Chapter 167 - Perfect!

The following day.

Caroline and Mike wake up at 7:00 in the morning.

Mike went downstairs to buy fresh bread from the bakery in front of the condo.

While Caroline starts packing their clothes inside the traveling bag. They will be taking only two bags, one for her and one for Mike's stuff.

Her husband already put his clothes and belongings in the bed, all she needs to do is arrange them neatly in the bag, she started the task and finished a few minutes later.

She managed to zip the bag.

Now it's her turn. She put the toiletries in the zip-locked bag and she took a separate bag for the toothbrush and toothpaste.

Done she was about to put her clothes in the bag when Mike entered the door.

"Sweetie, let's eat breakfast first," he said. "I bought hot Pandesal bread stuffed with an egg inside. I already made our coffee, let's eat first, and then let's just continue packing after eating..." he suggested.

Caroline smiled. "Alright."

She stopped what she was doing and exited the bedroom.

She went to the kitchen and saw her husband putting the spoon and fork on the plates. She looked at the dish on the table. "What else did you buy?"

"I also bought rice, tocino, and bacon. I was thinking you would like to eat rice as well," he said.

"Wow... mouthwatering breakfast! I'm starving!" She sat on the chair and put rice and meat on her plate.

They began eating their palatable meals and enjoyed their hot coffee.

Done sipping their coffee, cleaning the table and kitchen, they went back to the bedroom and finished their packing.

Mike zipped the traveling bag.

"I hope we didn't miss anything..." Caroline said looking around the room.

"Don't worry much. We can always buy anything there as long we have money," Mike said.

Caroline sat on the bed. "What time we will go to the airport?" she inquired.

"At around 11:00 because our flight will be at 12:30 noon," he replied.

"I will take a bath first," Caroline said and went to the closet to take some clothes with her inside the bathroom.

Mike sat on the bed waiting for her wife to finish bathing so that he can use the bathroom next.

Caroline's phone rings... signaling an incoming text message.

Mike rose to his feet to get her wife's phone at the bedside table. He took the phone and was about to check who sends the message but the door of the bathroom opened.

Caroline looked at her phone already in her husband's hands.

She got nervous all of a sudden!

Dang!

What if Mike will read Allison's messages.

Dammit, why does she fail to erase all Allison's messages from her phone? My goodness, she was being careless and stupid!

"Hubby, can you please give me my cellphone?" she asked.

Mike handed the mobile device to her wife.

Caroline closed the door of the bathroom and read the message. The message ended comes from Allison, she read her message...

'Enjoy your honeymoon!' texted Allison.

She typed... 'Thanks...please don't text or call me. I'll call you after I come back from my honeymoon. Thanks!' ...and sends the message.

She quickly deleted Allison's messages in the inbox and deleted her phone number as well, after all, she already memorized Allison's number.

Her phone rings...she received another text message.

'Okay, as you say so, I won't text or call you during your honeymoon,' Allison replied.

"Thank God," Caroline said to herself.

She placed the phone in the cabinet and resumed bathing.

A few minutes later, she exited the bathroom, eyes on the floor avoiding her husband's gaze. She feels guilty, she hopes that he won't start getting suspicious of her.

Mike entered the bathroom and start showering.

Caroline prepared a blue skinny jeans and pullover white brown long sleeve blouse. That will be her attire later when they will go to the airport. She prepared her black pump shoes and a black shoulder bag.

Finished preparing everything...she exited the bedroom and went to the kitchen to start unplugging everything.

Done in the kitchen she went to the living room and did the same.

They will be gone for five days, she must make sure the place is safe from fire or anything.

After making sure she had pulled off all the plugs, she went back to the bedroom and grabbed her nail cutter. She went back to the living room and cut her fingernails and toenails there.

After finished cutting her nails she went back to the bedroom and then double-check the contents of her shoulder bag. Wallet~cellphone~ATM card~makeup kit~tissue~hair brush~perfume...checked.

She's ready for the honeymoon!

She holds her phone and went into the living room. She placed a call to her mother.

"Mother dear, wazzup?"

"Today is your flight with your husband going to Palawan for the honeymoon?" Thelma asked.

"You are correct, Mother. I just call to check on you guys. Is everything okay there?"

"Yes...we're fine. Call me if you already arrive at your destination, okay?"

"I will Mother. Bye...I will call you tonight," she said.

