Chapter 8

Will and I went down to the beach and I decided to go surfing and scuba diving. Will and I didn't talk after I confronted him about what I saw. He never did too.

George and Amanda came to the beach the same time Will and I reached and I felt Will slip his hand around my waist and pulled me closer. "Follow my lead," he whispers and I nod.

"So babe, first I'll teach you how to surf and then we'll go to scuba diving and other water sports alright?" he says kissing my forehead and I nod.

"Morning Amanda and George," I say as I felt them staring at us. Amanda just glared at me and looked at Will flirtatiously.

"Why don't you teach me how to surf Will?" she asked moving her had on his chest seductively but he just brushed it off.

"George will. I am teaching my wife. If you excuse us," he says leading us with our boards to the waves. We lay on the boards and wove towards a wave which was coming towards us.

"Just position yourself and balance," he says and I nod. I follow what he does and I stand up.

It was a big wave and I did balance but my foot slipped and I fell into the water. There was a lot of pressure because of the water and I couldn't swim back up. I was a good swimmer but I just couldn't come up. I needed to breathe but I couldn't. Just then someone grabbed my waist and pulled me out and laid me on the sand.

"Vanessa are you alright?" Will asked and I open my eyes. He was on top of me and looked at me with concern in his eyes.

"Yeah, I am fine," I say couching and I sit up. I saw Amanda enjoying that I had failed and that made me motivated.

"Will, let's do it again," I say standing up but he holds my hand.

"Are you sure honey?" he asked and I nod.

"Do you trust me?" I ask and he nods, "Then let's go," I say grabbing his hand and he follows.

We wait for another wave which was bigger than the previous one and I get ready. I stand up perfectly and I didn't slip once. I look next to me and see Will surfing and smiles at me. As we land, Will comes over and hugs me.

"That was amazing babe," he says kissing my lip and I freeze. This was the first time he was kissing me.

"Let's go scuba diving," he says blushing and I nod. I stand with George and Amanda when Will goes to book a yatch for us. "Would you like to join us?" I say smiling sweetly and both of them and they looked shocked but they nod anyways.

"Honey, Amanda and George will be joining us too," I say and Will nods. He holds my hand as we walk to our yatch. I felt like I was slipping but Will caught me and lifted me in bridal style and we get on the yatch.

I stand in the front of the Yatch and Will stands there holding me by my waist and hands me a drink.

"Thank you," I say and he kisses my cheek. I casually look back and George and Amanda were glaring at us and that made me happy.

We wear our scuba diving suit and we dive in. Will had brought a waterproof camera so we took pictures and he made a professional scuba diver take pictures of us.

I really enjoyed being with Will when he wasn't grumpy and moody.

Scuba diving was so much fun. We went snorkelling and Para-sailing and I enjoyed it.

We came back to the shore and we went to a small shop nearby.

"Vans, look I found this. This reminds me of you," he says handing me a bracelet which had beads and some blue starfish on it.

"Really, how?" I say lifting my hand up.

"Because it was the only one there and well it was unique like you. Also this will remind us of today," he says putting it on my hand and I smile.

He brought out a bracelet and an anklet with blue starfish and I smiled.

"This is especially remind us of today and how you learnt how to surf," he says clipping the bracelet and he bends down to clip my anklet and I hug him.

"Thank you so much," I say and he kisses me. It felt real, not like he was faking it because there were others around us, it felt real.

"I am sorry, excuse us," he says leading us to our hotel and I look at him confused.

"Will?" I ask and he was smiling. What the hell I've never seen him smile when there is no one around.

"You know Vanessa, you are fun to hang out with," he says and I smile strangely at him and he leads us to our rented car.

"Will where are we going?" I ask but he just smiled at me. I don't know why he was acting all nice.

"Here we are. Now let's goshopping," he says stopping at a place called Bagatelle mall, mall of Mauritius and we wentshopping.

He brought me so many things that weren't even necessary but he didn't listen.

We then drove to some local food market and we started trying their food. Sea food, peanuts and mushrooms were off limits. I mean he remembers it? Wow!

"So Vanessa, tell me about your past relationships, if that's fine with you. Any bad ones?" he says as we sit down at a small café.

"Well I have dated 4 guys earlier and it was a disaster. They all were self-centered, spoilt people. They were attractive, no doubt but they were too much. Once this guy in high school, I was popular and he was too I guess, well kind of. He asked me out on a date and I agreed. We started dating after a month and I realised that he was a jock. Well I already knew that but he suggested a three way and I walked out of the relationship. He begged and begged to get back but that was it for me and no other girl accept a wanna-be dated him," I say.

"You know Aura, Kylie, Spencer and Lulu?" I ask and he thinks.

"Your bridesmaids, who are in your group and you are their leader right?" he asked and I slightly laugh.

"Yeah them but I am not their leader," I say and he smiles shaking his head.

"It looks like it. They follow you all around and well they do everything to impress you," he says and I shake my head negatively and roll my eyes.

"Anyways, they toilet papered his house because of what he did for a whole week and he was so mad. You should have seen how everyone made fun of him," I say laughing and Will starts laughing.

"What about you? If you are fine with it," I say and he smiles.

"I have not dated anyone. I was a jock, one-time thing was my way," he says and I can't believe it.

"What about Sophia Poastil?" I ask remembering the thing he told me about her the first time we met.

"It was just an excuse," he says smirking and I slap his arm.

"You dick," I say and we laugh.

"You know I thought that you were boring and stupid but you are the opposite and you make a great friend," he says as we stop laughing.

"I thought you were an ass hole and a selfish creature but beneath all that you are a good man," I say and he smirks.

"To our new friendship," he says lifting his glass and we toast to that. Well not a husband and wife relationship at first but a friendship is good.
