On Vacation Novels & Stories

Luke's parents wanted for the whole family to go on vacation. I can see this vacation having drama, especially since Val and Matt will have to spend two weeks in Hawaii. Let the fun begin. "Violet, we're going on vacation, not live there." I said as I looked at her suitcase filled with toys and no clothes. She giggled. "Mommy, my toys need to be with me. They'll be lonely." She pouted as she gave me her puppy eyes.

Leo finally swallowed his food and had the chance to speak but was already filling his plate with more food "Well some people I know at the office " Nathan said and I was finding it hard to keep myself from laughing at the drama that was playing out. "Oh okay. Where are they going to go to? I heard from my friend in school that vacations are very fun and I told him that I haven't gone on one before "Haven't been on a vacation before buddy?" Nathan looked at me and I shrugged. Of course he hadn't, we didn't have money to even afford three square meals talk more of a vacation.

“I'm too busy for that. And so are you.” He shrugged. “Isn't that the point?” “What's a vakiation?” Imogen asked. “It's like, uhm, a period of time where you don't work or do anything serious. You just relax and have fun.” “Really?” Her face lit. “Does that mean mummy won't be working and she'll have time to spend with me?” “Wha-What?” My brows furrowed. “I spend a lot of time with you, don't I?”

Then the vacation came, finally, a break from all the academic stress we’d been drowning in. We planned to spend it at our family’s rest house up in the province; a quiet place surrounded by tall trees and green fields, far from the noise and prying eyes in the city. Originally, our parents were supposed to come with us. But just a few days before the trip, Vance’s dad got called away for an unexpected business trip, and he decided to bring my mom along with him for a little getaway too. That left just the two of us alone.

I take a picture, help her change into her house clothes, quickly change myself, then take her to the hospital for x-rays. “Baby, do you want to go on a vacation?” “Where?” “Anywhere. I was thinking Greece is pretty this time of year. You don’t need to go back to school. I’m not allowing it, and I can take time off of work.” “Will Daddy come?”

"Our mom and dad vacation is in 34 days, right?" Mom and dad vacation was our one week a year where we let Merry stay with her grandparents and we went off to be husband and wife. In early days, we went to places like tropical islands. This year, we were going to Napa and San Francisco to drink wine, sleep in a quaint BnB, and visit museums in the city. "We can still cancel the Bay Area thing," she said. "How about we go to the resort next door to where we went in the Caribbean?"

My response was a feigned polite smile. Later when we'd finished eating and were now lounging in the living room, Leah began, “I think our next vacation should be in Turks and Caicos Islands.” “This vacation is barely halfway and you're already thinking about another one,” Benjamin huffed affectionately, causing Violet to giggle. As I watched the three of them from the sofa where I was perced on beside Leah, I felt out of place. I had never felt so alone in my life the way I did right there and then.

Rue “A Trip?” My voice comes out much louder than I intended it to, and when a few pairs of eyes come to rest on my mother and me, I give an apologetic smile. “Rue, honey,” my mother sighs. “Is it really that hard for you to go on a vacation with us?” “Of course not,” I tell her, but inside I’m screaming yes. “It’s just that I have my internship and…” “And you’re on spring break right now.” My mother counters, stopping me before I can even make an excuse. “And the vacation is only for five days. We are going to a paradise island that Leo’s family owns.”

"Seminar? I don't have any. We are travelling to Hawaii for a vacation." I stared at him, stupefied by his response. Three days vacation in Hawaii. Alone with Vernon. God help me.

“You need a break.” “A what?” I gaped at my father, mouth wide enough to catch flies. “Take a week off, go on vacation.” He smiled widely. “But what about work?” “Leave that to me. I may be retired but I still own the company.” He chuckled with a shake of his silver locks. I hesitated, it was obvious how much I was contemplating my father’s words. I shook my head, “I’m going away next week with Oli and Naomi.” Giovanni’s eyes widened with both surprise and shock but when I looked back at my father, he knew exactly what time of the year it was.
