Chapter One
The rising and falling of Axel’s chest gently stirred me from my slumber. His heart beat was slow and steady, and I knew without looking at him that he was still sleeping. I gently lifted my head to look down at his sleeping face. This man was gorgeous.
The sun had just begun to peek over the horizon, casting ribbons of oranges and red across the room. They illuminated his face and danced on his hair. His eyes fluttered momentarily before they finally opened. His smile was soft and warm as I bent down to kiss it. He ran his fingers through my hair as I broke the kiss.
We’d made love several times through the night, and we were exhausted. But I could still feel his want for my body as I felt him harden against me. I shook my head and chuckled; he mirrored my actions before he shrugged.
“I just can’t get enough of you,” he said softly kissing my lips.
“And I you, but I can’t go for another round; I’m sore,” I said poking my bottom lip out.
“Aw, aren’t you adorable,” he said softly pinching my bottom lip between his fingers.
“I don’t even feel like moving today. I want to just lay around all day with you,” I said as I lay my head back on his chest.
“How about this; I order us some breakfast, and we can find a movie on pay per view. We can decide what to do from there.”
“That sounds perfect. I actually am hungry,” I said just as my stomach growled in protest.
“Good, go freshen up while I order for us,” he said patting my bottom.
Rolling off of him before he stood up, I watched his muscles ripple beneath his skin as stretched them. Yawning, he turned around to wink at me before he made his way towards the bathroom. I did a stretch of my own before joining him in the bathroom to freshen up.
Turning on the faucet, I stuck my hands beneath the rush of the warm water. Axel kissed my neck before rubbing his palm gently against my back.
“How about that breakfast?” I asked as his hands began to reach the swell of my bottom.
“Right; I almost forgot,” he said with a chuckle before backing out of the doorway of the bathroom.
“Order me some bacon!” I called after him.
I didn’t catch his response before I hopped in the shower. As I stood under the heavy spray of the warm water, I thought about the future. What was it to hold? Sure we were great here on the island, but how were we supposed to get along outside of paradise? Were we considered a couple?
As I began to lather the soap, I thought about how my family would feel with my relationship status. Would they be ok with Axel being white? Besides the fact of race, would they be ok with the fact that I was no longer with Ethan? They’d grown pretty attached to him; we were together for a long time before we split.
Then it hit me. I hadn’t told my parents about Ethan and I. I’m pretty sure that they knew, but the fact that they didn’t hear it from me bothered me. Had I been so lost in the sauce that I’d completely forgotten to tell my parents? And then I thought to myself, who told them? Ethan? Josie?
I quickly shut the water off and grabbed a towel as I stepped out of the shower. Wrapping the towel around me as quickly as I could, I made my way hastily towards the door. As I rounded the corner of the room, I nearly ran into the still naked Axel. He caught me in a hug, which forced the worries out of my mind and a smile across my lips.
“Where’s the fire?”
“Oh,” I suddenly remembered, “I didn’t tell anybody.”
“Tell anybody what?” he asked confused.
“I left in a flurry of tears and stupidity! I didn’t tell my parents, anything,” I said ashamedly.
“Why don’t you just call them now?”
“That would be super expensive.”
“Honey, you’re still technically in the US. You should be ok to call. I’m surprised you didn’t get any while you were here.”
“It’s because I put my phone on airplane mode. I feel stupid,” I said slumping my shoulders.
“Don’t; it’s a common misconception,” he comforted before rubbing my arms and kissing my forehead. “I’ll be back in a moment,” Axel said as he walked away and towards the bathroom.
Realizing that my phone was in my suite, as well as a new change of clothes, I decided that the best thing to do, was simply wait for Axel to get out of the shower. I would make him go and get some clothes for me. So in the meantime, I stretched out on the mattress and made myself comfortable.
“You can start picking a movie out while I shower!” I heard Axel call out.
“Ok!” I answered back.
Grabbing the remote control, I started flipping throughout the channels. How did pay per view work anyhow? I’d never had the luxury of using it myself. I was totally content with basic cable. Finally finding the right station, I selected a light comedy before settling back onto the bed. The pillows comforted me as I took a deep breath.
Axel came out of the bathroom, donning only a towel, and carrying the fresh scent of his body wash behind him. He was just in time too; the room service just knocked at the door. Watching his sturdy form as he made it to the door, I heard a thick Spanish accent float past. It wasn’t familiar, but it sure was happy after he received his tip.
Upon return, Axel puckered his lips at me as he carried the platter of food like a waiter. The goofy side of his personality was in full effect as he presented the delicious food beneath the platter’s cover. His body looked absolutely delicious, but I couldn’t help but tear my sight away and to the food that was presented before me. God did it smell divine! Bacon and eggs Benedict! Fruit and grits! And fluffy pancakes that called my name as I took a deep breath.
I was in heaven, and Axel was an angel! Fork and knife in hand, I b
“Are you not entertained?” I asked with a wink in his direction.
“Oh, I’m entertained! Look at you, you’re amazing,” he said pointing at the food before I stuck the fork in my mouth.
“You like a girl who can put it away, huh?” I asked him after swallowing that last bite.
“Oh yes; that’s one of my favorite things about you.”
I smiled flirtatiously before looking away and for something to wash this last bite down with. But before I could ask, as I turned my head towards Axel, he held out a large cup of orange juice. I caught myself before I could say a playful “I love you”, you know the kind of I love you mention to random good Samaritans for holding the door open for you on a rainy day. But some guys took it too literally and I didn’t want to ruin this moment.
“You really know how to make a girl happy,” I said; like that was any better.
“That’s only the beginning,” he said gently pecking me on the lips.
“Here I was thinking that I’d just made the situation awkward; thanks for saving me,” I said sheepishly as I bit my lip.
