

"He is that kind of guy, huh? I can't even pretend to be surprised." Emma shakes her head in disapproval.

"Em, you don't even know him. Since when have you become so judgemental?" Vanessa eyes her carefully.

"I am good at first impressions. But I'll give him a chance if you insist." Emma states casually and pinches Vanessa's cheek.

"Okay?" Vanessa giggles slightly. "I think I'll go start unpacking. We might have brought more things than we needed to. Um, where is the guest room, Joseph?"

"Across from mine!" Joseph smiles at Vanessa. "Let Sophie know if you need anything." He jokes.

"Will do Joss." She shrugs and Robin giggles.

"Ok people, let's go to our rooms and get ready for our first spring break party!" Nina cheers in excitement. How can she be that excited with 3 hours of sleep?

After Nina's call, we all direct to our rooms to sleep and get ready for our first day of spring break. I have a bet with myself that I won't let Joseph ruin my first spring break with my friends. He can do his business and I will do mine. Since it's not meant to be, the only thing I can do is move forward, have fun and let everything else behind.

Joseph's POV

This party by the beach is the best way to start an amazing spring break week in Miami. The dance music is really loud and everyone is drunk, dancing or making out, wearing their swimsuits. My friends seem to have a really good time too, seeing them scattered around the place.

Matt is dancing with Nina and they make out from time to time. He seems so carefree and happy. I still can't believe how he became more confident and relaxed after his relationship with her. I guess relationships are not such a bad thing, as I had in mind. Matt became an even better person. I wouldn't think that was possible. He really supported me and helped me understand the whole Alice situation. If it wasn't for him, I would still inner struggle. After Alice left me at the cafeteria, I talked with him over the phone to inform him in relief that I've persuaded her to come. He congratulated me on how I handled the situation, reminding me not to make any rush moves if I am not sure about them.

A few metres away, Nathan is with Grant, having already cornered some girls. Both of them were jaw dropped when I told them to go on without me, but thank God Nathan released me from Grant's interrogation, since getting laid is more of an importance to him than the reason of me not coming. To be honest with myself, something that I do a lot lately, all these half naked hot cheeks passing by me and checking me out seem so ordinary and insignificant. I guess my... yes, my damn feelings for Alice are stronger than I thought and that's the reason my eyes are pierced on her all night.

She's with Sophie, Vanessa and Emma drinking cocktails and she's the most beautiful and hottest girl in here, wearing her jean shorts and her bikini, that point out her body perfectly. She's the combination of hell and heaven and that combination is a prohibited zone for me. As it was expected, Alice stayed true to what she said to keep her distance from me. We talked a bit always in presence of others, but she was distant and cold and our chats were typical and nothing more. I hate that!

"I find the sea calming." A voice snaps me out of my thoughts. I turn my eyes away from Alice to face a cheerful Robin, smiling at me.

"Such a romance trash! How you're not still drooling over your girlfriend over there?" I remark pointing at Sophie.

"Some people are born dancers, others are born with a romantic heart." She raises her eyebrow and crosses her arms. "And the drooling was exhausting, I needed a break." She chuckles.

"And what are you drooling over? Sophie being Sophie had to cover the good parts with this shirt." I tease Robin. Thankfully Alice is not so modest, but on the minus side, other men get to witness her breathtaking body as well. Fuck! Am I being possessive now?

"My dear friend, I'll have you know, that I don't need to see Sophie's flesh to get horny, and that having your girlfriend wearing your shirt, is quite pleasing to the eyes." Robins sassies me up.

"Well, when I get a girlfriend I'll let you know about it." I answer back and I am a bit surprised by the causality that I've said those words.

"Hit me up when that happens, it would be quite a sight." She smiles politely. "Well, I know why I am here.. why are you? You do realise the party is not here, right?" Robin says, by hinting that I would normally be around beautiful female presences.

"Give yourself some credits, Ro! The party is always wherever you are. Don't tell me being in a relationship turned you into a boring person?" I joke to her, raising an eyebrow, but the truth is behind this teasing there is a bit of a curiosity.

"Who says being in a relationship turns you boring?" She asks cocking her eyebrow. "Don't believe the myths single people make!"

