Rose smiled as she sipped a fruity alcoholic drink. She dug her toes in the white sand and reveled in the sensation. She watched the lapping waves in the bluest waters she had ever seen. She put her book to the side, reclined on her beach towel, and closed her eyes. She smiled to herself.

This was the first time in months that she actually let herself relax. Rose couldn't remember when it happened exactly but she was finally completely over Logan. While she knew she totally messed things up with Scorpius, she could not deny how happy she was to be letting go of the pain and heartache she'd been harboring for months. She knew she would have to talk to Scorpius eventually. She would have to fix their relationship or friendship (whatever it is now) somehow. It was the third day of her vacation and his unopened letter sat in a desk drawer in her hotel room. For now, however, she would let herself be content. She took another sip of her fruity concoction and breathed deeply.

As she continued to play with her feet in the sand, she heard a voice. "You made me travel all the way to Costa Rica to track you down," she heard a deep voice tease.

Rose's eyes shot open as she felt her face warming. She looked up to see Scorpius standing over her. His white t-shirt was off and draped over one of his broad shoulders revealing his god-like muscular abs and arms. He was dressed in khaki shorts with no shoes. And of course, he wore that stupid sexy smirk on his face while unabashedly appraising Rose's body in her red skimpy bikini.

Rose swallowed hard and laughed nervously as she asked the first question that came to mind. "How did you find me?"

"I'm a really good auror. Of course I found you," he answered smugly.

Rose shot him a disbelievingly look. Scorpius shrugged in response. "I agreed to get Lily a date with the lead singer of Wacky Wasted Wizards. One of my dad's companies manages them so I know him." He rolled his eyes. "Lily has been asking me for an introduction since her birthday."

Rose gave him a shy smile. "I thought you didn't like using your name to get favors."

"Desperate times call for desperate measures," he answered as his eyes bore into Rose's blue ones. Her stomach dropped as she tried to find something other than his grey eyes to focus on. "You see," he continued, "this incredible and beautiful woman that I was having such a wonderful time with ran away from me a couple of days ago without telling me where she was headed and when she was coming back. She also won't respond to my letter."

Rose felt her face warming even more. She took a deep breath and stared at a freckle on one of her legs. I guess now is the time to repair our friendship, she thought to herself. "Look Scorpius, I'm really sorry. I basically ruined our friendship because I couldn't follow the rules and now…"

"Rose, fuck the rules."

She finally looked up at him surprised at his harsh tone. As her eyes met his stormy grey eyes, she felt her stomach fill with hundreds of butterflies. He smiled at her, kneeled beside her, and held her hand. "Rose, I love you too," he stated slowly and with a grin on his face.

Rose's jaw dropped as she took a moment to understand the words that she just heard. After a second or two, she tackled Scorpius in the sand and crushed her lips against his. It had only been three days but she desperately missed having his strong arms wrapped around her waist. After awhile, she broke the kiss to ask, "Seriously?"

"Seriously," he responded. He tucked a stray piece of her hair behind her ear and looked into her eyes. "I've been such an oblivious idiot for so long. I've dated a lot of girls but nothing even remotely compares to how you make me feel. You're the thing I'm always thinking about. In the morning, in the afternoon, at night, and I dream about you too. I'm just sorry it took me so long to realize how perfect you are for me. I'm sorry I wasn't brave enough to tell you how much I've fallen for you when I finally realized it. I've fallen for you hard, Rose Weasley. I love you."

She smiled and leaned forward to kiss him again. He held her arms gently stopping her. "But can we take this show to your hotel room? Shagging on the beach is really not comfortable at all contrary to popular belief. The sand gets everywhere and my skin is sensitive so I burn all over…"

"Please. Stop. My heart can't handle how romantic you are being," Rose responded in a deadpan tone.

He smirked as he stood up, he then lifted and hauled her over his shoulder as she giggled heavily. He carried her toward a bungalow on the beach and whispered seductively, "I'll show you romantic."

Scorpius woke up squinting as his eyes were assaulted by rays from the bright sun coming through a bay window. He inhaled deeply and smiled as he caught the familiar smell of vanilla shampoo. Rose stirred as Scorpius gently caressed her bare back.

She lifted her head from his chest, looked up at him, and grinned. "Good morning," she whispered.

"Good morning, I love you," Scorpius answered.

Rose grinned wider. "I love you, too," she replied.

He kissed her on her forehead before stating, "I forgot to ask you something very important yesterday."

"Oh?" Rose asked genuinely curious.

"Yup, we got a little distracted," he responded while wiggling his eyebrows and cupping her bare arse.

Rose rolled her eyes. "What is it?"

"Well, I heard that one of us wasn't sure if we were exclusive or not." Rose blushed deeply as he continued, "so I thought we should clear that up. Will you be my girlfriend?"

Rose smiled broadly as shivers ran down her spine. She giggled and nodded her head. She pulled him toward her and crushed her lips against his. She ran her hands against his chest making her way down his muscular torso. She parted her lips and gently took his bottom lip in between her teeth as her hands moved lower toward his manliness.

She frowned as Scorpius gently grabbed her hands and pulled away. Rose watched him confusingly as he took deep breaths. He flopped his head on a pillow and stared at the ceiling.

"So, what do you want to do today?" he asked her while still staring at the ceiling.

Rose sat up and stared down at him even more confused. "You, which I was doing before I was so rudely interrupted," she responded while raising an eyebrow.

"Well now that we are official, I figure that we should do this right."

Rose stared at him incredulously. "Not sure about you, but to me having sex with you feels pretty right."

He laughed. "No, I mean, your 30-day rule."

"Oh."

He glanced at her bare chest before meeting her eyes. "It will be difficult but you're worth it to me, so we can take it slow. I want to respect your one month of continuous dating before sex rule," he stated confidently.

Rose stared back at him and smirked. "Well, that's sweet."

Scorpius gave her a quick peck on the lips while sitting up. "What do you want to do today? We should get dressed."

Rose pushed him back down on the bed and straddled him. He grunted. "Rose, you aren't helping this whole taking it slow thing," he protested with a growl.

She smirked at him while swirling her hips. "I said 'that's sweet', I never said I agree to taking it slow."

Scorpius moaned while reveling in the sensation of her body moving against his. "Mmmm... but what about your rule?" he asked breathlessly.

He quietly gasped as she reached down and stroked his member.

"Scorpius, fuck the rules," she whispered before sinking onto him.

A/N: Oh my goodness! I still can't believe I posted the first chapter and actually finished this fic! I started it at one of the most inopportune times in my life (in terms of having time to write it) but it has been such a cathartic experience for me so I'm glad that I did.

1. I want to thank every single one of you who has read, followed, and favorited! I especially want to thank those who reviewed! Some of you reviewed multiple chapters! I'm not sure I would have continued this without your suggestions and encouragements! I personally will be reviewing A LOT more fics after experiencing firsthand how amazing and gratifying getting a new review is!

2. Shameless (or shameful) plug for my new other fic: I've written one chapter of "The Real Rose Weasley"- a completely different ScorRose placing them at Hogwarts. This one is probably going to be long and it's rated T. So check it out if you want and you are not completely tired of me!

3. I obviously want to know what you-all think about this chapter! So please tell me :). Let me know if you guys wanna see a sequel! I don't really have a plot in mind but I'm totally willing to hear your ideas for writing one! And of course let me know what you think about the whole fic now that it's complete!

Thanks again!
