A/N: As promised :) Hope you're still reading and enjoying!
August, Saturday 21st
It was early Saturday afternoon when Pete and Addison landed in Barbados to enjoy their honeymoon there. They walked along hand in hand as Addison glanced around. They made their way to a few cabs before they got into one that brought them to their hotel.
"Wow." Addison smiled. "It's huge."
"I wanted the best." Pete smiled softly.
"It definitely is." She leaned up and kissed him.
"I'm glad." He smiled and kissed her back. Addison grinned before they checked in and made their way to their room. Pete had booked them the honeymoon package including the honeymoon suit. Her eyes widened as she looked around. Pete closed the door behind them and put down their luggage before he followed her further inside.
"This must have cost a lot." She turned and faced him.
"No, don't worry about it." He shook his head slightly.
"Thank you." Addison smiled softly. "It means a lot."
"I'm happy you like it."
She grinned and tenderly kissed him. Pete wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her back softly. "I love you so much, Pete."
"And I love you even more."
She grinned and kissed him again.
"I can't believe I still manage to impress a Montgomery." Pete smiled against her lips.
"You did." She laughed.
"That does wonders to my ego." He smirked.
"I'm glad."
"You are?" He raised an eyebrow.
"Yes." She smiled at him. "Why wouldn't I?"
"I thought you didn't like my big ego." He smiled.
"Well, I don't." She shrugged and started to unpack.
"Okay…" He looked at her before he gave a sigh and walked to his suitcase. Addison watched him before she walked up behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist. Pete gave a small smile and placed a hand on top of hers as he was about to unpack his stuff.
"I love you." she whispered and kissed his shoulder.
"Yeah, I love you too."
"What's wrong?" She frowned.
"Nothing's wrong." He looked at her. "Why would there be anything wrong?"
"I don't know." She shrugged. "Let's go to the beach."
"Okay." He nodded.
"We can make love under the stars later." Addison smiled.
"We can." Pete smiled back before he kissed her. She tightened her arms around him as they kissed. "There're lots of places we can make love at." he whispered.
"Let's try all." she whispered back.
"Definitely." He smiled softly. Addison giggled softly and kissed him again. Pete smiled and turned in her arms.
"I love you so much."
"I love you too baby." he whispered against her lips. Addison grinned and kissed him tenderly. Pete kissed her back softly before they pulled away slowly and looked at each other. "Beach?" He smiled.
"Yep." She grinned.
"Let's go then."
Addison linked her fingers together with his before they left the hotel room. They made their way out of their hotel before they walked down to the beach.
"It's beautiful." She smiled up at her husband.
"It is." He agreed.
"Let's get ice cream." Addison tugged on his hand softly. Pete smiled softly and followed his wife to the ice cream parlour. "Which flavour do you want?" she asked as she looked at the different flavours.
"Strawberry and Vanilla."
"Okay." Addison smiled before she ordered them both some ice cream. Pete smiled and took his ice cream before he took hold of her hand again and they walked out. "How long have you had this planned?" she asked.
"It was kind of spontaneous to be honest."
"I like spontaneous." She smiled.
"I'm glad." He smiled softly. "I just realised we never really had a chance to get away together and we had no honeymoon."
"No, we didn't." Addison shook her head. "This is nice. We can just have time as us."
"I know." He smiled softly and leaned down to place a kiss on her lips. She gently kissed him back before they started walking again. "Let me taste your ice cream." Addison held her ice cream out for him to taste. "Tastes good." he mumbled and smiled. Addison smiled back before she swung their hands lightly as they walked. Pete smiled softly and watched her as she looked out over the ocean and the sunlight glistered in her eyes.
"You know," Addison started. "Seeing as we're married, we should probably talk about a few things."
"Okay..." He nodded. "Like what?"
"Like where we should live, when we should buy a house, if we're going to have a family pet, whose family to spend Christmas with, if we want children, things like that." She shrugged.
"Okay." Pete nodded again.
"We can't stay living in my apartment all the time. It'll get too small." Addison looked up at him.
"I think as long as we're in school it's fine. It's so close as well."
"I'll be in school three more years longer than you." She pointed out.
"I think as long as it's just us, the apartment is okay. If you want to buy a house, we can buy a house." He shrugged.
"I'd like us to buy a house at some point no matter what, but, do you want it to be just us?"
"At some point." Pete started. "I want it not to be just us."
"Okay." Addison smiled and nodded.
"What about you?"
