Alan was pacing around his office for over 30 minutes, he spoke to Ashley this morning and she was on her way out with the girls. He was really adamant about knowing where they went but she couldn't disclose because she didn't know where they were going.Picking up his car keys, he headed out of his office.Raising his head and looking towards the door direction because someone came in “Okay what's with the look on your face? Sean asked Alan who walked into his office looking perplexed.“Where did Shelly tell you she was going to today?” Alan asked, settling on the couch across from Sean's office.“I don't know, she said she would be out with the girls” Sean answered shrugging nonchalantly.“How can you not know where she went to, she is your woman,” Alan asked, staring hard at him.“Chill bro, what is all this about?” Sean asked, joining him on the couch.“Ashley said they were taking her somewhere, and I need to know where my wife is,” Alan said, rubbing his forehead in frustration.

The early morning sun shone brightly into Ashley's room as she placed her hands on her face trying to block the rays from the sun, the birds chirping harmoniously. It was finally her wedding day.“Come on Ashley, you need to get dressed,” Her mom said, tapping her lightly.“5 minutes Mom,” Ashley said in a groggy tone, she was awake the whole night and just managed to get a wink of sleep in the early hours of the morning.Ashley finally got herself out of bed and headed downstairs to meet her mom.“Ashley, your makeup artist is here, show her to your room so she can help you get dressed,” Her mom said hurriedly.“Hi, this way” Ashley greeted the makeup artist gesturing her in the direction of her room.“Get ready quickly Andrea and Shelly are already on their way here” Her mom yelled from the kitchen."You can make yourself comfortable and set your things, I will go and freshen up so we can get started” Ashley said to the Makeup artist who nodded her head at her.Ashley wasn't feeling

“You both just had your wedding so why can't you go?” His mom asked with a frown on her face while everyone stared at him with an expectant look.“We just can't go, we have been married for a while now and I have a lot of work to do here” Alan affirmed strongly trying to give no room for debate.“Alan can we go, please I have always wanted to go there” Ashley pleaded hoping that he would change his mind.“Yes Alan, you both should go. Postponing your work for a week won't ruin anything” Sean said in addition while Drea and Shelly kept mute because they felt they had no say in the matter.“Son, It's no harm going. Just go and have fun for a while” Ashley's mom pleaded.“Alan” “I said no, we can't go don't you get it?” Alan half yelled interrupting Ashley.“I believe we have overstayed our welcome, we need to go. I have a lot of things to attend to” He said, standing up and dragging Ashley along with him.“Am sorry you had to see that, he is probably stressed” His mom pleaded to Ashley'

“Jokes aside, we can go?” Ashley asked, her eyes glowing in anticipation.“The flight ticket is in your hands,” Alan replied, smiling.Hugging him “Thank you, thank you so much,” Ashley said in excitement.“You are welcome” Alan smiled lightly returning the hug.After they had dinner, they went to their separate rooms.“Guess what?” Ashley yelled on her FaceTime with Shelly and Drea.Rubbing her sleepy eyes “Girl it better be serious, I was busy enjoying my sleep” Drea yawned.Rolling her eyes “I am going for my honeymoon, I am going to Hawaii guys” Ashley squealed, she couldn't contain her excitement.“What? Girl, how did it happen?” Andrea asked the sleep, leaving her eyes.“I don't know, he just came home today with the flight ticket, I am leaving in two days,” Ashley said dreamily.“I am so happy for you, go girl,” Shelly said excitedly.“Thank you,” Ashley said smiling.Humming and dancing lightly Ashley walked down the stairs.“You look bubbly and excited today, what's going on?

“So you are leaving us tomorrow” Shelly faked an annoyance while sipping her orange juice.“I am going to miss you” Andrea groaned and whined like a baby.“Honestly I am going to miss you both and I hope this honeymoon works out well for me,” Ashley said smiling sadly.“Girl, be positive, I am sure it will work out” Shelly advises her, squeezing her hand softly.“I know right, group hug” Ashley smiled engulfing both of them in a hug.After having a session with the girls, she went to see her mom before heading home.“You are back,” Alan said, he sat on the sofa in the living room “Yes, were you waiting for me?” Ashley asked, slumping beside him.“No, I just happen to be here,” Alan said, looking away from her.Chuckling “If I didn't know you, I would have believed you. Don't lie I know you were waiting for me” She teased him.“How did your outing with Sean go?” Ashley probed.“Fair enough” Alan mumbled.“Mmm okay, have you had dinner?” She asked him and proceeded to get up from the s
