They lay like that on the beach for a while before choosing to go back to the hotel. They'd both said no more about what was going to happen when they got back to reality although both of them knew at some point they'd need to have it.
It was early the next morning Gerry was awake worrying, they had half a day until they had to get back to normality, it was going to be different than normal though. He turned over to check the time on his phone, it read 5 o'clock. With all the worry and thoughts filling his head there was no way he was going to get back to sleep, he looked over at Sandra who was fast asleep and looking very peaceful. This was the life he wanted to lead with the woman he loved. Unfortunately for that to happen a couple of hearts would have to be broken. He chose to get out of bed, he walked around the room quietly for a while wondering what he could do that wouldn't wake Sandra. After being able to think of nothing he chose to go out, he needed to go for a walk to clear his head of worry.
Sandra woke up a couple of hours later, she turned to give Gerry a good morning kiss and was surprised to find she was in an empty bed. Sitting herself up she looked around the room to discover it wasn't just the bed that was empty, she was alone in their room too. She reached around for her phone to call him and find out where he was, his phone rang across the other side of the bed. He'd left his phone. Sandra got up and ready, all the time worrying as to what could have happened to Gerry.
Not long later the door finally opened and Gerry appeared.
'Where the hell have you been?' Sandra asked angrily.
'I needed to go for a walk to clear my head. Anyway I bought you flowers.' She took them.
'You could have left a note, or took your phone or even woken me first.' She said angrily and then calmed a bit. 'They're lovely.' She told him referring to the flowers.
'Glad you like them.'
'Anyway what was wrong that you needed to clear your head?' Sandra asked him gently as he sat himself down next to her.
'What's going to happen when we get back.' Gerry told her.
'Oh. Gerry we don't have to do this yet if you aren't ready or if you aren't sure.'
'Sandra of course I'm sure, I love you.' He said as he stroked her cheek.
'Well then, what's the problem?'
'Unless you'd forgotten I live with Maggie, what am I going to do when I break up with her?'
'Erm well I suppose you could come live with me until you get sorted.' He nodded and smiled.
'Okay, well I'll break it off with her tomorrow evening.'
'I'll do the same. Anyway let's not worry about tomorrow; we still have most of today to have lots of fun.'
The day went faster than they'd both anticipated though.
Hope this is still okay. Feel free to review. From now on updates might get a bit slow, I'm going back to school this week and I'm starting GCSE work now so that needs to be my main focus from now on. I promise to update whenever I can though!
