13. Beach Couple

The morning light was shining through the window. I was snuggling closer to him. "Sun, window, too bright, my eyes." He chuckled, but then got up and close the curtain. I sighed and slumped back to the luscious pillows.

"This is good Alex, I definitely need this. Thanks, baby."

He was pulling me to his chest. "Now that we've done the sexy. You want to do an old couple thing, walking on the beach and shop all day?"

"Later Alex, I'm still dying from last night. Just hold me, and let me hibernate. I need my strength back."

"Wait, I'm going to make us some coffee and see if I can get our breakfast to be delivered from the inn that we visited last night." He kissed my cheek and pulled the cover, while he got up, showing me his sexy backside as he walks out of the room.

Mmm... I really needed this weekend. I thought to myself and drifted off to sleep again.

The smell of grilled cheese woke me up. He was bringing breakfast to our bed, in his boxers.

Damn. Lucky boxers.

I stretched my body lazily. Bringing down the covers to my waist, making him groaned.

"Adriana, you need to get up. We're having breakfast. I'm giving you seconds here. If not, I will have you for breakfast. Literally." He was whispering sexily in my ear.

"I'm up, I'm up! Give me five minutes in the bathroom then we're having breakfast." I got up and go to the bathroom and do my morning stuff.

I was wearing a new dress that we bought yesterday. I was playing it safe. I was still a bit sore from last night. He was smirking looking at me fully dressed already.

"You know, that will not keep me from fucking you right?" He grabbed my waist and put me on his lap. I was giggling in no time.

"Alex! I'm still sore baby. I need that couple thing today, we will see about fulfilling your appetite later on tonight." He finally let me go, with the promise of tonight.

We finished our breakfast then continue on or walking on the beach and shop around the region. The weather was nice. We had lunch at the beachfront cafe, and we even shared ice cream for our dessert. The sky was getting dark, it looked like there was a storm coming in. Few shops were closed early, some of the locals advised us to stay indoors and stay tuned to the radio.

So Alex and I quickly get back to our cottage, we decided to huddle up and make ourselves cozy and waited for the storm to pass.

The thunder and lightning made me jumped, Alex hug me. "It's okay baby I'm here. Do you want to use headphones? For your trauma?" He rubbed my arm and kissed my cheek.

"Do they have any liquor? I just need to relax."

"I'm not leaving you, come let's hunt down some whiskeys." He grabbed my hand and put in on his arm. I saw the lightning before hearing the thunderous sound. He quickly put my head on his chest and closes off my ears with both of his hands. All I could hear were the steady beats of his heart. I took in his warmth and put my arms around his back and inhale his scent.

Careful there Adriana. You don't want him to end up like daddy dearest.

But at that moment I just needed him. Or maybe that too was just an excuse.

Then I felt him kissing the top of my head. "Come, it's gone let's continue our excursion and find the liquor cabinet and have some real fun."

He was trying to cheer me up. I was smiling at his words and follow him, we finally reached the liquor cabinet. He started pouring the drinks, and give me a glass. "Slowly Addie, we have all night." By the fourth glass, I was telling him my life story. I didn't know how, but I was so comfortable with him, that I just keep on opening up to him.

Not good. Definitely bad.

"Come, Adriana, let's continue this on the bed, It's getting late you're getting tired." He carried me to the bed.

"Alex, I still want to drink." I frowned at him, a bit disappointed that I was sent to bed like a naughty little girl.

"Baby, I'm getting the drinks after this okay, no more pouting." He kissed me hard and letting me go seconds later.

He was back with our drinks and our snacks. Then lightning crosses the windows, he quickly shut the curtains and held me close to his chest.

"Alex, I'm loving your smell baby, and your warmth, but I think I'm drunk enough not get affected by the thunderous sounds." He smiled and let go of my body.

"Then you can rest in my embrace. I like feeling your body against mine, baby. You fit like a glove." He pulled me into his hug. I was crossing my leg to his and hugging him back.

"I miss my dad. He was taken from me too soon. I hated my mom for doing so, but it's not until years later I discovered her medical condition hidden in one of dad's vault in his office." I sighed and held him tighter.

He didn't say anything, he just listened to my story.

"She had schizophrenia, dad treated her to the best doctors, hospitals, even institution. But she kept on coming back, and dad loved her too much to keep her institutionalized. He let her drink. I never asked questions, I just assumed that she's an alcoholic and that she manipulated dad into keeping her." I started crying but he keeps hugging me close and stroked my hair.

"That's why I don't do relationship Alex, I'm not looking for my happy endings. There would be no happiness in my old age. It's hereditary and I'm not going to put my partner in the same position as my dad's, I'm not even considering any kids."

"Sshh...baby, I got you. Just relax okay, I'll take care of you. No happy endings, I got you, Addie. Just go to sleep now okay? The storm had almost passed." He took my glass and put it aside, he pulled the cover to my waist and laid my head back to his chest.

He kissed the top of my head and whispered good night. I must've been dreaming because I thought I heard him said. "I love you, Addie, now go to sleep."

But my eyes were too heavy, and I was too drunk to care, I just drifted off to sleep.
