Bora Bora is five hours behind Austin so the sleep we got on the plane helped us out. It would be about midnight back home right now, meaning it was only seven here. We just got off the plane and went to retrieve our suitcases. Gavin had to drag me to the tiny Apple Bee's in the airport before we went to our odd hotel room. We finished eating and headed off to the bungalow suite Gavin rented for us. The sky was beautiful, the sun was setting over the water as we pulled up to the main building. The lady gave us a key and showed us where to go. We walked down the boardwalk that stood over the beautiful blue water and reached our bungalow. Gavin unlocked the door and we stepped inside, too mesmerized by the views through the window to look down at the glass on the floor giving us a view of the water. Gavin stepped out in front of me and I looked down. "Gavin watch out! You're gonna fall in!" I chuckled and pointed at his feet. Gavin jumped up and stumbled back. He frowned at me, "Not funny!" I started walking towards the couch, chuckling to myself, "Pretty funny." Gavin placed our bags near the wall and admired the space with me.
The small living room, complete with a television was basically the front entrance, combined with a bed on the other side of the room. The kitchen was behind this with french doors leading out to a patio with a complete water view. I'd say it was a million dollar view. Gavin walked around, but stopped when he reached the fridge and opened it, "I can't believe it." I leaned towards him, "What?" Gavin pulled a bottle of champagne out of the fridge and smirked at me, "It's a complementary drink!" I gave him an odd look, "Are you sure it's complementary?" He nodded and handed me a note. 'Congratulations on becoming newly weds! Here's a bottle on the house,' the note read. I smirked and handed it back to him, "Let's pop it!" I stood up and took the bottle from him. He stood back a bit while I popped the cork from the bottle. I rushed it over to the sink and let it foam up while Gavin cheered and got us glasses. I poured some champagne in both of the glasses and sat it back in the fridge. Gavin handed me my glass and we clinked them together. "To us," I smirked. "To a marriage to last," Gavin smirked back. We both took a sip of our drinks. By the time we realized we were drunk, we were already shirtless.
I woke up late a little later than what I expected yet Gavin was still sleeping. My head felt like it was being inflated with air. I made myself a cup of coffee and put on tea for Gavin because it apparently soothes his headaches quicker. The breakfast bar closed in a few hours so I decided to wake Gavin up so we could go eat. I walked up to the bed and pecked his nose, "Wake up." He swatted lightly at the air and groaned. I went over and poured him a cup of tea before returning and waving it in from of him. Gavin blinked his eyes open and sat up. He had bed head, but it looked adorable. He took the mug from me and held it close to his face. "It's hot," I warned him, pulling myself into the bed with my coffee. He took a sip of it anyways, but it was small enough that we wouldn't get burned by the hot liquid. I took a sip of my coffee seeing as it was cooled down enough by now. The view outside the window was mesmerizing, not to mention the view right next to me. I took out my phone and snapped a picture of Gavin while he wasn't expecting it. He shot me a funny look, "What was that about?" I just smiled and shrugged.
When we finished our drinks, we got dressed and made our way to the main building to get a small breakfast. There were so many choices so we decided to share whatever the special was. The waitress recommended us places to go to once we finished eating. We just decided we wanted to lounge in the small pool on the deck of our room. So that's what we did. We walked back to our bungalow, changed into our swim trunks, and relaxed in the pool for a few hours. Gavin sat next to me and we watched the sunset together. "I still can't believe it," Gavin leaned his head on my shoulder. "Guess who's gotta head to the county's office when we get back," I chuckled. Gavin pushed himself off me with wide eyes, "Tell me you didn't get a ticket." I rolled my eyes at him, "No! You have to change your name, dingbat." Gavin mouthed 'oh' and chuckled, as did I, before leaning back on my shoulder. "I love you Michael," he sighed out. "I love you two Gavin."
We eventually got out of the pool and changed into some dry clothes. "Mind if we go on a walk down the beach?" Gavin nudged me in the arm while I was drinking a glass of water. I shrugged and finished the glass of water right before Gavin dragged me out the door and down the boardwalk. "It's so nice out today," I smiled up at the sky. Gavin nodded and made a sound like he was agreeing with me. "We should take a picture," I snickered at Gavin. His eyes lit up, "We should!" My eyes went wide, "I was kidding!" He punched me in the arm lightly, "We should do it! So we can remember this when we're older." I rubbed my arm and shrugged. Gavin pointed to a lady walking over to where we were standing, "She could take it for us." The lady walked over to us with a smile on our face as Gavin slipped his hand into mine. "Are you two on your honeymoon?" She asked, her head tilted slightly to the right. "Yeah, day two," I answered. "Aww how cute! Congratulations." "Thank you!" Gavin chirped. "My name's Callie," she held out her hand and I shook it, as did Gavin. "I'm Michael and this is Gavin," I introduced us.
"You wouldn't mind taking a picture of us would you?" Gavin asked, holding his phone out. Callie politely took Gavin's phone, "Not at all!" Gavin jumped in the air and I caught him and shot him a look. He just smiled and wrapped his arm around my neck. I smiled as well, a real genuine smile, as I waited for the flashed of light. Callie handed Gavin his phone back, "That was so cute." "Thanks for taking that for us," I smiled, peaking at the picture on his phone. We heard a man calling for Callie. She turned around to see who it was before looking back at us, "Sorry boys! That's my brother calling me. We're on a family vacation. Nice meeting you!" Gavin and I waved at her, "Bye Callie! Have a nice trip." "To you as well," she smiled one last time before rushing off to where her brother was calling her from. Gavin wrapped himself around my arm, "Well she sure was nice." I nodded, "Yeah, she was." "Want to head back?" He tilted his head at me. "Sure. It's getting pretty dark," I answered, walking towards our place.
