Soul Mates. The Beginning.

by Christine Wood

  “Well Bella, he’s waiting for your answer, it would be rude to keep him waiting.” She is sobbing now and smiling.

  “I don’t know…I want… I want to, but what about everything that has happened have you changed and why do you want me?”

  “I changed when I fucked up last time, sorry Maria.” She smiles. “I have given you the space you asked for and the time, I have waited for you to let me back in, I thought giving me this beautiful necklace was the answer I had waited for, your card was very cryptic Bella.” She looks at Luis.

  “Post them for me you said. When did you give him the parcel?”

  “He knew I was coming to surprise you and left them on my bed for me to read when I got here. I came to see you but you were tired.” She blushed.

  “I wasn’t tired I was sozzled, and I fully intend never to drink again, I did the thing I wanted to pass out so drunk I couldn’t remember getting home, and don’t you all look at me, you have all done it.”

  “Well we are still waiting…” Mum is grinning yes, I know she likes Chris.

  “Yes, I will marry you Christopher Holland.” I heard that right, she said, yes right? I am pushed over on the sand and she jumps on top of me.

  “Err your parents are watching us Bella.”

  “Oh yeah sorry, it seems I may have been a little bit excited.” I was helped up by my fiancée, wow she said yes and I’m pushing a green emerald and diamond ring on her finger, she looks down and smiles, then cries again, oh God so is Maria. I am slapped so hard on my back by Hugh I stumble forwards into Bella.

  “It seems we have a wedding to plan Maria.”

  “Oh God no, she has been murder at planning my birthday parties, please no, I don’t want a big fuss and I certainly don’t want a circus for a wedding, please Mum Dad, and you too Chris. I want just family and just friends, you can throw a massive party afterwards but a small simple wedding and no arguments Mum, or we elope.” They all laugh because Maria is sulking.

  “If you don’t mind I would like to speak to my fiancée we have things to discuss, we will see you at the party later.”

  “Can we make it official and make the announcement at the party?” Hugh seems really pleased.

  “Yes you can, I want the world to know she’s said yes.” I say, this is a dream and if I wake up, and have to do this for real I will be mad, sad and damned angry...

  “Way to go Bro, hey you will be when you get married who knew you would be my brother after wishing you were all those years ago.” They leave us on the beach we are a little bewildered I think? I pick her up and take her to my bungalow. This is no dream thank fuck for that.

  “Where are you taking me?”

  “Somewhere to talk, you really meant it when you said yes you’d marry me?”

  “I really meant it yes. Each of us had been through hell trying to get to this place. What were you hiding out for?”

  “To sweep you of your feet dressed as the skunk, Pepé la Pew. Throw you over my shoulder and bring you here to my little beach hut thing and fulfil a promise we made each other five long years ago.”

  “So, what are you waiting for? I think I have waited long enough.” I carried her up the path to my place. She wowed really loudly. “This is beautiful, very Swiss Family Robinson, all this is for you?”

  “Really, and yes all for me, sorry us. Tell me what you think of it?” She smiled and as I put her down in the lounge, she smiled and grabbed my hand and led me to the master bedroom. We cross an enclosed glass walkway to the bedroom wing, its overlooking the ocean and has wondrous views.

  “I presume this is the way through to the master boudoir?” I laughed a very nervous laugh.

  “Why yes, Bella it seems it is. What have you got in mind? It’s not talking you have planned, is it?” She shook her head. “What might I ask what do you wish to do with poor ole me?”

  “Oh I don’t know? If what you say is true, it’s been a while since you had sex, has it not?” I stop her talking and kiss her, there’s very little between her, me and the pink bikini she is wearing and I know she can feel my readiness for her. I wanted to take this slowly, and that’s well and truly a past tense. I now need her now.

  “Bella, everything I said I meant, there has been nothing like that for me. Please stop being a tease.” She undid her top, and let it fall to the floor and then shimmied out of the bottoms, oh my God, she is naked and beautiful and I hold her close and kiss her deeply. My hands grab her firm backside, and squeeze the cheeks in my hands and groan as she starts to undress me.

