Amy’s POVThe so easily said words from Arin wouldn’t leave my mind, I should have known and I could have guessed from Brian’s behavior, from Brian’s looks and at the latest from Brian’s job that he and probably all his band mates were playboys, but somehow I just kind of ignored the fact.

I ignored it, cause I could. I ignored it cause it fitted this holidays so good, he was behaving differently with me, he wasn’t looking after other women, he wasn’t flirting with anyone, he was behaving like I was the only woman he had eyes for and that made me think that I really was the only woman… how wrong could I be, right?!

After we decided to head to our room it just got more and more awkward between us. The perfect last day starting with the dancing, continuing with the massage, making love and finished up with the cinema, making love and taking pictures… it just had been too good to be true, it had been too much… and now I got back down on my feet, back to reality, fairytale land was over.

But even though I was just thinking about this, why did I find myself and Brian in the shower together just a few minutes later?!
What does this man have that I just couldn’t stay away? Couldn’t say no?!

We were under the spray when my phone started ringing in the distance and I cursed mentally. I really didn’t want to leave the cozy shower and wanted a final time to forget everything and just been held by Brian, but I knew I couldn’t and more important, I shouldn’t!

“Don’t. Let it go” Brian whispered as he tried to pull me closer again, but I wouldn’t let me.
“It could be my parents; I can’t leave it, they will only call again.” I turned and apologized, while I managed to get free and wrap myself in a towel and then disappeared into the living room, following the ringing noise of my phone.

I quickly grabbed my phone and saw who was calling and honestly I was really debating with myself on picking up, but he just wouldn’t give up… so finally I lifted the phone to my ear.

“Hi James, what’s going? You do remember I’m coming back soon, right?” I asked and I knew it did sound a little like a rebuke, but it was right, I was going home today, couldn’t this wait one more day?

“Amy… I know… I know, but this is really important and I couldn’t wait to tell you” James sounded excited and I frowned, he normally wasn’t like this.
“What couldn’t wait?” I asked a small smile on my lips because I could hear how he was now pacing his office.

“Okay, listen… we talked about this before and I know I might have stretched my guidelines a little, but… I got this new case. It is a divorce and I want you to take the lead in it.” James said and my breath caught in my throat.
“You want what?” I breathed out softly after regaining my thinking again. He knew I wanted to take more responsibility but taking over a whole case?

“I will help you, if you need me of course, but I think you are ready for this Amy, you are way too good for your current job and I want you to step it up. I already arranged everything and as soon as you are able to we can get through the case together.”

“You really think that I am ready for something like this?” I asked not really believing what I just heard, it was one of my dreams taking over one case myself but haven’t seen that coming any time soon.

“Amy, of course you are ready. I can support you, have a look over your shoulder, but I believe you won’t need me.” He chuckled and I had to laugh softly, he was a great boss and he really knew what to say, didn’t he?!

“But you know… I wouldn’t want you to treat it differently now it’s about me, James” I said, afraid he would make a huge deal out of it, even though it would be just small compared to everything he did before.

“Amy, like I said I will support you and we can-” James started again and I stopped him midsentence.
“No… I know… but there is no use of making a big deal out of this. I mean…” I was thinking of putting it in the right words, I would love to take over the job, but was afraid he would shout it from the rooftops and then I would fail miserably, maybe keeping it quiet in the beginning would be better.

“Let’s keep this all under wraps… Promise me, James, this is just like any other divorce you handled, don’t treat me differently, okay?” I asked and James sighed loudly “You will manage everything perfectly, but if you want to keep it low for now, no problem, we can discuss everything when you are back, now I wish you a safe travel… See you in the next days.” With that James hung up and I grinned, oh my god, I would climb up the grease pole after all these years!

But then when I turned around and thought about Brian… he was still in the bathroom, was he alright?!
When I joined him he just gave me clipped answers and he was even more distanced then before, so I did what I had to do anyway, I folded all the clothes, separating between the clothes that Matt bought for us and mine.

Afterwards I went to the bathroom to get completely ready and that was when I heard a knock on the door that must be Matt and Sara, they were on time and I didn’t know if I liked that.
I knew we had to leave to be at the airport in time and I knew we couldn’t miss our flights but it was getting more and more real now!

Before I could finish my thoughts the bathroom door opened and Sara slipped in.
I immediately saw her expression and that completely resembled mine, trying to be strong while in the inside everything started to crumble.

