{ JOE'S POV }
My face was gently greeted by her lips. Her hair fell down over both of our connected faces, her lips never parting from my jawline.
She lightly pulled back and brushed her hair behind her ears with her fingers. Her fingers then quickly tracing the outline of my torso, her teeth finally showing.
There usually isn't a lot that's special about a smile, I mean, it's a smile. Everybody has one.
But what is special about this particular smile was the emotions that evoked it. It was tender and gracious and it made everything about her more fascinating, from the creases around her mouth to the freckles on her arms, it was now a million times more beautiful. It was as if just that one smile made all the small details that bit moer visible, and it was just that second of graciousness that made it feel like all of the planets had alligned.
She gave me one final kiss on the lips before jumping off my lap and heading into the kitchen.
"Love, please could you bring my phone in here." The words left her lips softer than when her skin touched mine.
I scrambled through her bag trying to find her phone. Keys... A polaroid photo... A tissue... A tampon... A screwed up piece of paper... Finally her phone. Wait, that paper had writing on it.
It was a number. And it was signed by 'Declan.' This very moment made me feel sick. My throat became dry and my stomach had managed to tie itself into a double knot.
"Shannon?" I managed to croak, my eyes now slowly filling with tears.
I was mentally praying that this wasn't happening again. This has only happened once before and Shannon swore it was a mistake, please. She can't be cheating again... She's all I have.
"What you crying for, gorgeous?" She cooed, lacing her fingers together around my neck and pulling my head towards her, taking me into a passionate and deep kiss.

"Joe are you okay?" I quickly snapped back into focus and looked over at Aria sitting next to me in the back seat of the cab.
"Yeah, course. Was just thinking." I smiled, taking her hand in mine.
Soon enough we were back at the hotel and everybody began escaping their cabs, all heading towards the pool. I quickly shook my thoughts to the back of my mind and appreciated what was happening today and now.
"Hey you little love birds!" Louise chanted, jumping in between me and Aria and holding both of our hands either side of her. I glanced at Louise and then to Aria and chuckled.
"Have you had fun today?" Aria laughed, detaching their hands and pulling Louise in for hug, leading to the detachment of mine and Louise's hands also.
"It's a shame we left early, but yeah!" Louise responded.
"You can thank CeCe for that." I chuckled, and then walked back so I was Alfie and Dan.

{ ARIA'S POV }
"CeCe is still so pissed at us!" Zoe giggled as we sat on our sun loungers beside the pool.
"It was so worth it!" I laughed, pulling my sunglasses from my eyes as Joe began walking towards me.
"I'm gona go over to that side of the pool for a minute so I can connect to the internet and upload my vlog." He smiled, passing me and Zoe a drink.
"Can't you upload it from here?" I pouted, patting the space next to me.
"Nah, it will only connect to the internet from that side of the pool." He shrugged and quickly scuffled off.
"Wait, Joe! I need to check my emails." CeCe shouted, catching up to Joe's pace and sitting next to him at the round table on the other side.
"I just can't stand her." I groaned, sitting up straight and pulling my phone out of my bag.
For a short while me and Zoe just gossiped about life, laughed until our stomachs hurt and were quickly joined by Louise, Niomi, and Tan.
"We're all going to get ready in my room tonight!" Beamed Niomi. "I'm kicking Marcus out so we can all have a girly get ready party. I might actually film a get ready with me tonight?"
"Do it! It'll be so much fun." Zoe laughed, sipping her lemonade.
"Aria, where's Joe gone?" Louise pondered.
I glanced at the empty table and spotted CeCe walking back over to the gang, an evil smirk plastered to her face and her macbook tightly secured in her arms.
After she noticed me looking she threw a wink at me and galloped over to Harley. I interperated her body language and facial expressions in a milisecond and before I knew it I was frantically sprinting to the door of mine and Joe's hotel room.
I scrambled for the door pass in my bag and unlocked the door. I scanned the room and began panicking when there was no sign of Joe or any of his luggage or belongings.
Out of the corner of my eye I spotted a small scrumpled piece of paper laying on the bedside table.
Moved into Caspar's room.
I threw the note on the floor in a worry and raced to Caspar's door as quickly at possible.
"Joe." I panted, knocking on the door.
....
"JOE!" I yelled, now violentlly banging at his door and tears rolling down my cheeks.
I could hear him moving around inside Caspar's hotel room but he didn't speak a word. My breathing pattern suddenly became irregular and I began to struggle to control it.
"Joe, please." I cried, my hands now red and bruised from banging on the door so much.
I slid down the door and pulled my knees up to my head. I drenched eyes passed on the moisture to my bare knees. I tried to arrange the thoughts in my head as to what was going to happen now.
After a few moments I heard quick footsteps heading towards me.
"Shhh." A familiar voice cooed.
"Zoe.." I begged, gripping onto her as she pulled me to my feet.
"CeCe promised she wouldn't tell him until tomorrow night." I whispered, sobbing.
"Joe. Answer this door. Now." Zoe angrily demanded, banging on the door almost as loud as me.
After a few seconds of listening to him scrambling and moving around on the other side of the door, the lock twisted and the door creaked open.
Joe's face was red and his eyes were bloodshot and he didn't hesitate long before growling at me and Zoe.
"Joe, just list-" Zoe began, myself being in too much of a state to talk clearly.
"Just fuck off Zoe. Both of you, just fuck off." He spat before slamming the door, never making eye contact with me.
