Ophelia got inot the room and shut the door before locking it with the key, she placed her back on the door and put her hand across her beating heart. She replayed the event in her mind to see what he had done that was so special causing her heart to beat as rapidly as it was but she found nothing.“What is wrong with you Ophelia Rainbow Frost?” she asked herself loudly and then stopped to laugh at herself. She walked to the mirror to look at herself, Did her name change to Vale now that she was married to him?“I always liked my name, it always reminded me that we have no frozen rainbows and that they only last for a short time but they are always so beautiful, that it was hard to look away. “One more thing to talk to him about” She turned to the back of her dress and sighed, she wondered why these dresses were made in this manner, it was as if they wanted the person wearing the dress to be unable to take it off themselves. She needed help and she knew she could not ask him. They w
“Come let us eat this” Cade said with two plates in hand as he walked to the dining table. “Okay we are eating there” she murmured following him. He set down the plates opposite each other and waited to choose a side before sitting down. “You made this?” she asked looking down at her plate to see the pasta meal, she wondered how much time she had spent upstairs for him to have enough time to make this. “Yes,” he beamed as if he had been waiting for her to give him that compliment. “Why don’t you try it?” he gestured to her. She smiled taking away the hair that had fallen to her face and wrapping it around the bundle of hair behind her head. She never took food as a joke and was well-invested in having good meals. She would be elated if the meal before her turned out to be a fantastic one. “Are you confident in your skills?” she asked taking up the cukterly and swirling it in between her fingers. “Of course, I am not just the nation's boyfriend for nothing” he smirked. She took
“Let us talk about our sleep arrangements” she said and he nodded. “Okay go on”“Why are you asking me to go first?” Ophelia asked tilting her head. “Because looking at your eyes you look like you have a lot to say at the moment,” he said sipping from his cup before adding “A lot” “Yes, I do have a lot to say, but you might want to say one or two things,” She said. She did not want to seem self-centred and be the one always talking about herself and what she wanted without caring about him. “I have no conditions no expectations so you can tell me and I will do my best to follow them after all we are in this relationship because I need it so badly” he answered and she nodded. “You are not expecting us to have sexual relations are you?” she asked and he choked coughing loudly. When she said sleeping arrangements she did not think he would be talking about sleeping together and now he wondered why he thought so narrow-minded about it. “Is that a wrong question?” she asked turning
Cade lay on the bed with his face towards the ceiling, he had been staring at the ceiling for some time the playback of their conversation running through his mind. He tried to understand her standpoint point but for some reason, his own judgment could not allow him to see her point of view clearly. Maybe he was been biased thinking of himself only. “It was not too strange that she is asking us to abstain” he said to himself turning to his side. As he turned his eyes caught the clock. It had been an hour since he laid down and for some reason, his mind could not shut down so he could sleep. “Cade Fred Vale” he said sitting up and calling his name as though he was trying to call himself to order. “This is no time to worry about such things” he said and stood up going to the floor and trying to tire himself out. Maybe if he did some exercise he would be too tired to think about their conversation and just sleep off. The party stress must have not been enough to knock him out at once.
Ophelia stopped at a store from her run back, she was going to gift him something to apologize even though she did not feel as though she had done anything wrong. She was being honest with herself but she knew that their being at loggerheads was going to affect the way they acted in public and they did not need all that drama at all. She did not know his preference so she did not know what to get him instead she got him something very pricey without considering if he would like it or not. The issue was not the gift because any gift she was about to gift to him, she was sure he could afford it. She just wanted to give the gesture so he would not be mad anymore. She would have gotten him a custom-made gym wear if she had enough time but she settled with getting him an ordinary set.She waited in the living room for him so there was no way for him to run away from her. She heard him come in and the door open. She picked up the paper bag and bottled water she had prepared and went to sta
Surprisingly Ophelia agreed to make up with Cade at that moment and they agreed that having meals together while being friends was not too much as long as they did not overdo it."Let us make a pinky swear that none of us will fall in love with the other party," she said stretching her pinky to him."A pinky swear? What are you five?" he asked amused by her mind and the way it worked."Well, a pinky swear was never said to only be done by children, adults can totally make pinky swears" she said a frown and warning expression on her face."Okay, so I totally agree with you that none of us should fall in love with the other and to make it better I do not believe in love but..""Don't you dare say what if, it is impossible and will never happen so just swear now" She cut him off before he could paint a scenario. She feared that any scenario he might make up might make sense making her consider it if it ever came up."Just look at it like a ten-year contract strictly business" she explain
Cade and Ophelia went down to the car and he drove her to the venue of her meeting with her friends. As they approached the venue, Ophelia began to think of the possibility that her friends might recognize eCade but she did not think too much about it. Cade had always been that popular guy even when they were in school. Almost all girls who like to party knew that one guy who spent a lot while partying."Do you want me to wait till you are done?" Cade asked as he pulled up into the car park of the restaurant."Do you want to?" Ophelia asked taking off her seat belt and turning to face him."Well I have no idea how long it might take you so I don't know" he said shrugging as he mirrored her action."It might take us a while since it's been a while since we were all together in the same place so I don't think waiting for me is the right thing to do" Ophelia told him.He bit the corner of his lips as he thought. If he dropped her off and allowed her to use a taxi service home he would no
"Girlll" Sarah exclaimed as soon as they sat down. They had hugged each other and caught a bit while standing till one of them brought it to their attention that they had been standing for a while now.Ophelia had always stuck out like a sore thumb and luckily for her so was the same with Nancy and Sarah, they happened to meet at the university and suddenly began to compliment each other so well that they knew they had to be friends. The three of them knew of Cade and she had to hide from them the escapades she had with him that night."Don't start" Ophelia said, she knew how dramatic Sarah could be and how far they both could take their teasing. She would do the same for him."Is that the same Cade Frost?" Nancy asked not able to believe her ears. It was impossible that the man responsible for any tears in six years while in Starlit Haven looked that happy with the girl also responsible for turning so many men down as well."The same one" Ophelia responded."How did this happen? I wa
