My eyes opened as I instantly rolled over and smiled seeing Zak sound asleep, with messy hair and catching flies.

He's so lush.

I slipped out of bed and covered him properly before grabbing some clothes and hitting the shower. Changing into a striped tank top with denim shorts and sandals. The weather looked nice and I planned on making the best of it, especially in England.

"Morning love." My dad greeted me as I came downstairs.

"Morning." I smiled and looked at my mum.

"You've had that top for years.. It just shows you've not put on any weight."  She spoke.

"That's a good thing.. Right?"

"Hmm.. No Zak?" She asked looking for him.

"Jetlag, he's sound asleep. I've left him in bed.. You don't mind right?"

"Absolutely not, that man deserves a good sleep." My dad spoke

"Who does?" Zak asked coming into the room behind me.

"Uh. I left you asleep." I eyed him.

"Well I noticed you were gone, besides its a nice day." He replied kissing the side of my head.

"Oh let me fix you both breakfast." My mum spoke about to get up.

"Oh Carmel, no please allow me. Would you like a cup of tea?" Zak asked making my mum almost choo at him.

Someone packed the Vegas charm.

"That would be lovely." She smiled.

"You never accept my cups of tea!" My dad laughed.

"Well Zak's different. Yes please darling."

He smiled and headed to the kitchen, my mum waved for me to go and grinned.

I followed behind Zak as he flicked the kettle on and held out his hands waiting for the things to appear. I smiled and set everything out for him.

"Thank you." He smiled and began making my mum a cup of tea.

He stopped and looked at me "I didn't ask your dad." He whispered. I pushed a cup over ready for him to fill.

"Life saver." He whispered.

I watched as he disappeared with them carefully, I waited and heard my mum thanking him.

Smiling I went over to the radio and put on a music station and began making us breakfast whilst dancing around the kitchen.

I didn't know Zak had came back in until I wiggled my bum past earning me a pat on it. I laughed and began making pancakes, American life had wore on me.

"What we having?"

"Pancakes and whatever you can knock up."

"Okay." He began hunting for things whilst I made them on the pan.

'Something about you... Makes me feel like a dangerous woman!'

Zak began laughing as I was dancing behind him holding his hips. He turned as I dipped to the floor bring my bum back into him as I turned.

The song changed making me go back to my pancakes and take them off before putting more batter in.

I was humming along to Maroon 5 waving my hips side to side when Zak took hold of them and rocked with me. I pushed my bum against his groin making his hands hold my hips a little tighter.

"You're naughty." He whispered in my ear and kissed my neck before walking away.

We sat down with pancakes, maple syrup and strawberries.  I couldn't stop wiggling to music as I ate happily.

"Sit still." Zak spoke amused.

"I'm in a really good mood, I can't. And I'm having breakfast with you!" I tickled his face making him laugh and sit back away from my hands.

"What's the plan for today?" Zak asked chewing.

"I wanna go out, I want to do something I haven't done yet and I think you'll really enjoy it." I replied.

"Okay, now I'm intrigued."

"Well I hope you enjoy it.." I frowned before shaking my head and going back to eating my breakfast.

"Hey I was thinking.. You think your mum and dad might enjoy this?" Zak showed me his phone making me look up at him.

"What? Really?"

"Why not? They deserve it right?"

I blinked "Yeah they do but you shouldn-"

"It's done. Oops." He laughed. I rolled my eyes and shook my head with a smile.

"You're trying too hard." I spoke finishing up.

"I just want them to like me. If they don't want it then we can have it. Okay?" He asked making me nod as he brought his plate over.

"Be yourself though and they will love you as much as I do... Or maybe not as much cause that would be weird." I replied and laughed at my stupidity.

After cleaning down the kitchen I helped Zak with his surprise and went with him into the lounge.

My parents looked up, my dad actually put his paper down.

"Maria the last time you looked like that, you told me you cleaned my car with a scour pad."

I giggled and nudged Zak forward as he began to fidget.

"I- I uh.. It was just a thought. I thought maybe.."

I watched him struggle, a man who speaks to millions was a fumbling mess in front of my parents.

"Here.." He gave up trying to explain and simply handed them the pieces of paper we printed off.

They both accepted the pieces of paper at the same time and eyed it up before looking at each other.

"I.. God Zak get this right." He mumbled to himself.

"Carmel I know you're not very well right now and I think that maybe you need a little break. I'm not saying you can't do what you do because this house is incredible and the garden is flourishing amazingly. But I thought that maybe.. Maybe you could go for a pamper or maybe not maybe just relax and have time away? I- I know whilst I'm home I can't fully relax because I know that there are things that need doing. Maybe you feel the same?" Zak asked making her nod in agreement.

"I thought maybe it will be nice if you had a few nights away? To enjoy yourself and yourself Henry. Whilst myself and Maria looked after things here? I don't mean to sound rude so please forgive me if I do sound it. But it's all paid for.. For 3 nights in a hotel and spa with everything paid for.. It just needs you.. You two." Zak finished and looked at me worried.

My mum placed the piece of paper down and stood up before grabbing his face and kissing his cheek.

"You are the most precious thing in the world. But it's too much."

"They do archery." My dad spoke making my mum look at him.

"Henry."

"They had hairdressing, a sauna, a swimming pool.." He began rattling off things that the hotel did.

"It's all been paid for and the money is non- refundable. I just want you both to enjoy yourselves and I feel terrible for last night causing such a scene." Zak said making my mum look between him and my dad.

"Oh go on then." She sighed giving in quickly.

Zak grinned and returned the kiss on the cheek before smiling at me.

"Thank you so much Zak. You're a darling.. Maria I approve.. If there's a future of marriage,"

"Mum." I sighed.

"I approve." She repeated and looked at my dad.

"Put the paper down. We have packing." She smiled brightly and left the room.

My dad blinked and watched her leave before standing up and grabbing Zak's hand shaking it hard.

"She hasn't smiled properly since she's been diagnosed. Thank you son." He gave Zak's hand another shake and left the room.

I looked at Zak and smiled.

"That went really well." He breathed out.

"Thank you so much for your big generous heart." I gave him a kiss and a cuddle.

"Hear what your mum said? I'm husband material." He chuckled.

"Oh don't start." I giggled in his neck.

But I agreed, he was husband material and I hoped that he would be my husband material one day in the future.
