Blake walked out of the bathroom only to meet Arizona sitting on the bed. He could sense her tension, her uncertainty about their flash marriage.
"Arizona,why don't you go take a shower?" He suggested, his voice gentle. " It'll help you relax. I've already taken mine "he said.
Arizona turned to him, her eyes searching his face "okay.... I guess that's a good idea". She replied and smiled softly.
As they both lied on the bed, Arizona nervousness resurfaced.
"Blake" she called softly.
"Mmmm" he replied and they both turned, staring at each other.
"Aren't we ..... Aren't we going to do...." She said stuttering.
"Do what?" He teased.
"What couples do on their wedding night" she whispered with an heavy blush on her cheeks.
"Hey , we don't have to do anything, that are not comfortable with tonight, okay "he said, his eyes filled with understanding.
"Let's just sleep", he added
Arizona anxiety dissipated, replaced with gratitude.
"Thanks, Blake" she said and Blake wrapped his arms around Arizona, pulling her close.
"Good night zona " he whispered
"Good night Blake" she replied, her voice barely audible.
As they drifted off to sleep, Arizona realized that, she made the right choice. And tonight, she had found a partner who prioritizes her comfort and peace.
NEXT MORNING
Dim light illuminated on the king sized bed. Arizona long black hair spread on the white pillow.
Arizona woke up only to find the room empty with no sign of Blake in the room.
She sighed before walking into the bathroom to do her daily routine.
As Arizona made her way downstairs still getting accustomed to the grandeur of her new home, a feminine gentle voice reassured her.
"Good morning ma'am" a gentle voice said from behind her, she turned around to see who was behind her. It was a woman who would be in her late 40's.
"Good morning..." Arizona not knowing how to address her.
"Mrs Grace, ma'am" she said
"Arizona, you can call me Arizona" Arizona said
"I can't address you by your name, but I could call you, Mrs. Coster" she replied and Arizona blushed by being called Mrs. Coster.
"Okay " she said and turned around to continue exploring the mansion, when Mrs Grace said from behind her.
"Mr Coster has been waiting for you in the dining room".
Mrs Grace pushed open the door to the dining room. The sunlight streaming through the windows danced across the crystal glasses and silverware, casting a Kaleidoscope of colours on the tablecloth.
Blake was already seated at the table, looked up from his phone, his eyes looking onto hers with a warm smile.
"Good morning,beautiful " he said, his deep voice filled the room.
She smiled, her heart fluttering with emotion and glided towards him, her slippers whispering on the polished floor.
"Good morning, hubby" she replied, with a slight blush on her cheeks, her voice barely above a whisper.
As she sat down beside him, the butler, Charles and few maids appeared with breakfast on a tray and served it. Under your the butler's supervision,they both ate in absolute silent.
After breakfast breakfast,Blake and Arizona sat down in the living room. Arizona stared at him wondering, why he wasn't going to work.
"Blake, why aren't you going to work?" She asked curiously.
"I took a day off " he replied and she nodded.
"I'm going home to grab , few of my belongings" Arizona said
"Okay" he replied
"Will you.... Will you accompany me?" She pouted and whispered.
