"This is heavenly," Niall sighed as he sunk into the sun bench next to me, sipping a glass of vodka-lime.

I chuckled at his relaxed mood. He was dressed in just a Billabong board shorts, tanning himself. I was surprised there was even sun out in this winter weather making it felt warm. Liam, Louis, Harry and Sammy had dived straight into the water and were playing about. The only non-swimmer in the group, Zayn was lazing at a few benches down listening to his Ipod.

"So, what do you do when you get out to sea?" Niall asked.

"I go diving," I said.

His eyes opened wide, "You dive?"

I nodded, "Yeah. The beaches here are good to dive. There's plenty to see."

"And why aren't you diving today?"

"Cause I like to spend time with you," I smiled. Since I was not swimming, I had on a tee shirt and a pair of shorts. Recently, I had put on a little bitty of fats around my tummy and I was not keen on going into my bikini.

"Don't worry about me," he frowned. "If you want to dive, go ahead."

I shook my head.

"So you brought your guitar along..." I pointed out.

"Yeah," he leapt up and went to retrieve his guitar.

"What would you like to listen?" he came back with his guitar on his lap.

I shrugged, "Anything is fine by me."

"Any favourites?"

"Hm..." I shook my head.

He started to strum.

Fly me to the moon

Let me swing among those stars

Let me see what spring is like

On Jupiter and Mars

In other words, hold my hand

In other words, baby, kiss me

Fill my heart with song

Let me sing forever more

You are all I long for

All I worship and adore

In other words, please be true

In other words, I love you

I chuckled and he looked at me questioningly, "What?"

"You really love this song, don't you?" I asked.

He grinned, "My all time favourites."

"How boring," I pretended to smirk.

He narrowed his eyes, looking hurt. "Fine. Pick a song."

I pondered for a moment, "La Mer."

He raised an eyebrow, "What the hell is that?"

"Or also known as Beyond the sea, by Robbie Williams," I smiled.

He winced for a moment, "I'm not sure if I know the chords to that..." He began figuring some chords. "You sing it?"

"Okay," I sat up.
