Brian’s POV

I let my hand run over Ave’s back, caressing her soft skin. After wedding night round one and two, we made a short pause to order something to eat.

“Why don’t you order the food and I will quickly head into the shower?” Ave smiled at me seductively and I grinned.

“What do you want?” I asked and she bite her lip “Beside me” I grinned and Ave chuckled “Everything, I could eat the whole menu” She laughed and I nodded “So it shall be”

Ave went into the shower while I talked to the kitchen, they would prepare a buffet from our wedding menu so we could chose what we liked best. With that task done, I quickly shed my boxers and moved into the bathroom, following Ave.

Damn I just couldn’t get fucking enough of my wife. I loved that, my wife. She was all mine now.

“What are you doing, Brian?!” Ave asked when she heard the door close behind me.

“Food will take a moment, that’s why I thought we could have a moment too” I grinned and opened the shower door. Hot steam coming my way, and I moved inside.

I pressed my body to Ave’s, she fit me so fucking perfect, like she was made for me. How could it be any different?!

“Do you think they miss us at the party?” Ave asked huskily and I chuckled, this was my Ave, always concerned about the others.

“No, they have music, drinks and food and they don’t have to pay for it, it should be all good.” I nibbled on Ave’s shoulder and she melted against me. “Hmmm…”

“What about Maya and Matt, they seemed-” She started and I bite a little harder “Shhh… we can think about them tomorrow, tonight it’s just us. I married you, babe. Not Maya” I grinned and Ave turned around to stare at me “I know, but you also know that Maya and I are a package deal, you only get us both.”

I knew this would get me slapped but I had to say it “Really, where is she now?” As I thought, Ave slapped my shoulder water droplets splashing into my eyes “Ass” She smiled and I grinned “I know you are concerned, babe. That’s why I love you even more, but now you have to forget Maya or Matt, or anyone else. You have to concentrate fully on your husband, here with you- in the shower. And tomorrow when we arrived at the airport you can call Maya to check on her, okay?” I compromised and Ave nodded “I think that will work.”

I grinned “Now, come here, wifey. I need you- again” I grabbed Ave’s waist and lifted her up, her legs wound around me and my chock was already at her entrance. I pushed Ave against the tiles and made her squeak “AH GOD SHIT!” Ave’s call echoed and I grinned “Cold tiles, ah ah” I let her down slowly and thrust forward, entering her in just one movement, making Ave forget about the tiles or water or everything around us.

She held onto my shoulder, her nails digging deep, probably already leaving marks or drawing blood, but I didn’t care, everyone could see that she was mine, that I wore her mark, as she wore mine. I head probably left a mark or two, or four on her earlier, shit I really hadn’t myself under control after she thought Jason was me.

I tried to stay calm, and I did, I mean I could have punched my best friend bloody in front of all our friends and families but I didn’t. I stay calm, mostly… fine I had carried Ave off like an Neanderthal, but still with class.

“OH GOD! BRIAN I’M CLOSE” Ave yelled her nails digging deeper, “Almost there!” She yelled again and I kissed her, drowning her cries and absorbing them inside me, I felt the pressure build and wanted to come together “OH FUCK!” I cried “COME FOR ME! NOW!” I growled and Ave’s inner walls clenched down on me hard, I couldn’t hold back and shot inside her moving still, shuddering I slowly let her down on her feet, Ave stumbled but I held her up.

“I really need…” Ave breathed deeply in and out “food now” She finished and I grinned. “Sorry, for getting you all dirty again, babe” I grinned. “Let me help you clean” I grabbed the soap and we both cleaned each other, my minds running a mile a minute again, wanting her again, but I tried to hold on to myself, knowing we had to eat something first, we still had all our honeymoon time for each other, it was just us for two weeks – Bahamas we are coming.

After eating almost everything that the room service brought us Ave and I fell asleep. I held her in my arms the entire night, and when my phone rang I sighed loudly. Which idiot would call us in the morning of our honeymoon?!

I tried to ignore it, but Ave stirred next to me. “Who is it?” Ave mumbled, her hair a tousled mess around her head.

“Let’s sleep, he will call again” I mumbled, pulling Ave closer against my chest, trying to get back to sleep.

The ringing continued and Ave lifted herself up “Maybe it’s important” I sighed and pushed myself onto my elbows. I looked at Ave first “You have never looked better, babe” I smiled, seeing her still sleepy and rosy. God, I had to have her again soon.

I looked at my phone “Alarm- Honeymoon- Bahamas”

“Oh shit!” I looked at the clock, it was already 8 am, we had to be at the airport by 9, and still had to pack. Oh holy fuck! Why hadn’t anyone woken us!

I looked at the phone from the hotel and saw that I had pulled out the plug because the ringing of the room service had irritated me.

