Immediately Henry saw his friend of ten years and counting, he felt like running into his arms and hugging him. It was something the frequently did during their school days, but afterwards, both saw themselves as grownups and reverted to hand shakes or one second hugs. However, this wasn't the time for one of those but he struggled to hold it in when Barry walked to him and gave him a hug with a friendly pat on the back. Maybe Henry didn't have to talk, before his friend understood."What's up man? Everything alright at work?" Henry didn't know how to feel about the question, but something about made him upset. Did people really see him as someone who put his work abouve every other thing? Was he gradually turning into a workaholic like his father? Granted, his family and the business had been his only interests and everything else was secondary. Now that his father was no more and his mom appeared to be doing fine on her down, the general assumption of the reason for his anger was wo

The weekend approached them faster than Henry could have thought possible, and before he knew it, they were on their way to the local airport. While going on trips was a regular thing for him, something about this one excited him and it was only through holding back that he wasn't skipping steps all the way. Whether it was because he needed to unwind and relax for a few days, or it was because he was going to see his old friends again, something about the resort weekend made him giddy. Beside him, Gina was totally absorbed in her own world as she sat reading a novel. It was her favourite genre, mystery and from the paper back, it appeared to be crime related.He wanted to engage her in conversation, but quickly decided against it and turned to face the window. Throughout yesterday, she barely spoke two words to him but he was happy when he came back and didn't hear her laughing over the phone. Instead, she spent the night watching television and mumbling to herself. Her obsession with

In a matter of seconds, Henry was at her side repeatedly questioning if she was alright. The others came later, while Barry quickly ran out to call the resort doctor. Gina tried to be strong, but her ankle was throbbing and she was scared to look at it. It seemed like it was broken and she stared at the puddle of water she slipped on with so much disdain. She was annoyed at having fallen like that, and it was a bit embarrassing. However, the care she was getting from everyone was quite thrilling, but that was soon overthrown by the pain again."Oww," she groaned when Henry tried to ascertain the exact place that was sprained. She instantly hit his head while trying not to let her tears drop, but before she could do anything more, Henry's strong hands lifted her off the floor and she wondered in surprise as he carried her to their room and carefully placed her on the bed. The warmth of a few seconds she just experienced lingered in her mind and against her will, she found herself wishi

Gina blinked her eyes open in surprise. Instantly, she yawned and stretched which amazed her and she tried to look around. Had she slept off? It seemed so, because the last thing she remembered was talking to Henry after which he decided to get some snacks, and she never saw him again. She sat up in bed, trying hard not to let her make move. It still hurt like mad, but Gina quickly noticed that it tended to hurt less when she was not thinking about it. So she tried to focus her thoughts on anything, anything else and when her eyes strayed to the window, she realized it was night time.When had time flown by so fast, she thought and suddenly, she yawned again. Yes, she needed to get something for them to eat. She remembered seeing a woman cooking at the house, and it wasn't one of the wives so it had to be a resort help. Gina was stuck between lying in bed and waiting for Henry to come, or risk moving her ankle to quench the hunger gradually building up inside her. After a few minutes,

When Gina finally came out of the bathroom spending as much time as she did last time, he waited for a few minutes before yawning and stretching like he had just woken up. In reality, a part of him wanted Gina to come back and start admiring him all over again, but after seeing that the moment had passed, he decided to get out of bed. Apart from the fact that he wanted to see her and watch how she was doing, he also needed to ask his friends if they would still be up for staying an extra day. Left to him, he really wanted to do it but he had the feeling his wife wasn't really into it. As he faked a yawn and rubbed his eyes to get rid of the sleep, he could feel her watching him. He wondered why she was being quiet, especially after what happened last night. It was still hard to believe that Gina climbed into bed with him of her own accord and looking at her face in the sunlight, he couldn't tell if she was red from the hot bath or she was blushing. Either way, she caught him staring a
