AN: SO SORRY! I actually wrote this chapter whilst at said hotel in Majorca, July 2013. I just realised that I had yet to type and post. I do apologize for the wait. Hope you all enjoy.

First Holiday (Vacation)

Carrie couldn't actually believe how lucky she was right now. She was currently in Majorca, lounging by the pool of a four star hotel with her boyfriend.

God it felt so weird to be calling Peter Quinn her boyfriend yet it was true, they had been romantically involved for roughly 7 ½ months now.

It had been him who'd suggested going on vacation and had been more than happy to let Carrie decide on a destination, which is how they had ended up at the Santa Ponsa park hotel.

Carrie glanced at Quinn, envious of his ability to tan whilst she had already got mild sunburn.

"Why are you staring at me?" Quinn asked from the sun-lounger beside her, his eyes never opening.

"It's so fucking unfair, I look like a goddamn lobster yet you can easily get the perfect fucking tan!" Carrie whined.

"You do not." Quinn glanced over, "But you'd be a beautiful lobster."

Carrie grasped his hand and smiled, "I love you." She whispered without realising it.

Quinn squeezed her hand and smiled, "I love you too."

Carrie's smile got even bigger.

"Last one into the pool pays for lunch!" Carrie joked, letting go of his hand and running down to the pool, followed quickly by Quinn who was laughing at his girlfriend's childish behaviour, glad she was happy, and at the fact that he would be paying for lunch anyhow.
