Last Kiss

"The flight leaves in 3 hours and we are checking out of here in an hour so I'm going to run to the bakery on the corner and get you something special for breakfast Princess" Angus tells me when we are lying in bed Saturday morning. I packed my bag last night, leaving out my clothes that I will need for today, just need to shower and eat breakfast and go.
"Can I stay here or do you need me to come with you?" I ask him
"You can stay, I won't be long baby" He says as he throws clothes on quickly, he kisses me then leaves. I lay back and allow myself 5 minutes of serenity before my busy day begins but my serenity is broken by the buzzing of Angus' phone, in his hast to get dressed he forgot to grab it and now all I can hear is the vibration of the phone on the bedside table, I know who it is before I look at the screen but there's her name 'Steph Washington' destroying my serenity. The buzzing stops momentarily but starts again a minute later, she's just going to keep calling until it's answered I reason with myself so I pick up the phone and slide the screen to answer the call.
"Ugh about time Angus, seriously, you know I hate when you don't answer" She bellows into the phone
"This isn't Angus, it's his girlfriend actually. He's not here but I'll be sure to tell him you called" I say in a tone I don't even recognise 
"Shit, sorry, I forgot he was with you, I'm glad he finally told you though" She says in her high pitched, singsong voice as I hear the keycard in the door, the door swings open and there is Angus.
"Baby, I forgot my..." He says as he comes in, then he sees me, his phone in my hand.
"Ah Steph, he's just walked back in" I tell her and hand the phone to Angus. There's a fire burning inside me, finally told me what exactly? That he is cheating on me with her? I storm off to the shower, alone, I don't want to hear their conversation, I'm just too angry, I'm angry at Steph for calling, I'm angry at Angus for hiding the calls from me but mostly I'm angry at myself for not speaking up sooner and now I look like the idiot girl who was in denial that her boyfriend was cheating on her.

The water is warm against my skin, it tingles and I let it wash over my face as I stand motionless under the rainfall shower head. I feel the tears escaping my eyes and I don't think I can stand up any longer, I crouch into a ball on the shower floor, placing my head on my knees, my hands under my legs and I let the sadness engulf me. I didn't even notice the water had stopped flowing until I feel the towel being wrapped around me. I pull my head up from my knees, my eyes sting from crying and my face is flush. He is sitting on the bathroom floor, knees pulled up to his chest, hands coving his face.
"It's not what you think" He says after a long silence
"What I think it is is that your ex girlfriend has been calling you for weeks and you've been hiding it from me" I say in a small voice, my fire has gone
"You knew?" He asks shocked, I stand up and dry myself off, step over him and walk out to where I left the clothes I forgot to grab before I stormed off. I dress myself quickly and I can feel that fire coming back.
"I guess you're not that good at covering your tracks" I yell at him
"Zoey I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to worry" He claims
"You thought hiding this from me wouldn't make me worry? Really?" I question him, "If you've done nothing wrong then you wouldn't have felt like you had to hide it from me, Hiding things is what deceitful people do, people who lie and cheat. Is it just phone calls or have you seen her too?" I stare at him, watching the colour drain from his face and the shame creep in.
"I saw her last week, we had coffee and talked. She knows about you, doesn't know details though like your name" His voice is small as he explains 
"So she knows you're with me right now and she still keeps calling you?" I yell
"She didn't know we were here, I didn't tell her that and I haven't answered any calls from her while we've been here" He tells me
"That's so thoughtful, not telling your mistress that you've taken your girlfriend on holiday, I'm sure next week you'll fly her somewhere too, don't worry, I won't call you while you're with her, I'm respectful like that" I explode
"She is not my mistress Zoey, she is my friend" He yells at me
"Your friend? Wow, a few months ago you hated her and now you're friends?" Im shocked
"I never said I hated her, I hated what she did but I never hated her Zoey. I am here with you, I want to be with you" He pleads with me
"And what about when you're not with me Angus? I really only see you on the weekends, that's a lot of time in between and I know you" I scream
"So I must be fucking her then? That's what you're saying, that I'm fucking Steph because I spend time alone with her and because I'm a man who can't control himself. I spend time alone with Annabelle too, I guess I'm fucking her too and Tess, we are alone sometimes, I'm fucking Tess too" He yells at me, he picks up his phone and throws it hard at the wall, the phone hits the wall and it breaks in two and I stand there stunned, I have no more words. I grab my bag from the floor and storm out the door towards the elevator, I no longer want to look at him. I sit in the hotel lobby alone, I watch him exit the elevator, walk to the desk and check out, then walks up to me
"Let's go" He says in a sour tone

