As I walked back into our room the TV was off and it looked like dad has gone to bed already. I went into my little room and got out a short blue and white dress and bike short for underneath and lay them on the closed suitcase ready for tomorrow.

I sat on my bed, chucked the empty coke can in the bin and kissed my infinity necklace like I do every night. I lay on my bed and before I knew it, I was out like a light.

“8am, why am I up so early.” I mumbled to myself.

I jumped up out of bed and grabbed my clothes. I put them on then went to the bathroom to do my make-up. I couldn’t be bothered doing much because I was so tired so I put on eye liner, mascara and I bit of pinkie-red lip-gloss.

I found a note on the fridge ‘Come check out pool, down end of hall.’ I went back to the bathroom and quickly combed out my hair and left it loose then went down to the pool. I opened the door and saw a big pool, a paddling pool and a spa.

 “Dad?” I asked, walking over to the spa.

I went back inside and went back to the room.

“Hellooooo?” I said again.

“Yeah?” Dad said back.

“But, ahh, hmm.” I mumbled.

“Park, restaurant then shopping today.” He smiled.

I Put on my Converse shoes then followed my dad out, then down to the foyer. We went out to where the path was and went left. About 25 minutes walking, admiring the sights we got to a little park with a lake in the middle. There were blossom trees with their pretty white flowers everywhere, their petals in every corner of the park and lots of people doing their normal routines.

“What’s so great about this park?” I asked sounding ruder then I had hopped.

“Your mother and I went her for our honeymoon.” He smiled, staring off into space; you could tell he was thinking about it.

I smiled politely back but really I actually didn’t care that much. I know she’s my mum and everything but I want this to be a mum-free trip.

A boat pulled up to the dock next to us and dad nudged for me to hop in.

“We take the boat to the other side of the island where the restaurant is.” He said while I nod.

We sat down and the guy at the back started paddling, it was… fun.

We got to the other dock and dad jumped out but I nearly fell in. The restaurant looked nice, it was quite old fashioned with little flower pots hanging outside and about 6 little tables. I followed my dad inside and went to the counter.

“We made reservations? Should be under Lydia and Liam Verdean?”

“Ahh, yes,” The man smiled. “Right this way.”

He led us to a small table in the corner and gestured for us to sit, “What would you like to drink? We have Coke, Sprite, Iced Tea, Beer, Chefs choice of alcohol or Cherry Fanta. ”

“We’ll both have the Fanta please.” My dad said, he knew me so well.

We grabbed the menu’s from the table and searched through. I couldn’t decide between ‘Lemon and herb fish’ or the ‘Crunchy and spiced chicken burger.’

The man came back with our drinks and stood there waiting for our food order.

“The Chicken burger please with the side of fries and sauce.” I said.

“The crumbed fish and chips with sauce please.” My dad said, licking his lips.

Dad and I sipped our drinks while looking around the place and before we knew it the food was sitting in front of us.

They both looked so yum so we dived in and tasted.

“10/10.” Dad half shouted.

When we finished I thanked the man who served us and we left. Shopping time.

We walked out to the road and to the bus stop and arrived just as the bus pulled up. We jumped on, paid and sat around the middle. After 20 minutes of the boring bus ride we arrived at the mall and it was big. I walked in and I was surrounded by the most amazing shops ever.

“Meet back here in 10.” He laughed and walked off to the sports shop.

I went straight to Floricks, a shop that we don’t have in America and I fell in love straight away. It was amazing, so many colours. I went through every rack visible, but found nothing. I mean I loved everything, just I wouldn’t suit it.

I went back to dad and he already had two bags, oh dad.

“Back here in half an hour? Here’s some money in case you ‘need’ anything.” Dad said then walked back off.

Ok, where now… OMG its Paulo’s, the best shop in the world. I half ran and half walked over the shop. I went to the best looking rack and spotted someone that looked familiar over by the boys stuff. I subtly walked closer, looking at the racks on the way. I was right, it was Harry Styles
