Lewis was happier than he’d been in long time. He didn’t want today to end. He could sit and listen to Rachel talk for the next thousand years. She wasn’t just pretty, she was interesting and thoughtful and funny. It just kept getting better and better. This made his heart ache all the more.

Every now and then she would censor what she was saying so it wouldn’t spoil the plot for Lewis. Whenever this happened, Rachel would put her hand to her lips, as if to stop the words from escaping. Lewis found it unbelievably cute. He watched her every movement and memorised every feature of her face.

He noticed that every so often, while she paused for thought, her rose petal mouth would flair out into an enticing pout. Lewis wanted to lean over and fit his lips around hers. But he knew this would be a mistake and would drive her away in an instant. Knowing this didn’t make the temptation any easier to bear. He now knew how Edward felt in Twilight - wanting Bella but being frightened to get too close in case he bit her. Obviously planting in a kiss on Rachel’s mouth wasn’t the same, but it took all of his will power to resist her. He had to be patient.

As the two sat engrossed in conversation, three girls with not much on apart from a pair of roller blades skated towards them. They stopped in front of Rachel and Lewis.

‘Lewis, is that you?’ said one of the girls. She had the typical Sandbanks look: blonde hair, posh accent and breasts spilling out of her top. Lewis looked up, slightly puzzled.

‘Er, yeah. Sorry, do I know you?’ he said.

‘Yes you do, I’m Sophie.’

‘Hi, Sophie,’ he said, and tried to go back to his conversation with Rachel.

Sophie interrupted: ‘You still don’t remember me do you?’

‘No, sorry I don’t.’ Lewis noticed Sophie’s two friends looking Rachel up and down, as if gauging how much of a threat she was. He felt protective over her and wanted to tell her she was just as good as they were. No, they weren’t even in the same league as Rachel.

‘This is the guy I was telling you about,’ Sophie said to her friends.

They sniggered and looked at each other.

‘Sorry, what’s so funny?’ asked Lewis.

‘A few weeks ago we spent the night in your garden, remember?’ said Sophie.

‘Oh. Yeah, I remember,’ Lewis said, looking down at the floor. The memory sent a hot spike of embarrassment straight into his brain.

‘You did a disappearing act in the morning,’ said Sophie. Then she looked at Rachel. ‘Has he done that to you yet, sweetie?’

Rachel said nothing.

‘I’m really sorry about that,’ Lewis replied.

‘You really are a naughty boy, Lewis, but I forgive you.’

‘Sorry, that was a terrible thing to do,’ Lewis replied. He was desperate for this conversation to end. ‘I don’t usually do that sort of thing.’

‘That’s not what I’ve heard.’ Sophie made no attempt to hide her flirtatious tone.

‘Yeah, well I’m trying to change.
