"You look insane." Tasha said as she loosely curled my hair. "Make sure you have the most amazing time, just enjoy the moment." 

"I will." 

Will met me at the bottom of the stairs and he also looked amazing in his white shirt and black trousers. "Delilah..."

"Will." I teased bring him in for a short kiss. "You ready."

"Never been more ready for anything."

"Wow." I whispered as we arrived at the beach, white sand spreading out as far as the eye could see either way but what caught both of our attentions was the jet ski standing on the edge of the sea. "Is that for us?"

"I think so." Someone guided us down there and we were instructed to follow a little path out into this sea and round the bend into the unknown. We were both provided life jackets before we could begin. "Hold on tight."

"Always."

I think the enjoyment was shown in both of our squeals as he went at full speed round the bend, my hands tightly gripping his life jacket. But no more sound could come out when my mouth just dropped at the beautiful sight in front of us at a seemingly deserted island. 

"What is this place?"

"I think that's ours to explore."

Will thankfully helped me down as we touched down on the island, the smooth sand underneath our toes as we walked barefoot across the beach where we were further guided by rose petals along the sand. We turned a corner on the island and again I was left speechless and we were met with a pack of flamingos in the water.

"Oh My...."

"This is incredible." I whispered, trying not to scare them as we walked over and paddled in the sea, flamingos surrounding us. "We need to take a photo or they won't believe us."

"I don't think I can believe it and I'm actually here."

We took our turns feeding the flamingos before we moved back onto the beach and found a picnic blanket set out for us with a bottle of wine and two pizzas to share. 

"This is hands down the best date ever." I said as we sat across from each other. "I think I'm still in shock."

"Me too."

"Would you say this is better than our first date then?"

"Up on the terrace?" I confirmed his question with a nod. "I think so in terms of like what we're doing but I don't think I'll ever forget that one on the terrace. I think because that was like our first time properly alone together and it just confirmed to me how much we got along."

"Did you come in here thinking anything then? Any idea of who you would like?"

"I mean you genuinely seemed like a lovely girl so I knew we'd get along. I just thought you was already taken and I was too late so when you said you wasn't, I immediately made you like my first priority."

"I think you're the first bombshell that's come in who's really made me feel that way. Even from just sitting around the firepit with you, you made me feel special."

"I made you feel how you deserve to feel."

"Are you excited for getting out of here?" I asked, letting him take a bit of the slice of pizza I was holding. 

"I'm really excited just because I know deep down that we'll work. I can't explain it to anyone and I really don't know why but I just know we will."

"I feel the same. I'm excited to just see what happens and let our lives naturally intertwine with each other."
