Not a bad thing

Izzie’s POV
Everything turned out fine. I didn’t know if it would, but it did. I was happy that Brian knew about Matt and me. After the first anger he seemed to accept the fact that we were together. I wouldn’t have accepted any other answer, so this was definitely for the best. I was looking around my kitchen to see what I had to make a barbeque with. I could make some salads and I had meat in the freezer, which I tried to defrost quickly. This could definitely work out. I was really enjoying myself this far, it was really nice to have this group of friends to hang out with.

As I gathered all the food on the counter, I heard a knock on the front door. Who could that be? Almost everyone I knew was at the beach, they would come in through the back. I wiped my hands and walked for the door. The minute I opened it, I regretted my decision. There he was. The one I had left in Italy. Chris. “Hi Izzie” he said, walking in immediately, trying to kiss my cheek. I held back my face, not letting him. I gaped at him with my mouth open, what the fuck? He walked pass me and left me standing there, amazed.

Chris walked around in my living room, looking at my things, studying the photo’s I had hanging on my wall. He looked relaxed, and he was behaving like he belonged here. Which he didn’t! “What are you doing here, Chris?” He turned around and smiled at me sweetly. “Hey sweetheart, what kind of welcome is that? I’ve been looking for you for all this time, and now I finally found you. Don’t you want to give me a better welcome?” He opened his arms as if he expected I would run into them like nothing happened. “Are you drunk or high on something? I didn’t get away from you without a reason. I don’t ever wanted to see you again, so this is definitely one time to many” Chris looked at me as if I was out of my mind and calmly spoke to me again “Tsk, tsk, Izzie, that is a big statement isn’t it? I’m sure we have a lot to catch up on. What if you make us some coffee and then we will talk” He sat down at my couch, seemly not impressed by everything that had happened between us. I didn’t understand what he was doing here, but I sure wasn’t getting any answers from him.

He stayed so calm, I couldn’t understand what was happening. I lost my temper, looking at him, sitting there as if this was his house. Completely frustrated with his attitude, I started yelling at him “WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE? HOW THE FUCK DID YOU FIND ME? IT HAS BEEN YEARS, WHAT MADE YOU THINK I WANTED TO SEE YOU!?” He replied to me “I want to make things right, you are the only one that made me truly happy and I came to get you back. All the other women are in the past.” I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I replied, screaming “SEE IF I CARE! GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!”

“Izzie, is everything okay?” Brian walked in the house. Chris was with his back facing Brian and I really just wanted Brian to turn around, before he could see who it was. I didn’t want them to get into a fight, I just wanted Chris to leave. Oh my god, what if Matt came in?! I looked at Brian, pleading with my voice “Brian, go back to the others, I can handle this,.... please”. I really hoped he would just listen to me, but it was already too late. As in slowmotion, I saw Chris turn around with a smug look on his face “Hello Brian, you are still around, picking up my leftovers, I see”. Brian’s look went from questioning and not understanding to angry in one split second. He walked over to me and stood beside me “Hello Chris, still being a huge asshole I see?”

Brian put his arm around me in order to protect me, but I really couldn’t stand being hold down. I was so damn reared. I was like one of those traction cars, ready to go. I moved away from Brian and walked towards Chris, who had now stood up from the couch. “What are you doing here Chris? I want an answer, now, and then you can leave” Chris looked at me with a smile. “I want you back, you are the one that made me happiest and I’m ready to settle down, I want to do that with you.” I looked at him, not able to really comprehend what he was saying. Had he gone out of his mind or something? “You know what Chris? That’s all great, but you need to find someone else. I don’t want to be with you anymore. I moved on.... And now I want you to leave my house and never ever come back again. Don’t you try to contact me anymore. This is over. This was over when you decided to fuck someone else on our wedding day.” I walked to the front door and opened it. I stood there, door in hand, waiting for Chris to leave. As he walked pass me he said “I’m at the Waterfront Beach Resort for the next 2 days. Find me if you change your mind” He then bent over to kiss my cheek “I wouldn’t do that if I were you” Brian threatened. Chris shrugged as he walked out and I closed the door.

I was shaking heavily. The moment I looked at Brian I knew I was lost. I felt the tears well up in my eyes and all the emotions from the past years came out. I felt Brian’s arms around me, comforting me. I started to cry, all the tension, hurt and grief came out. Brian stroked my back, whispering softly to my ear “Just let go sweetie, I’m here”.

Matt’s POV
I looked at the house, Brian had gone over there over 10 minutes ago and I wasn’t sure, if we had him on board. For all I know he was trying to talk our whole relationship out of Izzie’s head... I saw a man coming out of Izzie’s house. I couldn’t make out his features, it was too far away for that, but I saw him walking for that flashy car, and speed away, the minute he got in. What the hell was that about!? I had a bad feeling about this. I got up and decided to find out what was going on.

