Episode 21
Dominic POV✨✨✨
We arrived at The Silk h0tel in Venice.
This was one of the five stars h0tels in Italy that surrounded by the eye stunning beaches, historical places, and nice restaurants which bring a ro-mantic ambiance for the couple especially at night. I can’t wait to have dinner with her tonight.
“This is stunning,” she said scanning the view of the h0tel.
I can see her smile satisfied with the place that I choose.
“You love it?” I asked even though I can re-ad her answer from her smile. Just to be proud that she loves the choice that I made. She hummed a response.
A bellman carries our luggage from the car and leads us to the check-in counter for the check-in process. I show the receptionist my pas-sport and she types something on the deskt©p in front of her.
A few minutes later, she informed us of the room number and pas-sed the key card to the bellmen as he will lead the way and bring the luggage to our room.
The bellmen walked in front of us while I hold Ara’s hand in my palm. She tried to re-lease my hand and as usual, the persistent me won’t let it go easily. At last, she gave up and goes with my flow.
We walk hand to hand till we reached our room. It makes me smile happily from ear to ear. Now, we are like a real couple and I’m satisfied with that.
“Can you let go of my hand now?” She asked once the bellmen left the room and closed the door behind. I raised my eyebrows pretended not to un-derstand what she said.
“Hand,” she repeated while her eyes gazed at our hand.
“What if I said no?” I purposely tea-sed her which make her do something out of my expectation.
She kicked my leg and I instantly re-leased my grip on her hand.
“Ouch,” I scowled and ru-bbe-d my leg.
“Feisty! I like,” I said chuckled at her action.
She placed both hands on her h!ps and sm-irked at me satisfied with her own move that saved her tiny hand. Well, just for a while. I will get that back.
“Try me again and you will see,” she warned.
“Can’t wait.” I grinned.
She looks around at the room. There is a living room with a black leather sofa and a small table in the middle which completed with a flat TV.
A bar with drinks can be found at the corner of the living room. We moved out of the living room and walked to another room.
A king-size be-d was placed nearby the big window which showed clearly the beauty of the country. The bathroom was hvge which completed with a Jacuzzi and bathtub.
I saw she furrowed her eyebrows and looked at me.
“What?” I asked lifted a brow tried to re-ad her mind.
“Why only one be-d?” I just shook my head at her question. As expected.
“It’s a honeymoon, sweetheart. Why do we nee-d two be-ds?”
“Let me remind you that our honeymoon is different. You know we are not here for a real honeymoon.”
“Well, I’m not sure about you but I can as-sure you that I’m here for a real honeymoon,” I said smiling at her.
“Are you a gentleman?” She asked out of the blue which makes me confused.
“No doubt,” I said confidently.
“Then you will sleep on the couch while I sleep on the be-d,” she said, ma-king me almost drop my jaw.
“No, no, no. That’s not going to happen even in your dream.” I said refused her command.
“You said you are gentlemen so prove it,” she said challenging me. Oh, I un-derestimate her.
“I can prove my gentlemen by doing other things,” I moved closer to her and she stepped few steps back s-en-sed the n@ûghty look in my eyes.
“Don’t do anything crazy,” she pointed her index f!nger as if the f!ngerscan st©p me from coming closer to her. I ignored her.
“Dominic Duncan!” Yeah, as always. Whenever she feels angry or annoyed she will shout my full name which made me laughed. I just loved the way my name t©uçhed her ton-gue.
Say it again, baby!
She avoided me and ran to the other side when she s-en-sed that I almost caught her. And as you know I never allow her to win.
This is the way to mark her as mine. I chased her into the room but she ran quic-kly and she jumped on the be-d make the decoration on the be-d become messy.
Now we are both standing face to face to each other tried to catch our breath. We are separated by the be-d. She holds her palm calling for a st©p.
“Wait..wait,” she tried to catch her breath.
“Let me rest for a while,” she pleaded with her cute breathless face while I let out a laugh mesmerized by how childish our life could be.
“Five, four, three, two..” I started to count which make her nervous.
“No, wait….” she said tried to escape but realized that she has nowhere to go.
I caught her and pu-ll her to me and I purposely make her fall on the be-d. The roses on the be-d fli-pped up and some of them fall on our bodies.
I tickled her which make her bur-st out with laughter and tried to escaped my grip but failed eventually.
“Hahaha, Dominic let go of me.” She giggled begged me to let her. I st©p and wra-pped her b©dy in my grip.
I turned her b©dy which makes her back lying on the soft foam of the be-d while I jailed her by placing both hands beside her make sure not to press my weight on her.
She still tried to catch her breath while the laughter slowly died from herl-ips as I stared at her.
She bit herl-ips tried to control her breathing and I smiled at her action. Nervous, which I can s-en-se clearly.
“Don’t bite yourl-ips,” I hauled down my face and whispered which make her blu-shed.
“Why?” She asked innocently.
“I’m worried I can’t resist it,” I said admitting the de-sire. She slowly re-leased herl-ips.
“So, can we share a be-d tonight?” I asked her in a slow tone. It makes my heart beat danced in abnormal rhythm and I love it when she placed her hand on my che-st to put a distance between us.
Little that she knows that I can easily re-move her hand away and defeat her with myl-ips.