"Maybe it's derived from the fact that your life is controlled by a single person?" I point out, taking a sip from my cup.

"Well, a single person can be your whole world, so how boring can that be? I find it beautiful, plus no matter how long you are with someone, you always get to know something new. It's never boring. And fyi, no one controls you but you." She smirks and I snigger a bit looking away and my eyes find Alice again. She's laughing at something that Emma says and I wonder why she laughed. I wish I could hear this laughter everyday and to know all the things that make her laugh. Maybe what Robin says is not total bullshit.

"Ro, do you ever miss this?" I ask in a steady voice,showing around the party.

"What, the parties?" She asks confused. "I am not locked in the house you know. I am not on a leash." That makes me break a chuckle.

"This life in general. The carefree life. Sleeping with a different woman every night, do whatever you want. I remember how wild you were, when I first met you." I smirk to her.

She cringes at that. "Hold up a sec, I was not that wild."

That left me a bit shocked. "You didn't give off the vibes of a relationship type of person." Now that makes her smirk.

"I came out when I was 13 and my first everything was at the age of 15. I was in a relationship for 2 years, give or take." She states. That was something I didn't see coming. Robin in a long relationship?

"Congratulations Robin Summers! You are one of the few people that managed to make me dumbfounded. I thought that Sophie was the one who managed that change of heart." I admit, still shocked. She looks sceptical for a while till she speaks.

"What you saw, my friend, was the product of a broken heart. My ex, Natalie, cheated on me, so partying and sleeping around was my coping mechanism. It wasn't the real me." She shrugs. "People wear masks all the time."

"Your ex was an idiot to do that to an awesome person like you." I smile at her and she smiles back, shaking her head.

"People have reasons for doing stuff." Her voice is calm just like her face.

"You have Sophie now and I swear to you that I will tell her off if she doesn't treat you right!" I smirk.

"Sophie will never be Natalie, Joss. They are way different, so I am keeping it positive, but thanks in advance." She winks at me.

"But why do you like being in a relationship? I mean isn't it great to be free and not to give credit to anyone?" I ask trying to find a rational answer to this stupid question. She smiles again and mentions the sand for me to sit down and when I do, she does to.

"When I was 15, I was thrilled with the idea of being with someone... then the cheating came, I lost faith but then Sophie popped up. Wanna know what I got from all these? All the back and forth?" After I nod, she continues. "Nothing compares to the feeling of waking up next to someone and falling asleep close to them. Nothing compares with the feeling you have when you share your happiness with someone else. To be able to kiss them whenever you want, to tease them, to laugh with them, to protect them. Life is good when you share it, Joss, share it with the right person. Freedom is nice, but it's lonely. You wake up with a stranger and you feel nothing, but once you wake up with the right person, then you will see what I am talking about." She puts her hand on my shoulder.

I stand there, musing over the things she just said. I am not even in a relationship with Alice, but I felt more whole than I ever felt when I was with her than with any other woman. Maybe relationships aren't that bad if they are with the right person. Maybe what Robin says it's true. I was never considered myself as the relationship type of guy and I never actually thought of having one. I was perfectly well with my lifestyle. I was until she showed up. Everything has changed now. Not only I don't feel nauseous hearing about relationships, but I also consider of starting one. How bad can it be? I will never find out if I don't try, right?

"That was really educational." I tease her with a smirk. "You should consider writing a book." She laughs out loud.

"Nah, my book would be boring, no drama here." She grins. "Why the sudden interest in relationships?" She asks then.

"Call it curiosity. I just can't understand what you people find in them." I remark, shrugging.

"Hmm... well, since I am the love guru around here and you guys always need my long speeches of love, let me end my speech with this." She pauses for a sec and starts again. "People tend to find a lot of reasons to not do something, because it scares them to death.. but I will assure you, if you do the thing that scares you, you most certainly be pleased and who knows, maybe even happy. So have no fear." That makes me chuckle.

"I can assure you I have not!" I say between my chuckles and take a sip.

"Sometimes even the bravest hearts have the biggest fears." She chuckles too and gets up. "If you'll excuse me, I have a girlfriend to drool over. See ya around, braveheart." And with that she leaves me alone.

