I woke up to the sound of rustling, there was a faint clang of glasses. I shifted in bed as memories of last night came back to me. Looking over I saw Zack was already up and his side of the bed lay empty. I smiled still warm from my thoughts as I got up carefully, making a discreet exit to the bathroom. Once inside I replayed the night over and over as the warm water ran over me. Eventually I stepped out of the shower and put on a pair of khaki trousers and and a long sleeved beige top. Walking into the bedroom I saw Zack with a slice of toast hanging out of his mouth while he texted furiously on his phone. As soon as he saw me approach he pushed the phone into the back pocket of his jeans and swallowed the bite of toast.

'Morning' he smiled but I noticed how it never fully reached his eyes
'Is everything alright?' I questioned
For a moment his expression faltered but just as quickly he straightened up and smiled again this time bigger but not less fake.
'Yea why wouldn't it be' he came to stand before me and held my hands up to his lips. He was hiding something from me I could tell but the kiss worked. As soon as his lips touched the back of my hands I forgot my own name.

'Come I ordered breakfast, what would you like to do today?' He led me over to the coffee table by the sofa which was laden with a plethora of breakfast items. There was toast, croissants, about 20 different kinds of spread and fruits, tea and juices of every colour.
A small smirk began to play on my lips as I thought about what I would like to do ALL day and it didn't have anything to do with food.
'What did you have in mind?' I said clearing my throat and returning to my senses.

Zack's P.O.V

She sat to eat breakfast whilst I phoned down to book us a tour of the local caves, they were supposed to be a romantic hotspot. I was excited to spend time with her despite the messages from home, Zainab was filling me in on the drama. Mum had apparently contested the marriage and when that didn't work she had now applied for custody of Zainab. My head felt like it was going to explode thinking about what to do but dad had rang first thing and told me to just stay out of the way for a few days so I tried to calm myself and enjoy this little bit of happiness that had come my way.

'Right everything's booked, let's grab some jackets and a rucksack and we can go' I smiled at Maya genuinely glad that I was here with her.