“Babe, don’t freak out, but we have to hurry. Or we will miss our plane” I said softly and Ave’s tired eyes popped open wide “What?! What time is it?” She sprang out of bed stark naked running around and I smiled “It’s 8, but I guess we still have time for some-”

“EIGHT!? Are you crazy, we have to leave, get our bags, we have to pack, and we should be at the airport to check in by 8:30! BRIAN! WE WILL MISS OUR HONEYMOON!”

I climbed out of bed, pulling my boxers and pants on “We won’t I won’t let us. We will get dressed, then head home, throw some shit in our bags and leave, the rest we will buy new, who cares?” I shrugged and Ave looked at me like I had three heads, okay fine.

“We will manage, don’t worry.” I kissed her quickly and we both got dressed, went into the bathroom and then headed down towards the reception.

“THERE THEY ARE FINALLY!” I heard Jimmy scream through the entire hotel and reception area!
“We though you would miss your plane, so late I mean-” Jimmy started and Ave turned towards me with a panicked look.

“BRIAN!” Ave screeched but Jess stepped forward handing Ave a bag “Here, Maya packed everything yesterday. I don’t know where she is but she placed it here, so you won’t get stressed. And Jimmy has Brian’s bag.” Jimmy handed me a bag and I sighed.

“See, everything is fine.”I kissed Ave’s head and she sighed then looked around “Where is Maya? Didn’t she want to come?” She asked confused and Jess and Jimmy shrugged and I pulled her close.

“Hey, maybe she needed some sleep after the long party, she had a tough job yesterday” I soothed her and Ave nodded “Right. I will call her later” She smiled then we kissed and hugged Jimmy and Jess goodbye before jumping into our cab to bring us towards the airport.

In about six hours we would be lying on the beach of the Bahamas, I couldn’t wait. Or rather we would first test if the bed in that hotel was as good as in this, or the shower, floor, Jacuzzi….

I grinned, life was freaking good. I couldn’t stop smiling, we were in time at the gate, were settled into the plane and I laid my arm around Ave. We had the best friends in the world, everything had worked out perfectly and now, two weeks of just me and my wife lay in front of me.

“Are you happy?” Ave asked smiling at me from the side.
“More than that” I grinned and Ave nodded “Everything was wonderful… I loved every moment of it”
“Me too. Seeing you in the chapel, my heart beat so fast, I thought it would jump out of my chest. You are the most beautiful bride I have ever seen!”
“Wife” Ave corrected and I grinned “Wife!” I agreed, I kissing her deeply and felt the smile on my lips that probably wouldn’t leave for the next two weeks.

Maya’s POV

I watched as Brian carried Ave off, and a sad smile came over my face. I could picture me and Matt, just like that.
What I wouldn’t give to have my happy ever after with him. I turned towards him and saw him staring at me, what had gone so damn wrong with us, why couldn’t we just go back to normal?!

Why had I started to believe my brother, when my family was right beside me at this moment. And not the one that pushed into my life and tried to direct it the way they wanted it. I was an idiot for not seeing it earlier, but why had Matt given up on everything.

And why couldn’t I only feel safe with him around me, just thinking that in only a couples of hours I would be going back to that hotel all alone was making me dread the end of the night.

I heard some counting and then heard Matt’s voice behind me, and everything went way too quick.

“Can I—” Matt started and then Ave’s bouquet landed in my hands. I hadn’t even seen anything fly or that it was happening, I started at the flowers, my mouth hanging open while friends and family member cheered and clapped. I fumbled with the flowers and then looked down at them with wide eyes, shaking my head. This couldn’t be fucking real. Why?

I quickly looked up toward saw Matt, my mouth still open not able to say anything. This was the worst that could happen, I was the one wanting to propose Matt, I was the one wanting to marry next, yes all yes, but not not at the situation like this. Matt would up and run seeing me with this, when he couldn’t even be in the same room with me without fighting.

“You’re next, Maya!” Jess gushed as I shook my head.

“No… no I’m not,” I said, shaking my head, Matt would probably never not ever in his lifetime thinking about marrying me, and now seeing me with this would probably put even more pressure or well, not pressure anymore but even more hate into the break up we had.

I saw how Matt swallowed thickly, probably arrived that anyone would ask him about us, about the date or anything else. Or he just hated to see me with this, anyway, I saw him leave, a fucking gain, it seemed to be his new hobby, running away from me.

“Maya? Are you okay?” Jess took the flowers from my hands “You know, we don’t mean it-” She started and Jimmy came out of nowhere hugging me. “I knew it would be you” I felt tears prickle my eyes, yet again. How could Jimmy say that? He knew we were apart, why did he act like nothing happened.

“Jimmy, please-” I swallowed, tried to sound normal and pushed Jimmy away. He looked confused and taken aback.

I had to get out of here, I couldn’t stand here any longer. Ave and Brian were long gone, so it didn’t matter if I was still here or not, right?! I had to leave this happy place with the couple, the loud music, with everything that I wasn’t feeling.

