After Carmen left his office, Liam stared at his phone for a long time. Then he grabbed it from the desk and made a call.
Dax was in the middle of reviewing a document when he noticed his phone buzzing. He then hesitated for a second before picking up the phone and answering the call.
“Hey,” Liam said.
“What's up?” Dax asked while stressing over the reason his friend called.
Liam paused for a moment as he anxiously tapped his desk
“I will be going on a honeymoon trip with Carmen a day or two from now,” Liam stated.
“Okay. And...” Dax awkwardly replied.
Liam didn't know what to say next. He knew that he was being a bit childish. But the fact that Dax didn't answer his question had him feeling a bit tense.
“Well, I just wanted you to know so that we can focus on the important tasks before I leave because I don't know how long we are going t
Carmen opened her eyes to the sound of her alarm clock, then she shut her eyelid for a second to avoid the sunlight beaming through her window.After slowly reopening her eyes, her sight rested on the male watch, laying on the bed stand.“We slept together.” Carmen happily mumbled.At that moment her phone rang. So she reached for it, then the smile on her lips slowly faded when she saw “mom” blinking on her screen.Carmen reluctantly swiped the answer icon. Then she rested the phone against her ear.“What is it?” Carmen asked while striving her best not to end the call that instant.“I raised you to know better than to answer me in such a manner.” Mrs. Smith's angry voice flowed out of the phone speaker.“Good morning, mother.”“Much better.”Out of frustration, Carmen rolled her eyes and softly sighed. She was using all her might
Carmen gazed at her husband's concerned expression, then she turned her face the other way.“No, there's nothing wrong.” Carmen mumbled.She then hurried to her suitcase, opened it, and grabbed the first clothes her hand touched before running into the bathroom.“What do you expect from her? You have been body-shaming her, and now, you just expect her to feel comfortable to naked herself in front of you?” Liam mumbled as he stared at the shut bathroom door.After Carmen had got done with her shower, she stepped out of the tub and got a hold of a towel, then dry her wet skin.Liam had just finished unpacking both of them suitcases when he heard Carmen shouted, “no.”Liam then walked over to the bathroom and gently knocked on the wooden frame, then waited for a response.“Are you okay in there?” Liam asked after Carmen did not answer.He then waited f
Carmen woke up the next morning with her upper body laying on Liam's chest while he hugged her tightly.She could see that he was still sleeping, so she remained stiff while staring at his face.“He’s extremely handsome from this angle,” Carmen whispered.At that moment, Liam's eyelids slowly lifted, and she was staring directly into his grey eyes.“I am sorry that I woke you.” Carmen pitifully mumbled.“You didn't. I woke up about an hour ago, but I didn't want to wake you up.” Liam replied.The thought of her husband lying awake in one position for an hour simply because he didn't want to wake her made Carmen speechless.“Breakfast?” Liam asked.Carmen slightly shooked her head to clear her thoughts. Then she smiled at her husband.“Sure,” Carmen mumbled.A minute passed, and Liam kept staring at her, but Carmen d
The next day, at one o’clock on the dot, Carmen and Liam were on the road, heading back home.None of them spoke as they kept their eyes off each other. However, that didn't stop either of them from thinking about one another.Although nothing sexual happened between them when they got back to the hotel that night, Carmen couldn't stop blushing when she thought about how smooth Liam's lip felt. Just thinking about it, had her smiling like a fool unknown to herself.‘What is she so happy about?’ Liam mumbled when he eyed Carmen.The way her eyes sparkled when the sunlight beaming against them and how her creamy lips curve into a perfect smile, had Liam obsessed with staring at her.“Cute.” He mumbled with his sight completely on her.“Honk!”“Look where you are driving!” Another driver screamed before driving past Liam's car.Carmen gazed
Carmen remained calm as she doubtfully gazed at Liam. She had no response to such a request, so she waited for him to act on his word.“I am going to take your silence as a yes,” Liam mumbled.
Liam woke out the next morning, and yet his eyes were still shut. He then reached his hand to touch the other side of the bed, then his eyelids immediately lifted when he did not feel Carmen.“Where is she?” Li
Carmen finally dragged herself out of bed and reluctantly walked into the bathroom. She didn't even stop in front of the mirror to check her morning look. Instead, she got undressed and got into the shower.She then leaned her head against the glass, enabling the flo
Dax stood still as he stared at the wooden door surface. He didn't know how long he had been standing at Carmen’s hotel room door, but every time he thought about leaving, his legs wouldn't permit him to do so.
