"I cannot believe that Jack and I are going to Bora Bora this weekend! I have saved for a trip like this since I was 11. Jack is in flying at noon and then on Friday we will leave. AHHHHH I'm so excited" I spilled to Dannie, through the computer, while making myself look decent with makeup.
"I'm surprised you can afford this, Valerie. With all do respect." Dannie laughed through the grainy screen.
"Yeah I was surprised when Jack brought it up because I was scared that I wouldn't be able to go. But I told him and he told me he can pay for the amount that I can't." I smiled telling her about how amazing, funny, adorable, wonderful boyfriend.
She babbled on about how she wished she had a boyfriend like Jack, but frankly I was zoned out thinking about the Devil himself. I was scared about just us, being alone with him, all the way in a foreign place.
I was nervous no doubt but, I had never done something like this in my whole life. I don't want to mess up anything.
"Valerie!" A deep voice yelled from across the house.
He must be here, I thought as I snapped out if my worries. And put on a my happy face as I said goodbye to Dannie and opened the door revealing a very eager looking Jack.

"Say goodbye to your old dump and say hel-"
"Hey! Excuse me but, I liked our apartment" I defended hitting Jack and opening the door.
I dropped my bags and slowly walked around the "suite" dragging my dumbfounded jaw behind me. It was a disaster.
There was one twin sized bed, an old phone, and a lamp with a twitching light. The bathroom seemed the worst out of it all. There was no door, no sink, just a grubby toilet and some dusty looking toilet paper.
"What the hell?" I asked wondering why I needed more than my college savings for a horrible place like this.
°°°°°°°°
I woke in my chair and bolted up, examining my surroundings. I was not in my bed, I was on a plane. Jack woke up suddenly giving me a sleepy look.
"Are you sure that this place is the real deal? Like its just like the pictures?" I asked, my dream passing my mind as wrinkles on my forehead form.
"Yes I'm sure. Why so tight?" he asked smirking, and moving in his chair and accidently kicking the person in front of us.
"I'm not being tight. Just making sure everything is good." I say relaxing and placing my head on his shoulder.
He's right I just need to relax, if the hotel is a piece if shit. It will be okay, we can just go to another place.
Relax.

I step off the stairs and head toward baggage claim with Jack behind me looking like a tired, lost puppy. I snicker to myself as I look for my bright orange suitcase I brought, mainly because it would be easy to find.
"You're so smart, Valarie."
"You are" Jack says giving me a goofy smile.
"I said that outloud didn't I?" I ask mentally slapping myself.
He nods grabbing his stuff an ushering me towards the door.
Jack and I walk outside, looking for a bus to catch. After a couple minutes of waiting on a nearby bench, I finally waved one down.
If you want good work done, you gotta do it yourself.
It was very weird getting on the bus because it had no windows, no door, and it wasn't a fancy bus with locked wifi. The bus was painted with practically the whole rainbow. Many different kinda of people were hanging on the sides, standing in the aisle, sitting on every single place possible. Making it very difficult to walk and find a seat exspessially with suitcases.
Luckily, the people in Bora Bora were very kind and helped us. We thanked the men that helped us through and found an empty seat way in the back.
Most of the people got out and a camp, it looked like they were building something. After a few more stops, the bus pulled up to a dead end. We got out along with some others, at the end of the road was an airport. It was quite small and there where barely any cars in the sand covered parking lot.
The whole process getting on the helicopter was shorter than the marriage between my parents, and they barely made it through the engagement without counseling.
Damn, that was short.
When Jack and I got off the helicopter I think I drooled over the view. It was absolutely gorgeous. I took my phone out and snapped some picture to show my mum when we got .

As soon as we got settled into our hotel we headed straight to the watermark. We rode so many rides not even my fingers and toes could count them.
We rode the POSEIDON'S WATER RAGE, DROP DEAD, 5 SECOND RUSH, JOKER SWING, WATER TOILET, ZERO GRAVITY, and many many more.
By the time Jack and I got through the foreign people and back into the hotel we were both equally pooped. But, that didnt mean that Jack wasent in the mood. His sex appeal was bouncing off the walls. It basically is 24/7 if you ask me.
"Fuck."
"What? What's wrong?"
"You. Yo-" he pauses, running a hand through his hair.
"Have you ever had sex before?"
"What the hell Jack? Why"
"Will you just answer?"
"Yes I have."
"Really?"
"Is that hard to believe?" I ask, taken back by his astonishment.
"Well no, its just we've been dating for a while and I just thought well.."
I begin soft. So soft I can't hear myself.
"What?"
"I can't have sex. I can't have children." I say a little not louder.
He didnt say anything. He didnt have to. I knew exactly what he way thinking.
How can we have a family?
How can we have children?
We can't.
Marriage and children have come up but, I've shut down because I didn't know how to tell him. I thought he would be angry because I never told him, but he didn't.
And I was forever thankful he didn't say anything, because I didnt know what to say.
It was quiet for awhile, just silence. I didnt mind though; I actually liked it. I read a couple chapters in my book, sneaking glances at Jack every now and then.
After a while he moved, he stood up looked at me and said,
"Who the hel l cares that you can't have children, I sure dont. This is the 21st century; a robot could have my baby! There are plenty of options, and dumping you is not one."
I smile.
