Preparing for a Weekend of Romance

Hi Readers: I am well aware of the fact that I already posted a similar chapter before. However, I have decided that there is a reason why I need to restart Matt and Gabby's weekend alone; and that's where I want to do the weekend (again). Instead of doing it somewhere people can find them, I want to do it somewhere new. Hope you enjoy where it takes place. Thanks again.

Quick Note: I know that there is going to be something that doesn't exactly make sense in the first chapter regarding money. But I want to remind you guys that this is a story of fiction, and the options are endless. Thanks again for understanding.

Friday, May 31, 2019 - The Shay, Ala Wai Harbour, Honolulu
His wife was definitely not going to expect this nice surprise that he was setting up for her, the surprise that was going to be happening this afternoon. And Matt was certain that his wife was going to enjoy it. Just some nice time alone with her husband, as they sail the open sea on their newest home. Matt may have splurged a bit on a new toy of his, but he had the funds to do it. The reason? Turns out that his father was a lot richer than he originally believed. The reason? Well, it turns out that he was married to another woman before he was ever married to his mother. And just recently, that woman died. So, here's the thing. Apparently, the woman believed that her late boyfriend Greg would outlive her; and that meant that she put him in her will. A will in which he was the only heir. And since he's dead, that means that he and his sister just inherited everything from the woman. The inheritance? $500 million. That meant that he and his sister were both now a quarter of a billion dollars richer.

And let's just say that Matt was quite shocked that was the case, and let's just say that he loved the fact that he now had this life. The best part? He was able to buy some nice toys for him and his wife. His newest toy? The Shay. But, you might be asking; just what is "The Shay"? Well, that would be the Casey Family's newest home on the water: Their Yacht. And let's just say that it was going to be the perfect place for him and his wife to get away from time to time, just like this weekend; after all, they've really missed each other, and they definitely need this time. They need time to get away from life, and just concentrate on each other. However, that doesn't mean that Matt's best friend is happy with everything that happened in his best friend's life recently. Just looking at him, Kelly was just shocked at the fact that his best friend got so damn lucky. I mean, he got this boat; he's got a great amount of money, and just the perfect life. Can't he at least share some of the money that he got with him?

Well, he is in a way; and that would be by the way of him paying his employees money, which he was definitely doing now. And Kelly was at least happy that was the case. Still, that didn't mean that Kelly was completely happy. Turning to look at his best friend as he helped him pack up the kitchen, Kelly sighed. "You know I still hate you right?" Turning to look at his best friend as he stood up after putting some food in the fridge, Matt was confused. "What are you talking about?" Kelly just looked at him, laughing. "First you get almost $26 million from your dad. Then, your dad's late secret wife dies; and you get $250 million. I mean, what are the odds that you actually get ALL of that?" Matt laughed as he heard his best friend when he said that. "Trust me man, don't think that I actually like the fact that I inherited this money from my dad." Kelly was confused when he heard his best friend say that, unsure as to why that would be the case. "Ok. I really don't understand why that would be the case."

Matt laughed as he got up and closed the fridge, ready to tell his friend. "May I remind you that my father was abusive? That means that I inherited all of this money from the man who abused me." Kelly then thought about it. "So, I had to get abused so that I could get this money." Kelly then thought about it and agreed with Matt when he said that. "So, I am not saying that I don't love the fact that I don't have to work if I don't want to; but that doesn't mean whatsoever that I don't plan on working, because I really can't just sit around and do nothing. That's not me, nor will it ever be me." Kelly agreed with Matt when he said that, well aware that was the case. "Plus, you have worked so hard on that company to not keep working there. And I mean it when I say that you've done such a great job, and I'm really impressed." Matt agreed with Kelly when he said that, smiling as that was definitely the case. "And I'm glad that you're okay with me just taking this time with Gabby, away from the kids."

Kelly smiled when he heard his best friend say that, well aware that he really needs to take this time away with Gabby; time away from life in Hawaii, and from their sons. "Matt, you really do not need to say that. I mean it when I say that. I understand that you need to take this time away with Gabby. You need to be with your wife for a while, and you need to relax with her away from the world. I think that this is something that you definitely need to do, and I am sure that you guys are going to really enjoy this time together; plus, you're on the ocean." Matt agreed with his best friend when he said that, smiling at him. That was, until he heard his first officer come downstairs. "Mr. Casey?" Turning his head, Matt smiled when he saw first officer Christopher Davis. "How are you Chris?" Chris smiled as he walked over to his boss, going to shake his hand. "How are you doing? I wanted to let you know that we're ready to go whenever you are." Matt agreed with his First Officer.

