// First Morning In Bahamas //

*Ted's Point Of View*

I woke up pretty early this morning. It's 6am, probably cause its the first day of vacation or... I came downstairs thinking all these and then, "you're awake, samurai! how are you doing today", I said, pouring water from the fridge.

"Yeah! Going to be alright I guess", Samantha puts her phone upside-down and started drinking the Cranberry Juice, I guess it was the one I gave to Holy.

"Now, Let's start", I said looking at Samantha. I sat down infront her. "Where did it go wrong for Steven, hmm".

"its just his sense. Its not working properly now. That's all, Ted! When he'll come to his sense, its gonna be fine. I know", Samantha tires to light the talk. But failed completely.

"So, He doesn't like the idea of you, making plans without informing him. And he just always need to know what's happening around you. Right", I questioned her.

"Yes! And I know. He has a point and all that", Samantha said by looking at another direction.

"Actually, He doesn't completely. You're a strong and most independent women both C and I know. Maybe I don't know much. But C's BestFriend!! You could never be any less than that right. I have read about your company. How your Dad started from scratch, failed numerous times and yet, never given up. After both of you girls finished your graduation, He handed over the half of his companies load. You both handled it pretty well and even did your masters in the meantime. Now look at you two! C's CEO and you both be working to open a bakery in Paris. It is your dream right? You wanted to be like "buddy the cake Boss" correct", I finished and started sipping the water again.

Samantha nodded being stunned for a beat and continues, "partially C wanted to have a bakery but along the way of life, it was as my dream. Not ours".

"So, what made her, to let go of that awesome dream? And turn into a CEO", I made a 'whyyyyy did she MAN' face to Samantha, to get her mind off from the fight for now.

"After aunty died, I mean Mrs. Zwer, Holy's mother. She almost gave up everything she loves. Except for the guy she was into back then. His name was Ruben. The Most eligible teen athlete in our highschool. She used to do everything he likes. So one day, she came to me and gave me her mothers belongings and told me to throw them into garbage. First I was pretty shocked, so when I asked her why, she said that Ruben told her this. Because If she kept on holding into these she won't be able to move on or something like that. And I guess thats what influenced her to gave up baking. It was her mother-daughter thing to do, when she was little. I used to spend nights baking in the kitchen along with aunty and Holy. Good ol days", Samantha let a small sighed.

"The way you said all these, I kinda doubt how many years have taken you to get all these outta C's mouth", I shrugged off knowing she'll say that they are best friends so she knows it all.

"that's a tricky stuff. She hardly speaks her heart. So when, one night at out rooftop, both of us where drunk like hell. Like literally wasted, I asked her how does she manage to be so good at these boring things. Because I knew her since like four. So she was like more into artistical stuff then business or even marketing. She told me, everything that she loves reminds of her mother and Ruben. And a lot more. Those are like really secret so won't tell you, you gotta ask her by yourself If you want to know Ted", she informs knowing I'm being way too curious about Holy's life now.

"God! being with sucha persona must be hard for you then samurai", trying hopelessly to change the topic again. Because its getting awkward, ugh

"Not really. She kinda keeps me on track. And whenever I fight with Steven, she used to be like the referee and sort things goodly. But now I see there's someone else, like her", she looks at me and raise her one eye brow.

"Oh please Samurai! We are like south pole-north pole", I assure her saying, "besides, the was we are talking, me and C be literally mute in such situation. Like impossible".

Leaving the chair like so, Samantha stands and said, "Once she's comfortable around you, you'll have the same vibe like I do. She's just unpredictablely awesome".

"I doubt. Btw, lets check C, I did gave her a little warm honey along with the bitter medicines. It was 3:30 in the morning", I started going upstairs.

Samantha nodded and started following me.

I opened the door, it does a cracking sound meanwhile. She's facing the window being covered half in blanket. Samantha walks to infront of her.

"Well well well, If you can't digest then why do you keep sucha hobby of drinking Vodka, man", Samantha said sitting on the small sofa near the bed.

