What Love Is

Loving and Caring

"Kayla! , I'm not turning a widower , Come on , get back on the yacht babe!"He stifled a laugh as I swiftly splashed water on him.
We had spent the last 6 days touring the amazing island ; cruising the yacht and taking a swim countless times till I finally learnt enough. I had never , ever , ever ,ever imagined a life as complete as this. I knew I could do anything else as long as I had Caesar and he had shown me ,( oh how he has..) that he would be with me through it all , loving me , providing for me and-

"Kay!" Caesar's voice cut through my thoughts.

"Fine , fine , I'm leaving the water"I chuckled , swimming back to the yacht after I had jumped off minutes ago , startling Leo.

"You haven't learnt everything yet you know , you can't stay in the water for that long when -"
I smooched the rambling fellow.
" K , you're getting too good at having your way"He scowled , throwing a pink towel over my wet form.
"Ah-ah Babe , the water feels so good !"I chuckled , as we entered the cabin.

"Uh-uh , that's not what you screamed out 4 days ago." He rolled his eyes , a mischevious smile playing on his tanned face.

I scowled , remembering how my dear husband played with my life after an unforgettable dinner at the Maldives exotic resort.

"I could've died that day babe"
"Oh ,I guess that's all we should remember about that day"He grinned , holding on to me.
My cheeks heated up as I recalled the long erotic moments that followed after my first swim.
"Right? ,Honey ? "He smirked as I looked away, playing with my wet hair. It was of no surprise how he managed to still get me all flustered and bothered.

Caesar's ringtone sounded in our bedroom as we entered the penthouse. I was surely going to miss this place like crazy.
He gave me a kiss before climbing upstairs to go for the phone.
I settled down on a long kitchen stool , munching on an apple.

"... I'll get it signed by tomorrow , alright... surely , you know we mean business Mr Gray , no delays"I heard Caesar's business tone as he descended the stairs.
I got up heading upstairs to change , he drew me back against him.
"...of course , let's not discuss this on phone then , .... certainly Mr Gray , see you soon"He cut the call and set his gaze on the turquoise bikini he bought me on own of our tours around.
"Love , let me go and change"I giggled as he unknotted the first piece.
" I'm helping"
"I can take off my own clothes- thank you very much"I swatted his arm off my breast. He laughed softly.
"Alright then , come down soon ,we need to talk , lunch will be here in 5minutes"
" Ah goooood , I'm starving"I rushed upstairs , pausing after a second.
"Talk?.. wait , about what? , Let's talk now"I sunk in his words.
"We won't do much of talking if you stay a minute in those." A wolfish grin on his face , I scowled hastily striding to our closet to get changed.

"I have something for you , when we get back"Those are the first words he spoke after we ate lunch and sat outside drinking white wine.
"Baby"I giggled in excitement.
"... that's not all "He strained his voice after.
"We'll have to get back tomorrow , I have this meeting with a few officials from-"
"But Leo! , we barely -"
"I know we planned on 2 weeks but it's really important that I be present during that meeting"
"Of course"I grumbled.
"Honey , don't be like that , listen I'll make it up to you yeah? (I looked away), heeyy"
"You better have an island like this one if you intend to make it up to me"I grudgingly muttered under my breath.
"If it's an island you want , we already own one"He chuckled lightly.
I frowned , playing cool like my heart didn't skip too high after hearing that " Leo , you're not helping , it's not gonna be the same , this is our honeymoon "
"I'm sorry , I do understand you, but I will make it up to you , I promise"
I hid a smile , already failing at staying mad.
"What do you say sweetheart?"Caesar asked.
I didn't want to look at him , taking a last sip of my wine and placing it down.
Quit sugarcoating her , she already fell.
Shut up.

He threw me on his shoulder in one swift move and began to walk inside the penthouse.
" Stop this! , Hey!! Leo ,Let me down! , Now-"
He smacked my butt.
" Babe!"I gasped as he walked on , laughing.
" We'll have to deal with this issue of you not looking at me"
"I'm checking out your butt from this angle , that's enough of looking Mister"I groaned when those came out from my mouth.
Caesar wouldn't stop laughing as he went up the stairs to our room.

