After winning football tickets for the Euro 2020 semi final, you felt you'd had all the luck you were ever going to get, until after the game, when you meet the players, your life begins to go in a whole new direction...
It felt like only 5 minutes from the time my head hit the pillow and I went to sleep to the time my alarm went off at 7:30am. For once, Jack was still in bed next to me asleep, I stared at him as he slept for what felt like the longest time, unable to believe where I was, and that he was mine.
I swung my legs out of the bed trying to be as quiet as I could, and slipped on one of Jack's T shirts from his drawer, not wanting to unzip my suitcase for fear of waking him up.
I made my way into the kitchen and put the coffee machine on and had a look around the cupboards and fridge for something to make Jack for breakfast. I settled on bacon sandwiches and a hot cup of tea for Jack and a really strong coffee for me.
I clattered around in the cupboards as quietly as I could, getting pans out to cook with and mugs out for our drinks, obviously not quietly enough, as Jack appeared in the kitchen in front me in his boxers, stretching, before making his way to sit down at the island and rubbing his eyes.
"Well, aren't you a sight for sore eyes my gorgeous girl" he said, yawning, clearly he felt as tired as I did. I made my way around the island to give him a kiss and gave his messy hair a ruffle
"You're gonna have to do something with that today" I said "Imagine the headlines tomorrow if the paps get a picture of you looking like that" I chuckled, walking away as Jack playfully slapped my bum through his T shirt.
"Don't youse worry about my hair" he said "I've got my routine and it'll look mint by the time I've finished"
"I don't doubt it" I giggled.
We finished off our breakfast together and headed into the bedroom to get ready. I put on my new orange Balenciaga bikini that I'd bought the other day, and some pale blue cut off denim shorts, Jack opted for his turquoise Gucci shorts and a white t shirt.

The boat was due to depart at 9am, and it was 8:40am so we grabbed the bits we would need for the day, and locking the door behind us, headed up the hill to call in for Jess and Ben on the way. There was no answer at their villa, so Jack gave Ben a call.
"Mate, where are you?" he asked
"We're down on the dock bro" Ben replied "we went for breakfast in the village first and headed straight here afterwards. Erm, not to put a dampener on the day or anything, but Taylor is here, looks like she's coming on the boat trip" Ben added, sheepishly.
"You what?" said Jack "Is she having a fucking laugh?"
I couldn't hear what Ben was saying to Jack but he didn't look happy.
Jack finished his call with Ben and turned to me.
"Babe, bad news, Taylor is on the dock, looks like she's gonna be on the boat trip with us today" he said, looking glum.
"Seriously?" I said, looking more shocked than anything else "Did you know she was gonna come?" I asked Jack, trying not to get annoyed with him.
"Well, I knew she'd put her name down to come when we booked it the other day" he said "But after last night I just assumed she wouldn't have the cheek to show her face, seems I was wrong" he added