Maybe it was best to make it a quick goodbye and not really drag on? But could I do that, shake Brian’s hand like nothing happened agreeing to the quick divorce, just signing some papers and then going back to normal life?
Did I have a choice even?!

“How are you feeling?” Sara asked finally a sigh escaping her lips and I gave her a weak smile in return.
“Not too peachy, but will probably change when we are back, right?” I asked hopeful that Sara would take some of the uneasiness from me, but I knew she couldn’t.

“I hope for the same… I mean, what choice do we have, right?” Sara asked and I shook my “No choice, it’s for the better, right?”
“It definitely is. You deserve better than that guy” Sara muttered under her breath making me open my mouth wanting to ask her about it but a knock on the door interrupted us.

“Girls? The shuttle for the airport is here… Are you ready?” Matt’s voice sounded and I breathed deeply in and out while Sara closed her eyes shortly “We are coming.”

“What do we do about the money thing? Have you talked to Matt about it? I was thinking about selling the clothes or giving them back.. maybe-” I shrugged not really knowing what to say and Sara shook her head “I also packed them in an extra bag, but didn’t get to talk to Matt about it… Maybe when you sign the divorce papers we could send them a check together?!” Sara shrugged and I nodded, she was right, maybe later not now.

I opened the door and stepped out, quickly followed by Sara. “Where are your bags?” I asked looking between Matt and Sara back and forth until Matt gave me a smile “We let the hotel bring them down, should be in the shuttle car already”

“Oh okay.” I nodded and grabbed my bag from the bed, but then Brian took it from my hands, but without saying a word.
“Acting like a gentleman to finish this off, huh?” Sara mumbled and I elbowed her in the side, it was enough, we didn’t need another scene now, we wouldn’t be seeing them again, so she didn’t have to go all out now.

“What?” Sara lifted her eyebrows at me and I gave her a sign to let go and she nodded seeming to get that it wasn’t worth another fight, we would sit in different planes just in an hour so everything else then saying goodbye would be too much said.

We headed to the elevator and went down in silence, none of us talking, and not the comfortable kind of silence, no - more the awkward one, like a big elephant was in the room but none of us wanted to mention it.

When we all checked out of the hotel and moved outside towards the shuttle car that would bring us to the airport we suddenly heard some yelling behind us, which made all of us stop in our tracks.
“I knew this would be coming” I heard Brian sigh and Matt chuckled “You thought we would get away, without them realizing?”
“Well, a man can hope” Brian replied and I turned to look about what they were talking.

“BESTIE!!” Johnny’s loud voice boomed from the entrance, the door was thrown open and Johnny, Arin and last Zack came running out towards us.
“You thought we would let you get away like that?” Johnny asked while grabbing Sara in a long hug and kissing her cheek, while talking about something he had mentioned to her the evening before, whatever that was.

“And you thought I would let my best friend’s wife disappear without as much as a goodbye, come on” Zack pulled me in a gentle hug.
“Honestly I didn’t know what to think” I whispered back while he still held me in his arms.
“Amy, don’t make it too easy for him… I told you maybe there is more to it then you see, keep that in mind, okay? And promise me we will see us again.” Zack pulled away, but he held me an arms length away, his sparkling green eyes boring into mine.

“You always meet twice, right?” I asked not really giving him and answer and he looked at me a moment longer before I suddenly was pulled into Johnny’s and then Arin’s arms. Arin apologized for ruining the mood the evening before, but I told him it was fine and it wasn’t his fault, not when he spoke the truth. After saying goodbye a dozen times now, the four of us were finally sitting in the car, on our way to our final destination together, the airport.
Matt’s POV
I looked to the side and stared at Sara, shit… I found myself doing that a lot, practically every few seconds, making sure she was still there? Because I knew soon she wouldn’t?!
God, what was wrong with me? And why was I so obsessed with this woman?

“Are our planes leaving at the same time?” I asked just to break the silence and then I felt my hand move to hold Sara’s without giving it much thought. When I did realize what I was doing I wanted to pull away but Sara gave it a small squeeze so I sighed and let my thumb run over her palm.

I looked over to Brian and Amy and they were sitting stiffly next to each other, not touching at any opportunity. I still hadn’t talked to Brian longer than the few minutes that the girls had been in the bathroom before we left, and we didn’t get to exchange much, afraid that the girls would walk out any second.

I just got that Brian was pissed and I think it wasn’t just about that we are leaving or that he had to say goodbye I think something else was playing a part in this too, but I didn’t know what it was just yet.

