The Obsessive Husband

ii. the honeymoon and the honey flavored moon cakes

Venice is excited.

It wasn't the first time she went to Bora-Bora but she's happy to be back.

They entered their hotel room that was reserved by their parents one week before they got married.

Louven awkwardly stared at Venice when he saw the room.

"There's only one..."

"Bed, I know." Venice finished for him. "What do you expect from a honeymoon suite? 2 bunk beds?" She sarcastically said.

"If you feel uncomfortable, I'll be happy to take the couch," Louven said as he walks towards the couch near the bed. Venice quickly stopped him.

"Oh no, you won't. We're sharing the bed, that's what married people do." Venice escorted Louven to the bed.

"So, where to first?"

After unpacking they went outside to enjoy the beach. They haven't decided what to do yet, so they settled with walking near the shore.

"Do you want to eat?" Louven suggested when he saw a restaurant. Venice was about to say no, but she figured there is nothing better to do.

The restaurant looks cozy, it's a perfect place to enjoy the outside view while dining.

Before they could even order their food, few people who recognize them approached their table and said their congratulations. Venice and Louven offered them polite smiles and answers. Smile and wave, Venice thought.

Finally, when the appetizers came, the people around them dispersed to give respect to their privacy and they were left to silently eat their food.

"What are your plans tomorrow?" Louven asked.

"I don't have one, yet," Venice answered.

"Do you want to scuba dive?" Venice nodded. She hasn't tried scuba diving on her last trip here, and by the time they go back home, they'll be busy with work again. She wants to enjoy the trip as much as she can.

The waiter returns with a red box. The two become quiet, confused about what is inside of the red box.

"What is this?" Louven asked as he held the box.

"Honey mooncakes, sir." The waiter said.

"On the house?" Venice happily opened the box, she loves mooncakes.

"No, sir." The waiter said.

"Then there must be a mistake, we didn't order this," Louven said but Venice couldn't care less. She continued to eat the mooncakes. Whatever, we can just pay for it., she thought.

"The gentleman at table 3 ordered them and told me to send them to you." Venice looked over at the person mentioned by the waiter when she saw who it is her eyes instantly light up.

Venice waved at him, smiling.

Louven was curious about who can put that smile on Venice and looked at the man as well. Vaughn?

-

"It's your favorite dessert, am I right?" Vaughn asked. Venice nodded eagerly as she stuffed her face with mooncakes. Louven silently took his phone from his pocket and secretly took a picture of Venice. Loving how she's so happy with the food.

"Good to know." Vaughn smiled.

"Are you following us now?" Louven jokingly asked. His cousin gave me a sly smile.

"I'm here on a business trip, Ven," Vaughn said. "Then I remembered you're staying here for your honeymoon. Didn't know I'll see you this soon, but I just want to check up on how you're treating my new cousin-in-law."

"Will you join us?" Venice asked. Louven raised an eyebrow at her. Venice knew that she's on a honeymoon, but it'll be rude to ignore Vaughn. Plus, Vaughn's presence means she doesn't need to be alone with Louven all the time.

Vaughn looked at Louven and smirked, "Sure, why not?"

Louven scoffed at Vaughn's teasing expression as he sat down next to him.

"Don't you have business to go to?" Louven said.

"I do because I'm taking over for you," Vaughn said, annoyed that he has to do his cousin's work for the week. When I get married and go on a honeymoon, I'm dumping my work to him too., Vaughn thought.

"Oh, it's okay Vaughnie! Louven will make it up to you next week, right?" Venice said.

"Better start tomorrow. Why don't you two lovebirds attend the meeting tomorrow? I know you're supposed to be on a break but one meeting won't hurt, right?" Vaughn smirked at Louven. Louven was about to throw his fork to Vaughn but there are cameras outside, taking pictures of the newly wedded couple on their trip. He had to maintain the nice reputation he has.

Venice, the always polite smiled and look at Louven. "Do you want to do that?"

"Do you?" Louven softly asked. Vaughn resists the urge to video the two or to puke from his cousin's soft voice.

"We have no plans tomorrow, might as well make money." Venice cutely said. Louven nodded.

"Okay, let's do that." Vaughn let out a 'Yes' when Louven agreed. "What are you celebrating for, Vaughn?" Vaughn stopped silently celebrating with his cousin's tone.

"Why not? I get to explore the island tomorrow, that's worth celebrating." Vaughn even clapped like a 10-year-old boy.

"No, you're still attending the meeting tomorrow, we're just coming with you," Louven said, Venice giggled at Vaughn's confused reaction.

"But you said--"

"We didn't say we're coming for you, we said, we're coming with you."

Vaughn's jaw dropped.

"You! Traitor, I'm gonna get you one of these days." Vaughn said. Venice just continued to giggle on how cute the two cousins interact, Vaughn, annoyed from his situation stole the mooncake in her hand and ate it in one bite.

"My mooncake!" Venice pouted seeing Vaughn chew the last mooncake. "You heartless monster."

Vaughn let out a hearty laugh. "I'm the most handsome monster you've ever seen."

"I can't say anything because we're related," Louven said and proceeds to drink his wine.

"Listen, Venice. You're gonna love the meeting tomorrow." Vaughn said. "Because it's preeetty important."

"You sound drunk, what the hell," Venice said.

"Speaking of drunk, we should be drunk by now. Live the bora-bora spirit! Waiter! Rum please!" Vaughn said.

Venice looked at the adorable Vaughn. He may be crazy but at least he got some manners.

When the alcohol drinks arrived, Vaughn looked at the two them and raised his shot glass. "To a successful marriage for you two and more alcohol for me. Cheers!"

Laughing from Vaughn's speech, Louven and Venice - not caring if the paparazzis outside will take pictures, raised their shot glasses.

"Cheers!" And at the moment Venice thinks she's happy.
