A fourth update today? Something must not be right, because OneChicagobyA never gives us this many updates; at the most, there's only three updates per day. Well, not today readers…today, there's four updates; and I hope that you guys are ready for today's fourth update. By the way, what did you guys think of the last update? The update that gave you some insight on Antonio's background (per my story). I hope that you guys like it. If you do and have some questions that you want me to answer about it; send them my way, because it may lead me to having an idea for another chapter similar to tit. However, that won't be tonight as this is my last update for today. Thanks again for reading, and I can't wait to write Chapter Twenty-Five for you tomorrow; Part Two of Day Two of Matt & Gabby's Romantic Getaway.
Chapter Twenty-Four
Romantic Getaway: Day Two, Part One
Master Suite, Casey Yacht (9:30 AM)
She's been lying here in comfortable silence for the past two-and-a-half hours this morning, two-and-a-half hours of pure hell with sun glaring in her eyes; all because she doesn't want to wake up her loving husband whom she thought was still fast asleep, which was exactly why Gabby Casey has been stuck on his chest (voluntarily). She didn't want to get up, and risk waking him up; only to have him complain all day that he was tired, especially since he had PTSD the night before. He woke up screaming last night, scared that he was reliving one of the worst days of his life; the day that he said goodbye to his wife. And while she was able to calm him down, he didn't calm down enough after they eventually (tried) to fall back asleep around four this morning; nor was he able to fall asleep after Gabby climbed in and out of bed to go to the washroom this morning at seven. So, while Gabby has been awake since seven-thirty this morning, Matt has been awake much longer; he's been awake since four-thirty this morning, and it was just so hard to stay quiet.
But now, it was finally late enough in the day that Matt felt like he wouldn't get in trouble if he woke her up; that he could actually move some, because the truth was that he needed to move to the center of the bed. As much as he loves the feeling of his beautiful wife on his chest, it did cause him to create quite a dent in his mattress; and that meant that the back support went every once and a while, right now being one of those times. So, with the hopes of moving with her on his chest; Matt moved his arm around Gabby's lover back before slipping over in bed and then proceeded to try and move to a place that was more comfortable for him, only to be stopped by Gabby (whom you know is awake). "Hey, what are you doing baby?" Looking down at his wife after hearing her voice, Matt got a bit worried. "Hey, sorry if I woke you up." Gabby laughed as she heard Matt say that, before rolling over onto her side so that Matt had the ability to move to somewhere that was much more comfortable; that is, without her hindering his ability to do so.
"You didn't." Matt was confused as he heard Gabby say that, just looking at his wife. "I didn't?" Gabby shook her head, before smiling at him. "Mind if I come lay back down on your chest? I was comfortable." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, before smiling at her. "I would love that, but I want something first." Gabby smirked as she heard Matt tell her that, as she wanted it too; she wanted to share a sweet kiss with her incredible husband this morning, and just take things slow with him (like they'll probably be doing for most of the day today anyways). Climbing on top of her husband, Gabby smiled as she went ahead and hovered on top of him before laying down on his chest; at the same time, Matt smiled as he wrapped his arms around his beautiful wife. Putting his hands on her beck, Matt smirked as he leaned up and then kissed the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world. Smiling as she felt Matt do that for her this morning, Gabby smiled as it was exactly what she wanted the man of her dreams to do today; kiss her slowly.
Just taking things slow with Gabby, Matt smiled as he ran his hands down her back while taking things nice and slow with the woman of his dreams; the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world, and the mother of his children. Just taking things slow with her, Matt smiled when he felt Gabby move her hands to his chest. At the same time, Matt wrapped his arms and legs around her as a way to hold the woman he loves close to him. The woman he wants to have in his life for the rest of it. After all, this is his dream life; and there's nothing better than the feeling of her on his chest. And there's also nothing like finally being able to talk and move, for the first time in five-and-a-half hours. Laying her head down on Matt's heart, Gabby smiled as she rubbed his chest before feeling Matt run his hand up and down her back. He then turned his head and whispered in her ear. "Can I…" Running her hand down Matt's chest, Gabby nodded. "Baby, the answer is always yes." Matt nodded, smiling as he kissed the woman he loves this morning.
