We walked out of the elevator. Maggie started heading down the corridor. I followed her excited.

   The corridor had red walls and some plants here and there. The doors we passed were all wooden and pretty. I grew more excited by second.

   Maggie turn left; I followed. There were some windows at each side of the walls. I glanced outside without stopping. The blue-green sea was widely visible from there. It was beautiful.

   She stopped outside  a room that was supposed to ours. I grew impatient. She unlocked the door and pushed it open. We instantly hurried inside.

   I had imagined that when we would see the room, we would just scream together. Instead, we just sat there, silent, looking at the beautiful, perfectly decorated room we were going to stay the next days.

   It was ever better than what I had firstly thought. The floor was clear wood. The walls a pretty side of orange, like the sand in the beach. The balcony was huge, I could see in from the door. There was a leather couch in one side, with a small coffee table in front it. On the other side were a pair of search chairs, facing a wooden table , a tray of fruits on its top. The beds were the best part. Both quin-sized, filled with white bed sheets and orange pillows.
   "Holy shit Con,  look at this! " Maggie exclaimed happily.  She quickly dropped the bags on the floor near the door and flopped down on the bed.
   I smiled and flopped down on the other.  I was like sitting on a big pillow. 

   "It is awesome.  The hotel.  Rayong.  Everything is so so so freaking amazing" she said with her face on the pillow.  I just laughed.  She was right.  Everything was perfect. Just her and I. On a paradise resort. I couldn't think of something letter.
   I got up and made my way near the balcony. I looked outside. 
  
The sea was peaceful,  small waves hitting the beach in front of the resort.  Dozens sun loungers meters from the sea. It was a pretty image to see every time you look out side your window.
  
Close to the beach started the biggest pool I had ever seen. Turquoise water filled it. If it was even an it. Some meters from the resort's back entrance,  there was a small tennis court. Next to it was a building,  which I guessed was the spa.  Near it was an other pool with small waterfalls.  The main pool was in the middle.  A small pool bar on it.  The pool continued as canals to the rest of the area,  which was mainly gardens.
 
  In one word?  Paradise.  At least for people like me and my sister. Not that we we're poor. We just,  like many others,  weren't used to luxuries.

   "We should go for swimming. The pool seems fantastic" I said. I usually don't like swimming as I'm not really good at it. But after a long flight , I really wanted something relaxing.
 
"Nah,  I think we should sleep a bit" she said while taking her phone out of her pocket,  probably to check  her messages.

  Matteo would be worried as he was afraid of airplanes. When Maggie told him we would go by plane,  he begged her not to do it.  Lucky me she didn't listen.
 
"I know you wanna sleep,  but come on!" I exclaimed impatiently. Of course she would disagree.  But then I though about how much she has been trough the last days. She tried a lot, I thought.She deserves some sleep at last.I wasn't going to press her. I knew she was tired.

   "You know,  forget it. You sleep. I'll go" I told her and headed towards the bag where we kept our staff for the beach. I took my swimming tracks and hurried to the bathroom, ignoring my sister's complaints.

   I closed the door behind me. I quickly glanced around. The bathroom was fancy as well. A big mirror was right in front of me, with the white sink under it. Two small palm trees at each side of it. 

   I took of my clothes, then slipped into my black tracks. I made them a pile and put them on a small table next to me. I then looked at my reflection on the mirror.

   I first fixed my hair, pushing my fingers into it, making my black curls falling a bit more nicely around my face. I smiled as I saw my skin had was again dark. I always becomes more white during winter, but darkens again at summer. I had a bit darker skin than usual, but Maggie always used to say  it suits me just as it suits her. And Maggie was indeed one of the prettiest girls I had ever seen.

   Maggie was always the girl everyone wanted when she was in high school. Too bad she had been with Matteo since her 14.

   When I finished checking the room and my reflection, I exited the room.

   Maggie was under the covers of her bed. Wow, I thought, It took her 5 minutes. I felt bad for pushing her in the first place

   I quietly made my way to the door, after taking my staff.
