Winter Break

Chapter 6

Kate's P.O.V

"эй мама , что мы здесь," I say trying to talk to my mom and carry my bags.

(Hey mama we're here)

"Хорошо. папа говорит привет."

(Okay. Dad says hi)

"скажите ему, я сказал."

(Tell him I said hi back)

"Хорошо. Я люблю тебя. Веселитесь до свидания!"

(Okay. I love you. Have fun bye!)

"Я тоже тебя люблю мама до свидания!" I close my phone.

(I love you too mama bye!)

"It's so interesting to hear you talk in Russian," Lucy says. "Even though I don't understand a word. Except the word 'mama' and 'hi'."

I laugh. "Yeah."

We make our way to the hotel room. Lucy and I share a room and then Ryan has one connected to ours.

"How about dinner?" I ask.

"Honestly I'm really tired. Can we order in something?" Ryan drops his bags in the other room.

"Sure," I say grabbing the menu. "Something simple."

"How about a cheese and pepperoni pizza?" Lucy says looking at the menu over my shoulder.

"Ryan we're ordering pizza!" I call to him.

"You do that! I'm gonna take a shower!" He calls back.

"I'll order it," I say.

Lucy nods and heads toward the bathroom.

I order the pizza then take a shower too. By the time I get out I see the pizza box open on Lucy's bed and Ryan searching through On Demand to find a movie. I look and see they haven't eaten any yet.

"Aw thanks for waiting for me," I say sitting next to Lucy.

"I wouldn't have waited. Lucy made me," Ryan says grabbing a slice.

Lucy rolls her eyes.

We decided to watch 'White Chicks' for the bazilinth time now. That movie always makes me laugh.

***

I wake up and check the time. It's 10 am. I look over and see Lucy still asleep. So I grab my phone and earphones. I watch the music section of vine and favoriting the ones I really like or I wanna show Lucy or Ryan.

I hear Lucy shift potions and look over to see her eyes open slowly.

"Morning," I smile.

"Morning," she smiles back yawning.

I give her a minute to finish her yawning and stretching before asking;

"You think Ryan is awake?"

Lucy shrugs. "Only one way to find out."

We both get up and quietly make our way towards Ryan's room. I slowly open the door and then fully. Seeing Ryan with his hands crossed and in his lap, motionless on the bed.

"That's creepy!" I say walking in Lucy following.

"I've been expecting you," he says calmly.

"Uh huh. So you heard us?"

He nods. "I actually had a feeling when I woke up, you guys would come in here and do something to me. So when I heard you slowly open the door, I was right."

"We were actually gonna see if you were awake," Lucy corrects.

"Sure," Ryan rolls his eyes.

"Hey if we wanted to do something to you, you wouldn't know. We're like ninjas," I say doing one of my ninja moves along with Lucy making us laugh.

"Right. What are we gonna do today?" Ryan asks.

"I heard there is a pool here and indoor tennis," I smile.

"What about snowboarding?" Ryan asks.

He just loves to do that.

"Well of course-"

"Spa?" Lucy asks.

I roll my eyes. "Yeah. You guys, we're gonna be here for a couple days. There are so many other things to do!"

"I know you wanna play tennis," Lucy laughs.

"Yeah. Okay so let's figure out what we're gonna do today."

Ryan grabs the brochure from his bedside table and motions for us to come. We plop down next to him and look at what we can do.

"How about we go to the pool first?" I suggest.

"But we need to eat," Ryan pouts.

"Okay. We can go eat first, then swim?"

Lucy and Ryan nod.

"Let's get ready first," Lucy says.

"Can't we just go down in our pjs? I'm to lazy to get dressed."

Lucy and I roll our eyes.

"Come on lazy butt," I say.

Lucy and I try to pull Ryan up from the bed. Instead of getting him off the bed, we end up falling. After about 10 tries we give up getting ready ourselves.

***

We head down to the restaurant to order breakfast. Thankfully Ryan got dressed but kept fussing about it on the way to it.

We order our food and quickly eat it. I'm eager to begin the fun.

When we get to the room we change into our bathing suits and grab our pool supplies.

Swimming in the winter, how ironic.
