Arranged Marriage

Love: Paris

Jax Pov
Three months before the date of the first marriage , and months after Arielle and I found our way back to each other. The world might have thought the wait for the real wedding was too long. But to us, it wasn’t. Every day spent waiting was a day spent choosing each other, over and over again. We weren’t rushing. We were building something certain, something lasting. This time, there were no deadlines. Just us...and all the time we needed.

"Hon?" I uttered, we're at the living room of my house. She stayed over for the weekend.

"Yes, love?" she spoke, turning her head at me and that beautiful eyes of hers captivated me all over.

"What do you think of taking a short vacation overseas?" I asked, she squint her eyes. I know it was sudden, and I know she will react that way.

"Vacation? It's in the middle of the year. Don't you have a new collection to be released?" she spoke, now furrowing. She's so cute when she worry about my work when she doesn't have to. She's mt priority.

"I'll let André handle the company events" I said, and he's already doing that anyway.

Arielle looked at me intently, her hand reached my face, caressing it. I can sense that she's worried.

"Love.." she spoke, softly. I scoot closer and stare at her eyes.

"Are you worried about my work?" I asked, she gently nodded. I hold her hand that's on my face, as I give her an assuring smile.

"Is there a reason for it? Do I make you feel like I'm neglecting my work for you?" I gently asked, she nodded again. Oh geez.

"I'm just...I don't know. You're workaholic before I came to your life" she spoke, with her lips pouting.

This woman is making me weak om my knees. Why's is she so gorgeous? So kind? And so understanding?

"My love, you have nothing to worry about. I can still work while I make time for you. Work can wait. André is there. Dad is there. Yves is there. And even if they're not, I'm still gonna make time for you" I assured. But her eyes still has those worry.

"Do you know why I become workaholic? That's because I have nothing to focus on except for work. Nothing interests me, not even those women that dad sets me up for blind date" I continued,

"And then, you came. My routine changed. But it was a good change." I added, I can see her lips smiling subtly.

"Suddenly, my priority was switching up. Even if I hated our set up, you become my top priority without me realizing. And now, you will stay on top my list, no rivals. Only you. You above anything else" I spoke, and finally she's smiling.

"I'll always make time if it's about you." I spoke.

"Why are you so sweet?" she said in low voice, I giggled.

"I'm just saying, my love. You are my priority" I spoke, her cheeks turns red, her eyes avoids my gazes. Geez. Why does everything she do makes me giddy?

"So, what do you think? Let's have vacation? Just for three days" I spoke, please don't reject it Hon.

"Amore? Hmm?" a gentle and the sweetest tone I always use to convince her. Please work this time too. I'm begging.

And luckily, she looked at me and cupped my face.

"Alright then. Let's plan that trip" she spoke. My smile grew wider. Yes!
