Authors note :

I got exited , so this is chapter 11 !

I wake up ,making fists rubbing the sleep from my eyes expecting to wake up in the passage... where i fell asleep . However , I wake up in our bedroom with the light creeping through the pale , blue curtains , Asher no where in sight .

I clutch the sheets and wrap them around me as my pajama shorts and tank top are not very warm , and  it is a bit nippy this morning .

I hear the sweet sound of a F chord . I find myself in the lounge , observing Ash play a song I have not heard before . It's sad but beautiful .

He looks up and gives me a dazzling smile . He then taps the piano bench . I walk over to him and sit down next to him .

"Good morning Taya ." He chime enthusiastically calling me by my second name , his fingers never leaving the piano . Suspicious .

"Good morning Dantè ." I use his second name looking him in his ocean eyes , searching for a clue as to why he is so chirpy this morning . Nothing .

"Play with me ?" I flush at his request ; I first listen to what he is plays then I create my own chord progression .

Before I know it , we are lost in the music , his chords so graceful and mine complimenting his until we form a base for a song .

"I like ; I like ," Bernard my managers voice echoes in our grand lounge ; I didn't even hear the door open or him entering .

"Morning Berny ."

"A good morning to you too Hererra ; it's ten o'clock why are you not dressed ?" He scolds me ; dressed for what ?

"Dressed for what exactly ?" I look at Ash only to see him look down guiltily . What did he do ?

"What did you do ?"

Before he can say anything , Berny cuts him off ," The plane leaves at half ten ; hello , people chop chop ."

I stand up , " You come here !" I pull Ash off the bench and drag him to our room .

"Look I thought it would be nice for us to go out some place just the two of us." We are getting a divorce for Pete's sake ! And , he wants a romantic get away .

Uhhhhhhh! He can be so frustrating sometimes .

"At such little notice !" I find myself saying . What is happening ? I'm supposed to be mad that he thinks he can just take me on a romantic get away just before our separation . But , noooooo , I am more mad at him for letting me know on such short notice .

His getting to me breaking my walls down , crumbling them to a single grain that can not be seen .

"I know ; I planned this last night when i carried you to bed ."

Is that supposed to make me feel better ? At the fact he did not just inconvenience me but the pilot . We may have a private jet but still !

Its only then i see his nervous , wringing his hands that I notice he is not wearing his ring . Where is his ring ?!

"Where is yo... your ring  ?" I stutter , I should feel happy ; instead . I feel it tug against my heart in an uncomfortable manner . A string  has been cut .

"Oh , that is another thing I thought would make this thing easier . I thought no rings ." He holds his palm out as if asking for my ring . He is ! A possessive nerve takes action , and I suddenly do not want to give it to him . It's a part of me . No . No. No ! His letting me go ; I did not think it was going to be this easy for him .

Why is it so hard for me all of a sudden  ?

This is so frustrating !

Blayke , you want the divorce just give him the ring !

I shimmy the ring off my finger ; it takes me a while to finally get it off , and i quote myself 'it became apart of me .'

I am already using past tense . Why am i panicking about this ?

It's what i want ; don't let Asher's present tense rub off on you .

It's good it became part of you meaning it was and no longer is a part of you .

It's going to be the past !

I am confusing myself !

Okay, okay just give him the ring .

I place the ring gently in his palm and he looks at it with so much adoration .

I didn't think it was going to be this easy that is what is confusing me : the fact he is letting me go so easily and the fact he cut a string .

He cut a string ! Be happy one less string holding you back ! I keep chanting in my head trying to calm my now jumpy nerves .

"Do i need to pack anything ?"

He chuckles ," Nope , Kate already packed while you were asleep . You just need to get ready and we can head out !"

Do i sleep that dead that i did not hear our staff in the cupboard packing a bag for me ?

"Shower it is , how much time do i have ?"

"Fifteen minutes tops , sorry for the last minute plans ." He smiles shyly at me .

Jeans or shorts ? Jeans and a tank top win .

"Mr and Mrs Alvera ," Chase  , the pilot greets us as we buckle our seat belts .

"Chase, thank you for being here on short notice ." Ash apologises .

"Not a problem , the weather is peachy ! Maui here we come !" Chase says enthusiastically .

Maui , we are going to the beach . I don't have a memory of the beach . Now i am exited !

"Hawaii ?" I raise a brow at him .

"Hawaii !" He smirks at me .

"Think of it as a summer vacation ." He sighs as we feel the plane lift off .

"You , me and a summer vacation ?" I giggle , and his eyes sparkle .

"You , me summer vacation ! "  He shouts into the empty cabin .

What is the worst that could happen ?
