JOSEPHINE's POV
"Open it." Matt smiled, sitting next to me on my bed.

"Ok." I smiled, looking down to the wrapped box in front of me. I started pulling back the paper, watching Matt's giddy smile. "You look like a kid in a candy shop Matty."

"Open it!" He smiled.

"I am!" I grinned, pulling the lid off the box. Once the lid was gone, it reveled a beautiful bikini from Nolee's new line. "I love it!" I smiled, holding the top up.

"Keep looking!" He smiled, pulling the rest of the tissue paper out.

"You know the birthday girl is supposed to open her own gift." I smiled, moving closer to Matt.

"You're taking too long." He giggled, holding the other bikini's aside.

"Matt you're supposed to put the card at the top." I chuckled.

"Oh my god Jos!" Matt laughed. "Open it!"

"I am!" I laughed, peeling the envelope open. I smiled as I opened the card, looking up at Matt, who was about to jump off my bed. As I looked down, two slips of paper fell out of the card, making my snap my head up to look at him. "Matt what are these?"

"Look at them." He smiled.

"We're going to Indonesia?" I halfway screamed.

"Yup!" He smiled, holding his arms open as I nearly tackled him to the ground.

"Are you excited?" He asked, smiling at me.

"Are you kidding me? I'm over the moon!" I smiled, laying on top of him. "When are we going?"

"In, like, thirty minutes." He cringed.

"What?" I said, jumping off of him and sending Smudge into a frenzy.

"Babe, relax, the girls packed most of your stuff." Matt smiled, taking my shoulders. "You just need to add a few things."

"Jesus you scared me." I smiled.

"But get packed, we've got a thirty hour trip ahead of us." He grinned.

"This is the most amazing place I've ever been." I smiled, trowing my arms around Matt in our suite at the resort.

"Honestly me too." He smiled. "I was worried."

"About what?" I asked, jumping on the bed.

"Just about getting here, and having you on a long flight." He smiled.

"Matty this is the best thing anyone's ever done for my birthday." I said, standing up again to pull out a swim suit. "I wish I could've done something like this for you."

"Are you kidding?" He asked, approaching me. "I tried so hard to plan something for you like what you did for me, it was so fun."

"I'm glad you liked it." I giggled. "Everyone had so much fun."

"I think we should do a pickle ball fundraiser with the team." He said, digging through his suitcase.

"Thats such a good idea." I grinned, pausing what I was doing. "I'll keep it in mind."

"Cool." He smiled.

"Can we go for a walk?" I asked, starting to change into my bikini.

"Sure!" He said, turning to face me. "Where do you- wow."

"What?" I asked, doing up my bikini.

"You look- just wow." He smiled, taking my hips.

"Thank you." I smiled, leaning up to kiss him.
