HIS 90 DAYS BRIDE - EPISODE 30

” I’m going out. ”
Adriana notified Davis who sat leg crossed in the sitting, typing on his laptop.

” No, you’re not.”
He cut in.

” I really need to go out…”
She smiled,… Not getting the reason why he’d say no.
Besides…” Aren’t you supposed to be at your workplace?” She asked.

” I decided to stay back. Anything wrong with that?”

” No. ” She mouthed, shaking her head.

” So,… I won’t stay long. I just need to g..

” You aren’t going out… Please stay back. ” David cut in.

He wasn’t gonna let her out of his sight.

Adriana giggled. ” You really are serious,..?”

He nods, then stands up and walk towards her. ” I’m serious. You’re not leaving my sight. ”
Not today of all days.
He quite stopped himself from adding the last part.

” Oh..ok. since you’re that serious.”

She nods,.. then walk back inside.

Davis breath a sigh of relief.
He can’t let her out of his sight. No. He can’t risk that. His marriage with her has gone public so it’s no news Adriana is his wife. Today of all days, he’s supposed to take precautions cause the real culprit might be out there, waiting for the perfect time to make a move.

Concerning his mom and kid sister, he already placed security on them. And Adriana’s family isn’t left out.

They are well guarded in his penthouse.
The only responsibility he has now is his wife. Adriana.

He sat back on the couch and began again with his laptop. To, at least, distract him from the heated boredom he was feeling.

****

Rachel checked her watch non-stop. If only he could just come.
She was running out of patience.

It’s so unlike her boss to not come to his office. What is seriously keeping him this late?..
Could it be traffic?

She relaxed a bit on her seat, just a little more time and he’ll be here.

She assured herself with a deep breath.
***

Three more hours. And she was craving so bad to go out.

” Getting married didn’t mean my movements are now restricted.”
She grumbled.

Throwing the pillows at the wall.

” I’m craving for this so bad…”
She pouted…

Yeah, she wanted ice-creams and the kind she wanted was from Mr hatline which is not too far from the market.

Why won’t he let her out?

She frowned deep.. climbing down the bed.
She slipped her small feet into her slippers before walking out.

” I’m not gonna sea…

Her voice trailed off the moment she saw Davis..
He was already fast asleep. Oh. He must have slept off while faking to be busy with his laptop.

She sighed out.

It wasn’t a good idea to wake him up.

Maybe this was the time to go out. She’ll be back before he blinks his eyes open. She assured herself.

She’ll use a cab. It’ll be faster than he expect and he won’t notice she crept out.

The idea didn’t go too well with her but she just needed to try,. At least, to satisfy her craving. Aside ice creams, she wanted fruits too. Apples precisely.

“Hmm..”
Davis moved a little, his eyes still shut in sleep.

Adriana tipped her toes backwards so not to wake him up.

After ensuring he was fast asleep,… She trailed out of the sitting.

****

Moments later.

” Yes. Stop. Please. ”

I stopped the taxi driver from going any further.
With a smile not leaving my lips, I paid him off before getting out.

Whooa.
The cool breeze brush my hair over my face.
I had to use my fingers to tuck the strands behind my ear.
It was a cool afternoon. The Atmosphere smelt really really good.

I can’t remember when last I had this freedom to go out.
It’s been a week plus since I got married and I must say,.. staying indoors has been my thing.

But still, I wouldn’t forget the reason I’m out here.

Hmph!

Mr hatline’s ice cream shop isn’t far from here.

She’ll just be real quick with it.. then go back and pretend she never went out.

****

Rachel picked up her phone and tried dialing her boss’ number for the upteenth time. He hasn’t been picking up.

Her eyes fixed on the lunch box on her desk. It was a lot easier planning this sh”t.. why did he have to skip work today of all day?

“Sh”t!”
She cussed. As the call ended once again.

Her plans were frustrating her.

What does she tell Betty?.. today looked like a real good day to just fix up everything for her.

If only Davis wasn’t so dumb so have skipped work!

But,..

She wouldn’t just give up yet,… Would she?

No.
She bit her lower lip.

Dialing his number again.

*****

Beep.

Beep.

“Augh! ”
Davis yawned. Dimming his eyes open.

His phone was ringing.
He reached for it ..

“Sh”t!” He growled.

15 missed calls… From his secretary.
What was so urgent that she’d ring him 15 times?..

Speaking of urgency…

“Adriana?”

He called out.

He needed to be sure Adriana was still indoors.

He dropped his laptop and got up.

“Adriana!”
He called out,.. walking towards their room.

He opened the door and she wasn’t there.

Don’t tell me she went out against my order?.

He thought within as he ransacked the house for her.

There was no trace of her..

Dammit!

She left. She left against his warning!..

He picked his phone and called her. But there was no answer.

It only increase his panic

” Why don’t you ever listen goddamit'”
He grumbled under his breath reaching for a T-shirt.

This wasn’t funny to him at all. Today of all days, she decided to disobey him.

****

“Thank you ”
She grinned excitedly, grabbing the cup ice-creams from the lady.

“Your ice cream is so great . I fvcking love you guys. ”

” Yeah.. thanks”
The lady attendant mouthed.

She didn’t know why she was feeling so emotional and excited about this ice-cream. But it’s great. The feeling and all.

She stepped out of the ice-cream shop and decided to grab some fruits.

She walked few distance into the fruit market when she felt a hand pull her from behind.

“What the…!”

“Adriana. I found you. ”
Before she could say anything,.. the figure pulled her into a tight hug.
