Chapter 1

Katherine Parker groaned as she tried to stuff her luggage into the
overhead compartment of the plane before taking an aisle seat next
to her best friend Jacqueline.

"God damn it, why do they make them things so
small?"

"Would you relax?" Jacqueline smirked at her
pulling her sunglasses to the top of her head, "You've been
stressed since check in."

Katherine sat back on the plane seat and
closed her eyes, she wasn't so sure that this vacation was such a
good idea. Two weeks of bliss in the Bahamas, what wasn't to love
right? But looking around at the happy couples on the plane only
reminded her of what she had lost.

"You're thinking about him again aren't
you?"

"Oh my god Jac, how do you do that?"

Jacqueline smiled "It's a gift."

Katherine smiled, playfully smacking her
friends arm in the armrest between them.

A voice suddenly echoed over the planes
intercom as the pilot spoke to the passengers for the first
time.

"Hello everybody and welcome to flight 314
from Boston, Massachusetts to the Bahamas. We would like to take
this opportunity to wish passengers a pleasant flight and invite
them to check out our refreshments available. There are several
happy honeymooners on board..."

Katherine raised her eyebrows towards
Jacqueline with a look that said all that needed to be said.

The pilot went on "Mark and Tanya, Jen and
Chad, Latoya and Tyson, Matt and Christine, Todd and Barbara and
Steven and Kasey. I wish you all the happiness both on your
honeymoon and in your lives together. Love is the best thing in the
world ladies and gentlemen, if you are lucky enough to find it,
treasure it for all of eternity.”

Katherine scoffed to herself, was this guy
for real or had he drank a few too many beers before take-off? Love
was a sham and she promised herself that she would never let a man
get the better of her ever again. All these reminders of what had
happened back home, clarified in her mind that this trip was going
to be a disaster from the offset.

She looked over to Jacqueline who had buried
her head into a book and she then decided herself to get some
shuteye in order to make the nauseating sights of couples around
her making out, go away.

She drifted off into a light slumber but
thoughts still painfully stayed in her mind as she remembered the
time where her and Tony had first met. Sweet Tony, her soul mate.
At least she thought so until little more than a month ago.

Their eyes first met in the college cafeteria
all those years ago, his blonde jock like appearance was not one
that she usually found attractive but it was his kindness and
giving personality that eventually made her love him.

They got along wonderfully and worked well
together, they had the same ambitions in life and this was what
drew them to each other. One date turned into several more until
the first time that they made love entered Katherine's head.

It was extra special not just because it was
him; it was the first time that she had slept with anybody. It was
clumsy and not mind blowing like what you read about. It was loving
and that was what became normal for the two of them. Passion was
never really a big deal for the duo, Katherine did not even know
what passion really felt like because what the two of them had went
further than that or so she thought.

Their families were very close and after
several years together, Katherine and Tony transcended into the
next natural step of the relationship - engagement. She wasn't even
sure if he wanted to propose but he did and she gleefully accepted,
she thought they were happy together just the way they were.

So when she stumbled into their rented
apartment several weeks previously and caught him fucking Becky,
some hot bronzed beauty from the local tanning salon - her world
fell apart. When she first entered the home, she heard them
immediately, Becky was loud and Tony seemed to be loving it.

Like a deer looking into headlights,
Katherine stared through the door at them having sex on the couch
of their home, hardly being able to believe the scene that was
playing out in front of her. The couch that was the setting of so
many cozy nights together for the couple, but never sex, was now
being used for the lover’s sordid encounter.

Tony had Becky bent over in a position that
he had never so much as attempted with Katherine. With their hands
and mouths eager for each other’s body, she finally realized what
passion was and that was only because her boyfriend was
experiencing it with another woman.

Her brain raced for what she should do. She
knew Tony would use his relationship with her parents to try to get
out of this. Thinking quickly she took out her phone. She tried to
relax as much as possible as her blood was boiling at the moment.
She opened the door quietly, took a few snaps with her phone and
then let it all out and started screaming at the couple.

Katherine may be a smaller woman, but when
she it pissed off, she really lets her presence be known. She threw
the whore out on the street without even giving her a chance to get
her clothes on and after a small amount of pleading, Tony soon
followed.

Becky was the complete opposite of Katherine
and that was what hurt her the most. She had bleached blonde hair,
big breasts and the rest of the Barbie doll features that made men
fall at her feet. Katherine had shoulder length dark hair that
showed off her thin frame and bone structure beautifully.

She was fairly petite with green eyes. Her
pale complexion looked out of place with the rest of her friends,
the majority of the time. Tony had tried and tried to get her back
in the previous weeks pulling out all the usually lines of "It
didn't mean anything" and "I'll never do anything to hurt you
again", but they all fell on deaf ears.

