The Beginning: The First Book

Chapter 18: Days in Paradise

*This chapter is a mixture between a journal entry and a normal chapter. Hope you all enjoy it*

Feb 15

Today started off with a nice sleep in. I woke up to the sound of birds chattering and to the sound of the waves crashing instead of the snarl of motorbikes or the neighbour's dog barking at a squirrel or something.

"Good morning sexy!" cries Wyatt as the door swings open and out he pops, holding a stable-table. I sit up and drag the blankets over my bare skin so that the warmth is contained between the blankets and my body.

"Mmm waffles" I sniff. My favourite!!! Wyatt hands over the stable-table and then grabs something from behind it.

"Now eat up. I've planned something very exciting for the two of us" cheers Wyatt.

He then sits down besides me and looks straight into my eyes. "This is a commitment to you, Ivy. My commitment in this marriage and to you is brought to you by this pebble. When ever you feel down, or think I'm doing something that's not for the better of us, then this pebble shall remind you that I'm all yours and only yours".

I place the stable-table on the table and take the pebble to stare at it. It's a mysterious pebble with different shades of different colours within it and a big swirly white line that goes right around. "Hey! You went to the beach without me?" I grumble.

"Seriously?" says Wyatt.

"What?" I ask I'm confusion.

"After all that I just said" he continues.

"Mmmh" I answer.

"When I went outside to empty the bins, I found it glistening in the sun. As soon as I saw it, I could see it, matching your eyes. It straight away remind me of your eyes, the colour, it's just magical" answers Wyatt.

"Thank you" I say grinning, leaning towards him. Our lips automatically lock into place. It's like they're taking control of what comes next. Wyatt moves his hands from in my hair to around my neck to around my waist. I slowly lean backwards so that I can place the pebble on the table, but after I do that, I don't stop until I fall onto the feathery pillow and it doesn't stop there. And now we're back to the first part, making love. "Wyatt, Wyatt" I say trying to pause this unforgettable moment.

Wyatt however keeps going, moving his lips from my lips to instead my warm ticklish neck. He then falls back onto his own pillow and gives a little chuckle while looking at the ceiling. He roles over to his side to face me as I'm already looking at him. He runs through my dark brown wavy hair and answers."Mm yes?"

"Aren't we gonna be late for the surprise you planned for me?" I question.

"No. No. It can wait. I'd rather spend time with you in this bed. Doing what we love" whispers Wyatt into my ear. We resume to our places like we never stopped. Hands running in all directions, bodies colliding and non-stop kissing.

Wyatt covers my eyes as we walk steadly along a extremely narrow, rocky pathway. We head through what seems to be a short tunnel or cave until we finally stop. "You ready?" He questions in excitement.

"I was born ready" I proclaim. Wyatt slowly removes his hands from my eyes and I can slowly see the picture.

"Ta-daaa!" He cries. Snorkelling the sea in Bora Bora. What a treat! "You like it?".

"Like it? I love it!" I jump running and jumping into his arms. A wide smile forms across Wyatt's face as he kisses my ear.

An hour and 30 minutes later, Wyatt and I are properly trained and suited up to swim in the heart of Bora Bora. Our instructor: Dan Michael, also comes with us.

"You guys ready for some beauty?" He asks us as we stand at the foot of the sea. I nod while looking and Wyatt. He however gives a thumbs up. "And don't forget, if you have any concerns or you want to ask me something, just do the hand gestures that we practiced in the pool. Alright?"

"Sure" replies Wyatt.

We scubber-dive for just over 2 hours. The beauty that Mother Nature can create is splendid. Colourful sea creatures roaming the corals while the green seed weed dances along the ground. Dan takes several photos of Wyatt and I as we discover our surrounding.

The first night in Bora Bora is surprising very chilly. Wyatt and I stay indoors to keep warm. This time it's my turn to do the cooking. I whip up one of my classics: Toad in a Hole. It's when you cut out a circle in the middle of a toasted slice of bread. You butter both sides of the bread and you chuck it on a frying pan with your cut of piece of toast (also smudged with butter on both sides). You crack an egg in the hole and then wait until the egg is properly fried. Then wa-lah! You've just made a classic Ivy Forrester Toad in a Hole.

"Honey you like it?" I question wiping Wyatt's cheek as it is covered in egg.

"Huh?" Says Wyatt still munching his half eaten Toad in a Hole.

"Do you like it?" I repeat saying every word slower and slower.

"Oh yeah. Great job sexy" kisses Wyatt as he attempts to kiss me with greasy lips but I push him away.

"So my name is now "sexy" huh?" I flirt.

"Only if you kiss me it is" challenges Wyatt.

"With those greasy lips? No way; greasy" I continue.

Wyatt places his finished plate on the table. He then starts to slowly creep towards me. "Wyatt. Wyatt! Wyatt! Don't you dare... Aaaaaaahhhhh!" I scream jumping over tables and chairs while running around the room trying to get away from Wyatt.

I sprint around in circles but Wyatt is rapidly closing the gap. Finally he grabs my arm and turns me around. He smudges his greasy lips all over my clean non-greasy lips and now we are Mr and Mrs Greasy. We break apart and I have just thought of a way to get him back. "Ivy. What ever your thinking. Stop thinking it" hesitates Wyatt backing away slowly.

I run towards the freezer and grab the can of whip cream. "I-v-v-v-y!" Yells Wyatt as he sprints away from me.

Wyatt follows my foot steps, jumping over chairs and tables. Luckily he trips over one of the bar stool legs and falls right on his back. I finally catch up to him and crawl on top of him. "Aaaaah!" He cries as I spray whip cream all over his face. He smudges whip cream all over the palm of his hand before wiping it all over my face. I drop the can and passionately start kissing my adorable husband. He starts unbuttoning my t-shirt and now we're doing it on the floor of our hotel while the fire placing is raging.

Feb 16

"Awwww" I pout looking at Douglas on my phone.

"Say bye-bye now" ends Caroline as she waves Douglas' hand.

"Bye-bye Douglas" I end hanging up the video chat.

"Who was that?" Questions Wyatt as he enters the bedroom.

"Just Caroline and Douglas. He's grown so much and that chubby little face. Aaaah! I want one" I answer.

"Soon we'll have our own little feet running around the house calling us mommy and daddy" giggles Wyatt.

"Mmm. I cannot wait for that day. So, what do you have planned for us today Mr Spencer?" I question intriguing to know the answer.

"All in good time my love. All in good time" he replies.

Wyatt ended up planning a safari to the mountains to see some WWII remnants. It's was very interesting as we got to see pictures of soldiers and their setting, and read actual personal journals/diaries. It was then followed by a stunning Polynesian lunch on a motu. The food was to cooked to perfection; plus, we had an epic scenery of the mountains we had just climbed. But out of all, I got to experience the best scenery of all: my handsome, talented, adorable, sexy husband that kept doing exactly what I needed/wanted without being asked.

Sadly this honeymoon came to an end. Wyatt and I had to return to the normal world with work, stress and a monster-mother-in-law; and we had to leave behind the calm cool island of Bora Bora. Luckily though, we have photos, videos and memories that we created that will last a life time.
