“Is this mine?”<br />

“Hot pink just the way you like it<br />

Ms. Brite. Hop on and try to keep<br />

up!” Konstantin kissed her and<br />

jumped on his bike. He looked back<br />

and melted when he saw her riding<br />

close behind him with a big smile<br />

on her face. What he wouldn’t do<br />

to ensure he could see that smile<br />

all the time.<br />

Konstantin pulled up to a quaint<br />

breakfast place where he’d preordered<br />

Naomi’s favorite breakfast<br />

of French toast, bacon, eggs and<br />

fruit with a coffee. When they<br />

walked in they were walked to a<br />

table with more flowers and their<br />

meal already served with steam<br />

still rising from the plates. Naomi<br />

hadn’t realized how hungry she<br />

was until she saw it and proceeded<br />

to eat as if it had been weeks since<br />

she ate last.<br />

Konstantin laughed at her passion<br />

for food. “I will never understand<br />

where you put all the food you eat<br />

Ms. Brite!” He watched her in awe<br />

still questioning how she managed<br />

to look so sexy even while inhaling<br />

her breakfast. He handed her a<br />

glass of coffee with a smirk on<br />

his face knowing she’d need help<br />

washing down the last four bites<br />

she still had stored in her cheeks.<br />

Naomi’s face turned red as she<br />

took the cup from him trying not<br />

to laugh she sipped for a good 20<br />

seconds before tossing her napkin<br />

at him. “Alright ya jerk I can take a<br />

hint,” she said finally able to laugh<br />

out loud. “You can’t expect a girl to<br />

exercise first thing in the morning<br />

and NOT work up an animalistic<br />

appetite.” She play<strong>full</strong>y smacked<br />

his hand and before she could dive<br />

back into her meal he held her<br />

hand in his.<br />

Konstantin laughed as he motioned<br />

for the waiter to bring the check.<br />

“My goal today is to create a<br />

memory so meaningful that it will<br />

stay with you forever Ms. Brite.<br />

Only then could you understand<br />

what your presence has done to<br />

me.” He held her gaze and watched<br />

as his words washed over her. From<br />

the sparkle in her bright brown eyes<br />

to the twitch in her pink lips as they<br />

parted into a faint smile.<br />

She reached toward his face and<br />

touched him the only way she<br />

could. He’d grown to love her touch.<br />

It was kind, innocent and <strong>full</strong> of her<br />

love. She hadn’t said it but he knew<br />

because it was how he felt. There<br />

was no other way to describe what<br />

was happening between them.<br />

Konstantin planned a day <strong>full</strong><br />

of adventure for Naomi. After<br />

breakfast they went for a hike that<br />

led them to a running creek where<br />

they stopped for lunch he had<br />

waiting for them. They swam and<br />

played the way only two people in<br />

love could. They splashed, laughed<br />

and kissed completely lost in each<br />

other. Oblivious to the real world<br />

that awaited them.<br />

There were moments when<br />

Konstantin had to push away<br />

feelings of guilt for his recent<br />

absence in his family’s lives.<br />

They told him they understood<br />

and sounded thrilled he’d found<br />

someone that was bringing him so<br />

much happiness. The last time he’d<br />

spoken to his brother Erwin about<br />

Naomi he was hesitant and awaited<br />

an onslaught of harassment about<br />

no longer being a real man but<br />

his reply had been something he<br />

hadn’t expected.<br />

“Baby bro’s in love huh? Well<br />

between the two of us… maybe<br />

you’re the real man.”<br />

There hadn’t been a trace of<br />

mockery or teasing in his voice and<br />

Konstantin wasn’t sure if he picked<br />

up a sense of longing from Erwin but<br />

couldn’t imagine it since he was the<br />

GQ man of the family. Successful in<br />

life, business and women.<br />

Konstantin laughed it off and<br />

changed the subject quickly to<br />

avoid any kind of uncomfortable<br />

exchange but since then anytime<br />

they spoke Erwin made sure he<br />

asked how Naomi was and how<br />

they were doing. His curiosity in<br />

Konstantin’s relationship was<br />

both endearing and unsettling<br />

as it was a side of his brother he<br />

hadn’t seen before.<br />

Konstantin had a special night<br />

planned as Naomi had agreed to<br />

spend an overnight evening with him.<br />

Dinner at a 5 star restaurant with a<br />

view of the city. It was attached to<br />

the resort they would be staying at.<br />

He booked a suite for them with a<br />

private Jacuzzi, chocolate dipped<br />

strawberries and anything else he<br />

thought Naomi would enjoy. Before<br />

dinner he had her spend a few hours<br />

at the spa getting massaged and<br />

pampered from the day’s excursions.<br />

When she emerged from the salon<br />

in the dress he bought her he lost<br />

his breath. Her blonde hair was<br />

down in loose curls, her brown<br />

eyes framed by those incredibly<br />

dark lashes and her cheeks flushed<br />

pink. Her lips were <strong>full</strong> with a<br />

natural crimson color and curled<br />

up into a lazy smile as she walked<br />

towards him. Her milky skin looked<br />

incredibly soft against the black<br />

dress that hugged her every curve.<br />

If he died in this moment he knew<br />

he wouldn’t mind. Not with her as<br />

his last image.<br />

After dinner Konstantin took<br />

her down the long route back to<br />

their suite. They strolled through<br />

the rose garden where he picked<br />

a single rose and gave it to her.<br />

As they stood under the stars<br />

and moonlight he couldn’t keep<br />

what was on his mind to himself<br />

anymore. He took her hands and<br />

looked into her eyes struggling to<br />

find a way to put his feelings into<br />

words. There was something about<br />

her that made him feel unable to<br />

get a grip.<br />

Naomi could feel Konstantin’s<br />

hesitation and felt her heart begin<br />

to race. She wasn’t disillusioned<br />

enough to believe he’d done<br />

everything today expecting them to<br />

cuddle tonight however she wasn’t
