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..

Michella's P.O.V.

I woke up with the worst headache from all my drinking last night, so I got up and into the living room to find my toilet bag where I had something for the hangover.. I found the little container with some pills for the headache and took one, swolling it without any water..

I felt it kind of settle in my throat so I got over to the kitchen sink and got a glass of water to get it fully down..

As I gulped the water down, I looked around and noticed this wasnt my room that I had booked..

"Morning.." a dark grumpy voice said coming up behind me..

I slowly turned around, but instantly relaxed when I saw a still very tired Danny..

When he slumbed down on the couch, I then remembered the switch Patrick and Lucy had made us go along with last nigth for the two weeks we are here in Australia..

"Fuck.." I grunted.. "Sorry good morning.." I then corrected myself, since the fuck wasnt supposed to come out of my mouth.

"Fuck is proberly more right, with our situation here.." Danny said, while rubbing the sleep out off his eyes..

"Now I remember why I had the last few drinks last night.." I said and joined him on the couch..

"I don't blame you, I want to get hammered right now, and it's not even 10 am yet.." he said and rested his head on the back of the couch..

I reached over next to me and took the hotel phone and called roomservice..

"Hi, I want to order some breakfast for 2, scrambled eggs, a lot of bacon, some strawberrys, bread and jam, uh nutella, juice and a your best bottle of champange.." I said..

Danny just laid with his eyes closed, but at the mentioning of champange he looked my way for a second but then just smiled and laid his head back down again..

The worker said it would be brought to our room in about 15 minutes, so we just sat in silence until it arrived..

-Knock knock-

Danny got up and answered the door and a hotel worker wheeled in the food and placed it on the table in the kitchen, for us all nicely and lastly popped the champange and put on ice.. Danny tipped him on the way out and we then sat down to eat..

"Thank you for ordering, I dont think I would have thought about food until I was starving later.. This whole thing is fucked up.." Danny said, taking a forkfull of eggs into his mouth..

"No worries.. And yeah, it is fucked up.." I agreed with him..

"You didnt seem to care much about anything last night.." Danny said as he grabbed a few pieces of bacon..

"I don't.. Let's just say Patrick and I havent been on good terms lately.." I said, rolling my eyes..

"Why.?" he questioned with a concerned look..

This vacation was the last straw for me and my relationship with Patrick..

All he ever did was, coming home from work and then go straight to his computer and spend all his time playing with his friends online.. Sometime he would spare me a few minutes were he would grope my boobs but then leave.. Only if I was really lucky he would 'try' to have sex with me..

Emphasis on the 'try', because it would only last 5 to 7 minutes and then his dick would go soft.. Sometimes I would later the same day cath him jerking off to porn, on his computer..

Also if it was up to me, I would be having sex everyday, but for the last year and a half it has on average been only once a month..

And it had reached the point were i wrote it down in my calender on my phone..

One time I broke down because it had been a month and a half since the last time we had been intemete..

I told Danny everything, not really caring if he and Patrick was friends.. I just needed to vent my frustration, and get a guys point of view on the matter..

"Really..?" Danny asked really surprised, hearing how bad it was..

"Yeah.." I said with a deep sigh..

It's so frustrating to love someone but he never spends time with me unless I'm really upset or sad about it, then he would make it up to me and be a good boyfriend for about a week, but then go back to his old pattern..

"And you have told him how you feel about it..?" Danny questioned..

"Of course I have, I have told him I dont feel like he loves me anymore... But this last year I've just had enough of him and his jerking off for 45 minutes in the bathroom before bed.. But funny enough when I ignore him and I don't want to be around him then he can't leave me the fuck alone.." I said and paused for a minte..

"Do you remember one time you guys talked and you made a joke, that he should go and have sex with me, because it seemed like I needed it..?" I asked him.. I wasn't sure if Danny would remember it, since it was some months ago now..

"Yeah, he had told me about your lattes argument and knowing you a little, I knew that not enough sex was a problem, for you at least.." Danny confessed..

"Well he took you literally..." I said with a annoyed tone.. But not annoyed with Danny..

"He did..!?" Danny asked in disbelieve. "How fucking stupid can he be..?" he added, now understanding some of my frustration..

"Yep.. I got so mad when he told me why.. Because he didn't even want to, he went soft after 2 minutes..." I confessed..

"Wow... No wonder you are irritated and hurt.." Danny said..

"I just don't feel like I'm good enough, because he can come fine when he does it alone by himself, and for the last 2,5 years he haven't been able to come when he has sex with me.. But he tells me that nothings wrong with me but also he doesn't know why he cant finish when he is with me.." I said and felt a tear slip down my cheek..

"Something is wrong with him.. Nothing is wrong with you, any guy would be amazed to have a girl like you with that high of a sexdrive.. And a guy his age should be dying to get inside you.." Danni stated politely, and put his knife and fork down..

"Thanks for letting me vent about all this.. I'm sorry if it's a bit weird since he is your friend.." I apologized with a little smile, appreciative of him hearing me out..

"Don't worry about it, Patrick never opens up to me so I don't bother either.. And the most we have been together, is after I started dating Helle because you two then makes plans that includeds me and Patrick.." Danni confessed with a shrug of his shoulders..

