Part 3B

Daniel and Mia Smith stay to enjoy their holiday from Daniel’s perspective.

Day 6 continued

The whole family was staying in the living room of the rented suite at the hotel. They had just received news about Trevor’s accident and were discussing the alternatives regarding who should go back and who should stay on to continue the vacation.

Greg started, “True, I need help with the office first, but—”

Helen interrupted, “Yes, that’s clear.”

Helen turned to Greg. “Honey, I’m so sorry you have to go home; it’s not fair. And I think I should be the one to go. You’ll be too busy at home without me and working in the office.”

“Yes, you’re right. You and I will go home. Mia and Daniel can stay here. They’re old enough to take care of themselves. Heck, they are all grown up. Jeez, over 18. Where did the time fly?” Greg grumbled.

“Mia, Daniel, listen to me carefully now. The first rule is: Don’t leave the resort! You have everything you need here. We’ll put money on your cards. Remember, you’re in a foreign country! You have to—” Helen started spitting out rules.

Mia stopped her. “Okay, Mom. As Dad said, we aren’t exactly small kids anymore.”

Helen started again, “I know, but—”

Greg interrupted her, “Mom is right. It can be hazardous for strangers outside the resort.”

“We’re not leaving the resort. Okay?” Daniel tried to reassure everyone.

“I’m sorry, Helen. Your vacation is cut short. I promise I’ll make it up to you. Have you unpacked?” Greg asked compassionately.

“No, I haven’t. Just give me 10 minutes, and we can go,” Helen replied hurriedly.

Helen went to her room.

Daniel was in deep thought. Hmm. It all started badly. Mom and Dad have to go home, and I have to stay here with my sister for 10 days. 10 fucking days! I hope it’s okay. It’s also better for me to stay with Mia than with Mom. But, well, I realize that the best idea is for Mom to go back with Dad since Trevor is in the hospital.

“I’m so sorry, but there’s nothing I can do now. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it even more here without your parents, haha.” Greg tried to make light of the otherwise grim situation.

“Oh, Dad.” Mia sighed.

“Maybe you’re right, haha,” Daniel replied, taking a leaf from Greg’s book.

Greg looked at Daniel, giving him a knowing look. “Daniel. Now you have to take care of your sister.”

“No problem, Dad, I know how to handle it,” Daniel replied, grinning.

“No, I’ll take care of him, haha,” Mia joked.

Helen came back to the living room with the luggage. “Okay, I’m ready.”

Greg slapped his knees and stood up. “Okay. We can go.”

“Wait a minute, I’ll go get dressed, and we’ll see you off,” Mia interjected.

“Yes. I’ll go get dressed too,” Daniel added.

Greg waved his hand. “No, you two go back to bed. It’s too early. We’ll go alone.”

Greg went over to Daniel and hugged him.

“Try and enjoy it as much as possible—and look after your sister.”

“Sure, Dad,” Daniel replied, giving Greg a man hug.

Greg went to Mia, kissed her, and started apologizing again, “Honey, I’m so sorry...”

Mia hugged Greg. “It’s okay, Dad.”

Helen hugged and kissed Mia and Daniel. “Take care, kids.” Helen waved.

Greg and Helen left, and Daniel closed the door and looked at his sister.

“It’s not bad. We’ll definitely be better off without them,” Daniel remarked.

“Yes, of course. Okay. I’m going back to sleep,” Mia agreed and turned towards her room.

“Me too,” Daniel rumbled.

They went back to their rooms and slept. It was almost noon when Daniel woke up. Daniel stretched. Enough sleeping.

Daniel went into the living room, deep in thought. We should go downstairs to eat something and explore the hotel. But she’s still sleeping. Damn it! How long can she sleep?

Soon, Mia woke up and entered the living room, addressing Daniel, “Hey.”

“You’re finally awake,” Daniel groused.

“It’s so good to sleep in this bed...” Mia enthused.