I remain seated on the sand for quite some time, gazing around and drinking my beer. Robin has gone back to Sophie, who still is with Emma, Vanessa and Alice.

"Hey hottie! Do you mind?" A tan skinned brunette chick appears and sits next to me. Her hair is up to her shoulders and she's wearing a red bikini. I shake my head indifferently, not paying much attention to her. "I am Mia!"

"Joseph!" I introduce myself indifferently just to be polite, but still my eyes are on Alice.

"So Joseph... I couldn't stand a hot guy like you being alone, so I came to make your night a little more interesting."She says seductively. "What do you say?" I take my eyes from Alice to give Mia a complete look for the first time, since when she sat next to me. She's the chick that I would nail gladly a couple of weeks ago. Now, I can't find anything interesting in her, at all. I snigger and I turn to look at Alice again. Well that's what I call not only interesting, but exquisite. That time Alice leaves the girls and walks away from the party, by the beach. Where is she going?

"So... handsome? I am still waiting..." Mia's voice echoes in my ears and I watch her hand rubbing my thigh. I catch it instantly by the wrist and her eyes widen.

"And you will wait a lot longer. I am not available!" I stand up and I follow Alice's direction. I think it's the perfect time to speak with her alone. I find her a bit far away from the party sitting on the sand.

"Sick of the party so soon?" I ask with a smirk the moment I get near her. She looks at me with the cold glance she's been looking at me the whole day.

"I just wanted to call Ren, but he doesn't answer." she explains. "Anyway, I should get back." She's about to stand up, but I speak.

"Are you in such a hurry to get rid of me?" I look intensely into her eyes.

"Unbelievable! How do you manage to make me look like the bad guy?" She chuckles in awkwardness. "We made a deal. Remember?"

"I do, but as I recall correctly, the deal was to get some distance from me not to ignore me completely." I complain.

"Don't you have a harem to receive their full attention?" Alice shoots at me, pointing at the party.

"I do, but the only attention I want is yours." I say and that moment Alice's eyes stay on mine.

"What that's supposed to mean? I thought I made pretty clear that I am not going to allow you to play with me." She snaps.

"Yeah, you made yourself really clear about the 'play' part", I smile to her and I add, "what you left a bit unclear is what you're going to do if I don't want to play with you." I smirk in front of her face. That time Alice stays frozen trying to find something to say. Those moments are so rare. That's why I enjoy them the most.

"Joseph, stop messing around with me and tell me what you mean." She says firmly.

"I thought I was dealing with a smart person." I tease her, smirking once again and she hits me lightly on the arm.

"Explain yourself!" She commands.

I huff, before I start talking. "Alice, do you remember saying to me that you had 101 secret special abilities?" She nods. "Well, add one more to that." She looks confused, but I am so guilty to enjoy that.

"What is it?" She asks impatiently.

"The ability of making me have eyes only for you!" I finally say the thing I wanted her to hear the most. What I kept for myself for so long. Alice stays speechless, couldn't believe in her ears.

"Is this a joke?"

"No!" I exclaim. "Alice, since John's party everything's changed. I was a wreck for hurting you like that and I had no mood to go out or sleep with any other woman. My mind was stuck on you and only you.You have hogged my brain and you have no intention of leaving it. I tried to deny it and persuading myself it was just a phase, but it's not!" I confess, while Alice's brown eyes scan my face. She's still in shock. I can't blame her. I am shocked as well for admitting those stuff. "If you blame me for messing up your life, I blame you for the same thing as well. I was living this carefree life, without worrying or stressing over anything until the day you got into that fucking elevator and you shook me up with your fierceness and sassiness. When you left that day I stayed stunned looking at you walking away like you owned the place and I was mad and amazed by you at the same time. You are the only one who's causing these collisions inside of me. And now, here I am facing another. All the life that I knew has turned upside down because of you. Do you understand the damage you have caused me?" I say everything I wanted her to hear and it's liberating. I want her to know that she's not the only one who's struggling here.

Alice is numb, glancing over me with her captivating eyes. She opens her mouth to say something, but then she closes it again. She muses over and over the things she wants to say.

"I can say it's a nice feeling leaving Alice Reynolds speechless." I beam to her.

