... and then I take the photo for them, next minute they are sucking faces and I didn’t realise they wanted another photo, OMG please I say to myself! As I left I turned around and the same couple the girl takes her bikini top off and the guy was taking photos of her topless, mind you nothing much to show but she was a pretty blonde.
