The encounter

Larry

I remain silent for a moment, because the emotion that rises in me is at its height. I get up and sit down. I am so moved to hear this news that I don't know what reaction to have. It's not true! What happiness! I would never have imagined, nor dreamed of being able to experience such good times. Surely I must be dreaming!
"Amore mia! You make me happy!" I stammered on the verge of tears.
"And me even more my heart!" She whispers, her gaze full of love.
The evening was very beautiful. We ended up in our hotel room. The next morning, I went out very early to play sports before my sweetheart woke up. In the gym, I see a face that's familiar to me, but I don't pay too much attention to it, thinking I'm confusing it with someone else. As soon as I finish, I go out and see that same face again in front of the gym.
"Larry!" She screams my name, smiling and throwing herself into my arms.
"Kourtney!?" I said surprised to see her there.
It was my ex-fiancée who I was about to marry and who cheated on me.
"How are you doing? Nice to see you again, it's been a long time!" She said in one breath.
Kourtney is American and does not speak French. She says she is happy to see me again. We talked for a while and I took my leave of her. She tells me that she came to Hawaii for her holidays. We talked a little more than I expected. When I arrive in the compartment of the hotel we have rented, I find Martina already out of the room.
"Love!" I said going to give him a kiss.
"Where have you been all this time? I've been waiting for you so we can have breakfast as a family." She said, her face a little knotted.
It's obvious that Martina must have been worried after me, since I went out this morning without my phone.
"Forgive me my queen", I hastened to say. "I was at the gym and didn't see the time. I'll be more careful next time, I promise!" I resumed, raising my hand as if to take an oath and giving him a kiss.
"No big deal! But the kids have already had their breakfast. I was expecting you." She replies, smoothing her face.
"Run quickly, wash your face and come downstairs, because I'm hungry. You have 5 minutes to do it." She sums me up.
"At your command, Commander!" I hastened to say and I gave the military salute while laughing then I went up very quickly in the room to take a quick bath. I blame myself for hiding my meeting with Kourtney from him. I prefer to talk to her about it another time, because she could misinterpret things if I talk to her about it right away. How can I tell her that I wasted all this time chatting with my ex-fiancée who I was getting married to, while she was waiting for me for breakfast? She would get angry and I really don't want that.
When I've finished taking my bath, I go down to find her and we quickly have our breakfast. The day promises to be very long and interesting, because we have planned to go out with the children to visit tourist sites in the region. The latter are also very excited about the idea. So, when we finish eating, we pick up the children and we begin, without however delaying, this long and full of adventures day. Everything went wonderfully. We took lots of photos and videos of all the beautiful places we were able to visit. Back in the day, Martina and I went to a massage parlor to relax, while the children went home to rest, as we were very tired. In the evening, Martina and I went out after we put the kids to bed. We go down to the restaurant of the hotel, which is well upscale and with a good atmosphere of cheerfulness in the evening. Once we've finished dinner, I invite Martina onto the dance floor to dance alongside many other couples who are already having a blast to the beats of local music. I get up and hold out my hand to Martina, but she hesitates
"You promised to try harder my love!" I say grumpy.
"And besides, it's not because we don't know how to dance that we don't have the right to have fun." I continued to say as I felt her surrender.
"It's good, you won Mr. Kurt! In any case, it's you who starts!" She replies, letting go and getting up to take my previously outstretched hand.
We get on the dance floor and blend in with the crowd. Very unusual thing, Martina really lets go of the atmosphere and she dances hard. I smile at his festive air and his dance steps.
"Wow my love, you didn't tell me you're a great dancer!" I exclaimed, trying to follow her closely.
"Sweetheart, there are still many other hidden talents I have that I haven't told you about." She answers while trying to taunt me.
I pull her to me and kiss her passionately.
"I like your swaying hips, it would make a none hard."
Martina dances wonderfully well. It took so much patience and perseverance for my wife to gradually relax and finally come out of her shell. In the end, this trip was the idea of the year, I thought with a smile. She asks me
"What makes you smile so much sweetheart?"
"It's you mia Amore." I answered.
"I love to see you so happy. Thank you for this beautiful show!"
She smiles back and I kiss her again. Finally, it was Martina who took advantage of the evening by having a blast like crazy. Me on the other hand, I was only trampling the other dancers when I tried to sketch a few steps. Martina didn't stop making fun of me throughout the evening.
"Come on bae, you'll teach me to dance won't you?" I tell him at the end of the evening, as we leave the hotel snack bar.
