Fated match, is that how we will describe our relationship one day? Does fate really bring two people together? I believe that if it was not for the intervention of another that some people would never meet. Push them into the same direction, making the connection inevitable, then you have almost certainly made that match.
Skye ~ is absolutely determined to make that match for Brody happen. We were set to go to the cabin this weekend but due to unexpected renovations, our plans had to be cancelled. Instead we are going to my holiday home down to the coast.
She is beyond excited, not only to get away but for Brody and his date. This morning is like a rollercoaster around our home, yes as per always I have not packed and she is running around to get it done before the other’s get here.
Skye ~”Baby I swear if you do not get out of my way then I am going to strangle you.”
Damon ~”Baby I am trying to help.”
Skye ~”Explain to me how just standing there is helping me?”
Damon ~”I am checking that you are packing the right stuff.”
Skye ~”Why don’t your right stuff get into that shower and get ready before the guys get here.”
Damon ~”You are very bossy this morning.”
Skye ~”I know you like it so don’t even bother finishing that sentence.”
Damon ~”Do we have a few minutes?”
Skye ~”Unless you can do it in five minutes, then the answer is no.”
Damon ~”I know you want to, you just playing hard to get.”
Skye ~”So is this suitcase of yours that is finding it hard to get itself filled.”
Damon ~”Just throw everything that is in that draw in there.”
Skye ~”Damon, throw that ass of yours into that shower.”
Damon ~”Yes baby.”
After taking the longest shower ever, just long enough so I don’t have to do the packing with her. I finish up shaving and getting dressed. After taking my sweet time, I make my way downstairs. I know she is so going to strangle me to death.
When I get downstairs, the guys have already arrived.
Skye ~”I did not think you were that dirty?”
Damon ~”Why do you say that baby?”
Skye ~”You were in there for a half an hour and you are still not evencompletely dressed.”
Damon ~”I was trying to make myself look good for you.”
Brody ~”Bro, you are going to have go back and try harder.”
Damon ~”Your ass, I look better than you. How you going to impress this girl if you look so shitty like that?”
Mason ~”I told him if she ditches him then I would take her.”
Amber ~”And I told you that I will drown you in the ocean for that.”
Skye ~”I can guarantee you she will.”
Damon ~”Does this thing run in the family?”
Skye ~”What thing?”
Damon ~”This drowning and strangling thing.”
Skye ~”It only runs if you guys piss us off.”
Damon ~”So Brody where is your date?”
Brody ~”She is outside on the phone with her mom.”
Damon ~”So what do think? Is this thing going to work?”
Brody ~”I can’t say yet, but I really like her.”
Just as he finishes his thoughts, she comes into the kitchen. She is really a pretty girl, okay girls in our class has to be gorgeous and she definitely is that. We all went out for dinner last night and got to know her better, she is really a nice girl.
Mystery Girl ~”Hey guys.”
Damon ~”Hey.”
Skye ~”How you this morning?”
Mystery Girl ~”I am great, maybe had one too many glasses of wine last night but I’m good.”
Damon ~”Did you at least get that assignment thing done?”
Mystery Girl ~”Got it in this morning”
Damon ~”Are we ready to get going?”
Mason ~”Yup, the cars are all packed.”
Damon ~”Then what are you waiting for? Skye is not getting any younger.”
Skye ~”Damon.”
Damon ~”Yes baby?”
Skye ~”I hope that place has four rooms because you are sleeping in the fourth.”
Damon ~”It has five and they are all taken.”
Skye ~”I don’t think that you can count.”
Damon ~”There is nothing wrong with my math skills.”
Skye ~”Then who is sleeping in the fifth room?”
Damon ~”That is a surprise.”
Skye ~”Damon.”
Damon ~”Yes baby?”
Skye ~”You are up to no good aren’t you?”
Damon ~”No baby, not at all.”
Brody ~”You two can argue in the car, let’s go.”
We all pile into the SUV. Mason sits in front with Brody while Skye and I sit at the very back and the other girls in the middle.
Skye is desperately trying to drag it out of me who the guests are and I am just not budging at all. Now I know that you might think it is Tajsa especially after I slipped her that note but not even I would be so stupid to do something like that. And no of course it won’t be Joelle, I am not that sick either.
I reckon some fresh new faces, would be better than Brody’s board games but I believe I saw them when Mason ~ was loading the car. This time there ain’t going to be any truth or dare. The truth is that I don’t want to lose my baby girl again.
Damon ~”So…”
I am speaking to Brody’s girl.
Damon ~”What do you think of this asshole?”
Mystery Girl ~”Well after last night, I finally believe that none of this shit they say about him is real.”
Damon ~”None of it?”
Mystery Girl ~”Okay only some of it.”
Damon ~”But you still like him though?”
Mystery Girl ~”Yes, I think he is nice.”
Damon ~”You know that my grandmother is nice too.”
Mystery Girl ~”Okay, he is hot as fuck.”
Damon ~”Only fuck.”
Skye ~”And what is supposed to be hotter as fuck?”
Damon ~”I don’t know.”
Skye ~”So you just making up a sentence?”
