Starting Over

Chapter 32- Backed Against A Wall

“What do you want to do tonight?” I asked as I came out of the bathroom in only a towel.

“I think Brit and I have plans,” Jason laughed, “I guess Bridge didn’t inform you she was leaving.”

“Ya think?” I asked rhetorically.

“Brit and Bridge went to pick something up at the main house,” Jason informed me.

“What are they picking up?” I asked him from the bedroom as I dressed.

“Suitcases,” Jason replied.

“Who’s suitcases?” I questioned.

“Yours and hers,” Jason answered me, “Bridget didn’t want you to know you were going on a week-long trip so she shipped your suitcases here.”

“So I have more clothes than just jeans and boots!” I said in excitement, “I was really thinking I was going to have to buy some clothes.”

“She’s got you covered,” Jason laughed as I came out of the bedroom, “What the hell are you wearing?”

“It was in my suitcase,” I told him curious myself of my attire.

“When ya’ll overslept Bridget just threw everything in whatever suitcase she could cram it in. Luke, I believe you are wearing Bridget’s shirt,” Jason informed me.

“That explains why it’s so tight,” I said as I wiggled around.

“Luke! Why are you wearing my shirt?” Bridget questioned me while laughing as she walked through the door.

“It was in my suitcase, but don’t I look so pretty?” I asked as I struck a pose.

“Get my shirt off before you stretch it out!” Bridget yelled at me.

 I pulled the shirt over my head and handed it to her, “Here.”

“This is yours,” Brittany said as she handed me a suitcase.

I went into the other room and changed into much more weather appropriate clothes. When I came back out Jason and Brittany were gone.

“Where did they go?” I asked Bridget before kissing her.

“Their villa I believe. We are meeting them for dinner later at the bar up the way,” Bridget answered me, “You want to go swimming?”

“Let’s go,” I exclaimed.

“Let me change first,” Bridget said as she walked into our room.

I followed her. I sat on the bed as I watched her change into her pink bikini that showed off the lovely bump our little peanut has created on her belly. I couldn’t help but smile. She was just absolutely gorgeous. How I possibly was loved so much by someone so perfect was beyond my wildest dreams. The things this woman does for me is amazing. It takes a special kind of woman to deal with a schedule as rigorous as mine. She will jump on a plane at a moments notice with all of our kids in tow just to make me feel just a little less homesick. But she pulls off such amazing things behind my back, like this trip, that just make me love her even more.

“What are you thinking about?” Bridget asked me breaking me from my thoughts.

“You and how lucky I am,” I smiled as I pulled her towards me.

“I’m the lucky one,” Bridget said as she leaned down and kissed me.

“So, you ready to hit the beach?” I asked her breaking our kiss.

“Why go to the beach when we have our own private ocean?” Bridget asked me before taking off running to the private deck off the backside of our villa.