“Anytime. Now let’s take a look at that movie you picked out.”
Chapter Two
It was early afternoon by the time Axel finally made his way over to my room. We’d made love that entire morning, after the food, but before we’d even reached the mid-point of the movie we’d rented. I was so turned on by him that I couldn’t keep my hands off of him. I knew the feeling was mutual, and that made it harder to resist one another.
When he came back, I noticed that he’d been gone for a little longer than I’d anticipated. But when he closed the door behind him, I looked down to notice that he had packed all of my bags. I smiled. He knew that after what we’d experienced last night that I wouldn’t want to return.
“I also packed your phone, here, it’s in this bag,” he said unzipping the luggage and handing me my phone. I instantly switched the phone off of airplane mode and waited as the signal bars reached three.
Now it was time to wait for the barrage of tests and calls that my family were bound to send me. At first, I thought that maybe they were just going to give me some space; I was being impatient waiting for the messages to work with my signal.
But when they came, it seemed like they never stopped. Text after text popped on my home screen. I had missed about twenty calls and had fourteen voicemails. Three of which from my mother. Josie and texted me about seven times, while both of my brothers called and texted a few times.
I instantly felt like dirt. What if no one had told them and they showed up to the wedding? I decided to throw on some clothes, and head out into the heat. As I rounded the corner, I spotted the place where Axel and I had met for the first time, and decided to go and hang out there.
My first call was to my mother. She didn’t pick up the first time, but before I could call my dad, her incoming call had stopped me. I took a deep breath; I was not prepared for the lashing.
“Mom?”
“Don’t you Mom me! Where the hell have you been?!” She yelled into the phone.
“Mom, I’m fine, I-“
“You had all of us worried sick, you’re lucky Ethan called to tell us that the wedding was off! I’ve been calling you for three days straight!” she said, I could hear the tears building up behind her eyes.
“Mom, let me explain,” I paused to see if she would interrupt but went on when she remained silent, “I went on our honeymoon without Ethan. I just needed to clear my mind, ok? My boss gave me more than enough time off.”
“Ok, and where’s the part about your fingers being broken?” my mom asked sarcastically.
“I should’ve called, but I wasn’t thinking about that at the moment. I mean, the man that I’d given two decades of my life to call off our wedding the day before! He cheated on me Mom!” I said choking back some of the old tears.
She grew deadly silent for a moment before she took a deep breath. When she did talk, it was too low for me to understand exactly what she was saying, but I knew that she was cursing. I heard a few loud bangs, possibly the pots in the kitchen before she excused herself before the Lord.
“Baby, had I known that I would’ve given that bastard a piece of my mind!” she nearly shouted.
“It’s ok Mom, just don’t talk to him at all.”
“Oh you don’t have to worry about me! It’s your brothers who are going to want a piece of him!” she said truthfully.
“Oh no! Mom, please don’t tell them! I know that Ethan is a low down dirty dog, but please; my brothers already have too much to live for.”
It had taken them a good part of their lives to get on track with going to school. My brother Lucas, Luke for short, decided to pursue a career in Pediatrics while my brother Samuel decided to go for his business degree. They were almost finished, Samuel more than Lucas, but they were really thriving in life. But I know that something like this could bring out their violent streak, and one more strike would send them back to prison.
“I won’t, I won’t! But come on now, I got to tell somebody!” my mom said. She was such a gossiping old lady.
“You can tell the ladies down at the shop. Luke and Sammy hate those ladies, so I won’t have to worry about them hearing anything from them.”
“No, you know how word gets around. I’ll keep it quiet for now. I’ll just wait for you to be ready,” mom said in a disappointed manner.
“I still have to tell Dad.”
“No you don’t! You’ve been on speaker this whole time!” I heard dad call out, most likely from the living room couch.
“Hi, Dad! I’m sorry I didn’t call you…I’m just trying to clear my head.”
“I understand, just don’t wait so long next time. Your mother and I are on the way to the airport you flew from. We don’t need to know everything, but it would’ve been nice to know what was going on with my little girl,” he said.
“You’re right. I’m so sorry,” I said trying not to cry.
“Enjoy your vacation, ok? And come see me when you get back,” he said choking back a cough.
“Don’t worry about that cough, your father is trying to get over that cold he had about a week ago.”
“Oh, make sure you get vitamin C dad! I’m going to call Josie and my brothers just to let them know I’m alright. I love you both!”
“We love you too!”
After hanging up the phone with Mom and Dad, I dialed Josie. I wanted to save my brothers for last. I knew they would try anything to get me to tell them anything they possibly could. Josie always knew how to screw my head back on tight so that I wouldn’t lose my mind and spill the beans.
“I knew you’d call me when you were ready to talk.”
“Josie! Those words made my day,” I said feeling a huge relief.
“I mean now, it would’ve been a different story if you hadn’t told me anything, but I understand.”
“Thank you so much. My mom was so upset at first, but then she calmed down when I explained it to her.”
“You better be glad she didn’t come through the phone!” Josie said causing me to laugh.
“You know you’re right!”
“So, where are you?” she asked.
“I’m on my honeymoon,” I said full of sarcasm.
“Ha! At the fancy resort in Puerto Rico?”
“The one and only!”
“Oh, I am so excited for you! You deserve it. Did you have to fight for that room?” she asked concerned.
“Not at all, I didn’t even get a phone call after we last saw each other that night.”
“You know I’ve seen him around,” she said waiting for me to jump on her bait.
I did. “Where?” I asked furrowing my eyebrows as I saw a shadow out of the corner of my eye.
“At my house, girl.”
“Are you serious? With Michael? Does he know?” I started feeling betrayed as the shadow became a figure that drew closer.
“Mmhmm. Turns out my baby didn’t even know. Ethan had the nerve to tell him that you were the cheater!”
