This is our last day in Bali which is upsetting but at least I'm not in cold shitty London right now.

I lay on the sand absorbing all the sun in all its glory, Blake is laying on the towel next to me reading a book he bought at the airport he told me what it's about but if I'm being honest I wasn't listening.

"Blake?"

"Lili?" He mocks

"I'm bored"

"We're literally in paradise how could you be bored?" He asks flicking his sunglasses down his nose

"I don't know" I sigh lying back into the bright pink towel, he lets out a light chuckle watching me pick up sand and watch it fall between my fingers.

"As much as I love Bali and excited to go home and see George and Reece" he sits up twirling the neon green straw in his drink

"Same they're like my children"

"Like your children?" He giggles

"Yeah like the other day I had to teach George how to iron and Reece how to turn on the heating, they're so confused all the time and I feel like a mother to them" I put my sunglasses on top my head and watch Blake's expression as he laughs out loud tilting his head back

I take a sip of my vibrant coloured alcoholic drink that has a paper umbrella hanging out the side.

"Move your feet" I moan as his feet is resting on the end of my towel

"I'll move you in a minute"

"What the fuck is that even supposed to mean?" I ask confused

"I don't know" he furrows his eyebrows due to the sun shining in his eyes, his face is slightly red due to embarrassment and sun burn...I guess red is my new favourite colour.

He pulls out his phone and plays a song called 'business' by catfish and the Bottlemen, I had never heard of the band until one late night back in London we stayed up till 5am and he showed me all their songs

Tonight is our final night here which means tomorrow morning we will be on a flight back to London and that also means I won't be seeing my family for a short period of time considering we have a break to go home for Christmas but me being person I am I always get homesick because my mother and father are practically my best friends.

"We need to make the most of today!" I say walking back to the villa, a towel wrapped around my body slowly drying to body as Blake follows behind

"Of course!" He replies as we reach the front door and knocking on it to reveal my dad answering then Pandora being chased around by her cousins.

It's around 8pm now and everybody is already packed for tomorrow because our flight is at 5am, my family have told us to start packing even though we still have hours to do it. we've just come back from our final dinner as a family for this trip which is pretty sad but I'm too full to even care at the moment.

"Guess what I've just remembered" Blake says sitting on the couch next to me patting my knee

"What have you just remembered?"

"All the uni work we have missed"

"Don't remind me" I sigh leaning down and putting my face into his chest tiredly, since we've been here I've completely forgotten about all the work I've missed but it's fine because most people don't even turn up to the lectures

"So excited for all the late nights studying" he sarcastically says playing with a strand of my hair

"I will cry at the thought" I giggle sitting up hoping it he doesn't think I'm weird even though we have cuddling in bed almost everyday,

"Can't we just create new identities and go on a road trip in a caravan with our 3 legged dog" he looks at me with puppy dog eyes

"Tempting but no...maybe I haven't decided yet"
