I close my eyes, leaning back on the seat and relaxing on this travel back home. I can honestly say that I feel relaxed and content, for the honeymoon was beautiful, fun and exciting. Every bit of it was filled with new experiences, adventure and surprises.
Keith never failed to surprise me , he always did even if it was something small or big, he surprised me. He showed me all beautiful places I've never been to, made me try out new things and always made sure that I was happy. Keith truly deserved the most caring husband award in my eyes.
After that night where he asked me to sign those papers, giving me right over everything, I felt overwhelmed and loved so much, but of course fear gripped at me, for the amount of trust he had in me, was beyond words. He trusts me with his life and everything.
His hard work, inheritance, future, were all in the palm of my hand and I was nervous of such a responsibility. I've never had someone trust me so much like him, apart from my mom, he had full faith in me and I had no words to describe the feeling, where your feelings and emotions, had become part of someone you love. They too, shared something so common with you. No more being one sided.
As fun as it was to travel and be out in activity, I missed home and I was glad we were going back. I missed everyone, especially my friends, who I'd not really spoken to during these two weeks. It was time for us to get back to reality and face the world together. Gosh, no more would I be in hiding but I would be walking side by side with my husband. It felt amazing, I had the right to hold his hand in public if I wanted to or hug him, or even speak to him, I felt proud to be his wife.
My eyes opened again, feeling his on me. I smiled at him when our eyes connected and he couldn't help but do so. We were sitting across from each other, being separated by a table, so call me clingy but I wanted him next to me.
I mean in these two weeks we have been joined to the hip, we were constantly together and only ever separated when Keith met his friends or someone called him for attention, Keith surely being known. A few hours in and we would miss each other terribly, calling every 30 minutes or so.
I can remember one time when I'd gone shopping, in one of the local markets in Durban, that being a City in South Africa. I can definitely say the people there are amazing, music and dance surely moves them and gosh, South African's loved their food. They appreciated it.
Anyway, so I'd gone to get a few things for my friends and of course us, it'd only been 30 minutes in town and he called me. He literally told me that he was where I was and would meet me, we ended up enjoying the stroll together.
I would surely miss having him around and seeing him for most of the day. Now that we were travelling back, he'd be back to work, but the nice part was I could visit him at the office anytime, and I could now even look for a job and start on school.
I wanted to join Theresa, but Keith just had to have a word in and suggested I attend at a private institution or study online, where my privacy would be respected. The two of us left the discussion incomplete, because we were still in our honeymoon and didn't want to talk about other things.
Now that we were travelling back home, we had a lot to discuss and get settled, we were now a proud married couple, we had plans and a future to think of.
Gosh I had a future with this gorgeous man.
" What's that smile for?" He asks me.
"I feel happy." I tell him."Aren't you? "
" I'm more than happy, ecstatic is the word."
" Oh and what could have made you so happy?"
"My beautiful wife and the fact that it's her birthday today." He says with a bright smile.
" You've been extra excited for it, it's just a day."
" No, it's your day and now I get to be part of it." He says excitedly.
I chuckle at that.
So today is my birthday and he'd been acting like he's been extra happy about it. I had been woken up to breakfast in bed and he'd taken so much care for me, treating me like a baby. After breakfast we went for a morning stroll around the beach and when we got back to the beach house, we got a little playful, one thing leading to another and passion took over.
He made love to me, telling me he loves me, worshipping me and reminding me of who my heart belonged to.
He's surprised me with a cute but huge fluffy cream white teddy bear, a bunch of sweet things and ofcourse a beautiful, small birthday cake.
Keith surely made my day today and my birthday has been great, though he kept on hinting on more to come. I told him that what he'd done for me, was more then enough but he wouldn't hear of it.
He can go all out and he never tires from it.
" Keith? "
" Mhm?"
" You know that once we land, it won't just be about us anymore."
" Well I'll damn make sure it is, I want nothing to change from these two weeks. I had you to myself for most of the time and I intend, on doing that for the rest of our lives."
" Well it won't just be us, little ones might invade."
He smirks and I narrow my eyes at him, being suspicious.
"You know what I'm thinking?"
" What? "
" How about we go try for one right now?" He gestures with his head, to the room at the back.
" No way Mr, there's a lot needed to be done before that happens."
He playfully pouts at me and I burst out laughing at him..
"Oh gosh, you are unbelievable." I say in between laughter.
Finally calming down, I notice that he had not joined in but was staring at me the whole time, a soft smile on his face.
" Why are you looking at me like that?"
He shrugs his shoulders with a small content sigh.
" I'm a lucky man that's all."
We finally land and the feel of home hits me, making me excited to get off the plane.
" We're home." I breathe out.
" We're home." He smiles at me, coming over to take off my seatbelt, making me roll my eyes at him.
He helps me up to my feet and kisses me.
" I missed you close." He says against my lips.
" You always want me close. "
" Always." He pecks my lips one more time, before letting me go to speak to the pilot.
I continue on to the exit, saying goodbye and thank you to the hostess.

