Fiona slowly opened her eyes. She had a good sleep last night. But, when she was awake, she felt something on her stomach. It felt like someone was pulling her. Her legs had intervened with some other person.

Her face was flushed with fear. She instantly turned around, and her forehead collided with something hard.

"Ow!!" Both said in unison.

Fiona was relieved to see Justin snuggling with her, but she blushed immediately. But because of their close proximity, both jerked and sat up immediately.

"Shit! I am so sorry. I didn't mean to do that. I swear I didn't do it intentionally... I mean..." Justin started rambling like crazy.

Fiona burst out laughing, which drew a questioning look from Justin.

"It's okay. It's not exactly your fault. I like to cuddle." Fiona told him embarrassingly.

He sighs with relief. "Phew! I didn't want to upset you."

"You didn't."

They were both silent for a while.

"So, what is t

    The next morning, the couple woke up a bit earlier than usual. But, unlike yesterday, today they decided to check out some of the tourist places in Paris. When Fiona was showering, Justin was checking out all the tourist places in the brochure. However, he had already visited Paris before. But that was because of his business; there were many places he had yet to visit. The Louvre, Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame de Paris, Arc de Triomphe, were a few of the places that he would like to visit with Fiona. When Justin walked out of the shower, he saw Fiona dressing herself up. He noticed she was having trouble zipping up her floral print dress. He walked towards Fiona and stood behind her. He felt her body stiffen, and he slowly made his hand move towards her zip. He takes his sweet time closing it. He bent a little and said, "You are welcome." And turned back, chuckling to himself. Fiona's face was priceless. She was blushing hard. But

    A week has gone by, and still, Justin couldn't say anything to Fiona, and today is the last day of their trip. Tomorrow, they will head back to their homes. "Hey!! What's wrong? You have been zoning out a lot since the morning." Fiona asked him. Worry was written all over her face. "Nothing, it's just today is our last day of vacation, and after a day or so, we have to get back to work." "Yeah, I know." She said sadly. "I want to say something." He blurted it out of nowhere. "Um, sure, say?" This was the perfect opportunity to pour his heart out. "Oh, I wanted to say that... The weather today is very pleasant. Don't you agree?" 'Seriously, the weather?' Justin cursed himself mentally. "Oh yeah, I guess." "I want to say something else." "Ok, go ahead." She said it carefully. Justin took her hands into his, and they fit perfectly. "Your hands are so soft." He said it unconsciously. "Thanks,

    Justin kept one of his hands on her cheek and slowly leaned in. She closed her eyes and felt his lips on her. Sparks flew through them during the kiss. She had always read in a book about electricity or sparks passing through during moments like this but never thought that she would ever feel it. When Fiona kissed Justin back, he was beyond shocked. They were in the same position for a few more minutes until she pulled back to take a breath. They were both breathless. "I like you," Justin said with full honesty. Finally!! She was going to say something, but he interrupted her. "Please let me finish. I won't be able to say this to you again." She nodded. "I really like you more than a friend. I know you wanted to say that the kiss was a mistake." She opened her mouth, but he kept his finger on her lips. "But I can't forget what happened at this moment, and I don't want to. I know that we have only known each other for tw

    The couple was on their way back to their house. Their brief honeymoon trip was unfortunately over. That means back to work-life, unfortunately!! "Hey, what are you thinking?" Fiona asked, interrupting Justin's thoughts. "About how I'd like to spend my time with you rather than working." He blurted out sadly. "Oh, come on. I thought you were a workaholic." She quoted, nudging him slightly. "Yes! But that was before you came into my life." He kissed her on the cheek. "Sir, ma'am, please fasten your seat belts. We are about to depart." The air hostess informed them. Both of them gave her a nod. "So where were we...? Oh, how you came into my life, and now I don't want to work because I want to spend my time with you." He winked. "You make it sound like a bad thing," she stated, shaking her head. "Nope, I do not. You made my priorities change within three weeks, whereas my mom and dad have been trying for years."

    "Bloody hell." Fiona and Justin both said it in unison. "Surprise!" Said the two people standing in front of them with sly smiles on their faces. "Surprise!! Are you freaking kidding me? What the hell have you two done to this place? And you are telling me surprise." Fiona shouted at both of them. "Fiona, relax. Grace will clean this up!" Justin tried to calm Fiona down. Fiona responded with a look that said, 'Are you kidding me?' To which he just shrugged. Fiona gave him a warning glare, which made him shut up. She moved towards the man, who had a shocked expression on his face. "Look, Mister, I don't care if you are Justin's best friend. But I definitely know that you have destroyed my home, and you will clean this mess up within an hour." Beside him, Em was smirking. "Girl, you are helping him. You are not getting away from this." To which she tried to protest. "I don't care if you are my best friend.

