Their Runaway bride

Chapter 4

As we walked into the room, I was in so much awe.
Ok, let me go back a little bit back.
So, after the hotel manager has welcomed us as well as the other staff members that were around, we were directed to our room which is called 'the pent house'. I've never heard of it in my town but apparently, it is the most important room in the hotel.
As we were heading for the elevator that will lead us there, Svaboda swept me off my feet again and carried me up.
Even when we were in the elevator, he still didn't put me down.
I was feeling kind of shy about this intimacy but then I said to myself that he is my husband and as my husband, he is entitled to more than that.
I thought it was going to be a one room kind of hotel but when he switches on the light, I was awed.
The place is so huge and from the looks of it, it looks like a living room.
There are some huge modern couches and a table at the centre of it all. If you didn't look well, you wouldn't have even seen the table as it was made entirely of transparent glass.
A huge TV, one that I've never seen in my entire life was hung on the wall.
There was a fire pit just beneath it and I remembered being worried that the fire might end up burning the expensive tv. The walls were painted all white, until the interior of the reception.
Far ahead, I could see a huge dining table that could fit half my town and it extends to a corner I couldn't see but I guessed that it might be the kitchen.
There's also a chandelier, which I didn't know the name of at that time but I could remember clearly that it was hanging loosely from the ceiling.
The last thing I saw before he proceeded to the room was the huge transparent window behind the dining table. You could she the whole city just from there.
He switched on the lights to the room as well and the huge king sized bed came to view.
He slowly placed me on the bed.
For a moment, he just stood there, staring at me and I became nervous.
That's when it hit me that we are actually alone and there's no one to stop him from taking what's his.
'Oh my goodness! I don't think I'm ready' I screamed inside my head.
From what I heard from my class mates, it would really hurt, so bad and I was no fan of pain.
I gulped as he moved closer to me.
I closed my eyes shut, waiting for it to unfold. There was no stopping it now, was there?.
But instead of me to feel him touching me, he just placed a pillow behind my head and gets up.
I didn't know that I was holding on my breath until I let out a huge sigh which he laughed at. I guess he must have sensed my fear.
Just the thought of that made me blush and I hid my head in the pillow.
I heard some shuffles and then it was silent.
When I tried to peak, I saw him standing there, with only his trousers on.
His bare six packs chest was exposed to the world.
I quickly hid my face once again.
I heard him chuckle once again.
"I'm going to take a bath, you can go in after" he said and then he was gone.
I sat down when I was sure that he isn't there anymore.
That's when I took my time to admire the room.
The room was so huge. You can put two to three of my house in here and it would perfectly fit.
I looked at the bed once again and saw that it was huge. So huge that ten people could lay in here without being cramped up. There was also a dressing chair in front of the bed.
I shook on the bed and it kept on bouncing, like what do you call those mattresses, yes, a water mattress.
The sheets were also made of the softest cotton and they smells so nice.
Did I mention that there was flowers on the bed?.
They have been used to decorate the room but I didn't have the chance to admire it as I was just put on the bed to ruin it.
I slowly slipped away and dropped down the bed. Surrounding the bed were tiny candles all put in a heart shaped containers.
They have also made sure to align them all to make a huge heart shape around the bed.
It looked so wonderful and scent coming out of the candle was so soothing.
I got up from my admiration and walked over the the huge window, just like the one behind the dining table. I looked over and from there, I could see the whole city.
The whole city has been set alight and it looked like stars beneath us and we are up in the sky.
I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I didn't even noticed when he walked out of the bathroom.
"Enjoying the view, are we?" he asked.
I was a bit taken aback by his sudden question.
I quickly moved away from the window and started scratching the back of my head, as if I was a small child who was caught stealing candy.
He just smiled at me.
"You go freshen up now, it's been really tiring today" he said, melting the ice of the moment.
He has already changed into his pyjamas.
I wonder where he got them though for as far as I'm concerned, he didn't go in with any, I had asked myself.
"Hurry, I have already drawn a hot bath for you, it would get cold soon" he said.
I nodded and quickly rush to the door I saw him walk in the other time.
"Wow!" I exclaimed.
I didn't know that bathrooms are given such importance till today.
The bathroom is so huge that you can live in here with no complaints.
Everything in the bathroom has been decorated in gold.
From the bathtub, to the shower compartment, to the hand wash and even the toilet seat.
And the very peculiar scent of after shave was clouding the fragrance of the bathroom. No doubt he must have shaved.
I was busy admiring the view when I noticed I slightly opened sliding door and I walked to it.
I opened it a little wider and got in.
It was a walk in closet and filled with clothes of all sorts.
From the right, it was filled with men's clothes and accessories and from the left, it was filled with ladies clothes.
I was starting to feel jealous that maybe he might have made girlfriend before and she might have left her clothes here.
But why would she, it's just a hotel, not his house?, I had asked myself.
But then his clothes were there, so it must mean something, I answered myself.
