The Vacation Switch

Two best friends couples are going on a planned vacation to Australia for two weeks..

Michella and Patrick, who have been together for 5 years.. Danny and Lucy, who have been dating for the last 2 years..

Michella and Lucy have been friends for 10 years and the same goes for Danny and Patrick..

Since Danny and Lucy started dating, they had all begun to go on double dates and when Michella and Lucy made plans together, then the boys would have a guys' night together..

Last year they all went to New York together and decided to make it a thing they would do together each year in the future..

Danny's P.O.V.

When we got to our hotel, we all decided to eat at the restaurant before going up to our rooms on opposite sides on the hotel so we could have some alone time from each other and wouldnt keep running into each other on days when they wanted to just be themselves as a couple..

After having ordered and the food arrived and we started eating peacefully, but suddenly Lucy and Patrick aired an idea that they apparently had been talking about amongst themself for some time before this vacation.. And I was beyound shooked...

"So how about we switch partners for the duration of these two weeks we are here.?" Lucy asked with a tight smile..

"Why..?" I quickly asked..

"Just for fun bro, and get to miss our ladies, but not like us two guys or the girls together .. You with Michella and Lucy with me.." Patrick said, trying to get me to go along with it..

"Fine with me.." Michella said coldly and downed the last of her drink she had ordered with her food..

"We'll let you two think about it and go get another round of drinks.." Lucy said, getting up and Patrick followed right behind her..

"Don't you have a problem with this..?" I questioned Michella, getting more and more angry thinking about it..

"No.. Lucy has always joked about it, so why not let them now that she has gotten Patrick to go along with it.. You don't have to stay with me if you dont want to, I'll just be in my own room and hangout by the pool for the two weeks, getting drunk until we have to go back home.." Michella said and leaned back in her chair..

"I just dont get it.." I said in disbelief..

I couldn't wrap my head around why my girlfriend would have me stay with her best friend and for her to be staying with my friend instead of me..

The more I thought about it, the more mad I got..

Patrick and Lucy got back from the bar with a drink for all of us.. Michella downed hers in a few big gulps and put the empty glass back on the table..

"So..? What do you say babe..?" Lucy asked me and leaned in towards me, batting her eyelashes at me..

"Yeah fine.." I said, trying to sound okay with it.. But I was furious on the inside..

"Really.?" Lucy asked surpriced..

"Sure, why not.." I said with my best fake smile..

"Aw babe, it's going to be fun and we will still get see each other once in a while.. And I think it is going to be good for all of us.." she said and gave Michella a smile..

Michella gave her a drunk, half smile back and continued to watch people going in and out of the restuarant..

"Honey, is it okay we take our room..?" Patrick then asked Michella but that only sobered Michella right up..

"No.. I paid for that room..!" she snorted at him..

Patrick didn't have much of a incomst so Michella had paid for him so we all could go like we planned last year..

"Let them have it, Michella.." I told her and she just huffed as she crossed her arms over her chest..

Lucy and Patrick then went to the room Michella had paid for, and I had a waiter bring Michella and I a drink more before I would take her to the room I had gotten for the vacation..

"Why did you let them have my room just like that.." Michella suddenly blurred out as she sipped her drink..

"I'll show you, come on.." I said, as I got up from my chair and lend her a hand as she got up too..

I laid a 50 dollar tip before we left the table

We went to the elevator and I pressed the button to the floor of the room I had gotten Lucy and I..

Michella absentmindedly swayed from side to side, testing her balance and found it very funny when she would almost fall over..

The elevator stopped and I grabbed our luggage and held the door as Michella fumbled out into the hall..

"Come on Cookie.." I said and went ahead of her to unlock the door to the room.

Cookie was my nickname for her, as in Cookie Monster.. For the 5 years i have known her I found out that she loves sweets and chocolate chip cookies are her favorite..

She would always objeckted to me calling her cookie, but I enjoyed teasing her about it..

And I was trying to lighten my mood as well as hers..

"Don't call me Cookie..!" she childishly said, pouting and stomped her foot down..

"Whatever, come on Cookie.." I chuckled and opened the door that led into the entrance to the penthouse suite..

Michella looked extremely confused when we walked in and I closed the door behind us.. "Why are we back in the lobby.? Didnt we just go up..?" she questioned and rubbed her eyes a few times..

"We did go up.. We are in the penthouse.." I said and walked over to the open living room area and put our luggage down on the big cloud couch in the middle of the space..

The entrace to the room did resemple the lobby a little so I could understand why she would mistaken it when she's drunk..

"Holy..!" Michella started but stopped herself before fineshing her sentence, "Why did they want my room if Lucy and you have booked the penthouse..?" she added, now stunned by the view from the windows..

"Lucy didn't know, so your room was better than the one she expected us to be in for theese two weeks.." I said and walked over to the bar..

Michella was speechless for some time, before then adding, "You must have saved up for a long time for this..?" in awe of the room..

"Not really.." I confessed as I made myself a gin and tonic at the bar..

She looked at me even more stunned, "H-how then..?" she carefully asked..

"I wanted to tell you all when we had drinks after dinner and celebrate, but then Lucy and Patrick pulled this on us, so I didn't feel like sharing the news with them anymore.." I confessed and she just waited for me to continue and tell her what the news is..

"I got promoted to CEO at the company, 2 months ago.." I said with a sad smile, having hoped to have shared the news with my girlfriend, my best friend and his girlfriend..

"Omg... Congratulations Danny, that's amazing..!" Michella exclaimed and jumped up, giving me a hug.. "You really deserve it, with everything you have done at the company since they hired you 3 years ago.." she added as she slowly slipped out of the hug..

"Thank you.." I said with a faint smile.. "I really just wanted to celebrate it with us all together, but those two don't deserve to know it yet.." I added..

"Well, let's go to bed and bitch some more about our partners in the morning.. Sounds good.?" Michella chuckled and yawned right after..

"Sounds good.." I agreed and I went into the master bedroom and got ready to go to sleep..

Michella settled in one of the other bedrooms in the penthouse next to the kitchen..

As I laid down to sleep, my mind wandered and kept thinking about how I hoped that Patrick and Lucy would at least separate the beds for when they sleep..

After an hour or so I somehow I managed to fall asleep, but slept like crap the whole night..
