Chapter 4

Chapter 4

I woke up late as I always do but I noticed that Luke isn’t laying by my side. It made me nervous for some reason that made me get up from bed without anything on except his white polo that was laying on the floor.

I hurriedly got down from the stairs but when I arrived downstairs and saw Luke’s topless back, I stopped and flashed a smile. He looks so hot, and did I mention that he’s cooking breakfast? Well, he is and he looks so hot while doing so.

“Hey, you, I didn't notice you were there.” Luke said when he faces me, he looks at me from head to toe and I notice that he gulps and wet his lips while I approach him.

“You’re up early.” I said but he didn’t reply and still looked at me. “Why? Is there something in my face?” My heart started racing the more he looked at me, did he notice the difference between me and Pearl?

“I just can’t believe that you’re my wife.” He said and cupped my face and kissed me deeply.

“What was that all about?” I chuckle as he lets go after the kiss and still looks at me with admiration in his eyes. “You’re making me feel awkward.” I said and diverted my attention to what he was cooking.

He followed me and stood behind my back as I took a look at what he was cooking.

It made me a little nervous because I don’t really know how to cook but Pearl knows how to bake, and everyone knows that, I sure hope he won’t ask me to do such a thing because I don’t know what I would do if he does.

He was already done, and I just helped him get our table ready and while we ate I couldn't help but notice that not a single person was there except for us but Luke said he asked them to go later when we left.

“Oh, right. Where are we going again?”

“Did you forget already? We’re going to Hawaii for our honeymoon. You requested it as you always say that you love the beach.”

“Right. I forgot that we’re going right away, we were so busy yesterday that it escaped my mind.

I nervously walk back and forth as I check the luggage earlier that Pearl prepared.

Would they believe that I’m Pearl? Well, we look alike but still this doesn’t feel good but I’m already here together with Luke who’s smiling at me while we get our bags checked. But all the tension and nervousness I’m feeling fade away as Luke holds my hands as we enter successfully.

“You don’t look thrilled.” Luke said when we entered the car that he rented.

“I am, it just feels weird that I’m traveling with you… without my parents.” I hope he won’t notice the mistake that I made. Pearl and Luke already travel overseas a long time ago of course without me but their parents are always there.

“There’s always a first time for everything. He holds my lap while his other hand is on the steering wheel. I can’t help but bite my lips and hold his hand tightly… I want to enjoy this moment without thinking of anyone else but us. I will deal with the problems later.

I’m not really the type of person that plans everything even after looking at the beauty of the resort we are staying at, so when we arrive at our room, we just fall asleep next to each other. I’m the type of person that just goes with the flow and sees what will happen next but today and as of this moment I kind of want to be that kind of person because we just wasted our day in the bed—not technically day as we’ve arrived late in the afternoon. I just woke up and Luke is still asleep and I’m hungry.

The next few days have been so fun that I can’t believe it’s real. Luke and I are so happy and in love it almost feels like a dream. “You can’t do that to me and leave me hanging, Pearl.” I just kissed him on the lips while we’re enjoying our time in the water and swam away from him after I did that and now he’s whining.

“What? I didn’t do anything wrong.” I said while running towards the sun lounger. He ran towards me and hugged me from the back that made me laugh.

“You can’t do that again, Pearl or you will drive me crazy.” He started raining kisses to my neck and shoulders.

I laugh and hug him tight but when my eyes widen I see a familiar face heading towards the bathroom. “Wait, I need to pee.” I chuckle for him not to notice that something is making me nervous.

She looks unbothered and happy wearing her two-piece while holding hands with a man that I don’t recognize. It’s like she already plan this to happen… and I can’t believe she’s with a man. I didn’t know that Pearl is seeing someone else besides Pearl. How did she even got here? Wait… did she use my identity?

I want to ask a lot of questions to her, I don’t know what her plans are and how long are we going to do this because sooner or later… they will found out and I don’t want that to happen in a bad way that might cause Luke to hate us… to hate me.

“I want to come.” He said and still kissed me, but I gently pushed him while laughing.

“I will be back in a second you won’t even notice I was gone.”

He pouted and nodded before letting me go, I immediately ran towards the bathroom and when I was about to enter my eyes widened so did hers.

It’s like it’s just the two of us, shock at what’s happening right now. I didn't really get to see her when she left so it made me wonder what does she look like that made Luke think Pearl was sad during the wedding and I kind of hated myself for not going… Would things be different if I were there? I don’t really know anymore… and what I hate the most is that I’m enjoying my time with Luke and I don’t want to lose that.

“Ana!” She seem flustered when she saw me but why? She already know that her honeymoon with her husband is here.

“Pearl.” Is all I can say while my brows crease when I look at the man she’s standing beside with.