"I am checking to see if I am awake right now." Alice mumbles, pinching herself. "This is real, right? You've just said to me all those things now?" Her reaction made me laugh. "Stupid! This is not a joke! Do you have any idea how many times I've played this scene over and over in my head wishing it was real?" She hits me again.

"I can assure you it's real." I answer.

"Are you sure not drunk?" She raises an eyebrow.

"Just a beer!"

"Weed?"

"Not a single cigarette!"

"The change of climate then?"

"You're taking on my nerves! Stop talking!" I shout and grab her to bring her lips on mine.

She starts moving her mouth along with mine in a perfect rhythm. I can feel her lips touching mine softly and that she's not holding back anymore. She has let everything loose. I bring her closer to me, putting my hand behind her neck and the other on her slim waist. The kiss becomes more intense, hungrier and second by second we both want to taste each other more. It becomes more desperate, more dominating. I grab Alice by the hips and I put her on me, so I can feel her better, closer to me. So I can smell her perfume and become addicted to it. Alice plays with my hair, something that I really love and I moan in her mouth. I didn't believe until now that a kiss could be so powerful. I thought our previous kisses were, but this one is like a dynamite. I want so badly to explode with her. My hands start caressing her on her thighs and it feels so fucking amazing. I had never experienced something like this with any other woman before and this is just a kiss.

After a while, that it looked like a second, we stop kissing to take a breath. Alice puts her forehead on mine and she smiles. A genuine smile.

"I fucking adore your smile!" I tell her, smiling as well, caressing her cheek with my thumb.

"You should! You are the reason for it!" She replies and I wrap my hands around her to kiss her again.

The truth is I can't let her out of my hands. I want to touch her, kiss her,feel her, make her laugh like this. As I see Alice isn't so eager to stop as well. She leaves pecks on my neck and she teases me by licking it. She knows so well to turn me on, but something tells me not to push it any further for now. I can't believe I actually feel content by having her in my arms and just kissing her. If someone told me that a while ago, I would say that he's talking bullshit.

"So now what?" Alice says on my mouth after the kissing, her still on top of me and my hands on her thighs.

"I will continue kissing you there, because I love your moans." I lean and kiss her behind her ear, that I discovered is one of her sensitive spots. She moans a bit, but sends me away, trying to resist the pleasure of my lips on her flesh.

"Not that, you moron! I mean now what's going to happen with us! What are we going to do!" Alice snaps me out of our make out session dizziness.

"Do you want a declaration of love? I think I just did that and it was really amazing considering it my first time." I joke and she hits me on the arm again laughing.

"I have to admit it was quite impressive!" She grins.

"Why do you ruin it? Not quite! It was extremely impressive!" I correct her.

"Whatever you say!" She grins again and she pecks my lips. "Are you sure about this?" She asks worried.

"Alice, I want you like I never wanted anyone before. I discovered I can't be happy if I am not with you. That's why I didn't say anything, that day at the cafeteria. I wanted to be sure about it and now I am. If I am going to make this unknown journey, I want to make it with you! You make me want to do that." I tell her in a soft voice and her whole face glows in happiness.

"I am going to ask again. Am I not dreaming right?"

"Come here and let me reassure you!" I whisper and I grab her for another kiss. I am so greedy that I want more and more of her, but unfortunately all good things have to come to an end.

We sit a bit more until the sun rise and then we start walking towards home by the beach. I have no idea how time flew so fast. It feels like I told her everything only a minute ago.

As we are about to approach the house, Alice stops and says. "Joseph can we not tell our friends anything about us for now? It will be like having Big Brother's cameras fixed on us, considering our past and it will be awkward and weird. I haven't fully realized it myself yet." I understand her concern and I agree. It won't be the best disclosing now our relationship. Everyone will start asking questions and it will be fucking irritating.

"You're right, baby! Better to keep it between us for now! I haven't even realized what's going on." I answer and she beams.

When we get into the house, I see Grant sleeping on the couch and we climb the stairs on our toes in order not to wake him up.

"Goodnight Alice!" I say to her and I kiss her one more time.

"Goodnight Joseph!" She smiles back and goes into her room.

