Chereads / Revenge In A Honeycomb / Chapter 2 - Sibling Rivalry

Chapter 2 - Sibling Rivalry

The lavender honey tea burned May's tongue, throat and much more. She dialed Liam's number on her phone and watched the screen as it rings. "Hi I just got home"."Liam let's get married in two weeks", May blurted out, to Liam's surprise. He'd  wanted that too, but when she clearly stated that they needed more time, he agreed and supported her, and honestly, he'd only started to enjoy the delay, it gave him ample time to know her on a deeper level, way beyond her beautiful exterior. He loved how outspoken she was, in a soft feminine way, she knew what she wanted and was never afraid to say it, she was kind and nurturing in a way that signaled self-sufficiency and high self-esteem. She also had her mean side. She could be really mean sometimes, but that only excited him more, as he never got tired of chasing her, such a mysterious woman she was. He was a shy and timid person, so he felt an audacious woman like her would complement him. Their kids could even have...  "  May interrupted his train of thoughts, "You see, my parents' twenty-fourth anniversary is next summer. I don't want our wedding to ruin their vacation or honeymoon plans."

"May dear", don't you think this is a bit sudden, and what will this new plan do to Arya's wedding?" ,he paused briefly and continued, "girls have dreams for their weddings. Having two weddings at once would be weird, wouldn't it?", May picked up a crystal earring that had fallen on the floor earlier that evening when she was quickly changing into her dress for her sister's cute engagement party. She was surprised when  Ross called her that afternoon and shared his plan to surprise his fiancé, and sought her help to  get everyone on board ,except the bride-to-be of course. She had intentionally kept Arya upstairs long enough for the decorations to be completed. She leaves when Ross calls Arya to cancel on her. Now that's what we call a grand romantic gesture, she saw her sister smile, blush and giggle in turn. What girl wouldn't be happy ? Throughout this little party , cameras clicked from every corner of the room, and before it was even over, the pictures were all over social media, with the appropriate hashtags. For May, the only fun thing to be right now was a bride, and she couldn't wait for next year, when there were so many exciting and thrilling events to expect.

"It's okay if you feel rushed ,I just can't wait to be Mrs Liam Calton" she said tearfully, feigning defeat. Liam's heart flipped,he was thrilled. "Its perfectly fine, princess, we can make immediate preparations". A smile suddenly crept on May's  face, that was easier than she thought ,it was time for an extravagant fanfare to happen. Wow!

"Let's talk about this in the morning" she said, suppressing a yawn. They blew each other their goodnight kisses ,hung up and May settled down to a good night's sleep, while Liam soaked himself in a warm bath  before lying comfortably in bed,"I can't wait to be Mrs Calton" These words kept ringing in  Liams head, May couldn't wait to be with him, it sounded too good to be true. He knew she loved him, but those words sounded like a revelation. He made mental notes in his head. He would tell his parents about the new developments in the morning, and then ask his Personal Assistant  to make a quick and exotic plan for a luxurious honeymoon. He reached out for his phone on the side, but felt an empty table. He must be on the dresser, he thought as he stood up. 

His phone lay there, on the dressing table, he checked the time, eleven p.m,quite late , he turned on the lights, his eyes lazily scanned the room , he saw a photo album on the console at the other end of the room and headed towards it, his heart filled with nostalgia. As he opened the folder, a lone photo fell from it, his hairy masculine hand reached for the photo. He turned it over as he adjusted his glasses, he came face to face  with her enchanting face, the very beautiful and breathtaking  Tatiana.
