You look beautiful Scarlett.
Thank you!
No, I mean it. My wife is the most beautiful woman I have ever set eyes on. He said with a smile as he took my hand and swirled me in a cycle for him to take in my natural beauty.
You compliment me a lot, I might get used to it Hubby. She said with a wide smile.
You should get used to it, because I'll be telling you every day.
Besides complementing me, what else do you have for me? Earlier today you wanted to tell me something. I asked with curiosity but I didn't miss how his demeanour shifted, more like I hit a nerve. Did I say something wrong?
No, you didn't. I just... Scarlett, I'm not a saint, what if you despise me if you find out about me? I asked with worry, for the first time in forever I felt my hope hanging on a thin thread.
I'm not so judgemental Hubby, maybe if you tell me I won't see any reason to despise you. She said trying to convince me.
There's a lot you'll understand with time, I promise I'll tell you, but for now please let's just start by getting to know each other more ok? He said with pleading eyes
Okay, I responded realizing how uncomfortable he was.
So,... Any friends? He asked with a cute smile.
No, I don't have friends. I'm a bookworm and I've always had my brother in the sweetest form so I never saw the need for a friend. I explained.
So you're not going to have someone to smile with, in a picture of your graduation?
I don't think it's necessary, I've got my parents, my brother and... You!! I said pointing out and he chuckled, his laugh made my heart flutter and he was handsome in every way.
Baby Scarlett, ... He said with a smile playing on his lips. Well, aren't you the one with good thoughts!!
What's funny? I asked confused.
The fact that you're adding me to your grad photos without asking me is a bit funny.
Oh... I said a bit offended. So I'm I supposed to ask for your permission first?
Not like that but... Scarlett... I'm not a picture kind of person if you've checked the house you'll realize only 3 pictures are here which includes our wedding picture.
I noticed that, but can't you make an exception for me? I asked with hopeful eyes.
Hm!... Let me think about it for a second, he said pondering for a while. How about this... Get extinction in your exams and be the best student, then I'll be in your graduation photos. He proposed with a smile.
Is that all? I asked not shaken by his request.
Yes, that's all.
Okay then. I look forward to taking sweet pictures with my hubby.
You don't seem scared, he said not surprised but rather impressed.
No, I'm not. I said flatly.
And why's that?
No reason I said with a shrug. Not to brag but I've been a top student so I can't wait to see the reaction on his face when I come out as the overall best. It's going to take up my time but I guess it's worth it. He's too good-looking for a man, he could even pass a beauty test effortlessly.
You're sure that's the only thing? Cause you're too calm. He said with a cheesy smile.
Yes, I don't have any reason. By the way, speaking of pictures who's the lady in the big portrait hanging in the living room? I asked curious, and his mood changed swiftly for a second but I didn't miss it.
It's getting late, please go in I have to finish up some paperwork.
Mav...did I say something wrong?
No, you didn't I just have a lot to attend to right now, let's go in, he says standing up.
Can I stay out for a while? I asked calmly.
No, Scarlett you should go in you just left the hospital.
Okay, I responded as I followed him in.
Nanny, please help her sleep well I have something to do, he informed the chief maid as he placed a gentle kiss on my forehead. I'll be with you before you know it okay?
Okay, I responded hugging him. After that, I turned and went with the maid.
MAV'S OFFICE...
Hello?
The kingdom needs you, what are you still doing there?
Mum for crying out loud I'm a busy person what do you need me for?
That doesn't answer my question, young man! She barked. What are you still doing there, when you have responsibilities?
I'm a married man now, I can't just disappear into thin air, I'll send someone over and after that, I'll see what to do about it.
You need to stop this Azreal!! This world needs you. She tried to reason out.
No, you stop this! This bickering and nagging of yours is driving me insane I'll send someone there, period, and I'll talk to you when need be. I said disconnecting the call.
THE MASTER BEDROOM...
Scarlet's pov
Did I say or do something wrong? Why does he shut me out whenever I try to ask him something personal? What is he really hiding from me, a man like him has no reason to behave like that over something very simple, I know I should trust him completely, in fact, I already do but there's this unsettling feeling I'm having in the pit of my stomach, what could he be hiding?
Scarlett, you should be in bed by now. His deep muscular voice startled her, derailing her from her thoughts.
Sorry, I..., I started but couldn't finish my sentence as my eyes met his well-sculptured body and hair that was dripping with water. I swallowed hard as my tongue got stuck in my throat and I couldn't breathe from all that I was seeing. Involuntarily my hands moved on their own tracing the fine lines of his abs, he was like a Greek god, he wasn't just handsome he was also beautiful in an intimidating way. As I looked up meeting his gaze his lips curled up in a sexy way as he said...
Aren't you the most curious virgin??... His voice was calm and steady but it had a sexy edge added to it.
