Sorry this is a bit short, I had bad writer's block. Enjoy and review to let me know what you think :)
Almost as soon as I enter the room, I crash out on the double bed. It feels so comfortable, soothing all of my aching limbs. For a moment I think about turning the TV on, then change my mind because it will probably all be in Spanish.
"You alright in there?" I hear Matt call from the main room, he sounds like he's unpacking a bit. I really should go and help him, but I'm such a lazy arse.
"Yeah, I'm fine, just... you know, having a lie down," I reply, then decide that maybe I should help him. He shouldn't have to do it all himself.
Once we're all unpacked we strip down a bit, after all it is boiling hot. I tie my hair up into a high ponytail to keep it off my neck. Changing into my bikini, I slip some sunglasses on and join Matt on the balcony. He's only in swim shorts, and is nose-deep into the script.
"It's so hot here," I complain, slumping down on the deck chair opposite him, "How about we take a break and go down to the swimming pool?"
He looks up from the script, "I suppose we could go there for a bit, but I do need to practice this."
"Aren't I just a little bit more worthy of your attention than the script?" I whine playfully, and he smiles, putting the script onto the floor.
"Of course you are," he walks over and tucks a loose strand of hair that has fallen from my ponytail back behind my ear. "Coming?"
"Yep," I chirp, taking his hand and intertwining our fingers. "Do you want Karen and Arthur to come or shall we keep it just the two of us...?"
"It's up to you, although knowing them they're probably already in there," Matt chuckles, as we step outside and lock the door, towels wrapped around our shoulders. He slips his arm around my waist as we make our way down the stairs.
It takes a while, but we eventually reach the bottom. As we make our way outside into the boiling heat, I realise we haven't really spoken since we started walking down the stairs.
"So how's the script going?" I ask. He cracks a smile as the pool comes into sight around the corner. We pick up the pace a bit, wanting to get there quickly and cool off.
"It's going brilliantly. I love how they're showing a darker side of the Doctor; it's ingenious. Moffat's such a good writer."
"Yeah, he is. I love his plot lines," I say, just as we reach the pool. Luckily there's not many people about, just a few old people lying on sun loungers and reading books whilst sipping water from straws.
It's a reasonable size, shaped like a giant L and with a small diving board and spa pool. Although it's way too hot to go in there. I notice a few toddlers in arm bands mingling around the shallow end with their parents. If we stay away from them hopefully they won't be too much of a distraction.
"Hey, lovebirds," I hear a voice say from behind me, then whip around to see Karen standing there, sipping a cold drink.
"Isn't Arthur coming?" I ask, and she bites her lip, giving a quick shake of her head.
"Nope, he's being boring and practising his script. I told him that he should've done it on the aeroplane, but he decided to fall asleep instead and has to learn it now, when he could be out enjoying himself like the rest of us."
"Didn't you get us a drink?" Matt frowns, and Karen bursts out laughing.
"Get one yourself, lazy bones!" she sneers jokily, stepping past us and chucking her towel on a sun lounger, dipping a toe into the water to check the temperature. Apparently satisfied, she slips into the water, so only her head and shoulders poke out of the top. "Coming, or are you going to stay there all day?"
"Beth, you go and keep Karen company so she doesn't go mental. I'll get us some drinks," Matt says, giving me a quick peck on the cheek before dumping his towel on the sun lounger next to Karen's. He begins to walk off but I quickly grab his wrist and shoot him a cheeky smirk.
"Is that it?" I giggle playfully, and his eyes light up for a moment.
"What do you mean?" My eyes dart to his lips then back to his eyes again. "Oh..."
"Yes, 'oh'," I smirk, and as he leans in I hear Karen yelling in disgust, "Not now guys! No... stop it..."
Before she can even stop us his lips are on mine, kissing me passionately yet gently. It's sweet and perfect. His hands slide down and rest on my hips, mine wrap themselves around his waist in order to bring him closer.
"I don't know you two, never seen you before in my life..." Karen mutters sarcastically, swimming further out into the pool and leaving us alone.
Gently he breaks the kiss, both of us slightly out of breath.
"That any better?" he smiles, and I nod frantically.
"Much," I peck him briefly on the lips once more then step towards the pool. "Now hurry up with those drinks! I want you to join me in the pool."
"Yeah, won't be long!" he says, disappearing back into the building as I slip into the pool. It cools me right down, relaxing every muscle in my body. I lean against the side, propped up by my arms, kicking my feet slowly in the water. Hopefully he'll be back soon, but in the mean time I'm going for a bit of a swim.
