Beyond The Classroom

Vacation.

The cab pulled up to the stunning beachfront resort, and Victoria and Alec stepped out, taking in the picturesque view. The ocean sparkled under the sun, and palm trees swayed gently in the breeze.

'This place is beautiful.' Victoria said, her eyes wide with excitement.

Alec smirked. 'Almost as beautiful as me.'

Victoria rolled her eyes, playfully punching his arm. 'In your dreams, maybe.'

'Hey, I'm a catch.' Alec said, grabbing their luggage. 'You're lucky to have me.'

Victoria laughed, following him to the reception desk. 'Keep telling yourself that, pretty boy.'

After settling into their room, they changed into their swimwear and headed to the beach. The sand was warm under their feet, and the sound of waves crashing was soothing.

'Race you to the water!' Alec shouted, already sprinting ahead.

'Cheater!' Victoria called after him, running to catch up. She reached the water just as Alec dove in, splashing her in the process.

'You're going to pay for that!' Victoria laughed, splashing him back.

Alec grinned, ducking under the water and coming up behind her. He lifted her out of the water, spinning her around. 'Say I'm the best boyfriend ever, and I'll put you down.'

'Never!' Victoria shrieked, laughing uncontrollably.

Alec pretended to consider it. 'Alright then, into the water you go!'

He gently tossed her into the waves, and she came up laughing, her hair plastered to her face. 'You're the worst.'

'You love me.' Alec said, wading over and kissing her.

'Unfortunately, I do.' Victoria replied, smiling against his lips.

That evening, they dressed up and went to a romantic beachfront restaurant. The sun was setting, casting a golden glow over the ocean.

'You look cute.' Alec said, pulling out a chair for Victoria.

She blushed, sitting down. 'Cute? You clean up nice too.'

As they ordered their food, the teasing continued. 'You better not embarrass me tonight.' Victoria said, raising an eyebrow.

'Me? Embarrass you? Never.' Alec said, feigning innocence.

'Remember last time?' Victoria asked, smirking. 'You knocked over a candle and almost set the table on fire.'

'That was one time.' Alec protested, laughing. 'And it was a small fire.'

'Uh huh.' Victoria said, shaking her head. 'Just try to keep it together tonight.'

Their dinner was filled with laughter and lighthearted banter, the sound of the ocean providing the perfect backdrop.

The next day, they decided to go on a hike to a nearby waterfall. The trail was beautiful, lined with lush greenery and vibrant flowers.