I walked over to the clothes, just to examine his taste in women's clothes.
I picked up the first dress I saw and placed it forward and then I turned to the huge dressing mirror in the middle of the room that is separating the two wardrobes.
To my surprise, the dress seem to fit me perfectly.
"Huh!, Is she of the same size as me?" I asked, confused.
Just then, I saw a note placed on the dressing mirror and I moved forward and picked it out.
'Hope you like your new wardrobe?' it said.
Wait minute, so all these clothes are mine, I turned around to take a good look at then once again.
The clothes have filled everywhere, too to bottom.
They ranges from gowns, to sun dresses, to t- shirts and trousers of all kinds up to clothes accessories. There was an entire wardrobe that had been dedicated for that. I also noticed a part of the wardrobe that contained only night wears.
I walked over to it and started examining the stuffs. Some were too revealing for my liking while some were ok. I decided to pick out the most simplest of them all.
I was already tired of walking in such a pompous gown.
I immediately stripped it down and walked away back to the bathroom.
I would have loved to play dress up all day in here but was feeling as tired as hell and so, I just decided to take a bath.
I would definitely do that tomorrow, I put at the back of my mind.
I walked over to the bathtub and I saw that it's filled with water, not only that, there were rose petals sprinkled all over it.
Just by looking at the water, you could say it's steaming hot.
I quickly stripped down the last of my clothings and dipped into the tub.
I didn't know that my nerves were tied until I was inside that tub and they all began to relax.
It was so relaxing. I didn't know just how long I stayed in there but my relaxation was short-lived when the water began to feel cold.
I grabbed the shampoo not caring where it was for men or women and washed my hair. After I rinsed it, I quickly take a bath.
I got up from the tub and pulled the nearest towel to me and I felt that it was still damp.
Definitely the one he just used. I couldn't help but blush at the thought that I was just using something that he used not long ago. Imagine just how it looked like wrapped around his waist.
I quickly ward off the thoughts before it goes too far.
I was busy looking for a place to drain the water when it just started draining on it's own. Even the petals were drained into a different compartment.
This place sure does have a mind of its own, I thought.
I picked up another towel and then I wrapped it around my head so that it would rid the excess water.
After I had finished all my business, I changed into the night wears that I picked out and then I walked out of the bathroom.
He was busy typing on a laptop while sitting on a giant throw pillow that was made like a make shift couch and which I definitely didn't notice before.
He looked up at me as soon as I walked out and he smiled.
"You're out" he said, more like a comment and adjusted the reading glass he was wearing.
I've never known that reading glasses could make a person look so hot and sexy until him, did I mention that before?.
I nodded at him.
He was not wearing a shirt at that time and that made me feel self conscious.
All thoughts came rushing through my head but I try to brush them off.
"Thanks for the clothes" I managed to utter.
"I'm glad you liked them" he said and smiled again.
A few minutes of silence passed again with me still stuck to the door while he kept on typing his stuffs.
He looked up at me once again.
"You can go to bed, I'll join you later" he said.
Just like a robot who has been activated, I walked over to the bed and sat at the far end.
I slowly pull the blanket and wrap myself inside. But I still couldn't sleep a wink. And how could I?.
A man who was supposedly my husband is a few feets away and he might decide to join me in bed anytime soon and he might even try to get intimate with me since it's our first night all.
Just the thought of sharing a bed with a man is scary enough not to talk, getting close to each other.
I just laid there for what felt like forever till I finally heard him close his laptop.
A few minutes of silence passed by and then I felt the other side of the bed dip.
I grabbed the edge of the blanket very tightly while I kept on praying that he doesn't make any advances at me.
As if he heard my prayers, he just switched off the lights.
"Good night sweet heart" he said and lay on the far end of the bed.
**********
The next morning, I was woken up by the scent of amazing aromas.
I slowly got off the bed and walked out the room to where the scent was coming from and it led me to the kitchen.
To my surprise, I saw Mr Svaboda in the middle of the kitchen, wearing an apron.
He was busy trying to cook something and by the looks of it, he knew what he was doing and he was very good at it as well.
His back was facing me while he was trying to turn something in a frying pan.
I was in the middle of the kitchen, there was a huge island that also holds a breakfast lounge.
The kitchen was mour like u shaped and all the cooking accessories were arranged in an orderly manner.
At the top of the wall were shelves and cabinets that contains all cooking utensils and they took have been shaped to form a U.
I didn't even know that he had turned around as I was busy admiring the kitchen.
"Good morning" he said and moved closer to me.
He gave me a peck on the cheek which made me blush.
"Sorry I had to wake you up, I wanted to make you a breakfast in bed but now you're off the bed" he said and I smiled at his gesture.
"The aroma is too good I couldn't resist" I complemented.
"Aw! Thanks, I've never heard anyone complement me like you did" he said.
"So, you can cook?" I asked.
"Yeah, something I had to pick up after my late wife" he said as he quickly goes back to his frying pan and turned the frying bacon.