She shook her head as a no but I purposely move my face closer to her and as defend she shielded her mouth with her palm.
“Answer,” I demanded. She nodded helplessly and I placed a quic-k k!sson her forehead.
“Good wife,” I said satisfied with her answer.
She pushed me away from his b©dy and immediately ran away from the be-d.
“You nee-d to keep your promise,” she suddenly spoke.
“Let me think about it,” I said sitting on the edge of the be-d and acted to be in de-ep thought.
“Which promise?” I pretended just to see her reaction.
“That,” she said slowly pointed to the be-d tried to make me recall the promise. I furrowed my eyebrows tried to tease her.
“Argh, I don’t want to talk to you anymore,” she chided and looked pissed. She stomped and walked away from the room but I ran quic-kly to her.
“Hey, hey,” I called her tried to get her back before she really ignores me. I st©pped her and spun her b©dy to face me.
“No worries, ok. I promised. As I said, we will take this slowly. I’m just kidding.” I convinced her and she looked at me to get an as-surance. I nodded with a smile and she gritted happily.
Women indeed are weird creatures. I mumbled in my heart. Just like a book, it fli-pped to the next pages in a second.
“Perfect! Now let’s go for food hunting. I’m out of battery,” she said full of energy which makes me laughed.
The rest of our honeymoon trip went smooth as I wanted it to be. We went sightseeing, food hunting, visiting nice places and sle-pt together on the same be-d but with pillows as a barrier, pathetically!
Take one step at a time! My inner voice reminded me.
You never leave me alone, don’t you? I scolded in my heart.
Episode 22
Arabella POV✨✨✨
It has been four months since I carried the title of the wife as Mrs. Duncan.
Nothing changed between us, we still sleep in our own be-d, eating together, spending weekends together, and he as always never tired of teasing me.
I guess that bec@m£ p@rt of his routine and I’m kinda getting used to his pla-yful characteristic.
Strange but I admit that most of the time he makes me feel comfortable and secure. Probably because I know that he won’t do anything harmful to me.
The phone ringtone caught my attention and I slid to the green arrow to answer the call.
“Hey, babe.”
“Babe, are you sure you want to meet him? Don’t you scare that he will do anything bad to you? What if he sl@ps you, punches you, kicks you, or kidnap you?!”
She said with a high pitch tone on the line. I can s-en-se her worries. Well, that’s my bestie.
“Jess, calm down plea-se,” I begged while my eyes still focus on the road.
“How can you expect me to calm down when you agree to meet that beast,” she said in an angry tone. I knew she wasn’t angry at me.
“It’s ok, babe. I will meet him at the cafe.
That is a public place and during day time I believe he won’t dare to do anything harmful to me. Trust me, okay? I just nee-d to let this end,” I said tried to convince her.
“Did Dominic know about this? Did you tell him?”
“No, I don’t think I should tell him. I don’t want him to get involve and it’s not a big deal anyway. We just nee-d to clear some unsettle issues between us.”
“Yeah, I know but better to let him know in case anything happens to you.”
“I will be fine. I promise. I will text you when everything is done.”
“Ok, if you insist. Do take care of yourself.”
“Talk to you later. Bye, babe.” I ended the call and silently battle with myself if I should let Dom know about this meeting.
At last, I decided not to disturb him during his working time and I didn’t inform him about this.
I parked the car at the parking lot and walked to the cafe that he mentioned earlier.
I looked around tried to sp©t the guy that wanted to meet me here and I stepped forward when I saw the familiar figure sitting next to the table at the corner wearing his black suit.
“Hi,” I called him to get his attention. He turned his head to me and s£nds me a smile.
“Hi, Ara,” he greeted back and I take a sit in front of him.
“Let’s order something to eat first,” he said and called the waiter for the order. I just nodded and we order something for our lunch.
“So, how are you?” He asked looking at me curiously.
“As you can see, well,” I answered honestly which he nodded in return.
“So, why do you want to meet me here?” I asked straight to the point.
“I want to say sorry. I know I was a j£rk before.
I hurt you and made you in pain. I’m really sorry for everything that I have done to you before,” he apologized and I can s-en-se his sincerity.
“Why so sudden?”
He sighed before answering me. “I have been caught by police a few months ago. You know, because of the drug.
My add!çtion getting worst from day to day and I just can’t live a moment without it. It made my life turned upside down including my career.
Now, I’m still un-der treatment but it is getting better and I’m back to my work and free from drugs,” he explained clearly which I nodded. This explained why he didn’t bother me for the past few months.
“It makes me realized how stupid I was for losing you and I don’t deserve you. I’m glad that you are married to someone better than me. I am nothing to compare to him,” he said in a sad tone and looked away.
“Matt,” I called his name which makes him looked at me. “It was the drug that turned you to be like that and I’m glad now you are un-der treatment to make yourself free from the drug.
We are not meant to be together and believe me you will find someone good to be with you. It’s just a matter of time,” I patted his hand to encourage him.
We talked casually as a friend while having lunch.
I can’t believe that I spend my one-hour lunch break meeting with my ex-b©yfri£ndthat used to abuse me.
I am glad that he repents and willing to change for a better life. Finally, I reached the last page of the bad chapter in my life.
