For the next few days up until Saturday, I spend majority of my time in the gym or holiday prepping. I'm already pretty tanned so thankfully, I don't have to go down the spray tan route, but I did get my nails done, along with some last minute clothes and bikini shopping.

The buzzer to my apartment sounds and with a quick glance at the clock I already know who it is, so I buzz him in. I unlock my front door and go back to the task at hand - trying to get my overfilled suitcase shut. I'm leaning across the suitcase, most likely putting too much pressure on the zip, when the door shuts behind Theo.

"Struggling?" He asks, the sound of laughter in his voice.

"Nah, I could do this with my eyes closed." I don't take my attention off trying to squeeze the suitcase shut with my bodyweight. Theo leans across me without saying anything and 'shoos' my hand out of the way before he  proceeds to close the case with ease.

"You look different." Theo notes after lifting my suitcase off the couch.

"That's because I don't have to dress like a professional." I tell him. "But you're one too talk, I mean you actually own clothes like that? I'm shocked." He's wearing a grey hoodie which he's paired with black basketball shorts and a black jacket that somehow bring out the Olive colour of his skin. I glance into his eyes, before turning around and picking up my own jacket and handbag. "It suits you."

Theo gasps, a fake one along with a high pitched voice that sounds nothing like him

Theo gasps, a fake one along with a high pitched voice that sounds nothing like him. "Omg! Our friendship has reached the next step! You complimented me."

I laugh and roll my eyes. I open the front door and direct him out, before closing and locking the door behind us. "I've given you a compliment before."

"Pffffttt."

"Well then I'm waiting for mine."

Theo gives me an unsubtle checking out, probably trying to find a compliment. "The colour of your top makes your boobs look bigger."

I laugh, pulling the back door to his car open and throwing my bag in, as he does the same with my suitcase on the other side. "I'll take that."

We get to the airport not long later. After grabbing our suitcases and extra bags, we go to the main entrance where Tammy and Charlie are waiting for us.
