"Can you believe we're here?" I asked walking into the honeymoon suite at our hotel in Hawaii.
"Not at all but it seems like forever since we were in New Mexico with our friends and family." Troy told me grinning.
"I know but I'm so glad we're here." I said wrapping my arms around him and giving him a sweet kiss.
"I have something for you." Troy told me kissing my temple before letting me go.
"Troy, you've done enough." I whined to him as he grinned at me.
"Oh it's not only for your benefit." Troy told me as I laughed.
"All right where is this surprise?" I asked him as he slid his hands over my eyes.
"Right this way my princess." He whispered in my ear as we started walking.
I felt myself stop before he uncovered my eyes and told me to open them.
We were standing in the bedroom. My mouth dropped open while I looked around the spacious room. There were rose petals sprinkled on every inch of the room. There were candles lit set up in various places.
"This is amazing." I whispered as Troy came up beside me.
"Come with me." Troy said taking my hand in his and leading me towards the bathroom.
"There's a bath set up for you. Go relax while I set some things up." Troy whispered to me.
I walked in the bathroom and saw a steamy bath awaiting me. I quickly stripped down before getting into the hot water. Sitting right in front of me was the familiar writing on a blue envelope. I grabbed it and slid my finger under the flap. I took out the note and smiled.
Gabriella,
You're my wife now. Can you believe it? I can and I'm so happy. I love you so much.
Now I want you to relax; you've had a busy two weeks and almost no time to rest. This is your time to relax. Now there's a CD player sitting to your right. Push play and relax.
Love,
Troy
I pressed play and all the music he had used in the notes for the last two weeks were on that CD. I smiled thinking about the last two weeks and all the notes Troy and I had gone through.
I laid my head back and just let the relaxation take me over.
6:00 pm
"Gabi dinner's ready." Troy said poking his head into the bedroom where I was reading a book.
"Oh ok. I'll be there in a minute." I told him with a smile.
I finished reading that page before setting my book down and going into the 'living room'. Troy had set up a complete dinner for the two of us.
"I love it." I told him sitting down and grinning at him.
He uncovered the dish and my mouth dropped a little. He had made Spaghetti and Meatballs with garlic bread.
"This looks really good." I told him as he smiled.
"Good I'm glad. I was thinking after dinner we would go down to the beach and walk around." Troy suggested smiling.
"That sounds really good. This is good." I told him motioning to the meal.
"I slaved away while you were taking your bath." Troy told me with a grin.
"Well we know who's going to be cooking at home." I told him smiling.
"I'll be happy to do it." Troy told me as I nodded.
The rest of the meal was filled with scraps on the plates and us just happy to be together.
"Gabi ready to go?" Troy called from the living room.
"I'm slipping on my flip flops. I'll be out in a minute; chill a minute." I told him before hearing him laugh.
"I love you, you know that right?" Troy asked as I went into his arms.
"oh I know it all right. You ready to go?" I asked him as we linked hands.
"As ready as I'll ever be." I told him as we walked out of our suite and towards the elevator.
"What did you bring with?" Troy asked me noticing my purse in on my shoulder.
"I brought along my wallet and camera. I figured I could get some good sunset pictures while we are at the beach." I told him.
"Any chance of getting some shots of us?" Troy asked as I grinned.
"I suppose we can fit some in." I told him as he pushed the button for the lobby.
"Maybe I'll find the inspiration to throw you into the water later on." Troy told me with an evil grin.
"Don't you dare." I said pointing a finger at him.
"For being a teacher, you're pretty mean." Troy accused as I looked at him in shock.
"I'll take that for a compliment." Troy told me as the elevator dinged and we headed towards the beach.
I stayed quiet while Troy chit chatted about whatever came to his mind. I just nodded my head and pushed forward a fake smile.
"Come on; let's sit here." Troy said sitting down on the cool sand.
"It's gorgeous here." I whispered as Troy took my hand in his.
"Now will you tell me what's going on in your mind right now?" Troy asked squeezing my hand.
"You're going to think it's stupid." I told him shaking my head.
"Have I ever thought anything you said was stupid?" Troy asked as I hung my head low.
"No but this is completely stupid." I told him as he put his index finger under my chin.
"Gabi look at me. I love you and nothing you'll ever tell me is going to be stupid. I promise. Now will you tell me?" Troy asked as I looked into his blue eyes.
"All right but you can't laugh." I told him as he nodded his head.
"I swear on my family's lives that I won't laugh or think it's stupid." Troy told me.
"I'm nervous." I whispered quietly so only he could hear.
It took him a few minutes to figure out what I was talking about but then he finally got what I meant.
"Gabi look at me. I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous too. This is a big thing for us. And if you don't want to tonight, then I'm not going to pressure you. We've been through so much and not going through this tonight, isn't going to kill me." Troy told me.
"I love you and thank you for understanding." I told him smiling.
"I mean it; I'm not going to pressure you. You tell me what you want to do tonight." Troy said squeezing my hand.
"It calms me down a little to know that you're just as nervous as I am." I told him.
"I love you and there's nothing I ever want to do to hurt you. But you have to tell me what you're feeling so I can comfort you." Troy told me.
"I will. Thank you again, Troy." I said leaning over and giving him a kiss.
We sat on the beach and watched the sun set. I had taken a lot of great pictures of the sun set and Troy and I. After the sun had set, we sat there and talked about our new life together.
"We never really talked about this but how many kids do you want?" Troy asked me as I smiled.
"I've always seen us with three or four. I just want however many we have to be healthy and happy. What about you?" I asked him.
"The same but Chad, Jason, Ryan, Zeke, and I were talking yesterday while waiting for the wedding to start and we agreed that we're going to make our own team up with all of our kids put together." Troy told me as I shook my head.
"You guys are always going to have basketball in your systems aren't you?" I asked him.
"Oh yeah babe we are." Troy told me.
"Will you promise me something, right here, right now?" I asked him.
"Will you tell me what it is first and then I'll promise you." Troy asked as I smiled.
"Promise me that you'll support our kids no matter what they decide to pursue. If our kids want to do soccer instead of basketball, support them and guide them." I asked him as he smiled.
"Of course I'll support them. I'm hoping at least one will get into basketball." Troy told me.
"With your genes, I don't think that'll be a problem. Besides they're going to influence by their grandpa, uncles, and of course you." I told him smiling.
"We're going to have the best kids in the world." Troy whispered as I smiled at him.
"Once we decide on starting a family that is." I told him.
"How about we try to start one right now?" Troy said getting a grin on his face.
"How about no and wait a while? But you and I can go back to the room." I said kissing his lips.
"That sounds like a good idea to me." Troy said picking me up bridal style and heading back to the hotel.
There you guys go. There'll will be at least one more chapter, maybe two and then I'll start posting the sequel. I'll post the sequel information here once I know what I'm going to call it.
