ONE MONTH LATER"Alright everyone! It is time. Let's do this!" Maggie shouts, smiling and clutching a big notepad in her arms. She is my second favourite cousin after Jennie. She also happens to be the planner of my wedding with Lisa, and ever since she resorted to the job of carrying around that notepad, I have been having a little bit of difficulty telling apart my 'real cousin Maggie' from the 'work alcoholic Maggie.'The fresh ocean breeze whips through the back of my hair, blowing some of it forward to my face. The beach is beautiful. Just the right choice of place for our wedding tomorrow. As my hands lift to push back the hair crowding over my face, Lisa appears by my side. Her smile is as infectious as usual on me. Her hands push back the hair strands from my face, doing what my hands wanted to do. She plants a soft kiss on my lips and stares up at me like I am the only man in the world."You are so fucking handsome you know that right?"I laugh, flagging my hand over my face.
TWO MONTHS LATER. . . . . .Morning bliss.I flutter my eyes open, catching beams of warm sunlight spilling into the room, washing all over Kayden's breathtaking face and naked muscled back. He is lying on his stomach, one side of his face half buried into his pillow, his deep emerald eyes wide awake, staring at me.For a while, I suck in the silence of this moment, both of us not saying anything to each other. I love watching him wake up in the mornings, but today, he beat me to it.He shifts on his pillow, sprinkles of his messy hair strands coating his brows."Good morning." I mutter, reaching out to brush the hair strands off his face. "You look so fucking handsome."He smiles. "Is that a compliment or your attempt to try to fuck me?"I bite down on my lower lip, stifling a laugh. "Both."He smirks, lifting up his head from his pillow. He leans over and kisses me. Slow and soft, but yet firm. I feel the fire igniting in my veins, slowly waking up my body muscles. I grab a fistful

"I am going to whip your ass Lisa!" Kayden shouts, nudging me with his arm. His fingers are punching hard and fast on the buttons of his PS console, trying to knock me out of the game.I scoff. "We will see about that."My fingers move faster on my buttons, playing hard not to be defeated by Kayden. I am never one to back down from a challenge, and Kayden knows this, hence the reason why he is still nudging me with his arm and trying to distract me. His cologne is not helping matters, and I curse myself for even thinking about how sexy his cologne smells."Boom!" Kayden shouts, throwing his console to the rug and jumping up to his feet. It is just a split second, but I feel my heart stop when 'GAME OVER' shows on the screen, broadcasting my defeat.Oh fuck me! Not again! Why can't I just get my shit together whenever I am around Kayden?!Kayden sticks out his tongue at me, whining his muscled waist in that sexy way that just reminds me of a fucking hot stripper. Gosh! The V-line of hi
Lisa's back is faced to me. I catch the familiar scent of her brown hair, and for a moment, I forget how to breathe. Her hair always smells like fresh spring water with a mix of vanilla. Right now, it is tied up in a messy bun. My eyes follow the free strands of her hair as they cascade down to her neck. The skin of her neck is so fair and smooth. A black dotted birth mark sits pretty on the right side of her neck, tempting me so bad to kiss her there. And to kiss her on every other part of her body.I want to kiss her on the lips, and tell her that I love her. But I know Lisa. She will walk out of my house, and she will never speak to me in the same way again."Kayden?"Her voice trails into my thoughts like a melody. And also like a warning.'This is the voice of the woman you can't have. So keep your feelings to yourself Kayden.'I cough, partly to clear the annoying voice in my head, and partly to tell Lisa that I heard her call my name. I bring out the diamond necklace from the bo
Kayden's black BMW drives into a resort, and true to my ever unmistakable guts, I sharply inhale the scent of fresh air and moist breeze. There must be water nearby. My thoughts are confirmed when Kayden turns his car off and I hear the distant crashing of water waves.We alight from the car, and Kayden throws his key to the valet, who catches it."Steve, please take good care of my car.""Okay sir." The fair Steve replies, wearing a bright smile over his chubby face. I can't seem to be able to shake off the feeling that he is just a high school grad who got lucky with getting a valet job in a luxury resort like this.Anyway, his smile is so bright. And so cute.Kayden and I begin to walk towards the door entrance of the resort, and I start to feel worried that Sandra has not even sent me a text or even called me since this morning. We talked just fine yesterday, but why is she suddenly MIA today?Today, of all days? Today that is my birthday?I know her fashion design job is taking q
I am surprised to find Ethan standing beside Kayden, his dark brown eyes scrutinizing Sandra and me. He coughs loudly again, as if to tell us for certain that he was the one that coughed before.I roll my eyes. "Ethan, relax. It is not like I am trying to steal your girlfriend or something."He simply smiles, showing off his sparkling white teeth. "Lisa, even if you wanted to, it won't be possible, because she is already mine.""Awww." Sandra blushes, and I roll my eyes again when the both of them lean towards each other. I know what is coming, so I look away.I hear the smooching of their lips, and for some funny reason, I start to feel goosebumps all over my skin. Their raspy sounds also feels like I am listening to some intimate moans echoing right from a porn video.This should be normal. I mean, Ethan and Sandra kiss around Kayden and I all the time, but right now, with Kayden's body just about two meters away from my goosebumped skin, I find myself begging in my heart of hearts
Sandra and Ethan are kissing and giggling, obviously lost in their own world. I avert my eyes from them and stare out at the distant figure of the woman I love, watching as the wind whips through her long hair and her strapless floral dress.God she is beautiful. She is just so beautiful.My heart tugs with guilt. I know something was wrong immediately she said she wanted to go see the beach. I mean nothing is wrong with her wanting to see the beach. It is just that, the way she said it feels like something is bothering her, and I am kind of feeling bad that I am still seated here while she is over there, thinking about only God-knows-what."Hey guys, uhm, I will be right back." I announce to the kissing duo, standing up from my chair.They just hum in response, quite busy with their lips and hands on each other. God, help me. I feel so oppressed by them.I grab my phone and a bottle of water from the table before I leave.The air smells more fresh and feels more moist to the skin as
