Contract Marriage With My Ex — Chapter 39. Date

When my eyes unlatched I found myself in an amusing well ventilated, high class room with lavish furniture. The walls were painted with soft maroon colour and flooring of white tiles intrigued my imagination. The room was as good as I could ever imagine in my dreams.

Everywhere my pupil stayed, all I can see was something unique very well conveying that the room was located in a seven star expensive hotel! I was in the bed comfortably covered with the thick feathery quilt. Payton must have brought me here while I was asleep.

He can be such a gentleman! I never knew it.

Slipping out my body from the covers as I stepped down, the skin of my feet came in contact with a feathery floor mat with white fur as if it was made with feathers. I slightly brushed my feet over it making my hair into a bun. The lights emitting in the room made it hard for me to understand whether it was still day or evening.

With soft cozy steps taken ahead as I moved near the big balcony, I pushed aside the curtains, “Wow! That is— indescribable!” I rubbed my arms batting my lashes at the heart soothing scenario in the front. It was evening, and I cannot describe its beauty.

The starry sky made my stomach to flutter. May be because Billy loved it! He would stand near the floor to ceiling long balcony placing his little palms on the transparent glass and stare out at the sky for hours until I would pull him to my arms and take him down!

Ugh, why can’t I get his images out of my head. Why do I keep on thinking about him. He was not even my own son that, I had to feel this way. Does this mean, I am missing him?....

‘Yes, you do. You miss his antiques. You miss his voice, you miss his inaudible accent and his cute way of calling you mamma. You miss caring for him!’

No, that is not true!

I do not miss him at all. I really don’t.

I respect the decisions I made thinking about my heart first but here, I am not wrong. My heart is. It does not want to accept the tyrannies I had seen in life under his absence in the last years. But on the other hand, it wants to support that cruel fake contracted husband of mine!

“Hey lovely lady!” I jumped in my spot feeling a pair of hands encircle around my waist. “Hmm let me guess it? You had a great sleep. And now you want to go and explore the Capital city?” I smiled as he said resting his chin on my shoulders.

I was having a great time standing under his cage of arms. His embrace was uncomfortable. I never had let any other guy touch me like this before. In the past as well as till last week, it was only Raven who got that close to me. “So do you want to go to the fair tonight only or shall we go to a good beach side candlelight dinner?” His words set my body on fire.

I hugged my arms placed over his on my stomach silently. It was damn unnerving. Shit, I cannot stand in his arms. I don’t feel good. Something is stopping me, Uhh, my heart does not want to get this strange feeling.

“Uhh Payton!” It almost came out of my mouth like a gasp while I worked on the locks of his fingers. Pulling apart his arms I stepped out trying to compose myself. “Uhm, I…” There were no words to say anything.

Even I don’t know what was I feeling! I like his actions, his behaviour but when it comes to sharing space together with him in his arms, I cannot take that. It seems like my ethics are not allowing me. WHY! Why cannot I do that.

Why do I have to feel like this!

I know I am here with him for a purpose. I want to move on in my life but this, does not sound or seem correct! “Uhh Payton I am—” I still fidgeted with my speech looking down. I don’t know what was going on with me? Why is this happening! It was my freaking decision to move on after taking my revenge but now, it all looks very difficult.

“Uhh,Kiara I just got a message from my friend who stays here, You get ready, I will come and take you out somewhere. Meanwhile— I will just go and greet him.” He feigned to type something on the phone while saying that to me.

I thankfully gazed him as he just smilingly walked out. Before closing the door on his back, he gave me a flying kiss with a wave of hand. It was cute. He is so respectful then why my heart is not letting me take a decision.

“Shit! I swear you will be the death of me Kiara! I am just getting madder and madder looking at you.” Exclaiming with a flushed face adoring a helpless smile, he shyly bit his small finger like a kid.

Awww, that was so cute. My Billy does the same!

Wait! He is not my Billy. Why can’t this stupid heart understand this simple thing straight!

“ Hey, are you alright! Don’t tell me you are sleepy again!” I sighed blankly sensing a tug on my wrist.

When I was really in my mind, I realized our fingers were locked together and the cool winds tickled our faces. His humorous behaviour helped me forget Billy.

I forgot to describe the context!

We were standing alongside the shore of the beach house that he told me was supposed to be our first place for staying, however he had to change it. Reason, untold. Just that he mentioned, we will surely visit this house from the inside after I would tell him yes!

Any ways, he asked for my hand and helped me sit in the chair placed across a circular table decorated with delicacies. There were fragrant candles in the surrounding hanging in mid air over the circular frame of wooden blocks that was decorated with white and pink ribbons and balloons. “Dedicating this night to the loveliest lady I know!” He kissed my knuckles serving me the food in the plate.

Uhhh, he’s so charming!

Tbc…