We drive to the airport in silence, not even the radio is on. I stare out the window, watching the palm trees and mansions pass. I'm not sad, just angry. I feel his hand touch my knee and squeeze it, I push his hand away from me, I want nothing to do with him and I'm not ready to let this go.
We arrive at the airport, check in and walk to the lounge. I fill a plate with toast, eggs, bacon and grab a glass of juice. I find a table and sit down, I'm exhausted from the fight, from the crying and the yelling. I see Angus standing at the buffet talking to a girl with dark hair, he points to me and dark haired girl turns around and I see that it's Cassie. She runs over to where I am and we hug tightly
"Zoey what are you doing here? I've missed you so much.Are you flying first class?" She has so many questions
"Zoey and I came on holidays here for a couple of days and yes, we are flying first class" Angus walks up behind Cassie, answering her questions
"This is awesome" She exclaims
"Do you want to swap seats on the flight Cassie?" Angus asks her
"You don't want to sit next to me?" I ask him, insulted slightly but not surprised
"I just thought since you and Cassie haven't seen each other in two weeks that you would appreciate catching up on a 3 hour flight. Plus I'm probably not going to be much company anyway, I've got reports and schedules to do" He explains to me and then turns to Cassie "Hold her hand on take off and tell her to keep breathing, she gets a bit scared with take off" He tells her.
"I was sitting next to my dad and all he does is talk business and I hate talking business so you saved me, Thanks Angus, you're the best" Cassie praises him, "Your boyfriend is the best Zoey" She tells me and I smile at her because if I don't smile I will cry.

We take our seats on the plane, me next to Cassie and Angus next to Mr Goth a few rows in front of us. I watch as Angus and Mortimer starts chatting, then laughing, across the row from them is Alexander, Cassie's younger brother and Bella Goth. 
"What's been happening?" Cassie asks me, taking my hand, preparing for take off
"Not much, just came for a holiday and now going home" I tell her sadly
"Zoey?" She questions me
"I had a fight with Angus this morning, I think he's cheating on me with his ex" I break down
"Really?" She says shocked, "What happened?'
I give her all the details, the secret phone calls, how he had coffee with her, the fight and how he brought up about sleeping with Tess
"Zoey he wouldn't cheat on you with Tess" She tries to reassure me
"No but he would with his ex and the fact that he brought up Tess means that at some point he has thought about it, maybe he has some creepy twin fetish, I don't know, I feel like I don't know him at all and when we get off this plane I'm going to have to go back to his house and he's going to want to talk about his great new friendship with his ex girlfriend and then he'll act like I'm in the wrong for not understanding his great new friendship with his ex" I say quietly through tears, I don't want to create a scene on a plane full of strangers.
"Come back to my house, we will get ice cream and watch Buffy, kicking ass is comfort food remember?" Cassie offers
"Your parents won't mind will they?" I ask
"Not at all" She says and she squeezes my hand

