Honeymoon
He kissed her forehead. “It’s alright.”
He wore his pajamas and went to the walk-in closet to get her a top and a pair of pajamas. He gave them to her. “Wear this.”
She quickly wore them. He switched off the lights and pulled her into his arms, laying beside her. She placed her head on his bare chest. “Aren’t you angry with me?”
He caressed her back. “Why will I be angry with you?”
“I spoiled our nuptial night.” She slowly replied, lifting her head to look at him.
“I can never be angry with you.” He placed a soft kiss on her lips. They fell asleep soon.
Eden woke up first in the morning. He turned to look at his side and smiled when he saw Lavanya sleeping like a baby.
“Good morning, wifey.” He whispered in her ear. She stirred in her sleep, slowly opened her eyes, and smiled. “Good morning.”
She sat on the bed. He was continuously looking at her.
“Why are you looking at me like this?” She asked while tying her hair in a bun.
“Just thinking that this morning is so beautiful.” He tucked her hair strand behind her ear.
She smiled, getting off the bed. They brushed their teeth together like a happy couple and went downstairs holding each other’s hand to have breakfast after getting ready.
This time, he fed her breakfast. She was enjoying being pampered by him. After they were done, he said, “Lavanya, I am going to work. I will try to come back soon.”
She held his hand to stop him. “We just got married yesterday, and you’re joining the company the very next day of our wedding.”
He cupped her face. “I have some things to finish and to explain the work to my assistant because we are leaving for our honeymoon tonight. I don’t want him to disturb me during our honeymoon.”
A blush crept on her face, hearing the word honeymoon. “Okay.”
“Pack our bags.” He left, giving her a quick kiss on her lips. She spent her entire day packing their bags with the help of Bella and Amelia.
Eden came home finishing all his work, and they left for the airport.
“Where are we going for our honeymoon?” Lavanya asked him excitedly.
He wrapped his arms around her shoulder and replied, “Paris.”
“Wow! I am really going to Paris.” She sounded more excited now. “Why are we going there by flight? A car ride should’ve been more enjoyable as Paris is not too far from London.”
“It depends on the transport, Lavanya. It will take us five hours to reach there by car, but by flight, it will only take one hour.” He explained. “I have chosen to travel by flight so that you can be comfortable and don’t get tired.”
“Hmm, I understand.”
The car stopped, and they went inside the airport. He held her hand, taking her in a different direction. Her eyes widened as they moved towards a private jet.
“Is this a private jet?” She asked, looking at it.
“It’s ours.” She looked at him in surprise when he replied. He stepped inside the private jet with her. Observing the private jet, she realized that a person could stay here without any problem as there were couches, tables, one bar, and also a bedroom.
Eden snapped his fingers in front of her. “What is going on in this beautiful mind of yours?”
“I am just thinking that if someone doesn’t want to stay at hotels, they could easily stay in this private jet. It’s not less than a five-star hotel.” He laughed when he heard her.
They sat on the seats, and fastened their seat belts. He held her hand as she closed her eyes because of her fear of heights. When they were midair, he asked her, “Do you want to eat something?”
“Yes.” She pouted. He ordered some snacks for her.
The one-hour journey felt to her like the shortest journey of her life by flight. She was mesmerized seeing the sparkling lights of the Eiffel Tower, which were making it more beautiful when they checked into their luxurious hotel suite room because it provided a clear view of the Eiffel Tower through its huge glass window.
She took her mobile phone from her handbag to click photographs of the Eiffel Tower. Eden held her in his arms from behind. “Isn’t it beautiful?”
“It’s very beautiful.” She turned to face him. “But for me, your eyes are more beautiful because they are full of love for me.”
“Am I dreaming, or are you really flirting with me?” He smiled.
She pecked him on his lips. “What do you think?”
“That you’re being naughty.” He held her in his arms. They both laid on the bed hugging each other, and fell asleep soon.
Next day, they planned to visit the Eiffel Tower and Seine. Eden already had the tickets booked for Eiffel Tower. Lavanya was dressed up in blue jeans, and a red jacket with a light pink top.
She looked at the Eiffel Tower, standing under it. “It’s so huge. Are you really sure we are going up there?”
“Yes, now let’s go.” He held her hand to take her towards the lift, but she didn’t move forward. He looked at her, and noticed that she was looking back at him nervously. “What is wrong, Lavanya?”
“You know I am afraid of heights.” She stated.
“Come on, Lavanya. It’s just the second floor. It’s not too high.” He moved closer to her. “Do you trust me?”
She nodded. “I always trust you, but…”
He tightened his hold on her hand, and cut her off. “Then, come with me. You shouldn’t miss happiness or special moments of life because of your fears. I told you that you’ve to overcome this fear. Life becomes hard when we live with our fears.”
He took her into the lift. She was feeling scared as the lift started going upwards and wanted to close her eyes, but tried to keep her eyes open because of Eden, who was looking at her with a smile while caressing her hand.
