When my alarm goes off in the morning I almost grab my phone and throw it across the room. I immediately regret setting it. I am not ready to wake up yet. I open my eyes and Harold isn't next to me. I can see him on the balcony. I notice my camera is now on the bed side table next to me. He must have put it there after I fell asleep. I roll onto my back and start checking social media. It's become a habit to always check everything as soon as I wake up. Maybe Harold is right, maybe I am addicted.
I check Instagram and notice Harold tagged me in a few pictures. He posted the picture he took of me when we landed the helicopter and I was taking pictures. 'The master at work' is the caption. That makes me smile. It looks like he also took a picture of me with the camera on my chest after I fell asleep last night. I'd be mad if I didn't actually really like it. 'My client is dedicated to her work'. I shake my head at the caption. I see that Tyler has commented. "She loves that camera more than me, I swear." to which Harold replied "she did kiss it today". I laugh, It's good to see the bromance is still alive and well.
I get up and out of bed to join Harold out on the balcony. He smiles at me as I sit down in the chair across from him. "Good morning, sleepy," he teases.
"Morning," I reply, "I saw your picture." He laughs. "Cute."
"I couldn't resist. Do you want to get some breakfast?"
"Yes, those crepes are calling my name."
"I think I'm going to try that today."
"You won't be disappointed."
"I'm really looking forward to this waterfall we're going to be going to today. I feel like it's something that will be relaxing for the both of us."
"Yeah, this definitely is one of the things I've been most looking forward to. I know Tyler would have really liked it too." I look down at the ground, I picked it out especially for him.
"You can come back here with him, you know."
I look up at him. " Yeah, I know."
"You act like you will never be able to experience these things with him."
I sigh, "It's just that when I did all of my research and booked this trip I had an idea in my head of how it would be."
I nods his head in agreement. " I get it, You probably wanted to experience these things for the first time together."
"Exactly."
"I'm sorry you're stuck with me."
"I'm glad I'm stuck with you. I almost had to come alone."
"Then who would take pictures of you sleeping?" he jokes.
"I know. The world would have been deprived of such cuteness."
He laughs. "Conceited."
"I must have picked it up hanging out with you for so long," I tease. We both laugh. "Ok, I'm ready for crepes."
We both stand up and go inside to start getting ready for the day. I go into the bathroom to change and he changes while I'm in there. Today is one of those days where it's hitting me harder than usual that Tyler isn't here with me. I picked this spot special for us. I now Harold and I will enjoy ourselves but it won't be the same. I look at myself in the mirror and breathe a deep sigh. I can't let missing Tyler ruin this for me. This does need to be a day of relaxation. Soon I am going to be putting myself to work and there won't be any more time to relax.
When we get down to the restaurant we are seated in our usual spot by the water. I can't imagine how many people come in and out of here every day and it amazes me that the hostess remembers us every time we come here. Harold and I both order orange juice and crepes with a side fruit salad. We've been spending way too much time together. Soon we will be finishing each other's sentences.
