It's now August, and we are in the middle of a heatwave, which is great with a grizzly one year old. It's been great to spend all my time with her though. Lucas and I have managed to get some extra time off work too, so Lucas and I are taking Amelie on her first proper holiday to Atlantic City. Then Maya, Uncle Josh and Farkle are going to meet us there and spend some of the time with us. Enid isn't coming because she is away to have the baby. Farkle was with her for a while as she settled in, she decided to live over there for about a month until she gave birth and then is coming straight home. She didn't want anything to do with the baby and honestly, I don't blame her. The new parents of the child are aware of the situation.
"Riley, babe! We've got to go!" I hear Lucas call distracting me from my thoughts.
"Okay I'm coming! Have you got everything for Amelie?"
"Yes baby! Are you okay to grab our suitcase?"
"Yep. Anything else?"
"No I don't think so."
"Okay." I say and heave our large suitcase out into the living room, where Lucas is standing with Amelie in her stroller by the front door.
"Ready?" I smile.
"Definitely." He replies, and we swap bags, so I take the lighter one.

*in Atlantic City*

When we arrive at the hotel, we immediately check into our room and set up Amelie's travel crib as she is really tired, we put her down and use some of the free time to unpack.
"Okay, Riles we are all unpacked." Lucas says, in relief as he takes of his shirt because of the heat, thank god for heat, he has the best body. "Let's have some fun." He continues, as he begins to suck a soft spot on my collarbone area, from behind me.
"What if Amelie wakes up?" I turn around to face him.
"Babe. She hasn't slept since early this morning, it's afternoon, I doubt she'll have a short nap." He sucks a soft spot on my neck this time. I give in and kiss him passionately, moving the kisses down from his lips to his neck, then his shoulders. He gently removes my clothes, and undergarments and as my kisses creep lower down his body I yank off his shorts and boxers and apply protection. He launches me onto the bed and begin.

"We haven't done that in ages." Lucas says still out of breath.
"I know. And Amelie is still asleep."
"I love you Riley Matthews." Lucas says, fiddling with my engagement ring.
"I love you too Lucas Friar."
"I can't wait for you to be Riley Friar."
"Me neither."
"When does everyone else arrive?"
"In three days, for four days then we go back to New York together."
"Okay. One night when they are all here I'm taking you out, all day all night. That okay?"
"That sounds amazing."
"Good. It's been planned since we booked the trip."
"You're the greatest, you know?"
"I know."
"This is going to be an amazing holiday."
"I agree."
"Okay, well I'm all tired out thanks to you, so I'll else up when Amelie does. G'night Lucas."
"Sleep tight darling."
He kisses me and I fall asleep, entangled in the love of my life.
