Back to December Book 2

Chapter 10: Morning in Maldives

I woke up in the morning, with Alfie's hand on my face. Yay to married life, right? I slowly moved his hand away from my face but I guess he was half sleeping like always, as he quickly pinched my stomach.

"Don't go. Stay."

I pulled his hands away and made my way off the bed. The place was awesome. I didn't really take much notice when we checked in, I walked around a bit outside, I exhaled, having finally found peace during my gaze down into the water.

This resort was like none I had ever been to before, it wasn't just by the water, it was on the water- held a few feet up by large wooden poles.

I got back on the bed, pulled my laptop out to work on my final works. I'm an Art major in University, I'm never not busy. I luckily managed to finish all my projects, school works and some client requests.

"Are you seriously doing work on your vacation? Come on babe."

I squeezed his cheeks and let him sleep more. I scrolled through Instagram, to check what's happening with my girls.

Shalyn, is pregnant with baby number two. Elizabeth is at Ryan's University graduation. And Taylor is engaged to Keagen.

I'm so lucky I have my girls with me. We have been friends since middle school and our friendship is still strong.

Alfie finally have woken up and started disturbing.

"Dude. Can you not? I have serious things to do currently."

"Checking your Instagram, scrolling through Twitter. Serious things huh, babe?"

I chuckled as he pulls me away from my laptop and walked outside our room.

I went back in to take my phone to take pictures, of course. I looked out and saw Alfie's maroon shirt and shorts laying in a pile on the deck and blurry figure approaching the surface of the water.

He resurfaced making me smile at the hair in his face which he quickly flicked away and rake with his hand.

I couldn't help but stare at my husband's pulsing biceps and question why you couldn't just see everything clear through water?

"Come on in Fel." he encouraged, a smirk set upon his face.

I shuffled to the edge of the deck and stared down into the sea below, "I don't know, looks a little far down for my liking." I replied and bit my lip religiously.

"Come on. I'm right here, I won't let you drown.. Or will I."

His "encouraging" words gave me comfort and made me more intrigued to try it besides if Alf could do it, I could do it better.

I immediately set to the task of stripping off my clothes, first I peeled my singlet up and threw it next to Alf's, then I unzipped my shorts and wriggled out of them, watching him as his eyes trailed my body accordingly.

After I was left in just my undergarments I stood at the edge ready to leap off and down to him.

"Here goes nothing." I whispered and took up step off the ledge, traveling through the air until my body molded into the water, sinking down.

However I was stopped when Alfie's hands held my hips, nothing like a trust test to start off a marriage.

"What did I tell you?" he asked pulling me closer to his chest and leaning his forehead against mine. I giggled and pulled a few small hairs on the back of his neck.

We stayed like this for a while, just floating around in the sun- hugging, kissing an whispering intimate things to each other.

"Thank you so much for this." I said before pecking his lips.

"Well I had a feeling you'd like this place alot."

"It's lovely but I meant thank you for choosing me to spend eternity with," a laugh escaped his lips.

"Well everyone else was off the market..." I gasped and hit his chest lightly, encouraging him to try again.

"Fel, I wouldn't have it any other way."