He then went ahead and did just what she wanted him to do, he took off her bra and threw it away so that she was on top of him without a bra. And let's just say that it was something that the husband loves a lot, especially because of the feeling that comes with his wife not wearing a bra; the feeling of her breasts against his chest. Running his hand around her body, Matt smiled due to the fact that he truly was madly in love with the woman he currently had on his chest; and that was never going to change, as he plans to be Gabby's husband for the rest of their lives. Kissing her shoulder as he ran his hand up and down her back, Matt smiled as he whispered to her. "Is there a reason why I didn't wake you up this morning baby?" Gabby took a breath when she heard Matt say that. "I had to go to the washroom at seven, and then I got back in bed with you; and I just…I couldn't fall back asleep." Matt sighed as he heard Gabby say that while running his fingers up and down her back. "I wish you would've said something, because I was up already."
Gabby was surprised when she heard Matt say that. "Wait, but I thought that I didn't wake you up this morning." Matt sighed.
Matt's POV:
When Gabby asked me what I meant (indirectly), I took a breath as I knew that I had to tell her. I was really hoping that this vacation would be one where we didn't have to deal with my PTSD, but it seems like I'm wrong; because (as you know) I had some last night, and that's why I really need a day in bed. Taking a breath, I went to kiss Gabby's forehead; and she just knew, she could tell by my body language and my reluctance to tell her that I had PTSD. She can read me so well, that she just hates it. "Oh baby, did you have PTSD last night?" I sighed, agreeing with Gabby as she asked me whether I had PTSD last night. "I know, I should've told you…" Gabby then moved to rub my chest. "Baby, especially then. You know what I said. I don't care if I'm tired from the day before, or if I have a huge business call the next day. Baby, I'm your wife; and my main priority is helping you deal with your PTSD, as well as taking care of the boys with you. Those are my two main priorities in life, and that's why we need to talk to each other baby." I took a breath.
"Yeah, I know. I just…" Gabby shook her head when I said that, before rolling over onto her side; which then led me to roll over onto my side so that we were still holding each other, which is something that I most definitely want to do today. Looking at my beautiful wife, I smiled as I put my hand out as my way of telling her that I want her close; and thankfully, Gabby got the message as she soon moved close to me and wrapped her arms around my neck. Slipping her legs in between mine, Gabby smiled as she held me close. At the same time, I went to grab the covers and adjusted them while wrapping my arm around her back as we both held each other close. Stroking Gabby's back, I smiled as I looked at the woman I love more than anything. "Listen, I want to talk to you about this okay; I want to talk to you about how we're going to deal with this." I sighed. "This being my PTSD?" Gabby agreed with me when I said that. "Matt listen. I know that this is supposed to be a time where we can get away, and just be romantic with each other."
I agreed with Gabby when she said that, smiling at her when I felt Gabby put her hand on my chest and lay her head down on my arm. "But baby…" Gabby said as she leaned in and kissed me softly. "We need to do other things okay? Right now, the boys are being taken care of by our family, and that means that we can concentrate on each other; we can concentrate on things that we need to talk about, and figure out as husband and wife." I was a bit confused when Gabby said that. "What do you mean, sorry…I'm just lost." Gabby agreed with me when I said that. "I get that. I know, I am being really vague. But…I know that we did talk about your PTSD during my pregnancy, and I know that you've been as open as you can with me; with you are, and I'm glad that's the case." I took a breath when Gabby said that, because I was a bit ashamed of that. "Gabby, I'm sorry about that. I know I promised…" Shaking her head, Gabby put her hand on my neck and leaned in to kiss me softly. "Hey, take a breath and just listen to me baby. I'm not mad."
