Ch 2
An hour had passed and his mouth still stung from the lovemaking that had just ended moments ago. Though he would rather lie their and just hold her tight, he knew that he had to get up and get ready. Even though they were just married, they were not "Honey Mooning" yet, and work was still the task at hand. Today was his last day before they would leave, and he could not wait to be on that plane, off to some exotic Island away from everyone and everything.
"Peanut, I have to go and shower now," he whispered softly into her ear, "You know that I can't be late from my last day of work."
"I know," she replied, "I just don't want this moment to end. If I could lie in this bed here with you forever, you know that I would!" she exclaimed. His lips hovered over her mouth briefly before touching her lips. It was a soft and gentle kiss, but it got his point across.
"I'm going to go and take a shower now Hun, I will see you in a bit!" She gazed after him watching his finely chiseled six pack walk away. She already longed for him to be back in her arms. What would she do without him for one whole afternoon by herself? I guess that she could finish the packing. I mean they were leaving later for the big trip. A Honey Moon that would never be forgotten. She would make sure of that.
Half an hour later:
With a gentle kiss placed on her forehead he was out the door and off to his big day at work. She was supposed to be at work too, but seeing as she ran her own business now, she decided not to go into work after all, no one would miss her. There were plenty of other people that could help the others if needed. She sunk back under the covers for about five minutes day dreaming about what was soon to come, warm breezes and tender moments. It would be heaven on earth. She then crawled out of bed wrapped herself in a sheet and began to get ready for the day. She had a lot of packing to do, and not a lot of time to do it in.
As she scrambled franticly around the very disorderly penthouse trying to get things organized, the phone rang. Running to answer it, she tripped over the cord falling onto her face. She answered in an out of breath tone, only to here the voice of her husband.
"Are you ok?" he asked in a concerned manner, "I mean you sound kind of frazzled."
"I'm fine," she replied, "God just gave me a wake up call."
"Well I am glad to see you are in a good mood. I have some bad news for you." She stayed silent on the other end, waiting for the news she so desperately did not want to hear. "We will not be able to make our trip tonight Peanut, the company needs me. We are doing some heavy business venture stuff and this really can't wait. I am so sorry. We will have to put our trip off for at least a few weeks." Her heart sunk so deep inside her chest that it nearly drowned with her despair.
"Oh, ok. That is alright, I mean I was not even close to being finished our packing," she said with a sigh.
"Are you sure, you sound kind of upset?" he asked
"No, no, don't worry about it. It is ok ... really."
As she hung up the phone, she knew that she could not stay home that day. Not now, knowing she was not getting to go on that romantic Honey Moon that had been planned weeks in advance. She decided that she had better hurry and get ready. She figured she might as well go to work. It was better then sitting at home alone with her favorite flavor of Ben and Jerry's watching her favorite soap on TV.
