Chapter 61 - Sixty-one

The drowsiness from sleep went away and she slowly became aware of her surroundings. She twisted from her side to her back and looked at the ceiling. They hadn't reached their destination and it had been more than ten hours or so.

She had changed into a silk nightsuit and gone to bed but that was with Angelo and now, he wasn't there. She breathed in and out loudly and then rolled out of bed. Wave dizziness hit her and she cursed for standing up so quickly after that she made her way to the bathroom.

She freshened up and went to the sitting area where she found Angelo. He had his laptop open.

"When did you wake up?" She asked sitting down in front of him with her legs folded under her bottom.

"An hour maybe," he seemed uncertain himself. After typing for a few minutes, he closed the laptop shut and looked at her. "Hungry?" His wife deserved all of his attention.

"No, not yet?" She asked, not sure for it herself.

"Still tired?" He chuckled. She slept for over ten hours.

"From sleep," she groaned making him laugh. "My joints are paining now." She stretched her shoulders.

"Just tell me where we are going." She then added for a thought. "Italy?" She joked.

"Haha," he gave a sarcastic laugh. "No. Just because I am Italian doesn't mean we're going there."

"Then where?" She whined. Not knowing about it was killing her. She always knew things.

"Somewhere," he smirked. "Wanna eat now? You need energy after sleeping for ten hours."

"Hmm," she nodded. "A little bit of something.

Angelo pressed a button and a pair of male and female flight attendants came in.

"Yes, sir?" The male with the name tag of August and June for the woman. Creative parents.

"Breakfast, August. Lay it out." Angelo merely glanced at the attendant and continued looking at his wife. Wife. He still couldn't believe it.

Alexis noticed something about the woman but she didn't choose to comment on it at the moment. The attendees came in with food after a few minutes. Eggs, bread, muffins, etc. Things that could be stored and cooked easily.

They started eating and that's when Alexis chose to talk.

"You've slept with her, already joined the mile high club?" She mocked.

"Whoah, the hostess. Yes, twice." He shamelessly told her the number. She appreciated it, kind of, since he didn't lie.

"Am I joining the club?" She said taking a bite. Hell at this point she might just do it out of spite.

"Your first time with me won't be on a plane. It would be a bit more romantic, Alexis. Give me some face." He answered with a deadly serious face. Something told her that he was not appreciative of the questions.

"Anyone else that we might come across?" She asked. She wanted to be aggressive in approach but the past had taught her a lesson that she wasn't going to forget. So she planned and proceeded.

"No," he sighed. Angelo looked like he was holding back. And it was good that he was, they were married and he had to show some change. Change in his abusive behaviour as she now held the title of his wife. The highest title of all.

She nodded and started eating again. This was one of the most awkward situations she had ever been in. Well, maybe this was one of the side effects of an arranged marriage; not know the past. She now regretted it. For all she knew, he could have kids littered around.

She continued to eat. The silence made her more tired than she was when she entered the plane. Maybe, she could go to sleep again.

Forgoing that though she took one of the books that Nikita had packed. She said something about a long journey and how reading sound help. It did to some extent but Alexis felt sleepy again. To she closed the book and help it to her chest, closed her eyes and tried to sleep.

"Don't go to sleep again." She heard him.

Alexis opened her eyes and looked at him, it had been an hour or two since breakfast. "Why?" She asked. She was desperate to pass the time by not doing anything.

"We are going to land in an hour or two. You should go and have a bath and then change." With his eyes, she could tell that he didn't want a negative answer. Some things were not changing and she felt torn but now was not the time, so she would let it go.

"Okay." She nodded.

She sighed and got up. She took a white shirt and blue ripped jeans and went for a bath, enjoying the flow of hot water against her skin, relishing the relaxation it brought.

Changing into her clothes, she applied a moisturizer and sunscreen and some brown eyeshadow with a lipstick of the same shade. The dude could never go out of style.

"This is your pilot. We will be arriving momentarily. Please remain in your seats with your seat belt securely fastened until the aircraft has come to a complete stop." She put down and packed the rest of her things and went to the seating area and sat in front of Angelo and tied her seat belt securely.

They landed successfully and went through the checking and collected their bags as well. Alexis noticed that there were guards here as well and a car followed them both in the back and the front.

"Okay, tell me now? What is it? Bora Bora?" She felt agitated now. They had even landed!

"We could go there next but this, my darling, is the Maldives." He stole a kiss from her as he told her the Destination.

Her eyes widened and twinkled with a spark. She looked outside with an excited expression and made Angelo feel appreciated about his decision.

They reached their destination for the stay; Cocoon Maldives. The moment Alexis entered the hut, she was amazed by the design. She looked at everything with her mouth open.

"Wow!" She screamed. This was like a dream.

"Happy to know that you like it." He chuckled, settling down on the single sofa seat and taking his shoes off.

"Like? I love it!" She immediately corrected him. It was evening here and Angelo wanted them to have an early and good supper outside with the view.

Both of them took their shirts out which were tucked in and shoes off. The meal they ordered was light and drinks with them were non-alcoholic but thoroughly refreshing. She looked into the sunset and realised how many mesmerising sights she had missed in her busy life.

She relaxed at how beautiful it looked. Whenever it was time to leave the office they said they the suns down let's go party but this truly meant that the sun was down and oh, how beautiful it looked. It was marvellous. Simply marvellous. 

She was sitting on the wooden deck and Angelo was sitting inside watching the sunset from the chair where he had eaten. He didn't follow her to the outside as she went for some cool sea breeze. This just felt so good. So peaceful. Why did watching a sunset in a cool breeze feel so refreshing than a massage or a facial?

She had changed into a nightie after a light shower as she sat in front of the vanity applying moisturizer. Angelo came in from his shower, closing the door behind him. Alexis looked at him and had a warm blush rising into her skin as she saw him in a towel but the look in his eyes made her swallow something. He looked hungry. 

Her breathes were shallow. She had a quickened breathing pattern and a tingling sensation in her private area. He slowly walked to her and she was dying in anticipation. If only he could walk faster, she thought. He was killing her and she knew she was close to getting a heart attack. 

Alexis didn't know what came to her mind but she stood up and continued to look at him through the mirror. Angelo smirked a bit, knowing it would cause her panties to dampen a bit more and it did.

He moved her hair to the other side and moved his nose along her shoulders making her sigh in pleasure. His warm breath on her skin made her wetter and she couldn't wait for him to take it further. Lust, she felt lust.

"Are you ready?" He asked but she knew that it wasn't an option but she needed a release too as it had been too long. She just sighed as he sucked on more, letting him take it as a yes. I do want pleasure and he is merely giving it to me.

She opened her eyes and stared at herself in the mirror. He took off her robe as it was already slipping away. Her head turned back wanting more of his assault.

This was it, she thought.
