•I'm Hooked • Why Don't We•

17 - "Private time is over! We want Cam back"

Waking up to the sound of some shuffling and wispers, I open my eyes, pushing myself up and into a sitting position, rubbing my eyes to see what is going on.
Focusing on the boys, I see Zach and Jack sitting on their towels just talking about something as Daniel and Jonah are seemingly still sleeping.

"Wanna go into the water?" A poke to my thigh, startles me slightly as Jonah begins to sit up as well.

"Yeah sure" smiling at him, I stand up, brushing some sand off my legs, Jonah getting to his feet as well before I lace my fingers with his and we make our way to the water.

"Eww, you guys are disgustingly cute again!" Zach yells, my eyes snap to him as I look over my shoulder, sending a glare his way.

"You're just jealous" Sticking my tongue out at him, I catch him rolling his eyes.

"So are we going to talk about what happened earlier?" Squeezing my hand, he makes me look up at him, a small smirk playing on his lips, making me begin to blush, thinking back to the kiss.

"Yeah, uh... sure" feeling a little anxious and scared, I was bad at it or something, my gaze drops to the water, as it gets harder for me to walk, the water reaching my hip by now, our hands obviously in the water by now.

"Hey, I didn't mean it like that" pulling me to a halt, my eyes dart to the beach for a moment, seeing the 3 boys quickly looking away from us, pretending to not be stalking us.
Gulping lightly, I muster up the courage to look up at his face, only to see him smiling down at me, his free hand brushing some hair behind my ear, just like he did earlier, the giddy feeling taking place in my stomach immediately.

"Then what did you want to talk about?" I bite my lip down, a little confused what he's getting at, his eyes instantly darting to my lips as he lightly licks his before looking back into my eyes.

"I just want to make sure we're on the same page, because I really loved what you did and it was an amazing kiss" he surprises me with his honesty as I need to bite down the huge smile that threatens to appear on my lips.

"Even if I touched your precious hair?" Raising an eyebrow, I shuffle a little closer to him, tilting my head up a little, not caring about the three boys seeing it.

"You know, I'm quite okay with you touching my hair now" he purses his lips, his free hand dropping from my face as he lifts our intertwined hands out of the water, playing with them a little.

"I think I noticed" putting a finger under my chin and tapping it against my skin lightly, I smirk up at him.

"I really want to kiss you right now" he mutters, yet again taking me by surprise at how forward he is, his gaze turning from me to the beach, following his eyes, I see the boys trying to act like they're engulfed in an interesting conversation.

"I understand" without a word from Jonah, I know we are on the same page.
"Let's keep this a little bit of a secret for now. Just between you and me"

"Yes. But it's going to be really hard" he blows out some air, his eyes darting back to my face as I lean up to press my lips to his cheek.

"Let's get back to them, shall we?" I pull his hand into the direction of the beach.

"I think they're already on their way to us" nodding his head towards the beach, I see Zach and Jack coming our way, smiling widely.

"Private time is over! We want Cam back" Zach calls out as we walk towards each other.

"I didn't know I was that popular" giggling lightly, I loosen my grip around Jonah's hand as he does the same.

"I'll go back to Daniel, okay?" Raising his eyebrows at me, Jonah motions his hand to the beach.
