An unexpected holiday romance

Fun

  I wasn’t initially going to even ask Hannah and Sophie if they had wanted to come to the club with me but Natalie had insisted that I should ask them. After telling her about what Jem had said and done she had reminded me that I shouldn’t blame all my friends for her actions. After a couple of hours of talking to Natalie without all her innuendos I found that we had a lot in common that was until her ‘staff’ as she had called them had begun preparing the yacht for her dads return. She asked me to stay for lunch but I decided not to, what would I say to a multimillionaire? I decided to catch a taxi back as it was now the hottest part of the day, when I returned I luckily found only Sophie and Hannah next to the pool.

   ‘Where’s Jem?’ I asked when I was in earshot of them. They both turned to look at me before both jumping up in unison and giving me a hug.

   ‘Where have you been? We were so worried!’ Hannah screamed into my ear.

   ‘Out’ I shrugged.

   ‘Jem’s out. We heard what she did to you’ Sophie added before releasing me from the hug and holding me back inspecting my cheek where a faint mark still remained.   ‘Everyone was talking about how a girl who sounded a lot like you got hit by a girl that sounded a lot like Jem.’

   ‘So she didn’t tell you herself?’ I asked and they both shook their heads.

   ‘So what actually happened?’ Hannah asked.

   ‘She got jealous and she tried forcing herself onto that guy from the beach’ I replied not adding everything that was said.

    ‘What a bitch’ Hannah mumbled under her breath.

    ‘Anyway girls how about going to a club tonight? Complete with VIP treatment of course. We’re talking free entry, free drinks and backstage passes and between you and me I heard Avicii is making an appearance’ I grinned like a loony awaiting a response.

   ‘For real?’ Sophie shrieked and I nodded. ‘How?’

   ‘I might know someone who well… owns it’ I replied casually.

   ‘Who do you know who owns their own club?’ Hannah questioned.

   ‘Well that is for me to know and you to find out’ I said.

   I left the girls squealing like children at Christmas as I entered a silent villa. I went to my room and sat on the edge of my bed before pulling my mobile out of my bag and scrolling the names that it held. I began composing a text for Natalie to tell her how many of us to expect. She had eventually informed me that she had already put her number into my phone as I slept. I was initially angry that she had looked at my phone but calmed down knowing I had nothing scandalous to hide;

‘Hey, Soph and Hannah are in, can’t say the same for a MIA Jem, see you tonight xx’

I pressed the send button before wondering if I should have even put kisses at the end without her getting the wrong idea.

I just shrugged awaiting a reply suddenly my mobile buzzed;

‘Told you they would love to. As for Jem, its her loss. She doesn’t deserve a friend like you. Can’t wait to see you, I will happily await those kisses you added at the end of that text. I won’t put any at the end of mine because well…I’m not that easy’

I find myself laughing out loud to the text, how can someone think so much of themselves? I just shake my head chuckling.

   I began to get ready pulling out my favourite dresses, I wanted to look like a VIP but had nothing that looked remotely like someone who should be in a VIP section, and I just sighed at the pile of clothes on my bed. Sophie knocked on my door before walking in holding one of her dresses I loved, it was gorgeous and so much more expensive than anything I owned.