Katherine was determined to move on with her
life and not take the cheating low life back. She realized that the
stability they shared meant nothing, perhaps passion was important
in a relationship after all. She hoped she would be able to find
that deep down passion she had never felt. Find the passion she
knew that men really wanted from her. Passion that would make her
truly happy. Passion that would last the test of time and not be
jeopardized by a young chick at a tanning salon. But how?

"Can I get you a drink ma'am?" A voice said,
awakening her from her sleepy thoughts. She looked up at an air
stewardess and ordered herself a large vodka. There was nothing
like alcohol to numb the pain that she was feeling right now.
Jacqueline looked across at her as she downed the drink almost in
one gulp.

"You told your mom and dad yet?"

Katherine did not need to ask her friend what
she meant because she knew.

"No." she paused "They love Tony so much
Jac."

"They love you more." her friend replied
affectionately rubbing her arm.

Katherine smiled, "I will tell them soon, I
promise."

"By not telling them that you are over, I
think you are subconsciously leaving the door open for you and
Tony."

"I would never get back with him. I just need
to find a way to get over him. Five years isn't easy to forget, we
had so many plans..."

"Promise me something?"

"What?" Katherine replied.

"Promise me that you will at least try and
have a good vacation with me."

Katherine looked at her friend’s sad face and
realized how selfish she was being. Jacqueline had invited her to
the Bahamas to take her mind off Tony and so far, he was all she
could think about and all that she could talk about.

Katherine held up her little finger in the
way that they always did when they made promises to one another,
Jacqueline linked it with hers as they grinned to one another. From
that moment on, she decided to try as hard as she could to look at
the vacation in a whole new way.

It was a chance to have fun and look to the
future, a future without Tony. A short while later, the pilot
announced that they would soon be arriving in the Bahamas and as
they looked out of the window of the plane, the place around them
was a paradise that only existed in dreams.

Chapter 2

After a taxi from the airport, Katherine and Jacqueline soon arrive
in the beautiful resort in the Bahamas that they would be staying
in for the next two weeks. After checking out their spacious room
with an ocean view and a cool breeze running through it, the girls
tried to decide what their next move would be.

"Let's hit the beach baby girl." Jacqueline
says, pulling out her suitcase searching for some appropriate
attire.

Katherine giggles as they both get changed
into something with a little less material to it. Jacqueline puts
on a red hot bikini that shows off her luscious curves perfectly,
her long wavy locks flow over her shoulders. Katherine nervously
steps into a black one piece that looks more apt in the local
leisure center rather than the beautiful Bahamas beaches.

"You’re kidding me right?" Jacqueline asks
when Katherine tries the bathing suit on.

Katherine shakes her head and watches as her
friend rummages around her suitcase.

"Here, try this." she says, handing her what
appears to be a white two piece. "I bought this when I lost weight
on my heartbreak diet last year so it should fit you fine."

Katherine knows that arguing with the feisty
Jacqueline is not an option so she proceeds to do as she is told.
The white bikini is not as fitted around the breasts as they should
be but there is no doubt that her slender body looks great in it
nonetheless.

"Perfect!" Jacqueline says, as they slip some
summer outfits over their swimwear and head for the beach.

A short while later, they are relaxing on sun
loungers and surveying the people in the beach around them.

"I swear to god, there is not one hot single
man on this beach" Jacqueline sighs to Katherine.

Katherine looks around at the canoodling
couples and older leering men before agreeing with her friend.
"When did being in a relationship ever stop a man for playing
around? Anyway, I thought we came here to have a good time, not for
a holiday romance."

"Well...we did, but some sweet holiday loving
would be a bonus."

Katherine laughs as she thinks to herself
that she would not even know what to do if another man paid her
attention let alone between the sheets. Tony was all she knew and
the only person that she ever made love to. She silently scolded
herself for thinking about him again. By seeing all the happy
couples around her, it was hard not to think of love and sex.

"I think we need some pampering." Jacqueline
finally said before pointing to a makeshift building at the top of
the beach, labeled "massages."

After some gentle persuasion, Katherine
agreed to the plan and they emerged from their massages some time
later, feeling refreshed - especially Jacqueline.

"You really don't mind?" She grinned.

Katherine lied, "Of course not, you enjoy
yourself. I'll relax in the hotel room later. Juan seems nice."

"Nice, NICE? Forget nice, did you see those
god damn abs?"

Jacqueline had got on very well with the man
who was doing her massage and had scored a date with him later on
in the day. Katherine tried to hide her envy as they flirted
intently.
