Matters of the Heart Collection Chapter 22 The Honeymoon
We honeymooned in the Fiji Islands! It was spectacular and breathtaking. The colors in the sky at sunset were the most beautiful I’ve ever saw. It was like a fairytale. “This is the most beautiful sunset I've ever seen.” I reply. “It doesn't compare to your beauty! Nothing can.” Adam replies. “I know we just got here, but I already dread going home.” I sigh. “I'm looking forward to having you all to myself 24 hours a day for the next two weeks! We have about three months of lost time to make up for.” He explains. “I wonder when I'll get a baby bump?” I ponder. “I'm sure soon. We're only thirteen weeks. “Ahhh how cute, you said we.” I tease. “You picked up on that huh?” He smiles. “So, what's on the agenda for tomorrow.” I ask. “Wait and see!” He teases. He takes me to a huge beautiful waterfall. The water is so beautiful. There are guys jumping off a cliff mid-way up. Adam decides he’s gonna give it a try. And he did. I think I held my breath the whole time until he emerge

We are on our way to spring break!We are all 22, and just finished 4 years of college. Me and Tammy after break are headed to law school. Cindy and Kim are headed to medical school. We are all from money.My mom is a divorce attorney. My dad a famous plastic surgeon. I am different from my friends. They come from generations of money. My parents made their way from poor parents.They've raised me to not be a rich snob. Thankfully my friends aren't too bad. I have a major problem with the snob and famous as I like to call them. "Spring break here we come! Lots of booze and sex!!!" Cindy declares. "I second that!" Tammy agrees. Kim just rolls her eyes. She's more reserved of the three. "Seriously?!" I ask. "We are in the pink house." Kim replies. There are 2 identical houses side by side that are feet apart. One is painted baby pink; the

"Care to dance babe?" He asks me."Ah no thanks, you should ask Tammy." I reply."I'm Tammy." She replies."Sup? Dance?" He asks."Sure." She agrees."And then there were two." Kim sighs."Soon to be one. Alert number three." I reply."Hi I'm Cameron. I see my two besties are on the floor with two of your besties." He replies. "Either of you care to dance?" He asks."You go ahead Kim. " I say. He looks disappointed. Kim hesitates. Then he smiles at her and holds his hand out to her. She smiles back and takes his hand."Ok. Sure, I'd love to." She replies."Let's go." He grins.And then there was one. I mutter to myself. Several other guys come and ask and I turn them all down. I had a bad break up and gun shy so to speak. Not ready to get back into the whole dating scene.I can't get the other guy out of my head. I don't even know him. And he doesn't look like the type who's looking. I go to the bathroom.

What is up with those entitled jerks?! I go in my room and close and lock my door.I get dressed and head for the mall. I have gifts to buy. My God daughter’s third birthday is coming up soon. And so is my little sister’s fifteenth!I find gifts for them and head back to the house. My friends are on the beach. I get dressed to go join them. The four guys are sitting with my three friends.“Careful, here comes the ice queen.” Jake snickers.“Ahhh is someone still upset I called him out for the player he is and turned him down not once but twice?!” I pout.“Ooooh burn dude!” Wesley laughs.“Fuck off dude!” Jake mutters.“Don't be crude Jake.” Cameron orders.“Sweet Cameron give it up, she's won't, even for sweet sweet you!” He mocks.“Jake quit being a dick.” Brady orders.I don't have to listen to his crap.

“Yes.” I agree.“What about you?” I ask.“I'm still waiting to hear. I got my application in last minute.” He replies.“Well good luck. And I really mean that.” I say.“Thanks.” He replies.“I kind of judged you too.” I scrunch up my nose.“Oh? What was your opinion?” He asks.“I thought you were a stuck-up snob. And very judgmental.” I reply.“Judgmental yes. Stuck up snob? No.” He laughs.“It's just you ignored me while all your friends were giving it their best shot.” I reply.“I need to focus on school and leave the princesses alone. I can’t afford the distraction.” He explains.“Yeah, I need to leave the princes alone too.” I agree.We just arrived at the house. I didn't want it to end. I really enjoyed his company. But I don't need this distraction. Besides when I leave here, I won't see him again. I don't even know where he's from or where he's going.“Well, this is me. Thanks for the chat.” I reply.For a moment I thought I saw desire in his eyes.“Yes, nice chat. See ya later

He grins and kisses me and starts thrusting again a little faster. He’s groaning again. The sounds make me hotter. I feel like I’m going to catch on fire. The sensations are from head to toe. I feel my climax coming already.“You are so tight and hot. I’m about to come are you ready?” Brady asks.“Yes faster, oh Brady, yes...” I reply.He goes faster and then I feel him jerking and throbbing and I’m shoved over the edge of my climax. That was the most intense electrifying orgasm I've ever had. No words can truly describe it.We lay there for a couple minutes; he hasn't pulled out yet but he's supporting most his wait on his elbows. Both our chests are heaving and breathless. After a few minutes he leans down and kisses my lips so sweetly but yet with desire too.“That was mind shattering.” He replies.“Amazingly breath taking!” I reply. “Shower?”“I’m game if you are.” He grins.“Got anymore condoms?” I ask.“Yeah, one more. I don't keep a stock; I ah don't sleep around.” He explains.