I was a bit shocked when Gabby said that. "You aren't?" Gabby shook her head. "No, because I understand why you did it; you did it because you had a lot going on, and you also wanted to make sure that I don't put too much stress on me. Especially not while I was pregnant with the twins. For that, I will forever be grateful; because it was the right thing to do, as it was your way to make sure that I didn't get too stressed and miscarry. I love Matteo and Noah, and I am telling you that you did the right thing; but that stops now that I'm no longer pregnant. Now, I'm here as your wife, and we're alone; that means that we can talk all we want, and we can really put a plan together. A plan of how I can help you, while also make sure that we can also fulfill our other obligations; the obligations that we have to our sons, and also to our employees. And yes, I am calling them our employees; because I am the co-owner of the company by being your wife." I smiled when Gabby said that, before wrapping my arm around her while kissing her softly.
Just taking things nice and slow with the woman I love, I smirked due to the fact that this is everything I want to do right now; I want to just take it easy with the woman I love right now. Smiling at my girl, I just listened to her. "Okay, enough with the kiss. I know that it's early. But today, I want to talk about that; and I want you to promise me that we're going to talk about it." I agreed with Gabby when she asked me if we can talk about my PTSD, and just come up with a plan. "I think that we can do that, and in fact; I want to actually mention something. I know it's out of the blue, but I just want to think about this." Gabby agreed. "I think that, we need to really get everything in order before we try for another baby. Before we try for another baby, I want to have everything in order. I want to have my PTSD in control, I want the company to be a bit more independent so that we can take time away with me being able to not worry about it like I am now…" Gabby agreed with me. "…and I want to have the boys in daycare first. Not at home, at daycare."
Gabby smiled when I said that. "I think that's a great plan, and I definitely think that would make me feel much better to go ahead with having another baby. I want that too, and I want you to have your PTSD in control; and I want the company to be more independent, so that I can have my husband on leave. And even better, you can be with the boys more. That's something you need to do, you need to be with the boys while I'm pregnant; because that's something that I want, I want you to be with the boys as much as you can." I agreed with Gabby when she said that. "Hey, don't you dare think that I'm going to concentrate on the business more than you and the boys. You guys are my world, and that will always be the case; I hope that you know that." Gabby agreed with me as I said that, smiling as she went ahead and grabbed my hand. She then leaned in and proceeded to kiss me softly. Taking things slow with my girl, I smiled due to the fact that this is everything that I want right now; to just hold my wife close to me as we just take it easy together.
"Want to tell me about your PTSD?" I sighed when Gabby asked me that. "It was me saying goodbye to you but…" Gabby just looked at me. "Uhm, but it turned out badly instead." Putting her hand on my face, Gabby slipped close to me before kissing me softly. Taking things slow with each other, Gabby smiled due to the fact that she was happy to be holding me. "Hey, I'm here baby." I agreed.
Gabby's POV:
When I heard Matt say that his PTSD last night was when he said goodbye to me, but it turned out badly instead; I just took a breath due to the fact that I knew that was hard for him, especially since I know that he's going to analyze this. "And let me guess, you're analyzing and digging into this more?" Matt nodded as I asked him that, as that was exactly what he was doing right now; and that's while I decided to cuddle up to him even more, while slipping my legs in between his as we cuddled up to each other. Moving his to my (braless) back, Matt then ran his hand up and down my back; god, the feeling of his wedding band on my back is incredible. God, I am so glad that he always wears his wedding band (he has to). "Matt, look at me." Turning his head, Matt smiled as he looked down at me. "Baby, I love you; and I promise that we're in this together, because we'll always be in this together." Matt agreed with me when I said that, before bending down and kissing me softly. Taking things slow with Matt, I smiled as I am really happy with my husband.
"Matt, I love you so much; and I'm glad that we're doing this, because I know that we're going to be able to talk through all of this much better. It's definitely something that we need to talk about. I promise babe, we're going to get through this." Matt smiled when I said that, before grabbing my hand; he then intertwined our fingers, smiling at me. "You happy that we're alone with each other?" Matt nodded, smiling at me as I asked him whether he was happy that we're alone with each other; after all, that was exactly what I wanted right now. And I'm sure that he feels the same way too. "I'm always going to be happy when we're alone, because we need to take this sometimes." I smiled when I heard Matt say that, before leaning in and kissing him softly. "Listen, I know that we want to talk; but I think we need to do something else right now." Matt smirked when I said that, before going to wrap his arm around me and held me against his chest. "Oh, and what's that?" Slipping my legs in between his, I smiled as Matt moved his hand to the top of my chest.
