An Unexpected Summer /Emma-Louise
Arya Kyson and I were sitting by the lake, enjoying a glass of wine under the stary night sky, the moon reflecting onto the water. It was breathtaking. We hadn’t been for our swim yet, but I would be going in soon.“I could just stay here forever,” I sigh, “You and me both, beautiful.” He agrees. I dread going back to real life, but I still have some time before that happens.I rest my head on his shoulder, taking everything in. No matter how many times I have been here, the place still impresses me. Kyson’s arm slips around my shoulder and kisses the top of my head.I glance up at him to find him looking at me, neither of us speaking. He seems to be searching for something in my eyes with his. He opens his mouth to speak but closes it, shaking his head.“How about that swim?” he asks, pulling away and getting to his feet. I nodded, a little confused about what was going on. He strips down to his boxers, diving straight into the lake.I watch for him to come back up, “Are you coming

An Unexpected Summer /Emma-Louise
Kyson I had been on a run for the last hour. I needed to clear my head before I headed over to see Arya. I am sure she picked up something was off with me last night, but I am thankful she never said anything. The reason for me being off is because there may be a slight chance that I am starting to feel things for her that I don’t want. It is supposed to be strictly sexual, but recently I have found myself wondering what it would be like having her as my official girlfriend, and that was never the plan.I don’t do relationships. I can’t do them because I know without a doubt that I will fuck it up and break her heart. I need to get a grip of myself because if I don’t, then there is going to be nothing between us, and that isn’t what I want.I stop, taking a breather and enjoying the view, drinking some water. I felt better than I did when I woke up. Once I catch my breath, I make my way back. I need to shower and change before heading off.I glance over at Arya’s cabin and see her si

An Unexpected Summer /Emma-Louise
Arya Kyson had fallen asleep on my sofa. I think we have had too much sun today because it was hot, and I am feeling sort of yucky myself. It is our own fault, we could have come inside or gone somewhere more with a little shade, but it was good at the time.I left him to sleep, grabbing a bottle of water and my laptop, sitting on the floor, my back to the sofa. I opened my computer and tried to work, but my mind kept drifting back to the conversation we had this morning. It explained his change in behaviour, suddenly. I may have been a little offended at first since he made it seem being more with me would be so terrible, or maybe I am overreacting.I sort of lied to him. I do like him more than in a sexual way, but I won’t tell him that because I know it will scare him off. I can keep my feelings to myself for the summer. I hope.I sigh, running my fingers through my hair. I put my attention back on the screen and started typing. At least if I am writing, I will be distracted, but

An Unexpected Summer /Emma-Louise
Kyson Arya still has her body wrapped around mine when I wake up. I don’t know how we managed to sleep in this position, but my neck is feeling now. It is sore and stiff, but it will ease soon.I sigh, glancing down at her, and she is still sound asleep. I push a few stray hairs away from her face. Last night was strange for me because when I realised she had gone to bed without me, I didn’t like it, not one single bit. I can’t explain it! I don’t know if I want even to try and make sense of it, anyway, because that would mean getting in touch with my feelings, something I do not do!I lay staring at the ceiling, debating whether I should move or stay put. I divert my eyes back to Arya and swallow hard. She is so damn beautiful. It is hard for me to stay away from here, even if a considerable part of me knows it would be the right thing. She is too good for me and any guy like me, like her ex.I need to snap out of it and find a way to distract myself, and I soon get an idea in my he

An Unexpected Summer /Emma-Louise
Arya I needed a break from writing because I hadn’t stopped in the last three hours, even for a second. A hiatus seems like a good idea. I wasn’t expecting Kyson to be away as long, but I appreciate him giving me time to work on my book, and I am sure he needs a little alone time too.I make a coffee, heading outside to sit on the patio and enjoy the fresh air. I was writing out here, but it got too warm, so I went back inside. I close my eyes, enjoying the peace and quiet.“Skiving! Shocking!” I hear a familiar voice say, followed by a chuckle. I open my eyes, glaring at Kyson, “My mind and fingers need a break. Did you get lost?” I snicker.“Nah, not lost, just enjoying walking around is all. How many words did you manage?” he smiles, sitting next to me, “Five thousand.” I reply proudly.“Go you, well done, angel,” He replies, leaning over to me softly, “Have you had anything else to eat?” I haven’t even thought about food.“Not yet,” Kyson shakes his head at my reaction, “You need

