'How are you holding up babe?' You looked up, panting while Alex just climbed onto another piece of rock. His definition under a good vacation included some good hikes and the raw beauty of nature. Not that you were complaining, you loved it as much as he did but he forgot sometimes that you had less of that condition he had. He turned around on the rock and looked down to you because you didn't immediately answered his question.
'I'm still alive.' You shrugged with a smile.
'I see that, all sweaty and gorgeous.'
'Stop it.' You chuckled. He threw you a bottle of water and you caught it out of the air, opening it before drinking it half empty.
'We are almost back.' He pointed to somewhere on the horizon. How he knew the way you still didn't understand, you sucked at orientation. He held his hand out and helped you up the rock on which you had an amazing view over the forest you hiked through last couple of hours.
'This makes everything better.' You noticed while enjoying this kind of view. He wrapped his arms around you, rested his chin on your shoulder. 'Yes, you to.' You answered his waiting look. You stroke your fingers under his chin, placing your lips on his. He groaned in frustration and you started to laugh. 'Shame we are hiking hmm.'
'Still have enough of the day left.' He said with a promising voice. You made some kind of an appreciating sound before following him back uphill. You did nothing else than going uphill last hours, to be quiet about the mosquitos. You kicked one away from your arm, looking at the bite he left behind.
'Always those,' you looked up to Alex who was pointing his phone your way. 'I hate the mosquitos!' You yelled to his phone. He started laughing, turning it back to himself.
'She hates the mosquitos.' He finished his Instagram story.
'The world should now.' You murmured, taking a run and jumping on his back. 'Come on donkey.' You clicked your tongue, longing to get back to the hotel.

In your favorite summer dress and a cocktail in your hand you looked to Alex surfing his way over the waves. That boy really couldn't stop moving around all the time. He enjoyed every bit of his vacation like you did watching him, taking a picture, making a video, all the things to remember this vacation for as long as you could. You pulled your sunglasses from your nose onto your head when he pulled that board over the beach, giving you a clear look over his naked wet chest and hair. He dumped the board down aside you, splashing water with his fingers onto you. 'Stop it.' You laughed.
'What?' He asked. And when you looked up he was looking down to you all in mischief and you knew immediately what that meant.
'Alex no!' He grabbed you around your waist, pulling you the whole way back to the sea. You fought his strong arms, laughing in between. 'Please don't.' But he did, throwing you right in the water with dress and everything. You got underneath before you took a new breath when you came back up. You stroke the wet strains of hair out of your face before looking back at him. 'You bastard!' You smiled, splashing water over to him. He chuckled, doing the same back. You looked like two little kids having the time of your life. And in fact, it was exactly that, this vacation was so relaxing and fun you wouldn't forget it any time soon. It was also your first vacation together with Alex and it was not to complain about it. You fought the waves getting away from him but he grabbed you around you waist, pulling you closer so your back contacted with his chest.
'You love this bastard.' He whispered into your ear. His hands traveled over your wet dress and you closed your eyes for a minute.
'Yes, I do.' You smiled, messing his hair totally up with your hand, turning around in his embrace. You laid your hands over his shoulder and pulled yourself to his eye level. 'You certainly came on a white horse my prince.' You said with that typical all in love face of yours. You met Alex on set, he almost didn't saw you standing when he passed by with his white horse and chariot, in fact, he didn't saw you. You being more on the background of everything didn't change the fact he noticed you in an instant. He answered that look by placing his lips onto yours. Your hand stroke over his dark hair while his hand traveled down over your back, resting for a moment on the small of your back before he got lower and you felt that longing again.
'We should get back to the hotel.'
'Yes we do.' You whispered in agrement, placing another kiss on his lips before making yourself loose from his wet body and struggling your way back to the beach with him.

