Second Chance (Watty Awards 2013) Completed

Second Chance - Chapter 31

The loud buzzing sound of the phone was reverberating away; I tried to open my heavy laden eyelids, and fumbled around my side table, trying to feel my way around the receiver of the phone to put an end to the noise. I managed to pick it up and answered the phone with my half awaken voice. Hey Wilfred, are you alright? You don’t sound so good? Yeah, guess I had a drink too much last night was my excuse. I have great news for you to put you up on your feet within seconds upon hearing it. Prince or rather King Dylan has decided to offer you the position as a butler in his castle. Whoa, that’s excellent news, indeed Caleb was right. I was up on my feet when I heard this piece of news. Hey Caleb thanks for recommending me and when can I start work? You can start work in five days’ time as that will be the time when both my sister and my brother in law will be back from their honeymoon.  Great see you then.

Images of Ciara came flooding in my head, I felt a notch of jealousy lingering in my stomach as I pondered over what Caleb had just told me, “honeymoon.” I groaned at that, and constantly reminded myself that Ciara is a married woman and a definite no to be in love with her, that could only spell trouble, unless I want to pitch up a fight with the King.

All these thoughts about Ciara have taken my attention causing me to momentarily forget about the throbbing pain in my head and stinging pain in my body. All of a sudden, I could ascertain that I heard a whimsical women’s voice calling out to me, but I scanned the room with my peripheral vision and found no one in sight. The voice continued to call me. Hi Wilfredddd, you are no longer a normal vampire, go and take a look at yourself in the mirror. I was astonished and snorted, who are you? Why are you speaking to me in my head? I am Vivian, the legendary seer and I live in your head. What? Vivian is dead? I am dead in my physical body but I live on in your head as you have drank the magic potion that is concocted with my blood , my power is in you and I could control you from your mind, so you better start obeying my instructions. What this is insane? I do not believe you. Sure, Vivian started to control his mind and caused the throbbing pain to become like knife constantly plunging into his brain. He yelled stopppp! I will make all these pains go away, provided you listen to me from now on. I can give you both power and fame if you cooperate. I walked to my bathroom and noticed that my pupils and iris have changed colour to a bright orange, just remember now that your pupils and iris will transform into orange instead of black when you are angry. I sighed in defeat.

Hey Honey! You still haven’t told me where will we be going for our honeymoon? I have packed all my stuffs and am ready but I want to know the destination. You mentioned that it is the most romantic place on earth, but when I mentioned all the destinations, you said that they were all incorrect.

Darling, I am taking you to The Love’s Island, and where on earth is that place, Dylan? We are going to Tahiti, Ciara. Tahiti? Yeah an island in the South Pacific.  I promise that it won’t disappoint you, once you are there, you won’t want to go home.

The flight to Tahiti was long but endearing, thanks to the thoughtfulness of Dylan. He had chartered the whole plane, hence we have the entire place to ourselves. It took an almost twelve hours to reach Tahiti, and when we arrived at the airport, there was a limousine waiting for our arrival with a chauffeur holding a placard with our names. We are staying at the Royal over Water Villa in St Regis Resort and Spa. The view from our villa was picturesque and totally unobstructed. The crystal clear water was turquoise in colour that blends in with the iridescent shades of blue, aqua and green of the tall mountains, the sky was a clear blue sky, the beaches were coated with beautiful fine white sand and the scenery was spectacular. It offers the soul a peaceful, tranquil and serene beauty that makes that entire experience magical and enchanting. Tahiti was like an undiscovered, remote beauty of an enchantress.

The serenity and beauty of the place took my breath away, as I gasped in awe and attempt to hide the shock from my face by covering my ajar mouth with my hands.  I love this place, exclaimed Ciara. Thank you, Dylan. This is the best place for a honeymoon. Our villa is strategically built around its own private pool on the edge of the lagoon and it offers the best unobstructed view of the Bora Bora Island and the lagoon. Apart from the view, the villa also offers creature comfort such as a private pool, private gazebo and private terrace.

We started our day by taking a stroll down the white, comfy and soft beaches with the cool wind blowing and caressing against our skin.  After spending some time enjoying the sea, sun and the breeze that the beach could offer, we decided to go for some adventurous endeavours. We went for the 4-wheel drive to explore the mountain safari. The ride was rough as it drove over the unsmoothed terrain, uncovering the beauty of Mother Nature as the splashing sounds of plunging water could be heard from the waterfalls, nature’s very own splash pool.  The true beauty of the mountains could only be discovered from the trails of this ride, from the inside the mountain was a habitat to glow worms. They are like millions of tiny glowing beads stuck to the concave of the mountain.

After the ride, they decided to go for sky gliding where they got to explore the panoramic view of the island from the top.

After two adrenalin pumping and adventurous activities, they headed down to the spa to get themselves pampered in the hot Jacuzzi tub overlooking the island.

The next few days of their honeymoon were spent kayaking, snorkeling, swimming in their own private pool and fine dining in the comfort and luxury of their villa.

Dylan, I can’t imagined that we have reached the last night of our honeymoon, cried Ciara. I really wish that we had more time here. Dylan raised his eyebrow and shrugged his shoulders, darling, I thought you didn’t think much of Tahiti initially, why are you now lamenting that we have to go home tomorrow. Oh honey, this place is beyond my wildest imagination and expectations, I love being here with you. Darling, you know that my father has just conferred the title of king to me and there are multitudes of responsibilities waiting for me when I get home. I promised that I will bring you here again next year. Alright, guess this is the best deal I can have for a king as a husband, pouted Ciara.

Darling, let’s not waste the last night of our honeymoon together by arguing over trivial matters, shall we, eyed Dylan with a mischievous grin on his lips and an evil grin in his eyes. His lustful eyes were roaming all over Ciara’s body. Dylan, squealed Ciara, what exactly do you have in mind then? Before Ciara could finish asking Dylan her question, Dylan lunged at Ciara , grabbing her slender waist with his strong arms , pushing her down onto the bed with no way of escape. Dylan started to roam his fingers around Ciara’s arms and thighs, causing her to groan in pleasure. His lips found hers and took in hungrily as his tongue wrestle with hers for dominance as his fingers continues to make circles in her inner thighs. Ciara felt electricity surging through every fibre of her being, with every cell of hers screaming out to Dylan, craving and yearning for his attention and touch. She was like a siren on fire with passion. The fire has consumed her whole being and could only be satisfied when they both engaged in another round of steamy and sensuous throng of passion.
