Two Years Later

After work I went home, showered, changed, and then left. I was late meeting my date at the bar we agreed to. When I got there I found him at our usual table near the back. I frowned when I caught a glimpse of his face. He had a big bruise forming on the right side of his face and his eyebrow was slightly split open. When he saw me he gave me in innocent smile.

"Now before you say anything Malia I didn't start it this time." Bill said to me

"Sure you didn't." I said rolling my eyes, I sat down next to him. To get a closer look at the damage

"I didn't really."

"Bill-"I started but he cut me off with a kiss

"I love you." He said smiling at me

"I love you too but baby you can't keep doing this. One of these days you're gonna get really hurt."

"Good thing my girlfriend is a doctor then." He smirked and I pinched his injured eyebrow

"Ow! What was that for?"

"You deserved it, and you're lucky this time you don't need stitches." I said looking at his eyebrow, then wetting a napkin to clean it. Just then Tran came over with Bill's drink, and asked me if I wanted anything I just shook my head and he headed over to the corner with two girls.

"So how was your day?" Bill asked changing the subject, I picked up his drink and placed it on his cheek

"Ice your cheek now. As for my day it was long." I said thinking of the shitty day I had

"What happened?"

"One of the foundations sponsoring the clinic, is talking about pulling out. If they do I don't know if I'll be able to keep it open. Or at least to keep it running as efficiently as it is now." I said

"They won't shut you down they can't. We'll think of something."

"We?" I asked looking at him surprised

"We. That's how we do things together it's you and me." He said smiling at me. I just pulled him in for a kiss

"Oh and Tran." He said once we pulled apart making me laugh

"And Kong." I added and he nodded

"Jin-Soon!" Tran called him by his nickname which always got a small laugh from me

"These tourists need a boat I told them not in the rainy season." Tran said sitting in the seat next to me. I looked up to see a group of people following him

"You're Jin-Soon?" One of the women asked shocked

"Local nickname, name's Johnson. Bill Johnson. It's a pronunciation thing. And you can rent my boat for 25 grand." He said to them

"Now you want me to drive it well that'll cost you fifty." He told them and I looked at him like he was crazy he could not be considering going up river now. It was way too dangerous

"50 grand are you high?" That same woman snapped

"You know what don't answer that. You know what there's no way I'm trusting this guy which the expedition."

"Listen lady. Let's cut the bullshit please. If one of the other charter companies could take you, you'd be on the river by now. You only came to me because you're desperate. Now 50 grand take it or leave it." Bill said taking a sip of his drink. They all looked at each other then nodded

"Okay deal. But you only get half in morning and the other half when you get us back here." A man spoke up and Bill nodded

"We need you ready first thing tomorrow morning." He said then he and Bill shook on and they left. Once they were gone I turned to Bill and glared at him

"What?" He asked me I just grabbed my stuff and left. I was barely out of the door when Bill caught me

"Malia what wrong? What did I do?" I just pushed him out of my away and started walking home, I knew he was following me. When I got there I slammed the door in his face and went to my room, as I was changing into my PJs Bill walked in the room. Damn it I forgot about the key I gave him.

"Lia please talk to me." He begged I grabbed a pillow off the bed and threw it at his head

"How could you? How could you agree to something like that without even talking to me?"

"Lia I didn't mean to upset you but this is a good job. We're getting fifty grand Lia think about what we could do with that money."

"I don't care about the money Bill. What the hell is money gonna do for me if something happens to you?"

"Nothing is going to happen to me."

"You don't know that." I snapped Bill cupped my face and making me look at him

"Malia nothing is going to happen to me. I've been up and down this river a thousand times. I know it like that back of my hand."

"Not in the rainy season."

"Yes I have! And I'm gonna do this, when I get this money I can help you with the clinic, we can fix up the 'Bloody Mary', and we can put the rest away for our future together."

"I don't like this Bill."

"Come with me then." He said

"What?"

"Come with me. This way you can see that I'm alright. You won't have to worry, and besides Tran and I could use an extra hand it is the rainy season after all." He smirked and I hit him on the arm

"But what about the clinic? I can't just leave."

"Call them tell them you're taking a vacation. I'm sure they can manage without you for a week, week and a half tops. You can't even bring your work stuff with you if you want. Please?" He said as he started kissing my neck

"How did this conversation go from me being mad at you, to you seducing me?" I said letting out a small moan as his found my spot

"I can't help the fact that you find me irresistible." He said the pressed his lips against mine he thrust his tongue inside my mouth and was met by my own. He kept running his hands down my body. He moved them to my lower back and brought me closer. He cupped my ass and pulled me up into his arms. I quickly wrapped my legs around him and began running my hands through his hair. Bill laid me on the bed as we kept kissing and touching everywhere.

"Bill." I moaned as he ran his tongue down my neck making me arch my back exposing my breasts to him.

"I want you Lia." He said pulling off my shirt and squeezed my nipples.

"I want you so much. I need to be inside you."

I looked into his eyes and saw his lust and desire. I wanted this just as much he did.

"Take me." I said pulling my lips to her once again.

Bill didn't need another command from me began to rip my clothes off. He left me in my underwear only. I blushed as he stared at my body. I soon became impatient and sat up taking his clothes off. I ran my hands down his sculpted chest and rubbed his crotch over his pants. He let out a groan as I finally unbuttoned his pants and dropped his boxers to the ground without any more hesitation. Bill ripped my panties off not feeling like then wrapped my legs around him.

"Look at me." Bill told me as I felt his erection close to my entrance. I quickly opened my eyes as he entered me slowly. My eyes started to close again.

"Don't close them." He growled I looked at him as he began thrusting in and out. I groaned as he began to move faster

"God, you are so tight." Bill said in my ear I was so close Bill moved his hand between our bodies and began rubbing my clit.

"Bill!" I screamed as I started to come I arched my back and grabbed his shoulders digging my nails in.

"Malia!" He proclaimed as he came.

We lay on the bed, sweaty and satisfied. He wrapped his arms around me and I loved being in his arms nothing ever felt better.

"I love you." I said laying my head on his chest

"I love you too Lia."

"I'm gonna come with you." I said looking up as him as a smiled stretched across his face, he kissed me then laid his forehead on mine

"Marry me." He said and I felt my breath catch in my throat

"What?" I asked making sure I heard him correctly

"Marry me. I don't have a ring or anything like that yet, but I know I love you and these past two years with you have been amazing. I want it to be like this forever."

"Yes."

"Yes?"

"Yes. Yes Bill I will marry you." I said kissing him

"I love you so much." I said against his lips

"I love you too, and I promise I'll get you a ring as soon as possible."

"I don't need a ring. I don't. I just need you."

"I'm gonna get you one I want you to have the best Lia, you deserve that and more."

"I have you and that doesn't get any better."