I felt sad that he had to go through all this. And his poor son, he must have had a hard time in raising the little boy all alone.
I made a promise to myself at that moment that I would help him the best I can in raising his son.
"How long has it been?" I asked but then I regretted asking.
He was silent for a bit and I felt like hitting my head.
"Seven years, she died while giving birth, such a brave woman" he said, shaking his head.
That means that his son must be seven years or so by now.
"Yeah, I'm sure she was" I said in a sad time.
I could still see the love he had for his wife in his eyes.
He moved in close to me again.
He leaned in so low that I could feel his breath on my face.
"But now I have you, and that's all that I need" he said.
I stared deep into his eyes and I could see the truth in his words. He has really accepted me as his wife.
The gentle touch of his lips on mine jolted me back to life but he was quick to move away once again.
"Now, why don't you go and freshen up while I finish preparing our breakfast" he said, moving back to his chores.
I just nodded and silently walked out, still feeling the moisture of his lips on mine.
Gosh! I could never get used to that tingling feeling.
I quickly took a bath and brushed my teeth.
I changed into a pretty knee length pink floral dress while a tie my hair in a knot. I slipped on a pink sandal and walked out.
Right that time, I felt like a school student once again but this time around, the flashy one.
I walked out to see that he has already arranged the table.
He has made bacon and what was it again, I don't even know the name, so I won't even pretend saying it.
"Come, have a seat" he urged me to sit by pulling the chair out for me.
"Thanks" I thanked him before sitting down.
He served me and then sat besides me.
"Open your mouth" he said and I didn't without questioning.
He picked up the fried bacon and fed me.
I was taken aback by his gesture but the tenderness and sweetness of the meat in my mouth made me forget all that and with no time, I was chewing it up.
He fed me and another bite which I savoured once again.
"So, how is it, hope it's not bad?" he asked.
Bad?
This felt like it has come straight from the heavens.
I just nodded my head at him as I was busy chewing on the sweet meat.
He picked up a cup and poured some juice and fed me as well.
He kept on feeding me till I was sure that I couldn't eat anymore.
I didn't know how to return his favor as it seemed odd at the time for me to offer to feed him.
What would he think of me, I had thought.
Obviously, nothing?. But it still didn't feel right for me.
So, I mustered up all the courage I could get and give him a peck on his cheek and then I rushed back into the room before he could recover from the sudden gesture.
This was the first time I had ever made such advances to a man and it felt so awkward.
Even when he came into the room afterwards, I was quick to hide my face in the sheets. Lucky enough for me, he didn't push it any further and went to the bathroom to take a bath in sure.
When he walked out, he was dressed in his usual clothing.
He looked so handsome at that moment, he always does.
"Let's get going then" he had said.
"Where to?" I asked in confusion.
I thought we were here for our honeymoon, so where could we be going again?.
"I told you our flight will be today, or have you forgotten already?" he asked.
That was when I remembered that he had told me we'll be flying off to our destination today.
But I was already starting to like this place.
I dropped off the bed and followed him.
With nothing in our hands, we walked out of the penthouse and headed down.
As we reached the bottom floor once again, there was a group of people, more than the ones we met when we came in the other night and all were dressed in the hotel's unique uniforms.
"Good morning sir, ma'am" the manager greeted.
We also greeted him back.
All this while, I was latched to his arms like a leech.
"Hope you enjoyed your night?" he asked again.
Mr Svaboda nodded his head but didn't say a word.
"We are glad it was to your liking sir" he said and bowed.
"Hope you have made arrangements for our departure?" he asked.
"Yes Sir, we did as you requested and arranged the car at the other exit, the press have surrounded the building, just like you anticipated" he answered.
The press?. I had heard that the press could make someone run mad by just taking photos and asking questions and I didn't think I was ready to face that.
As if sensing my unease, he wrapped me around his arms all the more.
He nodded.
"You can't continue with your work now" he ordered them all dispersed, except for the manager.
"This way Sir" he led us to the back exit where our car was waiting and lucky enough for us, there was no press.
"Have a safe trip sir, ma'am" he said and then walked back into the building.
Our car drove of on it's own, just like Trixie.
As we were driving, I just couldn't help but ask.
"The staffs of that hotel really do respect you a lot" I said.
"You must be pretty important to them, I guess?" I asked, hypothetically.
"I own the hotel" he answered, matter of fact.
I had to turn to look at him when he said that. Like, he actually owned that huge building, all of it.
I wonder how rich that man is?, I thought.
I was a girl from a poor village who was hungry for adventure and now I feel like just being with him is an adventure on it's own and I knew there was going to be more in store if I stuck with him.
My adventurous spirit was so excited.
Finally, we reached the airport and to my surprise, we didn't wait in line as we just walked to a plane that was parked at the end of the airport and boarded. It was just the two of us.
I didn't know that a person could own his own plane till that day.
Not long after we settled, our plane took of to the land of love, Paris.