“Are you going to sleep like this all the time?” Daniel needled Mia.

“It’s not out of the question, haha.” Mia laughed.

“Do you want to go downstairs to eat and go for a walk?”

“Sure, give me a minute.”

When Mia came back, they went downstairs.

“We need to see what time breakfast is, lunch, where the restaurant is...” Daniel set the agenda.

“Damn, you only think about food,” Mia pouted.

“Haha.” Daniel laughed.

Daniel and Mia went to the reception. The receptionist greeted them kindly, “Good morning, how can I help you?”

“Good morning. We arrived last night, so we don’t know which room breakfast and lunch are in and from when...?” Daniel started his spiel.

“Oh yes. You are Mrs. and Mr. Smith, right?” The receptionist attempted to clarify.

“Yes,” Daniel confirmed.

The receptionist nodded. “Please, one moment. My boss wants to speak to you.”

“Is there a problem?” Mia asked anxiously.

“No, no. No, no problem,” the receptionist quickly reassured her.

The receptionist got up and opened the door behind the reception desk, calling out, “Waldemar, Mrs. and Mr. Smith are here.”

Waldemar replied, stepping out of the office, “Okay, I’m coming.”

Waldemar adjusted his tie. “Good morning, Ms. Smith. I’m Waldemar Higgins, the assistant manager.”

They shook hands, and Daniel introduced himself. “Daniel Smith, I’m glad to meet you.”

Waldemar struck an ingratiating, honey-smooth tone. “I’m so sorry about the problem that caused your parents to leave. I can imagine how you must feel right now. I know you may feel like your vacation is ruined, but we’ll do our best to make your stay here a little better. By the way, do you have any information about Mr. Smith’s partner?”

“No, we don’t have any information yet,” Mia divulged.

“If there’s anything we can do to help, please ask.” Waldemar gave one of his knowing smiles.

“Thanks, but there’s really nothing you can do to help,” Daniel tried creating some distance.

Waldemar didn’t take note and continued his spiel, “Actually, I can, you see, you paid a lot for this apartment, and now it’s just the two of you. So I have an idea of how we can improve your stay. Since you’ve already paid a lot for a service you don’t need now ... Namely, if you agree to move to a smaller room, we’ll give you a gold card. An ‘All-inclusive Plus’. This means that you’ll have everything, not just everything in the hotel, but in the entire complex for free. Food and drinks served in all restaurants, discos, bars inside and outside. You may enjoy the beach bars, the aquapark pools, all types of equipment on all three beaches, various treatments, massages, and boat rentals free of charge—all that if you move to a smaller room.”

Mia turned to Daniel, feeling unsure. “Well. I ... I don’t know ... sounds good. What do you think, Daniel?”

“Well, it sounds good...” Daniel hesitated.

Waldemar conceded to giving them some time. “Okay. Go, have breakfast, think about it, and then you can tell me your decision. I’ll be here.”

“Okay, see you later,” Daniel said.

Mia and Daniel went to the restaurant. They took their food and sat down at the table.

Daniel pointed to the notice on the restaurant door. “See, the restaurant is open all the time. You can always come; it’s just that the type of food is different depending on the weather.”

“Yes, that’s good. Lots of fruit ... Mmmm,” Mia enthused.

“Fuck fruit.”

“Ah, you’re a carnivore...”

“What do you think of this offer?”

“Well, it sounds interesting.”

“It’s obvious that they want to sell the apartment again, even though we paid for it. Okay, that’s a deal. Honestly, the two of us don’t need such a big apartment, and if we really have the gold card ... it would mean a lot of things we can enjoy. Without that card, we would pay a lot for all those.”

“So we’ll move to a smaller room?”

“I don’t know,” Daniel hesitated.

“It would be good if we got that card. We’ll have a lot of opportunities to enjoy ourselves for free. That would mean we wouldn’t have to spend any money at all,” Miat said, weighing the options.

“And our parents don’t have to know about it, so we could keep the money, haha.”

