SPRING BREAK

LEID

"Morning Gorgeous," Zed smiled as he nuzzled his nose against her neck. "How's the hand?"

Addison stretched and wiggled her fingers. "Good as new. The swelling seems to have gone down." She giggled as his fingers tickled her sides under her shirt.

Zed smacked a loud kiss on her lips before he sat up smiling. "I can't wait for this afternoon!"

"Ah yes, the big 'surprise'," she giggled making air quotes. "You're lucky I like surprises."

"I'd even like this surprise."

"You're only saying that because you know what it is."

Zed shrugged. "Alright. I need a shower. Want to join?"

"You know I do," she smiled, sitting up and kissing him. "I'm going to go grab a cup of coffee. I'll meet you in there, Handsome."

"Hurry up," he smiled against her lips before he hopped off the bed and walked across the room towards the en suite.

Addison sighed dreamily as she watched him walk in. She quickly got out of bed and walked to the bedroom door. Just as she opened it, Dale was standing on the other side with his hand raised up to knock.

"Daddy!" Addison said nervously, holding the door as closed as possible while still standing in the doorframe. "What are you...I'm just waiting for Eliza to get out of the shower."

"Rooooooooxxxxxxxaaaaannnnee…."

Dale stifled a laugh. "Well, Eliza's sure sings a lot like Zed."

"What? Pshhh," she waved him off. "That's just..."

"Roxanne...Put on the red light….Roxa….Put on the red light…."

Addison groaned and pinched the bridge of her nose before opening the door all the way and letting her father into the room.

"Besides, Eliza's already in the main house with Bucky," he said as he walked into the room and took a seat in the chair by the back window.

"So….exactly how much trouble am I in?"

Dale let out a small laugh. "Unlike your mother, I didn't think for a second that you four wouldn't have your current sleeping arrangements."

"Dad, I..."

Dale waved her off. "Don't worry, I won't tell your mom. And after what happened yesterday, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a teensy bit grateful you have Zed here in case something happens. I never really did like that kid..."

Addison let out a sigh of relief. "Thank yo…."

"But..."

"I knew I was speaking too soon."

"But I do expect both of you to come to breakfast in the house. Everyone else is already over there. Dinner last night was great, but we'd like to spend a little more time with you before we head over to the Ritz this afternoon for the next few days."

"I think we can do that," she said as she hugged him.

Just then Zed walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel. "Changed your min…." He stopped and took in the scene before him. "Oh dear lord, I'm dead."

Dale laughed again. "I'm going to pretend this..." he said motioning all around them, "never happened." He stood up and kissed Addison on top the head. "See you in a few minutes. "Oh, and Zed...stick to college and football...I don't think singing is in the cards."

"Well…." Addison said as she closed the door behind her father. "That was terrifying."

Zed giggled nervously. "You think you were terrified! I've never been so thankful that I opted for the towel."

"Such a goofball," she smiled, reaching out and pulling him closer to her. She bit her lip as she ran her hands across the muscles in his back.

"Oh no, you don't."

"Don't what?"

"Look at me like that...and you know exactly what I'm talking about. That was WAY too close a call. We're not doing ANYTHING until your parents are off the property."

Addison pouted for a moment before sighing dramatically. "Fine...We have to go meet everyone in the main house for breakfast anyway."

Zed leaned down and kissed her softly. "Well, then I guess we should get going."

An hour or so later, as breakfast was finally wrapping up, they heard the back door open up.

"Knock, knock!"

They all looked towards the backdoor as Graham walked in.

"Good morning Tordjman's, Donnelly's and...guests?" he shrugged, sitting down at the table next to Bucky and Trevor.

"How's the nose, man?" Bucky asked as he and Graham did a well-practiced handshake.

"Not broken, thank God."

"Well that's a shame," Addison mumbled under her breath.

"Addison Meghan Elizabeth Donnelly!" Missy chastised. "What on Earth?"

Bucky rolled his eyes. "She's been moody since we left Seabrook."

"After what you did to poor Graham yesterday, you should be apologizing, not making snarky remarks."

"But Mom! It wasn't my fault! He walked into my room while I was napping! I thought he was a robber...or worse..." she said glaring at Graham. "It was purely instinct. Thank goodness Dad made me take all those self-defense classes."

"I agree with her, Missy dear," Dale said coming to Addison's defense.

"So do I, Mayor Missy," Graham added. "I should never have walked in uninvited and as soon as I realized Addison was asleep, I should have just walked right back out. She absolutely did the right thing. Painful lesson learned. No apology needed."

