Sheo's Story

Chapter Sixty-Seven

Theo's POV:

Waking up next to Shai and the sun shining on her face was an image of perfection. I've done my best to just throw any worries about our future to the back of my mind so I don't ruin anything on the honeymoon. I had a slight slip last night, but now is just not the time to start talking about babies and all of that. We were going to go out on a boat today and hopefully see some dolphins, someone should be coming in to the island soon with on the boat to pick us up. I speak gently to wake her up so she has enough time to get ready, my favourite bit of each day is watching her wake up and smile, it's so rare for people to be as genuinely happy as she is first thing in the morning and it makes it so much easier for me to be happy. 

I open our still packed suitcases and pull out some shorts and a tank top. I can feel Shai's glare as I rummage through her neatly folded clothes, I laughed and through a handful of tops at her, causing her to laugh and throw them back. 

As we're leaving we both pick up our sun glasses we were once given as a gift and meet our boat driver. We walk hand in hand along the warm sand and I lift her into the boat before climbing in myself. The clear water begins to turn white through the power and speed of the boat, and every now and then some water would splash up and hit our faces. After about half an hour of speeding around in the boat we were far out in the sea, far enough to see all kinds of fish and we did eventually see a dolphin. I wasn't paying much attention to the fish because I love to enjoy and be a part of Shai's excitement. 

Shai's POV:

Today was one of the most perfect days, I was so amazed to see a boat waiting for us and all the different kinds of sea creatures. What I love the most though is that we could be doing absolutely nothing at all in our apartment and I would still be having an amazing time, because anytime I have around Theo makes me the luckiest person alive. Loving him is my greatest achievement and I will do whatever I can every day to make sure he knows that. 

Around lunch time we made eggs and spoke about funny events that happened at the wedding and how nervous we were. You would think being in such a secluded part of the world would make you crave your mobile phone and contact with people back at home, but it's actually done the opposite to me. My phone is in my bag, dead, and I have no urge whatsoever to charge it. I promised my mother I would keep in touch with her as often as possible, but I know she doesn't expect me to be calling and texting her within the first couple of days of the holiday, and nothing that urgent at home can be happening that they need me to desperately know. Theo's been exactly the same as well, I don't think he even knows where his phone is. Another thing proving that he's all I need in my life. 

When I was younger I would sit and picture my future, my dream guy at my dream wedding. I had absolutely everything planned out, even the finest details of his face, and exactly how the wedding would look. I look back now at all the plans I had for myself and I can honestly say I've had a better life. Nothing can go wrong from now.