As soon as I approached the house, I could hear Izzie cry and Brian mumble something to her, that I couldn’t make out. I stormed in, to find Brian on the couch, with Izzie’s head on his lap. She was crying and Brian tried to comfort her. I looked at him with a puzzled face. He only mouthed “Chris” to me. What the fuck?! That was Chris? I wanted to go after him so fucking bad, but Brian motioned me to take over his place and take care of Izzie. As soon as I pulled her on to my lap her sobbing got worse and she buried her face to my shoulder, not able to talk. “She needs you now, Matt, take care of her.” He whispered to me. “I will move the barbeque to my house”, he said louder. “Don’t you worry. If you feel like coming over later, please be welcome, if not, I will talk to you later” He kissed the top of Izzie’s head as we exchanged an understanding look. I could tell we both agreed that this whole Chris thing was far from over, but we couldn’t talk about it now, not when Izzie was around.

Brian walked out and minutes later I saw everyone pass by Izzie’s house, leaving all the stuff on her porch. Lynn tried to come in, but Brian put his arm around her and took her with him. Maybe it was for the best, Izzie should calm down first. I wanted to make her feel better, but I wasn’t sure how, so I just kept her close to me, softly stroking her back, whispering sweet words to her. After a while she finally calmed down and her sobbing faded away. “Sweetie, do you want to talk about it?” I felt her shake her head against my chest. “Okay, you don’t have to, if you don’t want to” I kissed the top of her head.

She shifted a little on my lap, putting her head on my collarbone and I felt her put her lips to my neck softly. She was tracing the tattoos on my chest and I couldn’t help but get a little aroused. This woman was so sexy, even when she was sad. But I would never take advantage of the vulnerable state she was in “Iz, you are hurt, let’s not do this now”. She looked at me, her eyes still watery, but begging “Please Matt, I just need to feel loved again”. She kissed me. I could feel all her needs in that one kiss. The need to be loved, the need to not feel the pain again, the need to be close to someone that loved her. How could I deny her this?

I picked her up from the couch and carried her to the bedroom. I kissed her, licking her lips, asking her for entrance. Our tongues were moving slowly pass each other. There was no rush in our kisses. I put hands on her little beach dress, pulling it over her head. I let my hands wonder her body, kissing every single piece of skin I could find on her. She removed her bikini top and pulled me to her again. I looked into her beautiful grey blue eyes “I love you Iz, I never want to hurt you the way you are hurt right now. I never ever want to see you like this anymore.” She grabbed my hair, pushing her lips on mine. Her kiss was hungry now, full of need. “Matt, I really need you, please” I removed myself from her a little and pulled my shorts down and removed her bikini bottoms too. I kissed her all over her body, ending up on her thighs. Slowly moving towards her heat. She was already so wet. “Matt, please” She whimpered. I moved up her body, looked her in the eye, while I slowly moved up, sliding my full length into her. I pushed forward, pulling her closer with every thrust I made. I felt her squirm beneath me, her walls started to clinch to my cock. I let go and unloaded in her. “Oh Matt, I love you too” she panted. I lay down beside her and kissed her. I could feel Izzie relax in my arms, giving in to the exhaustion from the past hours and I soon heard her breathe in a steady pace.

I carefully got out of bed, I tugged in the covers around Izzie and kissed the top of her head. I put on some clothes and walked into the kitchen, grabbing my phone and keys. I called Brian in the car.

“Where is that son of a bitch? I’m going over there right now!” I seethed.
“Matt, calm down, I will go with you. Pick me up first”

Within minutes I was in front of Brian’s house. Brian was already waiting for me and Lynn was getting ready to go out too. She stopped next to my car “I really want to go with you to kick that guys ass, but someone needs to be at Izzie’s, so I will go over there. Matt, could you please promise me one thing?” I nodded “What?” She put her hand on my arm that was on the ledge of the window “Please make sure he will never ever come back. That woman deserves to be happy for once.” She leaned into the car and kissed my cheek. “No problem at all, I’m determined to take care of both those things.” I confirmed.

All the signs were in our favour. The receptionist at the hotel was one of Brian’s former flings, she was more than happy to provide us with the room Chris was in. Adding to that, lucky for us, it was at the end of the hallway, no one would hear us. I knocked on the door and heard movement in the room “Hold on, I’m coming!” we heard Chris say, eagerly. He opened the door to us with a big smile, that immediately faded as soon as he saw that it was us “Oh, it’s you. So Haner, can’t you take care of yourself? You brought a bodyguard?” Chris smirked. I felt a smile creep over my face. Oh boy, was he wrong. “No” I said “It’s even better. He brought Izzie’s boyfriend” . Chris’ face clouded. I hope he was scared. Let him be scared, he had every reason to.
