The People You Meet On Vacation Novels & Stories

“It's a free world, I'm allowed to exist anywhere. I'm here on a short vacation.” I let out a dry chuckle and sipped from my drink again. What's with today and everybody lying? “You happen to be on a vacation in the same state I'm on mine? In the same hotel? Walking in the same lounge? And I'm supposed to believe that's a coincidence?” I asked, not because I was curious, but because it was just ridiculous. “Yes, a total coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you here.” “Yeah right.” I responded dryly.

While I was deep in thought, Vivian said cautiously, "Beatrice, we feel really bad about not taking you with us when we went abroad, so we're planning to take you to Toudland for a vacation. "You've worked so hard all your life and never really had the chance to travel. This is the perfect opportunity for it." Why would they offer something as nice as a vacation? Were they just making another empty promise again? I held my breath, waiting for that familiar voice to appear in my head. However, there was only an eerie silence. I wondered if they really were taking me on a vacation out of the goodness of their hearts. To find out what they were really planning, I agreed to go with them.

They all chorused, excitedly. “That’s good to hear. Firstly, I am going to address an issue, which came up, over the break. Miss Melissa will not be joining us for this vacation as she has to go see her mother, who is far from here. Her mother fell seriously ill. So, in case you are wondering why she isn’t here, and why you haven’t been able to reach her, she is fine. Now, we will be going on our vacation to Summer beach. You are all free to make new connections, and have fun to your satisfaction.” I said, then sat down. Everyone applauded happily, and Kim Mike stood up to make his speech as well.

I'm not scared as this man next to me gave me a weird energy and positive vibes. I smiled. Let's not spoil this vacation for some idiots. Let me enjoy my time with my family. Let me enjoy my time with him. *****

She adds again, scrunching up her face. "Hang on, how the hell do you two know each other?" Sophia looks between Ava and me. "We met on vacation." I add. Sophia looks back at Ava, then back to me. "And we might have met a couple times in London as well." Ava tries to shrug it off, but she has no idea what that little tidbit of information suggests to my sister. Her eyes widen in surprise. The alcohol takes her a couple of moments to compute, and then she does.

After entering the cabin, we sat close to each other, leaning back in our seats without talking, just staring at the night sky decorated with many stars. “The sky is so beautiful,” I said. “Do you like this vacation?” Chris asked. “Yes. I’ve never been on vacation to a villa, soaked in a hot spring, or gone to a carnival, tried all the rides, and bought lots of food. Because my mother had little money, we prioritized the important things first. Vacations, carnivals, and snacks were just secondary needs that didn’t have to be fulfilled. To be honest, my childhood wasn’t very pleasant. I rarely traveled.”

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.

Even though their travel manager had booked separate rooms for Roth and Tristan, Roth was hanging out in Tristan’s room, as he always did until he found a girl on vacation. Usually on the first day of the vacation, Roth would hang out around Tristan so much that Tristan would be in a state of ecstasy.

"Honey listen to me, vacation is not just about souvenirs. What's important is the time we spend together, the experiences we share and the memories we can cherish forever." "But mama, my friends always bring a lot of souvenirs every time they go on vacation." "Yes dear, souvenirs can indeed be an additional memory of our vacation, but what is not more important than the gift is the form of irreplaceable memories that we will bring home together. Mama will definitely find a special, unusual souvenir for you."

She should say something, she thought. "It's fine." That's the only thing she could think of. What else could she think of. They were both strangers and they met in quite an awkward situation. But what was the point of coming for a vacation when she was pushing the first person she could interact with away. She should connect with people, she could run into someone who could land her a job in one of the big publishing houses in the city. Who knows? The waiter came with two trays of the burger treat and returned with another plate of mac and cheese. The food smelled heavenly, even Jaxon didn't hesitate to dig in. She always thought guys were mostly shy around their crushes.
