Take me there

The sequel to Not Again. Matt let out another big secret this time it leads to a honeymoon in Hawaii.

Matt awoke with a smile on his face. Today was the day. He and Emily were leaving on their honeymoon in a few hours. He would finally have her all to himself without pagers or cell phones going off and demanding their presence no matter what they were doing or where they were. They would have this whole week to just be. The two of them were off to an interesting start to their marriage having hidden it from their co-workers and friends for a week and now it was all out in the open.

He gently rubbed the bare skin of her back not wanting to wake her, but needing to feel her skin against him. The sheet had slipped down around her waist covering only her lower body. He grinned thinking that this was an image he would never tire of. He leaned over and placed a kiss on her exposed shoulder earning a sigh from her lips. Matt scooted closer pressing his chest against her back so that he had better access to her face. He kissed her cheek and stroked her hair deciding that she had slept long enough.

His wife. Wow, that was a term he never thought he would use, but he was certainly glad he could use it now in reference to the beautiful woman lying near him. Matt had never wanted to be married until Emily. When he met her, her threw all of his theories and rules about women out the door along with his bachelorhood to be with the one woman he was told he couldn't have. Now she was the there with him and they both took a step out of their comfort zones to get married and put all of their faith and trust in each other.

Emily smiled slightly not wanting to give away the fact that she was awake. She wanted to see how far he would go to get her awake. He was her husband. She couldn't believe how much she enjoyed saying those words. Matt Flannery, husband. She sighed again causing Matt to add a little more urgency to his kisses. She couldn't believe that today they would actually get to leave on their honeymoon. When they got married she didn't think they would get one, but Matt 

screwed up again and this time to make it up to her, he somehow finagled their way into a week's vacation. She was so excited to see Hawaii. When she lived in NY, she always wanted to go there, but never had the chance. This was just the beginning of their travel adventures she thought as she gave into Matt turning to kiss him back and indicate that she was indeed awake.

The couple made love, got ready, and packed their bags before leaving for the airport an two hours before they had to be their flight. The airport was thirty minutes from their home and they knew how long security takes. It was odd for them both to be without their guns, but they still carried their badges just in case. Emily leaned against Matt in the security line as he held both of their carry-on bags over one shoulder, the other arm wrapped around her waist holding her close. Emily leaned up and kissed him and in that moment they became one of those couples that they used to make fun of whenever they were on assignment and making their way through the airport.

"Matt, I need to get my driver's license changed and my passport too." Emily said turning in his arms as they moved forward a few feet in the line.

"Why?" He asked brushing a strand of hair away from her face.

"Seriously?" She questioned pushing away from him a little bit.

"Well, I wasn't sure you'd want to change your name. I'm glad you do, but it was okay with me if you didn't." Matt replied pulling her back against him as the moved forward once again.

"I'm Mrs. Matthew Flannery. I want everyone to know that, and that you're off the market. "She said with giggling as he kissed her once again, adding as they broke the kiss, "I always said I'd keep my name, but then I met you and that all changed. I can still be independent and be Mrs. Flannery."

The couple handed their id's over to the TSA agent who scanned their boarding passes and directed them into one of the lines for the security check. Matt handed Emily her bag where she put her id in her wallet and took her laptop out of the case to be scanned.She placed her shoes in the plastic bin and helped Matt remember their toiletries in the quart size bag before walking through the 

machine and handing her boarding pass to the agent. He smiles at her and said, "Have a nice trip." He even turned to walk watch her walk away before greeting her now annoyed husband.

Matt gave the man his ticket and passed through the same metal detector causing it to beep. Emily turned and laughed as she grabbed her shoes and put her laptop bag in its bag. Matt realized his phone was still in his pocket. He placed it in a plastic bin and walked through again. The machine beeped one more time. The security officer was getting a little annoyed now. He turned to see Emily still standing there and wondered if she wanted him or if she was with this man. Matt took of his belt and watch causing the machine to beep again. At this point the security officer sent Matt to a little room off to the side. Emily tried pleading their case, showing her badge, and explaining that Matt too was an FBI agent.

Matt paced the small room like a caged animal trying to figure out why he kept setting the metal detector off. He thought for a minute before realizing that he put his badge on this morning, and that he never took it off. Two security officers entered the room.

"Mr. Flannery, we need to see your id." The older man said.

Matt looked in his bag and pulled out his driver's license and then he showed the pair his badge. Explaining that he forgot he had it on and that he and his wife were headed out on their honeymoon. They ran the security wand over Matt and when it didn't beep, they let him go. Matt and Emily jogged to their gate, making their plane right before they closed the gates to boarding. They found their seats with ease, since everyone else was already on board. Emily was surprised to find that Matt had got them First class seats. She slid into the seat by the window while Matt slipped their bags under the seats in front of them. He took his seat with a sigh as Emily broke out in laughter.

"What's so funny?" He asked when she didn't stop.

"You get stopped in security because you left your badge on of all things." She replied still giggling.



"We almost missed our plane. I don't see how that's funny." Matt countered trying not to get angry.

Emily took his hand and turned in her seat so she could face him. "Matt, you have to admit it was funny. Now don't let it spoil our honeymoon." Emily said as she leaned in and kissed him just as the plane took off.

"You're right baby. I love you, and I can't wait to have this week uninterrupted with you." Mat replied returning the kiss.

Emily leaned in and whispered, "If we keep this up we may have to join the mile high club."

Matt leaned in as close as he could get to her before saying, "We already did that on the way back from Denver, remember?"

Emily grinned before laying her head on his shoulder and resting sure she would need it as soon as they got to the hotel if not before. Matt laid his head on top of hers and fell asleep dreaming of their time in Hawaii and hoping he could convince Emily to not leave their room.
