Hi!
I cannot believe how long it's been since I last posted it felt like last week.
Finally I have finished the next chapter and the next one definitely won't take a year. (I know i said that last time but this time it's true!)
I hope you still want to read this, i completely understand if you don't. As a reader i know how frustrating it is when someone takes ages to post more chapters!
I've started a new story as well which hopefully I will post a chapter of soon.
I've found it hard to find an editor but finally I've found a fantastic one.
So thank you so much to Outofshadows for transforming my work. She's a fantastic editor and I can't thank her enough!
Anyways here it finally is. Enjoy!
As always i love feedback so keep it coming.

Honey had spent the last couple of days lying in bed feeling sorry for herself.
Krystal storming in on the party had ruined it for her, before that, she had great fun with Matt, getting to really know more about him.
He had been telling her about his enviable dance moves,which she had very much wanted to see, when Krystal walked in.
Just as she was thinking about what those dance moves would look like, she heard her name shouted out loud.
"Honey! Honey! HONEY!"
"Alright, I'm coming Cece," she shouted back.
She shuffled down the hall in her white bunny slippers, pink dressing gown and pink dotted satin pajama set.
"Whats the matter, Cece?"
"You have a visitor, Hon," Cece smiled.
And there right in front of her was Matt, looking like he had just walked off of the cover of GQ. He was in a pale blue shirt, its first two buttons undone and grey suit trousers. His hair perfectly coiffed and those beautiful eyes smiling at her.
"Hey Honey," he spoke softly, looking her right in the eye.
"Hey Matt" she replied, shying away from his gaze. Then she caught sight of her appearance in the mirror.
She looked horrendous, no make up, her hair in a giant top knot. She wanted the ground to swallow her up, he was standing there looking like Adonis and she was in her kiddy pajamas.
"How are you?"
"I'm good, thank you, Matt. I've even started walking faster," she said excitedly, trying to move past how ridiculous she looked.
"Well, that's perfect because I want to take you out for the day. I think we should go to the zoo." He smiled.
"Yeah I'd love to. I mean... umm, sure, it sounds like fun. Just let me go and get dressed. I'll be as quick as I can."
She didn't want to sound too eager. But she couldn't think of anything she wanted to do more than spend the day with him.
With that, she walked back down the corridor.

"So Matt, the zoo seems like an odd choice of places to go? I didn't think you even liked the zoo?" Cece teased.
"I remembered her saying at the party that she hadn't been there before. So I thought it would be nice if she could walk around at her own pace and rest whenever. I brought a picnic too." he beamed.
"Well, look at you, acting all romantic. In all seriousness, Matt, I know you like her and she is very fond of you, but you are married. Your wife is the devil incarnate and I couldn't care less if she got hurt. Hell, I think I'd enjoy it. But not Honey, she's fragile. I may be your sister, but she is my best friend and she means so much to me."
"So, if this whole thing is just you trying to get into her pants, you need to stop. She is not a toy. However if you like her, I mean really like her, then you need to do something about the status of your marriage, because I know what Honey is like and she will not be your bit on the side. I don't necessarily mean right now, but you need to think about what you want and how you're going to achieve it ." Cece said barely stopping for breath.
Matt just stood there, mouth agape, unable to speak.
'Had his sister really just said all that to him?' he thought.
It really gave him some food for thought. He knew he had to make some kind of decision on the matter, he had simply pushed it to the back of his mind.
There were more than a few reasons for this including; fear, what if she didn't love him. Routine, he and Krystal had been together for years. But the overriding reason was his concern regarding what Krystal would do to her, Krystal was so manipulative. He didn't want Honey to come into contact with that aspect of his wife's character. She'd been hurt enough already.
Honey walking back into the room broke him out of his dazed state.
She looked so beautiful that seeing her made his heart beat just that little bit faster.
She was wearing a knee length peach sundress with tie up straps, brown wooden heeled wedges and a little flower print jacket. Her hair was tied to the side in a messy fishtail plait with a cute peach bow clipping her fringe to the side. She wore minimal makeup, just a little mascara and clear lipgloss. She looked perfect.
"Wow, you look stunning" he said instinctively.
She blushed, looking at her shoes with an embarrassed smile "Thank you, are you ready to go?"
"Yeah, I'll drop her back safe and sound. Don't worry, Cece."
"Don't bring her back too late." She giggled.
