CHAPTER 7: WEDDING NIGHT I
Diana tried to clear her throat so she could speak and choked on her own spit. She coughed continuously. James went behind her, held her up and used his big palms to tap her back gently. Why did she choke all of a sudden he thought to himself he was only teasing her.
Diana's eyes turned red due to the excessive coughing but she could not also ignore the hands that kept tapping her back because it made her feel hot she just couldn't. She could not handle being in the same room with him.
James led her to the sofa in the office and opened a bottle of water of her. Diana sipped on the water and took deep breaths to calm herself. James asked worriedly "are you okay?, Do you need something else?"
"I'm fine, just got a little choked up for a moment."
''Little you say hmm? You were coughing violently Diana incase u didn't notice. You know what, from now on you should talk without clearing your throat."
Diana: ...!
''And what was it u were going to say earlier hmm?"
Diana: "About that, i thought i was getting my own room?"
James: "And why would you think that, we are already married and married people share a room isn't that right?"
Diana: "well what if i get pregnant in the future...!"
James: "What?" This time it was his own turn to cough.
Immediately Diana realized what she said she swore against herself and bit her tongue. She handed the water to him guiltily ''here, you will need this".
''So how will you get pregnant if we don't share a room?" James asked
'Oh shit'! Diana thought to herself, did she just dig her own grave with her hands? At that moment she wanted to find a hole and crawl into because the embarrasment was already killing her must this damned man always have the words to respond, she really thought he was choking earlier maybe it should have been worse than that for him.
She nodded without saying anything, before she said another blasphemous thing.
''Come on'' James held her hand and helped her up. He took her straight to the room and opened the door as he stepped in with her.
Diana looked around the room, it was very manly in grey and black colours. The room was twice the size of her room and an additional half if not more than her sister's room with a huge bed at the corner of the room.
The bed had a sofa opposite it and a Tv that faced the bed directly at the end of the wall. There was a walk-in closet at the corner.
Yesterday her mom had made her move her things over she noticed now that her things were no where to be seen. She walked into the closet and noticed that her clothes and other stuff had been arranged on one side of the closet by one of the maids. She opened the order corner of the closet and noticed his own stuffs.
''If your looking for your shoes, they are at the last drawer".
''Ok''. Diana shook her head.
"If everything is not to your taste, you can always change it".
"Even the colours of the room?" Diana turned to him.
James kept quiet for a while as if contemplating whether to accept the idea or not. Then he suddenly said, "as long as its not pink, green or yellow you can change".
Diana laughed and James found out he loved the sound of her laughter.
"Damn those are all glaring colours", she said amidst laughter.
James smiled and looked at her "Why glaring, majority of girls love those''.
"Uhm well, not this girl", Diana said pointing to herself "and i think i can make do with this at least my presence will make it not to be so depressing".
"I can't wait", James responded smiling.
Immediately, Diana realized she had made another blasphemous statement, she quickly ran inside the bathroom and shut the door. she continuosly kept hitting her head on the wall over and over again calling herself all sorts of names.
James stared at the shut bathroom door and smiled before walking towards it. He knocked gently but there was no response he knew she must be very embarrassed so he said instead.
''Diana, hope your okay?" When she didn't respond he continued, ''i will send the maids to get you something to eat so just take your time refreshing, i will see you later".
Diana responded 'Ok' in a small voice that was barely audible but he heard it, then he left.
She sighed and looked around the bathroom that was twice bigger than her room and smelled like a manly scent of wood and spice.
The bathroom had everything one could ever want, a black sunken tub with whirlpool jets and gold fixtures, a Jacuzzi and a huge shower place. The floor was black and grey tile and the commode and sink were also black. The shower place was in the corner to the left of the tub and white towels and wash cloths hung from a rod nearby complimenting the colour of the bathroom. Two terry robes both adult sized hung at the edge of the shower door with other little equipment like the hand and feet warmer.
She thought to herself what was the point of having so many things in one bathroom, well she was going to know the essence later.
She came out of the bathroom and went to the walk in closet she picked the clothes she was going to need to change and went back into the bathroom. Since she didn't have her bodywash yet, she used his, changed and came out of the bathroom.
On entering the room, she laid her eyes on the sumptuous dinner that was brought to her and set out in front of the bed. Diana dumped her clothes in the closet neatly and went to eat. As she ate, she wondered mildly if her husband had eaten and where the hell he was.
When she finished eating, she found a button by the bedside and pressed it. A maid walked into the room.
Diana smiled at the maid sincerely and thanked her for the food. The maid was surprised but smiled back at her "your welcome ma'am". She stepped forward and carried the tray but before she left Diana asked her, "please where is James and has he had dinner?"
"Maam, your husband is in his study and no he has not had dinner. Hopefully he will, soon."
Diana nodded and decided to wait up for him as the maid left, she too had some things she needed to say to him. With that thought in mind, she went to the sofa and sat down with her phone she opened the phone and started replying to messages from her siblings and few of her friends that knew she was getting married.
Her Parents had also dropped a message asking how she was faring in her new home, her brothers were like she should call at the first sign of trouble and they will come carry her from there.
"Her friends were far more enthusiastic than everyone else. The last message she opened was from Phoebe. The moment Diana read it, she burst into laughter.
'My dear Diana, who knew your husband would be so manly and beautiful at the same time? He's exactly my dream man! Don't worry, I won't snatch him away from you, but if you don't hold him tight, I think Rebecca just might.'
Phoebe had even attached a JPG sticker of a doll sitting with its arms folded, laughing hysterically."
"Thanks sis for reminding me i will be sure to hold him tight". Diana responded.
She checked other chats and finally switched off her phone. Diana yawned and wondered why he was not back yet she positioned herself on the sofa to sleep. She had just closed her eyes when she heard the sound of the door open and immediately sat back up again.