Damon ~”I am making up conversation.”
Skye ~”And your idea of conversation is two ask the poor girl twenty questions?”
Damon ~”It is not twenty, I am only at three.”
Skye ~”You are a real clever ass this morning.”
Damon ~”Yes because a certain someone did not want to fuck my brains out this morning.”
Skye ~”Damon!”
Brody ~”We so did not want to hear that.”
Amber ~”Yes, my sister’s sex life is the last thing I want to hear about.”
Damon ~”It is not like you are not going to hear us this weekend.”
Skye ~”Damon keep your mouth shut.”
Amber ~”Yes just shut up.”
Mason ~”Shut your mouth before Amber does it for you.”
Damon ~”Ok I will change the subject then.”
Skye ~”Why don’t you just keep quiet for the next few hours?”
Damon ~”You know I can do that, you can be glad that I am sitting still.”
I do really try keep quiet for the next couple of hours but unfortunately it is just not going to happen. I mean, how can you not say a word for two hours. We need to get to know this girl and she needs to get to know Brody, what better way than getting to know his brother. I can tell her all the things she wants to know, the things he won’t tell her. So far our matchmaking skills are not working.
Damon ~”So do you think Brody is the type of guy you can see yourself dating?”
Mystery Girl ~”Well define dating, because I think for your boys it means something different.”
Damon ~”Skye and I are dating.”
Mystery Girl ~”Ok, so you have settled down?”
Damon ~”Yes we are living together.”
Mystery Girl ~”That is not what I mean.”
Damon ~”I don’t understand what your meaning of settling down is?”
Mystery Girl ~”Are you ready to get married and have children?”
Damon ~”Oh I see what you mean.”
Mystery Girl ~”So are you then?”
Damon ~”I wonder who is asking the twenty questions now. Are you ready?”
Mystery Girl ~”I see what you doing there. I think I can settle down one day.”
Damon ~”How soon do you think one day will be?”
Mystery Girl ~”As soon as I meet the right man.”
Damon ~”Is Brody not the right man?”
Mystery Girl ~”I think it is maybe a bit too early to say that.”
We finally arrive at the beach house. I use to come up here with girls we met at the club for weekend parties, never as a bunch of couples like we doing now. It is the perfect place for falling in love.
We all get out the car, stretching out our legs and just admiring the beauty around us.
Skye ~”Baby this is gorgeous.”
Amber ~”It is amazing, I could so easily live here.”
Mason ~”Be like one permanent holiday.”
Brody ~”I don’t think so much, I think I would miss the city.”
Mystery Girl ~”I have to agree with you there. This is perfect for landscapes but I think I will get restless.”
Damon ~”Does the city not get too much as well?”
Mystery Girl ~”You do have a point but I still don’t think I can.”
Mason ~”Can you guys stop daydreaming and help offload this car.”
Skye ~”Which bedroom are we taking?”
Damon ~”The one facing the beach.”
Brody ~”I take the other one.”
Mason ~”I am grabbing the one by the pool.”
Amber ~”What are my options?”
Damon ~”There is another one on the side or the back.”
Skye ~”Or with Mason?”
Amber ~”What a difficult choice.”
Mason ~”I don’t bite.”
Amber ~”Last night you did.”
Skye ~”Shut up!”
Amber ~”Ok I will go with Mason.”
Damon ~”And you?”
Mystery Girl ~”I will take the side, you can still get a view from there.”
Damon ~”Great now you girls can go unpack the suitcases.”
Skye ~”You will take the suitcases upstairs while we are making cocktails.”
Damon ~”You still have to come change though.”
Skye ~”How must I change into a bikini if you have not taken my suitcase upstairs?”
Damon ~”You have a good point.”
The guys head back outside again and take everything into the house. These damn suitcases of the women are nearly about to rip off your arm. I mean, really, how much did they pack for four days.
I finally managed to get this damn rock upstairs along with mine. There is no way I am unpacking now. I am only going to slip into something more comfortable.
We meet up with the girls downstairs at the bar.
Damon ~”What is that smile on your face for?”
Skye ~”I still can’t believe that your sweet ass is mine.”
Amber ~”She is lying, she threw a secret ingredient in our cocktails and now she does not want to tell us.”
Damon ~”Do you want to poison us or get us drunk?”
Skye ~”Hopefully the latter.”
Damon ~”Then what did you throw in there?”
Skye ~”Just alcohol, the kind that makes you drunk real fast.”
Damon ~”You put absinth in there didn’t you?”
Skye ~”Maybe just a drop.”
Damon ~”You are damn crazy.”
Skye ~”Ah just keep quiet and drink it. I only put in some Bacardi.”
Damon ~”You are still crazy.”
The girls quickly go upstairs while we settle down on the deck chairs outside by the pool.
I watch her as she come back downstairs again. God she is so beautiful.
It has taken us a little over two months to get here and I am still as much in love with her as I was from the beginning. We have been through a lot of shit to get here too but since she got her memory back, I have never been so happy, we have never been so happy. I wish this is something that Brody will find this weekend. Of course not all of it but at least the start of it.
