Sorry I took so long, good or bad? Need to know how I'm doing
**
The next day while Lilly ate lunch, Scotty got dressed into a t-shirt and shorts. Once Lilly had finished eating, she changed into a summer dress.
Scotty guided her out onto the beach, grabbing a hold of her hand as they slowly walked.
“You come up with anymore names for the baby?” Scotty asked, watching tide.
“To tell you the truth, I like Brookelle. I wasn’t planned for this, and I really don’t know what to call her.”
“Don’t worry, it’ll come to you.”
Lilly smiled as she reached down to feel the sand. “You know we are going to need a bigger place.”
“Yeah, I realised that.”
Lilly stared at him intensely, Scotty turning his head to avoid her gaze.
“We have some money, but not enough to get a bigger place.”
Lilly nodded and dropped her gaze to the ground. Scotty instantly felt the mood change, and he felt the need to lighten it up.
“I could ask my parents to help, I’m sure they’d be willing.”
Lilly lifted her head and smiled him. “I can see if my dad and his family can help me.”
Scotty kissed her lightly and pulled her closer. “We’ll figure it out, I know we will.”

“Yeah it’s fun, and the weather’s amazing.”
Scotty came out of the bathroom from his shave, and listened as Lilly talked on the phone.
“No...we’re not doing it.”
A long pause and then a bit of the lip.
“Something bad happened.”
“I don’t want to talk about it. I thought boss might have told you.”
“Okay, well maybe I’ll tell you later, I need to go.”
Slowly she snapped the phone shut and pushed it under the pillow. Scotty quickly moved closer and grabbed the phone.
“I thought I told you no contact with anyone.”
“Sorry.”
“Lil...”
“I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay; I just wanted this vacation to be me and you only.”
Lilly lowered her head when Scotty stepped forward. He put his finger under her chin and lifted her head up.
“It’s okay, really, just try to forget everyone else. Just you and me.”
“I’m hungry.”
Scotty smiled and scanned the room for the phone. His eyes landed on it as he reached for it. “Order everything?”
“Yes.”
Scotty smiled and dialled room service. He gently ran his hands through her hair as she rested her head on his hips.

When room service arrived, Scotty placed everything on the table, leaving the choice to Lilly what she ate first. Scotty grabbed pieces of meat and salad then sat on the bed next to her.
Lilly rubbed his shoulders as he ate.
“You gonna eat too?”
“Yes, just want to cuddle you first.”
Scotty smiled as she hugged his back, moving her hands to his chest.
“I love you,” she whispered as he kissed hands.
“I love you too.”
“Good.”
“Good?”
“Didn’t know if you loved me anymore.”
“Give me one reason not to love you anymore.”
“’Cause of Rob.’
Scotty placed his food on the table then turned around in Lilly’s arms.
“Listen, what happened with Rob was not your fault.”
“But-“
“No buts! It will never be your fault. It’s me whose fault it is. If I was awake, I could have stopped him.”
Lilly started to cry as Scotty rubbed her cheeks.
“But it’s happened, and I can’t do anything...all I can do is try to make you forget and help you move on.”
Lilly crawled into Scotty’s arms and cried into his neck. Lilly felt him rubbing her back and trying to calm her down.
She tried to push away the tears, but the more she tried, the stronger they became.
“Lil, I love you, and I promise you were gonna get through this.”
“I hate myself.”
“Why?”
“’Cause...he hurt me.”
“That’s no reason to hate yourself. You’re still gorgeous, still amazing, still the same person as you were before. You’re more fragile, and more hurt, but that’s why I’m here, to help you get through that.”
“Don’t leave me.”
“I’ll never leave you, ever!”
After a few hours, Lilly cries slowly died down and so did her breathing. Scotty checked to see if she was asleep, and when she was, he laid her down in the bed, then covered her up with the blanket. He kissed her lightly then moved to the bedroom.
He closed the door behind him, and then went straight to his suitcase.
One by one her placed candles around the room, and lit them all. He turned off the lights, and then did the same to the bathroom. He placed extra candles around the bath, making the bath centre of attention.
He slowly filled the bath with warm water, adding a bottle of bubble bath.
Once he was done, he changed into only a pair of boxers, and then went out into the living room to find Lilly.
She was still fast asleep, which made Scotty feel bad for having to wake her up.
“Lilly...”
“What?”
“I filled up a bath for us, wanna come join me.”
Lilly opened her eyes and slowly sat up. “Do I have to be naked?”
“Depends what you want.”
Scotty started to walked out the room, but stopped when he felt Lilly cling onto his back. He dragged her into the bathroom, her eyes lighting up at the sight from the bedroom to the bathroom.
“Wow.”
“You wanna wear your bathers?” Scotty asked, taking his boxers off.
Lilly shook her head nom, and ever so slowly, slipped out of her clothes. Scotty tried to keep himself from growing hard, but failed.
He helped her into the bath, and then sat behind her. She leaned back in his arms, instantly feeling his hardness.
“Sorry,” he whispered into her ears.
Lilly smiled and leaned back further. “That’s okay, just wanna relax.”
Scotty cleaned her down, taking extra time on places he was sure he wouldn’t be able to touch in the next few weeks.
Lilly giggled each time his hands tickled her body, not letting her body take over.
It continued for hours until the water went cold and the two climbed out.
