“Why are you angry?” Oriana queried.
Deacon held Oriana’s butt and protected her steadily. He pursed his lips and replied in a low voice, “I think you’re playing with me.”
“How did I play with you?”
“You just want to spend your honeymoon with me, but you don’t want to be with me forever. When the time comes, you’ll just raise your butt and leave. Isn’t that being ruthless?”
Oriana buried her face in his neck, and whispered,
“Mr. Armstead. I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay.” Deacon responded.
The duo didn’t bring up the topic again. Their time together was limited, and neither of them wanted wasting time arguing.
was carried into the room by Deacon. She wished that the road wouldn’t end and that he would carry her forever,
Oriana applied some medicine on herself. Once it evening, they took a shower and laid on the bed. Deacon looked at her and asked,
“Mrs. Armstead, are you alright?”
“I’m not feeling too well. My body aches.” Oriana replied as she avoided his gaze
Deacon rolled over and covered the blanket on their body.
“Let me see.”
“No.”
“Show me.”
The both made a fuss under the blanket.
Since they had slept late, Oriana and Deacon couldn’t get out of bed the next morning. Three days had clapsed, and on the fourth morning, they still didn’t leave the room.
In the evening, a knock landed on the door and it was pushed open, Mrs. Kathy greeted them with a smile and pulled Oriana aside.
“Miss Oriana, I prepared a fish soup for you. Come have it.” Mrs. Kathy informed her.
Today, Oriana was clothed in a wide black jacket with the zipper pulled all the way to the top. Her legs. and feet were shielded with a pair of small white shoes.
Oriana’s black hair was still loose, but her palm-sized face was beautiful like the morning sun.
Today was already the last night. And tomorrow would be the appointment time. Alpha would come to pick Deacon up. So tonight, Oriana and Deacon were going to watch the sunrise on the mountain.
“Aunt Kathy, what’s the fish soup for?”. Oriana inquired.
“Miss Oriana, you and master haven’t been out for three days. Young people are physically strong and y’all love to, yunno… But you need to make up for the lost energy.” Mrs. Kathy explained seriously. Oriana’s face blushed and she quickly ran away from her.
“Aunt Kathy, I don’t want to have the soup now.
Oriana wasn’t watching her path, and she stumbled into Deacon’s arms.
“What are you panicking about? Run slowly, what would I do if you fall?” Deacon’s reprimanding voice sounded.
Oriana looked up at Deacon’s handsome face. Compared to her, Deacon was in a good mood. Today, Deacon was wearing a black coat. He looked handsome and stylish. His figure could effortlessly suppress that of international male models.
“It’s all your fault! Why not stay one place.” Oriana covered her blushing face with her hands.
Deacon furrowed his brows, as he didn’t understand why she reacted the way she did.
“Mrs. Armstead, I want you to tell me why our relationship wasn’t this serious when we were married. Why weren’t we serious with us?” Deacon asked as he stared at Oriana.
Oriana suspected what he meant, hence she ignored him and didn’t answer his question. The honeymoon had turned out to be completely different from what Oriana had imagined.
After biding farewell to the neighbors, the duo headed to the mountain.
Oriana was definitely not able to climb the mountain. Deacon asked her to jump in his back, and he had carried her all the way up.
When they had arrived the mountain top, Oriana heard two bird chirping, she raised her eyes and pointed happily at a big tree.
“Mr. Armstead, look, there’s a bird nest on the tree.”
Deacon looked up and then replied,
“What’s so beautiful about a bird nest?”
“Mr. Armstead, you know nothing! When I was young. I had always wanted to climb a tree and get a bird’s nest down. There must be eggs in the bird’s nest. I can keep the eggs till it hatches. It’s interesting to think about it.” Oriana explained as she reminisced on her childhood.
“Really?” Deacon snorted, his response was rather perfunctory.
Oriana grabbed Deacon’s right ear and said,
“Don’t laugh at me!”
No one had dared to ever grab Deacon by the ear.
“Mrs. Armstead, you’ve grown so bold. You dare to grab me by the ear?” Deacon questioned unbelievably.
Infact, Oriana really didn’t care about his reaction. She placed her left hand by her waist and asked,
“What’s wrong with me holding your car? Not only will I hold your ear, I’ll also make you kneel at night.”
In an instant, Deacon understood clearly what Oriana meant.
Oriana immediately conceded defeat. She knew that she was making threats that she couldn’t withstand.
“Mr. Armstead, I’m sorry, okay?” Oriana’s pleading voice sounded.
When night fell, Deacon and Oriana pitched a tent, but instead of sleeping, they sat beside each other on the mountain top.
“It’s cold out here, don’t catch a cold.” Deacon warned as he wrapped Oriana with a blanket, revealing only her small head.
“Mr. Armstead, I think I’m very happy now. “Oriana rested her head on Deacon’s shoulder as she smiled at him.
Deacon hugged her tightly, his lips rubbing against her face.
“You can choose to stay happy forever.” Deacon voice sounded in Oriana’s ears.
Oriana’s heart s kip ped a beat. They hadn’t brought up the unpleasant topic in the past two days, but now, Deacon brought up the topic again.
“Oriana, if you like it here, then let’s stay here forever.”
“Mr. Armstead.” Oriana interupted him.
“You have to abi de by the agreement. We agreed on a five-day honeymoon trip. When the sun rises, we’ll part ways.” Oriana added calmly.
Deacon tightened his grip and lowered his head. After a while, he said,
“Sleep for a while. I’ll hold you in my arms. I’ll wake you up when the sun rises.
”
“Okay.” Oriana pressed he face into his warm embrace, and listened to the beating of his heart.
She was really happy now. Soon, Oriana opened her eyes and muttered,
“Mr. Armstead, can you sign me a song?”
“What song should I sing?”
“I’ll listen to whatever you sing.”
Deacon hugged Oriana closer and sang a lullaby for her.
“Tw inkle, tw inkle, little star, how I wonder what you are.”
“Up, above, the world so high,”
“Like a diamond in the sky…”
Oriana’s fingers held onto his shirt, causing her body to feel entwined with his. Oriana thought about the future, Deacon might some day have a daughter whom he’ll love. She knew that he’ll make a great father. It was a pity that she could no longer participate in his future.
Oriana had fallen asleep in his arms. Deacon hugged her closely and didn’t sleep. He wasn’t feeling sleepy. The thought of today being the last day made him feel restless and selfish.
He had once pushed Oriana away, but now, he didn’t want to let go of her.
After some hours had elapsed, the sky gradually changed, and the morning sun slowly rose from the h o rizon.
“Oriana, wake up, the sun has risen.” Deacon tapped
Oriana gently on the shoulder.
Oriana heard Deacon’s gentle call in her sleep. She slowly opened her eyes. The sun was out and shining beautifully.
