On Vacation Novels & Stories

"You can go out on weekends and travel abroad on holidays." "Oh." She turned to me with an expectant look. "You're single now. How about we take a vacation together on Independence Day? I'm planning to go to Hawaii." I usually spent that day with Farrell and his family. I'd never visited my parents on Independence Day. I was single, so I had no obligations to my husband. So, it was a tempting offer. "Okay. I haven't been on vacation in a long time. We can have fun there!" I squealed happily.

Ivan scoffed, “For the first time in a long time, we are safe and we have nothing to worry about, no insane wolf trying to kill us, no mad vampires and who knows what else is out there. We have none of that to worry about. Things are back to normal, of course we need to celebrate, we have every reason to.” “You know what? Let’s go on a vacation!” Javier said. I looked at Ivan and he smiled, “Why the fuck not, that’s a good way to start the celebration.” Seeing the boys all fired up was getting me fired up myself, why should we not indulge in the pleasures of life? We deserved it as much as anyone. I smiled, “Guess, it is a vacation then, I will pick the place…how does Monte Carlo sound?”

" She slammed the front door shut as she stormed out, leaving Alfred frowning in silence. Then, he turned and walked toward the bedroom. The closet was empty. The clothes Bella and I usually wore were gone, and the divorce agreement on the desk had my signature on the last page. Alfred was reminded of the social media post he had shared before boarding the plane and the way he had waited at the airport for me to call. Throughout the trip, he checked his phone over and over. Back then, he had thought I was just too cold and stubborn to give him a way out. He had no idea that while he was waiting for a response, we had left.

Bridget's POV I suppressed the emotions churning inside me, walked up to Leonard, and looked him straight in the eye. "You're the ones going on vacation. Why are you swiping my card?" Leonard's expression froze slightly. Before he could respond, Edmond's expression hardened, and he stated matter-of-factly, "We're going on a family vacation, so of course we're putting it on your card. "Miranda and I are old; we don't have much spare cash to begin with. Leonard needs to save his money for serious family business and keeping up with relations. How could we just blow through that?"

For a moment, it felt like we were just two people in the sky, away from reality. “You’re different up here,” I said softly. “Not your usual uptight self.” “I’m off-duty,” he replied. “And I like seeing you relax.” My breath caught at the way he looked at me then, like he wasn’t just talking about small talk and soft laughter. Like he wanted to see what I looked like completely undone. I shifted in my seat, trying to steady my voice. “So what do you actually enjoy doing on vacation?” “Swimming. Hiking. Night drives through quiet towns. Chartering boats. Stargazing. And games.”

Maybe new traditions are exactly what we need. Oliver and Nathan call regularly, checking in without being intrusive. Oliver’s calls usually come in the evenings, filled with updates about the gym and whatever new protein shake flavor he’s convinced is going to change his life. Nathan sticks to weekday mornings, ostensibly about work but really just to hear our voices and know we’re okay. On one call, Oliver’s voice comes through the speaker, unusually serious. “You know what you two need? A vacation. Somewhere tropical with umbrella drinks and zero cell phone service.”

It looks like my husband is about to pass out. '"Importantly, we still hang out with each other." That's what the vacation is for. "Sure." He cleared his throat. "Let's do this." •••••

"I'm finally seeing him! I'm finally seeing him!" Aubrey squealed as she got off the plane with Maria and Jessica. They have been on a vacation for a month. They went to more than six countries together. They went on the vacation they talked about on the day of the trial. It was a girls-only vacation just as they planned. Jordan wasn't really excited about the whole thing since he was going to be staying away from Aubrey for a month, but he definitely wanted her to go and have fun.

“What was so lucky about that? Others were busy planning to leave the country. But I will be stuck in the countryside.” I just tapped her shoulder. Sheena seemed to be disappointed about how her winter vacation will be. I smiled to myself. It’s a different thing for me. I was so happy and excited about the summer break. That means I am going to have a lot of time to work during our vacation. Mom would be very busy at that time since it’s a busy season as well. I guess she would not come home. It’s fine as long as she comes home before Christmas. That’s all that matters.

In a blink of an eye, Heaven appears like some ghost looking exhilarated. "Can I be part of this cool girl gang!" Heaven squeals sitting so closely beside Zara. Doesn't she ever have anything important to do with her life other than bump at work after every second to spy on CJ? "So girls, I know you've been wondering why CJ and I have not been around... We've been busy... Well, not really busy. Not to brag, but we went on vacation outside the country on a beautiful beach. Ulala! The things we did on that beach...
