I stood in the center of my bedroom, suitcase open on the bed in front of me. I was packing for my vacation, and I wanted to make sure I had everything I needed. I began to methodically pack my clothes, folding each item carefully and placing it in the suitcase. As I worked, I thought about all the things I was looking forward to on the trip. The warm weather, the beautiful scenery, and the chance to relax and recharge. I was almost ready to go, just a few last-minute items to pack. I smiled as she imagined herself lying on the beach, soaking up the sun.
There was a light knock on the door,“Sweetheart”,.
“Come in, mom”.
Mom grins at me and walks over to my closet, she does that everytime.
“Please darling, this vacation can be a good time for you to meet up with people, I don't want you thinking about…., What's that ex of yours?”.
“Mom, his name isn't important right now”.
“And most of all”.She pauses, “This vacation should be able to mend your relationship with your
brother, I don't want you both fighting about anything while we are there”.
I frowned, “Not now mom”.
“Come down for breakfast, your brother will be here soon”.
As soon as mom left the room, I picked up my earpod and plucked it into my ears, closing my eyes deeply and singing the song affectionately.
“......sa….. where…i..the ... .ba…..the ... .r…..m”.
I tried ignoring the noise but it grew louder.
“Where is the bathroom?”.I turned to find Hilly, red with anger.
“Go ask the servant”.I say.
“Of course, you are that servant”.
“You're just a spoiled bitch”.
“No one's as bitchy as you darling”.Hilly smiles.
“You are….”.I heard the sound of Peter's voice.
“Hilly!!!!, Sweetheart!!”.
“Ohhh look, your master is here for you”,I paused, “Puppy”.
I could see her face turn red but I didn't let it get to me.Peter pulled her into his hands and then turns to
me, “Did you do anything?”.
We both stared at ourselves with hatred.
“No, we just had a friendly talk" .I grinned.
I watched as they both headed for the bathroom.
I pulled my heavy bags towards the car when someone snatched it from me.
“I was told to help with your bags, princess”. Jacob says.
“Well, what you don't know is that I don't need your fucking help”.
“I don't follow your rules”.
“And you shouldn't follow dad's or mom's”.
“What's this stinking out of your bag”. Jacob interrupted, staring intensely at something stinking out of my bag.
“Just leave it there”,I stretched my eyes to get a closer look at it, and it appeared to be my panties, “Oh no" .I reached out to it and tucked it inside as fast as I could.
“Next time, you shouldn't show the world such”.Jacob says making me bend my head in embarrassment.Mom and dad rushed out of the house and headed for the car.I made to open the car and get in when they stopped me.
“Hunny, we are driving in twos”.Mom smiles.
“Which means, Peter is driving with Hilly, your mom and I, so you are driving with Jacob”,Dad explains.
“This isn't what I signed up for”.
“Well you must get used to the fact that you both are now a family”,Dad whispers slowly.
“We should be leaving now dad!”.Peter called out.
I slipped into Jacob's car, who seemed to be oblivious of my existence.As the car speeds down the quiet, tree-lined street, the sun is just beginning to rise, casting a warm glow over the neighborhood. The streets are empty, except for the occasional jogger or dog walker. The car swerved around a corner, and then I caught a glimpse of a park on the left. The park is serene, with only the sound of birds chirping and leaves rustling in the breeze. The car keeps moving, but the image of the park lingers in my mind, a reminder of the
beauty of the world around them and the lovely
vacation.As the family arrives at the airport in Greece, they can feel the excitement and anticipation of their vacation in the air.As we stepped off the airport,we arrived at the Acropolis, one of the most popular tourist destinations in Greece. We take their time walking up the long, winding path that leads to the top of the hill. The sun is high in the sky, and the air is warm and dry. The smell of wildflowers and herbs fills the air, and the sound of cicadas singing in the trees is a constant background noise. As we reach the top of the hill, we are greeted by a breathtaking view of the heart to Athens, spread out below us.The sun glints off the marble columns of the Parthenon, and the breeze rustles the leaves of the olive trees.We could see the blue waters of the Aegean Sea in the distance, and the distant sound of waves lapping against the shore can be heard. The ruins of the ancient city are bathed in golden light, and there is a sense of timelessness in the air. We took moments to sit on the steps of the Parthenon, soaking in the view and the feeling of being transported back in time.
“I could get a lot of followers from this insane view”.Hilly smiles.
“Not until we are done unpacking, the house isn't far from here”.
We arrived at our vacation house and we all gasped.As you step into the vacation house, you're immediately struck by the stunning view of the Acropolis through the window. The warm sunlight filters through the leaves of the olive trees, and the sounds of the city below drift up to the peaceful retreat. The house is decorated in a traditional Greek style, with white walls and blue accents. There's a balcony overlooking the city, and you can imagine yourself sitting there, sipping wine and watching the sunset. The atmosphere is calm and inviting, and you feel as though you've stepped into a different world.You can smell the salty air from the nearby sea, and feel the warmth of the sun on your skin. The sound of the wind rustling through the olive trees is soothing, and the birds sing their songs in the distance. You can see the ancient Parthenon standing majestically above the city, its white marble glistening in the sunlight. The
terracotta roof tiles of the surrounding houses add apop of color to the landscape, and the blues and greens of the sea and sky create a beautiful backdrop. You could take a deep breath and savor the moment, feeling completely at peace.The soft breeze rustles the curtains. The tiles on the floor are cool to the touch, and the sunlight streaming through the window seems to paint the room in a golden glow. The room feels like a sanctuary, a place where you can relax and recharge. You can almost feel the stress of the outside world melting away as you step into this oasis of tranquility.I was already loving this vacation idea.
“Welcome!!!,to our Family vacation!”,Dad says.
“The kitchen is lovely”.Mom smiles.
“I can see myself loving the whole idea”.I turned towards the stairs, “got to get the best room!”.
Hilly frowns deeply but she couldn't do anything about it.
As I stepped into my room, I was struck by the view of the sparkling blue water beyond the balcony. The waves gently lap against the shore, creating a soothing soundtrack for her stay. I walked over to the window and opens it wide, letting the warm breeze flow throughthe room. The sun glitters on the water, casting a dazzling display of light and color. I could feel as though I had just stepped into a painting, and I couldn't tear her eyes away from the view. I took a deep breath, taking in the sights and sounds of her perfect vacation spot.In the distance, I could see the boats bobbing in the harbor, and I imagined what it would be like to sail across the azure waters. The palm trees sway in the breeze, casting dappled shadows across the sand. The scent of jasmine wafts through the air, and I felt as though I had been transported to a tropical paradise. I sank into the plush bed, sinking into the soft pillows and luxurious .Feeling completely at home, as though this room was made just for me. I closed my eyes, content to simply enjoy the moment.
“Snap out of your thoughts”.
I frowned to see Jacob standing by the door, “I think you might have heard of the word ‘Knock”.
“Yeah whatever, just in case you know, just don't get in my way" .He warns.
“And who made you the boss, huh?, this is my family vacation, and I will do as it pleases me”.
“Sure thing panties”.He smirks.
“Quit saying that!!”.
He didn't say a word but turned away, leaving me vowing never to expose any of my underwear, to avoid further embarrassment.