"Bye daughter, take care of yourself," Thelma said.

"Bye Mother!"

Caroline ended their conversation.

She put the phone on the center table and reached for the remote control, and power on the television. She browses on the channel to find something worth watching.

She settled on a local variety show.

Mike appeared in the living room holding his laptop and sat beside her on the sofa.

"Sweetie...we will leave in two hours. We'll just grab lunch at the airport or after we arrived in Palawan," he informed her.

"How many hours flight from Manila to Palawan?" she asked.

"More or less one hour and thirty minutes," Mike answered.

"Okay," she shifted her attention back to the show she's watching.

While Mike was checking his business emails on his laptop.

Two hours later, the couple was done dressing, they exited the flat and entered the elevator together with their luggage.

They hired a taxi outside the building going to the airport.

The couple arrived at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport for approximately forty minutes and still have thirty minutes to spare before their flight takes off.

They went to a restaurant for a quick lunch.

Done eating, they entered the departure area waiting for their flight call.

~~~0~~~

The plane takes off leaving the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.

It was a smooth flight and no turbulence in the air because the weather is good.

One hour and twenty minutes later.

The plane touches down in Puerto Princesa International Airport.

From there, the couple boarded the minibus...a transportation service offered by Harmony Oceanfront Resort for their VIP guest.

They arrived at their luxurious chosen villa with its fabulous infinity pool overlooking the ocean. It's an excellent destination for honeymooners because the place was a secluded area. The villa was equipped with complete luxurious amenities that can please even the most discriminating guest.

It boasted a spacious bedroom, sparkling clean bathroom, mini-kitchen, living room, and a spectacular swimming pool that can take your breath away.

The couple settled in the lounge chairs beside the infinity pool facing the ocean, they decided to wait for the beautiful sunset.

Mike ordered dishes for dinner using the telephone located on the table in the corner.

Caroline stood up and went to the fridge and took two cans of soda. She went back to the lounge chair and handed the other bottle to her husband.

She looked at the ocean...so calm... she roamed her eyes around the area. The villa was surrounded by green scenery and a stunning ocean with white powder-fine beaches.

The romantic sunset was unfolding in the couple's eyes as the sun was casting a mesmerizing orange glow to the entire island.

"Amazing isn't it?" Mike looked at her wife's eyes lovingly, he reached for her right hand and squeezed it affectionately.

Caroline smiled. "Yeah...the most stunning sunset I've ever seen!" she gushes.

"According to the resort's website...there is a Marine Sanctuary located nearby. We will visit it tomorrow, sweetie. They also offer lots of water sports. We can go snorkeling, jet skiing, kayaking, parasailing and there's also a private boat charter. Just choose any of the sports you want to do tomorrow..." he suggested.

"Can we try all the water sport?" she asked jokingly.

"Sure. If you're up for it. We can try two sports per day," he replied.

"Alright," she giggled excitedly.

The darkness was approaching rapidly...nightfall has started.

The lights shined brightly inside and outside the villa and the infinity pool was lighted with candlelit lamp.

The doorbell rings signaling the arrival of the food.

The butler entered the villa and arranged the dishes on the table located near the kitchen including the plates, spoon, and fork.

Mike ordered succulent seafood dishes such as Spicy Seafood Stew, Spiny Lobsters, and Squid, Garlic Butter Shrimp, BBQ Pork Ribs, rice, and soda.

He handed a hefty tip to the smiling butler.

"Thank you, sir!" the butler walked towards the door. "Just call the service, sir, after you are done eating so that I can take away the dishes," he said.

Mike nodded his head.

After the butler closed the door.

"Do you want to have dinner here... or in the swimming pool?" he suggested.

"Let's have dinner in the pool!" Caroline blurted out.

"Alright," Mike said.

They transferred everything in the pool area.

The couple began eating the mouthwatering dishes, surrounded by the beauty of nature.

After dinner.

The butler returned and took away the dirty dishes, then disappeared outside the door.

The couple remained in the pool area... totally spellbound by the romantic landscape illuminated by the full moon shining brightly in the heavens above.

"Perfect!" Caroline raves.

Mike smiled and wrapped his arms around his wife lovingly.

They enjoyed the spectacular scenery for a few hours.

At ten o'clock they put their stuff in the closet. Then retired in the bedroom and slept soundly, embracing each other.
