When Stoffel and I both have our wetsuits on and have a board under our arm, we walk to the shore.

"Are you ready?" Stoffel asks me and I nod, my heart feels like it is in my throat because of the excitement and the nerves.

"I guess I am." We walk into the water and Stoffel helps me to properly lay on my board.

"Now, do you know how to peddle?" I nod and show Stoffel. "Good, now when there's a wave coming you don't want to catch, you dive under it." He takes his board and peddles a bit further into the water to show me what he means. Without much trouble he pushes the board under water and dives under the wave to resurface behind it. "Now you try." With my heart still beating rapidly, I peddle towards Stoffel and try to dive under the wave that is coming towards me. I fail miserably tho and when I resurface I am no longer on the board and I am trying to get rid of the salty sea water in my lungs.

"Okay, that needs some practice." I laugh when I have caught my breath.

It takes me a full thirty minutes to finally master the diving under waves. I haven't even surfed yet.

"Now, go stand on your board without falling." I try to stand up, but when I am almost on my feet, I lose my balance and fall off the board.

"I'm starting to think this is not meant for me." I laugh and I push my hair out of my face.

×××

Even though I thought I couldn't do it, after a full day of trying and failing I finally caught a small wave without falling.

"I did it!" I exclaim. "I did it!" Stoffel laughs and as I'm sitting on my board and he on his he leans towards me to press his lips against mine.

"I am proud of you." He says and I slightly blush. "I knew you could do it." 

Hey guys, as you can see, the updates of all my stories are pretty irregular. That is because I'm currently on a holiday in the southern of France and I don't have Wi-Fi unless my father is my hotspot which is thirty minutes every day and most of the time I spend it texting.

For everyone who is looking for a place to spend the holidays next year, the southern of France between nice and Marseille is really worth visiting. Monaco is a 1.5 hour drive away and that is one of the most spectacular places to visit, gp or not. I went there yesterday and infortunately my parents didn't want to go any further than the harbour, so I haven't met Charles, but it was gorgeous. When I am home I could include some photos if you lovelies would like that.

I have a lot of updates ready for when I get home, so be prepared❤

Lots of love from France 🇫🇷❤
