Chapter 18

Neil

This beautiful lady sleeping hugging me is not as sweet as she seems, because she's literally trying her best to choke me and kill me, but still, I'm happy with our closeness.

Hope one day Kiara also develops at least 1% of the emotions I feel and asks me to sabotage the contract. I promise the day Kiara says that she is willing to give this marriage even a little chance though without love, still I wouldn't even ask her a single question and immediately cancel our contract.

Her just one move.

I was so lost in my thoughts when I felt happiness go a little away from me, opening my eyes, I immediately got to know the reason for it.

Kiara woke up a little and the first thing she did was turn to the other side and again sleep.

As I said, a heavy sleeper!

But I had to break her beauty sleep and wake her up because it was already 12 in the afternoon

Yes! we've been sleeping so long, even though I woke up at least 2 hours ago, I just didn't get the urge to get up from the bed that too doing the hard work to get out of Kiara's Choking hold.

And since I trust you guys, let me tell you the truth, it's because I didn't want to miss even a single moment of our closeness...

But now that quota is filled for today and I need to wake her up quickly, otherwise, we would be late for seeing the Eiffel tower and as much as I know her till date, she's gonna blame it on me, so people let's do the hardest thing in the world which I know how to make simple and that is,

Waking her up

"Kiara... Wake Up!" as you all know just calling out her name doesn't work so I did what I had discovered I shook her a little and she immediately woke up

This really works !

"What's your problem? Can't you see an innocent human sleeping?" I heard her yell at me like I'd woken her up at 5 in the morning.

"Oh innocent human, it's already 12 pm, don't you have to go sightseeing?" I questioned.

"Oh shit shit shit... couldn't you  have woken me early, now see because of you we'll get late." she said while literally jumping off the bed and entering the bathroom .

Told you all!

Kiara

This hotel's mattresses are really good, I'm gonna ask them the brand they are from so I can order them in India.

They are so comfortable, like seriously you lie on them and you'll sleep.

Kia, for once, at least once think about something other than sleeping!

Oh right, I should quickly get ready, I'm already late according to the plan I made, and I've even missed my breakfast.

This Man, normally he wakes me up every day early, like every day, Kiara wakeup! Kiara don't you have to reach the office? Wake Up soon! And today when I had to wake up early he decided to not wake me up, reason?

Still unknown !

Leaving the topic, I quickly freshened up, took a bath, and dressed up in what I felt was the perfect combination.

"Neil, come on, I'm ready, let's go!" I said in a cheerful voice as we had to go for lunch first .

"Yes, just wait 10 more minutes, I'll get ready and then we'll go." He said getting up and entering the bathroom leaving me irritated to no extent.

"What? You're still not ready, and you were waking me up, you should've been ready before waking me, it'll really save time."

"Oh sure your highness, any other order?" He asked with a sarcastic tone.

"Yes, go and get ready fast, the queen is hungry and wants to have lunch as soon as possible." I said and he looked at me shocked before shaking his head in amusement and leaving towards the bathroom

I've been sitting for the last two minutes and he's still not here, I know that it's really a very little duration to expect him, but I'm already getting bored.

I, then suddenly realized that Mom had asked me for the pictures and it was the best time to click and send,

As soon as that thought came to my mind I quickly opened the camera and took selfies at every point in the room giving her a brief idea about how the room was.

Soon after that, Neil came out of the bathroom in a really cool casual attire

"It feels good you know." I said all of a sudden.

"Sorry.. what?" Neil asked due to my out-of-context sentence.

"This...you wearing something casual, I don't know when I'll be again able to see you like this so come on let's take a selfie!"   I said in excitement to which he nodded in response and we both quickly gave a pose for the selfie, and clicked a nice one and sent it to Prisha.

"You remember our first selfie together?" Neil asked me and it took me back in time.

"Yes, that was the reason how it started, me showing your photo to Sid and Prisha, and realizing the blunder that made us sign a contract." I said and he nodded and we both sat on the bed, silently, remembering all the things that lead to bringing us here, in Paris on our honeymoon.