"Yet you walked right in here this morning..." she mumbled quietly enough that only Zed and Eliza could here. Both of them snickering under their breath.

"Well, I hope you two can move past this. It's so nice to have you kids all together again," Missy smiled. "Maybe Friday we can all get together and have a picnic on the beach like we used to!"

"That would be wonderful, Mayor Missy. Thank you so much."

"Oh, you're welcome, Graham dear."

"Yeah, Mom...thank you."

Zed squeezed her leg softly under the table getting her attention. When Addison glance up to him he shook his head ever so slightly before he mouthed "Not happening."

"Thank you," she mouthed back before turning her attention back towards her mother who was busy making plans for a beachside picnic.

The afternoon sun was bright, but they were still on a deadline as Addison and Eliza met the boys by the pool.

Zed's jaw dropped open when he saw her. She was all lean legs, and tight t-shirt, shorts, and flowing white hair. She was breathtaking.

Addison threw her arms around his neck and kissed him softly.

"Girl you look delicious, oh I mean gorgeous."

"I swear you two make me want to vomit," Eliza teased as Bucky trailed kisses down her neck.

Addison let out a laugh. "I thought we were in a hurry? Where are we going anyway?"

"It's a surprise, duh..." Bucky smiled as they all started down the long driveway towards the garage. "I'm driving, so I'm picking the car," he said grabbing a set of keys off the wall.

"And of course you picked that one," Addison laughed when he walked towards the Maserati.

"What? It's more fun than the Benz!"

The drive to their first destination was filled with smiles, laughter, and a lot of singing along with the radio. When they pulled into the parking lot, Addison let out a gasp.

"Hilo Hattie?! I haven't been here in FOREVER!"

Eliza just looked at them with a confused expression on her face. "The big surprise is shopping?"

Bucky laughed as he leaned over and kissed her cheek. "It's not JUST shopping, Baby. It's Hilo Hattie! Home of not just the world's largest selection of Hawaiian shirts, but also the home of the world's largest Hawaiian shirt!"

"DUUUUUUUDE!" Zed exclaimed as he and Addison got out of the car. "We're so taking pictures in front of that!" Before Bucky or Eliza could say anything, Zed and Addison had run across the parking lot and were snapping selfies in front of the large shirt.

"So…." Addison smiled as she put her phone in her back pocket. "What are you two up to?"

He smiled and draped his arm around her shoulder. "What do you mean?"

She looked up at him and rolled her eyes. "Fine...don't tell me. But I'm picking out a shirt for you!"

"Pick out whatever you want, Gorgeous. My treat."

Her eyes lit up. "Really?"

"Really. Now go. We only have 30 minutes before we need to be at our next super secret location."

Addison spun around, scanning the merchandise surrounding them. "I almost don't know where to start!"

"Maybe start wh..."

"Shhhh….I'm a girl. That was rhetorical. Stay quiet and try to keep up," she laughed as she started to flip through the racks.

Zed followed her through the various sections as she picked up random items to try on until they finally reached the dressing room. Bucky was already sitting in the provided 'guy' chair waiting for Eliza.

"I'll be right out!"

Zed sat on the arm of Bucky's chair just as Eliza came out of the dressing room.

"How do I look?"

"Touristy," Zed deadpanned, earning him a shove off the chair from Bucky.

"Baby," Bucky said as he stood up and walked over to her side. "That color looks amazing on you."

"Thanks, did you find a shirt you like?"

"Yup, it's already up at the register. Come on," he said as he grabbed her hand and went to check out. "Zed, we'll meet you in the car."

"See you guys in a minute," he said sitting down in the chair he had been shoved off of a moment ago. As he sat looking around the store, a jewelry case caught his eye. He quickly stood up and sprinted over to it, suddenly knowing exactly what he wanted to do. He scanned the case and spotted what he was looking for. By the time he flagged down the salesperson and purchased what he had picked out, Addison was standing on her tip-toes looking around the store for him. He rushed back over to the dressing rooms where she was.

"So..." she said as she twirled around in a circle, modeling the dress she had picked out. "Do you like?"

"You look breathtaking," he said as he gazed at her in a blue-based flowery sundress.

"Is that a yes?"

"Definitely a yes," he whispered running his hand down her bare arm. "Keep it on. You're wearing it tonight."

Addison kissed him softly. "I hope you like the print."

"I do."

"Good," she smiled reaching into the dressing room and pulling out a matching shirt for him.

Zed laughed as he took off his t-shirt and put on the shirt she had picked out. He pulled the tags off both and walked with her towards the checkout. "Anything else you want while we're here?"