Stroking my back once I was against his chest, Matt smirked at me; and I could tell that he wants me, but that's not what I want right now. "I want to have breakfast." Matt then groaned as he looked down before kissing my shoulder softly. "Oh, I think that you should've expected that baby. I mean, we need to eat at some point; plus, it's not like you can have sex to me before we eat, I need some more energy." Matt agreed with me when I said that, smiling as he proceeded to kiss my forehead softly. "And today, we stay in bed." I nodded, agreeing with Matt when he said that, smiling as I went ahead and just moved to slip over in bed so that Matt can roll over and order of his breakfast; meanwhile, I went to roll over too. "I'm going to the washroom okay? And I'm going to put a shirt on." Matt looked at me when I said that. "Want me to put one on too?" I agreed with Matt when he asked me that, smiling at him. Rolling over so that he was facing me, Matt smirked. After which, I put my hand on his neck and bent down to kiss him softly.
"Matt, I promise that we're going to get you help with your PTSD." Matt smiled when I said that, moving his hand to my neck so that he can kiss me softly. Taking things slow with him, I smiled as I pulled away while also looking into his eyes; at the same time, I looked at his face while checking him out. More specifically, the beard that he's growing. Running my hand around his face, I looked at him.. "After ordering, grab a shirt and come shave. I'm going to the washroom, then I'm going to get back in bed; no funny business in the washroom Mr. Casey." Matt smirked, agreeing with me when I said that, smiling.
Having just finished ordering breakfast for the both of them this morning, Matt smiled as he finished grabbing a shirt (like Gabby told him to do) before walking into the washroom while tugging his shirt down. Watching as Gabby put her hair up, he smiled. "Here, want some help?" Looking at her husband, Gabby smiled as that was definitely something that she wanted help with. Making his way over to his wife, Matt smiled as he proceeded to grab it so that he can help her with her hair. Grabbing her hair, Matt smiled as he put her hairband on his wrist. He then tugged on her hair before putting his hand on her hip, and bending down to kiss her neck softly. Laughing as Matt did that, Gabby smiled as she reached back and went ahead to stroke his cheek. "I love you." Matt nodded as Gabby said that. "I love you too, and I made sure to order us some Belgian Waffles." Gabby smiled as she heard Matt say that. "How did you know that's what I wanted?" Matt smirked. "I heard you thinking about what you wanted for breakfast today while you were awake."
Gabby thought about it, and just agreed with Matt when he said that. Looking at her hair in the mirror, Gabby smiled as she went ahead and checked it out. After which, she turned around to look at Matt as he stood there in his shirt. Moving her hand to his face, Gabby went to trace it to show him where he needs to shave. "Make sure that you get down here okay?" Gabby said, pointing to the spot in between his neck and chest that he always has a bit of trouble with. "You know that I always like to keep my hand there, and that hair always seems to get caught in my ring; and I really hate to tug on it." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, smiling as he put his hand on her cheek. After which, he stepped close to her and smiled as he leaned in and kissed the woman he loves softly. "I love you." Gabby agreed with Matt when he said that. "I love you too. See you in bed. How long til' breakfast?" Matt smiled. "They said no more than thirty." Gabby agreed with Matt, smiling as she grabbed his hand. "PTSD Conversation today. Promise?"
Matt agreed with his wife, smiling as she asked him if they can talk about his PTSD, which they most certainly can, and will. "I promise Gabby, that's what we're going to talk about." Gabby agreed with Matt when he said that, smiling as she proceeded to walk away so that she can climb back into bed while she waits for Matt to finish shaving; as well as waiting for their food to arrive here this morning. At the same time, Matt turned to look in the mirror before sighing as today is going to be a long day.
