 Chapter 20

“Come on let’s get off this plane and get our car rental so we can get to our hotel.  I have a car already rented; just need to go and sign for it and our hotel is about 10 min from here.  I booked our hotel before we left Atlanta and I really hope you like it.”

“I’m sure I will like it.”

I couldn’t believe that Kevin just on a whim decided to take me on a trip and for it to be in the Cayman Islands, I am shocked. 

“I’ve got the car ready to go babe.”

“Yup, I am ready.”

Kevin grabbed my hand and we walked to the garage hand and hand until we came to the car that he rented, he put what few things we had in the back of the car, I got into the car and we left.

“So what have you got planned for us for tonight?”

“Well I don’t have any direct plans I thought we would play it by ear and if we saw something interesting to do then we will go from there. How does that sound sweetheart?”

“That sounds like a good plan.  We can be sort of spontaneous and not have to plan everything.  Right now I would like to take a shower and put on some cooler clothes.”

“I think that can be arranged.”

“Oh shit, Kevin we don’t have any clothes.”

“Don’t panic babe, there is a mall about 15 min away, we can go and buy a few things.”

“Kevin, I couldn’t ask you to do that.  I brought my credit card just in case so I you don’t have to do that for me I can buy my own.”

“Listen Nikki, I’m not asking you if you want me to buy you anything, I am telling you that I am buying you clothes, shoes and anything else you want or need, is that clear?  I don’t to hear another word about you buying your own things. 

“Nikki, we will be getting married and as your husband soon to be husband it is my duty to provide for you and give you everything you need and want.  I know that these last few months and I know that I haven’t been the best boyfriend/fiancée.  I have wanted to start my own firm and getting it started is a lot of work.” 

“I know it is, but could you not make time for us?”

“I guess I could have, but I didn’t want to get your hopes up and then call to cancel.  It took a minute to get everything together, but it’s finally done and now I can leave my office and do things like this without worrying about my work load being double or even triple by the time I get back.”

“So tell me about your associates you have been traveling with.”

“What do you mean, associates?”

“Oh sorry did I phrase that wrong?  I mean your flavors of the month.”

“Well Grace for one; I don’t think she would make that comment if there wasn’t a bit of truth to it.”

“Ok I admit there were a couple of women that I traveled with from time to time, but it was before us or right at the beginning of friendship.  I didn’t know what would happen between us, so I didn’t want to just assume we were dating and then you just want to be friends.”

“So did you ever stop to ask if we were going to be in a relationship or you just decided you would continue to play the field?”

Kevin closed the space between them and wrapped his arms around Nikki’s waist and leaned in to kiss her soft lips.  Reluctantly she allowed Kevin to kiss her.  He was deliberate in kissing her giving her the whole affect that he knew she couldn’t resist.  He felt her trying to close the space between them just as he pulled away from the kiss.

“I admit I didn’t handle the beginning of our relationship very good, but I am telling you right now that there are no other females in my life other than my mom, my sister, and you.  That’s why I broke it off with Grace; I wanted to be with you and only you.”

“So are we good?”

“Yeah, I guess so.”

“Nikki, I don’t want you to guess, I want you to know that I am being totally honest and upfront with you.  I love you and even those times that I was trying to build my firm and being a player, I always thought about you and how much I wanted to be with you.”

“Nikki I love you so much and I can’t see my life without you in it.  Everything I have done these last few months have been for you.  I know… I know you can take care of yourself, but that’s not what I mean."

"I mean that there would be more time for us and I don’t have to worry about whose taking care of my cases.  It’s all so simple mi amore, I want to devote so much time to you, to us and having great group of lawyers I can depend on working for me and being financially sound will give us that.”

“I don’t want to fight; I just want to enjoy our two weeks together and once we get back home, we can plan a weekend for both of our parents and family to come down and we can announce the news to them.  Is that a deal?”

I stood there with my arms wrapped around his neck, my head on his shoulder and tried to absorb what he just said to me.  I feel so ashamed, he admitted to having a fling or two when we first got together, but he ceased all of that for me.  He actually desires to build a future with me, but how can I be sure this is true?”

“What if he’s just trying to bait me into believing him; Even though I am sleeping with another man, what right I have to judge him? I know I should tell him while we are having this conversation, but I’m so embarrassed how do I tell him of my impropriety?  I guess I just have to spill it, don’t know how this is going to end, but I know it won’t be pretty.”

I was totally unaware that Kevin was talking to me because I was so wrapped up in my own thoughts to hear him.

“Nikki? Are you alright?”

“Um yeah why wouldn’t I be ok?”

“Well I am standing here asking you a question, and you’re just standing here with your head on my shoulder a thousand miles away.”

“I’m sorry I was just thinking about what you said and I am scared of making a mistake because of my insecurity about us."

"I have something I need to tell you; promise you won’t lose your cool or be angry at me.  Since we were discussing some things I thought it best to go ahead and face the music.”

“Let’s sit down, first let me say this.  We have been together for six years now and lately I starting to feel like you was so distant from me.  I didn’t have you around and you would come only if you had time for me or so I thought.  All I could think was that you put more into your job just so you didn’t have to spend time with me.”

“But b…ba…”

I lifted my fingers to his lips to quiet him, I had to get it all out or I would never tell him.

“Kevin, just let me tell you, you don’t have to say anything I heard you loud and clear that’s why this is so important that I tell you before I lose my nerve.”

I held my breath phew; here goes nothing.
