Honeymoon - vacation taken by a newly married couple after their wedding. The definition clearly does not include me in the mix. It has been 7 whole days with me at my honeymoon alone. My family has left and so I'm all alone in this island, oh and also with Blake. I try to pretend he never existed to start with but it's so hard when all the hotel helpers talk about him. The old will talk about how nice and caring he is, while the young talk about how his the most handsome man ever. Pshh, if only they knew.
Today in the early morning I had a conference call with the pastor that I regularly go to whom by the way was acting really out of the ordinary. He was the one that was supposed to lead the wedding but he had an emergency and thus assigned another one to us. It's like he knew something was up but still didn't say a thing. The one thing he said that still puts me at uneasiness was, God works in mysterious ways and I will see the plan he has for my life, not now but someday. And that I should trust in the process.I don't know why he said those thing but maybe I will know. Talking to him helped me to feel much better. Today's scripture of the day is Isiah 55:9 and even though I had a lot of questions about the scripture regarding my current situation, I couldn't get them answered for I haven't told the pastor what really happened. Regardless, I got to learn a lot and feel my spiritual strength getting back.Anyways, I received my prize from the photography activity and got the picture framed in the hotel, exactly when you walk in! And the prize was a new camera - canon EOS 5D Mark IV + EF 24-105mm f4 L IS USM II - DSLR and wait for it- free food for the entire stay!!!! I know right, these people are geniuses."When are you going to stop looking at the picture as if it's your first time seeing it?" Blake appears from nowhere, whispering into my ear.Turning around, I take in the appearance of the crazed person before me. He is wearing a black well fitted shortsleeved shirt - that is revealing his huge arms and a black torn jean that does not hide his well shaped legs even when hidden - someone does not miss leg day."It's my work so I won't stop looking at it." I fake smile at him and walk out the hotel doors with no absolute clue of where I'm going. Might as well visit the famous spots again.Before I could rent one of the bikes from the hotel, Blake pulls my hand towards his car.I do exactly what my mind tells me to do, "Help!" I scream as loud as I could and miserably try to pull my hand out of the perpetrator's strong one. Getting really irritated, Blake picks me up and throws me over to his shoulder. My kicks and screams seems to be unheard to the human ears.With people watching and giggling, Blake pushes me into his car and also gets in. Before I could get angry at him, I get fascinated by the car I'm in. Being rich is super fun. You get to drive the most beautiful car inside and out. Feeling my body getting comfortable with the soft and very comfy seat of Blake's car, I instantly forget how I was forced into the car."Are you seriously having an intimate moment with my car seat?" Blake asks very weirded out."Obviously not," I roll my eyes at him but continue to adore the car. "I am just appreciating good things. And where are we going? I don't remember putting you in my agenda for the day. And don't you think it was sort of extra to bring a car to an island? A small one at that.""We are going somewhere nice, you look like you need a place to get your mind off things and you did put me in your agenda for the day, you just don't remember," he winks at me and smiles. "And I know that the island is small but do you want to walk for 2 hours?" Seeing the horrified look on my face he smiles even more, "I thought so."The drive was long, very long but comfortable. I got to see the beauty of nature once again. We passed a lot of brightly green trees that looked strong and full of life.The car abruptly comes to a stop and Blake exists with me following behind. What might look like an ordinary spot with trees suddenly becomes a dainty the moment Blake moves the long huge branches aside. A waterfall is visible from our standing area and deep water below us that look so clean with different colored leaves from the trees in it.I turn to look at Blake and almost give him the biggest warmest hug but stop myself when I see him standing before me with nothing but his underwear. Winking at me, he jumps straight into the water a lot of meters above from us. He hits the waters and after a few moments, he resurfaces after being in the water."COME IN! THE WATER IS AMAZING!" He yells at me."I CAN'T! I DON'T HAVE A SWIMMING SUIT!" I yell back."YOU DO! JUST UNDER YOUR CLOTHES!"Is he serious? Looking around I try to think of what to do but with nothing coming up, I unbutton my jeans and remain with only my underwear and white huge shirt that I had tucked in fashionably. I close my eyes and take a deep breath in before jumping from above down to the waters. You should've heard my terrified scream and seen how I was kicking my feet while in the air.But the water was warm and comforting, I guess Blake was right. Pulling my head out of the water, I find myself face to face with Blake. I can't pinpoint the look on his face but what I can pinpoint is how his stare causes my breath to