We grab our bags from the carousel after landing, Cassie holds my hand for support as Angus approaches us.
"Ready to go home Princess?" He asks shyly, smile on his face, he thinks we've moved past the fight, that the 3 hours apart was enough time for me to calm down and get over it but I'm not over it, Im still angry, still hurt, still raw.
"I'm going to go home with Cassie" I tell him, I look at Cassie and give her a nod that it's ok if she steps away, she joins her family to tell them I'll be joining them. Angus looks at me with sadness in his eyes.
"Baby please, we can get through this. I want to spend tonight with you" He says, reaching out to touch my hand.
"Don't you dare fucking touch me or call me baby or Princess or any other cutesy name. I'm done Angus, I'm going home with Cassie and I want you to never contact me ever again. You want to talk about sleeping with Tess then you don't get to be in my life"  I tell him, calmly, clearly, grab my bag and walk away from him, it's only when I'm standing with Cassie that the tears fall from my eyes, I will not let him see that he broke me.

You are in Love

"Del sol Valley Celebrity walk of fame and then a movie?" Angus asks me over breakfast.
"Sounds like good way to spend our last day here" I enthuse, I'm sad that it's coming to an end and that we are flying home tomorrow.
"We have a lot more of the day to fill in though" He reminds me
"We can do relaxing things, go for a swim, go in the spa, get a massage" I make suggestions
"I could give you a massage" He says, winking at me
"We can read books, I'm still reading 'The Seduction by the Sea', almost finished though" I say, ignoring his flirtation
"You've been reading that since last week, it took me two days to finish that book" He says shocked 
"You didn't have someone distracting you though" I laugh
"You like when I distract you, you told me so" He winks again and I steal a strawberry from his bowl.
"Oh wow, this tastes exactly like..."
"The ones in our cafe?"
"Yes, so good"
"This is where we get them from, out here" He tells me and I steal another strawberry, "Zoey I'm going to spank you if you keep taking my strawberries" He looks at me with that cheeky smile on his face.
"Promise?" I fire back, matching his smile and grabbing another strawberry. He gets up from where he's sitting and walks around to my side of the table, standing over me.
"Stand up" He demands, I do as he asks, he puts his arms around my waist and lifts me off the ground and I wrap my legs around his torso and kiss him deeply.
"You're so cheeky Princess, I love it" He laughs as he spanks me softly
"I love you Angus" I tell him, looking into his eyes, "Ive had a lovely holiday with you"
"I love you too Zoey and it's not over yet"
"I know but I'm sad that it's ending and I'll be back at school soon and back to only seeing you properly on weekends until I graduate"
"I know baby but it's only for a few months and we can fill those weekends together having adventures" He promises but it still makes me sad thinking about it., "Smile baby, we are going to have an awesome day" He says kissing me and I smile brightly
"Shower?" I suggest
"You say shower but all I hear is sex" He teases, placing me back on my feet and I run off to start the shower. I take off my nightdress and come back out to throw it at him
"Coming?" I ask as I remove my panties, roll them into a ball and throw them at him too
"I'm enjoying the show" He says, walking towards me, stopping briefly to remove his own boxers. 

I love the shower in our hotel, it's one of those rainfall ones where the shower head is on the ceiling and the water falls into the middle of the shower. He picks me up and I wrap my legs around his torso again, he guides himself inside me and I put my arms around his neck as the warm water falls down upon us. My hips gyrate with his own movements, slow at first and then faster and faster. He arches me back slightly, placing a hand on my shoulder blade and kisses my breasts, pulls me back in close to him and kisses me deeply.
"Im going to arrive" I announce as my body reaches an exploding peak and I feel his final thrusts as he lets go inside me.
"The best part about shower sex is that you can get clean while you get dirty" He laughs and I unwrap my legs as he pulls out of me, I place my feet back on the shower floor.
"That was good" I tell him and he grabs the body wash, squeezes some onto a sponge and starts  massaging it into my skin, "You're really good at doing that"
"At?" He questions like he doesn't know what I'm referring to
"At the sex, you're good at it" 
"Really? You're not just saying that to stroke my ego?"
"You're the best I've ever had" I praise him
"Zoey, I'm the only sex you've ever had" He laughs, "But I'll take the compliment. You're really good too, you keep up with me"
"You lie" I laugh
"I never lie Zoey" He says seriously and it's true, he doesn't