“Our flight is at 9:45” Amy replied quietly and I nodded “Ours around 9:30” I said when a thought crossed my mind, I still had no idea where Sara and Amy were even coming from.
“Where are you even from?” I asked the question crossing my mind and Sara and Amy chuckled “Phoenix, Arizona” Both answered making me gape, shit… that wasn’t even in the same state, so my hopes of accidentally running into each other was vanishing immediately.

“Phoenix” I replied with a sigh, damn… not even a nice place to plan a vacation to, no beach, no-
What the hell was I thinking there!

“Here we are, I wish you guys a nice and safe trip home in the name of the whole hotel team” The driver said while he opened the doors for us and handed us our luggage.
I took my bag in one hand and then grabbed Sara’s in the other, while Brian was doing the same for Amy. Those two still hadn’t talked and this was getting more and more awkward.

“We should check in probably” Brian said not glancing at Amy and walked ahead and we had no other choice then to follow him.
Everything was sooner settled then I would have thought and we still had some minutes left before we could board.

But should we drag the unavoidable even further? Or should we now say our goodbyes and just get it over with?! I should act like everything is cool right? I mean both Sara and I said, it would end and this was just some fun summer fling, so I should act that part and not make it any harder for her or me.

“So two weeks are over… damn the time just flew by” I said turning fully to Sara, not really wanting to have Brian or Amy listening in, they probably had to say their goodbyes as well.
“I can’t believe how fast” Sara sighed a small smile playing on her lips.

“Who would have thought that we would have so much fun during this time, huh? I mean after being strangers and all, but I think we made the fucking right choice and getting the best out of these two weeks” I said and took a step closer to Sara.

“Yeah definitely a good choice” She breathed and I grinned, “These last minutes still count for this vacation, right?” I purred and Sara’s eyes widened, she got to know my deep voice when I wanted something special.

“Sure, we said two weeks… and those two weeks are only over when I am sitting back in the plane, you know” Sara’s husky voice sounded and I grabbed her hips, pulling her closer to me “I’m glad we think alike” I whispered to her lips, before crashing mine down on hers.

I quickly demanded entrance, but at first Sara seemed to want to stay a little distanced, but if this was my only chance to get a last taste of her I would try as long as I could, but then she gave in, her hands finding their way up over my shoulders and slung around my neck, I wished we were in a more secluded area, because then I would have really taken the chance on tasting her a final time, but I couldn’t now, not in the middle of the airport.

“This two week fling, was probably the best idea I ever had” I sighed out while letting my lips travel up and down her throat, at first Sara looked a little perplex at my words but then nodded her head “Yes, two weeks… so easy, no attachment, just fun… and then going back to what we had before, right?” She said, her fingernails digging through my shirt into my shoulders, making me want her even more.

I tried to memorize each curve, her smell, her taste, everything I could… I didn’t know if it would in the end hurt even more, or if it wouldn’t matter at all, maybe it was like we planned, going back and everything was back to normal, but what if not?!

“I think that was our plane” Brian’s annoyed voice sounded next to me and I shook my head, that couldn’t be, I wasn’t done yet.
“Sanders, you heard me?” Brian’s voice again and I waved him with one free hand away “We are not done, they will announce it again.” I told him while he huffed out air and turned back to Amy.

“We should say goodbye” Sara pulled away, her hands running from my shoulders down over my chest, and abs and stopped on my waist.
“Yeah, you are right.” I nodded while I looked at Sara a final time, would this really be the last time that I would see her?

I took in her blonde hair now a little messed up from our making out, her blue eyes shining with lust, lust that I placed there a final time, and her clothes that looked a little wrinkled and she tried to pull the shirt back into her pants making me chuckle lightly.
“Thank you for the adventure” Sara said and gave me a weak smile “I really enjoyed our time together” I had to act the part, come on Sanders, grow a pair and man up.

“Yeah, I enjoyed our time as well. I probably never had a better vacation and that we could agree so easily on everything made this really a memory to cherish, right?” I said and wanted to facepalm myself, god what was I even saying there!?

“Right… and now real life got us back under its wings…” She said and I nodded “Yeah, now we should get our life back in order and get out of this vacation mood” I said and Sara blinked a few times and then looked to the side, probably trying to see if Brian and Amy were also finishing up their goodbyes.

“I wish you a nice life, Matt.” Sara finished and then she tiptoed and placed a soft and lingering kiss to my lips, just when I was about to pull her closer for a final time, she pulled away and when I opened my eyes and mouth to reply to her and see where she was, I saw only one thing, the empty space before me, because she was gone.