I walk out silently pointing Samantha that I'm gonna call for food now. I let both of them talk for a while and called in for our breakfast. I brush my teeth and splashed a good amount of water to refresh my head and face. Holding a towel on one hand I came outta my room and saw the door of Holy's room was opened. I peaked in and saw Holy, in a sitting position on the bed.

"Feeling any better now", I asked keeping wholesome of my body outta the room and only showing up my head.

She nodded and told me to come in. She started sneezing afterward; Walking around at mid night without a jacket. Well tough lady, now handle it. She tilted her head, leaving a redish cute nose behind. The sneezing stopped.

"GOD BLESS YOU C".

She again nodded and gave me a weak smile. Seems like, Samantha helped her changing Holy's clothes. She's wearing a cute trousers covering her legs from waist to her ankle.

"You like bunnies ha", I asked breaking the silence.

She looks at her deep V neck sleeveless graphite-tee, with the quote written on it saying 'I love bunnies like you', "oh yeah, Sammy likes to twinning our sleepwears. So". Being sick has another charm when it comes to Girls. Sore throat, running redish nose and the cute voice. Holy (¬.¬)!!!!

"you look.... beautiful", I said forgetting that she's not the girl im in a date with and I'm her client.

"I actually thought you would say cute, but then beautiful, really", she askes me while having a 'are you kidding with me' face.

Ugh, God !! Am I sounding creepy or something? Ishhh play it cool, Ted!! "I thought it would be a little bit of confusing to call you cute, you might think im resembling your look with a tinitiny animals we see in geography channel", Seriously Ted?

She is laughing like a dinosaur, wait what?! I mean she's literally laughing her heart out it seems. I hope to see her like these the whole trip.

"Thanks for yesterday! And sorry If I have embarrassed you enough", she tols me, whipping her running nose. God, itsa baby "koala!!"

"where", she starts searching by panning her head fastly here and there.

"what", shit Ted, why are you being sucha dumb. Actually, stay mute inside your head.

She looks at me, narrowing her eyes, "the koala". And she cross her arms.

Act cool, you fool, "oh, I was saying it will be great If we see some koalas here. They are my favorite Kind of animal. So".

"I feel like, its not me who's sick. its you", she points at me, "koalas here, seriously, Mr. Mosby".

Suddenly we heard a Bell. "I think its our breakfast. I will bring your and Sammy's breakfast here okay", I stood up and started to get downstairs.

"bring yours here too", I heard Holy shouting it.

I took in our food treys and organized all the food to sit and eat.

"call Samantha for breakfast, she wasn't downstairs", I said.

Holy came outta bed and sit beside the tea-table near me, "I called her, she says she will eat later. She wants to walk around the beach for now. I think she's upset".

"yeah, I talked to her last night. Steven had been fighting with her about the sudden plan to come here. And I guess thats why when she left us at the airport, to talk to Steven in the flight alone. I even talked to her in the morning", I said cutting the buttered pancake.

"I should give steve a call then, give me five minutes", she stood up and unplugged her phone from charging. "wow, 30 messages from Steve! At 4 in the morning".

"what does He say", I asked having mouth full of pancakes and caramel sauce.

"he's asking me to help him, set a date for Him and Sam. Here", she said being astonished of course.

"trying to make up from the fight ha", I chuckled.

"well im not gonna be a part of it. He be doing these all the time. huh", she put her phone in the charging and sat beside again and started eating.

"I think you should", sipping the orange juice I suggested her.

"really!" her mouth is full of cherry crushed chocolate sandwich.

"well, YES", I forced, "It will make Sam Happy! At least for the rest of the trip. She was telling me, she need you to come outta that working place. She planned this trip for you to be explore the world more, rather than the office and marketing works, so".

"guilt tripping me", Holy confronts.

"whatever you think, I would do the same If she was my best friend who worries about me", well YES guilt tripping you Holy!!

"how would you do that?" she kept stuffing food. Hungry Bird.