  “One of us is a little over dressed for my liking. I need you Chris and I intend to have you, so strip because you’re the one teasing me now…” Wow… I’m happy to accommodate, though stripping can wait. I undress and as I too get naked, I turn to face her.

  “Oh my Mr Holland, you are ready to please me. Get your cute backside here I’ve waited for this for five long years so this better be worth the wait.” I climb on the bed like a tiger stalking my prey and she giggles.

  “I think this is well overdue…” We kiss and explore each other bodies my hands caress her soft skin and I groan as hers find my dick, it’s way too over reacted, she oh-ed loudly.

  “What’s the matter Bella?”

  “You’re kind of big? You know down here.” I smile and kiss her.

  “We can take this slowly Bella we don’t even have to do that, besides I want to make love to you all night and we have a party to be getting to.”

  “I want to do it once before we go please? Just be gentle with me I haven’t done this with anyone else.” I’m shocked she kept herself for me?

  “You’re still a virgin Bella?” She cries and I kiss away her tears.

  “Yes, do you not want me now?”

  “Oh hell yes, really I do, but this will hurt you a little, but we can take it easy and edge into it, if that’s alright with you?”

  “No, I want to get that bit over with as soon as possible, and then the rest will be better.” I look in her eyes and do as requested putting on a condom, she shivers.

  “Bella, I will be very gentle well as I can be, I have never done this.” She kisses me and I hover near her sex and as she kisses me I break through her barrier and she holds my arms and cries in pain I see it in her eyes and panic. “Bella, I hurt you I’m sorry.”

  “No, please it’s not that bad actually, it feels kind of weird, you’re alright aren’t you am I alright?” Is she alright, yes, she’s mine, all mine. I move slowly at first giving her time to relax, and with the tears come kisses and passion, I move within her and feel her as she tenses beneath me, I feel her tighten around my dick as she claws at my back she kisses my neck and holds on.

  “Chris, what’s happening oh God, what’s happening? Please don’t stop that’s so good, oh hell so good, so good, so good.” I gather I’m good, she’s about to have her first orgasm, I think, as her eyes have glazed over? I pound a little harder in to her, then kiss, and suckle at her breast. They are pert and hard, and asking to be sucked upon. “What’s happening? This feels nice not nice, funny not funny wonderful definitely wonderful, yes harder please harder argh yes, yes, yes, Chris yes, do that arghhhh, I’m dying, dying you’re killing me, but don’t stop do me harder, harder, yes, yes arghhhh.”

  She screams my name and cries and I think passes out, as I too come hard with a final last push way into her, her vagina clamps tightly around my dick, never has this felt so fucking good, so good. I collapse on her sweaty breasts, her face is red and a smile is there, after I empty my seed into the damn condom, how I wish I could feel her skin against mine. I hold her tightly and breathe a sigh of relief…

  “Was that alright for you, are you alright?” She um’s, so I guess I have my answer. “Bella, are we alright?”

  “Shush we are fine, so fine, I hurt in a nice way, because I know it’s happened at last, we did it, we actually did it, didn’t we?”

  “I’m still inside you Bella relax a little I need to get out o
f you.” She blushed as I kiss her and she relaxes enough for me to slip out, as I do, she winces.

  “Did I hurt you again?” She smiles and kisses me, and damn I’m ready to go again.

  “Can we do that again?” I oblige my fiancée twice more, before the phone goes the party starts in an hour. We shower together, as she really is too sore for anything other than a shower too. She pulls on a robe and dashes across to her bungalow, I put on the zebra costume as requested and go to bring her armed with her present, I had intended to leave it on her doorstep but this is ways better, I get to see her open it. I knock and go in.

  “Wow you look great, you look fantastic, zoo keeper and sexy as hell, I may have to go to the zoo more, they didn’t look like this when I went last time.”

