Contract Marriage

Chapter Two: Honeymoon and Vacation

"Table for two, please." Tio said to the greeter.

"This way, Sir." He lead them to the available table. To their luck, the view is to an overlooking sea.

"Your waiter will be with you shortly." The greeter said as he leaves their table.

Vita turns her head to look at the view. She doesn't want to look at him in the moment. She already breaks some of the rules, she doesn't want to add another problem with him.

"Good evening." The waiter greeted them as he handed them the menus.

"Did you all just have a male population here?" Tio looked straight to him and ask him with a harsh voice.

"I'm sorry, sir. Would you like a waitress instead?" The waiter offers nicely.

"Yes!" Tio snapped at him even though the waiter didn’t do anything wrong.

"Certainly, Sir." He bowed his head down before leaving their table.

Hearing the harsh voice came out from Tio, Vita turned her head to him. But when she look at him, he is looking at the menu with a hard face. She couldn't read him. She shouldn’t have done that either. It’s one of the rules to never questioned Tio. But that only make her wonder and want to know about him even more. His hard and secretive demeanor makes her questioning it.

"What do you want to eat?" Tio look up and saw that Vita is already looking at him.

"I'll take the Alfredo Pasta." Tio nodded his head.

As the waitress come, Tio orders the food for them. Vita play with her fingers as she waited for the food to be served.

The table was silent until the food come. Nor Vita or Tio try to make a conversation. Clearly Vita doesn’t want to bother him, it’s crystal clear. They eat dinner in silent, It’s just the way how to have the real dinner. No one talk and finished their meal.

Tio glanced at Vita and see her eating her food peacefully. He didn't know why he acted like that towards her. All he felt was rage. He couldn't help it when he saw her talking to a guy.

After the dinner, they come back to their room. The both of them go straight to the bedroom, but Vita go to freshen up.

While Vita is in the bathroom, Tio is pulling out his laptop to do some work. He can hear the shower running from the bathroom. He lost counted for how many times he fantasies himself walking in to the bathroom to see her naked body under the running shower.

He felt himself getting hard by fantasizing himself touching her, all over her body.

His thought get interrupted by a ringing of his phone. He grabbed his phone from the table and look at who’s calling him. Not good, he thought in his head.

"Fuck." He cursed under his breath.

In the shower, Vita is trying to relax. The job as an editor is taking her mind too much and her time away from her family. Maybe this is what she deserved for obsessing over her job than her family and friends. She’s not sure if she still have any.

In this honeymoon or she like to call it as a little vacation. She hoped that she could get back to work in a fresh mind.

She wrapped a towel around her body, then was about to walk out when she heard him shouting.

"I f*****g told you not to call me again. Don't you get it what I said last time?! I didn't want to f*****g see you." Her heart felt like someone squeezing it so hard, making her hard to breathe. He is talking to a woman.

She can't be just standing behind the closed door every time he get a phone calls. She never was in her marriage with him in it, hearing him talking to the phone like that to whoever it is. Let alone a normal phone call. She don’t want to admit she didn’t feel anything, but the pain is there for her to ignore them.

She twisted the door open and walk in to the room. She go straight to the loaded suitcase, not minding him. She have not unpack the suitcase, but she will after she get changed.

She carry the clothes in her hand and walk back to the bathroom. Putting all the clothes on, she hang the towel on the hanger behind the door. Then she walk up to the sink which have a mirror hanging to do her night routine.

After doing her night routine, she walk back in to the bedroom and see Tio still in the same position. Deciding not to bother him, she grabbed her sling bag from the nightstand silently. Hoping he wouldn’t notice her, but who is she fooling?

"Where are you going?" His voice stopped her midway.

She hold on to her bag string and turning around to face him. He is already looking at her deadly in the eyes.

"I'm going out." She answer straightforwardly.

"Out? Did I give you the permission?" He raised his voice but keep his face emotionless. "Did I f*****g agree for you to go out?"

"No." She answer shortly. But she stood her ground, but it didn’t last long.

"Then put that bag down and get in bed." He commanded.

His hard gaze is telling her not to crossed him. She mentally sighed and walk back to put her bag on the nightstand.

Because she is going to bed. There is no way she wear her go-out clothes to bed, seem so not going to happen. So she grabbed a nighty and change into them.

Tio changed to his boxer and a plain t-shirt. He could just wear a boxer, but he won't be sleeping alone through out the vacation. He is thinking about her too, he doesn't want her to feel uncomfortable. This is going to be a long week for him.

Tio is already in bed, waiting for her to come out. He doesn't want her to slipped out under his gaze again. He sounded so possessive. But he acted like a jerk.

Waiting for her, he closed his eyes. Tired is an understatement. Even in this vacation, all he did was working. Because he doesn't have anything to do better than working. He’s better at that.

He can hear the door being opened, but he keep his eyes closed. Not long after that, the bed dipped beside him. Now he knows she is in bed. He could peacefully sleep knowing she is in bed with him.