“Smart guy.”

Mia and Daniel went back to the reception.

Waldemar was on them the second they arrived back. “Miss and Mr. Smith, have you decided?”

“Yes, we’ll accept your offer,” Mia replied, not even giving Daniel a chance to respond.

Waldemar clapped his hands. “Great. This is a decision that suits both you and us. Thank you very much, and I didn’t forget. If we can help you in any way, just let me know. George, please help Mrs. and Mr. Smith move to any available room on the second floor whenever they want. When you’re ready, call us.”

“We’ll be ready in a few minutes,” Mia reassured Waldemar.

Mia and Daniel went upstairs. The receptionist came to the apartment and took their suitcases, all three going to room 235.

“Here’s your key. Have a nice day.” The receptionist gave a small bow and left.

Mia and Daniel responded in unison, “Thank you.”

They entered the room.

Daniel looked around. “It’s quite compact.”

Mia wasn’t impressed either. “Well ... yeah.”

“WTF, where’s the other bed?!” Daniel exclaimed.

Mia grimaced. “It seems like they’re counting the double bed as two beds.”

Daniel asked the first logical question, “Is it possible to separate them?”

“Let’s try,” Mia offered.

They were trying to inspect the beds and separate them.

“They can’t be separated. They’re not simply pushed together,” Daniel concluded.

“I think it’s big enough; it’s a huge double bed. Maybe it would be possible to sleep here comfortably,” Mia suggested, looking at the bed speculatively.

“I’m not sure about that,” Daniel voiced his doubts.

“Maybe we could go and give them back the gold card,” Mia suggested.

“I don’t know ... I’m thinking about how much we could enjoy for free and how much money we would have left after everything,” Daniel contemplated.

“Yes, I’m thinking about that too,” Mia agreed.

“Nice, I’ll sleep with my sister, haha.”

“This is my side of the bed, so you can’t cross this line, okay?”

“Agreed.”

“Okay, now we have to unpack and put everything together.”

They unpacked.

After a while...

“Okay, now we can go out. Today I want to explore. I want to visit all the beaches and all the places, but not stay in one place. Tomorrow we can go to a beach and stay there,” Mia suggested.

“Okay, we can go,” Daniel agreed.

Mia and Daniel took a long walk around the resort. Whenever and wherever they wanted, they could jump into the sea and go to another place. It was getting late, and they couldn’t visit all the amenities anyway.

“It’s so good here. I haven’t decided which beach I want to go to tomorrow yet,” Mia declared.

“Maybe we’ll find something else tomorrow. Now let’s go to the room and get ready for dinner,” Daniel suggested.

“No, wait, I still want to swim,” Mia pouted.

Mia went back into the water. Daniel followed her.

It was almost 10 p.m. by the time they were changed and went down to the restaurant for dinner.

Mia’s stomach grumbled. “Oh, I’m starving.”

“You’re finally going to start eating like a normal person, haha.” Daniel teased Mia.

“Fuck you.”

“You can drink alcohol here like normal adults, you know?”

“Really? We can drink wine together.”

“Yes, but you can only have one glass.”

“Come on.”

“Mom and Dad gave me the task of taking care of you, so...”

“No, forget about it. I’m free to do what I want,” Mia groused.

“We’ll see,” Daniel replied and sighed.

They enjoyed their dinner, and they also drank a bottle of wine between them. Mia drank two glasses while Daniel drank the rest. It was almost midnight when they left the restaurant.

“Do you want to go walking or visit a club?” Daniel asked.

“I think I’m too tired,” Mia admitted.

“I told you, you can only have one glass. Haha.”

“No, I’m not drunk. I’m just tired. It’s only the first day...”

“I know, I’m just kidding. I’m tired too. Let’s go to the room.”

They were ready for bed.

“So, be careful not to cross this line,” Mia reminded Daniel.

“Haha, of course.”

They started watching a movie, but soon they both fell asleep.

