A Pinch of Kerry

Paradise Over

[Croatia]

We were trying to pack because our trip was coming to an end. We had an amazing time. This trip really was a blessing in disguise. It brought all of us closer. We saw the beautiful island and just basked in it. MaRue and I exchanged glances from time to time. I think it was just because of how attractive he was. I don't think it was because I secretly liked him. I was packing in my room and Kel strolled in.

"Girl look! I have enough shampoo, conditioner, face wash, coffee, soap, and mouth wash to last me for years!" She said excited.

"Girl......" I rolled my eyes.

"Im about to see if the girls want theirs!" She ran out of the room.

"She's such a mess." I mumbled to myself.

"She is...." MaRue said as he entered.

"Hey. I'm gonna miss you." I said.

"Miss me? Or the midnight snacks?"

"The midnight snacks," I laughed.

"Ms. Blue-.."

"Kerry." I corrected.

"Kerry," he smiled. "I have a question."

"Yes?"

"Are you an heirest?" He asked.

I was confused, "Somewhat. Why?"

"I just figured."

"How do you "figure" someone is an heirest? You think I'm arrogant?" I said a bit offended.

"Well.....I wouldn't say that." He shrugged.

"Well, what are you saying?"

"Its okay to like the finer things in life. You could be a little more polite, though." He joked.

"Excuse me?" I raised my eyebrows.

"No offense." He put his hands up.

"No offense? You just called me rude AND arrogant. I take that as an offense."

He stepped closer to me, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean for it to come out like that."

"You thought it," I kept packing.

"I was joking about the polite thing, and I figured this trip was expensive. You look independent, but not a business woman. You don't wear suits and tailored blazers."

"Oh thanks. That makes me feel better." I folded more.

He grabbed my arms and intertwined our fingers. He took the clothes out of my hands and placed them on the bags.

"Don't be like that," he whispered on my neck.

I wanted to have him so bad.

"I-I can't...." I mumbled.

"Why not?" He rubbed me softly.

I hadn't had any in a while, but I don't want to be desperate.

"Kerr!" Di hollered up.

I pulled away, "yeah?"

"The girls and I are going to check out. Be done by the time we get back!" She yelled.

"If I'm not?" I screamed back.

"You gettin left!" Kel interrupted.

They left in a hurry. Great. Now I'm alone with him.

"So....." He walked towards me.

I backed up, "I don't know....."

"Hold on." I put my hand up.
