"Remind me why we are going for this vacation." I rolled my eyes folding the outfits I'll be wearing.
Cole has been bitching about the vacation ever since we got home from that dinner, have you know it's been weeks now.
"You are going because you promised to make this marriage work and I'm going because I have never gone for a vacation." Well, except from that time my dad took my sister and I to Miami to announce his divorce to my mum and there I also found out that my dad is already dating a girl half his age.
So, nope I won't call that a vacation.
"Are you sure about leaving Kitty with your mum for the summer?" My husband worries about everything.
Of course, I have weighed my options, checking both our families and I came to the conclusion that my mum is the best option.
"Relax, if anything you should be excited that our Kitty will come back fluent in Spanish." My mum never speaks English to my sister and me even if she knows how to.
"Yeah, she will come back believing that demons are responsible for all her problems in life and have Father Juan Luis on speed dial." My mum is way too religious.
"Would you rather I take her to your parents, who will make our daughter believe that looks are everything and she will come back with low self-esteem." Cole's parents are horrible, rich but horrible. They hate me and I am not a fan either.
I don't know how Cole survived them, they are so judgemental and Cole is extra nervous around them.
They terrify him.
"I am never going to leave my kid with them." Glad we are on the same page.
"You have nothing to worry, my mum would do a perfect job. She even had me promise that I'll come back pregnant with a boy." My mum has been on my throat about me having another baby, she says I am the only one that can pass her genes since my sister announced that she doesn't want to have kids.
My mum as given up on my sister.
"P-pregnant?" He stuttered.
"Yeah, so you have work to do big man." I threw his favourite hoodie at him so he could pack that with his stuff also.
"Now get in a vacation mood, I got lots of bikinis."
"Hmmm, I do love you in bikinis." He smiled shyly which makes him look super hot.
"Good, I will be wearing them almost every day throughout our 2 weeks vacation."
"Your selling dreams and I am buying" I smiled at his words.
This is going to be fun.
~~~
"This is amazing." I scanned the large hotel room which is neatly arranged, roses on the king-sized bed, champagne on the table with Strawberry in a bowl beside it.
Okay, I can most defiantly get used to this.
I rushed towards the curtain, pushing it open, took in the fresh air that accompanies the view. You think the view is great to wait until you see the pool.
It's a private pool, exclusive for high paying lodges.
Fancy, right?
"My sister really went off?" I noticed a couple relaxing near the pool, Can't wait to get in it.
"Makes one wonder why she offered it to us?" I rolled my eyes, turning to Cole who drops our bags.
"You can continue your negativity why I unpack and get myself in that pool." I moved away from the window heading to my luggage.
I heard my husband phone ring, I groaned. He has been working all through our flight and ride to this glorious place.
"O-one last call I promise, then I am all yours." He held the phone, desperately waiting for my permission.
"Okay, take it," I said in defeat, with that he answered the call heading outside the room.
"Better come back in a vacation mood." he leaves the room.
I should probably take a shower, I walked towards the bathroom opening the door. My jaw dropped as I entered.
Holy shit!
This is going to be the best two weeks of my life.
~~~~
I heard the door open, I paused the movie I was watching as I turned to my husband who ditched me for 4 hours doing God knows what.
"Where were you, I moved from the pool to the jacuzzi and now I am here watching a Rom-com alone." I glared at him hard.
"I-I am sor-sorry, last time, I promise." I am too forgiving, I hate it.
"Fine, just join me." I patted the heavenly bed, I could die on it.
Cole moved slowly and nervously taking off his shoe.
What now?
He does that when he has gone something wrong or what's to tell me something but don't know how to.
"Say it." I urged. He looked at me nervously before speaking.
"I-I thought of a way to s-spice up our marriage."
"That's great, tell me." I don't know why he is so nervous to say that.
"Is it sex in the jacuzzi? There are two very old couple who has been there for hours, they might be sleeping or dead, but either way, we can make it work." I winked.
"An open marriage." I paused, trying to understand his words.
A what?
"Are you drunk?" I raised my eyebrows sceptically at him.
"Y-you know I do-don't drink." Is he for real right now?. I don't know where my nerd of a husband got that idea from.
" I also know my husband won't have brought out that topic but you are now" I still can't believe this, he probably got hit on the head on his way back to the room.
"I-I am sorr-sorry, I shouldn't have brought that up." I can't believe I would say this but I did.
"Continue?" Cole looked at me surprised.
"Look, we have been together since high school, we are our first everything, fist kiss, s-sex, everything." First kiss? Not really, but Cole think he was,
Who was my first kiss?
I really don't want to talk about it.
"Not that I am complaining, I am happy, but don't you wonder how it will be with other people." I did want to do the dirty with our handyman, he is so hot but that doesn't lead me to suggest an open marriage.
