Everything

Stone

It’s our final night together. We got lucky and the hotel we picked has a hot tub on the deck. I climbed in while Regan called her kids and changed. I gaze up at the star-spangled cosmos. Every star, every planet, every speck of dust has a role to play. The universe looks like beautiful chaos, but it is in fact, perfectly precise and predictable.

“Is the water nice?” Regan appears in the doorway, dripping wet and wrapped in a towel.

“Yeah, come join me,” I hold up the two bottles of beer resting in the cup holders.

She wrinkles her nose. “I just showered…”

“Thank goodness there’s more water so you can do it again. Come on. It’s our last night.”

She sighs, but nods. “Okay, let me put on a suit, I’ll be right out,” she smiles, slides the door close, and disappears back into the suite.

The tension from our conversation on the banks of the mangroves is gone, but the question that sparked it, is still unanswered.

And for now, it’ll stay that way. We’ve got this one night left in this perfect dimension we’ve carved out of nostalgia and attraction and I want to spend it happy. Tomorrow, we’ll go back to the real world. And no matter how much I wish it, no matter how bright and shimmering this thing between us, we’ll go our separate ways.

But there’s no way I can go back to a life that she's not part of.

Cosmos taught me that the universe is an impeccable timekeeper, every single thing happens as it should. Us meeting here like this wasn’t an accident.

In my line of work, brilliant women aren’t rare. And almost all of them can claim something that makes them physically attractive. But, as cerebral as I am, I’m even more adventurous and thrill seeking. I know it’s a rare combination, and I’ve yet to meet a woman who can hang with me on a hike and then talk to me about all of the things that interest me - movies, books, food, travel, family, politics.

Until I met Regan Wilde. She’s adventurous, beautiful, bright, and kind. But she’s not the kind of woman you win with a few nights of sex and flattery. Nah, if I want it all, I’ve got to earn it all.

I need to be in the same city, and I need a plan. But until she wants me more than whatever she’s getting out of staying married to a man she doesn’t like or live with.

I might fail. She might trample my heart again, but to be able to finally claim her as mine, is a hell of an upside.

The door slides open, Regan steps out onto the balcony, and my eyes nearly fall out of my head.

I’ve seen her naked and it shouldn’t make me nearly swallow my tongue. But as she walks toward the hot tub, bathed in silver moonlight, I see Venus, - my ultimate woman – come to life.

She’s got on this tiny silver bikini. Her dark hair is swept back and off her face and sits piled on top of her head.
