The Holiday Surprise…

Cassie’s excitement grew as she boarded the flight. Her boss had grudgingly approved her time off after making her feel as if she was indispensable and her vacation was a time-wasting venture.

She knew Ian would be surprised and pleased to see her since he had given up on their having the vacation together due to her intense work that never seemed to abate.

Daydreaming as the plane made its way to Seychelles, she imagined all the exciting moments that they would have; surfing, kayaking, sleeping in a little longer, lounging in her bathing suit sipping some fruity cocktail, catching up on her reading and just enjoying being together. Who knows, maybe he would get round to proposing; a girl could always dream.

The holiday resort looked fabulous, but the concierge did his best to burst the bubble of her surprise by insisting on calling Ian before giving her a key.

A flustered, unexcited boyfriend joined her in the lobby. The mere look in Ian’s eye’s told her that something was wrong.

  1. Uh so terrible seems like Ian gave up on having quality to me with his girlfriend and decided to go for a fling or a second girlfriend. It’s too bad as she went to a lot of trouble from her boss to get off her vacation time and Iwaspretty sure once she actually had time off she would take more of her vacation days to spend with Ian. But he’s not the right guy and she should throw him and his tramp out of the room and enjoy herself at least. She might be sad but what better place to heal and and maybe meet someone new also vacationing?

    Great write!