hitch in my throat and my stomach to start knotting. What is going on with me?Blake shakes his head and after a while holds his breath and disappears under the water. The moment he vanished from my eyes, I could feel the force that made me to have no control over my body, weaken and gave me access to also disappear into the water and push away all the thoughts accumulating in my mind.After hours of splashing each other with water and swimming races, Blake and I finally got out. Thinking that we had to climb up for several more hours to reach where our clothes were, Blake made that thought disappear as there was a cave that would lead us back to our starting point. Because my shirt was wet, Blake borrowed me his and yes, it did look like a dress on me but still looked perfect. He wore my shirt so that he won't walk around only in his jeans but my poor shirt couldn't take his muscles that it ripped. Not in half but still ripped. After a lot of convincing he let me take some few pictures for my i***a of both the nature and me with nature.We returned back to the hotel and I never thought that a day will come whereby Blake and I would actually have fun. But I never ever thought that I would feel some type of way towards him.Thank God he has some business thing going on so he left my side the moment we reached the hotel. I on the other hand went to my room and had a long bath.Finished with the bath, I put on my gown and listen to my voicemails. Most are from my colleagues and boss who were congratulating me of such an amazing step in my life. And others are from mom while none from Steven. Sighing, I put my phone down and pick up the hotel's phone to make an order - a huge one.While waiting for my food to arrive, I moisturise my body and comb my hair but continue to stay in the gown."Room service!" A voice says on the other side of the door after three knocks. I sprint towards it and upon opening, I am instantly hit with the most amazing food aroma. Someone give the chefs some bells."Thank you." I smile at the young gentleman before me and take the food trolley from him.Opening the first dish, I am hit with the fresh smell of a pizza that looks delicious - didn't know fancy hotels could serve pizza but hey, who am I to complain? Opening the second dish, I'm hit with the mouthwatering smell of a mixture of lemon, brown chocolate and mint muffins with a custard on the side. The third dish has vanilla ice-cream. There is a bowl of strawberries and melted chocolate at the end of the trolley. Then there is a 100% orange juice waiting for me to pick up. I clap my hands in satisfaction and turn on my laptop for a great back to back watching of _Never Have I ever_… maybe this honeymoon isn't so bad after all.03:30, my watch reads. Where and why am I up at this time? Well, I am in a private jet going back home and I am up because of the boy with a crazy mind. Blake banged on my door at around two am shortly after I had finished my small one-person party and told me that we had to leave as soon as possible. He told me how he had to go back home and the thought of leaving me alone in the island does not sit well with me…I'm five years older than him, I am capable of taking care of myself and if I was willing, him too! He didn’t take me seriously even after throwing a lot of threats around and tantrums. I felt drained as he was not changing his mind so, I finally took a bath and followed him. It's sad how I left all the free food at the hotel.Looking over to my right side, I see the spiraled work on Blake’s desk and his concentration unmoved from the laptop lying on his lap. My eyelids start getting heavier and heavier until I finally drift off to sleep.*24hours later and we were off the je
“You can hear it in the silence- silence The silence - silenceYouuuuuYou can feel it on the way home - way home - way home - way home YouuuuuYou can see it with the lights out - light outs - lights out - lights outYou are in love - true love - you are in love”Taylor Swift's ‘you are in love’ song plays in the background as I hold a comb while on my bed as I continue pretending to be the one performing the song at the biggest stage known to men. Happiness is plastered all over my face and nothing can ruin this moment, no matter how hard the forces of this world tried.When I woke up, I just felt good. Feelings of positivity were surrounding me like guards surrounding their princess. It felt like something great was about to happen and even though I got a bit discouraged when the silent house greeted me instead of humans, I got much (much much much!!!!!!!) better when I got greeted by a mailman who had the marriage license documents and after thanking him a thousand times, I final
I left work early, around 3pm because we didn't have much work and people kept on bugging me to reveal who I married. I kept my mouth shut and threw the key away. Now I'm at the park taking pictures of almost everything. Photography doesn't focus on one thing. It's broad and you can take a shot of something simple like a falling leaf and turn it into a majestic beauty. The new camera is perfection!Focusing my lens, I capture a moment of a bird feeding it's offsprings. Satisfied with the number of shots and looking at the setting sun, I walk up to my car and drive back to the house. After planning the wedding and everything thoroughly, Steven suggested I move some of my things to the house and I agreed. Which is why instead of going to my apartment, I go to the Parker's house.I reach the house and everyone has left. Mr Thompson probably went to drop Mrs Claire and pick up Blake. I go to my room and take a quick shower then head towards the kitchen when I'm all warm.I start to prep