  “Why thank you, you stripes suit you too, come on we are late for some reason, I know Mum and Dad know we have done it. If you high five Luis I will withhold all sex privileges.” I smile and grab her and kiss her madly and passionately, she has just made all my dreams come true…

  CHAPTER FOURTEEN:

  Bella:

  Chris and I made our way to the beach party, and his people had made it look amazing, but it couldn’t look as good as I felt as I snuggled into his body as we walked into the party, and I swear if Luis makes a big deal of what everyone knows we have done, I will kill him.

  “Are you alright Bella?” He asked me as I winced.

  “Umm, just a little sore, I’m sure it will be fine. Are you alright?”

  “I’m more than fine, sorry about your aches and pains, perhaps a hot bath when we get back in will sort you out?”

  “If it includes more of you then consider me well on the way to healing quickly.”

  “I have unleashed a monster Miss Humphries.” I giggled as I was swept up in his arms as we approached the beach, trying to kiss a zebra is not that easy.

  “Could we not have been wearing gory shirts and grass skirts and gone Hawaiian? This is going to be a damned hot night. Why are there loads of zookeepers on this beach, with long black hair?” I moaned loudly.

  “My plan was to ditch security and have sex with a stranger on the beach it seemed like a good plan at the time.”

  “Well, I would still have been the stranger, but in a skunk costume so thank you for making our first time a little more comfortable.” I laughed as Mum and Dad came rushing forward.

  “Well, did you discuss everything?” Mum as usual taking the bull by the horns.

  “Yes Mum, were getting married in Vegas on the way home. Chris has a two day gap in business, and we can all go there on the two planes, simple no fuss, and how we want it, you can go over the top with the party and go as big and as brash as you like with that, and wherever you like Paris, Madrid, London or Timbuktu for all I care, as long as the wedding is what Chris and I want, a small intimate affair with just family.” Chris squeezed me tightly.

  “You want to marry me that quickly?” I nod my head. “Great, you will be coming back to Australia as Mrs Holland.” I froze.

  “What we’d be living in Australia? I didn’t think that far ahead, I’d have to leave uni and Mum and Dad, shit we really should have talked.”

  “Will it be a problem?”

  “No. wherever you go I go from now on, after all that’s what married people do isn’t it?” I really hadn’t seen this one right through. Chris smiled and kissed my nose then my lips.

  “Don’t worry, you’ll love the ranch. I have over two hundred horses, and quite the nice collection of beverage named Aztecs. Yours can all be shipped over and we can, or rather you can design your new stables, as to university I happen to be a large sponsor to the University of Perth, I’m sure we can get you transferred, or if you need to carry on with the one you’re at, we can work around you. We also need to discuss children please tell me you want them?”

  “Yeah loads and whilst I’m still young too, is that alright I mean I want them as soon as we can and at least four.” He smiled.

  “I was thinking half a dozen, but sure I can do four, so we need to practice when we get back home, that will be something new.”

  “What will be new?” Luis came from behind us and laughed. “God, he means the making babies part, he never does it without protection.” And suddenly I feel like crap that he’d had sex with who knows how many other girls, and that my brother had seen him at it too.

  “That was in the past Bella, there will be only you from now on, stop worrying, I’m sorry I couldn’t say my first time was tonight, but if it means anything it was the first time I made love and kissed someone during sex.” I blushed.

  “So best man duties are what exactly, how does strippers and a bar crawl sound?”

  “Like your kind of party, my last night will be spent with your dad at the bar I’m passed all that Luis, isn’t it time you were?” I laughed as Mum and Dad took to the stage, interrupting the Calypso band.

