Ashley
He looked at me quite shocked. “Really, Ashy?”
“Yeah… I guess”
“That is such a cute line but ah, you can change ‘kidnapped’ to something better maybe…”
“But why, Vincent? It marks the starting of our love story and I don’t wanna change cause people will think it is wrong. I wanna keep it as it is cause we both know what good it brought to us”
He smiled. “You are really sweet”
“Oh, thanks!”
“Alright… What do you wanna do now? There is still so much time”
“Ah well, I have nothing to do actually. I am just sitting idle”
“Then let’s go somewhere”
“Aren’t we going to Paris?”
“Yes”
“Oh, still you are gonna take me somewhere else?”
“Yes!”
I sighed. “I would love to go, Vincent but it is gonna be tiresome traveling so much in a day…”
“Oh that is also a point… alright, we will just have fun staying here”
“Fun? Like?”
“Like…” he came to me and opened my hair. “I love your hair”
“Oh I know”
“I love you”
“I love you too”
He smirked and kissed me. I kissed him back with equal passion and we fell on the couch like the morning. He got away. “Ah, I want a new experience, get up”
I looked at him with skeptical eyes and got up. He smirked and suddenly picked me up in his arms.
“VinCENT!” I yelled.
“Ah I know my name, and it also sounds really good when you say it, but I’ll like you to be quiet for a moment”
I looked at him almost wide-eyed and he just chuckled and carried me upstairs.
“Oh, you must be really tired after climbing two stairs. I am so heavy!” I exclaimed.
“You don’t know me,” he smirked.
I sighed. “Yeah true”
He laughed. “look at my Ashy. She is so innocent and cute”
“I know”
He smiled and then we reached our room.
“Open the door”
“Ah, no”
“What no, Ashy?” he looked at me.
“No means no” I smirked.
“So you wanna stay in my arms forever? Oh, it is so romantic--” I opened the door before he could say anything else. Huh, he is such a… a… blackmailer.
“Good girl” he laughed and I sighed. He carried me to the bed and put me down. Then he went and closed the door.
“I don’t think I wanna sleep right now” I acted innocent.
“Oh really, don’t sleep then. I can keep you up!”
I looked at him with shock and soon sighed heavily. “Oh Vincent”
“Hm?”
“I am so excited!!”
“Oh are you, Ashy? I have to say, you are bold!”
“Huh? What--- hey! I meant for the trip!!”
“We weren’t even talking about it!”
“But I am thinking about it constantly! I can’t believe I am finally gonna see France!”
He smiled and sat beside me. “Oh you are so easy to please”
“Ah… I just like everything you do now…”
He nodded. “That is an achievement!”
I smiled at him. “Oh you are easy to please too”
“Only for you”
I smiled wider. “Are you flirting?”
“With my wife?”
“Yup”
“Maybe”
I laughed. “Oh, Vincent!”
“You look beautiful when you laugh”
“Oh, you should stop flirting now. I think it is enough!”
“Well… okay beautiful”
I sighed. “Huh… thanks!”
He smiled. “Hm. So now what?”
“I thought you were gonna tell me! You brought us up”
“Oh yeah… I just wanted to spend time with you”
“Alright… let’s talk”
He nodded.
We talked for some time and then we checked our packed stuff once again. It was fine though.
“You didn’t miss anything. That is really sincere of you, Mrs. Smith”
I blushed at the address. “Oh thanks, Mr. Smith”
He smiled. “Oh you are so cute”
“Okay, don’t start again”
He laughed and then we took our bags. “Okay, we should get going. The airport is somewhat far away”
I nodded and we both went down and took a cab to the airport.
During the ride, everyone was silent but there was this comfort I felt. I don’t know what is happening anymore. I miss Lara but I don’t think I wanna use her as an excuse to stay away from Vincent. I really think that he is a good guy. Maybe he kidnapped me… took me away from my sister… but he is treating me so nicely. Even if I do anything wrong, he treats me right. He started our love relationship first. He forgives me every time I am wrong, even if he has a bad temper and mostly gets angered at the moment. He may be the scary mafia boss for everyone, but for me, he is a cute caring husband.
“Ah, where are you lost?”
I came out of my thoughts and looked at him. “Huh?”
“I asked, where are you lost?”
“N-Nowhere”
I was lost in his thoughts like I am frequently nowadays. I always feared him. Everyone did and still does. But I don’t anymore… I know who he is in reality. He is just a loner who needs love. He is a really caring, lovely husband behind the coldness he shows being the Mafia boss and I know it all now.
And honestly, I love what I know.
