"are you sure you're okay? because if you don't want to do any of the activities today, i understand. i don't even wanna face kourtney today." i said to callum as he walked out of the bathroom.

callum emerged from the bathroom, now dressed in a casual t-shirt and shorts. he paused, sensing my concern. he walked over to me and placed a gentle hand on my shoulder. "i'm alright, really. i don't want kourtney to ruin our whole vacation."

i looked up at him, searching his eyes for any hint of discomfort or pain. he seemed genuinely stoic, but i couldn't shake the nagging feeling of worry. "but your chin... it still looks red."

callum touched his chin gingerly, wincing slightly. "yeah, it's a bit sore, but it's alright. it'll heal." he reassured me, trying to minimize the extent of his injury.

i sighed, still uneasy about him going about his day without properly recovering. "maybe you should take it easy today. just to be safe." i suggested gently.

callum shook his head stubbornly, clearly not wanting to back down. "i'm not gonna let kourtney's drunken antics ruin my vacation. besides, i'm used to playing through pain, remember?" he said jokingly.

"you played football back in highschool callum, that was like...over 10 years ago." i said.

callum chuckled, rolling his eyes at my statement. "yeah, yeah, i know. but the pain tolerance stays, trust me." he replied, trying to shrug off my concern.

"i'm sorry." i said softly, avoiding eye contact.

callum immediately noticed my change in demeanor and stepped closer, gently lifting my chin so i would look at him. "hey, why are you apologizing? you didn't do anything wrong."

i sighed and shrugged, "i feel partly responsible. i mean i did ask you to help her get to the villa."

callum's expression softened as he looked at me, his eyes filled with understanding. "kacey, you didn't force me to do anything. i chose to go. it's not your fault."

i couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt. "i know, but it was still my idea." i mumbled, my voice quiet.

callum gently cupped my cheek, his thumb tracing soft circles. "stop blaming yourself. kourtney was the one who got drunk and threw a punch. that's on her, not you." he said firmly.

i took a deep breath, his words a small comfort. "i guess you're right. i just can't help but feel guilty, ya know?" i admitted.

callum nodded understandingly. "i understand, but you don't need to feel responsible for kourtney's actions. she's a grown woman and she needs to deal with the consequences of her choices." he said, his tone gentle yet firm.

i leaned into his touch, feeling some of the guilt and worry melting away. "yeah, i know. i just hate seeing you hurt." i said, my voice soft.

callum gave me a small smile. "i appreciate your concern, but i can handle a few punches." he teased, trying to lighten the mood.

DINING HALL
bora bora, french polynesia
9:30am

we made our way to the dining hall, the rest of the family already seated. kourtney, travis and rocky were absent, which came as no surprise to either of us.

khloé caught sight of us as we approached and waved us over. "morning, lovebirds." she said, a sly smile on her face.

i rolled my eyes at her comment, while callum just chuckled. "morning, khloé." i greeted as we took our seats.

"now callum, i heard that kourtney punched you last night. guess i left at the wrong time, huh?" scott said jokingly.

callum laughed good naturedly, but you could see the slight wince of pain in his expression. "yeah, you missed all the action." he said, playing along with the banter.

khloé shook her head, rolling her eyes at scott. "you would've been useless, anyway. you would've probably just made it worse." she quipped.

scott feigned offence at khloé's comment, placing a hand over his heart. "hey, i'm good in a crisis." he protested with a smile.

kendall laughed before speaking, "how are you feeling, callum?"

callum shrugged, downplaying the pain. "i'm doing alright. just a bit sore, nothing i can't handle."

kim, ever the observant one, noticed the slight grimace on his face when he moved his jaw. "yeah, you look alright. just don't smile too wide, or your chin looks like it might burst open." she teased.

khloé snickered at kim's comment, while callum feigned annoyance. "yeah, yeah, very funny." he retorted dryly, clearly used to being the target of their jokes.

"but seriously, how's the pain level?" kendall asked, her tone more serious than before.

callum shrugged again, not wanting to make a fuss. "it's manageable. just a bit tender when i move my jaw too much." he replied, his stoicism impressive.

i could tell callum wasn't too happy with the topic of the conversation so i changed it, "hey, where's kourtney?"

kim shrugged. "she's probably hiding in her villa, embarrassed about last night." she said with a smirk.

