Chapter 3: Honeymoon

Dexter POV 

“For how long we will be here, Dexter?” 

She walked around the hotel room and the look on her face expressed her satisfaction. 

“Depends how long you want to stay,” I walked towards her that stood on the balcony. I wrapped my arms at her waist, embracing her from behind. I buried my face on the crook of her head, inhaling her scent. 

“We can’t stay for a long time. I’m worried about Andrea.” 

“Damn, I forget that she is not here with us. We should bring her along. I don’t understand why she refuses to come along. She is so stubborn.” 

“Yeah, stubborn like her daddy Dexter,” she teased me. 

“I think it’s more like her mommy Elsie, see how her smart mouth defeated me every day. You guys made a good team, like mother like daughter.” 

“My poor husband being alone on the other side.” 

“Not for a long time I think.” There is a moment of silence between us and without looking at her face, I knew that she must in her deep thought while frowning. 

“Don’t frown, love. The wrinkle will appear on your face if you keep doing that.” I teased her with a smile on my face while my fingers were busy playing with her long hair. 

“What do you mean by that?” She responded. 

“I want baby,” I whispered the sentence near her earlobe which caused her to giggle like a little girl. She turned around and face me. Her hands found their way to the back of my neck. 

“So, you are saying that you need someone to team up with you and you are asking for my help to create that baby for you?” 

“Of course, it’s you. I don’t think you will like it if I ask for another girl’s help in this matter.” Her eyes widened and she slapped my chest hearing my sentence. I couldn’t hide but laughed at her action. 

“Don’t you dare to think about that.” She poked at my chest a few times while narrowed her eyes on me. 

“Never, Mrs. Anderson,” I grabbed her hand and kissed the back of her palm before continue, “I will contribute to that too. It’s fair enough for me since Andrea is already on your side. So, are we closing the deal?” 

“Look at your skill at persuading people. What if I say no for now?” 

“Then, we will do it with my way.” 

“As always.” She rolled her eyes playfully. 

“As always.” I reminded her slyly. 

***** 

I turned her body to face me so that I could look at her mesmerizing face. She immediately clutched closer to my body and her hands hugged my body warmly. She is still in her deep slumber with her eyes shut. My eyes wandered over her face, allowing my memory to remember every inch of her face. 

Suddenly, the ringtone of my phone breaks the silence of the room. I raised my hand to grab the phone that was placed on the nightstand beside me while didn’t letting go of her body that was still laying on my arm. 

The name on the screen made a smile crept on my face. I immediately slide to the green arrow to answer the call. 

“Hello, sweetheart.” 

“Hello, daddy. How have you been? Are you in the hotel?” 

“Yes, sweetheart. We arrived a few hours ago. How are you there? Have you eaten your lunch? Is everything good there?” 

“You sound like an old man, dad.” I heard her laughter afterward. I can’t even say anything about that. 

“I’m just worried about you. Tell me what are you doing at home today? Do you miss me?” 

“I miss you a little, dad.” She definitely knew how to tease me. I would pinch her chubby cheek hard if she was in front of me. 

“I already had my lunch for today and it will be dinner time soon, dad. By the way, where is my mommy? Can I talk to her?” 

“Your mom is sleeping. I knocked her down, she is tired and-” 

Before I could finish my sentence, the phone was being snatched from my hand. 

“What are you talking about, Dexter? You can’t say things like that to a kid.” Obviously, she was fully awake by now. I laughed while she sends me a glare of death before putting the phone on loudspeaker. 

“Hello, princess. How are you?” 

“Hello, mommy. I’m fine. How are you there? Did daddy bully you? Just now he said he knocked you down.” 

Her statement made me laughed harder. Elsie slapped my arm while adjusted her position and she laid on her stomach flat on the bed with the phone in between of us. I rested my back on the headboard with my arms behind my head. 

“Nothing, princess. You know your daddy well. He just loved to bluff.” 

“What to do, mommy. That’s the guy that you married.” Elsie’s mouth parted in shock with Andrea’s statement. I burst out in laughter for the second time. 

“Tell me about your day, princess. How is everything there? Did everyone treat you nicely?” 

“I play with my doll and I do some coloring too. Uncle Alex spend some time with me also today. We have so much fun. He is good at coloring. He helped me to color some of my books. Don’t worry, mommy, no one dare to bully me here. I have Uncle Alex to protect me.” 

“I see that you are in a good term with Uncle Alex. Watch out, sweetheart, I will be jealous.” I said, pretended to be in my sulking mood. 

“Old person getting jealous is so ugly, daddy!” She giggled over the line and at the same time, Elsie was enjoying the moment too. She laughed till she rolled on the bed. I massaged my temple as if I was in deep pain with the attack. 

“You’re so naughty, Andrea Anderson.” My words only caused her to giggle more. 

“I need to go, dad, mom. Dinner is ready. I will call again tomorrow, okay?” 

“Alright, princess. Make sure to eat well and sleep on time, okay?” 

“Okay, mommy. Love both of you.” 

“Love you too, princess.” 

“Love you too, bad girl. Bye.” 

“Bye, bad daddy.” 

She hangs up the phone before I could say anything to her. 

“Oh my, where did she get that smart mouth?” I shook my head in disbelief. 

“From the gene, I guess.” 

“I can see that you really enjoy this.” I hovered over her and pressed her body underneath me but making sure not too much till it hurt her. She didn’t say anything but giggle at my action. 

“Are you tired, love? Should we go out for dinner or call for room service?” 

“I think we should go out. We haven’t stepped out of the room since we arrive.” 

“What to do? We’re busy with indoor activity.” I smirked noticing her blushed cheeks. 

“Let’s get ready. I’m hungry.” She ignored my remark. 

“Come, shower together. It will save a lot of time.” I lifted her from the bed and carry her to the bathroom in my arms. Her laughter echoed in the room. 

“I did not mention that I will take shower with you, Dexter.” 

“From the way you look at me and hold onto me right now, I knew you want it badly, but you just want me to make the first move, am I right, love?” I raised my brow, looking down at her. 

She didn’t say anything but a smile on her face was enough to convince me.