    "What do you mean by a fight at first sight?" Fiona asked them curiously. "Um, it's a long story." James tried to dodge the subject. "We are up for it." Justin stated. "Yes, I would really like to know why both of you vandalized our home? So, spill the beans." Fiona intruded. They all sat on the couch. Justin and Fiona were eager to learn their story. From what they remember, Emily and James met for the first time at their wedding rehearsals. But they never got the chance to interact. They have been introduced formally, but nothing more or less. "Where do I begin?" James wondered. "Beginning." Justin proposed. Before James could speak, Emily butted in, "I will start, as I was the one who came here first." Emily gave James a look which clearly stated, 'Don't you dare interrupt me until I am done talking.' "Well, I came to your house two hours before your arrival to give you a surprise. I know it's stupid of me to

    The next morning when Fiona opened her eyes, she remembered about last night after a few moments. During the middle of their conversation, she drifted off to sleep. She doesn't really know what their reaction was, but she could clearly imagine it. Emily is throwing colorful words at Justin. What a delightful sight that might have been. "Penny, for your thoughts." Justin came inside with two cups of coffee. Her train of thoughts was soon interrupted. "Just thinking about Emily and James reaction." "It was a traitor's move to fall asleep in the middle of our conversation and leave me alone to deal with those two nightmares. But yeah, they were definitely shocked and angry at first. However, they are glad that we are giving our relationship a chance. So you don't need to worry about it." Fiona let out a sigh of relief. "I will talk to Emily in the office then, and yeah, sorry for that, didn't realize when I drifted off to sleep." "No worries, now

    Well, that's for me to know and you to find out." Justin smirked. "You know what, Fi? Your hubby is really annoying the hell out of me." Em was irritated now. "What's gotten into your pants? I was just building suspense." "Well, you are terrible at it, then." James sounds bored. Fiona was yawning now. "Okay-okay, I am telling you. So, from now on, you'll be working for me." He clapped his hand. "Excuse me." Both the girls said it in unison. "Dude, you are not making sense to them." James butts in. "My dear wife and her scary BFF. From tomorrow, I will be working with Fi and you in your workplace. Instead of dad, I will be your boss." "What!!" The girls said in unison. "Yes, Fi. We will work in the same office." "How is that supposed to be good news for me? Fi is the one who is in a win-win situation." Em stated. "When did I say the news was over?" He smirked again. "What do you me

    "Justin, Justin, please get up." Fiona was gently waking Justin up from sleep. "Is it morning? How come you are up so early, Fiona?" He asked, sleepily rubbing his eyes. "No, it's 1 in the morning." "What?" He asked in confusion. He checked his phone for the time and, dang, it was indeed 1 in the morning. Then the realization hit him, and he started to panic. "Is everything okay? Are you okay? Did something happen?" "Yeah, I am perfectly fine." He released the breath that he was holding. "Then why did you wake me up in the middle of the night, Fiona?" He groaned, rubbing his hair. He was ready to fall back asleep in his own bed. "I actually want to have chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream." She said it innocently with a smile on her face. "Whoa, what? You woke me up to have some chocolate cookie ice cream. Please tell me you are joking?" He asked her with wide eyes, trying not to glare at her.

    It's been almost a year since Justin proposed to Fiona, but it looks as if it was just yesterday. After his confession, they saw many flavors of each other. They got into arguments a few times, but that's part of every relationship. They did have their romantic moments every now and then. After his confession, he talked to Fiona about having a marriage ceremony again, but she didn't want that arrangement. She was happy with everything that had happened so far. So, instead of marrying again, they both went on a honeymoon, but for real this time. Even James and Em's relationship are getting stronger with each day. It's surprising, but soon after his confession, James proposed to Emy. Shocking, right? And the most flabbergasting thing is, Em said yes. Well, both are perfect for each other. So now both of them are engaged and sitting with them in their living area and discussing about their marriage. "Hello! Come to earth, Justin." Em was frantically waving both her hand

