Finally, spring break has come. The weather is perfect for a vacation. It's also good for a romantic date.

I run to the garden of the university where most of my friends are sitting and especially Lydia and Enzo. I clap my hands twice to catch everyone's attention, but as I look at the tree five meters away, I notice that Enzo didn't hear me because of his earphones. Steve picks a little rock and hits him with it as long as calling his name didn't work. Enzo takes off one of his earphones and shakes his head in question, so I invite him to join us.

"As long as spring break has come, let's go on a vacation together". I suggest smiling when Enzo sits right behind Lydia.

I look at their faces one by one, but no one ever reacts to my idea, except Steve who is just supporting the girl he loves.

"I'll pay for it". I shout out.

Everyone takes their heads off their phones and starts cheering for my offer. I knew they would like it when I tell them that I'll be the one who'll pay for everything, I mean who would ever refuse something free? 

I pass my phone to them so they can write their names down to make sure of the number of people who can go. As Agnes takes the phone to write her name, Enzo starts pulling himself out of the crowd. I send a hint to Steve to stop Enzo from leaving.

"I can't go". Enzo says, thinking that I was asking for everyone's permission to count them in this vacation.

"I won't accept a "No" from you Mr. depressed introverted guy who hates everyone". I refuse whatever the excuse that will come out of his mouth because I know he's just looking for a stupid pretext, so he doesn't stay with Lydia and Carl in the same place.

I didn't give Enzo a chance to refuse joining us on the vacation, I even wrote his name myself. 

"Aren't you being extra friendly?". Steve questions my plan after counting Cynthia on this vacation too.

I don't care because I'm doing this for Lily. I'll do anything for her happiness, even if it means that I must team up with my enemy, I'll do it.

"So, this is how your plan starts.... To get Enzo and Lydia together?". 

"Exactly".

"So, we don't like Carl?". He asks.

"We don't like him". I confirm.

I don't like Carl, I don't like seeing him with Lydia, I don't like their relationship and I don't like Lydia's plan. She must be dating Enzo, not that drum guy. if Enzo won't do anything about him, I'm gonna do it on his behalf.

I booked a cabin rental in a beautiful place in the woods. After a long stressing semester, a vacation in nature is the best way to relax.

The cabin contains five rooms with double beds. The organizer must have read our names and counted us, thinking that we're all coupled up. Lydia and Carl chose a room with a terrace. Agnes and Philips took the room with the lake view. My class's famous couple Rachel and Tony ran to the isolated one on the first floor. Enzo and Steve decided to be roommates here too and they chose the room next to the kitchen, it was Steve's choice so it can be easy for him to get a late-night snack.

The room that is left for me is the one with the biggest wardrobe which I'll have it all for myself and I'll sleep comfortably on that big bed. This is heaven, this is what you get when you are single.

Suddenly, the door opens as I'm settling in the room, so I turn my head to see my guest. Please God let it be Steve, let it be Steve. I want to turn my head and find him standing by the door, then he shuts it behind him and as he checks me up, I run towards him and jump into his arms locking my legs around his waist and kissing him intensely.
