[Fiona POV] Do I feel insecure about my body? Yes, I had dated bums that had told me how disgusted they were about my body. Do I have a praise kink, also yes, who doesn’t like being told their gorgeous? Did Heath satisfy my kink, definitely, the man is passionate about loving my body, and I feel really secure about it. Sure, many would have liked it if I waited a bit before sleeping with him again, maybe take it slow like Selby and Lucas, you know, start with the dates, and take it slow, but you didn’t hear how that man moaned my name in his sleep so shut up. “What are you smiling at?” I am startled by Selby who catches me smiling at myself. “Nothing,” I say clearly embarrassed, I hear Heath chuckle happily. “So, anyone seen Carl?” Esther asked, completely draining my happy mood. “No, I haven’t, why are you asking,” Heath says annoyed. “I was just worried about……” She doesn’t finish her sentence as Carl joins us. “Morning,” he coldly says, his face bruised up and still smelli
[Heath POV] A date, the first I have ever been on, well excluding that prom date I was forced to go because father wanted me to date more as he worried, I would die single, but that wasn’t officially a date, so I don’t count it as one. Though it is my first Fiona have been on more dates, she has been impressed by a lot of guys and my attempt might just end up being underwhelming. “Can you stop stressing already,” Lucas chimes, “I spoke to the ship’s crew, and they will help you out.” “What if she hates it?” “Then you will try again, I am sure Fiona is not the type to cut you off just because you planned one awful date,” Lucas reasoned, but it didn’t stop me from worrying, the Fiona Lucas know is a different woman from the Fiona I know. The Fiona I know wouldn’t stand for anything short of impressive. And I wouldn’t let her, I wouldn’t let Fiona Lennon settle for less, because she should never, she should always get the best, because she deserves the best. “Come on tell me how y
[Heath’s POV]Last night was a true dream come true, not only did I get to be with the woman of my dreams, but I also get to wake up with her in my arms.Though it was rather presumptuous of us to sleep on the floor of the restaurant, I held her cold trembling body gently, “Fiona, I think it is time to wake up,” I whispered to her ear.“Let me sleep a little longer,” she grumbles in her sleep.I guess her sleep is worth more than the warmth of her bed, I chuckle as she snuggles closer to my chest, “you will get more sleep when we get back to your room Fiona.”She ignores my plea and continues to rest, though I wouldn’t mind her sleeping a little longer, the cleaning staff had already started entering and they were getting ready to clean.“Fiona, this is someone’s workplace we cannot stay here any longer as they need to work,” I whisper gently.“Ugh…... Fine,” she says rubbing her cute eyes. I could watch her act bratty all day long while feeding unto her ways like a fool.We started p
[Fiona’s POV] I couldn’t stop the tears from rolling violently. I know they didn’t deserve to see me broke. I remember refusing to cry and begging for their mercy when they dropped me off a dangerous street. When my parents died, my aunt and uncle took over very quickly and, by the looks of it, it seemed our family was going to be okay. But that was only a facade, a mirage, an illusion, that only lasted for two months. The moment life insurance paid up, everything broke; they started telling people how my parents left no money for them to raise me and how unruly I was. Rumors, they spread rumors that way they wouldn’t be faulted for abandoning me all while eating my parents’ hard-earned money. How dare they even come close to me and act as if they cared. They didn’t mind dropping off a girl child in a dangerous neighborhood in the middle of the night. A defenseless child who has just lost her whole world. I cry loudly as Heath continues to comfort me, not asking too many question
[Fiona’s POV] This ought to be some sort of a joke, “what on earth is wrong with you Esther?” I yell angrily. “I didn’t know you and Heath were a thing, he called me and……” Esther stutters. “I did not call you,” Heath cuts her off, “why are you lying?” “Geez, Esther how is a man supposed to tell you he is not interested,” I angrily growled, “why are you in my man’s bad naked, and don’t yap about him calling you because one he doesn’t have your number and two, I have been with him all day.” I can see Heath turn into a blushing mess in the corner of my eye, this is absurd, how did she even get into his room with that short time I went back to my room and Heath started getting the shower ready. She looks away in embarrassment before chuckling shyly, “you should see your face right now,” she says covering herself up. “What? What does you be but naked on Heath’s bed without his permission no less?” I question firmly. She continues to laugh hysterically, shocking us both, “it is a p
[Third person’s POV] Though she was here to do her job as Clover Easton’s nurse, Heath Duncan happened to steal her heart violently. He was a natural flirt, flirted with every woman she met, but for some reason Heath Duncan didn’t flirt with her, why, why was all the other woman so superior. She had asked tips from Carl the first day they were on the ship and his ‘tips’ didn’t seem to work, because for some reason Heath Duncan went from flirting with everyone to only giving one woman those bedrooms eyes. A look that should only be reserved for Esther and Esther only, how dare that brown haired woman steals the affection only Esther should be getting. But that was not the worst of it, the worst of it was watching that woman drenched in wine walk out her Heath’s room, like she owned the place like she belonged there. She hated it more when that woman dragged her Heath into her room to not only steal Esther’s reserved affection but also Esther’s lovemaking. He should be devouring h