"I've got you. That's all I need," she whispered with a huge smile across her face as they paid for their new outfits.

As they walked hand in hand back to the car, Zed pulled her hand up to his lips and gently kissed it. "You look beautiful, Addison.

"I feel beautiful. Thank you for the dress."

"You're very welcome, Gorgeous."

"You don't think the matchy matchy outfits are too much...do you?" she asked hesitantly.

Zed waved her off. "Are you kidding me? I'm glad we match. I want everyone there to know that I'm the guy lucky enough to get to wear a shirt that matches my incredibly stunning girlfriend's dress. Not too cheesy for you...is it?"

She stood on her tippy toes and kissed his cheek. "I love your cheesy! Now come on! I can't wait to see what you guys have planned!"

The mood was light and easy on the drive. When they finally pulled into a large lot on the other side of a long line of tourist buses and parked, Addison, gasped.

"A luau?!" Addison and Eliza both said in unison as they got out the car.

"Surprise!" Zed and Bucky said as their girls hugged them tightly.

They walked to the entrance and down the bamboo corridor that led to the greeters. They handed them Mai Tai's and a girl in a traditional hula outfit welcomed them. "Aloha. Step on up, and we'll take your picture as a souvenir. You have the option to purchase the picture at the end of the evening."

They were shuffled forward by a big burly man and suddenly another man with very large parrots was standing very close to them, warning them. "I'm going to put one on each of your shoulders. Don't make any quick movements, scare, or harm the birds. Mahalo."

Eliza froze.

"What's wrong baby?" Bucky asked leaning into her.

"I don't do birds...especially ones that large."

Bucky smiled and kissed the top of her hair. "Addie, Zed, you guys go first. We'll go next, sans birds."

Addison was only too happy to pose with the giant birds. She had the biggest grin on her face as the photographer positioned them for their photo. Zed couldn't look away from her.

"CHEEEEEEEESE!" The flash went off. Addison looked up at Zed and laughed. "You weren't looking at the camera, silly!"

"That's entirely your fault. You look too cute right now."

The photographer held his finger up and said. "One more. Face me and smile." He snapped another shot while they laughed gently, careful not to scare the birds. The birds were immediately removed from their shoulders and they were shuffled along so Bucky and Eliza could take their pictures.

Addison took Zed's free hand. "This is so much fun! I've always wanted to do this!"

"I know, Bucky mentioned it when we were in Orlando a few weeks ago. We've been planning this ever since."

Addison stopped walking and turned to look at him. "Thank you."

"You're welcome, Gorgeous," he whispered as he leaned down and kissed her.

"That's enough, you two!" Bucky said walking up behind them. "Let's go make a lei!"

Thirty minutes later, Zed had managed to make a bracelet after destroying about a hundred flowers trying to shove a needle through their tiny delicate center, which was still better than what Eliza had managed, opting to just shove one of the flowers into her hair. On the other hand, Addison and Bucky were now the proud new owners of perfect, handmade leis. Bucky proudly placed his around Eliza's neck.

As Zed slipped his bracelet onto Addison's ankle, he ran his hand up her calf, checking her out covered head to touristy toe. He smiled, "Have I mentioned how hot you look tonight?"

Addison giggled and pulled him up for a kiss. "Hot enough to get leid later?" she smiled, proud of her pun.

"Hot enough to get leid now."

Addison playfully smacked his chest, as she blushed. "You say the sweetest things, Mr. Necrodopolus…come on, I spy some games out on the beach!"

The four of them walked out to the beach where the old fashioned games area was set up. Zed stood behind Addison with his arms wrapped around her waist and his head resting on the top of hers as they waited in line for the spear toss.

"Z?" Addison whispered, knowing that he would still be able to hear her. "Tell me everything is always going to be this perfect."

He slowly turned her around, lifting her chin up and pulling her against his body. "I love you." He pushed a section of her hair that the wind had carried across her face back. "I can't promise that things will always be perfect, but I can promise that I will always love you."

"I swear you two are cavity-inducing," Bucky laughed as he stepped forward in line.

"I agree...but less talking...go spear me a target, baby!" Eliza smiled, pushing him forward.

Bucky turned and suddenly a guy in a Hawaiian loincloth was handing him a spear. "It's simple, haole. Take the spear in your hand and hit the target. Like this," he said, throwing the spear and hitting the bulls-eye. "See? Simple."

Bucky threw the javelin as hard as he could and missed the target completely. The guy snickered under his breath and looked to Zed. "You want to humiliate yourself like this guy," he said motioning towards Bucky."

