His Chess Board

                                    

                                          
"Wakey wakey ." Ash nudges me making me groan just a few more minutes please !
"No ."
I hear his footsteps move from the bed and i let my sleep pull me under over again that is until the smell pancakes evades my senses  . 
I open one eyes to find Ash moving the plate with the golden stack in circles around me as if he were clensing the room with the aroma .
"Do i even wanna know what you are doing ." I shut my eye again .
"Waking you up ." He whispers near my ear , his fresh minty breath tickling behind my ear .
"No kidding Sherlock ." I say getting up pushing his head away . 
Rubbing the sleep from my eyes i look at him with a blank expression .
He dips his finger in the syrup and i watch as his finger moves towards my face . 
"No you don't ." I dodge his finger falling onto my back on the bed .
"Why you so sleepy ?"
"Well my husband is being a pain at night when he keeps me up either making pizza , dancing , tickling me or pulling me off the bed ."
"Sounds like pure hell ." He scrunches up his nose .
"You think ."
I groan once more and curl myself around his pillow that smells of his citrus scent .
I feel his hands grasp my ankles pulling me towards him , i try kicking but before i can do that i am flung over his shoulder .
"Making the blood rush to my head won't wake me up -"
"This will wake you up ."
"Alvera !" I feel my body connect with cold water . He just threw me into the pool, he is so lucky it is so hot .
"Another situation we find ourselves in too often don't you thunde, you over my shoulder ?" He gives me a lopsided grin while he crouches near the edge of the pool . I swim to the edge of the pool coming up right in front of him .
"You cute when you pout ." He says brushing my wet hair out of my face .
I try grasping his hand to try bring him in the pool . 
"Uh uhh ." He moves his finger side to side . "Nice try ."
I swim towards the steps and get out of the water instantly feeling the hot air fan around me . 
I watch as Asher's eyes pop out of their sockets while he stares at my pajamas cling to my body  .
Mmmmm 
"Mr Alvera , a bee will surely kiss your eyes ball if you keep staring ." I say swaying my hips as i walk back into the chalet .
"Very funny Mrs Hererra ."
Hererra , that stops me in my tracks that stung .
Get a grip Blayke ! 
"You said it yourself ,Murphy Blood ."  I proceed in my journey to going to the bathroom , i don't turn to see his reaction but i hear i humored him by the sound of his chuckle 
The hot water , runs down my body slightly calming me , its finally settling in . 
Its too hot to even wear clothes so i settle on a light flowing tye and dye dress with my hair in its natural curls . The moist in the air prevents my hair from being its normal straight mop . 
My eyes move from Ashers eyes to his chiseled chest . He catches me staring and smirks . Its not like i have not seen his bare chest before , i see it every night because the fool sleeps with no shirt . But today , they look extra , maybe its the Hawaiian shorts or the heat is making me crazy . I am drooling over this fool that is soon to be my ex husband  ! 
"Care to loose at a chess game Mrs Hererra ?"
"You carried the board ?"
"Duhhh what kind of man would i be to ever not carry it with me ."
Ash moves his bishop putting me in check , i inwardly groan i am so gonna loose this game . Well i kinda won the first , the second but i might loose the third game . 
"Checkmate ." I smile at him , so i won again , my rook pulled through at the last minute .
"Make me a promise ."
"Depends on what it is ."
"Promise me even after our divorce you will meet me to play a chess game every Wednesday ."
I couldn't help grin at him .
"I Blayke Taya Hererra here-"
"Alvera , you forgot your other name ."his smile fades and i realize as much as he acts like everything is okay it still hurts him .
"I Blayke Taya Hererra Alvera hereby declare every Wednesday Asher Dantè Alvera will loose a chess game ."
"You mean every Wednesday you will cheat ." His smile is back , but his distracted . His physically here but mentally somewhere else . 
Its getting real daily , seems like time is speeding bringing us closer to signing papers bring us to the end of what was a beautiful fantasy . Just yesterday we landed but it feels like this vacation is ending a little too quick for my liking . 
Authors note :
Its finally settling in . Cold feet Herrera ??
