What If...: The Story of What Could Have Been

A Honeymoon to Forget

Once the reception was completed, the now married couple left for their flight to Hawaii. The first step Lily took off the plane felt free for a moment until she felt an arm around her waist. The two soon left for the hotel and Maxwell spared no expense he could with the money he was given for the honeymoon. He got the biggest and most expensive room along with a whole club room for the two. Everything would be perfect to Lily if instead of Maxwell, it was Eren.

Lily sat in one of the club chairs, gazing out of the large windows to the ocean. She felt so close to it from where she was. She imagined her feet touching the water, cold as ice but it was a wonderful feeling. The goosebumps on her skin would rise as the splashing of the cold salt water hit her dry warm skin. How the wet sand would feel so nice on her bare feet. Her thoughts were once again cut off when she felt a pair of warm lips on her pale cheek. It was Maxwell of course and he took his seat next to his wife. Lily just kept her gaze out to the window and Maxwell sighed.

"My love, we have not done what normal honeymooners would do." He reminded her. Lily sighed and held her arms.

"I'm really not in the mood." She responded but Maxwell sighed.

"We have to before we leave. I'm not leaving until we do it." Maxwell declared to Lily. She sighed and looked at him.

"Maxwell please..." she muttered. Her hands on her arms. Maxwell sighed and nodded.

"Ok ok... I'm sorry;" he said and got an idea. "Say, I have been saving some wine for when we got married and now that it has happened, what do you say?" He offered. Lily looked at him and nodded.

"Sure...;" She answered. Maxwell nodded and got up, grabbing two wine glasses and pouring the wine into the glasses. Maxwell handed her the glass and sat down in his seat. The two clinked their glasses together and sipped their drinks. "Maxwell, it tastes amazing." Lily said and held her glass open for more. Maxwell chuckled and poured more in with no hesitation.

"Imported from Napa." He simply answered. Lily smiled and continued to drink more of it. As time passed, the more she drank. The more she drank, the more she began to become more relaxed a giggly.

"Maxwell, I love you." She said with giggles at the end. Maxwell smiled and kissed her gently.

"I love you too Lily;" He answered and suddenly felt her lips on his. He of course, didn't hesitate and kissed her back quickly. This grew more passionate to the point where Maxwell had to break the kiss off. "Let's take this to the bedroom." He offered to her. Lily giggled again but nodded in response. He smiled and got up from his seat, extending his arm out. Lily smiled and took it but Maxwell quickly swooped her off her feet and began to carry her bridal style to their room. Lily was just giggling for the whole time. Once they reached the room, the 'Do Not Disturb' sign went up and the bed creaked the whole night under a moonless night.

Lily woke up the next morning, groaning due to the pain she had in her head. She rubbed it gently, suddenly feeling her chest become cold. She looked down and saw it bare. Her reaction was to cover her chest with the bedsheets but she just was so confused. She heard the door open and she covered her breasts, in fear someone would see. It was Maxwell of course with his outfit on and a mimosa in his hand.

"Last night was amazing my love..." Maxwell said as he sipped his drink. Lily looked at him with confusion.

"What happened last night?" She asked, rubbing her head. Maxwell sighed with a smile and sat down on the bed next to her. She scooter away, still covering her body. Maxwell pulled out some water and handed it to her.

"Why, we made love all night long. It was... amazing;" He explained and continued to sip his mimosa. Lily dropped the glass when she heard the words 'made love'. Maxwell sighed. "We will get that cleaned. Right now, get dressed in your bathing suit. It's time to get to the ocean." He said and put his now empty mimosa glass down on the nightstand and went over to get his bathing suit on. Lily on the meanwhile was trying to remember why she did what she did. Why?