"Hey!" Bucky exclaimed as Eliza held him back from going after the guy.

"Yes, he'll try!" Addison said proudly as she pushed Zed forward to the table of spears. She stood on her tiptoes and whispered in his ear, "You hit that target and I'll make the drive home a drive you won't forget."

Zed's jaw dropped. She definitely knew how to motivate him. He puffed his chest out and stepped up. The guy eyed Addison up and down, lingering a little too long on her chest for Zed's liking. Zed growled as he grabbed the spear out of the guy's hand and gave him a glare that set him straight. With all his strength and jealousy, he angled the spear back and threw it, focusing on the target.

"Yes!" Addison exclaimed, jumping up and down and clapping. She grabbed his face and her tongue entered his mouth in a possessive show. Just as he slid his hand up her sides, a loud conch shell is blown in the distance, breaking them out of their little bubble. Addison smiled, "I'm so proud of you!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Bucky mumbled. "I'm hungry. Let's go eat."

Zed smirked at the loincloth guy but was yanked away too fast to show off.

After they were seated at one of the long banquet tables, the staff started handing out trays of food. The place was packed but ran like a well-oiled machine.

Zed worked around his divided plate, tasting one bite of each thing on his plate until he got to the Poi. "What is this? He asked pointing at it with his plastic fork.

"Poi," Bucky said as Addison smiled.

"What's Poi?" Eliza asked.

"It's made from the Taro root," he explained.

"Why is it grey? It looks like the slop they used to serve us in the cafeteria," Zed said hesitantly.

Addison rolled her eyes. "Just try it."

Coating the end of his fork, he wiped the tines onto his tongue. He scrunched his nose up and then smiled. "Yo, E. You've got to try this!"

"Really?"

"Yeah!"

Eliza followed his lead and tasted a small amount, as Zed held in a laugh. "You jerk! Why did you let me put that in my mouth!" she huffed, wiping her tongue on her napkin as Zed threw his head back and laughed.

"Some people love it, others say it's an acquired taste," Bucky said offering her some of his Mai Tai.

She happily took a sip. "Well, it's not a taste I want to acquire. I did my time with nasty food. Never again!"

They were all laughing when the entertainment began. Five hula girls started dancing across the stage and were soon joined by a group of male performers doing some really loud chanting and stomping behind them. They turned to the stage and watched the show.

Twenty minutes of hip shaking, foot stomping, fire breathing action later, the dancers began to roam the audience gathering participants.

"I hate when this kind of thing happens," Eliza muttered under her breath.

Zed laughed quietly to himself. "You really shouldn't have said that, E..." Before she could respond, Bucky and Zed were pulling her up to her feet, volunteering her to participate. Begrudgingly she followed the hula girls up onto the stage.

When she realized there were probably five hundred people watching them on stage, she momentarily froze. Her eyes searched the audience until she found Bucky. The second they locked eyes, she smiled and started to loosen up. She tried to follow the girl next to her, but apparently, she was doing it all wrong. The hula girl pulled and pushed her hips side to side, but it seemed to be no use, so Eliza simply started to do her own thing, laughing and having a fun time anyway. When the dance was over they were escorted back to their seats.

Bucky attacked her with kisses when she sat down. "That was so awesome, Baby!"

"And I have the whole thing recorded!" Zed laughed

"Show anyone and I will end you," she teased as she snuggled herself into Bucky's side.

After the show ended, and they finished their meal, they purchased their souvenir photos. As they walked towards the car, Zed and Addison held hands. Their body language to any passerby could be mistaken for newlyweds. He tightened his hold on her liking the possibility of that thought.

On the drive home, a cool spring rain began to come down. Bucky pulled over as Zed and Addison worked quickly to pull the top up.

The rain continued to pick up as they pulled into the driveway and parked in the garage. They stood at the entrance, "Well…"Bucky said, "it's now or never!" He grabbed Eliza's hand and ran through the rain towards the guest house.

Zed and Addison looked at each other and smiled before running into the rain as well.

Halfway down the path, Addison stopped running and pulled Zed back to her. Looking up into his eyes, she stood there pressed against his chest. The rain was getting heavier, soaking them completely. Her hair glued itself to her face and his usually messy hair pressed down against his forehead.

"Zed," she whispered, her voice filled with need.

In one swift movement, he took her face in his hands and their lips were together. The passion igniting between them. Even though the cool rain poured down on them, the heat between them prevented them from feeling the chill.

She pulled back and looked at him through dark eyelashes covered in droplets. "I need you, Zed. I love you."

His body met hers in a flurry of hand, lips, and legs coming together. His tongue entered her mouth without warning, weakening her body into his.

