Chapter 140

Adie: Mike & Britt and Tre & Sara both went on their honeymoon for 4 weeks. Billie suggested that we could use the time to go on our first vacation with Bella... We went to Cape Town in Africa together. Where Billie disappeared for 6 weeks. He kept telling me about how the country had helped him, and a very special older woman... "The sea is really beautiful..." Billie said while he held Bella tightly in his arms. "Yes, really nice..." I replied with a smile and looked into the sun. We were at the seaside and enjoyed a good time together... I could hardly believe that Bella was already 3 months old, she was growing way too fast... I walked carefully next to them. Billie held Bella tightly with one arm and held my hand with his other hand... I was so clumsy that he had to catch me the whole time... We romped in the water but didn't go too deep there, it was too dangerous for us with Bella... After a while, we went out and sat on the beach. Billie sat down with Bella and showed her how to make sand cakes... I loved the way he played with her, protected her and loved her dearly... He managed to make the pain of Charlie's death bearable... A part of me knew I had feelings for Billie, but I still loved Charlie...

Billie: The last 4 weeks have been just heavenly beautiful. I loved my little family. We traveled through Cape Town and spent a lot of time together. I had the feeling that our mutual love for Bella brought me and Adie closer... we kept holding hands. Or the three of us cuddled on the couch... My heart was beating like mad every time her hand touched mine... "Is she asleep yet?" She whispered. I looked over at Bella, and she was sleeping peacefully in her stroller. It was late in the evening, and we were still on the beach. "Here, take my jacket, honey, it's getting cold," I said and put it on her. She cuddled up to me, and we watched the sunset together... I looked up and couldn't stop staring at her. For a while we just sat there and looked at each other in the eyes. Her eyes shone... she was happy... after all these months of pain, she was finally happy again... I put my hand gently on her cheek and caressed it. I went a little closer and kissed her...
