Em and I, being as childish as we were raced each other squealing back up the stairs, along the corridor to our room. I was the faster runner so I barged in the door, Em close on my heels. I tripped up and to save myself I dived onto Em's bed, Em landing on top of me.
This resulted in Em and I ending up in a heap of laughter and giggling for the next few minutes.
After a while we heard one of the twins shout up to us to hurry up, so we quickly dragged ourselves back in to reality and scrambled to find our phones from underneath our pillows, where we kept them over night.
I grabbed my iPhone which was protected with a cream one direction case, which had a picture of them and then above it some of their lyrics.
Then we rushed out of the door, shutting it behind us. We hurried down the stairs to find the twins waiting at the bottom.
"You took your time, and we could hear you laughing from down here." James said, smirking.
"Sorry. We had a little...... accident on the way there." I replied sheepishly.
Ollie and James looked at each other knowingly and then back at us.
"Ok then, shall we get going then." asked Em impatiently.
"Yes certainly this way," said Ollie and escorted us through the door and when we stepped outside we breathed in the fresh, salty sea air, letting out a deep sigh of contentment, while looking out at the beautiful ocean.
It was so different than at home. So much more rural and free and open.
We followed Ollie and James down the patio and onto the front lawn. We hadn't been able to see very much the previous night and now we could see everything.
The wide open blue sky and then below it the huge expanse of water. The sound of the waves crashing against the rocks just 10 feet away from where we were standing was a comforting sound over the top of the screeching and wailing of the annoying sea gulls.
We followed a gravel path which went right next to the fence, the only thing stopping us from tumbling over the edge into the turbulent water below.
It was bit nerve-wracking to be quite honest. To be so close to death or at least a horrific injury.
.Em and I had no idea where we were heading as we carried on walking along the gravel footpath which also had a large grassy meadow on the other side. Butterflies flitting about even though it was quite a cold October morning.
Lost in my thoughts about butterflies, I suddenly walked straight into someone's back.
I looked up to find Ollie staring down at me smirking.
"Would you mind where you are going?" he asked in mock angriness.
"Sorry, I was lost in thought." I answered breezily.
"Well here we are."
"Where's here?" I asked, then felt stupid for when I looked around I found that I had been lost in thought for a while since I could no longer see the house as we had rounded a large corner in the cliff.
We were now standing next to the most awesome swimming pool I had ever seen. It was inside a sort of greenhouse building but heaters surrounded the inside walls so it kept warm in the winter, and there were three different water-slides, two of them protruding out of the top of the green house.
Ollie and James looked over at our shocked expressions and decided to explain.
"Our parents built us this pool last summer holidays because we get bored very easily, so whenever you feel like a swim or anything, you can just come up here and swim." James kindly explained.
"OMG!!!! That's soooo coooooll!! I love your parents so much!!!" Em and I both screamed at the same time.
Ollie and James both looked taken aback and scared and backed off a little.
We had been best friends for years and in some ways we were really similar to each other.
Or maybe we were just phsycic!!
Or not.
Our parents had got used to it, I hope the boys will too!
After a few minutes the boys finally got themselves together and they told us to follow them inside.
"Mum put two spare swimming costumes in the changing rooms if you wanted to have a swim now. She said they should be your size."
"Yayyyyyyyy!!!! We're going swimming!!!!" Em and I shouted as loud as we could and charged into the changing room as fast as we could.
