Ethan POV
Petal's words hit something deep inside, I made her worry and feel guilty in the day that she should be nothing but happy. But I ruined all of this.
"Don't say that." I said as I reached to cup her face."You have nothing to do with everything that happened. It's just that I was too overwhelmed, but I'm better now." I added, smiling at her.
Petal nodded her head slowly as she brought her face to me, pressing her lips on mine before she pulled away. She looked at me and said, signaling.
"I love you. I always will."
"And I will love you forever." I replied, kissing her forehead.
Today is a new start to our life, a new step, a new chapter that we will write on our own terms.
"I have something for you." I said to her and Petal looked at me, curious to know what it was.
"Wait here." I said and stood up, stepping out of the room for a minute, and went back with the gift in my hands.
Petal immediately recognized what the gift was and immediately unwrapped it and opened the violin container. With her fingertips, she traced the edges of the violin shape. She was happy and I was glad.
Choosing the right gift for Petal wasn't easy but after careful consideration, I managed to think of the perfect gift.
"If it's not too much to ask, I would like you to play the violin." I said, hoping she wouldn't refuse.
Petal looked at me and nodded her head before picking up the violin and preparing herself and then she started to play a piece that I'm not familiar with but it was so beautiful.
I didn't want to miss the chance to capture a moment like this. Taking out my phone from my pocket, I turned the camera on and started recording this moment. She looked like an angel while she was playing the violin. I couldn't take my eyes off her.
As Petal was playing the violin, she looked as if she was in another world, her body was here but her mind wasn't. She was simply fascinating.

Petal POV
By the time I finished playing the musical piece, I realized that Ethan was filming me. I became embarrassed. He was filming me the whole time.
"This was so good." Ethan said as he stopped filming. "You're talented." He complimented me.
I smiled as I put the violin back in its container. I was happy knowing that he liked it. "Thank you." I replied, signaling.
As Ethan was helping me to put back the violin in its container, my stomach made an embarrassing sound signaling that I was hungry.
"Let's get you fed." Ethan said laughing.
Slapping his arm, I pretended to be angry and looked at the other side but suddenly I felt my weight being lifted off the ground by him before he sat down on the chair and sat me on his lap.
"I would be a bad husband if I let my stay hungry on the first day of our marriage." Ethan said as he reached to cut the stack then stabbed it with a fork and brought it to my lips.
I immediately opened my lips and bit into it. It tasted so good, well cooked. Ethan made sure that I tasted every single dish that was on the table, by the time he finished, my stomach was full and I couldn't eat more. To stop him from feeding me as he was feeding a starving animal, I started feeding him and he gladly let me.
"Do you want to taste it?" Ethan asked me referring to the class of wine in his hand and I shook my head no, still sitting on his lap.
I always wonder how his legs don't go numb while having me sitting on him all this time.
He took another sip and asked another question."Is there a particular reason why I don't drink any alcoholic drinks?" He seemed curious.
"No, I just don't like drinking alcohol." I replied, signaling, and took a wine glass from him. "You shouldn't drink too much too." I added signaling.
Ethan laughed, resting his head on my chest but I pushed him back, wanting to see his face. I love hearing his laugh and seeing his smile. It always puts my heart at ease.
Our eyes locked and for a moment we just stared at each other with mixed feelings of passion and lust. I know that he wanted me to enjoy this day to the fullest but I can't resist my desire.
Slowly, I pressed my lips on his, kissed him and he responded with the same passion. The kiss was slow, and tender, savoring each other's taste. He tasted sweet and bitter just like the wine he was drinking.
We broke the kiss and stared at each other, lust took over us."Do you want to go to the bedroom?" He asked with a hoarse voice.
I nodded my head and he stood up carrying me in his arms, heading towards the bedroom. Once we entered the room I was surprised again by the sight of it. The floor and the bed were covered in petals. The bed sheets were changed into black silk once and there was a small black box on the bed.
Seeing all of this, an idea came to me. Turning around, I walked towards the door and locked it before I reached the zipper of my wedding dress and pulled it down, receiving a curious look from Ethan.
Reaching to pull my dress down at a slow pace, I kept my eyes locked with his. Though I was nervous, I tried not to show it.
This time, I wanted to be the one who made the first move.
