nice to see you again” I lied. “Brit is in the events hall with the
Party Planner tying up some last minute loose ends.” He didn’t introduce his
lady friend he just turned and whispered something to her and a huge smile
spread over her face as she pecked him on the cheek and left. I looked at Dan
and was a little disappointed to see his eyes follow her as she moved away.
Daddy Big Bucks seemed blissfully unaware that he was standing next to the man
he had stolen his newest play thing from, either that or he didn’t care.
“Daniel.
Nice to see you again, son.” Jonathan offered his hand for Dan to shake.
“You
too Jonathan” Dan shook his hand. The tension was palpable until Daddy Big Bucks
turned away. He went off in search for Brit, Dan and I showed the new arrivals
to their accommodation and headed for the beach. I found a spot and settled on
the sand, Dan sat behind me, his legs either side and his hands out behind him
taking his weight. I leaned back onto him and he kissed the top of my head.
“You
ok?” I asked him. “I guess that was quite a shock?” his head fell back and he
took a deep breath of warm ocean air.
“I
kind of expected it to be honest. I know now that I didn’t love her in the end.
You taught me that Ella” he sat up and wrapped his arms around me.
“I
taught you that?” I questioned him.
“Yeah,
when I met you I realised that I couldn’t have loved her. I knew when that guy
had you pinned in the bar that I would risk anything to keep you safe, I’d give
you anything to keep you happy, to keep you with me. I never felt like that for
her, you know? I’ve never felt like that before.” Wow, I had no idea his
feelings were so strong.
“I
don’t need anything from you to be happy, just you, I’m happy just like this.”
We sat like that for a while, not saying much, just holding each other. Any
worries about saying goodbye washed away when he said those words, I knew we
would carry on seeing each other, this was way more than a holiday romance.

Saturday 15 th June – Party Day
Hi Diary,
Well I guess I deserve the reality check that
came and kicked me in the teeth. I’ve been floating around in a daydream like
the world owed me a favour. Rachael shows up and I’m jolted back to life,
reminded that things aren’t all plain sailing. What the hell is she thinking
turning up here after she dumped him like that? How the hell could she leave
Dan for a dirty old git like Jonathan? I don’t class myself as perfect by any
stretch of the imagination but I could never be heartless and brazen enough to
do what she has done. Poor Dan looked shocked to the core even though he tried
to play it off like he had expected it. And me? Well, now I’m worried for all
kinds of reasons. What if seeing her again makes him realise he wants her back?
What if seeing her with someone else stirs jealousy and emotions he didn’t
think he still had? What if seeing him with someone else makes her realise how
stupid she’s been and come running back? What if…what if... I lose him? I can’t
bear to think about it. I know two things for certain. 1. It’s only been a week
but I am head over heels in love with him. 2. We’re in this together diary, you
and me. Whatever happens I’m going to need you to vent to. Got to go and
get ready, I’ll keep you posted. Wish me luck.

The day of the party
started out like a fairy tale. I woke up in Dan’s arms after a long hot night
of reassurance sex, he was trying to prove that I meant more to him than she
did and he did a really good job. We spent the day on the beach, walking,
talking and just spending time together until it was time for the spa
appointment Brit had booked to give us a quick once over before getting ready.
After
the spa we went back to Brits hut and Amber, Brit and I had a few glasses of
champagne while we got ready for the night ahead. The excitement was at its’
peak, we all had butterflies in our stomach
