Together but Separate

Chapter 34: It's Overdue

Kate R. Ferragni

We just landed in the airport here in Kalibo. We utilized the Ferragni's small jet to take us here. Upon arriving at the airport, a group of people welcomed us with gladness. They guided us to where the van was parked and using the van, we were dropped off at the port, wherein we would ride a speedboat to Boracay Island.

It took us more or less ten minutes to arrive in the island because the speedboat was fast. It docked in a more private port in Keyhole. This port was where celebrities, special guests, VIPs or wealthy people usually would use to keep their trip private or to avoid the crowd. Another van was waiting for us to take us to our villa.

We were welcomed with happy faces by the staff and offered us complimentary drinks. They even carried our luggages for us as they led us to our villa. So far, everything went smoothly. It was really different if you had connections like what Nicko had. The transitions from place to another were very convenient and stress free. This was what wealth and popularity could do. Most interactions with people had special treatments.

"Enjoy your stay, Mr. and Mrs. Ferragni. Please let us know if there's anything you need. We will gladly help you."

"We will do. Thank you so much," I told the staff who helped us settled in our villa.

When all of them left, my eyes wandered around the place. This villa was so beautiful. Although it was in a resort, it felt like we were in a home. It was only a one-storey villa but it was equipped with everything a house should have. It has its own living room, kitchen, bedroom, wide bathroom, balcony and our own mini pool with a jacuzzi tub beside it.

"Wow, Nick. This is beautiful," I said when I finished touring the villa and ended up in the pool area, from where I could see the beautiful beach view.

I felt his arms encircling my waist and his head rested on my right shoulder. "I am glad you like it," he said and kissed my cheek.

I pulled away a little bit to face him with a wide smile. I held his face with both hands and said, "Like? No, I love it! Thank you for bringing me here." Then I tiptoed to plant a kiss on his lips.

He smiled wider after that kiss and held my waist to push me closer to him. Our faces were now few inches away from each other. The smile would not leave our faces as we stared at each other lovingly.

"I love seeing you happy, my amore," he whispered. "You look even more beautiful when you are happy and it makes me love you more."

"You are flattering me too much," I giggled. "Did I ever tell you that you are so handsome and sexy?"

I saw him looked surprise. Parang hindi siya makapaniwala sa narinig niya. Well, this was my first time complimenting his looks, and I would only do it in private. Just like now. It was more intimate if it was only two of us who could hear it. Besides, I didn't have to say those words in front of people because they already knew that.

"No, amore. This is the first time." His eyes sparkled with emotion as he looked at me.

I chuckled. "Well, now you heard it. Don't grow a big head, okay? And make sure to remember it coming from me because I may not say it again especially if we are in front of people—"

I was not able to finish my sentence because he sealed my lips with his. Mas lalo niya pa akong nilapit sa kanya at pinalalim ang halik niya. I encircled my arms around his neck as I returned his kisses.

There was no hesitations in his every move. He lifted me up to carry me without breaking our kiss. He laid me down on the bed gently. Wala rin akong inhibitions dahil nabigay ko naman na ang sarili ko sa kanya kahapon. Yesterday was already very intimate and passionate but today was even more so. I could not explain the feeling, but I knew I loved every second that I was intimate with my husband. Nicko was the most gentle man I ever met. This guy was just oozing with respect and gentleness while managing to take my breath away.
