Betrothed To My Sister's Husband

Chapter- [ 29 ]

[ Rain ]

The next day I wake up at my usual time but the scene I find myself in, makes me blush hard. Our naked body are still entangled together and his face is buried in my chest, his hot breath falling on my breasts.

I still can't believe what happened a few hours ago. I lost my virginity to my husband whom I love madly and blindly. I want to stare at his handsome sleeping face forever but the pressure in my bladder rebels against my stupid heart and it's fantasies.

I cautiously try to remove him but his grip tightens even more and a groan escapes from him. He didn't like the disturbance and I don't want to wake him up.

After a few more attempts, I finally manage to slip out of the bed and run to the bathroom to get freshen up before he wakes up. I don't know how am I going to face him. Whatever we did last night, happened in the heat of the passion but daylight brings reality.

Closing the door behind me, I stare at my reflection in the mirror. Red and blue marks cover all over my upper body and neck but there's a different glow on my face.

I quickly freshen up and change into my same clothes. A long warm shower will be the first thing I'd take once we reach at the villa.

By the time I walk out of the batheoom, he's already up and talking over the phone in the balcony. The creases on his forehead makes me wonder what spoils his mood this early. Deep down, my heart sinks.

What if he returns to his cold self again?

I decide to wait patiently until he finish talking. Two minutes later, he fishes his phone in his pants' pocket and turns to come back in the room. His eyes lands on me. Suddenly, I started feeling conscious under his intense stare.

"We can't go back to the villa." He speaks in a normal tone which relives me a little but there's still some uncertainty simmering in the back of my mind.

"Why?" I ask with a frown.

He sighs and walks further in the room. Sitting on one of the chairs, he runs his hand through his messy hairs. His hairs are so silly. I can run my fingers through them for my whole life.

"The road to the villa is blocked due to a heavy avalanche. It wouldn't open till evening. So, we have no choice but to stay here or go out for more sight seeing." He informs me," Of course, after buying new clothes for ourselves." He points his finger between us.

"Yeah but first let's eat something. I am hungry." I bit my lip to hide my blush. Our conversation are normal and it feels so weird.

Aren't couples suppose to talk romantically or cuddle after having a special night?

But we're not a normal couple.

"Are you okay?" He asks with worry lines visible on his forehead.

"Yes, I am good. You can use the bathroom while I order us some coffee." I response without meeting his gaze. I don't know if he's thinking the same or he forgot about it.

"Okay, I'll take only ten minutes max." He nods his head and closes the bathroom door silently.

Tears sting my eyes but I am strong enough to hide my slowly crumbling hope.

I order us coffee and open my phone to check for new messages or mails. A text pops up on my screen from Xavier. His name automatically brings a smile on my face. I quickly open his text and it widens my smile more.

"I'm sending you some pictures of available studios in the city. You can give them a look and decide whether you like them or we can hunt more suitable places." ~ Xavier.

I open my mail and see through the many pictures he sent me of the places he searched for setting up my studio. They all look great with suitable location like he knows my taste.

I reopen my text and type him;

"Received your message and saw the pictures. Thanks for the help, Xav but I am confused to pick any. Can we visit them in person once I return?"

His reply comes within a minute as if he's waiting for my respose.

"There's no need to thank me. I want to help you as a friend. And yeah, we can always go to check them. Btw, how's your trip going?"

His question makes me reevaluate my opinion on my bipolar husband.

I don't know what to tell him.

"It's great! Leaving for Greece tomorrow. Will talk to you later, getting late for breakfast." I quickly type and send the message.

No reply come from him afterwards except a thumbs up on my text.

Meanwhile, the bathroom door creaks open and Nicholas emerges out wiping his face. He always manages to look handsome. I can't take my eyes off his face.

"You can take a picture if you want. It will last forever." He smirks as he catches me red handed gawking at him.

I look away in embarrassment.

"I..I wasn't..checking you out." I stutter with my lame excuse and hear him laughing on my response.

"Yeah..yeah...you said and I bought your lie. Oh My God! Rain, you're so cute." He throw his head back while laughing. His carefree laughter is a rare scene and I am the reason behind his happiness.

It makes me happy too.

"Come, the coffee is getting cold." I say to divert the embarrassing moment.

He places the towel on the arm of the chair and moves in my direction.

"Well stop by the closest store for our clothes then we can go wherever you wish. You have only today's time, Rain." He says taking his cup while I choose to devour the bitter-sweet blend of coffee and cinemon.

"I don't have particular places in my mind. What do you suggest?" I raise my eyes above my cup.

"I'd rather want us to stay in this room and replay the night's event." His lips curves upward mischievously.

His words leaves me startle. He was bold but he's still thinking to continue with our little affair which is totally acceptable and legal as we're married but he broke all the wrong notions I cooked in the last ten minutes.

"I want to see the crystal caves and the art museum today." I quickly reply to avoid more awkward conversations.

"Really? I thought we would have a quick time before we leave." He smirks again and I want to wipe it off his face.

"I am still sore." I blurt out not realizing my own words.

His smirk drops immediately while I go speechless and red in shyness. God knows from here I learnt to be this outspoken.

"Why didn't you tell me before? I could had asked the hotel staff for some medicines." He says in a guilt stricken voice.

"No, I am fine, Nicholas. It just a little discomfort. Trust me, I am fine." I assure him but he doesn't look convinced.

"Rain, I can't advise you to walk throughout the day when you're not feeling good. Please, take at least a painkiller to help with the soreness and I am really sorry for being rough with you." He shakes his head as guilt overpower him.

I place my cup on the tray and takes his hands into mine,"Hey, you were not rough but gentle on me. I never imagined my first time like this, you fullfiled my wish last night. So, don't blame you for anything." I smile at him and pray that he wouldn't regret what I treasure the most.

For that single night, he was only mine.

He stares at me and suddenly embraces me in his warm chest. His unexpected move takes me off guard. What has been going inside his mind, is beyond my analysis.

I snuggle more into his chest to store this blissful moment. God knows if a storm may destroy my temporal happiness.

"Shall we leave now? I can't wear these clothes anymore." He makes face and it causes me to giggle on his hygiene freak habit.

"I can't hold my excitement to visit the crystal caves. They're like living into a fantasy world." I say coming out of his embrace.

"You can take more amazing pictures of those caves and relish the memories whenver you want, right?" He gets up and straighten the creases on his shirt.

"Greece is more beautiful?" I ask him out of curiosity as I've never been to most of the Europe.

"You can decide by yourself once we reach there, Rain." He replies while putting on his blazer and scarf.

"We're going to pay homage to your grandmother there, that's our main purpose." I say taking my purse and phone.

"Yes, and Nicole will be joining us there." He tells me, it wasn't something surprising. It was pre-planned that she will join us there as the siblings together visit their grandmother's grave every year.

"Hey, come here." He grabs my shoulders,"I know my sister isn't polite towards you and I can't promise you that she would behave nicely with you in Greece. Please bear her for me. I can assure you that she doesn't harbour any hard feelings towards you." He says pleadingly.

"You don't have to tell me, Nick. I know she isn't a bad person or she wants bad for me. Trust me, I won't take her words on my heart. In fact, I am excited to meet little Breece." I say.

A wide smile stretches over his lips and he pulls me for another hug.

"I can't wait to meet them either, we'll have a lot of fun there." He says and kisses my crown.

Wait?

Does he include me in 'us'?