Mingled with gasped breaths, he moaned into her mouth, "I love you." Their lips never parted, not needing words to express what they felt. It was natural for them. Their bodies saying more than their words ever could.

He moved her backward against the side of the house and under the small protective eave of the roof. Her hands finding purchase against his muscular abs and pulling his shirt up enough to reveal his stomach. She needed him and he needed her. His hands skimmed and then stopped on her breasts as he attacked her neck with hot, open-mouthed kisses that could melt an iceberg. Her hips squirmed against him needing more, needing all of him. When his hands slid down her body to the hem of her dress, they slipped underneath. She threw her head back, hitting the hard structure that her body was firmly pressed against. She pulled his shorts open in one swift and easy move, making him moan against her neck.

"Why does it feel like we haven't been together in ages?"

"I feel the same way, Gorgeous," he whispered against her neck, giving in to the insatiable need they had for each other. His lithe fingers slid into her panties and into her hot center, causing her to gasp aloud. He started kissing her as the sensation deep inside her started to tighten and twist. His fingers slid out and he leaned back to look at her as he removed his shorts.

They come together as the rain continued to pour down on them. Their world engulfed by sighs and moans, frenzied bodies slick and steady, as they found a rhythm, all their own.

"Zed...you feel so good. This is...we are...perfect." She wrapped her arms around his neck and his lips caressed hers. Her mind went fuzzy, lost in the sensations of him.

She kissed from his ear down across his jaw. Not being able to resist anymore, she licked his stubbly jaw and under his chin, lightly nipping before moving to the smooth spot behind his ear. His head tilted to the side allowing her access as he growled low in his chest, enjoying the feel of her teeth on his skin.

When he turned and took her mouth with his, his tongue swirled with hers. "Oh, Zed." She came apart on top of him, squeezing her eyes shut and getting lost in all that was them.

He buried his head into the crook of her neck and groaned through his personal bliss.

They stayed still, their bodies interlocked and surrounded by heavy breathing. The rain started to lighten and then stopped. Addison let out a shiver.

He lifted her up in his arms and cradled her against his chest. Turning, he walked down the path, kissing the top of her wet head, and carried her over the threshold into the guesthouse. On a mission, he carried her into the bathroom and set her on the edge of the large jetted tub. As the bathtub filled, he continued his kisses, pecking them across her cheek and up her temple. His breath was warm and the contact sweet, satisfying the desperation she felt minutes earlier.

"You should take off your clothes. The water will warm you up." The words seemed contradictory to the sentiment, but she knew what he meant.

"I'm warm on the inside," she said, with a soft laugh following.

He laughed gently as he stood to take his own shirt off. It's stuck to him since it was soaked and he had to peel it off over his head to remove it. The sight of his hard body and concern for her making her feel loved and making her tummy flutter. "Get in the tub, Gorgeous, so you can get warm on the outside too."

He stepped in and held a hand out to her. She pulled the soaked dress over her head and removed her bra, taking his hand she stepped into the water. She worked her way down onto his lap, resting her back against his chest. Her head dropped back against his shoulder and she sighed, content as she wrapped his arms around her waist under the water. He kissed her head softly. "I love you."

"I love you, too," she whispered, unable to hide her smile. "Zed..."

"Yeah?"

"Thank you for today." She slid her cheek against his chest and looked up at him. "It was everything I always dreamed it would be and more."

He ran his nose against hers and kissed her sweetly on the lips. "I hope I can always make your dreams come true." He took the bar of soap and dipped it beneath the water running it across her stomach and under her breasts. He slid back down her stomach, his hand dipping between her legs. A sharp intake of air trapped itself and she held her breath.

"Breathe, Gorgeous, breathe," he whispered, running his tongue across the shell of her ear.

She tried to comply, but only short, ragged breaths escaped. She spun her body around in the water so that she was straddling him. She kissed him, licking his bottom lip before entering his mouth. She moaned, craving him again already. She adjusted herself, placing his growing erection right against her most needy spot.

His dreamy eyes focused on hers. His hands pulled her head to his and they kissed, not frenzied or crazy, just sweet, sincere, and meaningful.

Her body went on autopilot and she rubbed against him searching for the feeling that only he could give her. Picking up the pace of her grinding.

He weaved his hands into her tangled hair, still wet from the rain. He held them together until they both needed oxygen. She stared down at him, heated and lusty. "I..." she swallowed hard, "Zed..." she bit his lip softly. "I think we need to move this to the bed."

"Gladly," he whispered, scooping her up …..
