I woke up with Ashton's body curled around mine. It was cold in the room but Ashton's body heat was keeping me quite warm.

I scooted myself back and more into Ashton, causing him to wake and groan in my ear,

"You can't be moving back like that" he mumbled, "I can't go another round"

I chuckled and rolled over to so was facing him, watching his hazel eyes pop open. I smiled and pushed some of his hair back from his eyes,

"Good morning" I spoke,

"Good morning" Ashton smiled and pressed his lips to mine for a long moment, "We've got a lot to do today"

I nodded. Today was our excursion day and Ashton has booked some he knew we'd like,

"What time do we need to head out?" I asked, letting myself cuddle into him, my head resting on his chest.

"They're bringing the rental car to the hotel at 9:00. So we need to be at the lobby then since our first thing is at 9:30" Ashton spoke. I nodded and reached for my phone to check the time,

"We definitely need to get up then" I laughed. Ashton groaned but sat up, his arms reaching up as he stretched out.

As he got out of bed, he was butt naked, making me chuckle,

"What is so funny?" he asked,

"You got a cute butt" I teased. He rolled his eyes and slid a pair of boxers up his legs. I slowly got out of bed and grabbed my black bikini. I quickly put it on and had Ashton tie the strings. Once that was done, I tossed on a pair of jean shorts and a tank top to cover up. By the time I was done, Ashton was dressed with the backpack packed and waiting for me,

"Ready slowpoke?" he chuckled, standing from where he was seated. I nodded with a playful pout. He just laughed again and guided me out the door.

We enjoyed the scenery on our walk to the lobby as always. It's truly beautiful here. But once we got to the lobby, we got our rental car and headed to our first excursion, which was a snorkeling tour. This one will take up most of our day. It's six hours but we also get lunch included.

We boarded a boat with two other couples and set sail out. As we sailed to our first stop, we were given safety instructions and they set us up to go in the water.

After seeing some mountains, we went to a small bay area where they helped us get the snorkeling gear on,

"Ready honey?" Ashton asked as we sat on the edge, ready to flip back into the water. I nodded and put my mask on. I took his hand and we both flipped back into the water with the others.

We swam around for a long time, seeing so many different animals. We saw a bunch of sharks and rays, then saw a beautiful coral reef.

When we came to the surface, both Ashton and I were smiling. We were loving every second of this. It's something we have never done before.

When our snorkeling time ended, we all got back on the boat and headed to a small island where we met a friendly local. He showed us how to open coconuts then let us open some of our own and drink the water from it,

"We may start buying coconut water" Ashton told me,

"We will definitely be able to find it" I laughed, knowing it's healthy for you and there's lots of health food places back home.

Once we left that island, we were served a lunch which contained some amazing barbecue. Ashton practically devoured his then ate what I couldn't.

When we got back to Moorea, is what a little sad because we had so much fun on the excursion. But as we stepped back on land, Ashton was grinning from ear to ear,

"Time to go on an ATV tour"

****

After an ATV tour, we went back to our villa. Ashton and I showered together before getting into some comfy clothes.

We headed out onto the deck of the villa and cuddled up together on a chair, watching the night ocean,

"I don't think I wanna go home tomorrow" I mumbled,

"I know" Ashton sighed, "We will definitely come back here"

I smiled,

"We get married in less than four months" I spoke, my head already thinking about everything for that day,

"I need it to hurry up" Ashton chuckled and kissed head, "I'm fucking ready"

"Me too"

I rested back into my fiancé, as his arms held me a little tighter,

"We need to take time for often to just be together without the distraction of the world" Ashton whispered,

"I mean, we can do that whenever. We don't always have to go somewhere" I shrugged,

"I know honey. What I mean is that we need to be more aware. Maybe set a time and we put our phones up at night and just be together"

"I like that idea" I smiled.

I could tell he was smiling too just by the way he nuzzled into my neck,

"I can't wait to take vacations like this with our family" he mumbled,

"We should make it that we take a family vacation every year" I told him,

"We will definitely do that"

"Someday" I pondered,

"Someday in the near future hopefully"