We all get dressed and head for lunch. Me and Brady dress similar and not on purpose. It's just who we are. I’m in a white tank and blue jeans. He’s in a grey tank and jeans. The week passes to quickly. We're walking on the beach one evening and the combination of sand and water causes me to fall. Brady takes the fall positioning himself under me, with me landing on top of him. His Jean's end up soaked, but we continue our make out session until an elderly couple walks by and disapproves. We both laugh. “We're going to a karaoke bar tonight. You coming?” He asks. “Not right now but it looks promising.” I reply raising my brows. “And I can promise you will after too. But karaoke?” He asks. “Sure! I love karaoke, after I get some alcohol in me!” I explain. “Good, now let's go to my room.” He replies. We go to his room and make out. Afterwards he goes to shower and I leave to go get dressed. Jake is in the hallway as I'm leaving. “So, what are you doing with a boy when you could

“Hold on I'm coming with you. We're in this together.” He replies.We get dressed and then we go to my room so I can change. The pharmacy is within walking distance. I think about Jake's face when Brady punched him and laughed.“What's so funny?” He asks.“I was just thinking how funny it is that this morning Jake had to ice his nuts, and now his face. He's having a very bad day.” I laugh.“This morning? What do you mean by that?” Brady stops.“Oh, ah yeah when I left your room this morning, he tried to kiss me and I kneed him in the nuts.” I explain.“I’m going to kill him.” He retorts.I grab him before he could leave. I take his face in my hands and kiss him.“It's ok. I’m fine. Don't get a record because of him, law degree remember?!” I remind him.“Soon as we get back, I’m packing. No way I’m staying under the same roof as someone who’d pull that not once but twice!” Brady retorts.“I know we only have a week left, but move in to my room with me? Don’t leave.” I plead.“Ok. If it

Could I be? Or is it the stress? I wash my face and brush my teeth again. The police escort is here to take me to the hospital. I get to the hospital and Grant is signing his release papers to leave. “We need to stop at the pharmacy. I need to get some gauze to change the dressing on my hand." Grant replied.“Umm, yeah I need to stop and get something as well.” I said. “Oh? What?” Grant said. “Well.. I ah.. Gosh this is so not the time, and so hard to say.” I stuttered. “Darling what’s wrong?” Grant asked. “Well I thought it was nerves, but I’m not sure..” I replied.“Not sure about what?” Grant asked. “I’ve been getting nauseous. And I’ve thrown up a few times.” I explained. “Something you ate?” Grant asked. “No, I don't think so.” I denied. “Stomach bug?” Grant asked. “No.” I replied.. “I don’t understand?” Grant was confused. “I think I might be pregnant.” I blurted. “Say something please?” I begged. “I’m just caught by surprise.

The ambulance and police finally get there after what seemed like forever. They take Grant to the hospital but I have to stay behind to talk to the police and the detective. “Yes, that's definitely brake fluid. I’m going to go look under his truck at his brake lines. I’ll also have a professional look it over. I’ll be in touch.” Detective said. “Okay, thanks! I need to get to the hospital.” I said. I go to the condo and get my stuff and call an uber for the hospital. I get there and have to wait in the waiting room until they get him in a room. “Are you family of Grant’s?” Dr.Greene asked. “Yes. We live together.” I replied. “I can’t discuss his condition without you being family or his consent. But he is in a room now and you can see him.” Dr.Greene said. “Thank you, that’s perfectly fine. I understand your policy.” I responded. I went into his room, sick to my stomach. He’s here because of me. Because of my deranged ex. His head is bandaged and his face is pa

KENZIE'S POINT OF VIEW He’s so angry and I’ve not heard him use the f word. Grant’s not the kind that curses, one of the things I love about him. He doesn’t smoke either and drinking is strictly a glass at special dinners. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I should have been here to make sure you had an escort home.” Grant said. “I didn’t want you to be worried while you were driving. And we can’t let his bullshit control our life. You have work and I have work. I took an uber and I will from now on, on the days you’re gone.” I said. “Okay, but I want you straight home and not to go anywhere. You’re safe here and at work.” Grant said. “I know and I will. I promise.” I agreed. Good, let’s eat before it gets cold.” Grant replied. After we ate, we watched a movie. And half way through it we couldn’t keep our hands off each other. The rest of the movie was forgotten. “You make me insane everytime I see you. I want to take you to bed and strip your clothes off you. And make lov

KENZIE’S POINT OF VIEW We lay there for several minutes waiting for our breathing to calm down. And I realize this is real love. I’ve never felt this much, it’s more than sex. it’s mind, body, and heart. Wow 36 years old before I find real true love! He leans down and his lips meet mine. No hurry, taking his time enjoying the pure bliss and aftermath of our love making. He lays down beside me and when his body leaves mine I feel so empty. He pulls me into his arms and kisses me again. We’re laying on our sides facing each other. His legs tangled in mine, his arms wrapped around me. END OF KENZIE’s Point of view “Wow, that was amazing. It was the best I’ve ever experienced.” Grant said. “Me too.” Kenzie agreed. “Give me a few minutes and I want a repeat.” Grant smiled. “Ah Grant?” Kenzie said. “Hmm?” Grant said. “We didn’t use protection.” Kenzie said. “You’re not on the pill?” Grant asked. “No. I can’t take the pill. I have a condition that makes me highly suscep