"I'd like that too. Maybe once we're both settled into our careers? Or when it just happens."
"Yeah." Pete smiled softly.
"I love you." Addison leaned up and softly kissed him.
"And I love you." he whispered and kissed her back tenderly. She grinned into the kiss at his words. Pete smiled softly before they pulled away slowly. "So, what else you want to talk about?"
"Hmm, who we should spend Christmas with."
"We could have lunch with one set of parents, then spend the night with the other." He suggested.
"Or, we could spend Christmas day with one and Boxing day with the other? And change it each year?"
"Yeah." He nodded. "We could."
"How do you normally spend Christmas?"
"With my parents and my siblings."
"Okay." She nodded.
"Have we sorted everything out then?"
"I don't know. I normally spend Christmas day with my parents and Archer then Boxing Day we go to Nana's."
"Oh."
"We can figure it out later though."
"Yeah."
Addison smiled softly before she finished her ice cream.
"Anything else you want to talk about?"
"Hmm, don't think so, you?"
"Yes. Where do you want to have dinner tonight?"
"You chose." She smiled softly.
"Let's be spontaneous." He gave a small sigh. "I'm not for the long out planning."
"Sounds good to me. We'll just go wherever."
"I did look up some good places as well though. Just in case."
"We can always go to them as well." Addison smiled.
"Yep." He gave a smile before he kissed her cheek.
"Let's go swimming." she declared.
"Skinny dipping?" Pete smirked.
"In the afternoon?" She raised an eyebrow.
"Just kidding."
"Maybe later." Addison grinned and started walking along the beach again.
"Not maybe." Pete mumbled and followed her.
"Hmm, what?" she looked up at him.
"Nothing." He shook his head.
"Okay. Come on, let's take a tour or something."
"I thought you want to go swimming?" Pete looked at her.
"You wanted skinny dipping and I'm not doing that in the afternoon."
"Well then just put a bikini on?"
"Okay, we'll go swimming." She smiled softly.
Addison stood in their hotel room that night in Pete's favourite dress that he had made her pack. He was getting ready in the bathroom and looked at her through the mirror.
"I can only find one shoe." she whined.
"Maybe the other one's still in the suitcase."
"I emptied my suitcase." She made her way over to Pete's and unzipped it. Pete put some lotion on his face and watched her quietly. "Found it!" she declared after searching through his suitcase.
"In my suitcase?" He raised his eyebrows. "What was it doing in there?"
"I don't know." She shrugged and slipped her shoes on. "What's mine is yours." Pete smiled softly and closed the bathroom door behind him as he walked out. She walked over to the dresser before she sprayed perfume over herself. He walked to his nightstand and opened the drawer before he slipped something into the pocket of his trousers. "Okay, I'm all ready." Addison turned and faced him.
"Okay." Pete quickly turned and gave a smile. She smiled back and held her had out for him. He took her hand into his they left the hotel room together.
"So, where are we going?"
"Well, you know I said we'd be spontaneous. But we're not that spontaneous. Tonight, at least."
Addison laughed softly and let him lead her. Pete smiled softly and pulled her closer as they left the hotel. She leaned into his side as they walked along. Pete dropped a soft kiss on the side of her head and led her to the restaurant where they would have dinner.
"Fancy." She smiled as they were seated at their table.
"I thought something special for our first night here." He smiled softly.
"It's perfect." She smiled. "Thank you."
"No need to thank me." He smiled softly and reached for her hands. Addison linked their fingers together and gazed into his eyes. "Have I ever told you how beautiful you are?" Pete smiled sheepishly as he looked at his wife across the table.
"Yep." She grinned. "But you can tell me again."
Pete smiled at her and brushed his thumb over her knuckles. "You are the most gorgeous woman I've ever seen."
Addison giggled slightly and smiled at him. "And you're the most handsome guy ever."
"I still can't believe you're mine at times."
"Well believe it because I'll be yours forever."
"You sure you won't get bored of me?"
"No, I'll never get bored of you."
"Good." Pete smiled. "Because I don't ever want to be without you again."
"You haven't been without me since we got married."
"Well." He shrugged. "It didn't always feel like it though."
"I'm all yours now." She smiled softly. "Forever." Pete smiled back before he leaned forward and placed a kiss on each of her hands. "I still can't believe that you chose me out of all the women you could have."
"I don't think you have any idea how wonderful you are."
"I'm not wonderful." She shook her head. "I've been a right bitch to you."
