“Just don’t touch anything…” Reiner warned sternly.
“Why do you make it sound like I’m a little kid that likes to touch things?” I asked teasingly.
“Because you do like to touch things…” Reiner replied without a second thought.
Great. Is that how he sees me? Do I usually randomly touch things?
I found myself laughing but Reiner didn’t seem to find it funny. My eyes followed the movement of Reiner’s hands as he adjusted some settings on the plane. I had to say that out of all the guys that I’ve dated, he’s probably the only one that can fly a plane and there was certainly a unique charm associated to that skill. The flight was supposed to last a couple of hours and I thought that it served as the perfect and exciting start to our honeymoon.
“So…what did King say to you just now?” I asked in wonder.
I wanted to know, and Queen did suggest that I ask Reine about it. It wasn’t that I was serious about it, but I just wanted to know if what Queen had speculated was correct.
“It’s nothing that you should be worried about,” Reiner replied without looking my way.
So, there is something.
“Come on, you have to tell me, ok? I even told you about everything that I talked with Zak about…” I pleaded with my own reasoning.
“It’s really nothing,” Reiner replied curtly.
“There is something, but you don’t want to tell me because you don’t want me to worry, right? Is it something that will ruin the mood of our honeymoon?” I asked curiously.
“Do you really want to know?” Reiner asked with a hint of irritation in his voice as he turned to face me.
“Sorry. I guess I took that too far…” I mumbled.
“No, I’m sorry. I just didn’t want you to worry about something unnecessary,” Reiner replied before he smiled a little at me.
Something told me that Queen’s guess was spot on correct. Reiner probably didn’t want to talk about it because it would most likely lead to another argument between us, and it would also make me worry for the entire course of our honeymoon. Unless we’re somehow able to talk it out. I glance down at my tightly clenched hand and found out that I wasn’t fine about discussing this topic right now. Having Reiner’s child is something that I wanted to do eventually but I was very scared of what that could mean.
Will our child have the same life that Reiner did? What kind of life did he have growing up? Was he…happy?
If I could understand Reiner better, would that help me with my decision or will that help ease my mind somehow?
“I know that you just didn’t want me to worry. I’m sorry for pushing you like that,” I apologized again.
Reiner sighed before his eyes met and held mine. I could tell that he had finally made his decision to tell me about it.
“It’s not that surprisingly really. King just told me to quickly make babies with you. Something along the lines of he doesn’t know what we are waiting for…” Reiner said, sounding tired.
I couldn’t help but giggle at the face that he made when he said it.
“Queen actually told me that King probably said something like that. I just wanted to know if Queen was right,” I said before smiling at Reiner.
“It wasn’t that hard to guess…” Reiner muttered with a slow shake of his head.
“I’m on the pills so…there’s nothing for you to worry about,” I stated to reassure him.
I knew that Reiner didn’t want to have children, although I hoped that that was just for now. After pondering about it for many days and nights, I realized that I wasn’t ready to have his child right now either. Perhaps by the time that I’m ready, he’ll also want to have children. Between now and then, I’m going to have to find a way to convince Reiner that having children with me could be a wonderful experience.
“What are you daydreaming about?” Reiner asked and I found him staring directly at my face.
“A wonderfully happy and beautiful life with you,” I replied before flashing him one of my brightest smiles.
It’s going to be difficult to convince Reiner of something that I wasn’t sure of myself. Maybe I should just go with the easier option of ‘accidental pregnancy’ or something along those lines…
I couldn’t help but wonder if I had an evil look on my face when that mischievous idea entered my mind. If I got pregnant, then I was sure that Reiner would look after me anyways…
I sighed softly to myself before squashing that idea away. Hopefully, it didn’t have to come to that.
…
After arriving at the private island, we drove to one of King’s mansions that truly resembled a tropical resort. The weather was very warm, but I appreciated the sun and wind on my skin. It made me feel like we were really on a holiday. It was a bit ironic that we were honeymooning on his father’s property, but the perk of privacy made it amazing. This island, I quickly found out, had even fewer people than the one that we lived on, and it was more of a sexy holiday destination for the selected few of King’s guests. I truly loved how raw and authentic the island and its nature were. So pure and untouched.
Although we had one whole week to spend on this island, we didn’t really have anything planned. Every day on our schedule was free with no fixed agenda. The freedom felt very relaxing but at the same time I couldn’t help but wonder if we were using our time effectively.
“Is there something that you want to do? The beach looks nice…it looks so pure and untouched” I asked excitedly before adding in my opinion.
“Do you want to go to the beach?” Reiner asked lazily as he sat on the bed.