"I would call the resort Manager, to get me a beautiful beach table for two. Apart from the crowdy ones. And book a ticket for the lover boy to come here, giving him a good spa day before the date starts. Get my BestFriend into the most beautiful outfit to wear, telling her this dress is for my girl friend. Not letting her know aboutthe surprise. Then ditching her on a club telling her in hiding from a psychopath near the beach area. And when she arrives, bamm, she founds the psychopath. Done", I finished my breakfast too.

"what If she arrives with Police", she looks at me with a 'huh' look.

"okay, I will just tell her I have got Steven cheating on her here in Bahamas", I put all the plates over each other, not ignoring the fact that Holy is still eating. How come she's so fit still!!!

"yeah, then she'll be showing up with a shovel and bam, with a empty grave to put Steve's dead cold body to buried in", finally Holy reached the finish line.

"and will end tearing up, hug you for sucha surprise and bam they be having a nice time", I took the treys and started to go downstairs.

"hug me? how, she knows im ill and not going outta bed. And will definitely not believe the idea of me being excited to go for a shopping, that to in a trip, Mosby", and she went inside the blanket.

With the handful of treys, Holy's Point kept hitting me until the idea finally kicked in.

I left the empty treys on the kitchen table and run upstairs, "you are going on a date with me".

Holy laughed when she heard this, "ahahaha, really Mosby! And you think she'll believe it just like that". Well I know she'll, but the question is, will you go? Ugh Ted focus.

"Only If you tell her, she'll C", I proposed. "call her now, tell her Ted wants me to go for bowling with him, tonight! And He meant it like a date! I'm sure she'll come here and start helping you for like a perfect date. And when you will ultimately push her to talk to me first before you show up, she'll definitely come and find Steve there. Your work's done lady", I run my hands into my hair having an absolute WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER look.

"three questions", Holy shows off her three fingers. "why would I be like, I wanna on a date with you. second, why would she agree to put on a 'date looking attire' instead of me. THIRD and final one, why will she be excited for this 'Ted & Holy Date'. She is supposed to be upset right now, right", she has three good points, including beautiful long fingers. I wonder how does it feel playing with those long beautiful fingers....

"Mosby!!! Hearing me? Or you've lost your ears due to my thrown points", she's tryna be sarcastic, try hard next time.

"no", I Continued. "starting from last, this trip was for you C. She told me, so I know she'll definitely come and show you her excitements instead of her sadness. That's what BestFriends do. Second One, you will tell her that you wanna check whether I check her out longer then 10s or not. If she askes why do you need to see that, you'll say its important to know that's all. NO questions asked. And the first one, you're the first reason why she chose to fight with Steve. She chose your friendship, now you its your turn C. Come on", well the last one is to guilt trip you Holy, sorry.

"guilt tripping me again", she asked and YES im.

"Nope, I just said what is true, that's all".

Holy started thinking of something by looking at my direction. How do I know she's thinking? Well Dear, she is starring at my face. FOR 10minutes now.

End Of Teds Point of View

*Holy's Point Of View*

Knowing all these I ended up agreeing with Ted. Samantha chose me, it's my turn to chose my queen of hearts.

"okay, deal", I said forwarding my hand to seal the deal.

Ted took my hand and started shaking, "okay", He paused. "its a date", he passed me a sweet smile.

DATE 101∑STEP ①

"I called Samantha its urgent. She said that, she's on her way. You better be preparing the date location and all that now. And don't be seen around me until the timing of date comes Mosby", I told Ted as If its my command, pawn. I know I sound crazy but I love the idea of calling him Mosby. It sounds fun and.... whatever.

"sure, give me Steve's number. I'll arrange from his side too, like tickets and all that. cool C", Ted said bringing his phone outta his shorts.

"oh almost forgot. Thanks! Annndd, before you go, waittt... what If she says that im sick and should cancel the Plan for now?", I asked without thinking twice.

"are you sick now? feeling nausea and wanna throw up dead fishes inside you", He said, yuck Ted you are making me vomit.

"no Mosby, I got it", I tilted my head, mumbling 'YES master got it'.

