"What about pictures of you? Aren't you having that shoot for your dancing thing in a week or so?" Buddy clicked his fingers.
"That's such a good idea!" I shook my head.
"Why on Earth would he want photos of me dancing?" I watched as they all shared a look and watched Soph roll her eyes.
"Fuck me Av, you know sometimes I wonder if you have a brain in that head." She blurted and I frowned.
"Then what do you mean?" I was confused and didn't understand what the hell they were talking about.
"He means some classy nude photos." Chlo laughed and I suddenly felt a little sick. I shook my head.
"Absolutely not, no way." I crossed my arms and watched her roll her eyes. Marley chuckled and shrugged.
"I think he'd love it." They all nodded and Missy sat up a little more. I braced myself for the back handed comment to come out of her mouth.
"He takes sexy photos of you all of the time? Do you not watch his Instagram stories?" She offered me a smile and I shook my head softly.
"I've never seen any of them?" Nancy laughed at how oblivious I was and Buddy pulled his phone from his pocket. He scrolled through uploads he'd posted and there was one picture out of many where I was half smiling and smirking at him but I’m biting my thumb. I’m sat on his swivel chair in his office and I’m in just his shirt. I couldn’t ever remember this being taken. I felt Marley nudge me as my face dropped. I shook my head a little as I read the caption.
I’m one lucky son of a gun.
I didn’t want to look any further. I glanced up at Buddy, his chubby cheeks were now red and he smirked.
“He’d love it.” He patted my shoulder and I groaned outwards. I’d have to grow some balls and do it.

Nerves pooled in the pit of my stomach as I recalled the memory. His hands lingered around my waist and his breath tickled my skin. I tilted my head to look at him and smiled nervously.
“You’ve gone ever so quiet?” I knew he was raising his brow. I shrugged.
“Is the way I felt when you hugged Nancy the way you feel?” I whispered while everyone else laughed and had their own little conversations.
“What when other people touch you?” I nodded and he did too.
“Probably.” He kissed my cheek softly and I frowned. I turned to face him and watched him smirk as I moved my eyes from off his face.
“C’mon then…” Chlo called from by the entrance to the villa. I’d forgotten that there was a room full of other people who were waiting to go and enjoy their day.
“Jesus you pair. He’s like a teenage boy with you today.” Jay scoffed and I rolled my eyes as I made my way out of the villa.
We spent the morning traveling to another island, apparently the fish were better over that side and they weren’t wrong. We spent ages looking for different fish. They were all vibrant colours. I would 100% never see anything that beautiful again in my life. There we hundreds of fish. I hadn’t got a clue how long we’d been exploring the seas and the island but it was late afternoon before we got back on the boat to take us back over to our island. I glanced through pictures on my phone that we’d taken this holiday. They were all such good memories. Nance placed her head against my shoulder and I smiled at her. She was slightly redder in the face than she was this morning.
“What’s up?” I questioned as I pulled my eyes away from the pictures and focused in on her.
“I don’t wanna go home Av.” Her eyes looked sad and I glanced towards Jay “I think I really like him and I didn’t realise that until now.” Her voice was hushed and low. Her line of sight followed mine as I looked at the boys. Jay was laughing at something Marley had said and I frowned because he was smoking again.
“I don’t like his new habit.” I mumbled and noticed that Harry was now watching me gorp at his best friend. I watched him wink and flushed.
“I’m not joking Av?” I smiled to myself and shrugged a little. I had no idea what to tell her. I didn’t know if Jay would ever be serious enough about her and I didn’t know if he reciprocate her feelings.
“See how things go when you get back?” I raised my brow at her and she sighed and nodded.
“Things will go back to being shit again.” I cringed at her comment. They’d go back to being shit because of me. Because of them constantly looking over their shoulders to keep me from getting into trouble. But I couldn’t tell her any of this. I exhaled and pulled down my sunglasses and took in the suns rays for just a little while longer.
Vens - Thursday
Birthday’s had never been good for me. I’d always hated them ever since I could remember but as far as Birthday’s went this one had been pretty good. More than good. It had been great. Av was laying studying Jay with Nance. I’d winked at her and she’d flushed. Nance and Jay had rekindled their romance whilst we’d been on this holiday, he’d even shared a bed with her a couple of times which was unheard of for him. I nudged him as I tilted my head towards them.
“So what’s the vibe?” I questioned and he laughed as he took a puff on his cigarette.
“Holiday romance.” He shut me down before I could add anymore. I smirked to myself as Av lay down taking in more of the suns rays. She’d gone the most golden brown colour. She didn’t look British any more. Her eyes were still sea green and now