  “Ladies and gentlemen, family and friends, as you know today is our daughters twenty first birthday today, and it is with great honour indeed, that I make this wonderful announcement. Today, I have given my blessing to the marriage of Isabella to Christopher Holland. A man, I have always considered as a son, and he has always been a part of our family. Now at last he is to become an official member, so please let me ask Isabella and Chris to come to the stage, and give the birthday and engaged couple, a round of applause, I hope they will be as happy as Maria and I have been these past twenty eight years.” Chris and I take to the stage and accept the applause. I feel ecstatic, its official, and as the photographers snap away, we are interrupted by a loud clapping sound.

  “Well done Son, you’re marrying your sister, how nice of you Hugh to finally make the bastard legal, with an illegal marriage. I looked at the man before me, Hoyt Holland.

  “So Hoyt, you are still singing that same old song, that Chris is my son? I wonder why you think Christina would cheat on you. It is beyond my understanding why though, but for some strange reason she loved you, Maria spent a lot of time with her, it’s all thanks to Christina that we met each other and for that, I will be eternally grateful. You see what you didn’t know is, they were great friends through their fathers, I didn’t enter the picture until I met Maria, you dumb bastard.

  I had met both Maria and Christina together in a hotel social gathering, and yes, we met a few times. I was married and Maria was married, and so were you, to Christina, though you were still putting it about. You’re only hitting out and being bitter now, because of how guilty you felt, at how you betrayed her, your cheating made her go into early labour. You did that, nothing else did that but you, breaking her weak heart and Maria sat through it all, because as your son was being born, you had to be dragged away by your own security from a whores bed, to be told she was having your child, ask Maria she was there.

  She held her hand, she loved your wife and your mother Chris, she promised her on her death bed she would welcome you into her family and look after you. Maria and I officially met two years later, and I asked where her best friend was, she broke down and I comforted her, so tell me how I could possibly be his father when I was two continents away? However, I consider it my honour to love the memory of that wonderful woman, who gave me a wife and my family, and who gave you a wonderful son, a son you seem hell bent on destroying. Well, that’s not happened, because in spite of you he’s one hell of a man. Yes one as I said, I proudly welcome into the family, because I know how proud his mother would be of him, he was all she talked about right until the day she had him, ask Maria she was there day in and day out.

  She loved him enough to die for him, you, you sick son of a bitch ruined any type of friendship with your son long before he started to see me as a replacement father. Thank you by the way, we spent hours together as a family, and during those hours spent together, these two fell in love, so security if you please see to it that this man is escorted to his plane and sent back to his lonely empire. If I never see you again it will be too soon.” I gas
ped and Chris hugged my father, Luis and I never knew how they met other than it was at a hotel thing, damn Chris’s mum brought my parents together after her death wow.

  “You’ll be leaving now Mr Holland, please note I didn’t say father, because you are not my father, you never were. For trying to ruin tonight, I will forgive you, because I’m better than you, but know this, I now pity you and despise you. I have all the family I need and they are here, Jameson, see to it he gets home and please take me up on the offer of coming to live with me and my family?” He nodded and escorted the very shameful Hoyt Holland away.

  “Thank you everyone I’m sorry for this families very private history lesson being made public, but now you all know the truth and I for one need a drink. Join me in raising your glasses, to two people who were destined to be together because two mothers arranged it in their many, many girly talks, that one day Christina’s son would marry Maria’s daughter, tonight I honour that woman and toast our children, so cheers everyone. Would you please play a more lively tune, this isn’t a wake it’s a party, an engagement party, cheers everyone?” I was stunned and Chris held me tightly.

  “Well who knew that, did you Chris?”

  “No, I knew Gran knew your mum, but they never said how, mind you I didn’t ask, I just presumed they were friends because of the time we spent together. So thank you mum and thank you mum Maria, fancy them planning this all those years ago, we need to party and dance, I will destroy Hoyt and he will be sorry.”

  We parted and drank, we danced and we kissed. Mum and Dad were happy and the world at last was as it should be, Chris had some closure, all be it publicly done, and we were happy, though Chris now wants to know who told Hoyt we were getting married, and where Chris was? We walked or rather stumbled home a little tipsy and so in love and all over each other.