"well what's on the agenda for today?" kylie asked before taking a sip from her mimosa.

khloé checked her phone, scrolling through her notes. "today's pretty chill. we've got some spa treatments, a cooking class, and a boat ride after lunch." she reeled off. "oh and the spas are gonna be private and in everyone's villa."

callum raised an eyebrow, "spa?"

scott chuckled at callum's unexpected reaction. "yeah, don't act like you're too cool for a spa treatment." he teased.

callum rolled his eyes at scott's comment, but there was a hint of a smile on his face. "i'm not saying i'm too cool for it, i've just never done it before." he admitted.

kylie who's main focus was on her kids spoke up. "what are the kids gonna do? they can't get a spa."

khloé chuckled at kylie's question. "oh, don't worry about the kids. i have a whole schedule planned for them. they're going to some activity center for the day with the nannies."

kim chimed in, a smirk on her face. "yeah, we thought it would give us all a break from the little ones for a bit."

VILLA VILLAGE
SPA
bora bora, french polynesia
9:15am

as we entered our temporary home we were met by the masseuse. the scent of essential oils hung in the air, filling the room. soft, soothing music played in the background, adding to the tranquil environment. i caught a glimpse of callum looking slightly dubious about the entire experience.

the masseuse greeted us with a warm smile and gestured us toward the massage tables. i hopped onto mine, the soft fabric of the towel beneath me welcoming. i turned to look at callum, who seemed a bit reluctant.

"hey, you okay?" i asked him.

callum nodded, a slight hesitance in his expression. "yeah...i'm just not used to this kind of pampering." he replied, his gaze flickering around the dimly lit room.

the masseuse, sensing his trepidation, smiled reassuringly. "don't worry, you're in good hands. just relax and let us take care of you." she said, her voice calm and soothing.

callum took a deep breath and finally settled onto the massage table. i could see the slight tension in his shoulders as he tried to relax.

as the masseuse started working on me, i couldn't help but steal a glance at callum. he was lying rigid, his eyes still darting around the room. i chuckled softly, amused by his reaction.

"you look tense," i teased him, my voice soft.

he shot me an annoyed glare before replying. "i'm not used to strangers touching all over my body, alright?" he retorted, his cheeks slightly flushed.

i chuckled again, enjoying his mild embarrassment. "just relax, it'll be over soon." i reassured him, still letting the masseuse work on my shoulders.

after a few minutes of silent treatment, callum finally began to relax. his shoulders dropped and his expression softened. he closed his eyes, succumbing to the soothing touch of the masseuse.

~~

about an hour later, the masseuse had finished our treatments. i rose from the massage table, feeling completely relaxed and rejuvenated. i glanced over at callum and chuckled at his dazed expression.

his body was practically boneless as he lifted himself into a sitting position, a content smile on his face. he blinked a few times, seemingly regaining his bearings. "that was...different." he admitted.

i chuckled, not surprised by his response. "told you. pampering isn't so bad after all, is it?" i teased.

callum let out a breath, stretching his arms above his head. "yeah, i guess it wasn't terrible." he conceded begrudgingly.

"thank you, ladies." i said to the two masseuses who had worked diligently.

callum smiled at the masseuses, remembering to tip them appropriately for their services. he withdrew his wallet, ensuring sufficient funds for the local currency. he then handed them a generous tip, expressing his gratitude. the masseuses smiled appreciatively, thanking him for his gesture.

i watched the interaction, my heart swelling at his thoughtfulness. i knew that tip meant a lot to them, even more so considering we were on vacation.

callum turned to me, a satisfied look on his face. "i'll never underrate the power of a good massage again." he said, a smirk tugging at his lips.

i laughed, rolling my eyes at him. "you're such a sceptic." i teased, looping my arm through his.

