A reason why I hate London at times, is the weather. It always rains in London, sometimes I wonder why I moved here in the first place....oh that's right! I married a British guy.

Speaking of British guys, I walk towards my ipad, sitting down behind my desk in the study downstairs, where I go to get some work done when the kids are at home.

I face timed Wes, praying he isn't to busy to pick up. I cross my fingers praying for him to actually pick it up, then he picks.

"Hey babe. How are things over at London?"He asks, I could see he was having a blast over at Indonesia, with all the classical music in the back ground and the laughter of rich men and women surrounding him.

"London's great,what's going on back at Indonesia?" I ask trying not to sound jealous at the fact that other men bring their wives with them to every business meeting they attend, but never him.

"Everything's great. Mr Xhan just signed the contract so we're over at the khaled restaurant celebrating!" He sounds so happy without me right now, it makes me jealous and angry. Then the thought of Ken pops into my head, then I remembered he said he'll pick me up at seven.

"How's Amethyst and Zachary?"He brings me back to reality," their good, their currently at some sleepover at a friend's place." Ken actually kept to his promise, he came back, but that doesn't give him the right to forcefully make himself present in my life, that chapter of my life is closed.

"I wish you were here right now, I miss you so much." I look at his face then smile. In so many ways Wes is so different from Ken;Wes has sandy blonde hair that's spiky at the front making him look young, while Ken has thick dark and silky hair that makes him look manly and dangerous. Wes has a pale complexion that makes him look strictly dark, while Ken has an olive complexion that gives him that sexy and mysterious look. Ken in so many ways is better than W-

"Lina! Is everything all right? "I look towards the screen embarrassed that I was comparing Ken to Wes and do you know the worst part? Ken was winning!

"Yeah sure, definitely" I smile at him " well I guess I have to go." Wes looks at me in a skeptical way.

'Lina, where are you going?" I look at him scared that he might think something's up."Oh. An old friend of mine from college invited me over for dinner" well I wasn't technically lying was I? Before Wes could say anything else I quickly cut the line, standing up from my sit I rub my temples.

What are you doing Lina? Your married and a mother of two!

I sigh, gosh I knew having Ken back would be a disaster.

Oh shut up. You love the fact that he's back.

I go upstairs to freshen up. About two hours later I was ready, I wore a white lace dress that complimented my tanned body. The dress clunged to my body like a second skin, I redid my makeup.

Why are you dressing up for him?

I really don't know why I dressed up for him but I did,so I don't really care anymore. I did it for my self confidence.

Ding Dong.

I sneaked one last look at my outfit before I headed towards the door. When I opened the door I was really shocked by what I saw at that moment in time. Ken was in a body hugging suit that showed off his perfect set of masculinity, his hair was combed to the back but still looked as though he passed his hands through them a couple of times.

I smile, I couldn't help but look at him some more. His dark navy suit fitted his olive skin perfectly, I look up at his face only to notice he was checking me out with his mouth wide open. I blush so badly I thanked God for giving me a really tanned body to hide my blush.

"May we go?" He outstretched his arms for me to hold and we walk towards his navy blue car. I feel a wave of nausea hit me when he opened the door for me, I could tell he felt my hesitation.

"Don't worry, your not cheating on your husband we're just catching up on where we left off" I look up at him and smile.

" Thankyou"

"Come on! Tell me!" I practically scream." No. That'll be cheating!" I heard him chuckling from beside me, I turn towards him staring at him. He really hadn't changed much, he was still the same guy but there was something new about him....something I just couldn't put my finger on.

"You know, if you keep staring at me I might be tempted to kiss you." He said matter-of-factly. I blush at what he just said, deciding on changing the topic I look outside the window hoping to see something to talk about.

"So um. What did you do over at Mexico?" I ask him. Looking toward his direction, I could tell he was tensed, because I literally saw his body freeze.

"Nothing much, why do ask?" He was giving me that look that says 'drop the subject', but knowing myself I wasn't going to just listen to orders." Just wanted to make sure you didn't leave me for some stupid reason." I say shrugging my shoulders like it doesn't matter.

I saw the hurt in his eyes, but immediately it came it was quickly concealed by a smirk.

"You know. You've gotten a lot tougher over the years. "He says making a turn into a deserted road. "Well, I had to. You left me no choice really". I say looking any where but at him.

I could feel him staring at my face, I didn't know it was possible to blush any more than I was right now. So I did the next best thing, you know.......changing the subject.

"You still haven't told me where we're going." I look back up At him. Noticing for the first time that he had stopped the car." Why don't you take a look for yourself?"

I look out the window, I was shocked at what I saw right now. Right infront of me was a white air plane, with gold stripes along the side and written in bold italics was the writing 'Andrews'.

I looked at him, surprised that he had taking me to look at his air plane."You know, when you take a woman of my standards to dinner. You should really consider taking her to actual dinner?" I stared at him with anger in my words. But all he did was smile.

"You were never the kind to notice when people do great things for you." He says matter-of-factly. Is he trying to say I'm dumb? I can tell you a million things that are dumb, but I am definitely not one of them.

I open my mouth to insult him when he cut me off," Come on. We're using the plane to get to dinner". With that he hops out of the car, I actually expected him to open the door for me, but when I saw him outside with an inquisitive look on his face I knew it would never happen.

************

"So where are we heading?" I ask him one last time, I mean I've been on this plane for six good hours I deserve to know where I'm going, right?

"I'm taking you to my favourite restaurant down at Mexico."I look at him perplexed, sure i love Mexican food but couldn't he just take me to some Mexican restaurant down at London?

"So what city are we going to?" If he's going to take me to some Mexican restaurant I would appreciate it if it's not some city I hate.

"How about Durango?" Durango? I've never been to Durango before, matter-of-factly I've never been to any Mexican city apart from Delicia,That was for professional purposes.I've never actually traveled to another country just to have dinner or lunch!
