" You're my aunt?" I ask.
" Oh my gosh." In long stride, she comes over to me, surprising me with pulling me in for a big hug.
I can't move or return the hug, my arms remain hanging on my sides.
"Oh sorry." She quickly steps back, blushing in embarrassment.
" It's okay. Um would you like to sit down for a moment?"
" Yes of course." She goes back to where she'd been standing, now settling on the couch and I join her.
A minute's silence passes with us simply staring at each other.
She looks so much like my mom it's creepy.
"I don't know what to say. Hi, I'm Akiandra?" I hold out my hand, biting at my lips, not really knowing what to say.
" Marisa Thompson, your aunt." She shakes my hand, a shy smile on her face.
" I don't know you, oh I'm sorry. What I mean is, my mother never mentioned you."

I laid back on the seat, silently watching the stars as they shun in the night sky, the open roof gave me the perfect view. We hadn't really spoken after he saved me from the many reporters. I have so many questions right now, one of them including when he got back, how he knew I'd be at the diner and why he brought me to the middle of nowhere. I did trust London, that he'd never hurt me, but I was curious as to why we were here.He laid on his back, on his own seat, having done the same with mine, letting the silence take over.I take this time to think back on tonight, how things ended between Keith and I. A part of me feels bad for some of the things I said. I understand his need to protect me and just how much he too was affected by my near death experiences. Another part of me needs for him to sort himself out, to talk to his family and release all he's been holding onto.He needs his family

I can say right now, today, that I've never felt more closer to my mother then hearing all about her life before she had me, from aunt Marisa.The way her eyes lit up as she lost herself to memory, gave away how much she loved and missed my mom. I could sense that she still wore that sense of guilt for not being there for her big sister, but I assured her that my mom was proud of her and that, she never held any grudges.Our afternoon was filled with tears, laughter and a trail down memory lane with the help of relaxation, we felt at the spa .Keith had not been kidding when he said we would have our own privacy with a team attending to us. The minute we stepped in, we were treated like royalty and at one point, one lady came forward, asking for my autograph. Crazy, I know.For some reason people were eager for Keith's and I's wedding, the lady who asked for my autograph asked if we would showcase it li

We circle around each other, having fun and enjoying this quiet moment.At first he was so tense after seeing me in the bathing suit for the first time, I thought he hated it, but him crashing his lips onto mine for a passionate, demanding kiss, threw that thought away.I found it both exciting and scary, how his heated gaze followed me the entire time to the pool. He eventually snapped out of whatever trance he was in and soon joined me.He was all touchy feely, making silly excuses for reasons why he claimed close proximity, until I saw right through him and swam to the furthest corner, letting him know that I figured out his plan and I would stay far away, if he didn't behave.He listened and quickly joined me on my side, pulling me close and claiming my lips for a torturous kiss, then after convincing me that we'd only be having our planned night swim." I spoke to my family." He sp

I couldn't face him after last night, I would blush so hard, just by glancing his way and he made no secret with his knowing smirk. That's why I'm sitting at the opposite end of the table this morning, doing all I can to not look at him. I trusted him last night and let him have his way with me. Let's just say I had to get a mouthful of air just to not lose consciousness, my rapid beating heart was the only thing, reminding me that I'm still breathing.So last night was last night and today is a new day, I've got quite a busy day ahead, well we both do and we won't get to see much of each other. I'll miss him dearly but preparations need to be done." Kea?" " Hmm?" I look up at him, to find his eyes already on me." You're very quiet this morning." He mentions." Am I?" " Hmm, and you barely touched your food," he gestures to my full plate.

Few days later.I stood behind Keith's office door, taking a nervous breath before knocking." Come in." I entered inside to find him busy on his laptop. The minute I stepped in, he looked away and focused his attention on me, an instant smile taking over his face." You're still busy." I accuse." No I'm not, I was just checking my emails." He chuckles, rising up on his feet and coming over to where I'm standing." You know I can go alone right, you don't have to come if you're busy." " No way am I wasting the little time together we can get, right now for anything, come on." He says, taking his phone and wallet, before taking my hand and leading me out of his office." I can't believe they're here." I say excitedly." Yeah you wouldn't have slept if I hadn't forced you to." I playfully

Keith was such a diva about it that every other plan was pushed back, being replaced by the photoshoot.We even went to different places, and I have to say, I had such a fun but tiring time.Keith can be such a perfectionist. We had to redo a lot of pictures until I put my foot down and said no more. He made it up to me with a nice foot massage, it literally lulled me into sleep. So tonight was my bachelorette party, the girls were adamant on it, specifically Theresa. The rest of the day belonged to Keith and I, because sadly, tomorrow we weren't going to see each other. Everyone forbid us from seeing each other.I was going to miss him that's for sure, but we needed a day apart, so we could miss each other terribly and on the day, it'll be more worth it.And how we planned to spend the day, we were cuddling again