Day 7

Daniel and Mia woke up at the same time. They were both in a good mood. Why shouldn’t they be? Nothing stopped them from doing what they wanted and enjoying themselves. They soon went downstairs for a late breakfast and coffee.

“After a breakfast like this, I don’t need lunch,” Mia declared.

“True. What do you want to do today?” Daniel was excited to set the program for the day.

“Today I want to lie on the beach all day, sunbathe, and swim until dark. That’s what people do here.”

“Ok, not bad. Which beach do you want to go to?”

“Any beach will do, as long as the beach bar is very close or someone serves drinks on the sun loungers.”

“I think they bring food and drinks from the beach bar near where we passed last night.”

“We’ll see.”

A little after noon, Mia and Daniel went to the beach. They reached the nearest main beach and stopped in front of the beach bar. A 100-meter stretch of sandy beach was in front of them, and many people were already there. A beach bar employee approached them. “Hello, I am Alex. What can I do for you?”

“Hello, we’re looking for free sun loungers with umbrellas,” Daniel took the initiative.

Alex looked around and shouted, “Rita, ¿Este lugar está vacío?”

Rita replied quickly, “Si, siéntete libre.”

“Yes, you can sit there.” Alex motioned towards the loungers.

“Thank you,” Daniel thanked the person from the beach bar.

“And one more question...” Mia approached Alex.

Alex opened the umbrellas. “Here you go. Yes?”

Mia, ever pragmatic, asked, “Can we use the gold card, or do we have to pay?”

Alex paled. “Oh, do you have a gold card? I am sorry. I didn’t recognize you. I really apologize. This girl, Rita, is at your service. And if you need anything, just ask me.”

“Thank you.” Mia smiled.

Mia and Daniel settled down on the sun loungers. They glanced back. Alex said something to Rita and pointed at them.

“Haha, he thinks we’re some kind of celebrity.” Daniel laughed effortlessly.

“This golden card is probably only given to rich and famous people,” Mia wondered.

“Okay, from now on I’m a member of a popular rock band, and you’re my girlfriend,” Daniel joked.

“No, I’m the most popular YouTuber, and you’re my friend,” Mia quipped.

“Just a friend? Haha.”

“Yes, haha.”

At that moment, Rita came up to them.

“Excuse me, I’m Rita. Would you like a drink or something else?”

“Oh yes, a non-alcoholic cocktail, please,” Mia named her drink.

Daniel joined Mia. “A cold beer, please.”

Soon Rita brought the drinks and kindly served them.

“Rita, let me ask you something,” Mia started, looking at Rita.

“Yes, Miss.”

“Is it safe to leave things here while we go to the sea?”

“Yes, Miss. Since I’ve been here for the past year, we haven’t received a single report of stolen items. Over and above the lifeguards and waiters, this beach is also patrolled by guys who ensure no one steals our things.”

“Oh, that’s nice. Thank you.”

“Okay, let’s go to the sea,” Daniel suggested.

When they came back from the sea and dried off, Mia took out the sunscreen and started to apply it to her body.

“You’ll have to use this oil, or your skin will burn,” Mia cautioned Daniel.

“Yes, I know,” Daniel declared.

“Later, you’ll apply oil to my back, and I’ll apply yours.”

“No problem.”

After a while...

“Okay, let me put oil on your back,” Mia told Daniel.

Mia took the sunscreen and applied it to Daniel’s back. At that moment, Rita came over.

“Excuse me, if you want, there is a guy in our business who provides body massage and massage services with a special oil. Your skin will be darker after 2 days,” Rita informed us.

“No thanks, it’s not necessary,” Daniel declined.

“Hmm, interesting,” Mia replied.

“Let me know if you would like to use his services,” Rita reacted sweetly.

“Haha, you refused because it’s a man, haha. If she had offered a massage, I would have accepted for sure,” Mia needled Daniel.

“I can’t imagine a man touching my body,” Daniel replied flatly.

