Ryder PoV

I'm letting Bella lead this, if she wants to kiss me, you know we'll be kissing, she wants to hold my hand, we hold hands, if she decides to drop my hand, break the kiss? That's all fine, I'm not gonna rush my girl.

"C'mon," she smiles excitedly leading me down the pier pulling my hand eagerly.

I let out a laugh at her sudden eagerness "where you taking me tesoro?" I ask her and she just keeps pulling and smiling.

I hurry to keep up to her eager speed, she just hurries more, we speed up until we're literally running and laughing.

"Tu sei matta, piccola mia!" I chuckle shaking my head.

"Hey you best not be insulting me," she pouts with a giggle and I let go of her hand and wrap my arms around her, lifting her and spinning her.

"Tu sei matta, piccola mia..... you're crazy my darling..." I purr in her ear and she stops squirming in my arms as I stop spinning her, loosening my grip. She turns in my arms and kisses me hungrily.

I lead us over to the railings and she turns so I'm against it. I chuckle and she giggles all blushing.

"I love it when you blush.. so beautiful..." I tell her and she bites her lip.

"Always doing the most adorable things... don't bully your beautiful lip tesoro..." I tell her softly as she gently strokes her fingers on the back on my neck, my arms still loosely around waist.

Shes so beautiful, smiling up at me, the wind catching and playing with her hair, her wide innocent eyes looking at me shyly.

"RYDER!" We both hear and look to see one of my mates coming up towards us smirking.

Izzy moves back from me but I just move with her, I don't want her feeling like she can't cuddle into me because of a friend?

She drops her hands down and rests them on my biceps softly. I sense her nervousness.

"Hey mate, how you doing?" Oliver asks as he gets close. He asks me but I see him looking to Izzy too. He best not ignore her.

"We're good thanks, what brings you here?" I ask stroking Bellas back, hoping to calm her.

"Ah just meeting someone, you?" He looks to Izzy and smirks, fucker checks her out.

"On a date with my girl." I say proudly and I instantly feel Izzy tense under my hands.

"Nice one, hope you both have fun... catch you Monday for the game yeh?" He asks and I nod at him as he walks off.

"You ok Bella?" I ask softly and she looks conflicted.

"Why'd you tell him? He could tell Will?" She looks scared. She's doing her lip biting thing, rolling her bottom lip between her fingers, frowning.

"I'm sorry, I just..." I shrug, I feel bad, I didn't think twice. Being with her feels so natural. "I just wanted to show off my girl, I couldn't help myself..."

"Oliver and I have been in the same classes for years and I swear he doesn't even know my name, he just knows me as Wills sister... like most people," she doesn't sound sad, she sounds unfazed. If you didn't know her like I do, you'd think she was fine with that.

"I don't want to rush to tell Will, I'm sorry." I frown at her, tucking her hair from her face. She leans her cheek on my hand and smiles a little coy smile.

"I guess you didn't exactly call me your girlfriend," she flirts, her perfect lips turn up in a little crooked, playful smile. Her hand reaches out, pulling me close by pulling on my top.

"I nearly did." I admit, and she tip toes, reaching her mouth up to kiss me.

I meet her mouth with mine and she pulls me close again, I do too.

When she pulls away I see all must be forgiven as she's smiling wide.

"Y'know Ry..." uh oh a mischievous look is thrown my way as she looks over the railing, leaning across me to look at the sea below.

What's her beautiful mind thinking?

"We're not that high up?" She smirks, "do you fancy a swim?" She asks excitedly and I nod eagerly.

This is so us, me, Izzy and Will forever used to do this stuff at the beach closer to home.

"Uh I haven't got a change of clothes though," she frowns, deep in thought.

I already have an idea for that.

I wink down at her while wrapping my arm around her waist.

"Trust me Tesoro?" I ask her and she nods shyly, "always Ry,0 she bites her bottom lip and I shake my head at her cuteness.

I feel my stomach flip with excitement that she's making me feel so happy.

I move my arm off her gently, take her hand and lead her over to an old couple who seem to be sharing a portion of chips between them on a wooden bench.

"Excuse me? Me and my girlfriend want to go for a swim, could I please ask for you to watch our belongings for us? Just for 10 minutes or so?" I ask them and the old man nods, the lady smiles widely, nodding her floppy hat.

"Have fun the two of you! Ohhh to be young John," she coos, smiles to the old man who nods, chewing. Not looking up.

I put my phone in Bella's little bag and she hands it to the lady, we take off our shoes and she heads to the railing edge.

I join her and look to the drop below, it's maybe a 10 foot.

"On the count of 3 still?" She asks me taking my hand and I can't help smiling a wide smile at her excitement. She's such a happy person. Daring, spontaneous.

We climb through the railings and hold each other's hands again.

"3 indeed... il mio sole." I wink at her stepping to the edge.

"Not that again," she rolls her eyes and pouts playfully, I laugh.

I used to call her 'my sunshine' for the longest time, I teased her, and wouldn't tell her what it meant, she begged and begged for me to stop.

She was so annoying and energetic, always tagging along with me and Will.. then one day? She decided to stop. I missed her, I miss her.

I guess things change, school, peer pressure to fit in. When me and Will made the football team, not just the bench, it seemed we got more attention, more parties, more social life?

For some reason that made me just want her more? Once I realised I didn't just like her as a friend, my world changed.

"Don't start calling me that again Ry?" She begs and I nod, feeling bad. I watch her tuck her hair behind her ear, her playful pearly white smile.

"Ok, my sunshine?" I cautiously try and she rolls her eyes at me with a little smile.

"I knew that's what it meant," she mutters, I see she's trying to stop smiling, but I see right through it.

I wonder if she actually did know?

"1....2.....3...."

She squeals as we jump off the pier hand in hand and the cold water engulfs us.

I pull her close as we surface, she's all wide smiles, gasping, with her crazy hair in her face. She dips her hair back from her eyes, all giggles, and I mess my own hair up.

She stops my hand, holding my wrist. I move my hands to pull her close. Just keeping them on her waist.

There's quite a few people in the sea as it's a hot day, no one near us. I see Bella is looking around too.

She completely takes me by surprise as she wraps her legs around my hips, her arms around my neck. I automatically wrap my arms around her too.

"This ok, boyfriend?" She whispers, her nose so close to mine, her lips teasingly close.

Damn she knows what she's doing to tease me.

She blinks a few times and I can't work out if she knows what she's doing to me right now or not?

Her bare thighs wrapped around me..

Her eyes tell me she knows what she's doing.

Not only does she know but she's enjoying it.

She's playing my body like a fiddle.

"Perfect girlfriend." I tell her softly back, she smiles, her eyes looking into mine, then moves back slightly, looking to my mouth, as I look to hers. I see her lick her lips, her whole face covered in little droplets of sea water.

She looks so sexy. My Bella.

She seems to find her confidence as she moves her hand to the back of my head and kiss me.

It's not a little kiss, it's a dominating, amazingly sexy kiss that makes me grip her tighter.
