Torn Between The Two

"Girl this bag is so fucking heavy!" Farrah complained as she lifted it into her car trunk.

We were preparing to head to the airport.
We got everything we would need and even unnecessary things that might just come in handy.

We pulled up into the parking lot and got our stuff out.
We quickly made our way into the airport to check in.
Within 10 minutes we were boarded and waiting for the 5 hrs flight.

"Oh this is nice!" I looked around the room of the resort we'd be staying at.
It was definitely a site to see.
From our room we could see the body of water that surrounded the resort.
We both decided we'd sleep since it was night when we got here and start our day tomorrow.

"Mena it's time to get up" I groaned as I felt Farrah tapping me.
"What time is it?" I asked groggily.
"Eleven" I rolled over and stared up at the ceiling.
The rest was well worth it.
I got out of bed and decided to get my day started.
Firstly, I brushed my teeth then washed my face.
I took a shower right after.
After getting out, I slipped on my robe and joined Farrah on the bed.
She was on the phone ordering room service.
"What do you want for breakfast?" She asked.
"Some French toast, scrambled eggs, bacon and apple juice"
Farrah recited that to the receptionist.
"What are we going to do today?" I asked as I laid my head in her lap.
"Let's try surfing"
I scrunched you my face.
"Really Farrah? Out of all the things you wanna try surfing?"
She laughed.
"It's different! We could do that today then tomorrow we can go scuba diving and to close off the following day we can go to the yacht party they told us about"
I thought for a moment. It didn't sound like a bad idea at all.
"Okay fine"
Just then there was a knock at the door.
I hopped up to open the door.
"Good morning" I greeted the young man.
"Good morning" he smiled.
I led him to the balcony, where we would be enjoying the view as we ate.
He sat our breakfast on the table.
"Do enjoy"
"Thank you"
We took our seats on the chairs and dug in right away.
"These eggs are sooo good" I moaned as I put another forkful of the eggs into my mouth.
I bite a piece of bacon and just enjoyed the taste in my mouth, slowly dancing to the music that was playing at the bar downstairs.
"You're such a foodie" Farrah laughed at my antics.
I shrugged my shoulders at her as I dived into the French toast.
I took a strawberry from Farrah's fruit bowl and ate it with my French toast.
"Don't get fucked up now" I laughed at her.

"So you're going to want to wait for a wave to come then to stand on the board"
"Remember you're controlling the board right along with the wave so don't allow it to control you or else you'll lose your balance and fall. Got it ladies?"
"Got it" we both said in unison with a thumbs up.
He chuckled.
We started moving out as we saw a wave coming.
Just as it reach, I got up. I tried to balance myself and move right along with the wave.
I looked back at Farrah who had missed the wave and before I knew it I had lost my balance and fell over.
The surf instructor clapped.
"Okay that was good for your first try. Now I want to pay attention to you since you missed it"
"We're going to do it together, alright?" Farrah nodded.
"Look at that big one coming. Let's start moving out"
We did as he said.
"Now on the count of three, we're going to stand"
"One"
"Two"
"Three! Stand ladies" we stood to our feet.
Once again I tried to control my balance as the waves moved us.
"I'm getting a hang of it!" I shouted to no one in particular.
"Ahhh!" I heard Farrah yelled next to me.
She had lost her balance and fell over.
After riding out the wave, I went out back to her.
"You good?" She glared at me.
"No I'm terrible at this" she pouted.
I chuckled.
"That's okay. Keep trying and you'll get better, okay?" She nodded.
"Let's relax for a bit, shall we?"
We just laid on our boards and enjoyed being at peace in the ocean.