I was still on the thoughts of my marriage day, when my phone beeped showing Prisha's message, snapping me out of my thoughts .

My nephew/Neice is on its way, I'm excited!

What the hell? What's she talking about?

Thinking this I looked at the photo of ours, which I sent to Prisha, only to see nail marks on Neil's shoulder,

"Kiara, what happened, why are you sitting so shocked?" Neil asked me and I showed him the photos but I don't think he really understood what it was.

So I just went towards him and slid his t-shirt a little touching the nail marks and he hissed a little.

"How did you get these? Don't tell me you have an affair in Paris!" I kind of yelled at him.

"What? No...these are not proof of my affair, just proof that in your last birth, you wear definitely a cat, and that too a witch's cat. I helped you, carried you to the bed, tucked you to sleep, and see what you did, choked me and scratched me like I'm some Villian" He said and I looked at him in shock.

"How mean! How dare you call me a cat and that too a witch's cat, I accept that maybe I thought of you as a teddy bear it doesn't mean you accuse me of harassing you." I said being offended a little.

"Even after knowing the whole thing, still, you're giving justifications, what would happen if you just say a sorry and end it?" He questioned.

"Nothing, and anyways I was gonna say sorry, but not so early, you know because apologizing so early, reduces the fun." I said and heard him chuckle.

"Such a kid!" He murmured.

"Oh Mister, don't forget you chose to live with this kid and you have to continue living till 6 months more." I said, giving him a reality check.

"I know."

"Anyways, you tell me what should I reply to Prisha, even though only light scratches are visible in the photo, still this girl found it and I'm sure she's gonna make a huge issue out of it, she already texted saying that her Nephew/Neice are on the way." I said getting up and roaming around the room impatiently.

"Don't reply, let her be in her illusion, and come on, now let us go." He said and I quickly nodded before going out of the room.

Third Person POV

Once Kiara and Neil had finished with their lunch, they quickly set out to see the amazing beauty of the city of love. They both were so amazed seeing the view. It was as if they were looking at some film or an edited scene, the view was so beautiful.

Finally, they reached the true beauty, they'd heard everyone talking about, the Eiffel tower, it was so beautiful and looked so enormous which made Kiara squeal in joy like a kid. It was really a great moment for both of them. Seeing what they had seen only in pictures, now, live, in front of them, was for sure a dream come true.

After a big session of staring at the tower, clicking its pictures from different angles, clicking selfies with it, and even video calling the family, they finally left the place with a really happy heart and roamed here and there, after asking many locals about the best places to wander.

They got a huge list out of which, nearly half they completed today and the rest half, they left for tomorrow, and went to their hotel room, had a silent dinner as they both were exhausted and called the day off. They slept without building Kiara's infamous wall of pillows.

Because maybe,

Just maybe, the last night had made them comfortable around each other that they didn't really feel the need of building the wall.

The next day and their last day in Paris came as if just some seconds have passed. They both really enjoyed every second of their last day there. Soon it was time to leave and they both went to the airport and took their respective seats on the flight with really happy minds and cheerful hearts.

These 3 days of honeymoon - vacation gave them a chance to explore their relationship in such a way that they both didn't even think of.

They liked each other's company, they found solace in silence when they both were together, and they found joy in each other's words.

Indeed, their honeymoon bought new memories and the most important of all a logical thought in their mind, that they both want to stay together leaving the contract.

They both knew now that even without love, their life was a really great one and it would go on to be the same.

They both knew that it required just a single talk to cancel the contract, but nobody is ready to make the first call.

All only because of the one emotion humans fear a lot.

The fear of rejection;

Both felt that the other person would not reciprocate their thoughts, which would make their now happy life, awkward, and not even in complete hell they would want it, so both decided the best for them.

Just go with the flow...

Hey Lovely Readers,

You might be thinking about the drastic change in my updating times,

Quick updates from me are sure unexpected. Aren't they?

Also, just so you all know, writing third person POV is way out of my scope and I am very skeptical about how this part is...

But Still, I hope you all like it