// TOURIST MARKET //

Thank God, Samantha didn't inquire me as much as I thought. She seems quite excited about it, Ted and Me. I guess she's feed up me being the only single ass around her. Wearing these, 

'the City girl One' on Sam and the 'kimono one' on me, we both entered into a small boutique for girls. Its pretty cute from inside, smaller collection of traditional summer tops and more fancy knee-lenth dresses. Not bad.

"what are you thinking, Holy? come here and see this beautiful blue embroidery butterfly pocket dress. I already love it", Samantha started seeing the dress from back to front, top to bottom. Knowing blue's my favorite color.

"umm...", I look at Samantha and look back to the dress. Samantha gets that im tryna see some more. And she keeps looking.

Walking towards this complete outfit including boots and cute neckpiece, "how about this boho looking attire", Sam said.

"umm...", I again make the uncertain face, thinking Steve would faint If she wears exactly the traditional white and red dress. The first time when Samantha and Steve started dating, back in high school. Samantha cried for that particular traditional touched red and white dress. For their first date.

"you serious girl! I thought, you would like these dresses... see blue color is your favorite, so as this combination", meantime judging the fabric of this dress. 

She even brought out somemore dresses, but I knew what I was looking for her.

"you are looking anything in particular, HolyMoly", she started hovering her head here and there with the uncertain look knowing its just a tourist dressing shop, not a mall. 

"how about something in red and white, Sam", I instantly looked away from her and pretend to search something.

Finally, found it. I walked towards a small section of clothes, brought the exact dress I wanted for her. "how about.... this", I hold it on myself.

Looking at me, as If she's looking at a whole new person, she comes near me with a smile full of wonder, "at last, you understood the real value of traditional dates". She hugs me and said, "you will look supper cute in this". She looks at me with a naughty expression, "anddd you seems to enjoy this whole 'Date with Ted' thing, ha".

"oh come on...", I walk past and see these two outfits;

"lets buy these two also, can do your whole twinning thing, what says", I proposed.

Nodding in the affermatite, she even forced me to buy the blue embroidery dress. Which I had to buy. Sam told me to buy some flowers on the way to the date. I even nodded and paid for our clothes.

We came outta the boutique and Sam holds my hand pulling me back from walking, "next...".

"whats next...", I said being blank at this point of out plan.

END OF HOLY'S POINT OF VIEW

DATE 101∑STEP ②

*Samantha's Point Of View*

"its the make over time sissy", I informed holy.

"oh YES YES, Let's go to any salon near us and get ourselves ready", she said being supper excited. I wonder, how come she is so into the yesterday's annoying guy of her, I mean Ted of course.

"I can do your makeup don't worry. But ourselves? where am I going", I asked being clueless.

"I have this amazing plan", she fills the gap between us and continued, "I just wanna check him, like you know".

"well I dunno Holy", I became impatient. "whats on your mind ha", tryna set me up with Ted.

"Just wanna check If he's behaving about the fact that you're the best friend of his date tonight. That's all", she said holding my arms and started to walk.

"ugh Holy!!", I throw my hands in the air saying, " you and your hectic plans". I given up.

"lets get ourselves ready Sammy", she stopped and turned to a small shop around us. It was a salon, great.

"YES PLEASE", I screamed and entered with her, full of energy and excitement.

END OF SAMANTHA'S POINT OF VIEW

DATE 101 ∑FINAL STEP

// At The Beach //

*Ted's Point Of View*

Holy's looking pretty in this blue embroidery dress. "how did you manage to put Sam in that dress", I kept my focus on her enliven look. Divine!!

"trip's over already", I said looking at Samantha, laughing and talking to steve while holding hands.

"ummm... nope, not at all", I waited for Holy to continue why she said such. I paused until she caught my long lost glance at her.

Raising both of my eyes I made the "why" expression.

"then, what's the hurry to know", she looked at Sam and Steve for one last time, smiling, she started walking away.

"hey, C! Where are you going", I stood up on the rock where I was sitting till now.

"to search the bowling valley", she kept her slow pace but walking backwards.

"why?", I came down and started walking to get her.

"Because I have a date, Mosby", she shouted, trying to hold her hairs from floating around randomly in the air by the evening wind, smiling at me.