Keith catches up to me as I descend down the stairs, making sure that he's close behind. Once we are down, I notice Joe and Alex standing leaned against a SUV, at a distance.
Keith takes my hand in his and we make our way to them.
"Before we go home, I want to show you something," he says, glancing at me.
"Um okay." He kisses my temple.
What could that be?
Reaching the two men, we greet both of them and before I can hug Joe, Keith pulls me into his chest, making me roll my eyes at him though still smiling at Joe. Him on the other hand looks at us in amusement, nodding my way.
I swear Keith can be possessive even when he doesn't need to be.
Finally getting in the car and driving out of there, right after our stuff had been loaded at the back of the car, except my teddy, which I held with me.
I'm a sucker for teddy.
Along the travel, I start reflecting back on the beginning, our journey and where we are now.
It's amazing really and I can easily smile about the end results.
My curiosity spikes when we take another route from the one leading home, wondering about where he could be taking me.
The car takes a turn off the main road, entering a more private one that's surrounded by a lot of trees. We soon stop in front of a big gate and that's when I glance at him, frowning a bit.
" Keith, where are we?" He doesn't answer but kisses my temple.
" Do you mind if we take a walk? "
" Okay." I nod, still confused as to what this is about.
The guys get out of the car and open the doors, Keith takes my hand once I've joined him on his side, leading me inside the now opened gate and up the curvy driveway.
" So will you finally tell me what this is about?" I ask, glancing between Keith and the now visible gorgeous house, with beautiful expensive cars on the driveway.

" What do you think of this house?" He asks.
I look back at the house, admiring it.
"It's obviously beautiful, who's home is it anyway?"
" Ours."
" W-what?" I glance between the house and Keith, not sure if I heard right.
He looks at me.
"When we'd discussed the divorce with Rick one time, you'd mentioned what you'd like out of it."
I remember telling them that I wanted a house and maybe a car, but I didn't think it would be taken seriously.
" Keith- ," my eyes are getting wet now.
" I'm fulfilling that one wish. This." He gestures to the house. " Is me telling you that I've heard you."
I turn to face him completely.
"So this is ours - our new home?" I take a step closer, closing the distance.
"Yes."
" And the cars?"

" Everything is in your name, this is yours."
My heart feels like it's about to burst out of my chest.

This is just......wow.
I quickly cradle his face and claim his lips, throwing all emotion into the kiss. His hands come up to my waist, pulling me impossibly close but I don't care.
" Thank you." I breathe out against his lips, resting my forehead against his.
"Do you love it?"
" I love it." I tell him, leaning back with a wide smile.
" Wanna check it out?"
"Ofcourse, let's take a look at our new crib." I wiggle my brows at him, making him chuckle.
He takes my hand in his and we continue on, heading over to check our new home.
Our home.
*******
This has been the best birthday ever and I don't think anything can top today. I've been smiling the whole way from my big surprise, our beautiful new home.
Keith has done over and above for me and I'm always rendered speechless, when he does things like this.
" Are you happy?" He asks, his breath fanning my ear.
"Yes, more then anything." I turn to him." You have done so much for me, it's too much...I- "
"Nothing could ever be compared to what I put you through, your endurance, your patience, your love. You're my only." He tells me, cradling my face in his hands.
He kisses my forehead and I close my eyes at the feel of his lips, against my skin.
" Keith-"
" I love you." He tells me.
" I love you."
We arrive back at our home, well our old home. It's late in the day, the sun setting and I'm more than ready for us to sit down, chill and relax.
" So what do you want us to do for the rest of your birthday?" He asks me, as we walk to the door.
"Well we could sit down and relax, maybe watch a few movies and I'll make dinner." I suggest with a shrug.
"No, it's your day, you aren't lifting a finger."
" You never let me for two weeks, I need to do something."
" Nope."
"I bet if I were pregnant, it'd be worse." I mutter.
" Then you wouldn't be out of bed."
"You're gonna kill me." I groan, palming my forehead.
"No, I'll be loving you." He sing songs, making me laugh.
"That's so cheesy." I laugh at him, as he opens the door, letting me go in first.
Walking in, I find it a bit dark only little light coming through the closed curtains.
Where is everyone.
"It's a bit dark, isn't it?"
No answer.
" Keith?" I turn around to face him, wondering why he's suddenly silent.
" Surprise!!!" I hear shouts, making me spin around with a yelp and a stagger back.
Lights have come on and my whole family and friends have filled the living room.
I gape at everyone, eyes wide and hand against my chest, where my rapid beating heart beats.
" Happy Birthday sweetheart." Keith says in my ear.