DINING HALL
COOKING CLASS/LUNCH
bora bora, french polynesia
11:45am

we entered the dining hall, the enticing aroma of local cuisine filling the air. lunch was an interactive experience, as we had signed up for a cooking class. the kitchen had been transformed into a makeshift classroom with cooking stations set up.

the chef, standing in front of the counter, began a brief introduction. "bienvenue! welcome to our cooking class. today, we will be making traditional taiti dishes." she explained, eyeing us with an eager smile.

the class was a mix of laughter and occasional bickering as we attempted to follow the chef's instructions. callum, always a little competitive, was determined to do well, which i found both endearing and hilarious.

kim, was carefully measuring every ingredient while scott, on the other hand, was adding spices with no finesse. khloé simply added a touch of her own flair, disregarding the instructions entirely. both kendall and my mom were working diligently while kylie and timothée were flirting more so than cooking.

callum, unsurprisingly, took the lead in our duo. he was carefully chopping vegetables, his movements sharp and precise. i watched him with a mix of amusement and admiration.

"you're enjoying this, aren't you?" i teased him, watching him effortlessly chop a bell pepper.

"what can i say, i'm a natural cook." he retorted, a smirk on his face as he expertly sliced a tomato.

~~

after about an hour of cooking and a lot of laughter, we finally sat down to taste the fruits of our labor, or rather fumbled our way through cooking. our makeshift culinary masterpieces (or disasters) were laid out on the table.

we tried our best to critique each other's dishes without being too harsh. kim's dish had too much salt, scott had undercooked his meat, and khloé's creation looked questionably different.

despite the mixed results, we managed a few compliments, mainly for callum's and my dishes. our efforts yielded something edible unlike some of the others. callum couldn't help but boast a bit when we were complimented for our meal.

the chef made her way around the room, offering feedback and constructive criticism. she stopped at callum and i, eyeing our plated food. "this looks very delicious," she said, a hint of surprise in her voice.

callum smiled, a satisfied look on his face. "see, what did i tell you? i'm a natural." he bragged, earning a slight eye roll from me.

"well, you seem to have some hidden talents here." the chef commended before moving on to the other groups.

we sat down with our group to devour our creations. callum's ego had visibly inflated after the chef's comment, and it showed through his smug smile. i chuckled, shaking my head at his overconfidence.

WATER
BOAT RIDE
bora bora, french polynesia
1:15pm

"you know who would love this?" i said to callum as i leaned back on the boat.

callum looked at me, a curious smile on his face. "who?" he asked, his hand coming to rest on my thigh.

"bear." i answered with a smile, "he would absolutely adore this."

callum let out a laugh, imagining our dog on the boat with us. "yeah, he would probably be in heaven right now. swimming, exploring, barking at everything in sight." he joked.

i nodded, "barking yes, lots of barking."

callum chuckled before adding. "he'd probably try to jump overboard to chase the fish too."

i sighed and leaned my head on callum's shoulder. "i miss him."

his arm wrapped around me, pulling me closer to his side. "we'll see him soon. in two days, actually." he reassured me, his voice soft. "plus i'm sure he's having an amazing time with carmen."

i smiled as i thought about my friend, carmen, dog sitting bear. "carmen probably has loads of pictures of him. i'll have to check our messages when we get back to the villa." i mused, picturing bear in the various outfits she was bound to dress him in.

callum chuckled, familiar with carmen's eccentricities. "yeah, prepare yourself for an overload of dog pictures. she probably has a whole album dedicated to him by now."

VILLA VILLAGE

3pm

"today was more chill," i pointed out to callum as he took a seat on the edge of the bed.

callum nodded in agreement, a relaxed sigh escaping his lips. "yeah, no chaos today." he said, a touch of relief in his tone.

"just a relaxing boat ride, some cooking, and massages." i listed off the day's activities, flopping down next to him on the bed.

he smiled, a hint of mischief in his eyes. "and no fights." he joked, referring to the incident with kourtney the night before.

i winced, remembering the chaos. "ugh, don't remind me." i groaned, rolling my eyes.

he chuckled, his hand finding its way to my knee. his touch sent a slight shiver through me. "well, it's not our fault she has a tendency to punch people." he teased.

i chuckled, swatting at his hand playfully. "yeah, she has a weird way of showing affection." i retorted, recalling her overly-aggressive way of expressing herself.