The Del Sol Valley Celebrity Walk of Fame is amazing, so many famous names like Judith Ward and Dustin Dreamer. We buy a souvenir star and add Tess' name to it. I take a picture and send it to her and she calls me not even a second later
"One day that will be real" She tells me
"I know but for now you can have this one to inspire you" I tell her
"Thank you Zoey and thank Angus for me"
"I will Tess, I miss you so much, I can't wait to see you on Sunday and tell you everything"
"Miss you too"
We end our call and Angus walks me to the Plumbob Movie Theatre 
"What are we seeing my Princess?" He asks as we stand in front of the showings board
"Lost Dog's Journey Home looks good, can we see that?" I ask
"That actually looks really good" He says, "Popcorn?"
"Of course, you can't see a movie without popcorn"
We buy our tickets and snacks and head on in. The movie is awesome, it's about a dog that wanders too far from home, looking for his enemy and gets lost and has an adventure getting home.
"That movie makes me want to get a puppy" I announce when the credits roll
"That movie made me sad about my puppy" He says, sadness in his eyes
"You miss her don't you?'
"Yeah, she's a good dog, I wish I'd taken her with me" 
"Why didn't you?"
"I live in a penthouse apartment and Steph lives in a house with a big back yard so Nortica can run around and play there, it seemed more logical that Steph take Nortica but I miss my dog" He explains and I take his hand and squeeze it, not knowing what to say, "Sorry Zoey, I didn't mean to bring down movie day" He apologises.
"You have nothing to be sorry about" I assure him.

We walked back to the hotel in the afternoon, the sun blazing down on us and the heat was intense.
"Do you want to go in the spa?" Angus asks me when we walk into our room.
"Fantastic idea" I say as I change into my red bikini and walk out to the balcony, he joins me, wearing a red speedo. We climb in to the spa together and cuddle up, my legs lay across his lap.
"Where are you planing on living next year" He asks me as he runs his fingers through my hair
"Probably a dorm room"
"If you wanted to we could get an apartment together" 
"In San Mysuno?" I ask, as if there's somewhere else that has apartments
"Yeah, it's near Britechester so the commute isn't too far and I'd get to see you every day" He explains
"Could we get a place with 2 bedrooms?" I ask
"Of course but why do we need an extra room?"
"Tess and I always planned on sharing a dorm room" I tell him
"Tess can live with us baby, I know it's important to you to keep your promise to your sister plus it would give me a chance to be able to stir her up every day" He says and I kiss him passionately, running my palm down his chest and along his torso, "So is that a yes?" He asks
"It's a conditional yes" I tell him
"What's the condition?" He questions, confused 
"You have to learn how to cook" I inform him and he looks panicked, "Only basic things, nothing too in-depth...at first" I giggle
"Deal" He agrees.

"Do you want to go out for dinner or eat in?" He asks after we've dried off from our spa
"I feel like eating in tonight so we can relax on our last night here" I tell him and he grabs a room service menu
"What do you feel like gorgeous?"
"Cheeseburger and fries please" I say and he places the call through to room service, half hour later they deliver our food and we eat together at the dinning table, him with his grilled salmon and me with my cheeseburger and the fries that he keeps stealing from my plate.
"I will spank you Angus if you take another fry" I giggle at him
"Oh Zoey don't tease me"He says as he reaches out and takes another fry.
"That's it, get up" I demand, standing up and walking over to where he is, he stands up in front of me, crossing his muscly arms across his chest and stares me down
"Im waiting Zoey" He says, pretending to be stern. I raise my palm and bring it down, hard, on his ass cheek, he doesn't flinch, he just laughs
"That was cute" He smiles at me
"I was aiming for hot" I tell him disappointed, he leans down, places his hand under my chin and kisses me softly.
"I like cute" He says with a cheeky smile.
