*Meryl's POV*
- Meryl, you have to wake up.- I hear.
- Don?.
- What did you say?. Hey, I'm Pierce, Greece, Mamma Mia!. Do you remember?.
- Ohhh, It's true honey, I'm sorry.- I smile.- What time is it?.
- It's 10 o'clock.
- Pierce let me sleep for a while. I have headache.
- You didn't want to sleep last night.- he laughs.- Take this.- he says giving me a tablet.
- I hate hangovers. Oh my god, I have to pack my stuff and have a shower!.- I say anxious.
- Keep calm, I have packed everything, check it if you want to be sure.
- Ohhhhhhhhhh I love you.- I smile.
I check my bag, everything is ok. I take a grey jumper with black trousers and brown sandals. I take my dressing case and I go into the bathroom.
I spend only 5 minutes in the shower. I dress up and I put on my sunglasses.
They are all sitting at the restaurant.
- How was your night?.- Christine asks in a bitchy tone.
I smile.- I'll tell you later.
I'm really hungry, I decide to eat a toast with jam and orange juice.
- Time to go.- Amanda says sadly.
- Yes... we have to take the boat.
We stand up and take our bags. Pierce takes mine too, he's so gentle.
We have already paid in the hotel's hall. We're going to the port. We have five minuts until the ship sails.
We are finally in it. We are the only passengers, what is wonderful.
- Do you know what are you going to do?.- Christine asks me.
- Sincerely I don't. I think I will forgive Don but... gosh.- I duck.
- Is it what you really want?.
- No. Or yes?. What would you do?.
- I would talk with Don first.- she says softly.
- You're right...- I smile.
Bye Greece, bye love. We are all looking how the island desappears over the horizon.
- Hey! Come on! We are adults, we shouldn't cry.- Dominic says hugging me.
- Where are we going to meet next time?.- I say.
- At the Oscars.- Amanda replies.
- Oh, the Oscars, It's true.
Everyone start to laugh.
- Why is it so funny?.- I ask perplexed.
- You are the Oscars' queen and you don't remember them.- Colin says.
- I don't know if I'm going to be nominated this year for 'The Iron Lady'.
- If you weren't nominated everything would be awkward honey.- he smiles.
The trip takes about a half an hour. I need to go to the bathroom. It's down stairs. I don't notice that Pierce is following me, his foot prevents me to close the door. He starts to give me soft kisses in the neck and places his hands on my waist. I know his intentions.
- Hey, hey stop.- I laugh while I'm trying to put him away.- We are not teenagers.
- When can be 18 for a while?.- he says smiling.
I can't resist it, I have no time to think so I let it go...
Knock, Knock.
Someone is knocking the door. Fuck. We dress up quickly and I open the door slowly to see who is it.
- Oh my god, It's Amanda.- I whisper.- Hide behind me.
- Meryl?.- Amanda says.
- One moment baby.- Shit, shit, shit.
- Is Pierce with you?.- She says laughing.
I blush.
- Meryl please, It's ok. It was pretty obvious. You two sleep together. I knew it, I don't judge you.- She says sweetly.
- Ok, you caught us.
- Meryl, I think you have to tell me a loooot of things.- she laughs.- Sorry for the interruption in whatever you were doing.- she says in a bitchy tone.
- Amanda we were not...- I try to say.
- Lalalalalalala, I don't want to know it. Pierce, you have put your shirt reverse and Meryl, why don't you cover that hickey in your neck?.- Amanda says going up stairs.
- Oh my god, what a shame, she's only a girl.- I say.
- Meryl please, she's not a child. She knows a lot. I think everyone know it.
- Yeah, I know... but I trust them.- I give him a kiss.
We go up stairs holding hands. We've arrived, we take all our bags and got off the ship. We catch two taxis to the airport. Pierce, Amanda, Dominic and I are in the first one.
The city is awesome. This is finishing, Am I ready?...
We all are in the airport. We have to say goodbye. Pierce and I are the only ones who are going to New York.
- Oh my girls, I'm going to miss you so much.- I say to Christine and Julie.
They hug me strongly.
- See you in the Oscars or in other event my little girl.- I say to Amanda giving her a kiss.
Dominic is hugging me from behind.
- I love you darling.- I say smiling.
I kiss Colin and Stellan.
- See you at the Oscars my queen.- Colin says.
We leave with a sad feeling in our hearts. I didn't want to come but know I don't want to leave.
Everything passes really fast, we check in the bags and pass the controls. We're embarking now.
I'm so nervous because of the takeoff. I press Pierce's hand.
I decide to sleep for I while, I lean on his shoulder.
When I wake up we have 15 minutes until the landing. Pierce is still asleep.
- Hey, we have to go.- I say smiling.
We get off the plane and take our bags. No one has come to take me home. I've got 4 children for nothing...
- Is Don in your house?.- he asks.
- I think yes...- I say sadly.- Time to say goodbye, I'll catch that taxi.
He wraps me in his arms. I smell him. I'm going to miss him so much.
- I want to see you soon Meryl.
- I'll try.- I duck.- I love you.
I catch the taxi and I watch him while I'm going away. I'm thinking about getting off the taxi and go with him, It looks like the final scene of 'The Bridges of Madison County'. I can't, I should talk with Don first, shouldn't I?.

I said this chapter would be better and it isn't. I'm sorry, I'm trying my best with the translation.
