19. "That's for me to know and you to wonder."

Sophie's P.O.V.

After dinner we all go back to Ella's house and up to our rooms. I take off my shoes and dress and get into bed. As soon as my head hits the pillow, darkness covers my eyes and I fall straight asleep.

*****

I slowly wake up to hear the birds chirping outside and I roll over to check my phone and see what the time is.

7:35am. Great.

I sigh and roll my eyes but instead of going back to sleep I decide to take my advantage of being downstairs by myself and getting first dibs on food for breakfast.

I throw on a big t-shirt over my underwear and put my hair up into a bun as I head downstairs. I go into the kitchen and get a croissant and some jam from the fridge.

Once I've made myself a cup of tea I take my plate and mug outside and sit on the terrace in the morning sun whilst it's still peaceful.

I finish my food and drink and then take my plate and mug into the kitchen before heading back up to my room to change into a bikini.

As I reach the top of the stairs I hear a door opening meaning someone else is awake. I hope I didn't wake them.

"Pssst Sophie." I hear a voice whisper. I look to my right to find Brad standing in the doorway of his room in just his boxers.

"Yeah?" I whisper back.

"Get changed into a bikini, me and you are going out for the day. Hurry before everyone else wakes up." Brad says but before I have time to reply back he goes back into his room and shuts the door.

I do as I'm told and change into a bikini and put a sundress over the top. I put my hair into a ponytail and grab my sunglasses before going downstairs where Brad was waiting for me.

He's wearing swimming shorts and a shirt which he has left completely unbuttoned. The sunglasses on his head have pushed back some of his hair however small curls are still falling on his face.

"Ready?" He says to me still in a quiet voice.

"Yep." I say back nervously.

Brad opens the front door then shuts it quietly behind him as we both head down the drive.

"So where are we going exactly?" I ask him.

"To the beach." Brad replies.

"Righttt but why couldn't the others come?" I question.

"That's for me to know and you to wonder." He says with a smirk.

I roll my eyes playfully at him. "I hate it when you say that." I say whilst hitting his arm gently.

We both giggle and make small talk before we reach the beach.

I follow Brad along the beach until we come to a small hut. Similar to the one we came to in Spain when Brad hired the boat for us.

"Reservation for a jet ski under the name Simpson." Brad says to the man who is standing behind the desk at the hut.

"Jet ski?" I say as I look up at Brad who has a smile on his face.

"It'll be fun." He says with a wink.

The man hands Brad the key and tells us the number for our jet ski as we walk down to the sea to find it. I take off my sundress and flip flops and leave them on the beach. Brad also takes off his shirt and flip flops too.

Once we reach it Brad pats his hand on the seat for me to get on. "Come on" He says to me.

"I hope you're coming with me and you're not just going to leave me here." I say to Brad with a small smile.
