SEPT / SEVEN .

Chapter 17

     THE NEXT morning was interesting to say the least. Anita and Eliza slept through two of their alarms, so the only thing to bring them out of their misery was a large repeated knock on their door.

"Girls - are you okay?"

Hayley walked in, which finally awoke both friends. Anita stared at her, running her hands through her hair, yawning.

"Good morning," Eliza managed to get out and wave, "we were up late - sorry."

Hayley raised one eyebrow and pressed her lips together, slightly suspiciously, before turning around and leaving them to fully wake up, "As long as you're at breakfast in twenty minutes."

Eliza groaned and looked at Anita, who was still staring into nothingness. Instantly, Anita's hand flew up to her head and a large groan came out.

"Ouch."

Eliza had to laugh - she clearly felt better than Anita. Her body dealt with hangover better than Anita's, from experience.

"How do you feel?" Eliza asked, to which she received a death stare.

"What do you think?" Anita snapped.

This caused both of them to erupt into laughter.

"Day two here we go."

Oliver walked into the resort canteen with wet hair. He woke up with a good feeling and finally a sense of relief. 

Maybe it wouldn't be too bad after all.

Spotting Matt, he raised his hand to wave at him, but he was seemingly too busy flirting with Rose. Oliver internally laughed and walked over to pick up a baguette and top it off with some ham and cheese.

The canteen was mostly full, he even spotted his sister munching on some pastries around a table with her friends. At least she looked better to him today than she did yesterday evening, which he still did not manage to figure out the backstory to.

"Bonjour!" Matt exclaimed with a heavy British accent, leaving Rose to laugh and Oliver to playfully roll his eyes,

"Bonjour to you to, mes amis. Sleep well, Hayley?"

Hayley nodded, with her mouth full of orange juice, "Yeah - I don't know what got to me yesterday, I felt slightly sick, maybe it was just from the air conditioning on the plane - don't know, but yeah I feel better now, thanks, Oliver." She smiled and continued, "What's the plan for now and today?"

Oliver pushed his hair behind his ears, the water from it still dripping down his neck onto his black v-neck shirt. The whispers and laughs between Matt and Rose were beginning to annoy him; he stared at them and Matt raised his eyebrows jokingly.

"Great - now that you're all listening: we'll split up today and give a choice of two activities - rock climbing or hike. Later in the week we'll just swap them around and they can do the other activity." Oliver stated and took a bite of his baguette. Everyone nodded with Sam jumping in,

"Assuming we'll split up as well?"

Oliver nodded, "You and Hayley can go together and I'll go with Matt and Rose."

Matt stared at him, almost as if his eyes were asking for some privacy. Oliver groaned in frustration, deciding to ignore him and his classic behaviour of thinking with his dick rather than anything else.

"You'd sleep with her in front of everyone if I wasn't there to keep an eye on you - you're already undressing her with your own eyes right here right now, Matt!"