But are we doing the right thing? Should we be setting up Brody with the intention of marrying? Should we even tell the girl that hey he needs to find a wife and that you might be her? What if we put him with a woman that becomes his wife and they get divorced amount later. It is great playing matchmaker but we are playing with someone’s heart. I think this is unfair, the girl deserves to know. What does it help if he goes all through this and she says no?
But for tonight I am worrying about my own girl, we have had such a busy week, I have not catched up on how she is doing.
Damon ~”Hey baby, come sit here.”
Skye ~”Hey baby, how is that cocktail.”
Damon ~”Mean ass, you definitely know how to throw them. I armouring the next round, you will knock us out with this shit.”
Skye ~”You are such a baby. I thought you like things hard core.”
Damon ~”I like my drinks like my ladies and this one is definitely not that smooth.”
Skye ~”So does it mean I am a smooth lady?”
Damon ~”It means that you are mine. I don’t care what surface, you are mine.”
Skye ~”It sounds like you bought me.”
Damon ~”Of course I did, you just did not notice when.”
Skye ~”Oh and when was this transaction?”
Damon ~”The first day I met you in the coffee shop.”
Skye ~”If I can remember I told you to fuck off.”
Damon ~”Do I ever listen?”
Skye ~”You the most stubborn person I know and that is why I love you so much.”
Damon ~”I love you too baby.”
Skye ~”So who is this mystery guest of yours?”
Damon ~”Oh fuck I nearly forgot about them.”
Skye ~”Is it more than one person?”
Damon ~”Yes it is a couple.”
Skye ~”When are they coming?”
Damon ~”They going to be here in an hour.”
Skye ~”Do I know them?”
Damon ~”No you don’t.”
Skye ~”Am I going to like them?”
Damon ~”Yes I think you would like them.”
Skye ~”Why did they not drive down with us?”
Damon ~”They wanted to come on their own. Thinks get quite tense with the group sometimes so they might leave early.”
Skye ~”That does not sound so great. Hope there is not going to be any fights.”
Damon ~”Don’t worry baby, that won’t happen.”
Skye ~”Ok. Are you going to pour us a drink and we can go for a walk on the beach before they come?”
Damon ~”Sure, let me grab everyone’s glasses and fill it up.”
I go around and get whomever wants more’s glass and take it to the bar. Brody comes to help me.
Damon ~”So how is it going?”
Brody ~”She is a great girl. I am not used to girls like these so I still say and do stupid things around her, you know like club shit.”
Damon ~”Just be yourself, the girl is going to appreciate it more if you don’t pretend you something you not. Especially if you are going to marry her.”
Brody ~”You guys sure this is the girl that I am going to marry?”
Damon ~”Only you can answer that. But if you don’t feel it then you must tell me so I can introduce you to one of the other girls.”
Brody ~”Let me get back there.”
Damon ~”We going for a walk on the beach if you guys want to come.”
I get back to Skye and hand her drink to her first before I take the others.
Damon ~”Come baby.”
Skye ~”Just don’t push me in the water.”
Damon ~”Have you never been in the ocean?”
She shakes her head with a shy smile on her face.
Damon ~”I promise you I won’t.”
We kick our sandals off, grab our drinks and head onto the beach.
I love how my feet sink into the sand, the way it tickles the skin between my toes. The way it kicks up against my legs with every step that I take. The way it starts sticking to me as we walk further down to where the water meets.
I love feeling of the water rushing over my feet and dragging the sand back in as it goes. The feeling of the waves crashing against my body. The cold water refreshing your body even the salt watery taste.
I watch Skye experience all these things as we take a stroll down the beach. Her smile and her laughter cannot compare, she is even more beautiful than all the beauty that surround us. Yes I know that I am kind of sounding real soppy but hey what can I say, I love the girl.
We mess around in the water for the next hour, she is getting a lot more comfortable with the waves. She is having so much fun but I can see she is getting exhausted. It is time to go back in any case as our other couple would be joining us any minute now.
Back at the house, the party is at full steam.
Skye ~”It looks like we have some catching up to do.”
Damon ~”So much for waiting for us.”
Brody ~”You were taking too long.”
Mason ~”And Amber here could not sit still anymore.”
Skye ~”I forgot that is one thing she and Damon have in common.”
Amber ~”And Brody’s girl was just bubbling over, she could not sit and be so boring anymore.”
Damon ~”Just a whole bunch of excuses.”
Skye ~”They do have some valid ones.”
Damon ~”Then why don’t you makes us some more of that cocktails and we can catch up.”
Then the door buzzes.
Skye ~”Oooh they are here.”
Amber ~”You got me damn excited to meet someone I probably don’t even know.”
Brody ~”I think he is just being up to no good.”
Mason ~”Is it strippers?”
Amber whacks Mason against the head.
Mason ~”Fuck that was sore.”
They all patiently wait for me to open the door. Standing behind me like a bunch of teenage girls.
I open the door
Damon ~”Hey guys.”
Ashley ~Hey Damon.”
Rowan ~”Hey man.”
I watch as the group just stares at me will the biggest WTF on their faces.
