CHAPTER 48

I TOOK A HOT SHOWER AND IT WAS MORE THAN RELAXING. Considering the cold weather here, I would most certainly wish I'd spend the entire day bathing.

I wore my cotton sweatpants and a pair of socks I packed earlier. I didn't take a lot of winter cloths because I certainly didn't know it would be winter amidst summer in some places.

I wrapped a towel around my hair and walked about in the room. The walls were beige and had at least a picture of the valley on them. The sheets were made of the finest silk and they got my appraisal for that. They got just the candy I wanted.

A Zinus Classic Upholstered sofa next to a glass coffee table lay on the far end leaving a huge space in the centre. Dark matte wood flooring highlighted the lighter toned furniture along with a pair of floor to ceiling curtains. Very large mirror and open glass door to balcony openned the hotel room.

"Ain't that a beautiful site to see..." The voice of Adam echoed behind me and I span around to check him out. He was also in his tracks with a pair of socks. I ran over to jump on him and he was able to catch me and give me a twirl.

I laughed and smiled as the experience brought me back to when we danced the tango.

My laughter echoed the entire room throughout the whole experience. I felt like I was on a rocket which had been set off for a marathon around the planet earth. I felt dizzy and tapped out the next five minutes or so.

Like a rushing wind, he dropped me on the bed with a thud and I sank in almost touching the ground and bounced back up.

Such a great experience made me miss a trampoline. I got up to stand on the bed only to get in the way of a flying pillow.

"Oh no...you don't wanna go down that road with me..." I snuggled and dusted some cotton stuffings off of my face.

I quickly fetched a pillow and slammed his face with it.

He lost his balance and jumped off the bed but I gave him no room for rest.

I attacked him even more making sure I had to win this around.

I hit him again and again; over and over again without stopping until my pillow had completely shrunk leaving behind only the case.

Seeing that I was out numbered and overpowered, I ran back to the bed to fetch another pillow but a thwart of pillow stuffing hit my back with some getting into my top.

I fell on the bed and rolled on my back covering my face with the my hands as Adam sank me in a pool of white cotton.

I felt like a princess in a candy kingdom whose prince was the one guarding over her like his life's duty.

He fell to my side and we laughed in the same lines.

This guy definitely got me.

After relaxing for a moment, I got up and decided to pray a prank on him. He was lying on the bed eyes closed and definitely resting as well.

I crawled down and gathered the stuffings sticking them together to create a huge cotton ball.

I called it but unfortunately, he sneaked up from behind and surprised me by tickling my sides. He was gently poking or wiggling your fingers under my arms and around her tummy until we both fell seated on the bed.

I couldn't help but laugh, attempting to escape from his fingers. However, the restraints prevented me from moving farther than a couple of millimeters. This man smiled as he dug his fingers into my sides, causing me to laugh as hard as she could.

The entire valley must've learnt of my presence by now.

"Adam stop!" I roughly took his hands off of him and successfully ran away. I held onto the bed and coughed while taking in deep breaths.

"No...no.no.no..." I stopped him with my finger after I saw him come my way. I jumped on the bed and he followed after me.

I pushed my hair back and took deep breaths thinking of a plan.

To my surprise, he grabbed hold of my hand and propelled me beneath him on the cosy reclining soft sleeping pad.

He looked at my face and slid the strands of hair off, uncovering my beauty to him. His smile told me what his soul was yearning for and I wasted no minute do it for him as the rules were the same.

Take it and return it: the kiss of love.

******

Later that afternoon, we watched all of the old times romantic comedies that Adam brought in his MacBook. I had a few series too which we watched til late in the night all the way until my battery was down flat.

"Day we'll spent..." he yawned and stretched out his hands.

"You could say that again. It's actually night .." I drummed his tummy and smiled.

"RROOOAARRR!!!" He imitated a lion and clawed his fingers at me. I did the same and pushed him onto the bed.

He held me against his chest preventing my sharp coffin shaped nails from actually tearing his face apart.

I loved that I could be silly around him and he wouldn't judge me otherwise. He was the only person that saw me outside the charade I put up in front of the entire world and loved me anyway.

"Happy anniversary my love...." I whispered and we stopped the silliness. He looked at me and ran his finger on my edges, running the course of my hairline to my chin.

"Happy anniversary to you too my dear. Fifteen and counting....." he grinned and my heart flattered.

He was really going to marry me for sure.

I was going to ask him about it but after he said 'and counting' I decided against it. He was the man not me and there was no need for me to take matters into my own hands. I knew there was a queen in every woman. Her wisdom, her strength, her resilience, her compassion – everything that she is can work wonders. And right now, my wisdom said to wait for my king.

"Am sorry am always busy and I feel.like I don't take us seriously but you should know I do and I love you and I care about you and I don't ever want to spend my life without you and I will ---"

Just like that, I went quiet. He just knew how to silence me.