“I didn’t know you were such a homophobe.”

“No, I’m not. I just can’t stand a man touching me.”

“That’s primitive thinking.”

“I’m sure you would like that guy to give you a massage.”

“Mmm, yes, I would.”

“I believe you.” Daniel gave a wicked smile.

“Shut up and rub the oil on my back.” Mia huffed.

Daniel took the oil and oiled Mia’s back.

“Just my back. I can do the rest myself, so get the fuck off my ass,” Mia retorted.

“Haha. After sunbathing, you’ll look like a zebra with those white parts,” Daniel smirked.

“Hah, as if I could do anything about it.”

“I don’t mind if you take off your swimsuit top. Half of the women here have bare breasts.”

“But not on this public beach.”

“Why not? Everyone would think you were a man anyway. Ha-ha-ha,” Daniel said, alluding to her small breasts.

“Fuck you, Daniel. Yes, I’m flat and proud of it. At least I’m not fat.”

“Come on, Mia, I’m just kidding.”

“Fuck you and your stupid jokes. Next time, make a joke about yourself.”

“And I will.”

When the sun went down, most people left the beach; only a few remained. Rita and another guy were putting away the sunbeds and umbrellas. Rita approached them and gave them her spiel again: “So, if you want to get the best possible preparation for sunbathing, you can visit the salon on the other side of the hotel, on the way to the aquapark. We’ll be there between 8 and 12.”

“Maybe, thanks.” Mia smiled.

Daniel turned to Mia and asked, “Does she work there too?”

“They probably both work together. Are you interested now?”

“Well, I’m just asking...”

“Yes, of course.”

“Ok, we can go now; there won’t be any more sun. It’ll be night soon.”

The music from the beach bar got louder. Many people were sitting outside, and the smell of fast food wafted around them.

“I feel like I could stay here and sleep all night, but this smell makes me hungry,” Mia stated, her stomach grumbling.

“I’m hungry too. Let’s eat here,” Daniel suggested.

“Yes. Why not?”

They just moved to the beach bar and sat outside.

“It’s quite a party atmosphere inside. I’m not a fan of this Latin house music, but now...” Mia commented.

“Yes, this kind of ambiance suits this kind of music and vice versa,” Daniel agreed.

At that moment, Alex came in and hurried to them.

“Sorry for keeping you waiting; my waiters are a little slow today. How was your day?” Alex inquired respectfully.

“It was so good, I could stay here forever.”

“I’m glad you like it. What can I do for you?” Alex gave a slight bow.

“I want a pizza,” Mia replied, showing the item with her finger on the menu.

Daniel joined Mia. “Yes, me too.”

Alex took the menus and said, “Coming up!”

When Alex left, they heard him start shouting at the waiter, “¿Por qué esperan estos invitados? ¿Sabes quiénes son? Cuídalos. ¿Las celebridades deben tener un trato especial?”

“It seems he’s shouting at the waiter because of us. It seems he’s the boss here,” Daniel observed.

Mia nodded. “Yes, it seems so.”

Soon, the waiter brought the pizzas.

“Here are the pizzas, and the bartender has prepared a special cocktail for you,” the waiter said, putting the fancy cocktails in front of them.

“Oh, thank you, so kind,” Mia replied and smiled flirtatiously.

Daniel was more stoic. “Thank you very much.”

Daniel and Mia ate the pizza and drank the cocktail.

“Shall we have another one inside?” Daniel offered.

“Why not? I’d love to,” Mia agreed.

They went inside, if one could call it inside, since the whole place was actually outdoors, just lined with reeds. They had another cocktail and danced.

“It’s so good. I feel so free ... I’m drinking, I’m dancing...” Mia enthused.

“Yes, it’s liberating. Mmm,” Daniel hummed appreciatively.

The music was loud. When they wanted to talk, they had to get closer to each other.

“How will I know when I’m drunk?” Mia asked.

“If you have another one, you will be, haha.”

