Sophie POV:-
"We're going for our honeymoon trip."
Upon hearing that, my heart filled with content, fluttering happiness built inside me. I never thought a day like this would come where I would be so happy that I couldn’t hold it inside me. Where I will go to my favourite place with my beloved husband. I couldn't control the bursting exhilaration. My face lit up in elation. I quickly hugged him and squeaked in glee.
"Thank you Christian!" I beamed. He hugged me back and said,
"Thank you." I grinned. I looked at the tickets, the tickets to Paris.
"I know you always wanted to go and see Paris." He smiled.
"Of course, you know!" I said in excitement. It feels surreal, I couldn’t believe all my dreams are becoming true. I feel blessed.
"I am so excited! It's gonna be so much fun!" I said as my eyes glimmered in blithe. He chuckled. I looked at the ticket again, it's next week.
"I can barely wait!" I just can't explain how happy I am feeling. It's like all the happiness and hopes are knocking on our doorstep and we are welcoming them with open hands. Like there's no halt to this happiness.
"Okay, okay, can we sleep now?" He laughed.
"I don't think I can sleep." I screech again. I looked at Christian, he was smiling at me. I kissed his cheek and smiled,
"Let's sleep."
1 Week Later:-
"Have you seen Paris before? Is Eiffel Tower really that big? Is Paris really as romantic as I have heard?" I am continuously asking Christian questions. Since I am too excited, I kept nagging him. He pinched my nose and smiled,
"Yes, I have. Yes, Eiffel Tower is big and I don't know about romance, I went there for business purposes." I made an 'o' face and opened my mouth to ask something again but closed it and grinned.
I clinged onto his arms with my smile not leaving my lips. I am feeling so blessed. My life was in such a mess and now, it's my paradise. I couldn’t thank much for having all the riches of heaven with me.
"You haven't travelled in a plane before, have you?" I looked at him and shook my head 'yes'.
"When I was kid... But I can barely remember it." I said.
"Right, when you came from Boston." He said holding his chin as I nodded. No need to ask, he knew. “Mentioning Boston… do you know why we came here?” I asked because I don’t remember it. I could barely remember Mother paying all her debts and for some reason she had a fight with those guys and we moved here. “No. Aunt didn’t tell me.” He replied after a brief pause. I shrugged.
"Nervous..?" He asked after a few moments.
"You are here with me. Why would I be?" I said staring deep into those pools of love.

We reached our hotel, our room was lavishing as it left me awestruck. So beautifully decorated, such an attraction. I turned to see Christian who was leaning on the door, arms closed at his chest, smiling at me. I smiled back,
"It's beautiful.." I breathe out.
"Not as you." he said. I shyly averted my gaze and turned around. I removed the curtain as sunlight greeted me through the window. A feeling of solace filled my being, the radiance was giving me deep satisfaction and to make it more everlasting Christian hugged me from behind, nuzzling in my neck.
"That smile is my salvation. Giving me such feelings of calmness that I love losing myself in it. “Never stop smiling.." He murmured and a pinkish shade appeared on my cheeks giving me elation. He turned me around and asked,
"You tired?"
"Of course not!" I beamed. He chuckled, "Right, why would you be?" I then timidly asked, "Are you?" He looked at me for a second and replied with a 'no'.
"I know you are. Let's rest and then go for sightseeing!" He didn't argue. I knew it, he was tired. We took a nap.
We walked around looking around. As we were looking, a pendant caught my eye, it was so beautiful, it's a heart shaped with an amber in it's centre. I stopped and looked at it in awe.
"Sophie?" Christian called me.
"Yes?" I shot my head to him.
"Do you need something?" I smiled and shook my head no. He sighed and held my shoulders,
"Look Sophie, You are my wife, what's mine is yours. You didn't accept my money in the first place but now, there is no need for you to stay reserved. If you want something, tell me, okay?" He assured me. I gave him an innocent look and nodded, I turned towards the pendant and spoke in a faint tone, "I want it."
He smiled and gave me a side hug, 'Good." he said.
He bought it for me. I smiled widely when he secured the pendant around my neck.
"Thank you.." I whispered. He kissed my cheek and said, "My everything is yours." His words always melt my heart.
Then we continued our walk, and we had our dinner in a random restaurant.
"Can you speak french?" I asked.
"No, why?"
"I thought you do." I said eating my food. He shrugged his shoulders and we ate our food in silence.
After spending the day out, I plopped myself on the bed. We bought a lot of things. We visit many places but not Eiffel Tower, we'll do it another day. I felt so tired. My feet are hurting, I can't walk anymore. I am laying on the bed with my arms stretched out while my lower body is hanging from bed. Christian walked out without a shirt just in his trouser and a towel around his neck, I have already taken a shower.
"Your wet hairs are drenching the covers" He said looking for a shirt to wear. I pout slightly and said something unexpected- for both of us,
"Your hot body is tempting me." I mentally cursed myself for saying this. Even he shocked upon hearing that, he turned to me and asked,
"What?"
"What? What?" I spoke as if I don't know what he is talking about.
"What did you say?"
"What? I didn't say anything." I said.
"No, you did."
"No, I didn't."
"You said-" I cut him off by yelling
"Ahh! I can't hear you!" I said putting my hands over my ears.
"I can't hear you!"
"I can't hear you!" I kept on shouting and when everything calmed down I turned to look at him. He was frowning and wearing his shirt. I giggled childishly as he sighed and walked towards me. He sat on the bed and said,
"You can compliment me."
"Huh? Of course, I'll compliment you whenever I want." I laughed off nervously still being oblivious. But then he smirked and began to tease me,
"I didn't know that my body was hot." My smile faded as I pouted slightly. He then laid beside me and said again,
"Perhaps, I should take off my shirt because my body is tempting." He teased again. I turned my head away from him and he moved close to my face and continued,
"Maybe the hotness is too much for my wife to bear."
"Or is it that tempting that she couldn't take off her eyes from me." I finally speak up,
"Okay! I get it. Yes, you are hot and very.." I scanned his toned and appealing chest from top to bottom and completed my sentence.
"tempting.."
