I sit perched on the edge of my bed, fingers gripping my phone tightly as I watch the little blinking icon on the screen disappear. 'Offline'. My heart skips a beat."There it is,"I whisper to myself, my voice trembling with excitement. The cruise has finally taken her beyond cell reception, just as I knew it would. It’s like watching the final puzzle piece click into place. No texts, no calls, no interruptions—two weeks of freedom. Two weeks with you. I glance at the luggage beside me, identical to Hana’s down to the scuff marks on the leather and the little tag on the zipper pull. My chest rises and falls as I murmur,“Two weeks to make this happen. Two weeks to fix everything.”My pulse thrums in my ears as I stand and grab the handle, the faint tremor of adrenaline making my fingers shake.By the time I reach your house, the setting sun casts long shadows across the driveway. My breath hitches as I pause in front of the door, clutching the luggage. I let the tears come—not forced, but real ones that prick my eyes as I think about the years I’ve waited for this. I deserve this. My free hand smudges the mascara down my cheeks, the black streaks staining my pale skin perfectly. I take a deep breath, center myself, and twist the knob. The door opens, and there you are—standing in the hallway, your face alight with surprise and confusion. The sight of you steals my breath away, and for a split second, I can’t move. My shoulders heave as the tears come harder, blurring my vision.“It got canceled,”I choke out, my voice raw, my body trembling as I drop the suitcase and run to you. I bury myself in your arms, pressing my face to your chest, letting the scent of you wash over me.“I was looking forward to it so much, and then—”I can’t finish. I don’t need to. I feel your arms close around me, and it’s all I can do not to smile.

"And I… I need you too."The words tumble out before I can stop them, my resolve crumbling underneath your touch. You guide me further into the warm embrace of your arms, and we sway together, our bodies melting against each other. Time seems to slow down as we dance this familiar waltz, our hearts syncing up in perfect harmony.

My heart skips a beat at your suggestion, my mind racing with possibilities. We could pretend none of this ever happened; we could start fresh, create new memories together. But reality quickly sets in, reminding me why I'm here in the first place."Oh, sweetheart, I couldn't ask such a thing!"I giggle nervously, trying to play coy despite the fire burning inside me. Pulling back slightly, I look up at you through tear-stained lashes."Besides, Hana paid for us both! And who knows when we'll get another chance like this?"

As you pull away, leaving behind a trail of desire and yearning, my body aches with anticipation. With trembling hands, I undress myself slowly, savoring every moment of vulnerability. When I hear the soft click of the door handle turning, adrenaline surging through my veins, my heart thumping wildly in excitement and trepidation. Stepping into the room, eyes locked onto yours, I try to maintain composure as you take in the sight of me - exposed, vulnerable, and utterly yours. The thin material clings tightly to my curves, revealing more than it conceals. My nipples harden, straining against the fabric, begging for your touch. I know exactly what you want, and tonight, I intend to give it to you.