We cleaned up after ourself when we finished eating and put the dishes out on the cart that the hotel worker had left outside the door..

Danny's P.O.V.

It's day 5 of the vacation and Michella and I has just been cooped up in the penthouse, not really feeling like doing anything at all..

But today we decided to venture out into the city of Sydney in the evening and booked a table on The Sydney Harbour Dinner Cruise, where we would get to see some of the landmarks as we enjoyed a 4-course dinner and the cruise is 2 hours long..

"Michella.. Are you ready to go.?" I called out facing her room and waited for her to answer as I put on my watch..

"Is this to much..?" she asked in almost a whisper..

I heard her high heels click against the floor as she stepped out off her room.. I finished putting my watch on and then looked up at her..

She had lighty curled her hair and was wearing a black ruched off the shoulder mesh bodycon dress with long sleeves..

Michella has never really showed off her bodyfigure so seeing her in a dress like that took me by surprise and I was stunned for a moment..

She gave me a questioning look and was about to go back into her room..

"Wait, wait, wait, stay.. Sorry you just surprised me.." I said with a small pause and gave her a smile, "You look amazing.." I said..

"So it's not to much.?" she asked again..

"No not at all.." I chuckled.. "That dress looks like it was made with you in mind.. Plus it's a cruise we are going on, you can always dress up for something like that.." I said and she gave me a shy smile in return..

"Okay, I'm ready then.." she said and grabbed her Valentino crossbody bag..

The cruise was amazing and ended just as the sun set at 9 pm.. The sky was pink and deep purple in the horizon as it was on the brim on getting dark.. When we got back on land, we found a cap that drove us back to our hotel..

Michella relaxed on the drive back and almost fell asleep but woke up just as the cap drove up to the hotel.. I paid for the ride and then we walked in and got in the elevator to go to our room..

It's weird to say our room when I was supposed to share it with my girlfriend and not my girlfriends best friend..

But Michella is enjoyable and fun to be around and tonight was great and we learned that we actually have a lot in common.. We like a lot of the same movies, activities, opinions and our wants for the future.. To a certain point it almost got creepy with how similar we are..

When we got up to the penthouse, Michella went into her room to change into something more comfortable instead of her dress.. She came back out in a big pastel blue hoodie with white knee-high socks.. The hoddie was really big on her so I couldnt really tell if she was wearing something underneath other than her underware..

"Haha, you look adorable Cookie.." I said and she instantly gave me an annoyed glanze..

Then we heard a knock at the door and we both went over to answer it, but before Michella grabbed the handle we heard Lucy on the other side..

"Danny..! Hallo.! Its me Lucy, I want to see you babe.! Open up.." she yelled through the door..

"Do you want to answer..?" Michella whispered, so Lucy wounldnt hear us..

"Not really.. I'm still mad, and who the hell told her I was in the penthouse.." I whispered back, and annoyed that someone told her which room I was in, because I told the hotel manager not to tell her anything..

"How about we mess with her a little..?" Michella whispered with a smirk..

"How..?" I whispered back..

"DANNY hallooooo..." Lucy annoyingly yelled for me again..

"What about we act like we are making out..? I'm still wearing my make up so if we really were making out, it would smear onto you, so when we open the door she can tell that we were only messing with her.." Michella whispered with a small chuckle..

"Why not.. All of this is a big joke, so maybe she will feel bad about it and finally call it off.." I whispered back and Michella got closer to the door..

She started to softly moan as she kissed the back of her hand to make some real kissing sounds..

I tried to keep myself from laughing the entire time.. Lucy suddenly stopped knocking and you could faintly hear her say 'what the fuck', up close to the door..

She started pounding at the door, screaming for me to come and open the door, but we decided to let her listen a little bit more so Michella moaned a little louder a few times then stopped like if we suddenly realized that someones was at the door..

"Michella you fucking bitch, get off my boyfriend..!" Lucy screamed..

Michella was shocked to hear her best friend call her a bitch like that..

We decided it was enough, so we went to open the door but before we could Lucy screamed again.. "Do you know what, fucking enjoy..! Then we'll both will have tried out each other's boyfriends on this vacation..!!"

I ribbed the door open and shocked Lucy so much that she fell back and down onto her butt..

She looked mad up at me, but I was even more furious at her..

"I guess the joke was on us.." Michella said and stepped out from behind me and showed Lucy the back of her hand she had been kissing..

Lucy's face got ghostly pale, now that she could see that I didn't have any of Michella's lipstick on me and what she just confessed to have done, wasn't at all what we were doing.. "Where is he.." Michella calmly asked Lucy and as Lucy looked up at her, from the floor but didn't answer..

"Where is he..!" Michella then demanded..

"He's at the bar down stairs.." Lucy then quickly answered, lowering her head even more..

Michella ran down the hall to the elevator and the doors opened right away, so she hurried in and pushed the button and left me alone with Lucy, still on the floor, now not daring to look me in the eyes..

"You have to be honest with me here Lucy... When.." I demanded..

She was extremely quiet and didn't want to answer me.. "Fine, be like that.." I said and grabbed the keycard to the door and closed it behind me, then walked to the elevator to go find Michella and Patrick..

As the elevator doors closed I could hear Lucy starting to cry, but it didn't effect me in the slightest..
