King of Nothing

Then (10)

“Ladies and Gentlemen please keep all bags under the seat in front of you, and all electronics off while the plane prepareS to land.” The flight attendant spoke through the phone, and all the passengers obeyed to what she said. 

 We were on our honeymoon, Liz and I. I treated her on a trip to Hawaii. We were staying at a five-star resort, which literally had endless possibilities of things you could do there. We had booked a suite with three bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room, and two bathrooms. It even had the perfect view of the beach where the waves gently lapped up onto the beach.

 Liz refused it of course, but I had insisted. I wanted us to have the best time possible. Plus, it was good to have all of the extra space. Liz loved it anyways. The only reason I had treated the two of us to this was because she had never been to Hawaii and I had the money to afford it. My business was only flourishing, not failing, so I took the gamble and bought us two flights to this exotic island. 

 Liz and I did as we were told and fastened out seat belts quite tightly. I had a fear of planes, or heights so to say. I always had this itching thought we would be flying thousands of feet in the air and then something would malfunction and we would come crashing down to the ground. 

 Liz held my hand with excitement, while I held her back with anticipation and nervousness. 

 We stayed in that position for some time, and then the plane slowly lurched to the ground with hardly any troubles. There was no turbulence so the ride was actually sort of smooth.

 We left the plane after all the other people on the machine rushed off. Then we exited the plane and then the airport without any issues. 

 A cab was waiting there for us courtesy of the hotel we booked with, and we hopped in. Okay, it wasn’t exactly a cab. It was more like a limousine. But hey, same difference. 

 “It’s so hot in here.” Liz says, she starts taking off her sweater which left only her spaghetti-strapped tank-top on. Then she took out her pony-tail out and let her hair go wild. 

 “Oh, wow…that’s, revealing. Not that I’m complaining.” I said, proud of my compliment. I needed to take every opportunity to make her believe she was beautiful because that was something Liz truggled with believing all on her own. 

 “Oh, you like?” Liz replied, she winked at me this time too. It was common thing her and I did to share our affection for each other. 

 “Of course sweetie.” I said.

 “Well then.” Liz answered. The limo zoomed into the hotel’s parking lot and stopped in front of the hotel’s lobby. 

 We marched in with grins on our face and jitteriness in our bodies. That was our first vacation together.

 Before we knew it we had opened up the door to our suite and we explored the amazingness or the extravagant thing. It truly was astonishing. We both had loads of money back then, but this was just on a whole new level. Never had we ever treated ourselves like this before, even before we had started dating. 

 “It’s been a long night, why don’t we head to bed.” I offered to Liz. She had a smirk on her face the entire time I said that.

 “Okay.” She chided. Then she kissed me harder than ever. She tasted like wine, (the limousine offered it), and smelt like vanilla. My favourite. 

 She kissed me and didn’t ease up. I didn’t either.

  You can tell we didn’t do very much sleeping that night.
