Chapter 6: Six

We kept roaming the place, enjoying street food, and buying some stuff for an hour and decided to head back. Kyle told me he'll be back after some time so as usual without any questioning, I went back to the hotel room. I was staring out of the window, looking at the beautiful white snow falling so gracefully and tenderly. I reflected on my past when I used to be the most mischievous girl in school. It wasn't that I was bad in studies, I was just a mischievous bunny who likes to play and have fun. I remember my crime partner Nathaniel, who always had my back. And the way I had a crush on Christian who turned out to be dating a popular girl in our school. I would never forget the embarrassment jeez. The way Nathaniel would help me with my maths homework. He was indeed a good friend. And Agustus, well he seemed like he didn't care but would always help me out with situations that seemed impossible to cope with. I remember giggling and gossiping with Tori who was such a lovely girl and whom Nathaniel had a secret crush on. I didn't realize that I was smiling. I was finally smiling. The flashbacks making me euphoric. The sky had become dark and I was still lost completely forgetting my significant other who still hasn't returned yet. I then thought of Vante, that bubbly boy who made me coo over him just by a single act of kindness. What a sweet boy. I hope I see him again.

Kyle's P.O.V

I slowly turned the doorknob seeing her delicate figure standing at the window. No way! is that her? But she can't be here. Am I seeing things? My legs took me towards her as if some invisible force was pushing me causing me to move towards her. I stood behind her, her beautiful brown hair resting on her petite back. I was so overwhelmed. She looks just like her. I opened my mouth to say something...

"M-Maria?" I managed to say her name but was pushed to reality when I saw Serena's astonished face staring at me in confusion. "I-I'm sorry but my name is Serena." She faked a smile making me a bit embarrassed. How could I? I should move on. But then I can't bring myself to love this woman when Maria's the one who rules my heart. She would be so hurt hearing another woman's name from my mouth. How foolish of me. "She might be someone you were close to right?" She looked at me blankly trying to hide her suspicion. I just nodded and walked towards the bed. She remained standing there staring out in the darkness. I switched the lamp off and tried to sleep. My heart was beating fast. I couldn't help but cry. I miss her so much. Oh, Maria why did u leave me like this? You knew I won't be able to move on and get you out of my head. I even went to our favorite place once again just to remember and feel your presence with me. How am I supposed to love someone else if your aura stays with me all the time? I closed my eyes when I felt the bed dip slightly on the other side. I felt her ruffle herself in the sheets beside me. Her feminine scent making me so weak yet I can't give myself to her. That would be so wrong. I just tried to fall asleep and finally, slumber took over me.

Next day

Serena's P.O.V

Kyle hired a tour guide who was now showing us the museum. I wasn't that interested in history so I stood there, trying to look amused. When suddenly my eyes land on a pair of blue eyes. Vante? OMG! What was he doing here? I waved at him earning a stare from Kyle. "Who is he? Do you know him?" His voice was void of any noticeable emotion. "Yeah, sort of. Can I go meet him please?" I smiled at him to which he just stared at me blankly and nodded in approval. I quickly walked towards him earning a big boxy smile making my heart melt. Oh God! he's so beautiful. "Surprise!" He chirped. "Is it pure coincidence or you came here on purpose?" I said chuckling. "No Madam, just pure coincidence. I suppose you are not a fan of history are you?" I shrugged. "Nah. I just came here with my husband. What about you?" He looked at me and scratched the back of his neck. "Well, just touring and chilling." I was shocked. Was he a tourist too just like us? "Are you a tourist perhaps just like us?" He nodded with a smile. Gorgeous. I thought to myself. I heard Kyle's voice calling out my name. I turned around to see him waving at me. It was time to go. Ahh! I wanted to talk to Vante more. "Where can I meet you sir if I feel like talking to a friend?" He looked at me surprised by my words. "What makes you think I'm your friend?" I was suddenly feeling a bit embarrassed. Shit. We just met the second time and I'm already calling him a friend. "Because what you think is right! I would love to have your company, Mrs. Kyle. We can meet at the garden behind this museum." He smiled and we both waved goodbye to each other. I ran towards Kyle, who was standing there waiting for me. "Seems like you enjoyed talking to him. Was he your old friend or something?" Why was he being so interrogative? I never questioned him leaving me alone amid a crowd and then suddenly reappearing mind to tell me where he went. And the way he called me Maria last night. Who is she? I don't even know why I agreed to come on this honeymoon because it seems like I'm straying further away from him. I still have feelings for him but he won't let them progress further I guess. I sighed and just told him he was one of my classmates to which he nodded and we proceeded with our boring trip.

Later that night...

I heard his soft voice murmuring through the pillow. He was murmuring something about someone. I heard him say 'Maria, I miss you.' And to which he cried silently. His cheeks were stained with tears. What? How come he had a lover and I never noticed. It was clear from his cold behavior. But still, whenever he kissed me it sent shivers down me. Telling me I belong in his arms. Was it me being a delusional dumbhead or was it something else? I decided to let it go. Even if he had a lover, I'm his wife now and I have to win him so he would forget her. The sky was a bit white now indicating the breaking dawn. I quickly got up and went to take a shower. I decided to dress up nicely today. Just something I don't wear usually. I took out a white floral off-the-shoulder, full-sleeved velvet frock which had beautiful red flowers embroidered on it with a pair of thick jeans and boots. I took out my lovely white fur coat. I tied my hair in a high ponytail and did a bit of makeup to refresh my look. I turned around to see him sitting on the bed rubbing his eyes. He looked at me and his eyes widened. Wait... Is that utter shock or appreciation? We stared at each other trying to contemplate the situation. He quickly shook his head and headed towards the bathroom. This might take some time. I sighed and continued applying mascara.
