I hear the door to the apartment shut and instantly know who is home. "Hey babe!" I call to George, not taking my eyes off of the textbooks in front of me. "Hey." He says softly, walking up behind me and giving me a kiss on my forehead. "How was your day?" He asks but I don't respond. "Babe?" He questions, before giving up. He wraps his arms around me and lifts me out of my desk chair. "George, put me down. I need to study. I have finals in four weeks." I say, upset.
"Exactly. Four weeks. And you are the smartest girl I know. Plus I can tell that you are too stressed. You didn't even answer my question." He says. Sitting us down on the couch. "Oh sorry." I say, looking down. "Hey it's fine. I have two weeks off. How about we go on holiday, how does Mauritius sound?" George asks. "Really?" I ask and he nods. "That sounds wonderful, but" "No, no buts. You need to take a break from studying. I'm going to book the tickets now." He interrupts and gets up, walking to his laptop, not hearing another word from me.

"I can't believe this is actually happening. Thank you so much George, I really appreciate this." I say as the plane takes off. "Of course. Anything for you, my love." He says which makes my heart melt. I intertwine my fingers with his, leaning my head on his shoulder.
We climb onto a boat that will take us to the island the the hotel is on. George and I walk into the hotel, hand in hand, before he lets go to get the keys to our room. We make our way to the room and I unlock the door. "Wow." I say taking in the luxury room before me. "This is honeymoon level stuff babe." I say in shock as I explore the room. The king size bed, the on-suite bathroom and especially the private swimming pool on the front deck. "How about we go for a swim?" George asks, wrapping his arms around my waist. "Ooh yes. That sounds great, let me get changed." I say, noticing he is somehow already dressed for swimming.
I quickly change into my bikini. Giving myself a once over look in the mirror. The bikini doesn't cover much but nobody except George will see so it's fine. I walk out and find George in the pool already with his back facing to me. "Is the water nice?" I ask and he turns around to face me.
I see his eyes settle on my body, his jaw dropping. "You are going to catch flies babe." I say with a small laugh and he shuts his mouth. "Damn, how can you come out here wearing that?" George asks, his eyes roaming my body. "Easily." I say and walk over to the pool. "You know what I mean. We haven't had sex in weeks and you come out wearing something that is so easy to take off." He says watching my every move. "Let me cool off and then I will se about letting you take it off. Ok?" I say casually, getting into the pool. "Yeah ok what ever you need." George says eagerly nodding his head causing me to giggle.
