After spending that blissful moment. Vaughn left for some work. I went inside the closet and changed into a loose black sleeveless top and shorts.

I stepped outside the closet and saw Vaughn. He was typing on his phone. As he noticed me , he put it down. I could feel his gaze on my naked legs for a moment but he quickly avert it.

"So where is my room?" I asked.

"Actually, there is only one bedroom. Mostly I spend my time alone here so we have to share." He said casually.

"What?!", I asked.

My eyes widen, Me and Vaughn sleeping together. Already he has so much affect on me. Sharing a room will be too much.

"Is there any problem, Miss Lawrence?" , he said with mischievous glint in his eyes.

"Yes, I -I mean no", I said quickly.

Vaughn slowly approaches me with mischief in his eyes. I gulped and slowly took steps back. Until I was trapped between him and the wall.

"Then why are you stuttering, Miss Lawrence ?", he said teasingly, our faces inches away.

I wanted to reply but my words got stuck in my throat. It happens whenever I am near him.

He slowly leans down as my breath got hitch. His hot minty breath fanning over my face. His oceanic blue eyes bore into my emerald ones. I could feel my knees go weak.

'Kiss, kiss', my conscience chanted.

I closed my eyes in reflex.

"What are you thinking, Miss Lawrence?", he spoke in his velvety voice, somehow it cause my heart to flutter. I honestly didn't liked this feeling.

His long elegant cold finger traced on my warm tender skin from my forehead ,down to my collarbone and furtherdown to my arm. The touch was slight rough yet smooth and elegant. It wasn't right, it wasn't right that I enjoyed his touch.

I know he is teasing yet I am enjoying his touch. This is wrong.

I opened my eyes and met his. The desire to kiss him has increased. I bit my lower lips as my heartbeat increased.

I see his eyes move to my lips then back to my eyes. What is he waiting for. I sounded so desperate. Gosh what is he doing to me.

He slowly leans down as I closed my eyes and he whispers in my ears as his lips brushes the sides of cheeks causing goosebumps to me.

"You don't tempt me, Miss Lawrence",he said in his low deep voice and immediately my eyes opened and I frowned. He took the pillows and went towards the couch and laid on it.

Leaving me there, I felt rejected. Am I not attractive? I can't let him show my hurt so I put on a plain face eventhough his words kept on ringing in my mind. I went towards the bed and laid down trying to calm myself.

Just when I thought everything is falling on the right place. With this thought I fall under a deep slumber.

The next day, I woke up as the sunlight falls on my face,I groaned. I sat up and blinked my eyes to get a clear vision.

Suddenly!

I heard the washroom door opened and I saw a fascinating sight. My jaw dropped and eyes widen as Vaughn stepped out that also only in a towel which was hung on his torso. He recently has took a shower as the droplets of water fell down from his wet hair down to his abs. A gasp leaves my mouth.

He looks dangerously handsome.

He turned towards me and smirked.

"Enjoying the view, Miss Lawrence", he said with mischief.

I quickly averted my eyes. My cheeks flushed .

Why I always embarrass myself.

He then went inside the closet. I quickly went inside the washroom so that I could not further embarrass myself.

I took a warm refreshing bath. And changed into a green maxi dress as the weather was hot.

I stepped outside and saw that Vaughn has changed into his formal business attire.

He noticed me and came towards me.

"I am going to a business meeting", he said casually.

I looked at him with confusion.

"Are we not on our honeymoon?", I asked.

He looked at me,"You really thought that I will come here for a honeymoon. And spend time that also with you", he scoffed. And my face fell.

"Oh so you really thought," He said in an irritated tone.

"Look this trip is nothing but a business trip for me and a holiday for you, nothing more. There can never ever be something between us. Never. Am I clear?", he said harshly. His words hurted, I thought he will give this relationship a chance but, no. Why my fate is not on my side?

"Am I clear?", he asked again a little louder. To which I reluctantly nodded. He then grabbed his coat and was about to go. But stopped and spoke again -"You can do whatever you want but don't disturb me", with that he slammed the door and left. Leaving me alone.

He likes to hurt my feeling and crush my hopes. I can feel the hurt but I am not going to waste anymore tears on him. I am fed up of his mood swings.

Right now I am walking on the side of the shore. The cold waves are crashing on my naked feets. I am wearing my sun hat to protect myself from harsh rays. My auburn hairs are blowing with the wind.

I wish Vaughn would be here with me.

I can see the other couples. Walking hand in hand, spending there time together and here I am spending my honeymoon without my honey who is unfortunately my so called rude husband.

I left the private side of the island and came this side as I was feeling bored and lonely there.

"Excuse me!", I heard a male voice from behind. I quickly turned and saw a guy around my age, calling me. He has blonde hairs and brown eyes and was wearing a black shirt and khaki shorts. Giving him a nice look.

"Umm- hey can you -umm take a picture of me?", he asked hesitantly. I didn't reply so he quickly spoke again.

"Actually I came here alone to spend some time. But mostly here are couples then I saw you alone and........can you take a picture of me. If you don't mind?" He said shyly.

I smiled and took the camera from his hand,"Sure", I replied and clicked some pictures of him.

"Hey why don't we take a selfie together?", he asked and I thought for a while.

"Oh come on its just a picture!" He said with puppy eyes. I sighed and nodded. We then took some selfies.

"By the way I forgot to introduce myself, Hi I am Jeremy Carter. " He said with a smile and extended his hand.

