CHAPTER 10 At 8 o'clock, me and Max came out of the restaurant. He was in a shirt and trousers. I was wearing a knee-length cream dress with a purple belt. As we walked down to the car everyone cheered again. We waved good bye and drove off. I leaned on Max's shoulder. He kissed me gently on the forehead. "So then are you ready for two weeks honeymoon in New Zealand?" Max question me. "Mm-hm." I replied. I could feel my eyes closing and soon I fell to sleep. When I awoke, I was lying on a soft bed in a room which had a wooden border and above that was a white painted wall. A gust of wind blew in from an open door that led out onto a balcony. I saw Max looking out across the ocean. "Hi." I whispered he turned round and smiled. "Hey!" he said grabbing my hand and pulling me in front of him. "It's beautiful!" I exclaimed, flipping my hair onto one shoulder. "Mm-hm!" he replied in agreement. "What time is it?" I asked "Um about twenty to nine Sunday and in England it's Saturday. So very confusing!" Max looked so puzzled that I burst out laughing. We went to bed and fell asleep. When I woke up I was startled by Max's eyes staring at me. I opened my mouth to say something, but couldn't think of anything to say, so I shut it again. "You're so beautiful!" he said, my eyes were mesmerised by his. I smiled and shuffled closer so that our chests were touching. He reached in and kissed me. My lips pressing against his. Together our eyes opened. Our lips parted. "So what do you want to do today?" I asked "Stay as close to you as possible." Max whispered, his breath was warm on my neck. "I'm serious." I said "I'm serious too!" he glanced straight into my eyes. I looked at him biting my lip. He pulled me in more, even though there was not much space between us anyway. His lips met mine. I could feel his breath on my face. His hand creeped round and stopped on my neck. I brushed my hand through his hair. Again and again. The next day we headed down to the beach because we heard there was gonna be some sort of fete. When we got there, the fete had already started. There were loads of mini stalls selling things like necklaces or small fragranced candles. As we walked through the bustling people we started to hear music. We soon saw a small group of people dancing. "Wow! They're good." I gasped "Were not stopping here!" Max said walking me round the dancers. "But you said we were going to the fete?" I said "This is the fete." "Cover story." he replied "I'm taking you somewhere private!" I sighed and followed him to wherever he was going. When we finally reached 'somewhere' Max said "Here we are." "'here we are where?" he didn't reply but only nodded his head in one direction. I slowly looked to where he was showing me to and then gasped. It was a bigger version of a pond. Sand traced the water all the way round. "Come on," Max whispered "We've got this all to ourselves." he stepped in and after awhile I did too. I rolled up my jeans and took my shoes and socks off. The water was warm and still. After a few hours of us being in the pool we went back to the house. Our honeymoon flew by and before we knew it we were back home. I had now moved all of my stuff into Max's house until we found a proper house to move into to. Every now and then I would see him in the laptop searching. Then one day he said as I walked in from my food shopping trip "I've found it!"
