AFTER MY HONEYMOON

chapter 31

She sucked In a breath. She suddenly felt anxious upon seeing his face....she was almost at a state of panic. And when he held unto her more tightly, snaking his hand around her waist, she felt repulsed. She tried to release herself from his hold....but it seemed like he wasn't ready to let go of her yet.

It clearly read in her eyes, that she would be anywhere but here with him...but he seemed reluctant to let her go. The silent struggle was interrupted by the employee who had ran by, in a hurry bumping her shoulder, and causing the immense pain she was feeling right now on her right ankle.

"I'm really sorry ma'am...it was an emergency please allow me to walk you to your room". The employee said with remorse written all over her face.

"It's alright". Mia said smiling to ease the obvious distress on the employee's face, more concerned about the fellow whose hand was still wrapped around her waist. When the employee offered to escort Mia, he intercepted " Don't bother I'm here to help her".

Mia turned to him, and still trying to free herself from his hold said "it's alright Mr. Wellington....she will help me from here, and thanks for breaking my fall I really appreciate it".

Perhaps, because of the many eyes, as well as that of the girl by her side watching, he reluctantly let go of her and Mia let out a breathe she didn't even know she had been holding.

The girl told hold of her hand, as well as holding onto her waist to help her move better. 

 The first step she took, reminded her of how much pain she was In. She winced causing the girl to apologize once again but she sucked in the pain. She needed to move and leave this place she thought to herself, before Dominic would find yet another reason to touch her, or even come close to her.

She was able to get into the elevator with the employee....then she mentioned her luggage, which she left downstairs at the lobby in fear that Dominic would follow shortly with it, and find yet another excuse to see her but, the employee assured her that she would bring it up for her.  He couldn't know her room...at least not yet. She didn't even bother wondering why he suddenly showed up here.  

Since Mr. wellington was his father, details like the hotel, and even the ARCHITECT CON would be easily made known to him. She was suddenly grateful that the information of guests, were kept confidential so at least unless she told him her room number, he wouldn't know what room she was staying in.

She finally arrived at her room with the help of the employee, whose name she later asked and the girl meekly replied " My name is Martha". She felt obligated to ask since the girl wouldn't stop apologizing and she was tired of hearing 'I'm sorry'.

"Martha it's alright....if you apologize one more time...the pain might increase".  she said smiling, trying to lighten the mood and after that, the girl stopped apologizing.

 Fishing out the room key from her purse, she felt relieved that she would stop walking for a moment. After swiping the card, the door and beeped showing a green light, it opened. Entering the room she was surprised at how big and beautiful it was. Martha led her to a plush sofa at the left corner of the room where she could finally rest her leg and turning to Martha at her side, she said " Umm...Martha please could you get my luggage and send a sprain spray for me if you don't mind".

Martha nodding her head, quickly left the room while closing the door behind her. Left all by herself, she looked around the room and noticed it was a suite...and why was it so big. She would have loved to explore the room but, she was sure that the pain on her ankle wouldn't let her. 

The suite was magnificent, the walls were painted a stunning cream color and the ceiling was decorated with a beautiful Chandelier. The drapes were a brilliant grey and the lamps gave off a warm feel to the room....felt like home. The floor to ceiling window displayed how beautiful the city could appear during the day, even from where she was sitting...she wondered how it would look at night...she also imagined how it would have been to spend holidays here with a certain someone but then again all that was in the past...she shook her head to rid herself of such thoughts.

Still fascinated by the view, she slowly stood up and limped with great effort towards the window. Folding her hands, she stood looking out the window she was but interrupted by a knock on the door and thinking it was probably Martha, she limped yet again towards the door and opening it, she was greeted with another employee who had come up with her luggage.....she offered a small' thanks' under her breath and watched as he stepped inside towards a door, which she presumed was the bedroom since he offered to keep it there for her.

He slowly bowed to her, and left closing the door behind him. After standing by the window for some time, her leg was starting to feel the pressure, so she slowly limped towards the sofa again and sat down. She was getting impatient now and wasn't exactly sure it was because of the sprain, but she could feel a headache coming on. Deciding to call room service, she walked to the telephone she saw earlier. She was about pressing the button, when she heard the familiar beep of the door and it opened. Thinking it was Martha she said "ooh Martha you......

"YOU!? here?". She exclaimed with shock written all over her face.

"What are you doing here?". She asked once again limping away from the telephone and towards him. And walking further into the room he said "Umm...this is my room".