I am getting into mine and I see Nathan having spread all over my bed, without leaving me any space. I am so happy that I don't give a fuck about that. I spent the whole night with Alice and it was better than I expected. This girl has so much power over me, but I don't care anymore. I want to be completely lost in her.

Robin's POV

Two days in and I am already desperate. It's not that I don't like being in a house packed with people. The conditions are pretty awesome, I mean, Joss' house is amazing... but you see, even though I share a room with my love, I have been denied access to more private areas, because, Sophie thinks people will hear us, which is a possibility.

When I imagined spring break in Miami, I pictured me and Sophie on a beach just the two of us, or at least sexy times in the pool, but the pool has chlorine, is an open space and the beach is full of people. I accepted that, but I would like the idea, that when the rest of the house is asleep, we would have sexy time... but noooooooo. It is too risky. I am running out of options and patience. There's only one thing I can try and that's what I am going to do.

I leave our room and head to the living room, where Emma is watching TV. Emma is the coolest, bruh. She is a force of nature and I really like her.

I also spot Vanessa in the kitchen making a sandwich. Oooooh, that looks delicious.

"Hey girls, have you seen Sophie?" I ask and Vanessa, with a mouth full of chocolate, points outside. I wink at her and leave the room through the kitchen door to where the pool is. Everyone else is in the pool, even though it's getting dark outside, everyone except my pretty girl, since she had her share of swimming. She is sitting on a table chair, reading a book and drinking a glass of red wine. So classy, god she is such an adult sometimes.

I wave at the others who insist I join them in the pool, and approach my baby girl. She notices me, leaves the book down and smiles at me.

"Hey beautiful. How are you?" I sit on the arm of her chair and take the book away from her. 'Capitalism and freedom' by Milton Friedman. Oh god, she is unbelievable. "Is it good?" I ask as I turn page after page.

"It's incredible! Very informative." She sips some wine.

"How adult do you feel right now?" Her posture is so stoic and she looks like a sexy lawyer.

"Very adult. I think it's the wine that creates this idea." She giggles and I take a sip from her drink as well.

"What happened to 'I don't drink alcohol? When did this love begin?" I tease her. Ever since Christmas, she's been pretty different.

"Since Christmas. Mom would pour me a glass of wine while helping her make dinner. It's perfectly fine, it's not alcohol-alcohol... it's better than beer." She explains thoroughly.

"You know it has more Vols, right?" I remark playfully.

"I know, but wine is good for the heart and classier." She retorts.

"So beer is a blue-collar drink? I am offended. Am I not classy?" I bump my shoulder to hers.

"I have the right to remain silent." She jokes back.

"Anyway, now that everyone is preoccupied, I was wondering if you wanna go to the market with me. We will take the car." I originally wanted to rent a jeep, but Sophie chimed in and made me rent a red 2014 Ford Fusion. I got to admit the car is orgasm on 4 wheels, and I have always been a sucker for Mustangs, so Ford Fusion it is. Don't get me wrong, I love my 2011 BMW M3, but my dream has always been a Shelby GT-500 especially the 2008 model. My dad used to drive a mustang when he was my age. He gave it away though to buy a family car when they found out they were pregnant. My dad's car has been Alex's for the past 18 years. He refuses to sell it though to buy something new, claiming it belongs to me and I have the right to do whatever I want with it. I could never sell it, so for now Alex is stuck with a 1996 BMW M3. The fact that I also chose the same brand is totally coincidental.

"We went shopping yesterday, are we out of food already?" Sophie's question brings me back to reality.

"Well yeah, I also need to buy spray tan, so come on, join me." I nug her and she signs.

"Fine fine. Come on." She gets up and puts her book on the table. I grin enthusiastically and clap my hands, which draws attention to us.

"Hey, everything alright?" Nathan asks from the pool.

"Yeah yeah, we are gonna go to the town for a bit, I need to buy something!" I shout. "You guys need anything?"

Everyone wants something as it seems and this gives me a better alibi.

"Come on, let's go babe." We leave the house and head to the car, get in and then drive to the city center. I find a small market and we get in.

I pick the things the others wanted, and a spray tan, which I really don't need, since I bought one 2 days ago, but hey, I had to have an excuse to make Sophie follow me.