It was somewhere in the early morning when your body decided it was the best way to hang half an hour over the toilet, throwing everything up you eat yesterday. The bonus, it was more than 30 degrees outside and your body burned equally as hard. The sweat rolled down your forehead, exhausted you sat on the bathroom floor with your head against the cold wall. 'Y/n?' Alex came around the corner and looked at you. 'You look terrible.'
'It noticed that myself to.' You murmured, holding on to the wall while getting slowly up. He didn't waked up when you got here for the first time ... and the second, and the third until you agreed to just stay here instead of getting every time back to bed. 'I think I have the flue, or something else.' You let your head hang, panting from the little things you did. Alex walked over, supporting your body a little. 'I don't want to make you sick to.'
'Like I care, come on, back to bed.' He reacted, leading your body right back to the bed. 'You got a fever to.' He noticed the heat coming from your skin. You started scratching the mosquito bite on your arm and Alex looked at the red dot. 'I think we need to get you a doctor, to be safe.' He noticed your scratching. You followed his look over to the bite, already scared that you maybe got a rare kind of disease. 'I will call a doctor.' He noticed your slight panic.

The doctor stated the following; you got the flue as a reaction on those mosquito bites of yours. He tested your blood to be safe but you were all in the clear so you had to sit this one out. There wasn't more you could do then sleep, try to eat and sleep again. And this on your first vacation with Alex, you ruined everything. You looked over your shoulder when he walked in with a glass of water and a wet towel. 'Alex,' you signed as he laid the towel onto your forehead for the fever. It felt good in this heat, you closed your eyes, enjoying the cold for as long as it would last. He came to sit aside you on the bed and you opened your eyes again. 'Go have fun. I will manage on my own.' You whispered.
'I'm here on vacation with you, I'm not leaving you. Besides, who's gonna hold your hair up when you throw up again?'
'I can do that myself.' You protested on his words. He turned on his side and looked at you.
'Let me take care of you?' He asked all serious. You shook your head and looked through the hotel window to the blue ocean.
'This is your vacation, please, enjoy it while it lasts.' You begged him, guilty by the fact that you where this sick. But he was the stubborn kind and you knew already that he wouldn't change his current plans, even when you would get angry about it.
'And you are my girlfriend, so,'
'Please.'
'Babe, no.' He smiled softly. You murmured something and turned away from him, angry on yourself. 'You would do the same right?' He asked, hovering over your shoulder.
'Yes.'
'What can I get you?' He asked. You turned your head and looked to him, forcing an exhausted smile on your lips.
'The light, cold and good stuff.'
'Arranged. Get some sleep.' He placed a kiss on your shoulder and jumped from the bed.
'Alex,' you called after him when he was ready to leave. 'Don't forget to do something fun on the way back.' You followed when he looked over to you. He rolled his eyes and walked out, leaving you alone with your sleep. Witch you caught right away. How long you slept you didn't knew but you waked up by the whistling Alex always made when he was cocking. But you were on a hotel so he couldn't be really doing that. You pulled out of the bed, turning the corner where he was dancing on the music through his headsets. You tilted your head, smiling by his moves while he made some kind of ice tea with fresh fruit. He turned around his own body and stopped when he saw you dancing.
'Don't mind me.' You smiled weakened when he pulled his headphone of.
'How do you feel?' He asked concern.
'Alright. Did you do something fun on the way back?' You asked in return. You walked over to the table on the little balcony, sitting on a chair in the shade.
'I went swimming here in the hotel, does that count?'
'Yes it does.' You nodded while he brought you a ice-cold glass of tea. He took himself one to and came to sit aside you. 'You're drinking tea?'
'What? I'm not gonna drink cocktails without you.' He shrugged. You signed, bringing your lips to the glass to sip from the tea. It was exactly what you needed, something fresh, light and with enough vitamins to get you back on your feet.
'You know Alex, I really appreciate you being all the concerned boyfriend but I'm feeling guilty already for taking your time away,' you looked over to him, desperate. 'you know I can handle a little flue.' You followed right after.
'Y/n, I wouldn't enjoy my vacation without you. Are you complaining about me taking care of you?'
'No, I love it. I just don't want you to be bored, if you want to do something you should.' You forced a smile on your face. He leaned over his seat to you, stroking a strain of your messy hair back after your ear.
'I'm never bored. And the more I can take care of you, the faster you will heal up.' He placed his lips on your shoulder again and you looked at him, shaking your head.
'To what did I deserve you Alex Hogh?' You asked softly. He rested his lips on that exact same spot and looked up to you.
'I'm still apologizing for almost hitting you with that chariot.' He chuckled. You smiled and looked back to the surrounding. The little breeze did good, but he did more, taking so much care of you, you were sure you would be healed up in no time.
