Later that evening//Chris' POV

Everyone's having fun and people keep asking me how excited I must be, getting the role of Captain America and all. Marvel officially announced the cast on social media earlier this evening so it's no secret anymore.

Leaning against the beach hut balcony overlooking the sea, sipping on my beer, the water glistens under the moon shining as its white reflection stretches across the sea.

Oddly, it reminds me of her. The way the moon calmly sits above the sea, glowing. The serenity and peacefulness. The waves bouncing up and down slightly just like her naturally wavy hair does. It all reminds me of her. I hadn't realised until now how much I've taken in of her. Her hair. Her eyes. Her smile. All this time I'd been falling for her and i hadn't even realised. I mean I know I liked her, but not fallen for her. Now I know I've lost her. Before I even had her.

Sapphires POV

I'm talking to Josh and I like him, but not like that. His desperation is almost obvious. The flirting, the constant remarks and the hints. I'm really running out of ways to politely reject him. I seriously need a reason to run off. Please. Anything.

I put my glass down on the beach hut bar when I notice Chris at the balcony. By himself. What happened to the red head eh?

"Sorry to leave you hanging Josh but I really need to go to the bathroom."

He looks at me skeptically."Really? That's the third time tonight."

I laugh as I walk away "well you know, might have had a few too many drinks I guess." Which was a total lie, I've only had one.

I walk over to Chris who looks deep in thought.

"For someone who the party is all about, you don't seem to be having much fun." I say whilst leaning against the balcony rail. I expected him to reply with some sort of bitterness in his voice. After all what I did coming here dressed like this, winking at the guys just to make him jealous wasn't nice, and every second I did it, I felt awful.

He sighs with a sadness I've not seen in him before, "just thinking about how I drove away someone I care about."

"Oh. Trouble in paradise?"

He looks at me confused.

"I meant Sarah. I've not seen her around since the volleyball game."

He chuckles ever so slightly "no not Sarah... you." He stares me dead in the eye.

"I think you've had too much to drink Chris."

"No I haven't and I know what I'm saying. It's you. I drove you away and I hate myself for it. I shouldn't have done what I did at my house with Sarah. I shouldn't have tried to make you jealous. I'm sorry."

I stare at him gobsmacked for a second as he spills out everything he's feeling in that moment. "Well it worked."

He looks at me surprised.

"I was jealous when I saw you with her." I admit. "And I'm sorry too. For trying to get my own by coming here dressed like this, winking at the guys who wolf whistled. Wow it all sounds so stupid when I say it aloud." I chuckle at the end.

There's a few seconds of silence before Chris looks at me "well if anything, I think you look great."

"Thank you. But it's not really me."

He nods slightly and I have an idea.

"You know this is usually the part where the person on the wrong end makes it up to the other person... but since we're both in the wrong I think I know how we can make it up to each other."

"How?"

"Nandos."
