The water is crystal clear when we pull into Chora, Mykonos. We slept in too late, so we had to skip breakfast and get our shit packed and ready to get on the Ferry. So by now, lunchtime, we're ready to eat. Collectively, it is decided we'd drop our bags at our hotel first and then find somewhere to eat. This is our luxury accommodation leg of the trip, a two bedroom suite with sea view at the Cavo Tagoo hotel in Mykonos City. It's like if the traditional cave house and a modern resort had a baby. Incredible, right on the water with views of Dilos Island and the city as well as the ocean. Again, this has two rooms with double beds and a sofa bed, so we decide to improvise. I sit them down, telling them what I've done.
"Men, I have made an executive decision and booked my own room."
Heath teases in his valley girl voice
"Oh my God, I can't believe you made such a hard decision like that."
I giggle, standing and grabbing my bags
"I'm in the cave pool suite if you need me. Meet you in the lobby in twenty minutes or so for lunch."
I head into my own room, and want to die right then and there. It's stunning, a door opening right up into a little cave pool that you can swim out of and look over the sea. I want to get in it now, or maybe I want to take a quick power nap on this bed. This full, double bed with an expensive mattress that I have all to myself. No- up and seizing the day. I film a little tour of my room before I strip into my underwear and dive right into the pool. Allowing myself a ten minute swim before getting dressed again and meeting the boys for lunch. I leave myself makeup free, letting my hair dry in natural salt water curls. Dressing in cream and black plaid pants, a black crop top with buckle straps and a buckle strapped around the waist, with my doc martens. My olive green bikini underneath. I'm beginning to realise my wardrobe may be too edgy for Greece, but we're working with it. After meeting them, Brennan questions
"What happened to you?"
I shrug, boasting
"Oh, I just went for a swim."
He gives me a questioning look, and I explain
"Cave pool suite. I have my own pool."
Their mouths fall agape, although they're excited about that fact. I'm sure they'll be there later. We head out on foot, strolling and exploring the cobblestone roads and alleys through the city until we come across a block of restaurants where we stop off for lunch. And of course some Greek coffee. Instead of a cappuccino freddo this time, I just order their Greek coffee. It's much like Turkish coffee. Served in a little brass beaker, hot and black. Thick as syrup. Heath blinks at it as I pour it
"That is going to punch you in the face."
Colby sips his water, denying
"That won't even make her flinch."
Heath raises an eyebrow
"What are we putting on it."
Colby states
"I'll shout you a drink at whatever party we end up at tonight."
Heath shakes his hand
"Okay, bro."
They turn to me
"Go."
I hand Heath across from me my camera
"Vlog it for me- Brennan, try this with me for comparison."
He makes a face
"Oh God, Okay."
I pour him a touch in a spare glass on the table. Colby counts us down
"Three, two, one-"
We both take a sip. Brennan reducing into a fit of coughs, choking on the bitterness. It's not pleasant, but I don't react so dramatically. I can drink it. Colby smirks at Heath, who turns my camera on him
"I'll take a Jack and Coke tonight, thanks brother."
Brennan, still coughing, attempts to defend himself
"It's just hot. It's hot."
Elton adds, also filming
"Rey still didn't flinch."
Brennan, in return, reaches across me and steals my juice to get rid of the bitterness. We finish our lunch, and head out to do more exploring. We only just make it out the door before we're stopped, a group of people about our age. About seven of them, three guys and four girls. Two of each gender clinging to each other. The other two girls clinging to the other too. Seems to be only one single guy, who stops us
"Hey!" He points to me "I know you. You're Alaska huh?"
Again, English speaking but disguised in the Greek accent. I grin
"Hi. I am. What's your name?"
"Nicky," he replies "we're like, the you guys of Greece."
I nod
"Oh- you guys are YouTubers? That's sick."
They all break to greet us, hugs and chit chat. Like we're long time friends all of a sudden. Nicky introduces all of his fellow YouTubers to us, before stepping back and stating
"You must come to my party tonight. Yacht party. Nine o'clock, at the docs just down further from where the Ferry dropped you."
I look between everyone, who are nodding, and I state
"Okay, Yeah, we'll be there. Thank you."
He reaches out, touching my elbow
"No. Thank you."
He smiles at me and the group moves on. Colby scoffs, and I shoot him a look. I move our day on
"Come on, I want to get photos down here."

After a while longer of exploring, we head back to the hotel. We plan to have a swim in my room, I get in before they get there though, having to get it when they knock. I open it only to find Colby there, standing shirtless in his swim trunks. I point
"Pools just through there, where are the boys?"
"Taking their time."
"Cool."
I leave him in the doorway, and go get back in the pool. I know how his eyes feel on me, and know he's watching me lower myself into the water. It satisfies me. It's been a while since I've been in a bikini around him, and it's an easy revenge. I duck under the water, flicking my hair up when I emerge. He clears his throat, and I turn to find him stepping in now. He directly asks me
"Have you spoken to Kian since you've been here?"
I nod, answering truthfully
"FaceTimed just before you got here."
He hums, moving towards me.
"Did you tell him about your Greek friend Nicky?"
I roll my eyes
"I would have if there was anything to tell."
Colby smirks
"Poor Nicky is going to have his heart broken tonight."
I shrug, stating
"He didn't ask me on a date, he asked all of us to a party. You're looking far too into it."
He laughs, again moving closer
"I'm a guy, Rey. I can tell."
The closer he gets, I compensate for by moving back. I don't know if it's just the fact we're in a private cave pool together, and he's shirtless and I haven't had dick for almost a week- but I want to let him catch up to me. Press me against this cavern wall and kiss me. God, I haven't wanted him so bad in this way for months. I stop moving back, standing my ground. He stands before me, his hand touching mine under the water. He's so close I can feel his warmth radiating off him. He opens his mouth to say something, but Heath enters hollering
"Mykonos bitches!"
Colby and I turn to them, stepping back from each other instinctively. Seeing they interrupted something, they look around awkwardly, before I scoff
"Just get in."
After an hour or so chilling in the pool, snacking on wine and fresh cut fruits supplied by room service, we get out to get ready for the party. I get out a cute little cocktail dress for the party, a sequinned burgundy one, backless, spaghetti straps, v-neck. I wear some Louboutin black heels. I knew I packed them for a reason.
