Hot Coffee (The Hollens)

Ethan's POV

I watched as she brushed her hair in the mirror. She had been giving me the silent treatment since we returned to the room last night from the walk on the beach. She was upset that I wasn't excited for our wedding.

When did I say we'd get married here? Sharon was a beautiful woman, outgoing, cheerful and sweet at times but, lately, things had been different between us. She was becoming someone I never knew existed, nagging and possessive.

I was rash when I proposed to her because I wanted to make a good impression on my parents when they came back from their anniversary in Paris. Although I didn't do things to please them, because I didn't see much of them when I was a kid, I wanted to at least assure my parents that I was capable of settling down. 

But was I in love with Sharon? Did I love her? Yes. But I wasn't sure I was in love with her.

I knew she was upset. Who wouldn't be? But I just wasn't ready to get married on a vacation. I always wanted a big wedding with all the trimmings, with my friends and family from around the globe. Not a beach wedding with just me and her and some employees from my mother's hotel. She couldn't seem to understand that.

"Shar, how long are you going to keep this up?" The question was overdue.

No answer.

"Sharon, I'm talking to you. Baby, you just don't seem to understand what I was trying to say to you."

"I understand perfectly, you don't want to get married to me!" she finally spoke.

"What are you talking about?" I asked with a sigh.
