Amy’s POV
I felt a lot better after the day I spent with Sara in the Spa and my heart was eased a little after my talk with Brian but also knew confusion had welled up inside of me.

I tried to find out what he was thinking, because I knew my heart, my stupid little heart, was getting too attached to him…
Too attached to let him go when we were back, without thinking back every once in a while…

Alright, every once in a while was a lie… as the situation was now it would probably be heart wrenching to just put my signature underneath the papers knowing we will just be a distant memory to each other from that point on.

God Amy, why are you so stupid!
I let myself be dragged into this vacation vibe, had everything going past me and just enjoyed, enjoyed too much to care that this will be all over soon.

So what was left now?!
Brian planned to spend the last days we had together, probably going back to vacation Amy and Brian, going back to how we were after we settled this was just for fun, but what if fun became reality?! And reality would suck balls?!
And the weirdest thing in all this was, that the vacation Amy, was the real Amy… I didn’t have to try and be someone else… I was just myself, and now I was pulling myself back knowing, this would be worth for nothing.

Couldn’t I have picked a man who was less complicated?
No, I had to marry a famous, handsome as syn (see what I did there) rockstar, who could have each and every women on this god damn planet only with a snap of his fingers, and now I had him - but with an expiration date.

So Amy, what do you do? Will you shut your brain down and enjoy the rockstar husband or will you try to push him away, yeah right as if that will work, and maintain a much needed distance?!

“Amy?” Said husbands voice sounded from the living room and I looked up from the mirror I had been staring at for quite a while.
“Yeah?” I yelled back and cringed, we wanted to have a dinner with everyone and I hadn’t even showered yet, how much time did we have left?

“Your phone is ringing… should I… you know… pick up?” Brian asked his voice closer to the door, the ringing now reaching my ears and my eyes widened.
“NO! I’ll take it” I rushed to the door and opened wide, taking the phone from Brian who was frowning at me and hurried to answer.

“Hello?” I said and heard the voice of my dad from the other end, oh shit!
“Amy?! What the hell were you thinking not to inform us that you went on a vacation! We had to call in to your work to get that information!” My father sounded angry and I had sighed, sure they took these two weeks to want to catch up with me and my life.

I turned and pinched the bridge of my nose, when I opened my eyes I saw Brian before me, a small smile playing on his lips as if he knew what was going on.
“I-I.. Dad, see… Sara and I, we hadn’t really planned on making this a long vacation, it was just a weekend trip… that we extended, cause we…” Think Amy, think!

“Won a trip!” I said because that was the only thought that came to my head.
My eyes met Brian’s and I saw him smile even more “And I am the main prize, huh” He said quietly and I rolled my eyes, sure he had to say something like that, nearly back to the old him.

“You won a trip?” My Dad asked, his voice now not as angry as before.
“Yes and actually I am off to one of the activities right now, Sara and I will also have dinner, so… I’ll call you when I am back in a few days, alright?” I quickly hurried to add and heard my father mumbling something, probably to my mom.

“Fine, but you better call us right after you arrive home! We don’t like not knowing what is happening around us, and something like just leaving for two weeks is huge, young lady.” My Dad said and I closed my eyes in frustration, if he thought that is huge, what would he say to the little detail of the marriage I haven’t told them yet?!

But hey, that would be quickly solved, right? That’s what Brian said, that’s what we both wanted, they didn’t even have to know…
“Okay, Dad… I’ll call you then, Bye” I hung up and set the phone to the side.

“You parents are worried?” Brian’s voice sounded beside me and I nodded without looking at him, we were still somewhere in between and I had no idea how to act with him.
“I didn’t tell him about the extended vacation… and they called my boss to find out… so probably yeah.. worried.” I said and suddenly felt myself being pulled into a strong chest, arms sneaking around me.

I stiffened but when his cologne hit my nose and his heat seeped into my body, I couldn’t really keep up these walls, I had to let loose, maybe just a moment, right?!

I melted into his embrace and heard a soft sigh escape Brian “That’s my Amy” He whispered and I frowned, how did he mean that? But I couldn’t pull away to look at him, not even for a thousand dollars, it just felt too good right now, and we hadn’t been this close since the last night, that night that seemed to have changed everything…

“We should get ready” Brian’s lips touched my ear and I nodded and pulled away, and that’s what I meant reality had us back.
We would be meeting his friends and I knew Brian would be more distant then, even if he didn’t want to, he would be… If he thought I wouldn’t notice that was his fault not mine…

“You are right” I turned away so he didn’t see my face and quickly went into the bathroom, this time I hurried through the shower and dressed quickly, Brian gave me an approving whistle when I got out of the bathroom which made me blush, even if I didn’t really want to.