"Hmmmm..." she said, stopping her chin, as if to say that she was thinking first. Then she resumes.
"I don't know yet. It depends."
"Enough to?" I asked.
"Bah about the offer you're going to make me." She replies, giving me a wink.
"Amore, that's blackmail!" I exclaimed under a false air of indignation.
"Very well seen my darling!" She replies, stopping.
"How about we start the offer here and now?" I said with a mischievous smile and pulling her towards me to kiss her.
"Larry!" I hear calling, as we are interrupted. I turn to the voice, as well as Martina. It's Kourtney walking towards us and I remember that I had forgotten to tell Martina about our meeting this morning, as I had planned to do later in the day. She was so overloaded that I had no time to do it. When Kourtney gets to our level, she throws us
"Hi guys, how are ya?"
"Kourtney?!" That's all I can find to say with a forced smile, looking embarrassed.
Martina was there staring at me to figure out who it was. Finally, I introduced them to each other.
"Oh!" Said Kourtney surprised when I introduced her to Martina as my wife.
"You haven't told me you were married when I saw you this morning at the gym!" She said putting me more in the embarrassment, while I can read a lot of disappointment in my wife's eyes.
Kourtney finally leaves and Martina and I go back to our apartment. The ride was silent, and you could feel the tension in the air. As soon as we arrive in our room, Martina undresses and bathes, still without speaking to me. I'm waiting for her to finish to do the same. When I come out of the bathroom, I see her lying on the bed, her eyes closed, but I know she's not sleeping. I sit on the edge of the bed and tell her in a small voice
"I'm sorry Amore mia!"
"When were you planning to tell me that you met your ex-fiancée whom you loved dearly and whom you were about to marry?" she attacks in anger.
"My love..." I managed to whisper with pain.
"I wanted to talk to you about it during the day, but we were so busy, it completely slipped my mind, until I saw her again tonight." I say with a heavy heart.
"But you had the opportunity to tell me about it this morning when I asked you why you took so long at the gym, while I was killing myself worrying here for you !" She retorts, looking at me and waiting for me to defend myself. But I keep silent. Having noticed that I do not say a word, she continues annoyed.
"I thought we said we weren't hiding anything! Should I be worried about her showing up in our lives?" she asks with a trembling voice.
"Hey bae! Don't worry." I hastened to say.
"As I told you, Kourtney it's ancient history, there's nothing to worry about, believe me. You are my life now. Forgive me for hiding that we had met this morning." I continued with a reassuring tone.
"I don't appreciate your attitude and you know how much I hate lying. And tonight you'll have to go to sleep in the living room." She said furiously and turning her back on me. I get up very sad to have put her in this state and I whisper in her ears
"I'm sincerely sorry Amore, forgive me!"
I give him a kiss on the forehead and leave with a very heavy heart. I go and sit in the living room on the sofa and I try to force sleep to take me, but I can't sleep. In reality, I really blame myself for hurting my wife, when she does everything possible to make me happy. I promised to always watch over her and make her smile, not make her cry and make her sad like she is now. However, I manage to close my eyes very late at night. When I wake up in the morning, Martina continues to sulk at me and doesn't always want to speak to me. It was like that all day. In the evening, while we were getting ready for dinner, I decided to apologize to him, because I couldn't stand the distance between us anymore. I come and sit next to her on the bed and I start
"Amore..." I stammered half-worded.
I get down on one knee in front of her then I resume.
"Forgive me, I admit I acted badly towards you. I should not have hidden from you that I had met Kourtney yesterday morning. But I was afraid that you would take it badly that I wasted time chatting with my ex, while you were there, waiting for me to have breakfast, as we always do. Trust me my love, I swear on the head of this little being you are carrying, said I caress her belly before continuing, that there is nothing and there will be nothing in my heart for her. You make me happy, and no other woman interests me. I love you Mia Love!"
She looks at me with her eyes misted with tears and she caresses my cheek with her silky hand then she asks me
"Promised?"
"Promise my love! Never more secretiveness, nor lies." I replied with my hand on my heart.
She descends to my level and throws herself into my arms. We stay in this position for a long time. I love this woman so much and my heart swells with love every time I am with her. We get up and finish getting ready for dinner together. When we arrive at the restaurant, we dine in peace. After having finished eating, we decide to return to the hotel because we do not want to attend the fiesta and the dances of the night. As soon as we walk towards the exit door, Kourtney comes to meet us and I exclaim in my heart
"It only took that one to spoil the mood tonight. What else does she want from me?!"
