CHAPTER 48

"Based on things right now...I'd have to choose Matt." She spoke softly but her eyes were still lost. She looked so unsure of herself and it wasn't the most confident answer.

"And you think that'll change as soon as we get back home?"

"Yes...no...I don't really know..." She stumbled. "I do like Joey don't get me wrong..." She paused. "It's just the matter of availability. He's never around when I need him, and he makes all these promises for just me and him to get away but then he gets called into work again. It feels like work is a lot more important than me and I'm simply there when he needs a pick me up."

"And what about Matt?"

"He's always been there for me. No matter what." Amy smiled. "I knew I could always depend on him for anything. Hell he'd quit wrestling for me if I asked him to in a heartbeat; he's even told me so. Although I'd never do such a thing, just the thought of knowing what lengths he'd go to for me is incredible."

"Well isn't that what's most important? Someone's who's entirely dedicated to you?"

"Sure...but..." She closed her eyes trying to stop the tears. "I still can't bring myself to forgive Matt for what he did. I can't. God knows I've tried my hardest to let it go but I still can't. It seems like there will always be a part of me that is unwilling to let go of the fact that he cheated on me." She shifted positions. "And until then, I can't allow myself to be with him."

"Amy, he's done everything to try and make up for what he did. It's not like he slept with the girl-"

"That's not the point Beth!" Amy said frantically. "Fact of the matter is he was unfaithful to me and I can't let that go! I want to, I really do but something won't let me."

"You're scared." She said softly. "That's the something that won't let you forgive Matt for what he did."

"No it's not." Amy said defending herself.

"Yes it is." Beth kept her cool. "You're afraid that as soon as things start to pick up, he's going to cheat on you again and everything will start all over. You're willing to never start anything with Matt again just in case there is the slightest possibility of you getting hurt for the second time. But that's not going to happen because Matt made one mistake which he never intended on making in the first place-"

"But he did!" Amy cried. "He did it and how do we know that he won't do it again? You never know-"

"And you'll never know if you don't give him the chance to prove you wrong. It may seem like I don't know what I'm talking about but I do." Beth made Amy look at her. "Jeff did cheat on me in the beginning. It was like a week before our 1-year anniversary and Jeff went out with the guys, got a little drunk and I caught him making out with the stripper from the party. Her being practically naked made things a lot worse." Beth said shakily. Amy looked at her in disbelief.

"I never knew." Amy said sympathetically.

"That's why Jeff got so angry that Matt did the same stupid thing he did." Beth fidgeted with her rings. "But had I not gotten over the fact that he was unfaithful to me, I wouldn't be sitting here today the happiest I've ever been with a baby on the way." Beth smiled as she rubbed her stomach. "Don't let this one incident hold you back from being as happy as you possibly can because I know that only Matt can make you happy. If you don't see it now, you'll see it eventually." Beth stood up. "C'mon, we gotta go back."

"I-I can't-" She protested but Beth shook her head.

"We have to. It's our last day here, let's enjoy it and worry about things later."

-----

As soon as they got back to the house, Matt stood up quickly walking over to Amy. She shook her head as she hugged Matt tightly. Beth saw Jeff start to ask questions but she silenced him before he could ruin the moment.

They ate breakfast as they talked about their last day in Hawaii. Their plane was scheduled to leave first thing tomorrow morning so they all got an early start on the day's events.

They decided to do some surfing since it was Hawaii and that is what they are known for. Amy and Beth just sat on a surfboard in the water talking away while Jeff and Matt tried to ride the waves without killing themselves.

Matt pulled up next to them on his stomach as Amy looked over at him.

"Come on, join us." He urged tugging on her arm. The girls had done some surfing earlier but after too many falls they decided to give up. Amy shook her head but Matt insisted.

"Go away!" Beth yelled sarcastically as she flipped over his surfboard but since Matt still had Amy's arm, the board that they were both on tipped over as well. Beth screamed until Jeff finally pulled her out as Matt grabbed Amy. As soon as they came to surface, he didn't know why but he kissed her. She pulled away shakily.

"I didn't mean to-"

She cut him off my dunking him back in the water as she swam for her life. He swam quickly after her until she reached land and began running around the beach. Matt trapped her as he charged at her and threw her over his shoulder.

"Let me down!" She squirmed as she gasped for air for laughing so hard.

He caressed her thong clad bottom as she continued to giggle. He planted a kiss on one side before setting her back down. She grinned at him. The day progressed like the last as Matt and Amy continued to fool around during the different parts of the day.

Night time came as they went to a luau on the beach. They shared drinks and danced the night away before heading back to the estate.

Amy and Matt walked hand in hand sadly. It was their last day in Hawaii and neither wanted to leave and face what was waiting for them back home.

"Ames, I don't know what's going to happen to us...if anything happens to us...but-" Amy didn't let him finish. She just looked at him and that was enough to make him stop.

"Beth told me that whatever happens, do it and worry about it later. She told me to enjoy myself..." She started, "And that's what I intend on doing. It's our last day here, it's the last chance I'll get to having you all to myself." She whispered as they headed back to her room and repeated the actions the night before.
