After I Do (Knight #2) (On Hold)

Chapter 19

Rebecca P.O.V 

Have I ever mentioned that I love morning time, waking up to the birds singing or the morning sun sneaking into your room through your windows? And nowadays morning times have become even better, waking up beside Marcus is just ... uh... I can't even explain it. 

Waking up and cuddling are goals. 

Things have been going great between us, and I'm happy. 

We were currently getting things together for our Paris business trip in a few days.   

That's actually one of the many things I love about my job, getting to travel the world, to meet new people, to learn new cultures and languages. And now I get to share that experience with someone near and dear to me. To create new memories that will last a lifetime. 

 Oh, I'm going soft. 

I went to get the mail, I wanted everything totally sorted.  I sat in the living area going through the mail when I spotted a mail without any address, my heart started to race and I was minutes away from a full-blown panic attack. Could this be... no, I refuse to believe it. 

I opened the mail and it was a picture of me at the charity event in the golden dress, the picture was smeared with a red substance. I took a  sniff of it and instantly the metallic smell made me want to vomit, it was blood. I flipped the picture and at the back of it there was a small note, ' RED LOOKS SO GOOD WITH THE COLOR, DOESN'T IT'. 

 I'm so shocked and scared. 

"Rebecca" at the sound of Marcus' voice I jumped up well after I stuffed the picture under the pillow. 

"Yes" my voice squeak

 "Are you okay?" he said walking over to me, he looked so concerned 

"Yes, I'm fine. Why would you think so " 

" You acting strange" 

"It's just because it's our first trip as a real couple and I'm nervous "  

"Okay," he said, I was surprised that he let it go so fast but I was so relieved. 

"I'm going to the office to clear up some things before we leave tonight," he said giving me a kiss on my head before he headed out. 

As he left, I broke down

We were currently on the plane, thirty minutes away from landing. I tried very hard to get the letter out of my mind and have a good time with Marcus.  But every time I try to forget, I can't even though I want to because I do but I can't. 

I have to keep up this act so Marcus doesn't worry, I know It's not a big thing, Dad got death threats but they always went away. 

The plane landed and we went to the hotel, then we freshened up and went for dinner. It was a nice and small pizza parlor and we had a very nice time. 

We went back to the hotel and went to bed in each other's arms. The next morning was pretty hectic, papers everywhere, clothes everywhere, as I said pretty hectic.

After a four hour meeting, then a lunch double date with an investor and then later in the evening a dinner meeting.  It was an exhausting day and all I wanted was a nice bath and relax. When we opened the door the lights were dim, candles and rose petals were everywhere. It was absolutely beautiful.

"What's this about" 

"I planned a little something for us" 

"Oh, you did" I giggled, his hands slip around my waist pulling me towards him before his lips capture mine. I instantly moaned I couldn't get enough of him. 

"Jump," he said and I did, he easily made his way to the bedroom. He threw me unto the bed and started to take off his shirt, I sat up to help him undress. 

He leaned down and whispered 

"Are you sure "

"Yes, I want you," I said sounding desperate, even though I didn't want to.

"Okay" and then we started to kiss again.