He took his time as well, and before I knew it someone knocked on our door. Brian was still in the bathroom but the shower was turned off, so he would probably be ready soon.

I opened the door to find Zacky standing there, and he looked damn fine. A black dress shirt, black jeans and a bow tie, I had to smile because the tattoos mixed with the red bow tie looked like a wild combination, but it strangely soothed him.

“You guys ready? Or Gates still not ready doing his hair?” Zack let himself in and pushed past me.
I guess I had to get used to this open behavior… or rather not, because I reminded myself yet again, it would be over soon.

“He should be ready soon” I said and Zack sat down in one of the chairs “Why are you looking so stressed?” He frowned and I had a to stare at him for a moment, what did he mean?!

“You thought we didn’t notice, huh?” He chuckled lightly and patted the chair next to him.
“I haven’t known you long, but I get the feelings from you, that you are changing, why is that? Is it because of me… of us? Or is it because of him? Did he do something stupid? He is known for that you know?!” Zack pointed to the bathroom and I felt caught.

My cheeks heating up and I wondered how he could see through this so good when Brian seemed to be not getting any of it.
But I didn’t want to tell him that, I tried to distract the topic, I mean this evening wasn’t about Brian and me, this evening was for all of us and we wanted to have fun.

“Are we eating here in the hotel? Or going somewhere else?” I asked and Zack’s chuckle grew louder. “Nice try” He said between chuckles “You know, Amy… You and Sara do our little group good, if those stubborn men get it or not is written on a different page.” He said and leaned forward, closing the distance between us as if he wanted to tell me a secret.

“Can I tell you something?” He said quietly and I frowned “I guess so” I said leaning forward as well “Enjoy the time you have, don’t think too much… Maybe everything will turn out differently than you think” Zack said and on the last word the bathroom door opened revealing a mouthwatering looking Brian.

Great, with Zack’s last words and the look before my eyes, how am I supposed to know what to do anymore?!

Maybe Brian would make the decision easy and sit on the different end of the table again, so I wouldn’t be even driven to touch and kiss him, and do many other things that seemed to pop into my head even though I knew they shouldn’t, but could I really stay away?

Matt’s POV
Sara and I were ready way too early, and way before the time we would meet with the others, and when I gave her some nice ideas about what we could do to kill the time, but she just giggled and brushed them off.
Damn, we could use that time so so well… I had so many ideas and thoughts…

“Let’s go outside… walk on the beach before the others are ready” Sara said and pulled me along, without giving much choice anyway.
I let her take me down to the lobby, we still had half an hour before we would meet and I mean…

“I can adjust my plans to yours” I grinned and let my hand wander from Sara’s back to her lower back until I reached her nice round behind.
“MATT! Stop that” She laughed and quickened her pace letting my hand grab only air this time.

“What you think is for later, not now” She turned around and gave me a wink and a smile and I groaned out loud.
“You tease, you know what that look does to me, don’t you?” I said and walked quickly up behind her, grabbing her around the waist and pulling her to my chest.

We stood on the way to the beach and the sun was beginning to slowly set, what a view.
I really could get used to this…
Wait… what?!

To Sara or to holding a woman? Was I ready for another relationship? No, it’s too soon anyway, and Sara and I both agreed this was just a summer fling. We both came out of relationships that ended badly, how could we help each other?!
Madman and Madwoman found love together?
Yeah, right…

“Come on, let’s go” I had to pull away, just a little, the thought had disturbed me and I had no idea where it came from.

“Look how beautiful” Sara said and held her face up towards the sky to catch the last sun rays on her face and I smiled, “It is” But I wasn’t talking about the setting I was thinking about the woman beside me.

We walked for 20 minutes and buried our feet in the sand, when we thought it was time to go back, we walked back up to the hotel, seeing Arin and Johnny already waiting for us in the foyer, but where are Brian, Amy and Zack?

Just when I thought that, the elevator binged and the door opened to reveal the missing three members, weird how easy the thought came that Amy and Sara belonged now to the members of our little group.

“God, I’m hungry!” Johnny said and quickly moved in next to Sara “You up for some drinking today, or still not feeling too peachy?”
I rolled my eyes, this guy never had anything else in his head, did he?
Drinking and Jokes and women…
If I thought about it like that, not the worst combination… I shrugged and followed the group.

Johnny took a chair from the side, next to Arin leaving Sara to sit beside him, without any place for me to sit next to Sara, was that little worm doing that on purpose?
I gave him a narrowed look and he shrugged.

