“Yes, this is my home away from home, I love it here.”
“God, I can see why. How do you ever leave?”
“Because, I could never face being too far from you.” He leans over and kisses my temple, making love bubble deep down in my stomach and taking over the hunger pains, now I’m just hungry for Tommy.
The villa is surrounded by the most beautiful trees, covered in bright fuchsia flowers. The contrast is striking, making it all the more picturesque.
Stepping out of the car, I take Tommy’s hand. “Come on, you need to show me around before everyone else gets here. I want the best room,” I laugh as we run into the house.
“Well, me and Max kind of have our own rooms, so I hope you like it. Mines the biggest of course,” he winks. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall as they fought over the bedrooms. Knowing Max, he would have had a fit getting second choice.
“Show me,” I whisper. The thought of getting him alone taking over my mind, and my lower regions too.
From the look on his face, I think he has the same idea but before we even step a foot closer to the room we hear the front door open.
“Honey! We’re home!” Max bellows through the house.
Urgh, typical.
I imagine this is what our break way will be like most of the time. I’m not that bothered, I love the fact they’re all here with me, maybe we can finally party without getting stalked and attacked for a change.
More voices enter the space soon after Max as everyone arrives safely. In my rush to get to the bedroom I never had chance to have a proper look around.
Outside was a pretty kind of beautiful, but inside is the complete opposite, it’s modern and masculine. Very minimalistic but extremely clean, just like Tommy’s taste. I wonder if he had this place built, it would make sense with his job.
It’s all white and grey with small splashes of colour throughout, even the kitchen is mainlywhite, with the odd colourful intricate tile on the wall. I love it, but it definitely needs more life in here. The walls are mainly glass on one side of the house, showcasing all the beautiful views of the cliffs and sea. I feel as though I have stepped inside a fairytale, I just want to get up and explore, now.
“This place is fucking ridiculous. Why haven’t we been out here sooner?” Blair asks, awe on her usual passive face.
“Blair, isn’t it amazing, maybe we should set up shop here. I could definitely imagine waking up here every morning,” Gracie says as she spins around taking it all in. “Tommy? Is there a pool?” She asks.
“Yes. I’ll show you to your rooms then we can go for a walk around, so you know where everything is,” He smiles. I love how he loves my friends. Just like they’re his own. Which they are really, he has known them almost as long as he has known me.
“Yay! Come on, let’s go, I want to get out into that glorious sunshine!” Gracie exclaims excitedly.
“Come on,” Tommy whispers to me. “I’ll show you to our room.” Excitement bubbles up in me at the thought. He told me to be patient, and that he thinks I’ll love it.
I follow along after him down a corridor and we come to a stop at the last door. He glances back at me with a cheeky smile before openingit wide. The first thing I notice about the room is how light it is. The sun shining directly into it from a floor to ceiling glass sliding door, that opens up onto our own private balcony overlooking the sea. It’s magical.
The room is as I guessed, all white with beautiful cotton sheets and throws on the bed. Considering how hot it is outside, I’m so grateful for the air conditioning in here. I’d hate to think how hot it would be without it, especially with all of the windows in here. I turn on the spot, gazing at everything around me. I have never seen hotels this nice before, he must have a cleaner.
“That’s it, we’re never leaving,” I protest, utterly in love.
“The room or the country?” He jokes.
“Both. Honestly Tommy, this place is something else. Did you design it yourself?”
“I did. With a lot of help of course. I did help to actually build it too, whenever I had free time I would fly out and help.” He smiles fondly at the memory.
“That makes it all the more special.” Knowing he was the one who poured his heart into it, the same heart that he has given to me.
“I was thinking, we should head into the capital tonight early to do some shopping for supplies and stay for dinner?”
Shit, I forgot I have no clothes. Luckily I had bought a bikini to wear at his place back home, even though I rarely wear it.
“That sounds perfect.”
A few hours go by and we’re all lounging by the pool, soaking up all the sun we can. Jenson’s men are too, but you can tell they’re still working. One of the men, I think his name is Samuel, is constantly on his laptop even out here in the baking heat. I don’t know how the thing isn’t overheating.