“No, I’m fine now.”

“Even better, haha.”

Daniel thought, Two cocktails were enough for her. She’ll be drunk if she drinks more.

They stayed in the club for a while longer. Still, after a whole day on the beach and an evening at the bar, they were tired.

Mia was winded. “I can only dance more if I have another drink, but that won’t happen today.”

“Yes, we should go to our room,” Daniel agreed.

Mia nodded. “I agree.”

They soon entered the room, used the bathroom one after the other, and went to bed. The hotel had excellent satellite television with hundreds of different TV channels. Daniel picked up the remote and changed channels.

“What do you want to watch?” Daniel asked.

“Whatever.”

“Okay.”

Daniel continued to surf the channels. He changed them one by one until he came across a porn channel.

“Wow!” Daniel exclaimed.

“Hmm,” was the only response Mia gave.

“Is this okay? Do you mind?” Daniel asked apprehensively.

“Whatever. I’ll fall asleep soon anyway.”

“If you’re uncomfortable, I’ll change it.”

“Stop treating me like a child. We’re adults. I’m not that big of a fan of it, but I’m fine if you want to watch it.”

“Okay, okay.”

They watched porn in silence.

Daniel had second thoughts. This might have been a mistake. Now I’m horny, and I can’t do a thing about it. If I go to the toilet, she’ll know ... Do girls get horny watching this? Is she horny too?

“If you want, we can find another category,” Daniel offered.

“I don’t know. All those porn stars look too perfect; look at their bodies, fake tits, fake mouths, giant penises ... I think it’s much better to watch some normal people,” Mia voiced her opinion.

“You mean the amateur category?”

“Yes.”

“Well, this is a smart TV. We can find something on the internet.”

“Whatever.”

“Ok, I’ll choose one, and you choose the next one.”

“Okay,” Mia agreed.

Daniel found a video titled “Giant Female Orgasms.”

“Oh damn. Is that real?” Mia sounded skeptical.

“I think so,” Daniel pondered.

It was Mia’s turn. She chose “First time in public.”

“Oh, haha. They’re bold and fearless. I wouldn’t do that,” Daniel stated.

“Haha, neither would I.”

They watched a few more porn videos.

Daniel was out of sorts. Now it’s going to be hard to fall asleep. When she falls asleep, I’ll go jerk off in the toilet. If not ... I’ll be in trouble.

They turned off the TV, but they didn’t fall asleep that quickly. Both of them wanted the other to fall asleep, but that didn’t happen. Finally, after much turning and tossing, they both fell asleep.

Day 8

As expected, Daniel and Mia woke up around noon.

Daniel was grouchy. Jesus, I barely slept last night; my dick was hard as a stick. Now, I’m all sticky and sweaty. I’m going to take a shower. Daniel got up, but then...

“Ha-ha-ha-ha,” Mia laughed with abandon.

“What are you laughing at?” Daniel asked.

“Your skin, haha.”

Daniel looked down sheepishly. I thought she was laughing at me because of my morning erection.

“What about my skin?” Daniel asked.

“You have 3 colors on you, haha.” Mia laughed.

“Excuse me?” Daniel looked in the mirror. And indeed his skin was 3 colors: white, red, and brown. “Oh, fuck. It’s because of that suntan oil. How did you put it on me? Look, the red parts weren’t oiled at all.”

“And the white parts weren’t in the sun at all,” Mia added.

“Ha-ha-ha, look at your face. You look like some national flag, ha-ha.”

“Oh no, damn it.”

“Looks like we should have accepted that offer, haha.”

“Looks like. I’ll be embarrassed like this in front of people.”

“Because they think we’re famous?”

“No, not only that ... But I have a lot of red skin, and it’s burning a little.”

“Yeah, when you’ve been lying in the sun all day...”

“Hm, who cares? Let’s go there. I want to sit at that beach bar and have a coffee.”

“Okay, let’s go.”

