EMERSYN

11 . Husband and Wife (Rewritten)

" Often, it's not about becoming a new person, but becoming the person you were meant to be, and already are, but don't know how to be. "

" Damien's POV "

"I well go freshen up while you finish off your pacifier," l said moving towards the washroom.

When I came out of the bathroom Emery was sprawled up on the bed, playing with the rose petals.

"Perhaps you should go freshen up and change," I said drawing her attention. She sat up with a lurch and nodded somewhat embarrassed. It took all of me to not chuckle.

I decided to clear off the bed and get rid of the petals while she was inside the bathroom.

Now, the thing was that we would have to share this room and probably the bed too as there were only recliners present in the room, no couch or anything. I had no idea, how I was going to tell this Emery.

After a few minutes, Emery was out, "Where is my room?" just the question I did not know how to answer.

"Umm... It's a single bedroom suite," I said rubbing the back of my neck. "But there aren't even two beds or a couch around," she let out in a somewhat whining tone.

"It's okay, I will sleep on the floor," I said, grabbing the bedspread from the wardrobe. I kept turning and tossing but to no avail. I so wanted to have a good talk with my mother. It seemed that I would have to sail through the tranquil night by staring at the ceiling.

"Damien," Emery whispered.

"Yes? Do you want something?" I asked and sat straight up. She was lying on her left side with her hands, tucked under her face. She was the very definition of angelic beauty.

"The bed is big enough, we both can take sides," she suggested. She kept staring at me with those beautiful hazel eyes of hers.

"I am fine, little one. Go to sleep," I said giving her a small smile. She shook her head.

"Please, I insist. Besides, we both are adults. Let's act like one," she said. Though she turned 18 two weeks ago, she was far more mature than I had been at her age.

"Okay,"

She settled on the left side of the bed while I took the right side.

"Can we go sightseeing in the morning?" She asked after a while.

"Sure in fact Steven has already made the arrangements," I said.

"May I ask you a question?" I heard her again ask.

"Yes you may, little one,"

"Do you have a girlfriend?" she asked.

I was taken aback by her question for a while but then quickly masked it.

"Why would I have a girlfriend when I have a wife, specifically a very cute little wife."

"So do you really consider me as your wife," she said turning on her side so that she was now facing me.

"What makes you think otherwise, little one," I said.

"Well... I don't know maybe because everything happened all of a sudden, maybe because you did not want to say 'No' to your family and upset them," she spoke.

I shook my head and turned on my side so that I was facing her too.

"I do...I do take you as my wife with my everything ... from the moment I signed the contract, from the moment I slid the engagement ring on your finger, from the moment I saw you looking breathtakingly beautiful in that wedding dress walking down the aisle, from the moment I said 'I do', from the moment I sealed our matrimony," I answered expressively, looking straight into her eyes.

She kept staring at me, her eyes holding unreadable emotions. I desperately wanted to know what was going on in that pretty mind of hers.

We stayed like this for a while until I asked "Do you take me as your husband little one?" I asked expectantly.

"I do... I really do from the bottom of my heart, I have always believed in God, I couldn't lie in front of him, though everything happened all of a sudden but, I have made peace with it, and moreover, this new chapter of my life has brought me nothing but one more family, who adores me as much as my own family does," she said giving me a soft innocent smile which I gladly reciprocated not innocent though, there wasn't really any innocence left in me.

Her words really warmed my heart. I just couldn't mask my smile anymore, she surely was breaking the walls around my heart.

I swear if someone just listened to her words, they would no way in hell believe that she was barely an adult.

I was one damn lucky man to have Emesyn James in my life, not to mention as my wife. I had a very sensible wife.

"Emery, I want to apologize for my behavior earlier. I did not like the way that steward was eyeing you. It just got me," I said reaching out for her hand.

"It's okay but I hope you can be a little polite with your employees," she said, smiling. I nodded

I slowly moved towards her, she kept looking at me with calculating eyes, promptly I kissed her forehead and then her cheek. This must have caught her off guard because her eyes went wide. And slowly a war-stopping smile appeared on her face.

"Good night, Sweetheart," I said and switched off the night light. Soon I could feel sleep consuming me.