"Look at you! , You're glowing , I mean it!!" Susie and Caroline squeaked girlishly. I couldn't help but shift in my leather seat , mortified.
"Oh stop girls , you're making her nervous"Mr James chuckled offering me a glass of cocktail.
"Brother is such a bore , I can't believe he had to go for a meeting the minute you two arrived. It's been what ? , 4hours already since he drove off"Caroline rolled her eyes.
"It was quite a short notice , but I understand him , trust me , it's fine"I sipped my cocktail.
Susie and James smiled at me on that note.
"It's good to know that Caesar has someone who gets how demanding his work is"Mr James
said.
" Ain't she the best"Caesar's voice sent a chill through me , something that I might have to get used to.
"Finally , The spouse returns "Caroline grimaced.
"Missed me?"
"I know I didn't"Caroline scrunched up her nose.
"I did"I giggled.
"Of course you did"Caroline scoffed earning a playful scowl from her parents.
"Thanks for your company , I really had fun, the barbeque was just wonderful"I chuckled , hugging Caesar's family.
"Hey , you had a barbeque party without me?"Caesar pouted .
"Your wife packed you some meat dear..she insisted we add you to the list"Susie announced cheerily , Caesar smiled at that.
"Come on you two , don't you want to stay for the night?"James inquired.
"No dad , unlike Caroline (She scowled at him) we really need to get home"Caesar grinned.
"Oh oh , yes , of course"James grinned back as if getting a message. I creased my eyebrows.
"What's with you two?"Susie came in , obviously curious as Caroline led the way out of the mansion.
"I'll tell you later darling , Caroline !"
"Yes dad!"Caroline turned back slightly.
"Did you drop the parcel in?"
"Yes!"She winked at me and playfully smacked Caesar on the chest.
"Alright then , take care son , daughter"Susie flashed us that elegant smile as we settled in Caesar's jeep.
I waved as Caesar drove out the big gates.
"What's with all the secrecy"I turned to Caesar.
" Hey , don't look at me , we're both in for a surprise baby"He winked.
Gees , could excitement killll

"Erm , baby?"
"Yeah?"
"Are we meeting someone before we head home?"
"Nope"
"Then we are off to?"
"Home"
"Caesar"I hit him , earning a chuckle , he's been tight-lipped throughout the ride into a different neighborhood.
" God Kay , I'm driving"He muffled a laugh when I hit his shoulder once more.
"I'm gonna jump out of this car if you—"
"We're here"He abruptly halted the car and I slightly jerked forward.
"And where exactly are we?"I mumbled , losing balance the moment I saw the lighted up mansion in front of me.

Damn.. that's the dream house...this is what I had in mind..

"This place is ..."I drifted off , my legs moving closer.
I turned back after a minute of getting lost in its beauty ,and met up with Caesar's gaze , he was leaning against the Jeep , a yellow box in hand.
"Please tell me ,...plea.."I stuttered , tears stinging my eyes.
"I love you , and I won't stop showing you how , whether in bed(I giggled , wiping a tear)or anywhere else. I know I already bought you a house , but that was a gift , .. now this , this is ours."He muttered to me , opening up my shivering hands and placing the box in it.
" Open it up love"He smirked , when I threw myself at him , he hugged me , pulling back after to wipe my face clean. I obliged , opening up the box and taking out a gold key.
"Go on.."He pushed me to the glass door , laughing as my hands shook , trying to open the door.

This isn't real..what? , This is our house?..this ..this castle? Kayla!

Tears gushed out when we finally stepped in.
"I was hoping for a different reaction honey , Hey , hey , sshh.."Caesar pulled me in.
"I love it..I promise"I pouted , shocked about my current leaking problem.
"Then why are you crying?"He smiled , dimples peeking out.
" I don't know !"I sniffed , snuggling his neck.
He held me close , moving my head back for a wild kiss.
" You're gonna kill me with happiness.."I mumbled incoherently , He bit my lip.
"How about a hot shower , we both need it ,I ordered those fraganced products you love so much"
"Yep , You're gonna kill me"I nodded , he barked a laugh , tugging me along as he climbed up the stairs.