I pay for the things, and then we go back to our car. We leave the center heading to the house, when instead of turning to the right, I turn left. A local told me this turn will lead me to a hill, where I can see the whole city from above

"You took the wrong turn." Of course Sophie would point it.

"I know baby, I wanna show you something." This is the only thing I give away.

"As long as we don't get lost, then fine." She puffs and crosses her arms on her chest.

We reach the point 5 minutes later. I get out of the car and run to the edge. Holy Santa! The view is impeccable! Absolutely stunning.

"Hey, baby, come here! Come see this!" I wave for her to come to me.

"Wow!" She comments the moment she sees it for herself. I turn to look at her and take my phone out. She looks so pretty right now so I snap a photo.

"Smile." I instruct her and she turns around to the camera. She flashes me her gorgeous smile and her luminous eyes. "You are so beautiful."

"Stop it, you will make me blush." She snaps the phone from my hands to look at the picture.

"I am being honest." I get behind her and hug her. "You are the most beautiful girl in my world." I peck her neck sweetly.

"Your world?" She asks.

"Well, I think that out of the 6 billion people, there are other pretty people out there. But you are the prettiest of the people I know, and I do know a lot of people." I rest my head on her shoulder.

"I don't think that was romantic. It was realistic though, so I take it." She brings the phone in front of us and we take a selfie. "We are a pretty couple." She comments later.

"That we are. Are you having fun?" I dim this situation must be a bit uncomfortable for her, with so many people around. Thank God, we have a room to ourselves.

"It's interesting. I like the sun, and the beach, I don't like Grant and the mosquitos, but I do like hanging out with Vanessa and the others." She threads our fingers together while I kiss her neck again.

"Speaking of others, Emma requested I showed her a picture of my girlfriend. Do you happen to know what's that supposed to mean?" I am teasing her relentlessly. Emma told me what Sophie said to her.

"Um.. that you have a girlfriend... which is true, I AM said girlfriend." She then stays quiet.

"Well, I know you are my girlfriend, but I didn't know Emma knew I had one."

"She asked how you are doing the other day and I kinda told her." She shrugs.

"You said I am taken." I quote.

"Fine, ok, I told her you are taken." She waves her hands dismissively.

"Why is that again?" I continue my teasing.

"You really want me to say it, don't you?" I nod. "Fine, because I don't want her getting comfortable with you." She explains.

"You do know she is as hetero as they come right? And that it's the way she acts around others?" I try to make her understand that it's an Emma trait.

"Better safe than sorry." I bite her earlobe and sneak my hands underneath her T-shirt.

"I am yours, but I do like the way you eliminate threats." I sneak my hands higher to her ribs and scratch her skin.

"I am yours too." She turns around and brings her arms around my neck. "I love you and I trust you, I swear." She is so different from Natalie. Sophie is not jealous in a sick way, like Natalie was, who has accused me of sleeping with half my friends, but more normally jealous, if you will. She knows I would never cheat on her,and that I only love her, she just doesn't like the idea of people flirting with me. Same goes for me. I trust her completely and I hate the idea of someone making a move on her.

I think this will blow away as soon as we become an out and proud couple. We haven't talked about it after our fight, but if we do talk, I want it to be Sophie's choice. I don't wish to be pushy at all. I can wait.

"And I do too." She knows of my story with Natalie. I told her everything there is to know, so this is why she is being cautious about the jealousy thing. She knows it's an issue to me. "Thank God Grant is not an issue." I nag my nose to hers and she laughs.

"Don't remind me, thank God he has other people to bother in the house." She comes closer to my body.

"Hmm.. that's a good thing indeed." I say too, but my voice comes out hoarse. I love it when it's just the two of us. I need her, so I am making my move. I lean and press my lips on her neck lightly at first. "I love your perfume." I compliment her. I lower my hands on her waist and palm her cute ass. She giggles but then she moans lightly. I stop, take her hand and lead us to the car. I lean on the hood and then bring her body closer again, repeating my previous acts, only this time I get bolder. I lick her pulse point and at the same time I sneak my hands under her jeans. Hmmmm lace, damn!

