Dark of the Moon

Chapter Thirteen: Back to Andorra

Sergio drew his wife close as they exited the airport, they had just arrived in Andorra for the wedding and the couple wanted nothing more than to settle down for the evening before they went to visit Nicole tomorrow.

Eliza was nine weeks pregnant and Sergio was doing everything in his power to make sure that their unborn child and her were safe; the couple were excited to learn what they would be having next week.

“How are you feeling?” Sergio asked her softly as he drew her closer, the couple reaching the car ignoring the looks that they were given from people who passed them.

Eliza flashed him a smile as Jorge opened the rental car door for them, the blonde slipped inside first followed by Sergio who nodded at Jorge before the door was closed.

“I’m okay,” Eliza confirmed making her husband nod his head, he drew her close as Jorge started to drive them to their hotel; the blonde smiled softly as she felt Sergio trail his hand up and down in comfort.

After their talk, the couple had found themselves starting to adapt to a new stage in their relationship; Eliza and Sergio had settled into their married life now that there were no more secrets between them; Sergio couldn't have been happier that his wife was more than willing to express her feelings for him.

“The sooner we are at the hotel the better,” Sergio murmured making Eliza nod her head, she wanted to have a little time to relax before she went to see Nicole; the brunette had been thrilled to hear that her best friend was still coming to the wedding.

It didn't take long for them to reach the Andorra Park Hotel from the airport, Sergio climbed out of the car and offered his hand to Eliza and helped her from the car; the blonde smoothed out her blue seamed detail sweetheart bodycon dress that she had paired with black platforms.

Eliza glanced at her husband as two of the hotel’s bellboys rushed forward to collect their suitcases, she wasn’t used to the attention that she was getting; Sergio offered her a small discreet smile in comfort as he lead her inside.

Only when they were alone did the couple relax complete, Eliza slipped off her platforms while Sergio moved around their hotel suite; he wanted to make sure that everything was okay before he settled down with his wife.

“What are we doing for dinner?” Eliza enquired making Sergio chuckle as he looked at her, his eyes trailed along her tanned legs as she trailed a hand up them after she had removed her platforms.

“I was thinking that we eat out… saves ordering room service,” Sergio said as he moved back to his wife’s side, she nodded her head as she stood and ran a hand through her hair as Sergio drew her close to him.

Eliza grinned as she wrapped her arms around Sergio’s neck and kissed him, Sergio held her close as they kissed; they hadn’t been able to be together like this since they had left their home that morning.

“Do you want to rest for a while?” Sergio asked as he rested a hand on the swell of her stomach, the werewolf smiled as he felt the soft movements of his unborn child; he couldn't wait to become a father in a few weeks.

Eliza nodded her head as she ran her fingers through her husband’s hair; he chuckled as he kissed her lips before he pulled away from her.

“Rest… I’ll make arrangements for dinner,” Sergio said as he left his wife alone, Eliza watched him leave amused knowing that he was thinking of her and the baby; the blonde couldn't wait to learn what they were having.

Eliza and Sergio had talked about it briefly since she would only be pregnant for 20 weeks, the brunette had been a little nervous about how fast the pregnancy was going to pass but Sergio had reassured her, that all would be okay.

Sergio took Eliza’s hand as they entered Versailles for dinner; the couple were looking forward to a quiet evening together before the wedding.

The hostess nearly choked on her pen when she saw who had entered the restaurant, she stared at Eliza stunned for a moment before she moved to do her job; the blonde held back a laugh as she realised who it was.

“Right this way Lord and Lady Ramos,” the hostess said shooting Eliza a bitter look as she lead the couple to their private table, Sergio offered his wife a confused look making her shake her head; she’d tell him when they were alone.

Once they had been seated and had been left alone by the hostess, who again glared at Eliza; Sergio looked at his wife wanting an answer.

“I went to school with her,” the blonde said simply making Sergio nod his head, he knew there was more to it than that; Eliza rolled her brown eyes as her husband watched her for a moment.

“She was the school bully that thought she was better than everyone else… I was her favourite victim,” Eliza said with a shrug as she sipped on her glass of water, Sergio frowned as he looked over at the hostess, who was glaring openly at Eliza.

“Leave it… it was a long time ago,” Eliza said softly as she nudged Sergio’s leg in comfort, she knew better than to openly be affectionate with him.

“You came out on top either way… you’re trained as a nurse and now a Lady while she’s stuck as a hostess,” Sergio said glaring at the hostess who looked away; Eliza nodded her head as she watched her husband wondering what he was thinking.

The blonde knew that he was protective and that if the hostess tried anything then there would be trouble; Sergio turned his attention to his wife before he took her hand and rubbed his thumb over her wrist.

“Did she ever hurt you?” he asked curiously making Eliza shake her head with a small smile on her lips, she watched him for a moment wondering what he was thinking.

“Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never harm me,” Eliza muttered making Sergio frown at her rhyme, he laced his fingers with hers wondering what had happened to her in high school.

Eliza licked her lips as she watched her husband, she had spotted something dark flicker through his eyes and it made her wondering what he was thinking.

“As I said it was a long time ago… however I doubt she’s grown up since then,” Eliza said as she glanced over at the hostess, who was now glaring openly at her; Sergio frowned before he kissed his wife softly.

Eliza looked at him alarmed as he slipped away from their table, Jorge moved to keep an eye on the blonde while Sergio had a word with the manager; Eliza watched for a moment wondering what he was doing.

The werewolf spoke with the restaurant manager for a moment before he returned to Eliza’s side, she raised an eyebrow at him curiously.

“Now she won’t be bothering you,” Sergio said as the manager angrily spoke with the hostess who looked at her boss nervously.

Eliza stared at her husband stunned that he had done that, however it didn't surprise her since he had become very protective about her as of late and didn't take anything lightly.
