OBLIVIOUS REDEMPTION

CHAPTER 29: My Trophy Husband

~Love is the enchanted dawn of every heart~

****************************************

Ameerah:

Fashion is a language that creates itself in clothes to interpret reality. That's what inspired me to open up a boutique

As I always did on any really important day, I wore black, With pointy red heels.

I'm wearing all black, but expensive black. The kind of deep, soft black that you fall into. A simple long sleeve dress from Whistles, the highest of Jimmy Choos, and a pair of stunning uncut amethyst earrings.

Once I was done dressing up, I quickly headed to the dining area to have some breakfast before heading out. As I sat in the chair, Saleem's thoughts flooded my mind. I realized that he is my trophy husband, The superhero to my life's story. He is every reason, every hope and every dream I've ever had and I wonder what took him so long to come into my life.

Saleem seems to have become a part of my life and I'm disappointed if I don't see him. If I get to the end of the day without seeing someone who reminds me of him when I'm out, I feel as if a dull shadow has fallen over me.

I have to say, We have grown closer and more fond of each other during our vacation. We have this phenomenal honeymoon relationship that just keeps on going.

I and Saleem indulged in romance in a private pool at our honeymoon villa, and shared sweet moments over world-class meals at a luxury resort in the Hawaii

We spent some of the most romantic moments of our trip inside the private pool of the villa. We would often sit there with some drinks and sheesha and talk for hours!

The beautiful sea, warm sun and splendid cuisines were some of the things that we relished during our stay at the Hawaiian Resort & Spa.

The most exciting thing is we have Explored and tried out the underwater experiences of Hawaii and indulged in the natural beauty and serenity that this beautiful haven has to offer. And trust me, the experience was breathtaking.

I made sure saleem spent the last few days of his blind honeymoon relaxing with a stay at Termas Papallacta, a hot springs spa and resort up in the Andes. There, we soak in the thermal pools, take in the magical surroundings and refresh before settling into married life properly

I was enjoying my meal when I heard footsteps coming from the kitchen and turned to see my husband approaching. In that instant, I wanted to take some sort of emotional photograph so that I could sometime in the future when things are different, pull it out of my memory and look at it and say, "I've lived a happy life".

I froze for a moment, admiring how handsome he looks.

It's as if I've stepped off the edge of a cliff, and even though my heart's in my mouth and my stomach is in knots, I'm the most excited I've ever been in my life. I'm totally enthralled by him. I want him, every part of him, and I desperately want him to feel the same way about me.

Falling in love is like getting hit by a truck and yet not being mortally wounded. just sick to your stomach, high one minute, low the next. Starving hungry but unable to eat. hot, cold, full of hope and enthusiasm, with momentary depressions that wipe you out.

It is also not being able to remove the smile from your face, loving life with a mad passionate intensity, and feeling ten years younger.

I am not exactly sure when it happened, Or even when it started. All I know for sure is that right here and now, I am falling hard and I could only pray that Saleem is feeling the same way.

"You look... amazing" Saleem said, bringing me out of my trance

"And I have to say, I agree. I look... well, I've never looked better in my life. But of course, looks are only part of the package, aren't they?" I said

"What is the full package?" He asked, waiting for my reply expectantly

"You and I in the bedroom" I said with a wink, giving him the type of answer he was anticipating

On hearing that, The corners of his mouth crept up

"Well, that's what you'll always look like if you're living with me. I know how to take care of my woman" he said

"Ooooh, I see" I said teasingly and we both laughed

"I'm going to the boutique now, I'm expecting some very important clients" I told Saleem as I quickly picked up my purse and car keys heading towards the door.

"Not so fast" He said, stopping me right in my tracks.

He stalked closer, his solid body nearing mine, erasing the space between us as he threaded his hands into my hair and he wasn't gentle with his touch, and I thanked my lucky stars for that.

He suddenly pulled away and looked into my eyes

"Say yes or no, it's your choice" Saleem told me

"But say yes." He said again

"What will happen if I say yes?" I asked

"What you want, What you've probably always wanted and what you will always want" He answered, with a smile

"Yes" I said, With my eyes misted with a surprising vulnerability.

I felt his stubbled jaw rough against my face, he explored my lips and my mouth as he kissed me hard and furiously. Like I wanted to be kissed,

He spun me around, and walked me to the room and I lay on the bed. He lifted me up on the bed, then edged himself on top of me and my heart pounded wildly against my rib cage.

It was the wildness of it that got me going, the primal lust, the sheer needs of two people in heat, quickly finding ways to express their sacred hunger to each other in animal passion.

After a while, We lay peacefully in bed, with my head rested on his chest. His phone suddenly rang, disturbing our peace. but he  ignored it.

"What if it's an emergency?" I asked

He glanced at it, then quickly flipped it over and lay back in bed

"Who is it?" I asked

"No one" he answered

I quickly picked the phone up, and looked at the screen.

"Citou" is the name displayed on the screen

Out of curiosity, I quickly hit the answer button and said "Hello". The caller suddenly turned mute and hung up after a few seconds

"Who is "Citou" I asked

"She owns a publishing company, I wanted her to publish my novel, but I'm now having seconds thoughts, that's why I didn't pick her call. A friend introduced me to her" he said, looking so uneasy.

So it's a "She" I thought to myself

"Well, I better get going. We will continue this conversation when I return" I said, as I got out of bed

I left the house with my mind full of doubt, curiosity, anxiety and all the things a wife is suppose to feel when she is beginning to doubt her husband.

Sometimes not knowing the truth is the best thing that could ever happen to you, but they also say "Curiosity kills the cat". And that's how I decided to do some digging, I just couldn't let it go.

I made it my life's mission to find out who this "Citou" is, for I was certain that she ain't no publisher.
