The weekend had approached and she was ecstatic.

"You seem really happy." Derek smirked and took out the cooler.

"I just really enjoy the beach." She felt a slight ping against her heart, as she wasn't completely honest. Adam was already on the beach and she wanted to see him even if she just saw him four days ago.

"Becky!" Isis smiled wide as she pulled her friend in for a hug. "It has been too long, Hun. And where is this hunk of meat you mentioned?"

The only way she convinced Derek to let Adam join them was to tell him she was trying to set Isis up. Adam didn't know but Isis was excited to meet the guy as she had seen a few pictures online.

Eric soon reappeared with all sort of things in his hands and fist bumped Derek. They were best friends from high school and many would call them the Rek's as their names rhymed.

It took them about ten minutes to find where Adam was. He was on his phone when Becky seemed to be at loss of words. Luckily for her, Isis spoke her mind. "God damn. Bless you for setting this up," she whispered to her.

Becky tried her hardest to cover up her expression but Derek saw her admiring the ex. He didn't like it one bit. Once past the awkward introductions, Isis quickly clung to Adam.

Becky felt a surge of jealousy inside her as they saw them flirting in the water- their small touches and their smiles. Derek brought her out of her trance and she could tell he was mad.

"What, babe?" Becky tried to act innocent when she knew she wasn't. She was married for goodness sakes and yet she felt jealousy from watching Adam with another woman.

Eric was out in shore so this left the married "happy" couple alone. "Is there something I should know about you two?" He was pissed off. His wife kept staring at the other guy that he knew was her ex.

He was being kind by even letting Adam tag along. But as soon as he saw his wife staring at the shirtless hunk, he knew it was a mistake.

"No." Becky reached out to rub his arm but he pulled away. Another argument; great. They had one last night when she had brought up how bored she was since he was going to cancel their beach plans and this morning he had made her feel guilty for having to call in sick. "Whatever."

She felt like a teenage girl as she got up and walked away from him. At the same time, Adam was leaving the water alone. He saw her begin to walk along the shore and he decided to join her.

"Becks!" Adam called out as he joined her and was right beside her. "Hey what's wrong?" At an instant he knew something was on her mind just by how her eyes seemed distant.

"Nothing. How are you and Isis hitting it off?" Adam glanced back to the girl. She was hot, tan, and fun to be around but she gave off the vibe of a sex-based relationship.

He looked at Becky once more and smiled, shaking his head, "I appreciate trying to set me up but she's not my type. I like slightly older woman with blonde hair...blue eyes.." It came off as a joke but he was looking directly at her.

Yeap, in the matter of only two days of being with one another he had fallen hostage to Becky. He was falling hard for her by just looking at her.

She giggled and stopped walking to look towards him, "I just have to say that I'm happy you got to become the man you always wanted to be."

Adam grinned at the random thought. He had heard those words said to him several times but hearing her say it felt so satisfying. "Thanks."

"You look great." She looked him in the eye as she resisted the urge to look at his body again. When they went out to eat his clothes were loose but seeing him in only swim trunks, you could see his was toned. He was still rather hairless, only with a treasure trail running down his trunks, and he had faint scars beneath his nipples. Along with that there seemed to be a tattoo of some sort on his bicep, but she couldn't see it well.

"So do you." He added in all honesty. She was always so hot and wondered in high school how he had gotten so lucky to have someone with such a beautiful personality with a beautiful outside as well.

She wore a bikini and even after seeing her wear one several times when they went to the pool, he never got tired of it. His thoughts went somewhere dirty and he quickly looked back to where Derek was; immediately he moved back to have space.

She's married. She's married. She's married. It had been a bad idea to tag along but he couldn't resist being around her.

He felt awkward and ran his fingers through his hair, "Is he okay with this?" His eyes went back to Derek who was staring them down. "I'm your ex and he's your husband, isn't it just weird?"

"He's not totally fond of this." She followed his gaze by turning her head and waved smally to her husband, "But he trusts me and we're just being friendly. We haven't seen each other in so long."

Becky was speaking the truth, as she knew nothing would occur between her and her ex boyfriend. Sure, he was appealing and made her smile all the time and etc. but she was married for a year now to Derek; whom she loved.

Adam smiled small but felt a slight disappointment. He knew it was wrong on so many levels to remotely think Becky would try anything with him. She was still very religious and cheating would be a sin.

They felt slightly awkward so Adam decided to head back to the water. Nothing makes you forget and relax than the cool salty water.

::

"Adam, why do you keep calling?"

"Because I just thought we could remain friends..." Adam sounded sad as they spoke. It was half way through the year and Becky hadn't bothered to talk to him as she tried her best to move on from him.

There was someone she was interested in, but didn't know whether it was time yet.

"I love you, Adam, I still do-which is the problem. I need to fall out of love with you and that's only possible if we don't talk. So please, stop." She begged and hung up, giving him no chance to comment.

He threw his phone and knew breaking up with her was a big mistake.
