Cladding in a beautiful floral printed pink knee-length dress, Melanie was making her braids while staring herself at the mirror. "We're not going on a picnic, wifey," She turned around and saw her husband who was dressed up in a casual black shirt and blue jeans. She smiled because she had made him wear it. "We're going on our honeymoon, Mrs Salvatore, then why are we dressed up like we are going on our school's picnic?" The frown was visible on his face. She rolled her eyes at him and turned around and continued making her braids. He walked towards her and hugged her from behind. "Hey, don't disturb me. Let me make my braids," she complained and he chuckled. Adrian pecked her ear and started helping her in making her double braids. "What are you doing? Do you even know how to make them?" She asked, scoffing. He spinned his eyes. "Of course I do. I had seen mum making them on your hair most of the time," he uttered. Her heart stinged at his words because that was the truth. H

,"Yummy…. it's so tasty," Adrian tossed his head and saw his wife happily eating the cheese waffle fries. They both had come to a carnival. Somehow she got to know about the carnival and dragged him here with her. "Wanna try?"she asked him. He rolled his eyes. "No thanks. I'll pass," "Your loss, Salvatore," she uttered and continued eating. They both were wandering around that place which was beautifully gleaming with lights under the darkness of night. The carnival was really huge and a lot of people came. Like a kid, she was looking at everything with a big excited smile on her face because she used to love going to carnivals and he used to hate going there but she had always managed to drag him with her in every carnival in their childhood, just like this time. Some things never changed, no matter what. It had been merely 10 minutes, and he had already started regretting his decision to come here. He used to hate crowds and loud noises but what possibly he could do, his h

Adrian ran behind her and saw her getting out of that place. He grabbed her arm and forcefully turned her around. "Melanie what ha .." he stopped by watching her reddened teary eyes. His chest tightened. "Doll, what happened?" He asked, gently but she snatched her arm from his grip angrily. "Nothing happened. I'm tired. I want to go home right now," her voice was firm and burning. He knew it was regarding what he confessed. He would lie if he said her behaviour didn't hurted him but he knew he deserved much more worse than that. His confession affected her terribly. He could clearly see the storm of emotions bursting out inside her in her glossy eyes. He sighed and nodded and then they both got inside his car and drove away. He halted his car in front of their beach house. He saw her opening the car's door and hurriedly got outside like she was suffocating there inside him. Throughout their entire ride, she didn't even look at him, let alone talk to him. He stepped out of his

She fell on his body and hugged him tightly. Melanie buried her face in his neck and started weeping amiably because that was really too much for her to endure. First, Adrian was confused as to why she started crying but when she hugged him more tightly, he understood everything without even her words that she was totally overwhelmed by what she had just done with him. He caged her back and caressed her head while softly kissing her ear. "Ssh…it's okay," he tried to calm her down but she continued to weep. "Don't cry, Doll. We are never going to do it again, don't worry," he murmured in her ear but she immediately pulled back and looked at him through her doe watery eyes. "I didn't mean like that," she told him in between her sobs. His eyes softened. Adrian cupped his crying doll's face. "Then why are you crying?" He asked, making her chin wobble. "Because that was feeling so unusual and different," He smiled at her answer and caressed her tears away. "A good different or a b

"What had happened to Aunt Lissa?" Her question froze Gale for a while. His expression turned gloomy at her words. Melanie's heart was pounding in pain as she dared to ask him that question. She hopefully stared at him to get her answer. "Melanie…. I think you should talk to Adrian about this because I have no right to get into this if he hasn't told you anything yet," he answered her, honestly because he knew it wasn't his place or story to tell. Melanie understood her mistake that she acted on her pure instincts. It was morally wrong to ask him about that matter when it was extremely personal and sensitive for Adrian. She sighed before nodding and dropping that topic. She offered him a tiny beam. "Please…take a seat. Rian will be here soon," Gale nodded and was about to sit down but stopped when they both heard the sound of the door opening. Melanie stretched her head and saw Adrian stepping inside with a frown but his frown turned into a slight shock by watching Gale there
