Lovers spat

We don't say anything to each other on the car ride to the jet.

I try to refrain from looking at him.

I cant get our conversation out of my head and it's driving me insane.

We get onto the jet in complete silence and I sit as far away from him as possible.

But I do make sure to get a window seat.

"Get comfy it's a 10 hour flight" he calls out talking to one of his men.

I roll my eyes and pull out my bag.

Of course I am prepared.

I downloaded 10 movies on my computer for me to choose from.

I start it up and plug in my ear phones.

I decide on tangled for the first one.

Elliot my fav/only bodyguard I know comes over to me.

I pull an ear phone out.

"M- Elle, May I sit?"

"Yes" I nod at him smiling.

He sits down opposite me.

"Do you want to watch tangled with me?"

"No" he says I frown.

He looks around and leans forward.

"Not because I don't want to, I just can't or else your boyfriend will shoot me in the head"

"Husband actually" I say laughing a bit and then leaning back.

At some point I must have fallen asleep because when I open my eyes my laptop is gone the window next to me is shut and Elliot is gone.

I look around a bit disoriented and see Ivan standing 3 feet away from me on his phone.

I lift the window and see its dark out.

"What time is it?"

He looks up from his phone and glances at his watch.

"Almost 1 am, we'll be there in 3 hours"

"Oh..I see" I say yawning.

"You want food?" He asks me signalling at the air hostess.

She practically runs over to him.

"Yes sir?"

"Can we get a menu for food options?" He asks her.

She beams at him nodding, "yes of course"

I roll my eyes sitting up in my seat.

I bet she doesn't realise we're married.

Or maybe she doesn't care, I don't look that threatening in a juicy tracksuit lying down on 3 seats surrounded by blankets.

She comes back and hands him the menu's touching his arm as she does.

Really unprofessional.

He hands the menu to me and I look over it, nothing amazing.

Considering we're on a private jet.

I expected pancakes at least.

"I'll have a coffee with extra milk and sugar and um a fruit bowl please" I say to her.

She turns around to look at me and slowly pulls out a tablet to take my order.

"Anything else miss?" She asks dryly.

Where's the preppy attitude for me.

"No thanks and it's Mrs" I reply.

Ha. Ha.

I watch as her eyes look down to the beautiful fat diamond on my ring finger.

I watch as she swirls around to Ivan causing me to frown.

He's got a gold band on his ring finger.

I didn't even know he wears our wedding ring.

"Yes?" He asks her after she's been staring at him for 10 whole seconds saying nothing.

"Вы женаты? К девушке вон там. Ты обещал мне, что никогда не выйдешь замуж за Ивана, это была наша сделка! Это было; если мы не можем быть вместе, ты не будешь ни с кем другим" she says aggressively.

(Are you married? To the girl over there. You promised me that you would never marry Ivan, it was our deal! That was; if we can't be together, you won't be with anyone else.)

Oh my jeez.

Another Russian.

Of course she speaks Russian as well.

I sigh and look out the window.

Maybe I should just start talking to myself in Spanish so I don't feel so..un seasoned.

"да, хорошо, когда я дал это обещание, я имел это в виду в то время. Я не собирался жениться, это был в основном деловой ход Адели"

(Yes, okay, well when I made this promise, I meant it at the time. I wasn't going to get married, it was mostly a business move.)

Ivan sounds un bothered compared to her and I'm glad for it.

She whips around at me and I smile.

She walks back into the cabin, hopefully to get my food but she might have poisoned it so maybe I shouldn't.

"Family drama?" I tease.

He's staring at the wall behind me.

"She's one of my ex's ish"

"Ish?"

"Well we slept together, and then I took her on a date. And then told her we couldn't be together and all that romance"

"Wow you really are an asshole" I say looking back out my window.

"Glad you finally realised" he mutters.

I sigh and wait for my food to arrive. I eat it quickly and then finish my movie and then chose to watch mean girls.

I have taste I know.

We get off after about 2 hours so Ivan is a little liar.

It's absolutely freezing when we step off the plane, so much so I almost fall over.

Instead I back up into Ivan, who is wearing a coat.

"You cold?" He asks bored.

I nod my teeth chattering.

I mean what are we in a freaking snow storm?

It's July. What on earth is this?

"Here" he says drying taking off his jacket.

I take it quickly.

It's about 3 times to big for me but I am NOT complaining.

I throw myself into the car and huddle into the jacket while we drive to wherever we're going.

We finally arrive and I roll my eyes.

It kinda looks like a prison.

But in a nice way.

"Why do you specifically own black houses?" I ask him.

"Black is my favourite colour"

"Well purple is mine and I live with you now"

"You want me to buy you a purple house?"

"No I can buy myself a purple house" I reply dryly.

He smiles looking at me.

"I know you can baby"

I nod.

"But you can get me a purple car" I reply.

He starts laughing. Really laughing.

And I'm taken aback by how beautiful his laugh is.

His whole face lights up and he's glowing.

Something strange shifts in the air.

I find I can't breathe.

"You should laugh more" I say to him.

"Oh?" He says.

"Yeah it's your best look"

"And what's my worst look?"

I think for a moment.

"Whenever you point a weapon at me" I suggest.

Far too frequently for my liking.

"I thought you said you were into that?"

"Yes but when it's you I genuinely have no idea if your going to kill me or not" I say coldly.

He rolls his eyes looking out at the garden.

"Then don't piss me off"

"Don't do things to piss me off then I won't want too"

He narrows his eyes at me.

Wet stand in front of his house for a minute both glaring at each other.

"Sometimes I wonder if I made the right choice" he whispers taking a step towards me.

"You didn't choose me" I say bitterly.

"I could have left your family to pay the money, I could have not offered to pay the price in exchange for you"

"Wait" I say taking a step back.

"You- you asked for my hand my father didn't offer it to you?" I ask shocked.

"Of course. You think your father just offered you up? No. I asked for you"

"Why? You didn't even know me"

"I did know you. I remembered you."

"From where we don't know each-other!" I exclaim.

Im so confused.

But I know we've never met before...have we?

"We do baby, I'd never forget you"

Im silent.

"Come on get inside it's freezing" he says opening the door.

I walk inside and look around.

This place is smaller.

2 floors.

Not to sound snobby.

Ivan silently takes me to my room.

It's plain but it will do.

"We didn't have time to decorate, next time we're here it'll be suited to you better"

"Okay" I reply.

He closes the door and I remove all my clothes.

I'm too tired to think or unpack.

I crawl into my bed naked and pass out the minute my head hits the pillow.
