Episode 21

Dominic POV???
We arrived at The Silk Hotel in Venice.

This was one of the five stars hotels in Italy that surrounded by the eye stunning beaches, historical places, and nice restaurants which bring a romantic 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 hotel.

I can see her smile satisfied with the place that I choose.

“You love it?” I asked even though I can read 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 passport and she types something on the desktop in front of her.

A few minutes later, she informed us of the room number and passed 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 release 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 understand what she said.

“Hand,” she repeated while her eyes gazed at our hand.
“What if I said no?” I purposely teased her which make her do something out of my expectation.

She kicked my leg and I instantly released my grip on her hand.
“Ouch,” I scowled and rubbed my leg.

“Feisty! I like,” I said chuckled at her action.
She placed both hands on her hips and smirked 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 bed was placed nearby the big window which showed clearly the beauty of the country. The bathroom was huge 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 read her mind.

“Why only one bed?” I just shook my head at her question. As expected.

“It’s a honeymoon, sweetheart. Why do we need two beds?”
“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 assure 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 bed,” she said, making 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 underestimate her.

“I can prove my gentlemen by doing other things,” I moved closer to her and she stepped few steps back sensed the naughty look in my eyes.

“Don’t do anything crazy,” she pointed her index finger as if the fingers can stop 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 touched her tongue.

Say it again, baby!
She avoided me and ran to the other side when she sensed 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 quickly and she jumped on the bed make the decoration on the bed become messy.

Now we are both standing face to face to each other tried to catch our breath. We are separated by the bed. She holds her palm calling for a stop.

“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 pull her to me and I purposely make her fall on the bed. The roses on the bed flipped up and some of them fall on our bodies.

I tickled her which make her burst 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 stop and wrapped her body in my grip.

I turned her body which makes her back lying on the soft foam of the bed 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 her lips as I stared at her.

She bit her lips tried to control her breathing and I smiled at her action. Nervous, which I can sense clearly.

“Don’t bite your lips,” I hauled down my face and whispered which make her blushed.

“Why?” She asked innocently.
“I’m worried I can’t resist it,” I said admitting the desire. She slowly released her lips.

“So, can we share a bed 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 chest to put a distance between us.

Little that she knows that I can easily remove her hand away and defeat her with my lips.

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 quick kiss on her forehead.

“Good wife,” I said satisfied with her answer.
She pushed me away from his body and immediately ran away from the bed.

“You need to keep your promise,” she suddenly spoke.
“Let me think about it,” I said sitting on the edge of the bed and acted to be in deep thought.

“Which promise?” I pretended just to see her reaction.

“That,” she said slowly pointed to the bed 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 quickly to her.

“Hey, hey,” I called her tried to get her back before she really ignores me. I stopped her and spun her body 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 assurance. I nodded with a smile and she gritted happily.

Women indeed are weird creatures. I mumbled in my heart. Just like a book, it flipped 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 slept together on the same bed 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.