Soon, Mia and Daniel arrived at the beach bar and sat at a table under an umbrella. Alex immediately came over to them.

“Hi, what can I do for you today?” Alex asked attentively.

“Hi, do you have fruit salad?” Mia asked.

“Of course, we have the best fruit salad. And for you, sir?” Alex turned to Daniel.

“I just want some breakfast, and please don’t call me sir. I’m Daniel.”

“Yes, sir, sorry, Daniel, I’m Alex.”

“And I’m Mia,” she chirped.

“Oh yes, Mia, I know ... I forgot ... I know you don’t want to be recognized here. I guarantee your discretion.” Alex’s voice was smooth as velvet.

“Thank you, Alex.”

“Oh, your skin ... Rita, Rita, Archie, come here, come here!” Alex yelled.

Rita and Archie came right away, and Alex continued his barrage of words: “¿Por qué no les ofreciste un tratamiento solar? ¡Mira su piel! Sabes que la piel blanca de los gringos es muy sensible.”

Rita replied, “Lo hice, pero ellos no quisieron.”

Rita looked at them closely, then stated, “It’s not that bad, some parts are burnt, though. The sun is harsh here. The suntan oil you’re using is not good. Does the burn feel really bad?”

“Well, it just tightens up. I’ll buy some proper oil at the pharmacy,” Mia offered.

“No, they only sell chemicals; that’s why it happens. You have to use natural things,” Rita offered her advice.

“I have to agree with you,” Mia said solemnly.

“Okay, we can’t do anything today. We must be at the beach, but come to the salon tomorrow morning. We’ll prepare you for the sun with our natural products,” Rita suggested.

“Well, we will. Right, Daniel?” Mia responded.

“Yes, if you say so...” Daniel smiled.

“Don’t be in the sun today; stay inside,” Rita offered her sage advice.

“You can go on a trip to the mountains. My friend is a tour guide; he also works for a resort. It’s breathtaking, beautiful nature, waterfalls, and only an hour’s drive,” Alex suggested.

“Sounds good,” Mia responded, looking at Daniel.

“Okay,” Daniel confirmed Mia’s choice.

“He goes twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. If you want, I’ll call him to book a seat for you,” Alex offered.

“Sure,” Mia agreed, giving a thousand-watt smile.

“And if your skin burns, just spread yogurt on it,” Rita suggested.

“Yogurt?” Daniel asked in a disbelieving tone.

“Yes, it’s the best natural remedy for sunburned skin. Yogurt contains good bacteria that work well in the human intestines and also work on the skin.” Rita smiled.

“Wow, I didn’t know that, thanks,” Mia said, admiration evident in her voice.

“Okay, so ... see you tomorrow.” Rita waved.

Alex booked their seats and soon brought their order. After a while, Mia and Daniel returned to the room and prepared for an unplanned trip to the mountains. They enjoyed spending the afternoon in the fresh air in the forest, visiting waterfalls, trying local specialties, and seeing various types of flora and fauna for the first time. Full of positive impressions, they returned to the resort.

“It was great. I started to love nature,” Daniel enthused, grinning.

“It was also time for you to come to your senses,” Mia grumbled.

“Shall we go for a drink now, or do we return to the room first?”

“I’m tired of the fresh air and the altitude difference, but I want to go to the bar for a drink. I like that place.”

They went to the beach bar. When he saw them, Alex brought them cocktails without having to ask.

“How was it?” Alex inquired.

“It was great; it’s so wonderful,” Mia enthused and smiled.

“I’m glad you liked it,” Alex replied.

At that moment, a man accidentally pushed Daniel, and his glass spilled on Mia. Alex immediately reacted and called the security guards, who made the man apologize to them. Alex said something to the security guard, and they continued to watch them.

“Thanks, Alex, but it really wasn’t a problem, and it wasn’t intentional,” Daniel tried to defuse the situation.

“Well, your girlfriend had to get an apology,” Alex protested.
