"Let's go for a swim", I said grabbing his hand and pulling him towards the sea.
"Don't go out too far", Ingrid said in a teasing tone.
"Okay mum", I shouted back as me and Matteo got further into the sea until the water was hitting my chest.
I heard a couple kids squealing with happiness making me turn my head around to see them playing with their parents making me smile a little.
"I don't understand how you don't want that, Liv", Matteo said as he wrapped his arms around my waist. I've never thought about having kids to be honest. Do I want them? I haven't thought about it. Do I want them with him? No.
"Are we still on this?", I said annoyed as I pulled back from his arms. We had moved slightly closer to the shoreline so the water was now at my thighs.
"I'm not sure if I can forget about it, Liv-"
"How can you say that when you told me it was my choice?"
"I should have got some sort of a say, it was my-"
"Don't finish that sentence, it's done, we can't change it", I said pinching the bridge of my nose.
"Maybe we can", he said softly as he placed his hands on my hips.
"Are you fucking kidding me?", I said angrily as I pushed his chest.
"Give me one good reason why you don't want any kids", he said.
"Do I really need a fucking reason, is 'I don't want them' not a good enough reason?", I asked annoyed as he shook his head.
"No, it's not", he said as I just let out a sigh and made my way back to the sand. I grabbed a beer before planting myself down on the only free lounger that happened to be beside Leah.
"Trouble in paradise?", she said not looking at me as she flipped the page of her magazine.
"I'm not in the mood for this, Williamson", I huffed before I placed my sunglasses over my face and put my hands behind my head.
"Your boyfriend is an ass", she commented as I let out a scoff.
"You don't even know him", I defended. Was it because he actually isn't an ass? He is. Or is it because I want her to think I'm happy so she'll leave me alone? Most likely.
"I know enough", she said, still not looking at me.
"Please enlighten me", I said sarcastically as she continued to flip through her magazine.
"I've seen how you are with and without him, you're still the same, cocky, and stubborn person, but when he's around, something changes, you don't seem as happy", Leah said as she finally glanced at me.
"Are you watching me now?", I glared at her as she looked me up and down.
"How can I not?", she smirked as I just flipped her off without looking at her. I hear a laugh slip from her lips making my stomach flip at hearing her laugh for the first time. She's just annoying, that's all. I'm straight and I definitely don't feel anything but hatred for Leah Williamson.

"What about this?", Keira said holding up a dress.
"What am I? A nun? Absolutely not", I said shaking my head as I searched through the wardrobe for something to wear. I pulled out a short green spaghetti strap dress and showed it to Keira.
"Definitely slutty, definitely you", Keira said nodding her head.
"That's the nicest thing anyones ever said to me", I said pretending to be upset and placing my hand on my chest.
"Yeah yeah, get dressed", Keira said making her way to the door.
"Make me a drink would you?", I said as I pouted my lips at her. She just rolled her eyes jokingly and left the room.
Keira came back 5 minutes later with a glass of wine and left me to finish getting ready.
"Liv! Hurry up! The girls are here", Lucy shouted into my room just as I finished putting on my jewellery. I grabbed my now empty glass of wine and made my way to the kitchen. I noticed Matteo in the corner with a beer in hand and I had a feeling tonight was not going to end well.
"No me di cuenta de la invitación extendida a Williamson", I said towards the girls as Leah glanced at me with a smirk (Didn't realise the invitation extended to Williamson).
"Talking about me, De La Cruz?", Leah said tilting her head as I scowled at her.
"Todos somos amigos aquí, Liv", Mapi warned me as I rolled my eyes and took a drink of my wine (We're all friends here, Liv).
"Right, taxis are here, let's go", Beth said as we all piled out of the villa. I made sure to avoid the taxi that Leah was in but of course, Matteo grabbed onto my hand and pulled me into the first taxi which Leah happened to be sitting in. So now I was sat in between Matteo and Leah, fantastic.
"Have you made a decision yet?", Matteo drunkenly said to me which caught the attention of Katie, Lia, Steph, Ingrid, and Beth who was in the front seat. We had one too many in the taxi but we're all small enough to squeeze together in a 7 seater.
"Can we not do this here?", I sighed as he scoffed.
"I think I should know if my girlfriend is planning on leaving me", he said and I could smell the alcohol on his breath.
"Maybe you 2 should just talk in the morning yeah?", Ingrid suggested.
"I'm talking to her, not you", Matteo said angrily which made something snap inside of me.
"Don't fucking talk to her like that, she's my family and I won't have you talking to her like she's dirt on your shoe, we'll talk about this tomorrow", I snapped as he just turned his gaze to the window. I looked around and seen all the girls were looking at me which just pissed me off more.
"What?", I asked annoyed.
"Páralo", Ingrid lightly warned me as I leaned my head back against the head rest and closed my eyes (Stop it).
