Silent Trip
“I kissed him. I kissed Christian Reigns. Oh mine, this changes everything, right? Am I in love with him now?” Mandy paced around the room when the door opened and her mother-in-law walked in.
“Good morning Mrs. Reigns,” she greeted formally and you could notice the hurt in her eyes.
“Mandy?” She called her warmly.
“Have I done something wrong?”
“What do you mean?” Mandy was worried by the question.
“You keep addressing me formally when we are a family. Can you please call me Anna, if mom is a lot for you,” the genuineness in her eyes made Mandy rethink the whole time she was being so formal with her and felt awful.
“Mom,” Anna smiled at her, and you could see clearly that it gladdens her heart to hear it. She liked Mandy since she looked her up on the internet and noticed her great achievement, and with the little time they spent together, she was beginning to get more in line with her…
“You are such a lovely soul,” she rubbed her cheeks and clapped her hands when a maid entered with a suitcase.
“I hope you don’t think about this weirdly. But I got your measurements from your secretary and she informed me of some of your favorite colors,” she stated and opened the suitcase.
“So I did some shopping with my assistant and we got you this for your honeymoon. It has Christian’s favorite colors and yours. I know you youngsters like to feel really sexy and I made sure I got all the cool stuff,” she pushed the suitcase to Mandy whose eyes almost plugged out of her socket.
The suitcase was filled with lingerie and things. She looked at her mother-in-law’s list of words while she nodded her head trying to hide the terrified look she had on.
“These are perfect, Thank you, Mom,” she said in a whisper tone, while Anna patted her back smiling.
“I’m glad you liked it. I’ll leave you to pack. But please remember to use it,” She gave her a wink and immediately she left, Mandy coughed taking in a deep breath…
“What just happened?” She asked herself and zipped the suitcase.
She signed and started to get dressed as they would soon be leaving for the resort their parents booked for them…
“Hey? Are you ready?” Christian walked into the room, and she nodded, grabbing her purse.
“Alright let’s go,” he said and left her to drag her luggage and she looked at the door in anger…
“Oh now he’s behaving awkwardly, what a great way to start our trip,” she scoffed, and a maid walked in on her glaring. She fixed her face and gave her suitcase to her while walking behind her…
“You both have a lot of fun,” Mrs. Reigns said to them and waved them goodbye as they got into the car…
The ride to the airport was silent, they glanced at each other at intervals without saying anything and thought that would change during their flight. Both were quiet until they slept their way through it. It was pathetic, but none of them could be the bigger person and say something. They both couldn’t form the right words in their heart to say so they relied on the glances they stole at each other…
“Welcome Mr. and Mrs. Christian Reigns,” their attendant smiled so warmly at them.
“Would you like any drink?” She asked but they shook their heads.
“I guess you must be tired. I’ll take you to your room then,” she offered and started to walk while talking about the resort and its fine dining…
“These are your key cards, it’s so lovely to have you both here. Congratulations on your wedding,” she smiled brightly, before leaving them to themselves.
Christian who received the key card immediately opened the door and pushed it further open for her to get in.
“Wow,” Mandy gasped at the first look at it. The room was big and everything in it was exquisite. The interior decorations, the choice of color, and the paintings on the wall, everything was ethereal…
“This is amazing,” Chris said from behind her, smiling, and she turned to stare at him, her eyes locked. She looked at him and she felt her heart racing a bit.
“I’ll go set my things,” she coughed and quickly ran off from his presence…
“So what do you want to do first?” He asked and she rubbed the back of her neck before going back to organize her stuff properly…
“I think I’m just going to rest in here, You can go do your thing if you like, it’s not like you want me to join or anything,” She shrugged her shoulders, and she could feel him lingering behind her.
“Okay, I feel we should talk about the kiss,” he said and she turned around to look at him…
“There’s nothing to talk about, it’s just a kiss. The end,” She started to walk away while Christian chuckled and pulled her by her hand.
“Are you nervous, tough girl,” he smiled at her and she looked at the floor instead of staring at him.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” she said in defense, when he lifted her chin up, making her look at him.
“I enjoyed the kiss, and it wasn’t nothing to you,” he smiled and her eyes glowed hearing him say that.
“I don’t know about you, maybe it meant nothing to you and I don’t care, cause I’m going to make sure you feel the same way I feel towards you,”
“And just to put it out there, I won’t ask for your permission to kiss you again. I’ll do it anytime, anywhere even now,” she moved backward while he chuckled…This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Relax, maybe not now but soon,” he smiled slowly, pulled away, and started to walk out the door.
“I’ll be back, don’t miss me so much wife,” he smiled and shut the door when Mandy fell flat on the sofa beside her.
“What is happening?” She held her mouth, smiling sheepishly…