"Continue." I don't even know why I am entertaining this.
"We have the freedom to be with other people for the duration of our vacation and after that, we go back to normal." Expect that this vacation was meant to be for us.
"That's crazy, you are crazy," I said getting out of bed heading towards the door.
"W-where are you going?" He called out.
"You might not be drunk but I need to be." I said storming out of the room, slamming the door behind me.
----
I sat on the barstool, nursing a glass of vodka because I don't drink too, thinking about Cole words. I looked up to see the wall clock.
1 am?
How long have I been here?
I dropped money on the table putting a glass on it, before struggling past the crowd.
How are there a lot of people here?.
I squeezed myself past a couple only to be pushed forward, causing me to collide with someone.
"I am sor....." I looked up to the person only to freeze for a second.
"Wilder?" I called out surprised.
Before I could say anything, he pulled me close, smashing his lip on mine.
IVY'S POINT OF VIEWRemember that first kiss that I didn't want to talk about or tell my darling husband? Well, guys meet Wilder Wood my first kiss.It happened on the first day of senior year when we got stuck in the school's janitor's closet, apparently, it was a prank meant for a nerd. If you guessed, then you are right, Wilder was Cole high school bully, ma

IVY'S POINT OF VIEW"No." We are taking a look at our high school yearbook while cuddling under a big blanket, in front of a fireplace.Romantic right.
mature content!!IVY'S POINT OF VIEW.I bit down on my lips as he locks his bedroom door before turning to me, I slowly walked up to him staring at him up close, I could smell his faded perfume which is already mixed with the vodka he had been drinking.
IVY'S POINT OF VIEWMy eyes fluttered open, rays of sunlight escaping the window and shining right on my eyes. I closed my eyes in irritation and rolled to the other side of the bed.I groaned on hearing movements in the room, I fin
Comment as many times as you can following some of you.~~~~I need air; I need to be away from him before I say something that I would regret. I walked down the hallway thinking about what I said, maybe I was being dramatic, maybe it's not that deep but it was for me.I need a dri
"Hey baby, how's your vacation with grandma?" I smiled just seeing her chubby cheeks through my phone, she's the cutest."Me encanta aquí mamá." My eyes widened at how good my baby's Spanish is getting."Wow, that's so good." This is the cutest thing ever, I can feel my eyes tearing up.
I came out of the elevator putting my phone in my bag as I walked into the lobby, My feet came to a halt when I spotted Wilder and guess who...The gym bitch.I don't know why but I moved to my left, barr
"Mum's going to flip when she finds out that her two daughters are getting a divorce." Lili mocks as she drags her luggage behind her sister."Tell me about it, the nonexistent demons behind our failed marriages will have their ears full." Ivy drops her bag on the doorstep before she rings the doorbell.
Ivy snuggles under a big blanket as she buries her face on a pillow. Her cheeks red, her face puffy, her eyes dry, she's already tired of crying.She hears the door of her hotel room open, making her lift her head. "Go away!" She yells."How dare you ditch us? This is the worst bachelorette ever, even Lucy is getting cold feet about getting married." Lili yells as she walks
PRESENT DAYIvy walks inside her room and heads over to the closet, she opens it and brings out her suitcase. She starts throwing clothes in when the door opens revealing a nervous-looking Cole. Anyone in his position will be equally nervous, his wife just caught him with his lover and now she is packing her things.
"I have news." Meghan squeals as she enters Ivy's room. Ivy sits up from her bed to see why her friend is so happy."I'm trying to sleep," Ivy grumbled as Meghan jumps on her bed."Well don't, there's big news."
"This party is boring," Lucy grumbles staring at the male stripper on the stage of the bar trying so hard to be sexy, which is cringe. "Where is everyone?" She turns to Lucy whose eyes are glued to her phone."Probably waiting for your next bachelorette." Lucy mocks."Are you making fun of me like the rest?" Lucy glares at her best friend, who knows the reason fo
"Did I mention that you look beautiful?" Harvey takes Meghan's hand into his. They are both in his car, about to drive off for their date."Only 3 times, but you can continue." Meghan smiles. For these past few days, Harvey has made her feel happy and appreciated and she can't remember when she had felt that with a man. He is different from her other baby daddies and it scares her, she is used to the assholes.
"I love you Goddamn it."Ivy lets out a sharp breath, her heart pounding so hard that she swears can hear it beat. Her brain is on shut down, it prevents her from having to process his words and hence she has no reply.Wilder feels that a huge weight should be lifted off him, he has been wanting to express his feelings for her for years but wh

"I know you are avoiding me," Ivy speaks up after a few seconds of uncomfortable silence."And why would I do that?" Wilder gives a mischievous smile just to cover up the fast heartbeat which is a result of being in close proximity to her."I don't know, you probably heard my conversation with Meghan."
