Alice headed back to my apartment with me with her bags and practically packed for me. I watched as she fussed about choosing one of two shirts. She gave up and chucked them both in my large duffel bag.

By the end, it was 10:00 and we were both tired. Alice changed into the shirt she always wore to bed and I noticed it was the shirt I had worn to the party on the beach where we had our first kiss. I smiled and kissed her forehead after I stared at it.

"You excited about tomorrow?" I whispered and twirled a piece of her hair on my finger before letting it untangle and slide down onto the pillow.

"Yeah. It will be great. The bottom floor will be slightly more packed than ours on the top. Niki, Lauren, Marcus, Mitchell, Jasmine and possibly Niki and Lauren's boyfriends if they have any at the moment"

"Wow, I guess the couches will be used up and everything"

"Yeah. They get all crammed in while Lucy, Todd, you and me get all the space to our selves" she said and smiled. She trailed her thumb down my nose, over my lips and down my chin all the way to the nape of my neck. It tickled and I flinched slightly. She laughed and kissed my nose.

"I missed having you here. It was extremely lonely" I said and pulled her closer to me by her waist. She wrapped her arms around me and snuggled in.

"I missed you too. It helps sleeping in your shirt though" she said and smiled.

"It's not fair; you get to wear one of my shirts but you're so small I can't have one of yours"

"I think people would think you were gay if you wore my shirts" she said and chuckled.

"Right" I said and she yawned. I brushed my thumb over her eyelid keeping it closed and kissed her forehead. "Better get some sleep. We have a really long drive ahead of us"

"You're right. I am really glad we have my GPS so we can beat the others there"

"Oh, got something in mind?" I asked and grinned at her.

"Maybe, depends how I'm feeling" she said with her eyes still closed and smiled. She rolled over so her back was to me. Tease.

The drive took forever but it was worth it. We got to the agency where we had to pick up the key at 5:00 due to good traffic. We had stopped a few times on the way to swap drivers and eat a bit but besides that we had a good run.

Alice got a text from the others when we were in the agency and they said they would be another hour and a half. They had taken the wrong turn off and ended up lost. That meant we had a little time to ourselves considering Lucy weren't coming for another day.

"There you go Mr Jarvis. Enjoy your stay and we will see you Friday morning" the friendly agent said and handed me an envelope with ours and Lucy's keys. We had rang up and told them that the others would come to collect their keys when they got here.

"Thanks. See you then" I said and headed outside with Alice back to the car. It was a hot day but it was good. It wasn't too humid and I liked it like that. I looked around and saw most of the guys just walking around in there boardies and thongs. It seems pretty casual. Everyone was either in their swimmers or singlet, shorts and thongs.

"So, where is this place?"

"Well, according to the address, it should be just a couple blocks away. Let's go! I'm so excited!" Alice said and grabbed my hand.

The place was old and looked like it had been there for years but it was in good condition. The view was fantastic, looking right out over the beach. We could walk straight across the road and down the grass hill to the beach. The surf beach was across the rock pools and I didn't plan on spending much time there.
