Truth be told

Chapter 28

The following day, we slept until 12. Check out was meant to be at 10 am. I woke up before Brendon and saw the time. I shook him awake, and he was very chill about it all.
Brendon then explained that we were here another night.
I got up and ordered breakfast and a pot of coffee.
Whilst we waited for it to arrive, I went to use the bath. Well, I use the term "bath" loosely. It was like a mini swimming pool. I ran the bath and got in. The bubbles felt amazing. Brendon got in with me. We ended up having a quickie in the bath.
As we got out and got dried off, breakfast arrived. We were both so hungry.
"What do you want to do today, baby?" Brendon asked me.
"Honestly?" Brendon nodded. "Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I want to stay here and watch tv eat food and have lots of sex. I want it to just be us in our love bubble."
"Then that's what we will do." Brendon said. He pulled me to him and kissed me.
I turned the TV on and we watched a nightmare on Elm Street. "Finally." I laughed. Brendon looked at me curiously. I then explained about the night before the wedding.
"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you," Mom asked about the proposal." I laughed.
"What did you say to her?" Brendon asked, smiling.
"Well, baby, I sat her down and told her the whole story. I said you were still inside me when you proposed." Brendon looked horrified. I burst out laughing.
"Beebo ,chill. I just said that once we had made up, you proposed. I didn't go into detail with Mom."
"And she was good with that?" Brendon asked.
"Yes, she was." I replied and nodded.
"So nobody knows the actual proposal story then?"
"Weellll," I started.
"Lizzie, who did you tell?" I glanced at Brendon. "Elizabeth Urie, come on, tell me."
"Sarah and Caitlin." I answered.
"Why?" He asked, looking mortified.
"They are my 2 best friends. Also we are girls and we tell each other everything." I explained.
"Oh, I se-what do you mean? Like everything, everything?" I nodded.
"Beebo, how do you not know this? You have sisters and female friends." Brendon shrugged. "Look, it's just something that girls do. Nothing goes further than our circle. I know stuff about Sarah and Caitlins' relationship. I knew stuff about Kaylin and Kai, too."
"Really?" He raised an eyebrow. I nodded. "Can I ask why you share things like that?"
"Because we are girls, and it's in our nature to share stuff. We need an outlet to say things. For example, good sex." Brendon perked up when I mentioned that. "We swap tips on it because sometimes another person's opinion can help."
Brendon nodded. He put an arm around me as we watched one of the high school kids run away from Freddy Krueger.
"Has your mom not asked how you proposed?" I asked Brendon.
"She did, and I basically said the same as you." He chuckled.
"Ok." I laughed with him.
We had a lovely chilled day together. Tv food and lots of honeymoon sex.

It was back to reality today. Brendon had to get ready to return to work after the holidays, and I had college starting up again.
We checked out and got an Uber back to the apartment. I sighed and laid back my head in the Uber.
"You ok Lizzie?"
"Yea." I replied to Brendon. "Just sad that we have to go back to real life already." I looked over to Brendon and smiled, taking hold of his hand and kissing it.
"I know, baby, but we have every day of our lives together now." I nodded as we turned into the apartment complex parking lot.
We got our bags out of the trunk. I fished my keys out of my purse and unlocked the door.
"Hang on!" Brendon said, jogging over to me. I looked at him, wondering what he was up to. Once again, Brendon picked me up and carried me into our apartment.
"Welcome home, Mrs Urie." Brendon kissed me and set me down. He then picked our bags up and brought them in. As I wandered through to the kitchen. I gasped with delight when I saw that someone had decorated the kitchen with a 'Welcome home Mr and Mrs Urie ' banner. There was an envelope on the breakfast bar with our names on it.
Brendon picked the envelope up and opened it.
"Oh wow." He said.
"What?"
"Our parents. They have paid for a honeymoon for us. We are going to New York. "
"When for?" I asked, thinking about college and how I couldn't miss it, and Brendon couldn't miss work either.
"It's an open ticket. So we can pick our dates." Brendon explained. I nodded in appreciation.
Once we had unpacked and done a few chores around the apartment, I messaged Mom to thank her, and then I messaged Brendons parents. Well, I guess my in-laws now. Brendon went to do some lesson prep as school started again tomorrow. I had a couple of days before college. I did some coursework and then played some piano to improve my skill.
I was going to cook dinner later so I had a look in the fridge and there was nothing in there. I rolled my eyes and chuckled to myself. Guess I am going to Walmart then.
Brendon came through from the bedroom, and I said about going grocery shopping.
"Oh, we can both go." He said.

Arriving at Walmart, we got our cart and went around getting things we needed. Brendon went off again. I wanted to see what he came back with. As I browsed the shelves, looking for seasoning, I swore I saw someone watching me out the corner of my eye, at the end of the aisle. I shrugged it off and carried on shopping. I turned into the next aisle, picking up a jar of spaghetti sauce and some pasta. I had a feeling that someone was definitely watching me. I looked up and whoever it was quickly disappeared. I was about to go confront them when Brendon came back with chicken and ground beef, pork loins and a water gun. Yea I know. I have known Brendon long enough, not to question it anymore. As we chatted I forgot about whoever it was spying on us.
Finally we got to the checkout. Our cart was full. We went through the register and paid.
Loading the trunk there was a truck parked not far from us. The person sat inside was staring over at us. I returned the cart and got into the car. I drove us home. We blasted some music as we went along. Cruel Summer by Taylor Swift. We screamed that bridge out with the windows down.
