A girl out of time

Twelve - Honeymoon

I woke with a start when I felt the plane touch down. Tony was next to me already wearing a hideous red Hawaiin shirt with a drink in hand. "Really? Your waring that shirt?" He looked down at his shirt then back at me, offended as I stood up. "It's my duty to be embarrassing as possible," he declared with the same look steve has after saying something stupidly patriotic.

"Yes you can embarrass me on a private island" I teased leaning over to kiss his forehead. "That sounds like a challenge." He smirked, I sighed. "Sure, come on weve landed." He nodded standing up, walking out the door dragging me behind him. He dragged me all the way until my feet hit the ground. "Welcome to Isola dei fiori!" He exclaimed with a flourish throwing his hands in the air.

I looked around there were flowers everywhere. We were currently standing on a runway with a jeep waiting about 100 meters away. Tony pulled me over to the jeep, our bags were already in the back. "Let's for this party started!" He called turning on the ignition starting the car and allowing AC/DC to explode from the speakers.

I smiled at his antics and sang along with him at full volume to the roaring music.

When we arrived at the house I jumped out of the car, looking down the long walkway. "This is beautiful!" I exclaimed as Tony came to stand next to me. "I knew you'd love it," he smiled looking down the long boardwalk leading out to the house over the clear water.

"Shall we?" He asked holding his hand out for me. I smirked grabbing it, "we shall." He grinned and we ran down the boardwalk laughing like little kids.

I doubled over laughing when we reached the front door. This is what I loved about my husband no matter how old I was he managed to make me feel young again.

"I would pick you up but I have a feeling you'd hit me if I did, so ladies first." He opened the door and he followed me in. My jaw hit the floor, the place was like a beach hut but filled up to 11. The lounge was beautiful with the wood-paneled walls and big sliding doors onto the deck overlooking the water on their east side of the house. The were chairs for relaxing and a spa on the deck as well as a small swim-up bar.

Upstairs was the same, the bedroom had a king bed with timber bedside tables and a walk-in wardrobe. The bathroom was white marble with gold accents. There was another balcony leading off the bedroom too. It was on the west side of the house with a dining set and a waterslide that curled rouned have the house before reaching the water.

I was looking out over the water on the top floor balcony when a pair of strong arms snaked around my waist. I tensed ready to pin them when I remembered there was only one other person with me. "You shouldn't do that," I said relacing back into him. "Why not you didn't flatten me this time." I chuckled, "yeh this time." I reminded him.

"I forgave you for those other times, besides who doesn't like to be set on fire by their girlfriend." I laughed "most people would tell you to break up with the nutcase who lit you on fire." I pointed out. "And me being me ignored what they said by doing the complete opposite." He kissed my neck. 

"Anyway, want to go swimming?" I turned to face him. "Alright, I-" He cut me off by picking me up and throwing me over the railing! I gasped as my head broke the surface of the water. "What the heck?" I demanded, he was too busy laughing his ass off to notice me. I huffed raising my hand above the water. 

Suddenly his laughter turned to a scream as he was lifted into the air then dropped into the ocean beside me. "You'll pay for that later." He said as he grabbed me and we both went under. 
The rest of the day we spent settling in, swimming, and just having fun. 

After all that we snuggled up on the bed inside our pillow fort to watch a movie. We watched the first Harry Potter movie because Tony was offended when I didn't understand the references he made, and what was movie night without popcorn and ice-cream?

We spent the rest of the trip together doing anything and everything we could on the island. True to his nature tony had a zipline going over the island. I wasn't completely sure how safe it was because it's all very technical but that's alright I trusted my husband.

We went snorkeling on the reef where I saw a turtle, it was beautiful and majestic. Tony also led me on a walk through the forest to the top of a waterfall where we spent hours talking and jumping off the top.

This honeymoon was exactly what I needed to make me feel young again but by the end, I was missing my kids. We packed our bags and made our way back to our plane. "Promis me we'll come back someday," I said as I took a final look at the Island before the plane took off.

"I promise," he said kissing my knuckles "and next time we'll bring the kids." I smiled, they would love it here and they wouldn't have to hide their powers.