“Yes?” Grant said. “Umm he can’t get up here right?” Kenzie asked. “No he can’t. Even after he gets out of jail don’t worry about him coming back here.” Grant replied. “Okay, would you..” Kenzie started to say. “Would I do what??” Grant asked. “Uh, nothing, never mind. See you in the morning.” Kenzie said. “What is it Kenzie?” Grant asked. “I just, um, I don’t want to be alone.” Kenzie responded. “Would you like for me to sleep with you tonight?” Grant asked. “Would you mind? I mean just sleep, that’s all.” Kenzie blushed. “Go to bed, I’ll be there in a few minutes.” Grant said. Grant made sure the door was locked. Then he went to his room to change clothes. He put on gray joggers and no shirt. “Oh my, I didn’t think this through. I don’t think I’m getting any sleep tonight.” Kenzie thought. “Ah, where’s your shirt?” Kenzie asked. “You’re lucky I have joggers on. I normally sleep in my boxers.” Grant responded. He climbed in bed behind her. Her heart was b

It must be Bob or Grant. Bob has been bragging so much about how well the office is running now. She went to the front desk. There’s a beautiful flower bouquet. “I’m McKenzie Berkley.” Kenzie said. Front desk said. “ This is for you. They are so beautiful.” “Yes, they are. Thank you!” Kenzie said. “Miss me?” Leo said. He’s right behind her and the fear is stuck in her throat. Slowly she turned to him holding her breath.“What are you doing here?” Kenzie asked. “I came to collect my wife.” Leo said. "I don’t know if my face is pale from fear or red from embarrassment as the front desk clerk knows I’m living with Grant." Kenzie thought.“Ex-wife, and I’m not going anywhere with you. I left you and filed for divorce.” Kenzie said. “And I refused the divorce and you are coming home where you belong.” Leo grabbed her wrist. “No I am not! I am home. I live here now!” Kenzie said. “How can you afford this?” Leo asked. “That’s none of your business.” Her face turned red. He squeez

“We don’t need privacy. I broke up with you almost a year ago. Why do you keep showing up where you’re not wanted?!” Grant shouted. “But baby you know our parents want us to marry, have kids, be with our own kind.” Amber responded. “Holden, you were supposed to keep my alien status a secret!” Kenzie crossed her arms. He bursts out laughing and she gives me the death glare. “You think you’re funny don’t you?” Amber asked. “Ah, Holden, you should read this text from Mary.” Kenzie said. “Yeah, I know I am. I’d rather be funny than a desperate woman.” Kenzie said. “Look Amber, for the last time I don’t love you. I am not marrying you. As a matter of fact I’m in love and seeing someone else. So don’t come back here.” Grant replied. “You don’t mean this old hag do you?! Please tell me you’re joking?!!” Amber said. “Shut your mouth! Leave now before I call security! And don’t come back!” Grant yelled. I open the door and held it open. She storms out. “I see, I’m not the only one w

“I want to say yes, but I feel it’s a bad idea.” Kenzie saId. “You saw how big my condo is, It’s paid for. All I pay are utilities. Stuff I pay whether you’re there or not.” Grant explained. “Let me pay half?” Kenzie said. “If it will get you to say yes, okay.” Grant said. “Are you going to tell Leo?” Grant asked. “No, I’ll leave a note when I leave.” Kenzie responded. Kenzie didn't tell him about the one time she packed to leave and Leo threatened to kill her. Telling her he’d rather her be dead than with someone else. Or the many times he said if he caught her with another man he’d kill them both. It’s all talk, she thinks. She's moving 6 hours away and not telling him where. She goes on lunch break to the courthouse and picked up the paperwork she needs to fill out for the divorce. She'll file it the Friday she leaves. Mary and Pat are going to help her pack at the last minute. All she really has are her clothes. Grant is bringing his truck after Leo leaves for work. Her

“I can draft a letter for you and list my info, and say It’s a training trip. And maybe you could stay a couple days?” Grant said. “I don’t think I can afford that.” She responded. “You could ride down with me on Sunday and then I can drive you back when you’re ready. I’ve got vacation days I can take. And I have a 3 bedroom condo. So you don't need a hotel.” Grant explained. “I don't know if that’s a good idea.” She said. “I promise to be a complete gentleman. No funny business.” Grant said. “Okay.” Kenzie said. So I tell Pat and she’s more excited than me. She’s going to help my cover story in case Leo calls my work. When the letter came in the mail Leo threw one hell of a fit. Said he forbade me to go. We fought every day, I almost backed out. But Sunday came and I had my luggage and met Grant at my office so I could leave my car. “How bad was it today?” Grant asked. “Just more ranting and cursing.” She said. “I found several very affordable apartments in goo
