Rosalie:He chased after me and kissed me in the pouring rain. It wasThe Notebookmoment of my dreams!

Sienna:STOP IT RIGHT NOW *melting face emoji*
Bridgette:*gif of a woman fainting*
Charlotte:Okay, I guess I can forgive you for waiting over a day to tell us…because if your kiss was anything like Allie and Noah’s, it probably has taken you a whole day to recover from your melted state!
Rosalie:It really has! I can’t stop thinking about him.
Charlotte:That’s a good thing!!
Sienna:Are you finally ready to admit that you’re in loooove?
Rosalie:Yes, you’ve been right all along. Are you happy?
Bridgette:Extremely.
Sienna:Yes!
Charlotte:I’m so excited for you!
Rosalie:Colin planned a date for us this afternoon!
Rosalie:I’m gonna try to have a DTR talk with him. Wish me luck!
Bridgette:Ah, the good old defining of the relationship. You don’t need any luck. You’ve got this!
Sienna:Good luck, Ro!
Charlotte:Go get your man!
The sky was a brilliant blue, and the sun’s rays were beaming down on her as a palace guard drove her down to the water on a golf cart.
As Rosalie approached the docks, she spotted Colin. Even from a distance, she could see how devastatingly handsome he was in an unbuttoned white linen shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows and a pair of emerald-green swim trunks that perfectly matched the swimsuit he had gifted her.
When she reached him, her eyes roamed from his face down to his—holy abs. Her husband had been hiding some secret muscles underneath all his button-down shirts. Rosalie moved her eyes back up to his face and found him smirking at her.
“Do you like what you see?”
“I definitely like what I see.” She winked at him.
He merely stared at her, likely shocked speechless at her forward words.
“Sooo, what are we doing?” Rosalie looked around, only seeing a few large boats.
He shook his head and blinked a few times. “I thought today would be a beautiful day to go out on a boat.” Colin gestured to the ginormous luxury yacht beside him.
She wrapped her arms through his and smiled up at him. “Sounds like the perfect date.”
He helped her step onto the boat, and a steward gave them a quick tour. They decided to stay on the top floor, what the steward called the bunny pad. It was an area at the very front of the boat covered in comfortable cushions where they could relax and take in the perfect view of the ocean in front of them.
Rosalie shimmied out of the sarong and kicked off her sandals, settling down onto one of the soft cushions. When she turned to ask Colin how often he got out on the boat, she found him staring at her.
She blocked the sun in her eyes with one hand while she propped herself on her other elbow. “Do you like what you see?” She bobbed her head back and forth, repeating his own question to him.
He stepped closer to her, and she watched his Adam’s apple bob as he swallowed hard. “I’m thinking I should’ve bought you a potato sack to wear instead.”
