I'm Okay.
Chapter Two.
Eloise's POV
It was an extremely long and painful journey, partly because of the air turbulence and partly because I was thinking so hard about life that my brain was on the brink of exploding. BUT we managed to arrive in one piece. However, the one thing I was most looking forward to (despite escaping england) was the weather, and it was shit. The sky was dark, the clouds were grey and it was all almost too appropriate to my current mood.
"Bullcrap. Where's the sun?" Joe moaned, managing to take the words right out of my mouth.
"At this point I don't even care, just give me a bloody bed." Zoe answered, which was true. I was able to get to sleep for a little while on the plane, but it definitely wasn't enough. I was exhausted. Plus I knew for a fact I wasn't good with jet-lag.
"Yeah, we can worry about the weather tomorrow," I concluded. "Perhaps it will brighten up then."
"Positive thinking!" Zoe beamed.
"Hooray." I replied in a mono-tone voice. I didn't have the energy.
"Enthusiastic!" Alfie winked. We called for a taxi and hopped in. Joe in the front and Zoe, Alfie and I in the back with me between them. Jesus Christ though, I was sat in the middle of them and it must have been only a 3 minute journey, but the sexual tension was real. I felt like if I hadn't been sitting there they would have ripped each other's clothes off and had sex there and then.
We finally arrived at the hotel and I scampered straight up to the reception desk. The place wasn't half bad, and by that I mean, it was beautiful. The reception was huge and the desk was made out of granite. Big lights hung from the tall ceiling and fancy sofas were placed all around with a 40inch tv to compliment each corner. I was stunned, so stunned that I had forgotten I was even tired. Eventually, I tuned back into the zone and asked about our rooms. Zoe & I were sharing one and Joe & Alfie the other. We strolled down the corridor with me gazing at each individual painting that was hung on the wall. It was so amazing to me that the same area of a place could be expressed in so many different ways with each artist.
"This place is amazing." Zoe smirked, bouncing onto her bed.
"I know." There were frilly, bright red curtains draping across the glass doors that lead out on to the balcony. Even better, the balcony had a Jacuzzi sat on it, which I was really looking forward to for when the weather got better. The bathroom was so fancy. It had a glass shower with marble floor and a marble sink to match. The water pressure was phenomenal too. There was a huge hammock-bath that was black with small silver butterflies imprinted on the sides. I bet youre wondering how I managed to afford this. I won it. In a raffle. 4 tickets. I had never won anything in my life before that, it was quite an achievement. I just thought I'd enter for fun and that happened. It was strange. Incredible, but strange. Plus, £5000 worth of dollars to spend. It was gonna be a good holiday.
