Isla's Guys Chapter 14 - FINALE!

KIERAN'S POINT OF VIEW
I could kill Jack and bloody hell I didn't even get to tell Is that Poppy and I have split up. I look at Jack who is lying sprawled out on the floor and say 'Are you happy now? Look what you've caused.'

I manage to hear him say 'Why do you even care? You made her upset, you should have told her yourself.'

'I honestly can't understand you. Why would you risk everything with Isla? Because unlike you, I love her and in a way I am very grateful towards you for making Isla see what a scumbag you are because now I can be with her and treat her like the princess she's been deprived of being by being with you.'

Now where the hell did she run off to?

ISLA'S POINT OF VIEW
Ok, ok, I'm finally at the beach and pull up in the parking bays, pay and walk down onto the beach. It's pretty empty except for a few dog walkers, toddlers with their parents and one couple. It's coming up to three o'clock, so it's still hot with the sun high in the sky. Peace. Absolute peace. I'd live on the beach if I could. I take my shoes off and sit down watching the waves come in and out. It's so mesmerizing. I take my cardigan off and sit on it, sitting contently for half an hour until I see a man approaching me. I'm through with men. I seriously mean that! I still can't believe Jack actually cheated on me again. Did I mean that little to him? The guy comes closer and I know who it is. Why is he here?

'I am so so sorry Is.' Kieran says to me, looking every bit the gorgeous sun-God in front of me.

'How did you find me?' How the hell did he find me? This is supposed to be a secret.

'I asked Tyger.' Oh Tyger, the one decent man I still have in my life.

'Please leave me alone Kieran. I need to cool down and think things through.'

'I am so sorry I didn't tell you before that happened.'

'Yes well thanks for that. Being publicly humiliated in front of everyone is just the way I want to find out I've been cheated on once again.'

'You know what this means, don't you?'

'That I'll never live it down.'

'No, it means you're single again.'

I throw him an evil glare. Satanist. 'Thanks for the reminder.'

He grins. 'But you won't be for much longer.' Is he enjoying my pain?

'I don't want pity Kieran, so if you don't mind...' He sits at the base of my feet and says 'Isla, Poppy and I split up last night.'

My jaw drops and I look up at him. Is he kidding?

'I told Poppy how I feel for you and we ended it.'

'And, how do you feel?'

He grins at me then says 'I'll only tell you if you say you will go the leaver's ball with me tomorrow and forgive me for not telling you sooner.'

I look at him and my heart skips a beat. I smile and give a small nod (was I ever not going to! I think not!) and he goes on 'I think you know already what I'm going to say, but I'll say it anyway, Isla, I absolutely love you and I don't want to spend another second of my life without having you in it.' I look away in shyness, but he moves my head back with his terribly bruised hand, smiling before saying again 'I love you so so much Is.'

And for the first time, I feel as if I can say it back to the guy I've always loved, ever since kissing him, but could never have. 'I love you too.' With that, Kieran pulls me into his arms, falling back onto the sand giggling and kisses me passionately for the first time as his girlfriend and let me tell you, I think I might be his last.

EPILOGUE ONE YEAR ON
It's Friday morning and it is my birthday today! I'm 19 and back home with my family. I'm woken up not only by the beautiful June sun, but by my best friend Poppy. 'Happy Birthday Is!' She squeals at me, shaking me to wake me up. Even though we're 19, Poppy and I still have sleepovers. As you can tell, Poppy and I are the best of friends again. But it wasn't easy. We had a LOT to go over. From her original cheating, to our breakdown in communication, to me being with Kieran; it took a whole day of tears, tantrums and eventually smiles, all ending in forgiveness. When you love someone unconditionally, you can't help but forgive and forget if you love someone that much, then the past and problems are history. As for Jack, well he got in a lot of trouble for messing with so many girls. He apologized and said he was genuinely sorry and I actually believed him that time. As for what he's doing now, well, he's at uni studying psychology, trying to understand what possesses the male mind to cheat! No, I'm joking, but he is doing psychology-but I do think it would be worthwhile someone looking into that. Don't you?

'Come on! You've got prezzies to open and we need to get ready.' She says all excitedly. I grin and sit up in bed, shuffling over so Poppy can sit next to me as I open the presents from her. 'I hope you like them.'

'Of course I will!' And I do. Poppy had got us both a Tiffany's friendship bracelet each. Bless her.

'Let me put yours on.'

'Thanks Poppet.' I kiss her cheek, then open the other present which is the dress that I had pointed out AGES ago. I truly am spoiled. 'Thank you so much Poppy.' She blushes and gives me a hug.

'You're welcome. Now come on. Everyone'll be here soon.'

So I get into my gorgeous new dress and Poppy looks effortlessly stunning in her maxi dress. We go into the garden where my mom and step-dad are getting the BBQ ready for my gathering of close friends. I then hear the doorbell and waste no time legging it to the door to see who it is. I open it and it's Lee-Poppy's boyfriend. 'Hello birthday girl.' He gives me a cheesy grin and a peck on the cheek. 'For you.' He says handing me my present and a couple of alcoholic beverages. I lead him through to the garden and Poppy giggles when she sees him. She is so love up its untrue.

