Anna & George

George

The hotel clerk lead us to our room and of course mom only booked one. I can't believe my parents, I can't believe they expect us to live together and to even have a baby! What is wrong with them? They are my parents, but I can't believe the disrespect. The room is big since it's a master suite, a small kitchen, a big sofa, a separate room bed with a king size bed and the outside view is the ocean. Anna open the door to the balcony and check things out.

"Anna, I'll just go downstairs to get another room." I said and went back to the mini living room where the clerk is waiting. I pull out my wallet and gave him fifty euros.

"I'm sorry sir, I heard what you said and I'm afraid we don't have any more rooms available. Thank you for this, I'll get going." She bow down and left, leaving me gobsmacked.

"Hmm? I thought you went to the lobby?" Anna ask and grab her suitcase.

"The clerk just told me there's no more room available."

"I'm okay with sharing." She said and shrug, before going back to the bedroom. Getting married with another woman that is not my girlfriend is already fuck up, I'm not sharing a bed with anyone except Margaret. I followed her inside to take two pillows and an extra duvet in the closet.

"I'll sleep on the sofa tonight Anna. Goodnight." I said and went back to the living room.

The next morning we ate breakfast without talking to each other, I'm not mad at her. I'm just annoyed by all the situation I am in right now. After eating, we both decided to look around the resort and I'd say it's actually very nice in here. Without all the bad decisions I've made, I would say that this one is an exception. I needed a break from my parents, my work and from England and I guess that applies to Anna as well. Speaking of Anna, I look at her and unlike me, she seems to not enjoy looking around since she is only looking at the ground as if it's the most interesting to look at, she must be very awkward because of me and I feel so bad.

"Want to go for a swim on the beach?" I ask. She finally look up to me and nodded. With that, we turn around and went back to our room to change. I heard a soft closing of the door and I guess Anna went to the bathroom to change, I pick up my swimming shorts and change on the spot, since no one will see me anyway. I remove my shirt and neatly fold it before placing it on the couch. Anna came out moment later and I can't help but check her out, she's only wearing a over sized shirt that is up to her thigh, when I look back up, she tried to pull down the shirt even more lower while her face redden and now I'm flustered too, because she saw me checking her out. I clear my throat and pick up the towel before telling her 'let's go'.

I place my towel on the sunbed before sitting down and Anna did the same with hers, she sits down and look around.

"Anna?" I call out.

"Yes?"

"I'm sorry about my behavior and attitude since last night." I said and smile apologetically.

"And as always, it's okay. You really don't need to apologize to me about all this, if I am in your shoes, I would be too." She said and tap my shoulder.

"Aren't you kind of in my shoes as well?" I ask.

"Kind of." She said and shrug.

"Well? Why aren't you mad or anything?"

"Because George, even before this all started, I already accepted it. If I give a fuss too much, I'll only get stressed and everything and besides I'm not hotheaded as you are." She said and stick out her tongue at me. What she said hit me like a train, of course I'm like this because unlike her, I'm finding it hard to accept all this. I stare at Anna's smiling face and I can't help but admire her for being so accepting of the flow the life throws at her. "Why are you looking at me like that?" She ask.
