"So are you gonna tell us where we're going?" I asked Brax as he and I packed
"Nope, but it's a place I go quite a lot. You and Jacob are gonna love it" he replied
"As long as there's somewhere for me to top up my tan, I'll be fine" I informed him
"Plenty of beach for you, plenty of water for us and plenty of sand for Jacob" he stated
I smiled and leaned up on my tiptoes, pressing my lips against his softly before pulling away, continuing to pack ready for our early morning getaway. The next morning…
"I thought he'd be dead to the world" Brax admitted as Jacob hurried around the living room collecting various toys to occupy him during the car journey
"He'll be dead to the world once you start driving" I replied
He nodded in agreement… "You are excited about this, aren't you?"
"Yeah, course I am. Just me, you and Jacob. Nothing better" I stated, kissing him softly "I can just contain my excitement more than Jacob can"
"Can we go yet? Can we go yet? Can we go yet?" Jacob proclaimed, hurrying over to us
"Jacob, you need to calm down, mate" I chuckled "it's really early and Uncle Heath and Auntie Bianca are still asleep"
"But they're gonna miss us going?" he questioned "can I not go and wake them up?"
"I don't think that's such a good idea, bud" Brax replied "you see, Uncle Heath's really grouchy in the morning. You know what I used to call him? The Grouch Monster"
"Why The Grouch Monster?" he inquired, raising an eyebrow
"It's because I looked like a monster in the morning, Jacob" Heath's voice informed him
"Uncle Heath, you're awake" Jacob proclaimed "why can't you and Auntie Bianca come away with us?"
"Because, mate, we have to work" Heath explained "but we're very excited to see what you bring us back"
"I'm sure we'll find something nice to bring them back, won't we, little guy?" I asked
Jacob nodded… "So, can we go yet?"
"Yes, fine" Brax replied "grab your bag and go and get in the car"
I chuckled as he hurried off into the bedroom and grabbed his bag, hurrying out to the car…
"Are you sure you're okay looking after the restaurant?" Brax questioned Heath
"Yes, everything will be fine. Go and have fun and enjoy yourselves" he replied
"We intend to" I assured him, smiling "we'll see you on Wednesday"
He nodded in agreement and escorted us to the door, watching as we made our way to the car and climbed in, Brax starting the engine…
"Wave goodbye to the grouch monster, Jacob" I stated, Brax chuckling lightly as he reversed out of the driveway and we drove off
