Chapter 117
They are so adorable!” Keane comments staring at the sleeping face of Kate and Nate.
“What really happened?” Smiles asked, she’s been thinking about the last scene that happened between him and Lisa.
Keane raises a brow questioningly at her, demanding more elaboration.
Smiles closed the door behind, “The day of our wedding, what happened?” She faces him, hoping to get him to say something.
Keane breathed out, and in a swift movement he carried her up heading to their room.” You need rest, I will help wash you off” he said, and kissed her forehead.
He doesn’t want to talk about it ’cause he knows the mastermind behind their unsuccessful wedding and he doesn’t want to tell her knowing how badly she will react.
Like his favorite poem he knows every word and its meanings, and so is Smiles to him. He knows she thinks with her heart not with her head, and when she is hurt, she jumps to conclusions without a second thought.
Smiles stare at the face of the one person she loves the most, without measure. She knows he’s trying to avoid the topic but that’s only a push for her to persist knowing he has something to say.
“Don’t avoid my questions, hubby…” Smiles said, reminding him she needed an answer.
Keane enters their room and places her on the bed, as compared to the last time she saw his room it was completely different.
It was decorated with her favorite color, blue with light shining everywhere. The darkness was no longer a thing to remember.
Slowly, Keane starts taking off her dress. She let him take off her trench coat but when he reached for her crop top, she held his hands stopping him.
“So eager to clean me?” Smiles asked, brow raised.
“With pleasure,” Keane responded with a smile.
“Give me an answer, only then you will be allowed to clean me up, as many times as you want” She licks her lips ever so slowly, and winks at him.
Of course, Keane was expecting this but no matter how much he pictured things out, there is always a way she gets to send him to the edge and beyond with the simplest things.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Fine!” He sits by her side.
“The night before our wedding, I received a call from Lisa saying you wish you see me one last time before we get married. It was weird, I know you and Lisa ain’t that close but when she mentioned you sneaking out of home, I didn’t think twice” he paused, eyes on Smiles.
Smiles on the other hand silently listen to him talk, while trying to understand everything. “What happened after that?” She asked, curious to know more.
“It was all a plan, not Lisa’s but someone. Still haven’t been able to know who did it but I’m on it” Keane lies, there is no way he will tell Smiles her mom is responsible for everything. Even behind the Warren’s downfall.
“We were both threatening to play along, I won’t give in. But when they mentioned you, putting your life at stake, I couldn’t help but abide. I didn’t know what they wanted and who they were after. Lisa on the other hand just found out about her pregnancy and was happy, ready to tell Derrick. She wanted to give him the good news on the following day, on our wedding day knowing it would be bigger and the best news for everyone, especially Derrick, but she was forced to put it on me.” Keane explains, pulling Smiles into his embrace.
She was crying with no sound, she felt pity for Lisa knowing how hurt it must have been for her.
” I’m sorry, for being a jerk and an unreasonable wife, I’m sorry! ” Smiles cries, hugging him.
” It’s not your fault, I never blamed you and I will never. ” Keane comforts her, she is his wife and his love. There is no way he will ever see fault in her.
” Have you… have you gotten any clue about the person behind it? Why did he/she do such a thing?” Smiles asked in between her sobbing.
“Not yet but I promise to get whosoever is responsible,” Keane assured, caressing her hair.
Her sobs slowly died down, and Keane wiped away her tears. “Even when you cry, you still look as beautiful as ever” he kissed her swollen eyes.
Smiles couldn’t help but giggle, “Stop messing around!” She pushed him away.
“What! No way… I can’t possibly be joking,” He raises her head to meet his gaze, ” I’m being truthful and honest, you are so beautiful even when you cry”
Smiles didn’t want to believe he was being cheesy and playful but the honesty in his eyes left her speechless.” How am I so blessed to have such a loving and caring man as a husband? His words, his caresses, the way he looks at me, his kiss… I always melt to nothingness whenever he’s around, ahh! I’m going crazy insane, but I like it” she said in her mind, eyes on the god-like beauty before her. Face crimson red.
” Time for queen treatment,” Keane said and picked her up, walking into the bath.
He gently undresses her, taking away everything that’s stopping him from seeing her nudity.
When he was done, he placed her on the toilet pot and turned the tap open as the warm water fell into the bathtub.
He made sure the water was cool enough before putting her in. Smiles couldn’t stop herself from blushing, not like he’s never bathed her before but it’s the first time he’s doing it in a bathtub.
Keane was super gentle, his touches were like feathers enough to leave her begging for more.
He rubs on her legs, playing tag with her long straight slender toes.
When he was done with her body, he moved up to her hair, made her lean behind as he applied shampoo, and started watching off the foams, his fingers running through her scalp.
Smiles closes her eyes, feeling the sweet sensation of her lifetime. “It will be better if he gets to bathe me forever,” she thought, smiling.
He carries her out, makes sure to patch her dry, and places her on the bed while he applies nice olive oil lotion on her smooth silky body before getting her dressed in a spaghetti strap see-through nightwear.
He tugged her under the sheet and rushed into the bath. After some time, he came out all clean and fresh and got himself dressed in his gray sweatpants and a cream-white t-shirt.
” Daddy’s back” He jokes, climbing on the bed.
Smiles snug herself close to him, burying herself in his arms.” I feel like a queen, ” she confessed.
“That’s because you are a queen” Keane explains,
Smiles and shakes her head in denial.”I mean real queen” she explains.
He pulled her head up, Smiles didn’t resist, and their gaze met. “You are my queen, that’s all that matters. I pledge my loyalty and live love only to you, to put you first, no one new and to love you all through my existence in this life be it now or the next” he said.
Smiles blushed so hard that her cheeks could be seen all red, more than tomato. “Remember, you’ve got a second me… don’t say what you won’t be able to keep” She jokes reminding him of Kate.
“It doesn’t matter, I’ll love you but the same… no, yours is way more” he kissed on her forehead. ” As for Nate, we’ve got a lot to settle. But we’ll love ourselves as the men in the house, you ladies are our priority and responsibilities”
“I love you so much, hubby,” Smiles confesses, crossing her legs over him.
” I love you too” Keane pulls her in, caressing her back.
” Can we just stay like this for the night, hugging and enjoying each other? ” Smiles proposed, resting her head on his chest.
It was the same idea Keane had, and he had no objective to it “Anything for you” he murmured but Smiles was able to get him.
The night was young but the couples were willing to hug each other for a lifetime. With so much love in the air, both were drawn to their land of fantasy, only this time, it was real and not only a dream.
