The Modern Princess

CHAPTER 18

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

All my bags are packed for the ten-day honeymoon trip. The first plan was only for four days but he wanted it to be fourteen days and trust me we've discussed a whole damn day just to settle with that ten days. I made sure I pack everything, my ten day outfit, my make ups, toiletries and...lingerie. Sophia made sure to send me a package full of it, and it says on the card "I don't trust your taste, one month supply of lingerie for you duchess" and she did kissed the card. She wasn't lying when she said one month supply of it, because it was exactly thirty one different kinds. I do not know if I shall be thankful or hateful about that.

I was checking on my things when Jeanne held me on the waist and whispered seductively "Can we just jump into the part of honeymoon?"

"Then let's just stay here then" I offered, knowing he will not get that bait. He's been keeping everything a secret for me. Yes, I do not know the itinerary and all that he has instructed me was prepare for my clothes and bring myself.

"I can still wait baby." He hissed and spun me around "For now I can settle for a kiss" and he descended his lips on mine.

The flight will be around four to five hours. Switzerland. I've never been there before. I asked him where are we going to stay and he said he that we have a house there. I shouldn't be surprised should I?

We arrived at Berne Switzerland at five in the morning, it was cold yet there is already light. Jeanne gathered me on his arms as we wait for our passports. "You hungry baby?" he asked skimming his hand on my arm to ease the coldness. No snows were there to be found but it feels like that. "Not really" I answered and leaned on his chest.

He kissed my hair and asked "Can you still wait for about three hours?" Three hours? Are we still far from the house?

I looked up at him, "Is your house far?"

"Our house" he corrected. "It's a forty five hour drive from here but we're not going there yet"

I frowned, "Then where are we going?"

He smirks and kissed the corner of my lips "That is my first surprise" my mouth hang open and he sealed it with a kiss.

After thirty minutes we were ready to go. Twenty five body guards are with us. And I think they're overreacting for bringing this much body guards. Can't do anything, besides, Jeanne is with me, he's the real Royal anyway.

When we were inside the limousine, Jeanne gathered me beside him, putting a possessive hand over my shoulder. It was only the two of us in the back seat, giving us a little privacy. I looked at him and traced his nose "Don't you want to sleep? I know you've been sleeping late lately for this trip"

"And I didn't make it perfect just for me to sleep and not see the payoff of my effort" I smiled at this sweet guy. What good did I do to deserve this man?

"Thank you Jeanne, I do not know what I did to deserve you, to deserve this"

He held my face with his both hands and traced my lips "You are worth everything Katherine, you deserve this, but you keep on degrading yourself that you are not good enough but you are, you are perfect baby. You are perfect for me" I kissed him in reply. I almost said it, I almost confessed that I love him. I love him. I am not afraid of saying those eight letters, but I am afraid that he doesn't feel the same or that if I say it, it will ruin everything.

I place my head on his chest, hearing his heartbeat. God, if this will end, then end it now. I don't want to mend my broken heart again. I do not know if I can mend it if he leaves me. I sighed. This is not me, I don't depend my happiness to another person, and it seems like when I did, that was when I become a fool.
