Chapter 29

Melanie opened her eyes slowly the next day and closed them again as the ray of sun flickered through the window and landed on her face. She rolled on the bed then opened her eyes.

''Holy crap, my head is spinning,'' she murmured as she sat up.

She yawned lazily and noticed something was unusual on her body. She glanced at her body and widened her eyes when she saw that she was wearing just a tube and pants.

She creased her brow as she tried to remember what happened last night.

''I was watching Alive... Sipping alcohol...'' She widened her eyes. ''I got drunk!'' She half yelled and covered her body possessively, then clear her throat.

She closed her eyes and an image where she was taking her clothes off in front of Flynn flashed through her head.

''What was that? Did that happen in the movies I was watching? Wait... Alive is not romance. That face was mine too. What! Did I strip naked in front of Flynn? Aish!'' She screamed as she rolled on the bed crazily.

Everything that happened last night suddenly flooded her head like a river.

''I sucked his nipple... And he sucked my breast! Gosh!'' She screamed on top of her voice and covered herself with the duvet.

''Did he have sex with me last night? I don't think so... But he saw my nakedness. Melanie, who asked you to drink?'' She whispered under the duvet.

Soon, she heard the door creaked open and she closed her eyes hurriedly.

She was going to pretend she wasn't awake.

Damn, What sort of awkwardness is this!?

She felt the duvet that covered her head move away.

''Good morning, darling. Are you still sleeping?'' Came the deep voice of her husband.

Melanie said nothing and closed her eyes when she felt his lips on hers.

How could this man kiss someone that has not washed her mouth so early in the morning?

''I know you're awake. I've prepared soup and drugs to ease your hangover. Come out, I'll be waiting for you,'' Flynn patted her hair and walked out of the room.

When she was sure Flynn had left the room, Melanie opened her eyes and sighed frustratedly.

Well, it's not like she was going to stay inside this room throughout the day or their honeymoon.

She stood up reluctantly and entered the bathroom to brush her mouth and wash her face. She couldn't stop sighing inside the bathroom till she came out.

She opened the closet and saw Flynn's shirt first. She was too frustrated to start looking for any other cloth. She wore it and walked towards the door, opened it, and tiptoed out of the room.

''Good morning.''

''Ah, you startled me,'' Melanie said, bewildered and faked a smile at the man that was in front of her.

''Hope you slept well,'' Flynn smiled and pulled her to himself and leaned towards her for a kiss.

''Yes. Well... I'm having a headache,'' She muttered awkwardly.

"That is bound to happen. Come and have a sit,'' Flynn led her to the dining table and went to the kitchen.

He came back later with a bowl of soup and dropped it in front of her, then he sat beside her.

Melanie took the spoon and dipped it inside the soup and put it in her mouth.

It wasn't bad, seems like it was only hangover soup her husband could make.

She glanced at Flynn that was staring at her with keen interest and suddenly choked on the soup that just entered her mouth. Flynn grabbed a glass of water and fed it to her, petting her back.

''Flynn, I... I did not remember what happened last night,'' She faked a smile as she sip another soup.

''I didn't ask,'' Flynn raised a brow, smiling at her.

It seems her husband enjoyed seeing her so miserable like that.

''I know... I'm just telling you,'' Melanie said.

''Okay,'' Flynn answered curtly.

Melanie glanced at Flynn and his chest and she saw the tattoo that was on his chest.

She knew he had a tattoo but she did not know what it was as though her husband hardly reveal his chest unlike today that he wore only shorts.

She furrowed her brow when she saw that it was a love drawn on his chest with a letter H inside the love.

She dropped the spoon and glared at Flynn.

''What does the letter H inside the heart stands for?'' She sulked.

''You can give it any meaning yourself, don't let it bother you,'' Flynn smiled at her sweetly and Melanie hissed loudly.

''Is that Camila's other name? Camila Hayes... Flynn!'' Melanie hit the table with her palm and glared at Flynn.

''It is not Camila or anybody, don't be bothered by it. Finish your soup before it gets cold,'' Flynn said and Melanie eyed him before she sat down.

She carried the bowl and started drinking directly from it.

''Last night...''

Flynn started and Melanie spat the soup back inside the bowl and dropped it.

''What!?'' She snapped and Flynn laughed loudly.

''You said you love me. Is that true or were you just messing with me?'' Flynn asked.

''Did I say that?" Melanie whispered, pretending to be shocked.

''I know you remember everything that happened the previous night,'' Flynn smirked.

''What? what? What if I do? Can't I love you? Are you the only one that wants to love? Yes, I love you!'' Melanie said hurriedly and left the dining hurriedly.

Flynn smiled heartily as he cleared the dining table.

It turns out that his wife loves him.

Flynn walked to the living room and went to sit beside Melanie whose hair covered her face. Flynn removed the hair from her face and raised her chin to face him.

''Are you embarrassed?'' Flynn asked.

''So much,'' Melanie groaned.

''You should not be embarrassed. I am your husband and I love everything about you. Okay?'' Flynn asked and Melanie nodded.

''Since when have you loved me?'' Melanie asked in a whisper.

''It has been over three months,'' Flynn answered with a smile plastered across his face.

''Really? How? But we haven't met then,'' Melanie asked him.

''Your pictures were delivered to me every day till I finally met you. I got addicted to seeing new pictures of you three months before we met,'' Flynn answered.

''Wow... How sweet,'' Melanie smiled.

''How about you?''

''I was quite attracted to you the first time I met you. You are very handsome so which lady won't dream of having you? I didn't let it show because of the situation that surrounded us,'' Melanie answered.

''So cute,'' Flynn giggled and kissed her lips gently.

''I got something for you,'' Flynn smiled and dipped his hand in his pocket.

''Wait, I'll close my eyes. I love surprises,'' Melanie grinned and closed her eyes which Flynn found funny and laughed loudly.
