Unconditional Love

Chapter 5

The ceremony had gone well, except for the part where there were partially late. Tears were shed and smiles filled the room. Reception went exceptionally well. Lights were slightly dimmed and everyone was just delighted to be there. Meryl would glance at Jenna once in a while and every time she looked, she saw Jenna smiling, but it wasn't her usual smile, it was a fake one. She wanted to just hug her and comfort her but she couldn't, if she did, people would've gotten suspicious. Time went by faster than anyone had realized and people started going home. It was now down to just the family left in the room. Meryl knew Maks was dying to go, however she also knew he never wanted to be the one who tells everyone that they were leaving.

"Should we leave?" Meryl asked Maks rhetorically

"Mmhm"

Meryl got up from her seat and walked towards Val and Jenna

"Hey I think we're going to get going now" Meryl said to both of them

"Oh" the two said together, with completely different expressions

Meryl hugged Val first and then Jenna

"Good luck. Call me if something happens" Meryl whispered while hugging Jenna

"Okay" Jenna replied with a shaky voice

They all waved good bye to each other and then they were gone

The ride home was rather silent. A few words were exchanged here and there. 'He's always like this when he's itching to do something' she thought, and with no doubt, she was correct. Once they were inside the house, Maks was kissing her against the wall.

"Maks" Meryl said, breathing heavily

"Yeah babe"

"We should go to the room"

"We have the whole house to ourselves Meryl"

"Maks.."

"Fine" Maks said grabbing her while she wrapped her legs around his waist

They got in the room and Maks laid Meryl down on the bed

"Maks.. Does Val want kids?" Meryl said while Maks was busy kissing her collarbones

"Not sure. Why?" Maks said, not really paying attention to what she's saying

"Well I was just wondering.."

"The real question is, does Meryl Davis want to have kids?" He asked with a smirk

"I mean I'd love to"

In a matter of minutes they were both naked
*****************************
8:00 AM
Meryl opened her eyes and saw him still sleeping right beside her. She brushed one of her fingers down his cheeks as if she was getting her fingers on one of the most delicate thing on earth. She leaned a little closer to him and placed a soft kiss on his forehead, his eyes slowly fluttering open.

"Morning" he said staring up at her face

"Morning. I'm gonna get breakfast ready" getting out of the bed and throwing on his shirt before she walked towards the door

She reached for the door handle but a pair of hands stopped her. He hugged her from the back and started kissing her neck again. They were swaying from left to right

"I love you"

She giggled "I love you too Maksim"

"Breakfast can wait"

Then their lips smashed against each others. Fingers tangles with one another. Meryl pushed back a little

"Maks.. I hear music downstairs"

"Wait you prepared breakfast for us aready?"

"I was about to, but if you hadn't realized, you were the one who stopped me"

"Did we leave the music playing last night?"

She shook her head in response. Maks gave her a look and rushed downstairs with her behind him

"Alex?!"

The blonde who was dancing about in the kitchen stopped to see who had called him

"Oh hey! Breakfast?" He offered

"What the hell? Alex this is my house. Who gave you the permission to stay here?!"

"Calm down buddy, your brother said I could stay here instead of a hotel"

"Okay first off, I own this house to myself now. And secondly, why didn't you or Val tell me that you were gonna stay here?!"

"I don't know why you're overreacting. It's not like I've never stayed here before"

"Well maybe it's because I wanted to spend time with Meryl and only Meryl"

"Yeaah, you guys were pretty loud last night"

Meryl blushed and hid behind Maks, slightly kicking his foot

"Argh can you just leave please?"

"Alright alright, I'll be out of here by the end of today. In the meantime, just act like I'm not here"

Then Meryl's phone buzzed in her hand. She checked to see who it was.. Jenna

"Sorry I have to pick this up, be back in a sec"

She rushed to the living room and quickly picked it up

"Jenna?"

"Meryl, what do I do?"

"What's wrong?!"

"Morning sickness. He's going to find out"

"You could say it was because of something you ate"

"I could for the first few days, but not weeks"

"Right, find another bathroom?"

"There's only one our room right now"

"Then go to the hotel lobby, there's supposed to be bathrooms there.."

"Are you out of your mind? I won't go to the lobby just to puke! People would probably be concerned plus Val would be looking for me"

"Do you have any other plan? At least those people are strangers and you're most likely never seeing them again. If Val does look for you just say you were checking something or went down to grab something"

"Okay. Thanks. See you soon"

"Bye. Good luck"

Meryl hung up. She took a step backwards before bumping onto Maks.

"Maks.. Babe, were you behind me the entire time?"

"Only for the last 5 seconds. Who was that on the phone?"

"Oh, just Jenna telling me how amazing Miami is.."

"She's trying to make you jealous eh?"

"I mean I'm not jealous or anything"

"Well you shouldn't be. We're going to Hawaii on October 9th"

Meryl's eyes popped out. She loved Hawaii and everything and this would be amazing but she wanted to be there for Jenna

"Maks that's only what, a day after Jenna and Val get back?"

"Babe, it's the only time we're both free for the next few months. It's not like they need us anyway"

"How long are we staying there?"

"I was planning for about 2 weeks or so"

"2 weeks?! Maks we can't, we've got responsibilities here"

"That's the whole point Meryl, we don't. I checked, multiple times even"

"Alright then. Thank you babe" she said, reaching out and hugging him

"I love you. We're gonna have a blast there"

'Sorry Jenna' she thought to herself
