AN: I decided to do a themed chapter. I love stories that feature themes. And just about every school in my state (public school I mean) is finally doing their spring break! And since I was super busy relaxing my spring break, I decided Carly should get her own! So here is a themed story for her! Any of you out there on spring break? I also started doing vlogs on youtube! It's mostly consisting of me reviewing books but I'm willing to talk about this story on there! So you guys should check it out! My name is Carmie Thomas on there J Thanks guys!
"Mark, there was something I have to tell you," I said, looking at my feet.
"What's wrong, Carly?" he asked, grabbing my hand.
"Well, this guy, Tom, asked me out the other day. I kept trying to say no. But he wouldn't let me."
"Oh, that's ok. Did you mention me?"
"Well, that's the thing. I mentioned you but he was tipsy and forced himself on me. Thankfully Ryan was there when he did. He wouldn't stop."
"So that's why he was acting weird. Are you ok?" He touched my arm.
"I'm fine. Just a little shaken up." I said. Mark nodded and pulled me against him. I breathed in his scent. He smelled so good.
"As long as you're ok. By the way, I needed to ask you about school. When do you get out for spring break?"
"I'm actually out this Friday."
"Great! I rented a condo near the beach and wanted to know if you wanted to come with me?"
"You mean just us?" I asked.
"Of course. Who else would go with us?" he asked. I shrugged.
"I'll see what I can do." I said.
"So Carly, you have spring break next week, right?" My dad was asking.
"Yeah. Mark actually asked me to go out of town with him for a few days."
"Out of town?!" My mom asked.
"Yeah mom, just for a few days though."
"As in. By yourselves? I don't know how I feel about that."
"Mom! I'm not a child. I'll be responsible. I'll be safe. I'm in college, not preschool!" I huffed.
"Ok but you have to promise to keep in touch with us." She said. I nodded.
"So are you going with me?" Mark's voice purred over the phone. I blushed at the thought of him.
"Yeah my parents said it was ok that I go." I said.
"Awesome! I'll come pick you up tomorrow morning."
"Do you have everything?" my mom asked, helping me carry my bags out to Mark's car.
"Yes mom, I have everything! Don't worry!"
"I know, honey! Just be safe!"
"Ready to go?" Mark asked. I nodded and he helped me in the car. My mom and dad waved at us as we left.
"How long will it take us to get there?"
"Not long. It's about a 45 minute drive." He said. I nodded and leaned back in my chair. I felt a wave sleepiness roll over me.
I felt something soft brush against my face. I felt my body lean in to whatever was touching me. I peeped my eyes open and saw that Mark was sitting beside me on a bed. The covers were pulled over my body. I sat up in the bed and looked around.
"It's ok, you're at the condo." Mark motioned toward a balcony in the room. A warm breeze wafted in and the sound of lapping waves filled the room.
"Why didn't you wake me?"
"You just seemed so tired. There's also a pool below and an indoor hot tub. The beach is private."
"Wow. You went all out."
"I wanted to make our first vacation together special." He replied. I smiled and kissed him. He pulled me close and snuggled me. I smiled and sighed happily.
