Nothing Better Than Us.

11.

Here we go again!

Wrapped in each other's arms, enjoying every single minute we had together and not having to explain anything to anyone. Or having to pretend that we were not in love with each other.

"Are you sure about this?" I looked up at David who just kissed my forehead.

"I'll just talk to Candice and tell her the truth" He said it so calmly yet it sent shivers down my spine. Candice was probably planning her dream wedding and telling her friends all about the future she has with David. This was like high school all over again but this time, he was actually engaged to the other girl. "Dont worry about it. Just trust me Riley. Everything will work out." He kissed my forehead again.

"What about Kenny? I dont even know how she is going to react to this" I sighed yet hugged him closer to me. "Her personality is so big. I have no idea what she will say. What if she reacts the very same way her grandmother did?".

"I am absolutely sure she won't react that way. Want to tell her now?" I pulled away from him. But he was smiling at me.

"Are you crazy? We are having some really memorable moments on this plane but we are not doing that here" I pointed at him and I just realized how spacious this bathroom actually is. "Besides, we still need to walk out of here as if nothing happened".

David shook his head as he walked towards me and pulled me to him. "Always overthinking. I just want you to relax and leave everything to me. We'll break the news to Kenny before anyone else" He placed another kiss on my forehead then my nose and finally our lips met again. His fingers made their way into my hair and he pulled my head back alittle as he deepened our kiss. His tongue against mine before it took over as it explored my mouth. He pulled my tongue between his lips and his other hand gripped my chin as he held me in place.
I released a soft moan as he placed his leg between my thighs. He released his hold on my chin and his lips placed small kisses along my neck.

"We need to go check on our very adventurous daughter" I opened my eyes. He pulled me into another hug as he sighed.

"Thank you for giving me another chance" He hugged me tighter. "I wouldn't let you go this time. No matter what" He eased away from me and placed another kiss on my forehead before we finally decided to leave the bathroom together.

As we walked back to the seats, Kenny was still sitting where we left her but she was eating and watching a different movie. "Mommy". She smiled at me with a grape in her hand. "Miss Sofia said that its going to take us 4 hours to get to the house. What are we going to do for 4 hours?".

I looked up at David who stood beside me with his hands in his pocket. Then turned my attention back to Kenny who was looking at both of us. "Hunny, we can...."

"Kenny, I have a surprise for you" David spoke up and Kenny's eyes lit up. David disappeared towards the back of the plane and carry back with white box in his hand. He glanced at me first as he placed the box in front of Kenny. "I was going to give it to you when we get to the house but I figured you can start taking some pictures while we are up here".

"A phone!?" Kenny and I said at the same time. She was already opening up the box as I glared at David. "Mommy, it's a phone".

"A horse and now a phone" I walked closer to both of them. "What's next her own plane?" I looked at him.

"If I keep winning then why not" He chuckled.

*********

If the private jet was not enough to make me stop and stare. The mansion standing in front of me was. After getting out the car that picked up us from the airport. I just stood there admiring the house. There were no neighbouring house insight. This huge mansion just sat out here by itself. I could see what could be a forest in the far back. It was already evening time, but I could still hear the birds singing.

"You live here by yourself?" I looked at David who stood there looking at me. There was this satisfied look on his face as if my expression was exactly the one he hoped for. "Why is your house this big? What about a penthouse?"

"I got my first child when I was 19 years old." And as if that child got a signal. Kenny came running towards us almost bouncing off the ground. The smile on David's face could not get any bigger as he looked at Kenny.

"Can we go and see the horses or do I have to do something else first?" Of course the second question was directed to me. I was the strict parent who made sure she did everything before going to have fun.

"Let's see the horses first" Her eyes widened at my response and that's when she ran off to my left. "Kenny wait on us!" I shouted but she was already way ahead.

I sighed but there was a sudden warmth on my hand. I looked down and David had interlocked his fingers with mine as he held my hand.

"The stable is that way" I didnt pull my hand away as he led me in the direction that Kenny went.

"Arent your employees going to find it weird that you are holding my hand?" There was a man taking our stuff from the car. There was the driver that picked us up. There was Sofia who wasn't just the flight attendant but Kenny's nanny whenever she was here. And I am pretty sure there were other people inside the house too.

"They might but they did sign a non-disclosure contract" He chuckled alittle and his grip on my hand tightened alittle. "Riley, just let me worry about everything. Just enjoy yourself. Nothing is going to happen" We finally came to a stop and there was a stable insight. Kenny was standing there with an older gentleman dressed in overalls and with stains on his shirt. They were chatting about something until a black horse head emerged from the stable. "Imagine what our lives would have been if I didnt let you go years ago".

I looked at David who was smiling in Kenny's direction. I looked at where our hands held each other before placing my other hand over it. David looked down at me and I smiled at him. "Its all behind us now".

"Mommy, it's a boy! Uncle David got me a boy horse! What should I name...." I didnt pull my hand away fast enough and David was not helping. I looked around at Kenny as she looked at both of us. She wasn't smiling nor did she look upset. There was just a blank expression on her face.

"David, let go" I whispered but his grip on my hand never loosened.

"McKenzie, there is surprise in the pool area for you" That was Miss Sofia's voice as she approached Kenny from what could be considered the back of the house.

I have never seen Kenny nod before. But she did just that before running off with Miss Sofia. What was that unreadable expression on her face?

"How long has...." I turned my attention back to David.

"Has she known Sofia?" David smiled at me before we started walking in the direction Kenny went with Sofia. "Ever since I realized I got to keep Kenny longer and you weren't going to come here". My eyes widened at the realization. He probably had training, appearances, games or whatever else he did.

"Why didn't you say something before I sent her to you" We stopped walking but we weren't near to anyone. We were standing in a small garden. It was beautiful and refreshing to be in and to see the flower dress the wind that passed by them.

"One, you didnt want to speak to me for more than five minutes unless it was about Kenny and I would never complain about the time I spent with her. I was just happy she was here" He released his hold on my hand and proceeded to let his hair down. Before his blue eyes fell on me again. "She knows everyone here, everyone here had to sign an NDA before they met her. The only one who doesnt know she is my daughter is her" He smiled at me and I took a deep breath as his hand caressed my cheek. "Just believe me that everything is going to be okay. I enjoy seeing her extremely happy and I want the same for you" I sighed as he placed a kiss on my forehead.
