A Second Chance at love

Chapter 52: A time to heal(part 2)

I sat my bag down on the desk and continued to look around the room- I noticed soft music was playing as well. I grew concerned that I was in the wrong room, and grabbed my bag and high tailed it down to the front desk.

I had to wait several minutes as the desk was busy, when it was my turn I asked the gal if she could double check if I was given the right room key after my room had been switched as I was certain the room they gave me the key for was being used by someone else. She punched my info into the computer and said, "let's see here.... room 1129....honeymoon suite, Christina Knight- you've got the key to the right room." she told me.

"I don't understand" I said totally confused my friend had emergency so she had to leave why would a single person be given a honeymoon suite?" she glanced at my hand and said sorta snottily "well, you are married - do I need to draw you a map?"

"my other half is at home this was supposed to be a girls week vacation- but that got totally messed up--I really don't need a whole suite to myself" I said.

"there is nothing more we can do tonight she said scowling at the pc and flipping it the bird-- our system just crashed-just stay in the room tonight if you decide you still don't want it in the morning we'll see what we can do."

"ok..thanks" I said glumly as I walked away. Once upstairs I headed back to the room and went in and locked the door behind me and sat my stuff down. I walked over to the hot tub and checked the water- it was nice and warm.

I headed into the bathroom just as I heard a knock at the door-I turned and walked back to the door thinking it might be Mariah.. I looked out and saw no one and started to walk away again when I notice a piece of paper had been slipped under the door.

I picked it up and flipped it over it was totally blank except for one word-- LOVE. For some reason, I couldn't help but smile. I felt the smile leave my face seconds later when I heard footsteps behind me coming closer and closer.

I panicked and spun around quickly and came face to face with........Jon! I was totally surprised and no words would come out of my mouth (which I'm sure was hanging wide open) he came a few steps closer and drew me close to him for an amazing hug.

"I bet you thought I'd forgotten" he said quietly as he kissed the top of my head. "I'll never forget how beautiful you looked 6 years ago today as we pledged our love to each other forever." he added.

I looked up and saw tears in his beautiful hazel eyes as he went on "its also been one hell of a year this past year, and we've been trying to work things out for the last 3 months." "I've done a lot of soul searching and praying" he added "and I realized that I can't for one single second imagine my life without you in it."

"Chrissy-you have always been and will always be the only woman for me-the ring you wear is a symbol of my never ending love for you.. I love you and I want us to be together..forever." he said as he tipped my head up ever so gently as he lowered his and kissed me for the first time in 8 months-it felt wonderful!!

When we finally broke for air, I made sure the door was locked, and put the bottled water and chocolate in the fridge.

"I take it you got that big house project finished you were working on" I said as I dug through my bag and headed to the bathroom to change into my bikini. Jon was already in the hot tub when I came back out. He took me by the hand and carefully helped me into the hot tub.

"you didn't answer my question" I said softly "we can talk about my work later" he said swallowing hard. "right now I just want to focus on us"

I smiled as he drew me close to him and I rested my head against his chest- his heart was beating very fast. "are you nervous?" I asked him raising my head to look into his eyes.
