For Life - EXO x YOU

X - Honeymoon Trsyt

AJ x XIUMIN

Xiumin entered the room expecting an excited AJ but instead he saw her walk past him expressionlessly. She was wearing a navy blue night gown with lace work done on the sleeves with a deep neck line, only to reveal the rise of her beautiful bosoms. It had thin straps to hold on to her body and was perfect enough to make her look sexy even at this hour of the night. Her hair was let loose in a careless manner and with tired eyes she sat on the bed. Xiumin found her too inviting even at this hour of the day but he chose to control his urges.

There was complete silence for seconds.

"I am not too comfortable with this idea of a honeymoon trip so soon," AJ said worriedly.

"I love to travel and explore new places. Maldives is an amazing place to be but......," she said stopping abruptly.

"..... but.... but what AJ? You still can't get over Chen?" Xiumin asked in a stern voice.

AJ looked quizzically at him. She so much wanted to tell him that she had got over Chen long back and from the time she had agreed to date him she had not thought of Chen even once..

There was silence again.

"Give it a chance dear," Xiumin said in a mellowed tone and went to sleep.

Little had he known that merely accompanying his cousin for consultation would help him find a confident, witty and a beautiful companion like AJ.

AJ pondered over this whole night. She thought, "Chen is a closed chapter now and I cannot dare to reopen those pages. Xiumin has given me enough time when we were dating. I need time to know him too."

She wasn't sure if it was going to work out between them but there was a ray of hope.

Marrying an architect like Xiumin, with a completely different background had been a tough choice for her. The man who was always on the covers of the industrial news and also managed to make it on Page 3 had actually agreed to marry a young Psychiatrist like AJ. It was strange but true.

Dating had been easy for AJ. They spoke like friends, behaved normally but on their first night after marriage, thoughts of honeymoon made her feel jittery. Xiumin, on the other hand was relaxed and poised.

It was 4 A.M; AJ was still awake. She waited for Xiumin to wake up. He was getting ready when he saw his beauty walk up to him. "I just wish I could hold her tight in my arms right now," Xiumin thought.

"Xiumin............... I....... I.... will give it a try."

There was an abrupt pause.

She smiled faintly and said, "Let's hurry; we need to pack for the evening flight."

They reached International Airport by morning. Xiumin had booked a small motor boat that took them to Paradise Island in Maldives.

"It looks exquisitely amazing Xiumin," AJ chirped out loudly.

One island only for us! Isn't it spooky?

Breaking into a crooked smile he said, "That serves the purpose."

Xiumin was a guy who was disciplined yet cool, challenging yet generous, modest and mostly fun loving. Xiumin was opiated by his work yet he made sure he arranged this trip. He wanted to make AJ feel comfortable with him in every way.

Maldives was just meant for them. Cool blue water, exotic tropical flowers around, a private villa, a private bar, sapphire lagoons, breathtakingly picturesque surroundings and a beautiful couple like Xiumin and AJ. The sparks were missing though.
