We arrived home that evening, we were all tired. We pulled our luggage into the front door and up to our rooms. I kicked off my shoes and fell face down on the bed and fell asleep just there. 

I suddenly heard my phone ringing, or at least vibrating near my head. I opened up one eye to peek at the screen and saw it was Pedro calling me. I pulled the phone to my ear and answered it. "Hello" I said groggily. "Jess, are you okay, thank goodness you answered" he said sounding slightly panicked. 

"I fell asleep as soon as I got home" I replied, sitting up now. "Why, what's happened?" I asked him sounding a bit more awake. "You haven't responded to my messages since last night and I got worried and tried phoning you but there was no answer" he said with a sound of relief.

"What do you mean last night, we only just got home " I said looking over at my clock, which showed 12.00, then walking over to my windows to pull back the curtains.  "Oh wow, it's the next day, I've slept through the day" I kinda said to myself. "I'm so sorry" I said pulling the phone away from my ear to check my screen and I have a lot of text messages from my mum, dad and sister as well as from Pedro.

I then touched the camera button on my phone to call him via video. "It's great to be able to see you" he said smiling at me. "I must look a right mess right now" I replied, smiling back at him. "Well those curls need some taming, but otherwise, you're all good" he said laughing at me as I tried to flatten my curls.

"How was your flight?" I asked him and we got chatting like we were never apart. "So did you see the photo's I sent you?" he asked. "No, let me look" I replied as I put the video on pause to look at the photos he sent me.

 "No, let me look" I replied as I put the video on pause to look at the photos he sent me

"Where did you get these photo's from?" I asked him. Smiling at me, "The guys took photos of us and only remembered to send them" he said.

"But the last one is my favourite, just a pity, I cut you mostly out" he said laughing as I opened the last picture

"When did you take that picture?" I asked him. "That night you and I were sitting by the pool by ourselves" he smiled an even bigger smile. "Remember you told me what it does to you?" he grinned wriggling his eyebrows. "Pedro!" I laughed at him.

We spoke a while longer before the need for a pee became urgent. "I can see you dancing there, you need to go to the loo?" he said laughing at me. "Yes, I do" I blushed slightly. "Okay, I'll let you go, chat to you later then?" he said. "Chat later, miss you" I replied and before ending the call he replied he missed me too.

I quickly went for a pee, before heading off down stairs to see if anyone else was awake, but sadly no one was awake. So I went and unpacked my bags before taking the last bit of clothes that hadn't been washed, I put it in the washer and got on with the rest of my day.