'Honey, will you take a picture of me and Is please?' She asks him.

'You posers. Go on then.' So we do and Lee takes a couple of shots. 'There you go. Now where's my beer!' Poppy and Lee go off to prepare their drinks and no doubt kiss as the doorbell goes off again. I run to the door and open it to see a very special friend of mine.

'Tigger!' He opens his arms and hugs me as his stunning girlfriend stands behind. I pull away then hug Natasha, who I actually love. She is Tyger's One. I knew it from the first time he told me about her, and then when we were introduced-I was in tears! I was and still am ecstatic for them. Natasha is even rivaling Tyger's friendship with me. Not quite there, but very close. 'Come in you two.' Tyger lets Natasha through first like a true gentleman and she looks at him lovingly.

We all sit out in my garden laughing and chatting for a couple of minutes when the doorbell rings again. Poppy sees how excited I am as she watches me run to the door. I open it and there stands my guy. 'Happy birthday babe! Don't you look gorgeous?' I grin as Kieran lifts me up so my legs are wrapped around his waist as he kisses me everywhere around my face but my lips. I moan then he finally plants a long, slow kiss on my all too eager lips. I put my legs down and take his hand, but he stops me 'Wait a sec, I need to get your present.' He goes into my front garden and pulls out a huge bouquet of red roses with a bag of goodies too! 'For you.' I completely melt and give him one more kiss before going into the garden.

'What time do you call this?' Poppy teases. I am so glad she is able to do that with Kieran. It means a lot that she is Ok with me being with Kieran.

Kieran grins and says 'Yes I know I'm late, I was just a little busy, but don't worry, the entertainment has finally arrived.' Poppy smiles and kisses Kieran's cheek as she gets him a beer. I love them both so much.

We spend the whole day in the garden chatting and kissing with our beaus and belles until they all leave, except for Kieran. 'Come on. I've got a surprise for you.' He says.

'Ohhh what is it!'

'It's a surprise babe.' He says before kissing my forehead, taking me to his car. After an hour in his car, I know where we are. The beach. The place where we FINALLY got together. Kieran takes out a bag from the back of the car and says 'Come on Is.'

'What's in the bag?' I ask.

'Swimming stuff.' I laugh. 'It'll be freezing in the sea!'

'Not if you're with me. I'll warm you up.'

I bite my lip then whisper 'Will you now?'

He nods. 'You know I always make you feel hot.'

'Do you think so? Then how do you do that then?' I flirt, fluttering my lashes, even though I do not see the attractiveness in it!

'Oh by slowly kissing you, running my hands up and down your gorgeous body, whispering how much I love you in your ear usually does the trick.' He leans down and kisses me and I can feel his lips form a smile as I say 'You're so right.'

Kyle sits down in the sand and taps his lap for me to sit on. I do and Kieran begins to tenderly kiss my neck-my erogenous spot. He is unbelievable at making me, er, happy in many ways! 'Where do you think you'll be in ten years time?' I ask him whilst watching the sunset and waves come in and out. He stops kissing me and rests his head on my shoulder with his luscious curly hair falling next to my cheek.

'Honestly?' He asks.

I nod 'Yep, honestly tell me where you see yourself in ten years time.'

I can feel his face form a grin and he says 'Right, well by the time I'm 29 I'd like to be blissfully married, have a house, be financially stable, maybe have a kid or two.'
I nod. He is such a traditionalist-I love it!

'And all with you.' I pause then look at him as he goes on 'I know I'm going to be with you for the rest of my life babe, but only if you want me though. All I want is for you to be happy.'

I grin. I feel the need to tease my hopelessly romantic boyfriend. 'Well, if that's the case...'

He looks at me in shock, and then rolls me off his lap playfully onto the sand. 'I'm joking! You know I love you and I'm glad you said that because the only way I am ever going to be happy is with you.' I say cheesily, but really believe that. Kieran nods proudly then lays on top of me and begins to kiss me all over, making me laugh uncontrollably.

After several minutes of kissing, giggling, canoodling and frolicking, we stop and I lay next to Kieran resting on his chest. 'What are you thinking about?' He whispers to me, so I can still hear the sea. I smile; my favorite question.

'I'm thinking about how lucky I am to have you.' But what I don't tell him is that I'm already planning our future together; from our beach wedding, to our honeymoon, then our first house, celebrating anniversaries and then my personal favorite, how many kids we're going to have and what they're going to be called-fingers crossed they get his gorgeous hair! But before I can go on with my mental dream, Kieran says 'Likewise. Now come on daydreamer.' He says standing up. He helps me up and kisses me slowly, linking our fingers together as we walk off down the beach together, chatting and kissing like the couple everyone dreams of being and I couldn't be happy because I have Kieran who loves me more than I ever thought was possible. Love is just a word until someone you meet gives it a meaning and for me, that is Kieran and I absolutely love him for it.