I still wished for numbness that never came. I wanted to get away, as far away as possible. But I couldn’t go home, because I didn’t have any home. For me waited only a hotel room, with or without my brother. I had no idea if he was still around or wanted to be around.

Before heading out I grabbed a bottle of whiskey of the table and went towards back patio. I heard the waves crash onto the shore and that’s where I wanted to be.

Finally I let the tears come out. I kicked off my shoes and let them at the sidewalk. I didn’t care that the night air was getting colder, I only felt my heavy and breaking heart, not the wind and not the cold.

I sat down on the bench and lifted my feet up, cowering into myself. I lifted the bottle to my lips and took a big gulp swallowing and doing it all in reverse. I needed numbness and alcohol would get me what I wanted, at least that was what I hoped.

The tears ran down my cheeks, probably ruining that perfect make up, just as it was my mask was slowly falling, I could finally give in to the sadness. I didn’t have to play happy anymore. I could finally let it all come out.

I sobbed and cried, while I lifted the bottle again and then looked at the ocean. At least now, my tears wouldn’t feel alone, with the waves crashing down my tears were just a small drop compared to those. And no one would see or hear me here anyway, I was alone… and I should get used to it.

I swallowed again and set the bottle down, realizing it didn’t help as I hoped it would be. At least the alcohol kept me warm, if it even didn’t numb the pain.

Even through my closed eyelids I felt the tears escaping, as if I hadn’t cried enough these last weeks. I should be all out off tears and still they kept coming. I could see Matt running away from me with that bouquet, horrified of the idea of marriage, of marrying someone like me.

God, where had it all gone wrong, what had happened to us. Even if we fought we always came back together, why hadn’t this happened now? I wanted Matt, I did… he was my one and only. He was the one man I had opened up too.

How could he forget what we have been through, right from the start. He fought for our relationship even when I wanted to back out… he made me see that we were right, why didn’t he see that anymore?!

“Maya?” I heard Matt’s voice over the waves and opened my eyes. I dabbed my eyes with the tissue I still had in a death grip. Shit, that was just perfect, now he would see me completely fallen apart. Just what I needed.

I whisked away the tears and looked up at him, he looked around and then at me again. “Are you crying?” He asked the obvious and I was just all out of energy to give him a good reply so I justlifted my shoulders shrugging.

“Can I?” He motioned to the bench and I nodded “Sure” I said and sighed. Matt sat his glass down and instead of just sitting down, he inched next to me and laid his arm around my shoulders, he pulled me in and I immediately felt his warmth. God, I really hadn’t noticed how cold the air had become.

“You are ice cold.” He rubbed my arm and pulled me closer, I couldn’t help it and wrapped my arms around him, seeking the warmth.

“Whiskey?” Matt’s deep voice rumbled and I looked at the half empty bottle next to me. “Hmm..” I nodded into his chest. God, he smelled so good. How could someone smell so good. Would he notice if I licked his neck, just a taste.

Damn it, the alcohol was suddenly beginning to sink in, I guess.

I closed my eyes again and inhaled, I knew Matt could hear it, knew I was inhaling his unique smell, but at this moment I didn’t care.

“Why were you crying, M.?” Matt asked and I pushed away a little, reluctantly he let me go. “Because I didn’t have someone to dance for the next dance?” I tried to joke lamely and Matt shook his head.

“Don’t” He shook his head and I sighed. “Because I had to get out of there, okay? Ave and Brian were gone, why would I have to play the host still, the party will be fine without me. And-and the only person that… and why did you go?” I changed my sentence afraid to say something that would make him leave, when I wanted to say ‘And the only person that I wanted to be with left- you- idiot!’

Matt swallowed and looked away from me, probably for the first time since he arrived. I tried to smooth my hair, and wish away the marks from my make up, but Matt grabbed my hands stilling them, holding them.

“You look beautiful.” He said and I couldn’t hold his stare. “I don’t and you don’t have to be nice, just because I cried.” I looked away even more. I had to look horrible and we both knew it. Matt couldn’t stand seeing girls cry, that’s why he was so nice. He still was the knight in shining armor, if his feelings were gone or not.

His hand moved to my face and he whisked away a remaining tear “You do. And-” He started but stopped, I looked up at him.

“Why is this so hard?” He asked more himself than me. “I just… this hot and cold… I can’t M. I can’t do this.” He said and I frowned, what was he talking about?!

“You can’t do what?” I frowned and he looked into my eyes, I stared into his hazel ones and his warm hand on my cheek, made me realize how close we were again.

“This” He motioned between the small space between us and my heart sank. “You can’t do us?” I asked and he looked confused “No, that’s not what I meant-”

“Wow, you came out here to tell me that? Thanks, if my evening hadn’t been ruined already, you would have done it now, but hey, why not twist the knife a little deeper-” I wanted to get up and walk off but, Matt pulled me down.

