“Promise me something.”
“Anything.”
“Promise me that this isn’t all a dream and that when we get home things aren’t going to revert right back to how they were. Promise me that I’m going to be with you every day.”
His grip tightens on my hips, “Remy, what’s wrong? I’m happy to make that promise, but why are you questioning that?”
“I’m not – not really. I guess I’m just feeling a little emotional about leaving.”
“I get it. But I swear to you that these feelings, these moments, our words and promises, they aren’t just about being here in Hawaii, they’re bound to here,” he places his hand over my heart and then his own. “They aren’t going anywhere. And neither am I.”
I nod, then lean forward and put my lips on his. Coaxing his mouth open, I take advantage when he obeys and explore his mouth with my tongue loving when I emit a moan of pleasure from him. I pull away and with a smile we both pause a moment before making a frantic rush pawing at each other’s clothes.
“I can’t get enough of you,” he says.
“I hope you never do.”
This escalates quickly. He unzips his pants at the same time I lift up my skirt. In seconds we groan in complete ecstasy.
“We’re getting really good at this,” I manage to tease.
He grins wickedly, “I don’t know,” he says with a push of his hips that makes me bite my bottom lip. “I think we’re going to need a lot more practice.”
Our laughs fall away as we’re quickly lost in each other – words unnecessary.
I feel more whole than I’ve ever felt in my life yet with a few movements and manipulations, I fracture into pieces with him following.
After a few moments of gathering myself, I move and straighten my clothes. Oliver does the same then stands and holds his hand out helping me up. Wrapped up in each other we make our way back to our room. On the way, I silently tell Hawaii goodbye, and I also offer it my thanks.
Feeling happy and content, Oliver interrupts my thoughts when he chuckles softly.
“What’s so funny?”
“I was just thinking that those stars have some serious wish granting powers tonight. I wasn’t kidding when I said we would be back.”
“Wish granting powers? Wait… are you suggesting that you wished for-“
His only response is a mischievous grin and I laugh the rest of the way to our room.
“I’m sure you want nothing more than to go back to your place, but I actually have somewhere I’d like us to go first if that’s okay,” Oliver says. We’ve already landed, gotten our luggage, found his car in the crowded parking lot and have pulled out of the parking lot after paying for parking.
“You do?”
“Yeah, I found out about it before we left and made sure to get us back here in time, but only if you’re up for it.”
“Well, I am a bit exhausted from the long flight but I confess I’m intrigued.”
“Okay, I’m going to drive us straight there and I’ll explain when we arrive, okay?”
“Alright,” I agree, but give him a strange look. I’m not sure why secrecy is necessary, but whatever.
Making small conversation on the way to our secret destination, I can’t help but smile at the things that have changed from the time we left to our return. I wonder if Oliver’s thoughts are along the same lines. With my hand in his, he keeps bringing it to his mouth and placing kisses on the top. I can’t seem to wipe the smile from my face and the sigh of contentment in my heart.
We aren’t driving long before we pull up to our local convention center. It’s a tall and sprawling building where community events like concerts, rallies and expos are held. It’s the chosen venue for any number of events and it seems there’s always something happening. Today appears to be no exception.
“What’s going on here that we’re attending?”
Oliver smiles, but he appears stressed, tense. Knowing him so well, I can read the anxiety and worry around his eyes and mouth. “Well,” he gets distracted while parking the car and after we exit, he continues answering my question. “The day I made our flight reservations I happened to see in the paper that there would be an event here the day we returned. I thought it could be the perfect ending to our time together and even beneficial to attend.”