"I love you wearing lace." She doesn't get to answer though. I kiss her passionately, stuffing my tongue on her mouth and gaining dominance. We spent a few minutes making out hungrily, but this left me craving more since Sophie stops me.

"We are PDAing." She rasps. I remove my lips from her collarbone.

"I know, but no one can see us." I attack her neck again, biting her lightly and she moans again next to my ear. So I decide to take another step.

I bring my leg between hers and pull her closer by her ass.

"Ro... this is getting out of hand." She whispers but begins grinding on my thigh nevertheless. Thank Zuno, I am wearing my bikini bottom.

"I've missed you, babe." I kiss her and deepen the kiss in seconds desperately.

"Me too." I smirk at her admission. This is it. I cup her cheeks and look her in the eyes.

"I want you. Do you?" She nods. I smile at her and then abruptly I stand up and take her hand leading her to the back seats and open the door.

"Um... Ro?" I wave my hand, untie my shirt from my waist and lay it on the seats.

"Voila." I point at the seats. I get closer to her again and whisper to her ear that I want her now and here. She looks stunned for a good minute looking between the car and me contanplaining what to do while I lean on the open door waiting for her. She doesn't say anything but she does tug on my loose tank top which is basically the green light.

So I smile at her and wait for her to get in. She does, so I get in too, close the door and in one swift move I straddle her. The car is pretty spacious so my head is safe for now. We start kissing again, urgently. I let her dominate it this time as I have others matters to attend to... her T-shirt. I take it off her and then I take mine too. She immediately dives for my boobs, which is no shocker, trust me, she is a boob person.

"Shit, babe, take it easy." I groan 'cause she bit me. But then... she kisses the spot and all pain goes away.

"Sorry." She isn't, I can tell. She looks up at me and then she bites my collarbone but there's not gonna be a mark. She plays dirty, huh?

I push her away from me and she has this puzzled look and her face, but for seconds, 'cause my hands come in view and rest on the waistband of her jeans and unbutton them. We make eye contact as I unbutton and unzip my own shorts as well. She licks her lips and then looks down at my dark navy bikini bottom with a hungry look. One of her many, she has two or three.

I take her hand then and rest it on said bikini while my hand rests on her light pink lace undie too.

"Ready to cross car sex off your list?" I mock her and dip my fingers on her center. She gasps not expecting it, but after blinking a few times and licking her lips some more, she dips her fingers as well. Soon we both start a slow rhythm, panting and sweating and occasionally moaning, when she comes around my fingers first, and I follow seconds later.

Now, still straddling her, I rest my head on her shoulder while she caresses my back slowly and lives small peck on my neck. That makes me really sleepy and after out steamy session, I find myself, dozing off. The moment I feel my body relax, the caressing stops.

"Baby, we have been gone for more than an hour." Sophie comments and pats my back, shaking me up for good.

"Hhmmmmmmmm, don't interrupt my bliss state." I murmur, pouting from her neck.

"Sorry, babe, but we need to go back." She insists.

"Fineeee." I lean away and then sit next to her. I immediately see the fog on the windows and that makes me crack up. "Wow, this is the Titanic car sex 2.0." I joke and she eye rolls. I eye roll at her as well, but bring my finger to the door window and write: R+S had sex here.

I am so damn hilarious! I wave for Soph to look at it and the moment she sees it, she chokes on her saliva. She rushes to my side and after hitting my shoulder on purpose, she wipes the window clean with her palm.

"Meanie!" I pout and cross my arms on my chest

"Let's go home, dork." She puts her T-shirt on and gets out off the car, going for the drivers door, so I get decent too and move to the passenger's seat.

It takes us 10 minutes to reach our house. She unbuckles and I do too, but before we get out I have to say it, 'cause it's been eating me up for 10 minutes now.

"Hey Soph?" I turn to look at her and she does too.

"Yeah?"

"You know what I just realised?" she shakes her head and I try to hold my laughter in, "That I rode a Ford in a Ford." I say and get out before she reacts. The moment I get out, I start laughing hysterically holding my stomach while tears roll down my cheeks. "God, I am so smart, I am awesome." I laugh again, but stop the moment I see Soph next to me. Her gaze is intense, I admit it got me scared, she narrows her eyes, puffs and then turns around and starts walking towards the house.
