Chapter 39: 39


    I sigh. My hands are in my hair as my elbows rest on the vanity. I look down at the floor. Elliot and I


    have only been married for two weeks and so much has been happening. This is one of those times


    when I wish that time would stop, let me take a breath and just let me absorb everything and everyone


    who hase my way. Let me enjoy what I thought was a good moment. Let me enjoy the first few


    parts of being married.


    Elliot ces his palms on my shoulder, “Eli, this is not the life I intended for us, needless to say, not the


    honeymoon I nned. I will make it up to you after everything” he tells me. He ces a soft kiss on my


    head and leaves.


    “Yeah, me too” I whisper to myself


    The next day, ourundry came in early and I start packing our things. Elliot started helping me by


    coting all gadgets and its respective chargers. He gathers all bath products and ces them in the


    small hand carry. Our clothes areid out on the bed. “Alright, Alex. We need the car ready to pick us at


    the airport to the condo. Our nends at ten in the evening. I need security to be set and finished by


    six o’clockter tonight. I don’t want my wife to worry” he speaks over the phone.


    I leave one of the luggage open for our used clothes once we start preparing for our flight. We’re set to


    leave the hotel noter than two o’clock in the afternoon. It’s already eleven and once I finish, I take a


    quick shower and Elliot follows right after. I wear a simple ck dress and a denim jacket with a


    matching ck body bag. I brush my hair and Elliot emerges from the bathroom. He dries himself as I


    apply my make-up. I try my best not to look at him whilst naked, although it wouldn’t be such a bad idea


    at this point. Elliot wears a paint of ck jeans and a in white button up shirt with his sleeves rolled


    up to his elbows. He finishes with a pair of ck leather shoes. He runs his fingers through his hair


    quickly and says, “You ready?”


    I take onest look in my mirror and pack up my kit. We check our luggage and call a service to get our


    things. Once we get to the lobby, we check out and ride the car to the airport. We arrive at airport at


    around one thirty in the afternoon. We have plenty of time to spend at the lounge as we wait for our

    flight. Elliot and I arrive at Changi airport at ten in the evening exactly. A ck BMW series seven is


    waiting for us at the pick-up bay. Once our things were ced at the backseat, we drive home. We stop


    by a grand building, fully lit with only ten floors. Each floor corresponds to a certain owner and can only


    ess that specific level with an identification key. Elliot and I stop of the top most floor. The elevator


    doors open to the view of Singapore. The unit was two-storey. Furniture was already ced but it


    the rooms to the second floor. We ce our luggage in the other rooms.Iy on the bed still in my flight


    clothes. Elliot sets down electronics bag on the wooden table in front of the bed and under the hanging


    t screen. “Take a rest before you shower” he tells me.


    I sigh, “Yes, sir!” I roll over to my side and stretch out. Elliot starts setting up hisptop, pulls out all of


    our phones and tablets and starts trinkling with them.


    “What are you doing?” I ask him as I sit up


    “Giving the phones ess to the Wi-Fi” he tells me. Once Elliot was done, he takes off his clothes and


    walks to a small hallway which I failed to notice when we entered the room. Mt eyebrows meet in the


    middle again. I stand and follow him. The small hallway on the side of the bedroom door leads to the


    bathroom. The bathroom is naked, unfinished but finished. Elliot takes a shower and I walk over to the


    vanity. We each have our own mirrors and sinks.


    “We can go shopping tomorrow for the things we still need for the house. Like more pillows, fill-up your


    vanity with whatever you use on your face, we can get a dog or something for the house too”


    My eyes widen, “A dog? Really?” I smile at him


    Heughs, “Sure. But we’ll get him or herst. After we finish shopping” he tells me.


    “Thanks, Elliot” I smile at him


    “Anything for you” he says. Elliot is covered in suds and I suddenly have the urge to take off my clothes


    and join him. I walk over to him under the shower. He smiles down at me and starts covering me with


    suds as well.


    “Mmmmm” I close my eyes and turn my back to him. We rest under the shower, he ces his head on


    my shoulder and we start to sway slowly.


    “Eli?” he calls out my name. I let out a soft moan and he says, “I will do everything to protect you, you


    know that right?” I let out a soft moan again and nod. We share a very intimate moment in the shower,


    letting our troubles be carried by the water.