“Come on, Sara” I gently took her elbow and guided her to the other side of the table, there she sat next to me, on the other side of her Amy and at the head of the table to Amy’s side sat Brian and opposite of Amy Zack, leaving Arin and Johnny the remaining seats.

I heard Sara and Amy whisper but Amy’s words sounded rather short and clipped, weird…
“Amy!” Sara’s voice a little harsher now and I saw Amy narrow her eyes at Sara “It’s fine, okay?!”

The waiter came and interrupted us to get our orders for drinks, he had a lot to write since everyone decided on something different but also we all wanted to try some wine fitting to the meal we would later decide on.

I leaned over to Sara and whispered in her ear “You and Amy are good, right?” I asked and heard a sigh “Weare, yes” She didn’t look at me but her eyes were directed at one of my friends, Brian in particular, but what was that about?

“So there is no problem?” I tried again and this time Sara turned to me, she put her hand on my thigh making me sit up a little straighter.
“Between us there is no problem. Don’t worry, okay?” She said and her voice was strained and I knew something was up but I just didn’t know what!

“Hey, I saw there was a water ski shop, we could go there tomorrow some adventures fun, what do you guys say?” Johnny asked when the waiter left our table to get the menu cards for us.
“Yeah, you guys should try” I said and smirked, knowing Sara and I done that already, and I wanted to spend the day tomorrow with her and no one else.

“Hmm.. Sanders, I said us.. not just-” Johnny looked at me smug and I was tempted to give him the finger but refused.
“We already tried that, it’s lots of fun, you should do that tomorrow” Sara said and Johnny nodded “Oh.. okay.”

“Well, Brian?” Johnny looked over to them and both Amy and Brian started shaking their heads.
“I have different plans” Brian said and his eyes went over to Amy, as if to reassure himself.
“Oh you? As in you alone, huh?!” Sara cut in and I frowned as did Brian.
“Sara!” Amy hissed and Sara rolled her eyes “What?”

The waiter held the menu cards out interrupting the scene again and I still had no idea what this was about or why Sara acted so weirdly?!
What was happening around here and why was Sara so keen on cutting in between what Brian said?

We all read in the menu and silence was settling between us, when I chose my meal and looked up I saw Brian tapping Amy’s hand on the table, she looked up and they seemed to stare at each other for a moment without saying a word, did they have some troubles?

Now I regretted not getting the chance to talk to Brian alone on the beach, I had no idea what was going on here really?!
Did he and Sara have a fight? Or had he said something to upset her?
Shit, I couldn’t even ask Sara now, cause we all were in hearing distance of the others.

“So what is the plan for tomorrow?” Arin asked this time and I rolled my eyes “Guys, can’t you three do something together, maybe you want to do a nice boat trip, I heard there is a nice secluded island where you can go swimming, have drinks in bars and even go to a climbing park…” I said and had to keep the smirk off my face, even though I saw and heard Sara and Amy chuckle.

“And what will you be doing?” Johnny cut in looking at Sara and me as if to point out there was more, like they tried to tell me already on the beach, but I wouldn’t back down now.

“Well, while you three make a sausage party, Sara and I will do something fun for us. I promised to take her around the city, maybe renting some small motorcycle or something, don’t know yet… but yes you heard correctly just us.” I said and narrowed my eyes, giving them a no- go look before they thought about stupid comments.

“Just you two, huh? Like a coup-” Johnny said and I knew that little fucker had to say something.
“Fuck off, Christ.” I cut him off so he wouldn’t say anything stupid, making Sara pull away from me again.
I wanted the full adventure with her for the last days, everything I could get… and not let this assholes cut between it.

“And you two?” Zack’s voice sounded and I looked over to Brian and Amy. Brian looked at us around the table and I wasn’t sure what his expression should tell me, was he searching for help or was he trying to wager our reaction.

“We will do some of the activities the hotel is offering” Brian said and his eyes moved back to Amy.
“I mean we get all this honeymoon stuff they offer and we paid for it so we should use it, right?” Brian said and gave a small smile and Amy nodded a little absent.

“Oh because you paid for it… hmm.. nice reason, really?!” Sara said full of sarcasm and I snapped my head to her, why was he acting so bitchy right now?!
What had Brian done to her?
Didn’t she realize he is one of my best friends?! What was wrong suddenly?! I definitely had to pull her aside as soon as this dinner was done.

“I bet there are other reasons you want to participate” Zack offered with a smile and Amy’s eyes lifted giving him a smile in return while Brian nodded “Yeah of course…that’s what I was getting to…”
Brian took Amy’s hand now on the table and again they shared a silent look and as if on cue the waiter came to take our orders, well this looked like it’s gonna be an interesting evening…
