Thank you Eliza!!!

On her way upstairs to change into her swimsuit as well, Alexia even considered to spend the rest of this lovely, sunny day upstairs in her room.

After last night's conversation with Erin, and the fact that the blonde kept blocking all of her attempts to build up a conversation, she felt as if her hands were tied.

There was so much she wanted to say.

So many unspoken words that, after all these years, she'd almost forgotten. But those 5 minutes of interaction last night were enough to evoke all those suppressed thoughts inside Alexia's head.

They were so real. So alive.

Much more alive than Alexia's body felt in that moment.

After the alcohol, which had at least helped her to fall asleep on the couch last night, she felt miserable. By the time she finally arrived at her bedroom, the urge to throw up had overtaken the captain.

How embarrassing.

Maybe she should've taken some lessons from Martha before drinking a whole bottle by herself. But she probably wouldn't have been able to keep up with the skilled therapist, anyway.

"No more booze for the rest of the week, Ale", the brunette mumbles to herself as she tiredly rubs her eyes, before examining her reflection in the mirror.

Damn, was she pale.

Her eyes were red and sleepy. Her lips dry. Hair disheveled. She quickly gets rid of the tank top and shorts, before heading for the shower without further ado, in an attempt to wash away part of the bad feeling.

Perhaps the shower will help her get rid of the hangover.

Meanwhile, Erin settled into one of the sun loungers beside the pool. And to say that the tickling sensation of the sun against her skin felt like a dream, was an understatement.

She'd been waiting for this vacation for so long.

Although things turned out a little different than planned so far. But after last night, and especially after the fabulous morning spent with Misa, Erin had no doubt that she would be able enjoy the next few days.

She would certainly succeed in banishing Alexia from her mind.

All she needed to do was avoid her. But this was a challenge. A major challenge. Sort of the final boss.

"How about I apply some sunscreen on your back, cariño? Your skin is so pale... otherwise you'll get sunburned in a minute", Misa suggests after placing the sunglasses on her head, reaching for the sunscreen she'd purchased especially for Erin last week.

"Hmm... you're probably right, this might be beneficial. Hopefully I'll get a little tan over the next couple of days. I'm kinda jealous that Spanish women are always perfectly tanned", the blonde mumbles with a smile, rolling over onto her stomach after shifting sideways, giving Misa just enough space to sit beside her.

"Yeah... or maybe you just need to spend more time outside", María hums with a chuckle, and spreads the sunscreen on Erin's back, without missing a single spot.

Erin turned her head to the side, just a little, her eyes covered by sunglasses, as she allowed her gaze to wander across the patio, where she spotted Martha and Patri together in the water, while Leila relaxed on the edge of the pool, her legs dangling into the cool water.

She was relaxing under her girlfriend's gentle caress, inhaling and exhaling steadily, when another person joined them outside.

Alexia.