"You cooked and didn't leave some for me?" Mrs Claire asks quite offended.Pouring warm milk into my coffee, I give her the most apologetic look ever, "I'm sorry. You should blame Blake though. I know that I left some food after I dished up for us.""Us?" Her face plays a look of confusion."Yes, us. I ate supper with Blake.""Ah, I thought you ate it with Steven.""Nope, I didn't see him yesterday. Must be at work I guess." Mrs Claire nods her head and goes upstairs probably to check up on Blake. My phone vibrates on the table and the caller ID reads Stevie❤️"Hey." I say monotonous."Why weren't you answering your phone? I called multiple times.""I must have been sleeping Stevie." The nickname falls out before I could stop myself and I bite my bottom lip with what is to come next."How many times should I tell you not to call me that? Steven is just fine." He says in a very irritated manner."I'm sorry, I forget that at times.""It's fine. We are having lunch today, I'll meet you
"Are you alright?" Blake asks still holding my hand. Don't lie. The words roam in my mind as I debate on whether to lie and say yes or tell him the truth."Maybe? I mean I was alright, I was happy when I got here then next thing I know, I was left at the beginning of a date by Steven because of work so I don't know anymore, am I alright?" I try to sound my usual self but with my tears threatening to fall out and my down spirit, my voice comes out broken than ever."No, you're not alright. Steven is a douche-""No he isn't!" My voice comes out louder than expected and embarrassment suddenly overcomes me. "He isn't a douche, he just had an important meeting to attend to I think. He is doing this for him and I. Someone who is a douche would not be doing that Blake.” Trying to avoid the pity in his eyes, I look behind Blake. The four men in suits who seem to be waiting on Blake look very irritated with him, or with the both of us? Okay, I do not want to be on any business men’s bad side b
After a long debate with myself, I finally came to the conclusion that I'm going to ask him why he left in such a hurry. I have notes glued in my brain to help me with what I am to say. What I did not prepare myself for, however, is for everyone to be in the kitchen and for me not to take notice of them but only of the man sitting on the white counter eating cereal. Still relaxed as if he didn't do anything wrong."Why did you leave me at the restaurant yesterday?" I ask eyes fixed only on him."Babes didn't I explain yest-""Not you Steven, him." I point at Blake without even thinking my words through."What?" Both Steven and Mrs Claire ask at the same time.Blake, however, remains unfazed and the only thing I get from him is putting down his bowl and looking at me like I just didn't ask him a question."What's going on here?" Steven asks clearly trying to figure out the situation.I move my eyes from Blake to Steven and this is when my nerves start kicking in. "I uhm...Blake and I a
"I should have just tricked you into giving me the tickets and went out with someone not as famous as you." I say a little irritated as I pass by the average number of people seated waiting for the show to start."Oh come on, it isn't that bad." Blake says behind me as he keeps on flashing his smile at the ladies in the room."Are you kidding me? Ever since we stepped foot into this place, almost all the female learners have come up to you to ask for a picture and an autograph oh and let me not forget, the teachers too." I sit down and cross my arms, “is it because of the fame or your looks? I am starting to believe it is your looks."Okay, I'm sorry. I will turn away the next people to come. And yes, it is because of my looks and so ever awesome personality.” Blake smiles and pokes my nose. The irritation disappears and I can't help but smile back at him genuinely, which is far from innocent, “you look better when you are smiling, quit going all grumpy bear on me.”Thinking about it,
It's Friday again then Saturday and Sunday then what?It’s Friday again then Saturday and Sunday then what?I love that song, but it Friday and to say that things are going my way would be a lie. After a lot of preparing and sleepless nights (I think…), the company we did all of that for decided to reschedule the meeting on the very last minute with some senseless explanation. I rocked a great outfit and curled my hair all for nothing. This week fooled me by starting off great, it is not my week. I think I am done with it now, cause I cannot reset the days that have passed and make it better.I lean forward and take another chocolate piece while seated with Bianca. The two of us decided to bury ourself in sweet food as we complain but be grateful that we get extra time to look at the holes in the presentation and fix them. Yet I seem to be the only one burying myself in the sweet food before us… mhm…"I can't believe they cancelled," I say while also reading the note from the chocolate