"Nice to meet you Jeremy. I am Aveliene Law- Rodriguez. " I said.

"Nice to meet you, Aveliene. By the way do you came here alone?", he asked.

Should I tell him?

"No, I came here with my husband. But he is busy with some work so I am here by myself right now." I said with a small smile while hiding my sadness. To which he nodded.

"Will you not mind if I gave you my company. Actually I came here with my little sister but she is at the hotel so here I am alone. And I am also feeling bored so......will you join me?Please." He said with puppy eyes.

Should I say yes what if Vaughn didn't like me talking with strangers.

Wait! If he can leave me alone and can be selfish then why can't I.

"Sure, it will be fun ", I replied and instantly his face brighten up.

We talked about the general things. He told me that he is 21 years old although he looks younger. His sister is 20 years old and he came here for a break. I told him about my self. He also told me that he is studying architecture and wanted to become a landscape architect to which my face brighten up and I told him about my passion for architecture.

Although it was just a past dream now. As now I am married. But I didn't told this to Jeremy.

Vaughn just like my dad, did not like if I work or job. When I asked him, he said that I did not have to work and whatever I want to buy I can buy and he gave me his black card. How could I explain him that it's not about money it's about my passion. Typical arrogant billionaire.

Anyway, Jeremy and I talked so much. I myself was surprised that he is so open and fun loving and I told him about myself eventhough we met just few hours ago, but his carefree nature makes me comfortable. And for a while I was distracted from Vaughn.

It was now nearly evening so, I decided to return back. Jeremy insisted to escort me so he joined me.

"You have a nice beach house. I am sure your husband loves you alot" he said while admiring the house. To which I just smiled. Only if he knew.

"By the way, I really had a wonderful day, Aveliene, I hope we will see each other tomorrow. " He said with a hopeful smile.

"Sure, I also enjoyed alot, I'll see you tomorrow." I said with a smile. He then took his leave and left. I then went inside.

Vaughn was still not there. So I went to my room and sat on the chair in the balcony ,watching the twilight sky and seawaves.

Instantly my phone beeped. It was a text message from Vaughn.

"Be ready we are going to have dinner out."

I replied with an 'okay'. Then came inside my closet. I decided to wear a dark jeans and and a cream coloured full sleeves designer top, as it was cold now. The weather here varies with day and night.

I straightened my hairs and put a mascara and lip gloss. I heard the door knock so I went and opened it and was greeted by Vaughn.

"Ready?" He asked while looking at me.

I nodded and took my purse.

We then went outside as he opened the car door for me.

I sat inside as he took the driver seat.

We drove in complete silence.

The car came to stop as I stepped outside.

The restaurant was giving a tropical look suiting the destination.

We entered and I saw lots of people there. Everything from the decoration to the food was giving a exotic look.

I glanced around and noticed every seat was filled.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man came to greet us. I think he is the manager.

"Welcome, Mr and Mrs Rodriguez, I will escort you to your reserved seat." He said politely, we followed him upstairs as he escorted us to the roof top.

I think it is the area for the VIPs.

We entered and I glanced around. The place was decorated with tropical flowers, the colorful lamps hung around the space giving the sky a magical look. The atmosphere was justifying the exotic Fijian theme.

My eyes roamed around and stopped at the elegantly decorated table with two seats set at the center with candles on. And was shaded with a giant umbrella and it was facing the magnificent sea, which was shining beautifully under the moonlight.

Everything gives a serene and........romantic look?

We took our seats.

The manager then gave us the menu and left . Leaving me alone with Vaughn who was sitting opposite to me. His oceanic eyes were already looking at me.

Then realization hit me. I and Vaughn are alone here having a candle light dinner. Is it a date?

"If you want we can take it as our first date." Vaughn's voice breaks me from my trance. I can see a playful smirk tugged at his lips. Since we have came here he is in a nice mood. I like this playfulside of him more than his rude one. This place is really special.

"Did I again said that loud?", I asked shyly. I knew my cheeks are pink now.

"You really act like a little girl,Miss Lawrence ", he said with a chuckle. And it is really a gentle voice that melted my heart. But then his words from before rang in my mind and I frown.

'You don't tempt me'

Did he not like me in that way because he thinks I act like a little girl . Does he not found me more attractive than the models he dated before?

"What you want to have?" Vaughn's voice again broke me from my thoughts as I looked at the menu.

Every dish was new to me. It was even difficult for me to pronounce some of their names. I looked at him for help. To which he gave me a gentle smile. I could see those cute dimples.

"Let me guess you haven't eaten Fijian food before?", he asked to which I shook my head.

"Then I think I should order something for you " He said and I nodded.

Suddenly, a waitress came to take our orders. Her dress's hem was so high as if she deliberately wants to show her skin.

"What will you have sir?" She blinked her eyes at Vaughn in a sluttery manner. I feel my fist clenched.

Can't she see that I am sitting right here?

"We will have Palusami, with Nama salad and also....the famous Special Fijian curry." He said this with a smile while looking at me for a moment then back at the waitress, who still was drooling at him.

"What about the drinks and dessert?" She asked while bending a little to show her cleavage. Gross.

Vaughn looked at the menu and spoke,"We will have the normal cocktail and Cassava cake ", he said without sparing her a glance, to which I was glad. The waitress frowned but noted our order and went away. You deserved it.

Wait! Did I just felt jealous? No way.

"Yes you did sweetheart ", my conscience spoke.

I shook my head and looked at the calming sea. As a soft music played in the back ground.