[Third Person’s POV]Though she had trusted Heath to take care of Fiona, Selby still harbored some anger towards Esther.This is not the first time she had suspected Esther of hating Fiona, she had seen signs of resentment most times, but she had brushed it off.“So, Esther what were you and Fiona talking about?” Selby asks, trying her best to be hostile.Esther chuckles awkwardly, “can’t two girls have a secret?” she continues to chuckle, “Fiona will tell you herself, I am afraid of violating her boundaries.”She had quickly picked her drink up before taking a huge sip, and she smiled and Selby awkwardly.Clover had chuckled awkwardly as well as she senses the tension between the two women, she looked at Selby trying to plead with her to stop what she was doing but Selby just ignored her gaze.“Um…. Well, I will go my husband,” Clover says, she was not willing to watch Selby interrogate Esther, because unlike Selby she knew Esther’s hate towards Fiona was because she had a crush on H
[Fiona’s POV]I had laid on the freezing ground angrily, it was so pathetic how I have been a damsel in distress yet again. Ugh…. I hate feeling weak, my head was still buzzing from the impact from that bat.Esther had never given me the vibe that she would be this evil, she had always acted timid and sensible, I never really felt like I had to be guarded around her.Now I know Carl didn’t push me, it doesn’t change anything but at least I now know who my enemy is.I had slowly crawled to the fridge door with my whole body buzzing with pain, I had tried to claw my way out, a hopeless attempt to get out of here.If ever I get out here, and get my hands on Esther, I swear to be arrested for more than just a night.My half-frozen fingers that were close to bleeding had slipped off the door yet again, I could hear a commotion outside.I heard Heath’s voice making me angry, I hate this, he has to save me yet again, I am just a weak person who needs saving every time. I had tried clawing my
[Fiona’s POV]People around ran to help me up, while I saw this woman look at me before grinning, pulling away from the hug.“Oh… sorry, I didn’t mean to do that, you are rather weak,” she teases before laughing mockingly.“Who the f*ck are you and what the hell did you do to my girlfriend?” Heath seethes, balling his fists angrily.She is definitely not expecting this reaction out of him, because she jumps back terrified.“Heath, it is me, Mimi, you can’t say you forgot me,” she reasons, “I…. I was just so excited to see you. I didn’t mean to hurt her.”“Mimi from where? I don’t know any Mimi,” Heath says, “and please refrain from manhandling me again or there will be hell. A matter of fact, I am surprised you are still alive after hurting my girlfriend.”I chuckled evilly, Heath had a past. I knew that when I met him, but his past had nothing to do with me, so this woman had no right to try and bully me.“Can we not waste our energy darling, I was about to win,” I teased, not paying
[Fiona’s POV]Gabriel really did a good job picking this hotel. It was homely, the elderly couple that greeted us at the reception and everyone who showed us to our room.They were both friendly and welcoming, and it made me happy.“This place is cool,” I say happily looking around, it was not a five-star hotel.It was a few stories, built with every architectural care needed.“Yes, it is,” he says, his face is clearly genuine, it might not be a five-star golden heights, but it is enough for me.I am still in awe of ho protective Dean had acted, the way he stood up for me really turned me on.“I will never get over of seeing you stand for me,” I tell him, he grins.“Well, I will always stand up for my woman, because she is the best,” he giggles before taking my lips.He mumbles something under our kiss, but I am too engulfed in the dirty thoughts of him inside me to even care.Taking a chance with Heath Duncan was the best idea ever. This is the best vacation ever.“Ugh……. Not this ag
[Heath POV]My bad ways coming back to bite me, but what made me angrier was how this man was so okay with insulting her.Fiona looked at him with shock, but soon sighed heavily.“May you please repeat what you just said?”My anger was evident in my voice, “well…... um…. Sir…. Last time you came here with someone you requested separate bedrooms.”“And? This time I have told you specifically, I need one room since I am bringing my GIRLFRIEND with me.”He is shocked and rather embarrassed. He bows his head in shame before saying, “I apologize sir, I will get your rooms at your request.”That is not good enough, the way he looked cocky after saying his first words bugged me.How dare he feel so confident in insulting his Fiona?“You are apologizing to the wrong person,” I firmly said.His face is shocked at first, he looks at Fiona with so much contempt, I loudly scoff at his reaction.“It is fine, Heath, he doesn’t need to.”“She is right. Why don’t we just get on with our day,” the way
