Chapter 4 - Never Have I Ever Been To My Honeymoon Alone

Honeymoon - vacation taken by a newly married couple after their wedding. The definition clearly does not include me in the mix. It has been 7 whole days with me at my honeymoon alone. My family has left and so I'm all alone in this island, oh and also with Blake. I try to pretend he never existed to start with but it's so hard when all the hotel helpers talk about him. The old will talk about how nice and caring he is, while the young talk about how his the most handsome man ever. Pshh, if only they knew.

Today in the early morning I had a conference call with the pastor that I regularly go to whom by the way was acting really out of the ordinary. He was the one that was supposed to lead the wedding but he had an emergency and thus assigned another one to us. It's like he knew something was up but still didn't say a thing. The one thing he said that still puts me at uneasiness was, God works in mysterious ways and I will see the plan he has for my life, not now but someday. And that I should trust in the process.

I don't know why he said those thing but maybe I will know. Talking to him helped me to feel much better. Today's scripture of the day is Isiah 55:9 and even though I had a lot of questions about the scripture regarding my current situation, I couldn't get them answered for I haven't told the pastor what really happened. Regardless, I got to learn a lot and feel my spiritual strength getting back.

Anyways, I received my prize from the photography activity and got the picture framed in the hotel, exactly when you walk in! And the prize was a new camera - canon EOS 5D Mark IV + EF 24-105mm f4 L IS USM II - DSLR and wait for it- free food for the entire stay!!!! I know right, these people are geniuses.

"When are you going to stop looking at the picture as if it's your first time seeing it?" Blake appears from nowhere, whispering into my ear.

Turning around, I take in the appearance of the crazed person before me. He is wearing a black well fitted shortsleeved shirt - that is revealing his huge arms and a black torn jean that does not hide his well shaped legs even when hidden - someone does not miss leg day.

"It's my work so I won't stop looking at it." I fake smile at him and walk out the hotel doors with no absolute clue of where I'm going. Might as well visit the famous spots again.

Before I could rent one of the bikes from the hotel, Blake pulls my hand towards his car.

I do exactly what my mind tells me to do, "Help!" I scream as loud as I could and miserably try to pull my hand out of the perpetrator's strong one. Getting really irritated, Blake picks me up and throws me over to his shoulder. My kicks and screams seems to be unheard to the human ears.

With people watching and giggling, Blake pushes me into his car and also gets in. Before I could get angry at him, I get fascinated by the car I'm in. Being rich is super fun. You get to drive the most beautiful car inside and out. Feeling my body getting comfortable with the soft and very comfy seat of Blake's car, I instantly forget how I was forced into the car.

"Are you seriously having an intimate moment with my car seat?" Blake asks very weirded out.

"Obviously not," I roll my eyes at him but continue to adore the car. "I am just appreciating good things. And where are we going? I don't remember putting you in my agenda for the day. And don't you think it was sort of extra to bring a car to an island? A small one at that."

"We are going somewhere nice, you look like you need a place to get your mind off things and you did put me in your agenda for the day, you just don't remember," he winks at me and smiles. "And I know that the island is small but do you want to walk for 2 hours?" Seeing the horrified look on my face he smiles even more, "I thought so."

The drive was long, very long but comfortable. I got to see the beauty of nature once again. We passed a lot of brightly green trees that looked strong and full of life.

The car abruptly comes to a stop and Blake exists with me following behind. What might look like an ordinary spot with trees suddenly becomes a dainty the moment Blake moves the long huge branches aside. A waterfall is visible from our standing area and deep water below us that look so clean with different colored leaves from the trees in it.

I turn to look at Blake and almost give him the biggest warmest hug but stop myself when I see him standing before me with nothing but his underwear. Winking at me, he jumps straight into the water a lot of meters above from us. He hits the waters and after a few moments, he resurfaces after being in the water.

"COME IN! THE WATER IS AMAZING!" He yells at me.

"I CAN'T! I DON'T HAVE A SWIMMING SUIT!" I yell back.

"YOU DO! JUST UNDER YOUR CLOTHES!"

Is he serious? Looking around I try to think of what to do but with nothing coming up, I unbutton my jeans and remain with only my underwear and white huge shirt that I had tucked in fashionably. I close my eyes and take a deep breath in before jumping from above down to the waters. You should've heard my terrified scream and seen how I was kicking my feet while in the air.

But the water was warm and comforting, I guess Blake was right. Pulling my head out of the water, I find myself face to face with Blake. I can't pinpoint the look on his face but what I can pinpoint is how his stare causes my breath to hitch in my throat and my stomach to start knotting. What is going on with me?

Blake shakes his head and after a while holds his breath and disappears under the water. The moment he vanished from my eyes, I could feel the force that made me to have no control over my body, weaken and gave me access to also disappear into the water and push away all the thoughts accumulating in my mind.

After hours of splashing each other with water and swimming races, Blake and I finally got out. Thinking that we had to climb up for several more hours to reach where our clothes were, Blake made that thought disappear as there was a cave that would lead us back to our starting point. Because my shirt was wet, Blake borrowed me his and yes, it did look like a dress on me but still looked perfect. He wore my shirt so that he won't walk around only in his jeans but my poor shirt couldn't take his muscles that it ripped. Not in half but still ripped. After a lot of convincing he let me take some few pictures for my i***a of both the nature and me with nature.

We returned back to the hotel and I never thought that a day will come whereby Blake and I would actually have fun. But I never ever thought that I would feel some type of way towards him.

Thank God he has some business thing going on so he left my side the moment we reached the hotel. I on the other hand went to my room and had a long bath.

Finished with the bath, I put on my gown and listen to my voicemails. Most are from my colleagues and boss who were congratulating me of such an amazing step in my life. And others are from mom while none from Steven. Sighing, I put my phone down and pick up the hotel's phone to make an order - a huge one.

While waiting for my food to arrive, I moisturise my body and comb my hair but continue to stay in the gown.

"Room service!" A voice says on the other side of the door after three knocks. I sprint towards it and upon opening, I am instantly hit with the most amazing food aroma. Someone give the chefs some bells.

"Thank you." I smile at the young gentleman before me and take the food trolley from him.

Opening the first dish, I am hit with the fresh smell of a pizza that looks delicious - didn't know fancy hotels could serve pizza but hey, who am I to complain? Opening the second dish, I'm hit with the mouthwatering smell of a mixture of lemon, brown chocolate and mint muffins with a custard on the side. The third dish has vanilla ice-cream. There is a bowl of strawberries and melted chocolate at the end of the trolley. Then there is a 100% orange juice waiting for me to pick up. I clap my hands in satisfaction and turn on my laptop for a great back to back watching of _Never Have I ever_… maybe this honeymoon isn't so bad after all.