An Unexpected Summer /Emma-Louise
Kyson I am pissed at Arya, even if I don’t have the right to be. It annoyed me when she didn’t seem phased about Callie. No, we aren’t together, but it would have been nice for her to act like she cared. It isn’t like anything happened with Callie anyway, but it may have well had.I sigh, heading into my cabin and crack open a bottle of Scotch, drinking it straight from the bottle. I probably shouldn’t have stormed off; it would have been a better option if I had gone after her and talked. I have my pride to blame for that.I grab my phone, calling Callie back since there is no reason not to or maybe I am acting out because of how it went down with Arya. Callie answers quickly.“Hey, I thought you were ignoring me,” she laughs, “No, sorry, I was busy when you called. Are you still up for that drink?” I ask.She falls silent for a second, “Yeah, sure, just name the time and place, or you can come to mine?” she suggests. It would probably be easier. I don’t want her to come here and ris

An Unexpected Summer /Emma-Louise
Arya It was getting late, but I was still awake, still writing to stop me from thinking. I haven’t heard from Kyson since we argued, and I don’t expect to hear from him anytime soon. If he wants to be with other women, he can go right ahead, but if he thinks he can always come back to me, then he can go to hell.I close my laptop, setting it aside to take a five-minute break. I switch my music off and enjoy the sound of silence. I close my eyes, inhaling and then exhaling.“Arya?” I squeal and jump at the sound of my name. I open my eyes and see Kyson standing there, looking nervous.“What do you want? Callie, through you, out?” I snap. I had a feeling that is where he went too when he left here, “Nothing happened.” He sighs.“Sure, if you say so,” I roll my eyes, not believing him, “I promise, Arya, nothing happened.” He insisted.“Leave me alone, Kyson. I don’t want to see you. And if you think I am going to fuck you after I know you have been somewhere else, then think again becau

An Unexpected Summer /Emma-Louise
Kyson I had been up since seven this morning because I wanted to go out and pick breakfast up for us. I had gotten us some bagels, cream cheese, fresh fruit, yoghurt and of course, coffee too.I left a note on the pillow next to Arya to let her know I had to nip out in case she thought I had changed my mind and went again. I am so thankful she gave me another chance, even if I didn’t deserve it, but it means I need to work damn hard if I don’t want to lose her, and I plan on exactly doing that.I had set a blanket out right by the lake with our breakfast laid out on it. I headed into her cabin and to the bedroom, but she wasn’t in bed.“Arya, babe, where are you?” I call out. There was no reply. I made my way through the cabin, hearing her in the bathroom, the shower on. I knock loudly on the door, “Can I come in?”“Yeah, come in,” she answers. I let myself in, and she was in the shower.I sit on the toilet seat, “Are you going to be long? I have a surprise for you?” I didn’t want to

An Unexpected Summer /Emma-Louise
Arya It has been over a week since everything went down between Kyson and me. I am proud of myself because I have kept my hormones in check around him, which hasn’t been easy. It may not sound like a long time, but with the sexual tension and chemistry between on, it has felt like months. Thankfully he has been patient with me, understanding I need time before we become intimate again. He has been a sweetheart. He has been taking care of me, spoiling me and making sure I was taking time to write.He had nipped out to stock up on shopping for us. I have been writing, but I need a break. I put my laptop to sleep, heading inside and placed it on the bed, stripping down and pulling on my bikini. I am eager to get into the water, as always. I would have the entire lake to myself, which made it better. I grabbed a towel and a bottle of water, strolled down to the lake, walking into it until it was deep enough to dive in.I love being underwater. There is something rather relaxing about it.

An Unexpected Summer /Emma-Louise
Kyson I have tried my best not to let my mom’s call get to me. I am pissed at her for even asking me to come back to the city for the party. Why the fuck would I want to attend the part of my cousin and ex-best friend who stole the only girl I ever loved from me? Gordon and I were always close since we were kids. We were the same age and grew up together. He was more like a brother than a cousin. We had been through a lot, but when he stole my girlfriend from me, everything changed. Gordon knew I wanted to marry her, but he still went after her. They had been having an affair for a few months before I found out. I caught them together, and I have never been the same since. It was two years ago, but they have recently become engaged—one of the reasons I needed to get away because I couldn’t deal with it. So why my mother thought it was a good idea to ask me? I will never understand. “Christ, Kyson, would you be careful,” Arya says, appearing next to me, taking the knife from my hand.
