#Night.
..
Diana rushed inside the room and fell heavily on the bed.
John came in afterwards and sat on the bed then removed his shoes.
Diana picked up the roses on the bed and threw them away.
“I already apologized. So, why are you still furious?”he asked.
She sat up. Her face was wrinkled up.
“You seem to be enjoying that back there, weren’t you?”
“But.. of course, back at the church, we just had to kiss since… I mean, that’s what couples do so wouldn’t it be bizarre not to do so?”
“And, at the reception?”she folded her arms under her chest.
“Well, we just had to act like normal couple.”John cleared his throats and shy his face away.
“What an excuse.”she scoffed.
“You kissed me ten times and did you really have to agree to the proposed game? Gosh.”
“Oops.. sorry about that. I was just trying to make us look like a..”
“Normal couple!”she exclaimed.
“I’m.. truly sorry about that.”
“You should be, duhh.. you could have gave them an excuse.. ‘oh, her lips are sore’ and some other things like that.”
“The way you’re laying so much emphasis on the *kissing scene*, I’m guessing you enjoyed that and you’re just trying to convince and justify yourself by putting several blame on me.”
She paused and her mouth twitched.
John chuckled.
“Of course, I know I’m a good kisser but don’t get too lost in that. Our six months begins today.”
“Wow. Giving yourself accolades you don’t deserve now?. My Adrian is a good kisser compare to you. And, oh, how can I forget such. I really can’t wait to get out of this marriage and meet my Adrian.”
“He’s already married.”he smirks.
He removed his jacket and stood up.
“Where do you want us to have our honeymoon?”
Diana followed him to the table with her gaze.
“Mr John Robinson. It seems you’re really happy about this marriage.”
He turned back to her and smiled.
“I’m not. I’m just trying to make you happy. I mean, we did got married after all and I already vowed never to make you unhappy.”
“Go to honeymoon with your honey. Count me out.”she lie down on the bed.
“But you’re my honey.”he blurted.
“Whaat?!!”
“I mean, you’re my.. honey since after all, we are married and.. I will always.. I will have to be referring to you as honey, in public.”
“I refuse. Just call me wife instead.”
“Wifey sounds nice.”
“Wife!”
“Wifey.”
“Wife!”
“Wifeyyy..”
“Wife, damn it!”
“Okay, I’m sorry about that, wifey.”he grins.

Helene’s pov.
“Hey..”he cooed and came to peck me on my cheeks.
“What’s up with this place tho?”I asked as I moved to the seat to sit down.
“You don’t like it?”he came to sit down on the seat opposite to mine.
“Dinner beside the sea?, with seafoods? This cannot be more good. So, I love it.”
I stared at the ocean beside me as its wave traveled from the center of the lake before breaking on the shore.
The breeze is pretty cool and crispy also.
“Let’s eat. We can go to play by the ocean later.”
“Hmm..”I nodded and looked at the food.
I stared up and saw that his eyes were fixated on me.
I chuckled.
“But I can’t go near the sea, else, I’mma turn into a mermaid that I am.”I blocked the side of my mouth with my hand and said to him in a whisper.
I watched as his face dropped down in shock.
“What?”his voice shook.
“Hey! I got you, I totally got you right there.”I laughed.
He breathed out in relief.
I picked up a shrimp from the plate and munched on it.
“Hmm… it’s been so long since I’ve had this. It’s my favorite out of all seafoods. Yummy!”
He watched me as I devoured the shrimps.
“Wait… why are you not eating?. You not hungry?”I said amidst munching.
“I’m filled just by looking at you eat on.”he responded.
“What?, are you calling me a glutton?.”I frowned.
“Huh?.. of.. course not. Certainly not. I love this side of yours.. you’re now pretty comfortable around me.”
“Ugh, that was a joke. Here, try some..”I moved a shrimp to his mouth.
He tried to collect it from me but I frowned.
“Open up.”I ordered.
He slowly opened his mouth and I shove the shrimp in.
“How is it?”
He pressed his lips together.
“Well, nice..”he carried his glass of juice and gulped it down.
I packed some shrimps and shoved it in his mouth again.
“Eat as much as you, boy. You can’t afford to get thinner.”
“What? I’m not gonna slim up from not eating anything tonight.”
I scoffed – smile.
My stomach got full and was ready to burst after some while.
I stood up and smiled into the sky before going to sit near the ocean.
I wrapped my hands around legs and rested my head on my legs.
He came to sit beside me.
“What do you think?”I asked.
“Huh?”
“Don’t you feel jealous?”
“Jealous?, jealous of what?”
I turned to look at him and shook my head.
“The ocean.”I replied before taking my eyes back to the water.
“It has no worry. Just to sweep back and forth. It life is quiet and good. I envy her.”I pouted.
I glanced at him when he didn’t say anything.
His eyes were closed. The breeze blew up his hair and I got lost at his amazing features.
“Helene.”he called without opening his eyes.
“Hun?”I hummed.
“Will you be mine?”and he opened his eyes.
I felt goosbumps rose up on my skin and I took my face away.
“What?, you don’t like me?”
“Jay…”
“It’s fine. I will give you time to think about it.”he interpolated.
I stared into his eyes and now, it was his turn to look away.
“I have something for you.. but I don’t know if they are real.”I uttered.
He looks at me.
“How about you help me figure it out, then?”
“H. how?”
I scooted closer to him so close that I could hear the rapid beating of his heart.
His hot breath was fanning my face.
“Kiss me. A kiss will help me figure them out.”I whispered.
His eyes popped out.
“Kiss me, you idiot.”
