CHAPTER SIX
Against the Odds
Due to time zone difference, they arrived to Paris a few hours past midnight, June 28 already. It took them almost fourteen hours aboard his private jet to reach Paris.
Liv didn't want them to check in any hotel because she had an apartment anyway. From the airport, aboard a limousine Xander hired, they went directly to her apartment.
They already had their meals at the jet and so they didn't feel hungry at all when they reached her posh fully-furnished apartment.
She was so amazed when they entered it.
He asked her, "Do you like it?"
She hugged and kissed him, "I don't like it. I love it, Xander! But this is too big and expensive"
He said, "This will be our love nest for seven months, babe. Well, there will be times when my family will visit that's why we need more rooms."
"Yeah, but it didn't have to be this nice. I'm sure this apartment is so expensive."
He said, "You have to accept the fact that you're married to me, babe. I just won't let you live in an ordinary apartment. Besides, the security is superb here so i got nothing to worry once I'm back in FIlipinas."
She said, "I just don't like you spending so much on me coz it's not practical. Kaylyn had insisted on shopping an entire new wardrobe for my stay here of course with your money. I will just be at the school most of the time."
He smiled and said, "Well, Kaylyn likes dressing you up like a doll. She just wants you to look your best. Well, I really don't mind what you wear for as long as you're comfortable with it. But knowing my sister, she would always want my wife to look fabulous even in casual clothing. Did I already tell you that she suggested me to go out and parade a beautiful woman when the scandal with Judith came out? She is always concern about my image."
She responded, "Well, she has a point. But why didn't you follow her suggestion?"
He held her chin up with his right hand, "I don't like showing off, Mrs. Olivia Blanco. I always keep my affairs private although, you'll be an exemption. If I will just have my way, I will let the world know that you're mine." He kissed her lips passionately. "Let's take a warm bath so we can rest already."
From the living room to the bedroom, he carried her in bridal style with their lips still kissing. He put her down the floor, "I'll ready our tub. You can unpack some of our clothes."
He went to the bathroom while she unpacked their suitcase. She was arranging some of their clothes at the closet when he returned.
He hugged her from behind, pushed her away from her nape to her shoulder then kissed her nape.
She shivered from his kiss. She turned around and faced him. She put her arms around his neck and kissed his lips. She confided to him, "I'm nervous."
He smiled, "I'll be very gentle with you, Liv. There's nothing to be nervous about."
She expressed her apprehension, "What if I cannot satisfy you in bed?"
He smiled again and said, "Communication is the key, my darling wife. You just need to tell me if you like what I am doing or not."
She responded, "Yeah but I don't know how to respond to it, Xander. I have not been with any man but you."
He told her, "Just follow your instinct. Don't be shy and just let go." He started unbuttoning her white classic shirt.