[Fiona’s POV]With Selby’s father gone, it was time for Heath to commit to his promise to take him on a vacation and commit he did.“Vegas? I had always wanted to go to Vegas, how did you know?” I squealed happily, a man who does his homework is my type of man.“I am close to your friends, plus there is so much that could happen in Vegas that could be good for me.”I rolled my eyes at that, since his conversations with Mr. Green, he had been a nuisance, “I am not marrying you in Vegas Heath.”A beautiful laugh fills the room, he is so beautiful when he laughs, it makes you want to just smile at him.“Come pack your bags, Vegas isn’t going to explore itself,” he says, and I rush to our bedroom, “careful, you might fall.”This is the best gift ever, travelling the world. I have put that on hold since I started working. Each year I always tell myself, it is not time yet.But now, this feels right, travelling more. Maybe I should start now, stop worrying about work and travel more.I coul
[Heath’s POV]Paint, the moment he pulled his trigger, cold paint hits my face, he smirks before saying “alright boys, let us have some fun, while the ladies hang-out.”“Um…… sir, don’t we have to change to a more…...”Lucas’s attempt to reason with Mr. Green is cut shot by a big red ball of paint on his suit, “come on let us all start with our teams,” Mr. Green says ignoring Lucas.Hot-headed and stubborn, that is how Fiona described him, and though he infuriated me, I still needed his approval to marry Fiona.We are grouped with one of his old friends and the rules are set, we are all given paintguns with clear instructions on how to use them.“Okay kids, let us see what you have,” he mocks. I hate how effortless he seems. We haven’t even started, but I can already see us losing.And losing we did, again, and again, and again, “come on Heath we are not winning this, can’t we just give up already.”“You know if we give up, we are not getting the blessing to date/marry his daughters,
[Fiona’s POV] I wake up late in the afternoon, with the day to myself. I have woken up once to see Heath go to work, go back to sleep, and wake up again in the afternoon. It felt a bit good to not stress about work for the first two weeks, but it feels so depressing to stay home and do nothing. I hear a soft knock on the door which is followed by another loud and aggressive knock. I can deduce who is at the door already because I hear Mrs. Green say. “Selby don’t knock like that, poor Fiona must be resting,” she scolds in that soft and loving tone. “Mom, welcome,” with a warm hug, we greeted each other. “Wait till I tell you what dad did,” Selby says angrily. “What did he do?” I asked. I ushered them in as I caught up with what had been happening while I was asleep. “Come on stop exaggerating, your father would never do that,” Mrs. Green says, “he is probably getting to know them.” “He kidnapped them mom. How would you explain him buying a gun first thing this morning?” “I a
[Heath’s POV] The tall elderly man was surely intimidating, not only his voice but his build as well; an elderly man with a sweet smile. “Dad,” I heard Fiona chime. I am completely confused by this. Fiona’s parents had passed on, so why is she calling that man dad? She quickly runs to hug the couple, who embraces her back warmly, “I miss you so much, how have you been?” “Huh…... miss us? Don’t lie child, you could have visited if you missed us,” the elderly man said, earning a smack on his head from his wife. “Robert, don’t talk to a child like that, in your old age you still act childish,” the lady says, “don’t mind him child, you know what your father is like.” “I understand mom, this grinch doesn’t want to let go of his ways,” she teases. This confuses me even further. Did she lie about her parents dying? “And who is this fine young man,” the lady says, moving closer to me and Lewis. “Oh…. Um…. Mom, this is my boyfriend Heath,” Fiona says shyly. “Heath, these are Sleby’s p
[Fiona’s POV] “Okay Lucas, what brings you here?” I asked him, he nervously sat on the couch across from me. I had moved back to Heath’s place after the talk with Gian and Clover, though I would see Lucas now and then when he visited Heath or when he drove Selby, to come and see me, he was kind of distant. “Um…. So… I have been thinking,” he speaks, “it might seem too quick or maybe I am rushing things, but I feel like this is the right time.” “The right time for me?” “I want to ask Selby to marry me,” he says. I feel mixed emotions. Marriage? Now? He might be right about this too suddenly. “But…. Lucas, you haven’t introduced her to your family yet and you haven’t met her family either,” I reasoned. “Oh…. I am going to meet her parents next month. I plan to ask her father for her hand in marriage,” he said so confidently. I looked at him bewildered, “ask Selby’s father for her hand in marriage the first time you met him?” I asked. He nodded confused as to why I was surpris
[Third person POV]When Heath and Fiona arrive at the hospital, they find Gian and Clover ready for them. It seemed they had already had a talk amongst themselves.“Hey guys,” Fiona says walking to Clover’s side, “how have you been? I could come check on you today. It was busy.”“It is okay, Selby came, she brought me the tasty sushi I like so much,” Clover says, “I missed it since I couldn’t eat it during the pregnancy.”“That is very thoughtful of her.” Fiona says awkwardly, “is anything the matter?”“How have you wound been? I was so engrossed with my baby I didn’t ask,” Clover says.“I am managing, it gets sore here and there, but it is getting better,” Fiona explains.Heath’s face had lit up, it seemed they had finally noticed that his worries were not just him crying wolf.“I talked to Jennie, she
