For the third time since I arrived at the Maldives for my honeymoon, I woke up to a breakfast tray. I sat up in bed immediately and carried it to my lap, my stomach grumbling in anticipation as a note at the side attracted my attention.Courtesy of the hotel. Cole.I smiled and dug into the food with relish, especially savouring the taste of the shrimps inside the baserati rice. I paused eating mid way into my third spoon, a horrible thought entering my mind.What if it was not from Cole, or it was poisoned? The food lost taste and I was about to push it away, when Cole entered the room."I see the scent woke you up. Liza, what if it was not from me? He questioned in his usual way of greeting.I frowned and dropped the tray back on the bed, turning away from it but Cole just laughed and picked up his jacket from a chair. "Even if it was poisoned, you've already eaten quite a lot. So wouldn't it be better to enjoy the meal, at least?" He asked, and swiftly walked out of the room again.

Dave offered to walk me across the park and I agreed, as we continued to talk for a while about different topics.The greenery of the environment pulled me it, shrubs and small trees dedcorsted the park as butterflies and small birds flew around them chirping noisily. Some older kids ran around a small flowing fountain, playing tag while others turned the plain field in the centre to a race track as they called scores and played a mini competition.We looked at the different groups of people for a moment before we moved on, and I suddenly felt the urge to play like a child one last time. Adulthood was not as glamorous as people made it seem.I was not sure which one of us started it, but somehow the conversation steered towards Korean dramas. I expressed my love for it, and Dave turned to me with shining eyes."Seriously? I like them too," he said with a grin and launched into a summary of his favourite one, and I clapped my hands in delight when he finished."Hotel de Luna? I loved i

It was nice to see Cole finally get over his discomfort with crowds and finally start enjoying himself just like the other guys were.Zayn and Zach had just finished a car racing game and were pumping up to beat two teenage boys–who were still shocked to see adults playing with them–again, when my husband stepped forward."I want to play in this round," he announced and the guys grinned in response. He went over to an empty spot beside Zayn and strapped up in the seat.The game attendant who was assisting with starting and ending the game, as well as laying down rules, walked over to him. "Sir, do you need help with the buttons?" He asked, but Cole shook his head confidently."No. I know what to do," he replied and the guy gave a nod, quickly proceeding to set the rules. Afterwards, he pointed at the timer placed above the seats and told them to get ready.Instinctively and surprisingly, even to me, I placed a hand on Cole's shoulder for support and he placed his' on it and gave me a

The first thing I saw when my eyes blinked open were small ripples forming in the blue water outside the window. I blinked my eyes again and instantly sat up to look around me. I remembered falling asleep on the couch as I waited for Cole to finish talking with his security team but here I was, in the room alone by morning.There was no sign that Cole slept in the room or that he was even in the suite, but the bedroom door was open so I wore the fuzzy slippers that the hotel had given us on our first day here and padded int the sitting room.I saw Cole sitting down on the couch, his head bent over it as he snored softly so I quietly walked over to him. His hands were splayed across the head of the couch and his eyes were slightly open, and I felt tempted to take a picture of him. Luckily, my phone was in my pyjamas so I quickly took a photo of him, smiling quietly as his mouth opened slightly.After that, I walked back into the room to freshen up and by the time I was done, Cole was a

Cole brought us to a small dock where a single medium-sized boat stood waiting for us as well as a captain who slightly doffed his hat when he saw us approaching.Before I could ask what was happening, Cole stepped into the boat and held out a hand to me. I grabbed his hand and he pulled me into it, as the captain started the engine and soon, we sped away from the land and into the blue water seemingly leading nowhere in particular.I briefly watched as a guy dressed in uniform came to whisper quietly to Cole before disappearing down into what I presumed was the kitchen area or something. I gave Cole a curious glance but he just put a hand for me to wait so I looked arounf us as the boat moved slowly across the water.Tiny strips of land surrounded us, with most of them having water bungalows on top of them which were occupied by people, while the other smaller parts of land were covered with thick trees and shrubs. Subconsciously I twirled around with my eyes wide open, as I stared a
