"Hey Ash" Lauren said when she opened the door, her smile growing a little as she saw me. "Hey Sam"

"Hey Lauren" I replied with a smile before hugging her. She let us in and Ashton took my bag from me to put it away. "When is school starting again?"

"Tomorrow, which really sucks." She said with a sigh and I smiled at her very enthousiastic face for school, "Do you still go to school?"

"I do. But I got a little more time, I start again the 21st." I replied with a smile as I followed her outside where the other were.

"You're so lucky. What do you study?" She asked and I realised I never talked about what I do with her, we talked about music and what we liked, but never what we do.

"I'm in med school." I replied and she looked just a little excited about that.

"That's really cool, I wouldn't want to become a doctor but I still think it's a really cool job." She said with a happy smile.

"Hey Sam! You made it!" Harry said excited as he came up to me and hugged me too. "Oh and you're here too." He said with a grin before hugging his brother thightly.

"It's nice to see you again." Anne Marie said as she came up to me to give me a hug, "And my beautiful son." She said to Ashton before hugging him.

"Hey mom." He replied with a smile on his face.

"Hey, I'm Chris" He said to me as he got up and greeted me.

"I'm Sam, it's great to meet you."

"Pleasure is all mine." He said with a broad smile, "We still got to start making lunch so if you want to go in the pool before, you can."

"Do you want to play a game of volley ball? So I can have a rematch for the football game we lost." Harry asked with a hopefull face.

"Ofcourse, girls against boys?" Ashton asked as he looked at Lauren and I.

"We're going to beat your ass." Lauren said confidently. Ashton and I put up the net across the pool while they went to get changed. We were already wearing our swim gear underneath.

"Not having any regrets yet?" He asked when I was taking off my shorts.

"No, your family is great. Let's just not really tell them yet. I mean we've been on one date, maybe we need to figure it out ourselves first." I replied and he hestitated but still nodded.

"So I'll have to resist kissing you until we get back to the hotel?" He asked with a grin. Chris and his mom were inside and Lauren and Harry were getting changed so it was just us outside.

"Exactly." I replied with a smile before Harry ran past us and made a canon ball into the pool. I took off my shirt and got in the pool too right before Lauren came back outside

"Oh I love your bikini so much. Where did you get it?" She asked me after she jumped in at our side of the pool.

"I got it at home a couple of years ago, it doesn't have a tag anymore so I got no clue which brand it is." I said with a smile before getting a ball thrown at my face. I caught it right before it hit my face and shot a glare at Ashton who was laughing loudly. "Let's not try to kill eachother."

"It was not aimed for your face, I'd never try to hurt your pretty face." He said with a grin and I shot him another glare.

"Let's see who will laugh last." I said before we started the game.

Lauren turned out to be pretty good at it but Ashton's size was really helping him, when your arms are a little longer, it's much easier to catch difficult balls.
