Mackenzie was in a kitchen packing a lunch.

"Riley come on, you're gonna be late." Mackenzie said

A six year old girl came into the kitchen. "I don't want to go to school mommy I want to go skating."

"We'll go skating after school." Sam said coming into the kitchen. "Daddy promises."

"Ok." Riley said.

Sam knelt down. "Give me a hug."

She gave him a hug and kiss on the cheek "I love you daddy."

"I love you too."

"Give mommy a kiss." Mackenzie said bending down. Riley kissed her on the cheek. "I love you." "Be a good girl."

"I will mommy."

Mackenzie sat up in bed and looked at Alex who was sleeping next to her. She started to cry a little.

"That's not my life." She thought. "It never was." "I love Alex." "Sam is my past." "I don't love Sam." "I love Alex." "My future is with Alex."

"Baby hey, what's wrong?" Alex said noticing she was crying. He sat up.

"Nothing." "I had a bad dream." She said wiping her eyes. "It felt so real."

He hugged her. "It's ok, it's over." "You're alright."

The wedding was in three days. Mackenzie tried to focus on that but no matter how hard she did, she couldn't stop thinking about Sam. She limited her contact with him as much as she could. She decided not to confront Alex about the pictures. Mackenzie was in the hotel room bathroom getting ready for the day.

"Alex come here." He appeared in the doorway. "What do you think of this skirt?" "I bought it the other day." The skirt was leather, full-length with a slit up the left side.

"You look sexy in it."

"Thanks."

After the show that night Mackenzie and Alex were on the bus. Sam was on it to but Mackenzie's plan was to stay close to Alex. It was around eleven o' clock. Alex was drinking with some other people on the bus. Mackenzie decided not to drink. It was very loud on the bus with everyone talking. Sam was back in his bunk.

Mackenzie got up and went to the bathroom. When she was done and opened the door to leave Sam was there. He stepped forward making her step back until they were both in the bathroom. He shut the door and locked it.

"We need to talk." Sam said.

"Sam, please don't do this to me." "I know you don't want me to marry Alex, but I love him." "We both did something we shouldn't have but we can move on."

"What are you talking about?"

"Someone from a blocked number sent me pictures of Alex with some redhead the weekend of his bachelor party."

"What?" He said shocked. "You know he cheated on you and you're still marrying him?"

"Meanwhile I had sex with you that weekend, multiple times, so yes I am." "I can't be mad at him when I did the same thing."

"With us it's different."

"How?"

"We're in love."

"No, you love me." "I love Alex." "I don't… "I don't love you."

"I don't believe you." He cupped his hands around her face. "Yes you do."

"Sam don't."

"I love you, and you love me." They kissed. He put his hand underneath the slit in her skirt, grabbed her bare leg and lifted her off the ground. She moaned against his lips as he did. He sat her on the sink. As they kissed he unbuttoned the first three buttons of her shirt. He broke from her lips, to her neck, moving down towards her cleavage. "Sam we can't Alex- "I don't care." Sam said interrupting her continuing towards her cleavage. "Ohhhh." She moaned quietly once he got there. Without stopping he took a condom out of his pocket and put it on the counter. She felt his hand go under her skirt and take off her panties. Then it returned and moved slowly up her leg. He came back up to her mouth as kissed her, just as he she felt his hand slip inside and move. "Oh Sam." She moaned. "Want me to stop?" He asked going faster. "Mm-mm-mmmmmm." She moaned. "Ohhhh, Sam, make love to me." She said in a moaning voice. He took his hand out, took pulled down his jeans and boxers and scooted her to the edge of the counter. "Ohhhh." They both moaned as he slipped inside her. Starting slowly but gradually going faster. They were both remaining as quiet as they could. Both were close and struggling to stay quiet. Mackenzie was gripping the sides of the counter to the point of her knuckles turning white. "Mmmmmm." They kissed. "Ohhhh." They both moaned as quietly as they could giving in.

After a few minutes they were both dressing. She buttoned up her shirt and got off the counter. She went to leave.

"Wait." Sam said. "Please don't do it." "Please." "I love you." "We belong together, you know it." She left.