“Damn it, I didn’t mean it like that… Look, M. Why don’t we… fucking talk tomorrow. We are both not at our top game, okay? Why don’t I send you a message tomorrow, or call you. We will be both sober and have dinner or lunch or something? I really didn’t mean it like that” Matt tried to stay focused and he was right. I knew that but still… it hurt so bad to hear him say that.

“Maya? Please?” Matt asked and I nodded “Okay. You call?” I asked a little hope blooming inside me and Matt smiled his dimples showing and my smile got even wide, god how I missed to see those dimples.

“You looked good on stage” The words popped out before I could stop them. The smile became a laugh and I held my hand before my mouth, why the hell did I say that.

“I have been working out, you know” Matt smirked and I chuckled “I could tell.” I grinned and it almost was back to normal. I would grant myself a small moment with him, before I would leave, I didn’t want to ruin what we had settled now.

“Come here, you must be freezing” He pulled me in and had probably the same idea then me. I leaned against him and he held me close. I didn’t want this moment to end, I wanted him to take me home, to his- our home. But I knew that wouldn’t happen.

“I think, I should go now… I have a lunch date tomorrow” I winked and pulled away from Matt.
“You are probably right, me too.” He grinned and helped me stand up. My feet touched the ground and I felt stupid for discarding my pumps somewhere along the way, in the dark.

“Shit, where are your shoes?” Matt looked around and I lifted my shoulders “I lost them on the way” I grinned sheepishly and Matt rolled his eyes then he moved in beside me and lifted me up “Wait, what?!”

“I will not let you walk around barefoot, I will bring you to a cab.” With that he marched forward, he let me grab my purse and lifted me into a waiting cab. I smiled when the cab drove off and I waved Matt a final time, maybe we did manage to get this all done, maybe… if tomorrow we could talk it all out it would go back to normal. A smile came over my face but when I saw the hotel coming closer it vanished.

I only had my purse with me, phone and everything else I had left behind knowing I would be mostly dancing and on my feet anyway. I hoped that Trevor was there, or I had to find someone at the hotel to leave me into my room.

I knocked on the door, no reaction. I repeated the action again and called “Trevor, it’s me. Open up, please” I stood barefoot on the cold concrete floor, moving from one foot to the other. “Trevor!”

“SHUT UP” A neighbor called and I sighed.

I headed down the stairs towards the reception, I knocked and someone opened up, thank god.

“Oh hey, we were just about to close, its passed 3 am” I nodded “I know, my brother wouldn’t open the door and I don’t have the spare key, would you-”

“Room 214?” He asked with afrown, typing into his keyboard. “Yes” I nodded again moving from left to right.

“Well, your friend checked out and gave me both keys. I paid him the money for the remaining days that you originally booked and re-rented the room by now. He took everything with him, just left this one suitcase here, said someone must have forgotten it. Oh and this note.” He handed me a small envelope.

I couldn’t believe what was happening. I opened the envelope and read the words that my so called brother had written.

Sorry Sis,
you are broke, had to move on to find someone else with money.
Oh yeah thanks for the cash, phone etc.
Makes up a little for the death of our parents that you caused, don’t you ever forget that.
Have you really thought that I would want to have anything to do with you? Funny, you really thought that… oh and have fun finding somewhere to sleep-
Love, Trev

This couldn’t be real, this must be some joke. I looked at the suitcase, he had thrown everything inside, probably stolen a couple of pieces too. I checked my purse, no money inside, and my credit card gone.

“Can I have your phone?” I asked and the man looked at me with sympathy. “Yes, but you have to hurry, I need to close up now.”

“But-but I need a room, please” I asked shocked and he shook his head “I’m sorry, but we are overbooked.”

I took the phone and dialedand stopped, I couldn’t call Ave, it was her wedding night. I couldn’t call Matt, we were still… well, I had no idea where we were at.

I tried Jimmy, that was also the only remaining number I had in mind. But of course he wouldn’t be hearing his phone, fuck.

I called the hotel, but there was also no one picking up “Fuck, please, please” I pleaded with the phone when I tried it a second time.

“Sorry, Ms. But you have to leave now.” I swallowed thickly, took my suitcase, finding a pair of heels and put them on my feet, wincing. “Ouch”

I stood at the street with just my bridesmaid dress, high heels and my half empty suitcase. Without my phone, without money or a credit card. With just a letter of my brother who told me I was nothing to him, he fooled me, just as I had already thought, but even worse.

I had to find somewhere to sleep, or I had to walk around till the morning, till someone would hear my calls, which probably wouldn’t be before the afternoon, and I couldn’t call Ave, she was having her honeymoon… but I needed her, I needed my best friend… oh fuck, what was I supposed to do?!