"Well." Pete shrugged and looked down at their fingers as he played with hers.
"I have been so I can't be all that wonderful."
"You are though." He looked back up at her. "Otherwise I wouldn't be sitting here."
"You could just be a fool in love." She smiled softly. "But I'm glad that you are sat here with me."
"You think I'm just a fool in love?"
"Well, I know that you're in love."
"I fell in love with you for the person you really are. The person you've let me see every once in a while."
Addison blushed slightly and looked down.
"You just put on this facade."
She looked down at their hands and ran her fingers over his knuckles. Pete just sat and watched her quietly. "I'm sorry." she whispered.
"I didn't mean to." He shook his head.
"Mean to what?" She looked up at him.
"To make you apologise or feel guilty."
"I should apologise though."
"I was an ass at times too."
"But not as much as I was a bitch."
"You have the rest of your life to make it up to me." Pete smiled.
"I do." Addison smiled softly.
"So, don't worry about it now."
"I love you so much, Pete."
"And I love you." He gave her hands a soft squeeze. She leaned across the table so he could kiss her softly. He closed his eyes and kept hold of her hands.
"I'm never going to let you go." she whispered.
"And I am never going to let you go."
Addison smiled as she looked at him lovingly. Pete smiled back and placed another soft kiss on her lips. She linked their fingers together again and gazed at him.
"I have something for you."
"You do?" She looked at him shocked. "I don't have anything for you."
"Don't worry about it." Pete smiled softly and placed a kiss on her hands before he let them go and reached into his pocket. Addison watched him, curious as to what he had bought her. He got out a box and handed it to her across the table. "Here." She carefully took the box and slowly opened it before she gasped. Her eyes widened slightly as she looked down at the silver bracelet in the box.
"Oh my god." she whispered. "It's beautiful."
"You like it?" Pete smiled softly.
"I love it."
"There's an engraving."
"There is?" she turned the bracelet over and began to read.
"February 17th 2009 until forever. I love you." It said on the back. Addison looked up at him and felt the tears pool in her eyes. Pete smiled softly as he looked back at her.
"Thank you." she whispered.
"Not too cheesy?" He smiled sheepishly.
"It's perfect."
"I'm glad."
"It matches the necklace you bought me." She smiled.
"I know." Pete smiled back.
"Can you put it one me?" She held the bracelet and her wrist out to him.
"Of course." He took hold of the bracelet before he put it around her wrist. Addison grinned and looked at the bracelet on her arm. Pete watched her and smiled, happy she liked it.
"Thank you." She leaned forward and kissed him again.
"No problem." He kissed her back softly.
"I love you so much."
"And I love you." Pete smiled. "And I love to spoil you."
"I've noticed." She smiled.
"Too much?" He looked at her.
"I don't want you to spend all of your money on me."
"I'm not poor, Addi."
"I know you're not, but I just don't want you spending everything on me."
"I won't, okay?"
"Okay." She nodded.
"I just love you so much." Pete smiled. "And spoiling you is so much fun." Addison smiled softly and took hold of his hand again. He looked down and linked their fingers together.
"What would I do without you?"
"I don't know."
Addison smiled before she took a sip of her wine. Pete kept hold of her hand and looked into her eyes. "Thank you for everything, Pete."
"I just like to see you happy."
"You make me happy."
"That makes me happy." He smiled softly.
"I'm glad."
"I love you."
"And I love you, so, so, so much. I never want to lose you." She gave his hand a soft squeeze. Pete smiled softly and placed another kiss on the back of her hand. Addison smiled back and linked their fingers together.
They enjoyed the rest of their dinner before they made their way back to their hotel room.
"Thank you for tonight." Addison smiled softly and kissed him.
"Hmm, you're welcome." Pete smiled and kissed her back. She grinned before she slipped her shoes off. Pete walked over to their balcony and opened it to let soma air in.
"Can you unzip me?" she asked.
"You know I'm good in undressing you." He smiled. Addison rolled her eyes but smiled as well as he unzipped her dress. Pete smiled and placed a kiss on her shoulder.
"So," She turned and faced him before she wrapped her arms around his waist. "Do you know what would really round the evening off perfectly?"
"Hmm, what?" He smiled.
"Making love." Addison smiled up at him.
"Hmm that really sounds perfect." Pete smiled back.
"I know." She leaned up and tenderly kissed him. Pete kissed her back softly and tightened his arms around her. They kissed tenderly before they made their way back to the bed where they made sweet love.
