They Made a Detour

Zunnie was trying to find Alex when she finally bumped into Sanua. The entire evening, she had been looking around for Sanua. Who would have imagined that Zunnie would find her standing next to Hunter looking like she was married to him? She grinned at her friend as she approached the pair. Zunnie couldn't help thinking that they looked beautiful standing next to each other.

"Zunnie boo, the dress looks amazing on you. I think you should hire me as your personal designer from now on." San exclaimed as she twirled her around.

"You're too busy to be designing clothes for me," replied Zunnie.

"Nonsense, just say the word and your bestie here will hook you up."

"I'll remember that and don't tell me you're too busy when I send in my request. Hunter, it's been a while, good to see you again." She replied and greeted Hunter.

"Congratulations Zunnie, you look great," said Hunter.

"Ah, thank you Hunter. Are you sure that the two of you did not get married or are dating? You compliment each other nicely standing here. You two make a lovely couple to look at." Zunnie teased them.

Hunter's face flushed and San playfully punched Zunnies arm.

"So no-one's gonna deny it. I guess there must be something going on then?" She eyed the two of them.

"We're only friends." They spoke sumptuously.

"Ha-ha, you even speak at the same time." Zunnie chuckled.

She loved teasing them. She knew Sanua has a crush on Hunter but wasn't sure if he had any feeling towards her. Judging by his reaction, he did like her as well. She hoped that they would realize their feelings and get together already.

"Cut it out Zunnie, you're making weird assumptions."

"Am I now? Hunter, what do you think of San?"

"Zun cut the crap. We're just friends!" An embarrassed Sanua exclaimed.

"Fine, fine; but do think about it though."

"Are you guys having fun?" Alex's voice was heard from behind.

"Your wife was just finding pleasure in teasing us. Congrats mate." Hunter was the first one to speak.

"Honey you should let them be." Alex bent over and pecked her lips with his.

"Alright, no more." She threw her hand up to prove that she surrendered.

"Shall we go?" Alex asked.

"We're leaving already?" She asked surprised that the night was coming to an end.

"Most people have left and it's already 12 a.m. Also, remember what I told you when you said you were going to buy me a drink? I'm thirsty. Let's go home."

"Urgh, can you two not be so lovey-dovey with us here?" Sanua couldn't take their public display of affection.

"Ha-ha fine, we're leaving. Let's have dinner soon." Zunnie replied.

After she and Alex said goodbye to the remaining guest and her dad. They left the party.

"Don't you think San and Hunter look really good together?" Zunnie and Alex were on their way home when she asked.

"I actually do. Hunter does have a crush on her. Told him to confess but he's still shy."

"Ha-ha, Hunter; shy? That sounds peculiar. He has such an easy-going personality. They do get along well. Did they come to the ball together?"

"Mhm, did you have fun tonight?" Alex asked her

"I did. It was the best night ever! Darling thank you for the lovely surprise. On my way over there I was a bit lonely riding the limo all alone. You knew exactly what I was thinking. Now I can hold your hand and walk beside you without worrying about our pictures being taken. Was it your idea or my dad's?"

"That's good. Now I can kiss you anytime. I got help from your dad. When he mentioned the party that day I asked him. When I told your dad he was happy. He even asked me when am I giving him a grandson. I said I was only waiting on you."

"Darling I thought were going home," Zunnie stated after she noticed they had not been heading that direction.

"Yes, but I think the car behind us is following us. I wanted to be sure."

"Oh, maybe it's paparazzi trying to get pictures. I mean we did announce our marriage to the entire world."

"You could be right, but I don't want them to find out where we live. It will become troublesome. I'm gonna drive around and try to shake the car off." Alex said before glancing through the mirror.

"Alright," Zunnie replied a little worried.

The car followed them for five minutes before Alex could shake it off. Although she knew that Alex would protect, she couldn't help feeling fearful.

"Darling maybe we should stay at a hotel tonight. I don't want the person who was following us to know where we live."

"Okay, I got the model and the license plate number. Will have Zhang look into it on Monday. So don't worry."

"Thank you, darling, I love you the most."

When they arrived at the hotel, Zunnie was about to ask the attendant for a change of clothes but Alex stopped her.

"You won't be needing it."

"But, we..." Alex slipped his tongue into her warm mouth. He kissed her, then picked her up and carried her to the elevator.

The night was still young for the couple whose bodies were filled with unfulfilled desire as they walked into their suite.