"Thank you. Unfortunately, I am not ready yet. I still need to go get my wife and everything." Davis agreed with his boss. "Would you like me to do anything while you're gone?" Matt smiled as he heard Chris ask him that. "Can you please just make sure that we're all filled up and the pools are ready? Also, make sure that the food is all good." The first officer agreed with his boss when he said that, well aware that it was critical for him to get the food ready. "Of course, and I can't wait to meet your wife." Matt agreed with him when he said that, smiling as he was well aware of the fact that Gabby truly is somebody that his entire staff loves; but not as much as he loves her of course, as she's the love of his life and the mother of his children. "So, what are the odds that you get her pregnant again?" Matt was shocked when he heard Kelly say that. "Dude, we just had the boys six weeks ago. She's nowhere near ready to have more kids until at least next year she said." Kelly agreed with Matt.

"I was kidding man. I already know that Gabby wants to concentrate on her work for now, and just make some designs. By the way, are you guys..." Matt nodded. "We have internet on here. So, I am sure that we'll work at some point." Kelly agreed with Matt when he said that. "So, do you have to go pick Gabby up? Or what's happening?" Matt smirked when he heard Kelly ask him that. "Camila is driving her here. I told her that I wanted her here, and I told her that I already said goodbye to the boys. I just told her that I wanted my wife here, as I already made sure that we have enough clothes; and I also asked your wife to make sure that she was dressed appropriately if you know what I mean." Kelly laughed when he heard Matt say that, well aware of what he was talking about. "Then you should ask her to drive Gabby here since I drove you here, then we can drive together; and you can have your car here when you get back on land." Matt thought about it, and agreed with Kelly.

"Smart man." Kelly agreed with Matt as he said that, before smiling as he knew that he definitely was a smart man. "Hey, you pay me the big bucks to make sure that I give you the best ideas." Matt agreed with his best friend when he said that, before smiling. "Here, call your wife and tell her what's happening." Kelly agreed with his best friend, going to do just that for him.

At the same time at the Casey Home, Honolulu:
She was currently helping her best friend pack up some clothes for her weekend away, including a nice bikini and swimwear to take a nice swim with her husband. And let's just say that the swimwear that her best friend was packing was making her furious; she already has her body back, and she's shocked. "How in the world did you get your body back after just six weeks? I mean, you seriously just gave birth girl!" Turning to look at her best friend, Gabby laughed due to the fact that she was well aware of the fact that she hated that she was already looking this good. "Girl, it's called working out. I'll give you my workout routine." Stella agreed with Gabby when she said that, before watching as she walked away. At the same time, Stella heard her phone ring. Going to see that her husband, the wife smiled. "Hey Gabby, I'm going to take this outside okay?" Gabby laughed. "Let me guess, you want to flirt with your husband?" Stella laughed, agreeing with her best friend when she said that.

She then proceeded to get up and went to rush up to the top deck of her best friend's home, that way she can talk to her husband without Gabby hearing the plans that they have for the weekend; Matt specifically told her that this was to be a surprise, and that he would not appreciate Stella telling Gabby what they were going to be doing this weekend. And that was why she decided to make her way upstairs. Just walking up to the rooftop deck, Stella sighed due to the fact that she missed her husband's call. So, she went ahead and called him back so that she can see what he wants. Putting her phone up to her ear after calling him back, Stella took a breath. "Let me guess, couldn't answer the call?" Stella laughed as she heard her loving husband ask her that. "I was in the primary suite. I needed to get away from Gabby so that she didn't find out what you guys are doing for the weekend." The CEO agreed with his employee when she said that, really appreciating what she did.

"Thanks Stella." Stella agreed with the CEO, smirking. "So, are you calling to tell me that you guys are on the way so that you can get Gabby?" Matt then spoke up. "Actually, I originally asked Camila to drive her here. But I just thought about it, and Kelly needs a ride back to your place; he came here in my car. So, I was thinking that you could drive Gabby here; and then take Kelly home." Stella agreed with the CEO when he said that, the facts making sense when it comes to what they need to do so that she can get her husband home. "Well, I can see that working. So, I will drive her there and make sure not to spill what's happening." Matt agreed. "You better not, because I want to surprise my wife." Stella agreed. "And I promise. Now listen, get that place ready, and I will be there soon." Matt agreed with his wife's best friend when she said that, glad that both of their best friends were helping them get a weekend away from their sons; which is definitely what they need right now.

They need to take some time away from their life, and they needed to just be alone for a while. Hanging up her phone, Stella smiled as she was really happy for her best friend; and she already knew that she was definitely going to be enjoying this time with her husband. This time where they would concentrate on each other and just be alone for the weekend, which they desperately need to take so that they can concentrate on their marriage for a while; which they'll definitely do.
