Love, Rosie (242 page)

Sorry
I
didn’t
write
sooner
but
I’ve
been
so
busy
ever
since
I
landed
that
I

haven’t
had
the
chance
to
pick
up
a
pen.
It’s
really
hot
here
at
the
moment
so

I’m
trying
to
work
on
my
tan
before
John
comes
over.
I
want
him
seeing
me

as
a
complete
beach
babe!

Dad
collected
me
from
the
airport
which
was
a
weird
experience.
Weird

to
see
him
dressed
up,
or
I
should
say
dressed
down
in
shorts
and
flip-flops.
I

didn’t
know
he
had
legs.
You
would
have
laughed
if
you’d
seen
him,
he
was

wearing
this
navy
blue
Hawaiian-style
shirt
with
yellow
flowers
splattered
all

over
it,
although
he
insisted
it
was
black
(by
the
way
I
believe
you
now
about

his
debs
suit
being
navy,
he
is
completely
color-blind).

He
has
an
electric
blue
convertible
which
is
pretty
cool
(he
thinks
it’s

black)
as
I’ve
never
been
in
a
convertible
before.
The
island
is
so
beautiful.

He
lives
in
a
really
nice
complex
just
outside
the
busy
part
of
town
and
there

are
about
ten
white
painted
villas
that
share
a
swimming
pool.
There’s
a

really
cute
guy
that
lives
straight
across
from
Dad
who
just
swims
and
sun-

bathes
all
day.
He’s
so
brown
and
muscley
and
such
a
babe
so
I
spend
the

entire
day
by
the
pool
drooling.
Dad
is
freaking
out
and
keeps
telling
him
to

put
his
shirt
on.
He’s
trying
to
be
funny
but
no
one
really
laughs.
Speaking

of
cute
guys
I
can’t
wait
for
John
to
come
over,
I
miss
him
like
crazy.

weeks
is
far
too
long
to
be
without
him
and
I
still
have
another
week
to
go,

it’s
not
natural.

Toby
and
Monica
are
coming
over
next
week
which
should
be
good
fun
as

long
as
Monica
keeps
her
gob
shut.
They’re
both
staying
in
a
hotel
in
town
and

there’s
loads
of
cool
clubs
around
them.
But
before
you
go
ape
shit
let
me
tell

you
that
the
day
I
arrived,
Dad
brought
me
up
and
down
the
street
of
bars
and

clubs
and
introduced
me
to
all
the
bouncers
and
managers
and
told
them
I
was

his
daughter.
I
thought
he
was
doing
it
so
that
they’d
recognize
me
and
let
me

in
but
when
I
went
up
to
one
of
the
bars
last
week
not
one
of
them
let
me
in.

Not
one
.
I
thought
they
were
doing
it
because
they
hated
Dad
and
they
were

trying
to
piss
him
off
or
something,
but
yesterday
a
bouncer
from
the
club