    A month has passed, and Fiona is completely back to normal. All her injuries have been healed. This month has been interesting, as Justin has seen various faces of her. She had started opening up to him. It's safe to say that she trusts him with her life. They have been on a few dates and outings. They also had a little brunch with Emy, James, Mason, and Kristy. As for Emy and James, surprisingly, their relationship is growing stronger with every day. Strange! But true. As for Justin's relationship with Fiona. Well, he still hasn't been able to man up and confess it to her. Surely, she knows that he likes her. But officially, he has not said anything to her. Hey! He does not say that he is gay, but he just backs out when it comes to confessing his feelings to her. He just can't go to her and tell her He LOVES her. He has to do something special for her. She deserved that, especially in the circumstances when they got married. But before that, he needed to plan someth

    It had been a week, and Fiona was still lying on the bed, all thanks to her dear husband, Justin. Note her sarcasm. She was capable of walking on her own, but Justin preferred to follow the doctor's orders. She was sure that this guy had broken all the rules in his life, and now he wanted to follow them. Of course, she knows that he is looking out for her. But if you had to sit for a full day on a bed doing nothing, then you would understand why she was so damn frustrated and agitated. "I am not coming," Justin growled. "I don't care... Cancel it, postpone it, but I am not coming." He banged the phone on the nearest table. "What's wrong?" Fiona asked him curiously. "Nothing major. There is a meeting which was to be held today, but I am not going." "You should go and attend it." She told him immediately. Not that she wanted him to leave the place, but she needed her space and walked around a bit. "Don't worry, Fi. It is taken care of. It's just

    When Fiona opened her eyes for the first time after the accident, she saw Justin's face. His eyes were red and puffy. He had some facial hair grown up. He looked tired. Before she could say anything, he ran away to call the doctor. Slowly, the complete picture became clear of her being in the hospital. She was informed that she had been out for almost two days because of a car accident. She also remembered her so-called talk with Anna. She tried to sit, but Justin helped her out. Before she could say thanks to him, he shook his head, bringing a smile to her face. Just when Fiona was going to talk to him, Em and James barged in. "Thank God, Fi, you are okay. If anything had happened to you, I would have killed that bitch." Em told. "Relax, Miley." James tried and calmed her down. He was stroking her back. "Yeah!! How are you feeling now?" She sat beside her. "Have been better." Unfortunately, her throat was still sore, and her v

    It was heartbreaking for James to see his best friend in this vulnerable state. Fi is good from the heart. Too good, in fact. A person like her doesn't deserve all this. Even Miley was heartbroken. He knows that he used to tease her and get on her nerves, but that was only to divert her attention towards him. So when he saw her on the hospital bench in a broken state, his heart clenched. She wasn't like other girls. Sure, she was feisty, but she was kind from the heart. He knows it is a cliché, but she is the kind of person he would like to spend his entire life with. He hopes she has the same feelings as him. But now, his major concern was Fi, who was fighting for her life. After the operation, it allowed only one person to stay at night with her, so it was Justin. So he took Miley home. Miley still could not believe that her best friend was fighting for her life. If it weren't for James, she would have killed Anna. James had always been there with her when she need

    Justin was in panic mode. When Fiona left to freshen up, he checked her phone. He knows that it is morally wrong, but he has to keep her safe. When he saw the look on her face when she read the message. She looked vulnerable and confused, so he had to check her phone. When he saw Noah's message, he was filled with rage. He couldn't believe that he still had the guts to text her, but at least he apologized. But when he saw a message from Anna, he was confused. Why did she want to meet Fiona in the park? Anna's message was something that concerned him. He can deal with Noah later, and after yesterday, he shouldn't be any problem. Knowing Fiona, she would go and meet her. But he was not going to follow her. When she would come back, he will confront her. He didn't want to leave her wife with that bitch, but Fiona needs closure. It had been three hours since Fiona had left, but there was still no sign of her. She had always texted or called him to let him know where she

    "Who changed my clothes? I don't remember doing it?" Fiona asked him in the morning when she realized that she wasn't in the same clothes as last night. Justin was rubbing his neck. Nervousness was written all over his face. "Um, well, you slept in the car, and I didn't want to wake you up. So, um, I changed you into my clothes." She blushed. "Oh, okay." She was the same color as a tomato. "Come on, let's get you something to eat," Justin told her. "I am really not hungry." She urged him to go ahead. "No. I can't do that, Fiona." He told her sternly. "You go ahead, and I will freshen up and come." "Okay, I will wait for you here." Justin knows what she was playing at, so two can play this game. "Fine, you are so damned stubborn," Justin smirked as Fiona huffed. He grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the living area. Grace set the table for them. Suddenly, Fiona's phone beeped.
