Chapter 15:

We danced some more, and then decided we should go home. It was our wedding night, after all. Max drove here in his Mustang, so he drove us home. It was great riding in the car with him, knowing that we were married. We when we arrived at the apartment, I realized that I had to walk up all of those stairs in my dress.

I could carry you, all the way up there.

no, max. I can do it.

We headed up the stairs, and I finally made it, without ruining my dress. I stopped at the front door, and Max opened it. He then turned to me, and picked me up.

"What are you doing?" I asked, laughing.

"Carrying you threw the threshold. Its tradition."

"Well, I guess you can't mess with tradition." I said, still laughing.

He placed me on the floor when I was inside, and he closed the door. I started to head to the bedroom to get out of my dress.

"You sure you don't need any help getting out of you dress?" Max said trying to be clever, but he was just so cute, that it didn't work.

"Well, you could help with the zipper, and after I get it off, then you can help me relax. If you know what I mean." I said to him, in a sultry voice.

He started to ease the zipper down, he made sure that he touched the exposed skin, all the way down. "I know what you mean, and I can't wait. A whole 24 hours away from you is to long."

When he finished with the zipper, I headed into the bedroom, and just pushed the door closed. I laid the dress on the bed, and went to the dresser. I know that teddy would come in handy. Max had to put up with a lot lately, and I was going to give him a reward. When I was ready for Max, and my dress was in the closet, I opened the door, and looked for max. He was sitting on the sofa, watching the T.V. ESPN to be exact.

"Is that television more important than me?" I asked him, and he turned around, and his jaw dropped.

"A women out of my own fantasies." he said, as he approached me.

He wrapped his hands around me, and pulled me close. As we were walking back into the bedroom, I started to unbutton his shirt. Gosh, I needed him. We were so frantic, we didn't want to take it slow. We needed each other now. We fell on the bed, and Max wiggled his way out of his jeans.

"Damn, I am going to have to enjoy this later, but now, I just need you." Max said, and started to take the garment off of me.

"I know what you mean." I said to him.

We held each other tight, as Max thrust into me. It felt so good, to be with him again. I can't go that long without him again. I reached the peak quickly, and so did Max. We laid next to each other trying to catch out breath.

I looked over at max, and smiled "wow."

"You can say that again." he told me, and smiled back.

After 5 minutes, we started again, this time slower. We made love over and over again. We only got about 2 hours of sleep, but we didn't care. We could sleep on the plane.

Maria was going to pick us up at 6:30. It was now 5:45. I should probably get up, but I didn't want leave Max. Honey. Wake up. We have to get ready.

I'm up, just give me a minute. You wore me out. max said to me.

I wore you out? You were the one that wanted to go again.

yeah, that was after the 1st time, you were the one that wanted to go again after the 3rd time

yeah, maybe. But I just can't resist you. I leaned over and started to kiss the exposed skin in his neck, and shoulder.

"well, I guess that's okay. This is our honeymoon after all."

"Yeah, so we should get in the shower, I don't want Ria to have anything to threw in our face going to the airport. And I know she will, if we are late."

I got up, and headed for the shower, Max followed. We washed each other, and made love in between shampooing, and conditioning. This was the life. We got out, and I had just enough time to blow-dry my hair, before Maria got there. I was putting all of my stuff in my suitcase, and double checking to make sure I had everything. The doorbell rang, and Max answered it. I could hear Maria, making comments about our wedding night. You just had to love her. I got to thinking about our wedding night, and Max, and... I forgot to take the pill last night. Well, that's okay, I mean, I just double up today. I found it in my suitcase, and popped two of the pills. Maria walked in, and said "So, I bet you had an amazing night last night."

"Yeah, I did. But I am not giving you any of the details... Not till after the honeymoon." I told her.

"Okay. So are you ready. 4 days in the Bahamas. You must be very excited. When are you going to be getting in on Friday?"

"Well, we are going to stop in Roswell, for a few hours, then head back here, we will get in on Saturday, around 4pm. But Isabelle will drive us home."

"Why are you going to Roswell?" Ria asked with that a confused look on her face.

"Don't know, its just that Max want to go there. So, I am going to humor him." I had to lie to my best friend. I don't think telling her that my husband and her boyfriend are aliens, will not go down that well. She has a tendency to overreact. But I still hate lying to my best friend.

"Okay, well, are you ready?"

"Yeah." I said, as I pulled the huge suitcase off of the bed. I looked over and saw Max's smaller suitcase. "Hey, honey. How about you carry my suitcase, and I will carry yours."

"No, I will carry both of ours." he said, while grabbing them both.

"Okay."

He headed toward the door, Maria walked out, and I turned around to make sure everything was okay. Then I closed the door and locked it. Me and Ria headed down the stairs toward the car, behind Max.

We all got into Ria's car, and Max and I both sat in the back. "Hey, love birds. This is your driver speaking. Have you checked out the society part of the paper this morning?" Ria asked.

"No, why?" I asked her.

"Oh, its just that there are a lot of your wedding pictures in there. Look at this." she handed the paper back to us. I looked at the headline. 'Restaurant Heiress, and Son of Prominent Lawyer, Married.'

"Well, that is a good picture of us under the heading. At least they didn't put bad pictures of us on there." Max commented. I threw the paper in the front seat, and just smiled at him.

"Yeah. I just really hate having my picture in the newspaper every time I do something good or bad." I said.

"Well, chica. You do something good, it goes in the paper. You do something bad, it goes in the tabloids." Maria said, and chuckled to her self. I hated to admit it, but she was right. Thanks god I didn't get my picture in the tabloid that much.

We arrived at the airport around 7:15. That gave us enough time to get threw security, and to wait about 2 hours until the plane was ready to board. The security was murder at the airport.

Ria turned to me, and gave me a hug. "Now, you be careful. Don't decide that you want to run the plane into a building, or into the water. And don't overexert yourself. You would hate it if you or Max pulled a muscle in the middle of your honeymoon." she said, and smile. I gave her a hug, and we said our goodbyes.

I was right. We waited for 2 hours, until the plane arrived, but I had Max. I was okay with that.

We got on the plane, and found our seats. I got the window seat, and Max sat next to me. We were lucky that there wasn't another person next to him. The flight was smooth, and the sky was beautiful. Max would occasionally look out of my window. And I thought about all the fun we would have on our honeymoon.
