"Ramon!" Hailee chided and glared at the man who was laughing and opened the car door for her.
Has he drunk too much? Why does he seem to enjoy teasing Hailee so much? And his words became much… bolder.
If one looked at it, Ramon really enjoyed their time together this time around and became much more relaxed, it's just that his attitude changed to one hundred and eighty degrees and this made Hailee feel a little overwhelmed in response to this change in his attitude.
"Hurry up ... I am really tired." This time Ramon grumbled as he nudged Hailee's body lightly to get her into the car.
Huh, who made him tease Hailee all the time?
Grunting, Haillee got into the car and slumped herself down. She felt her sleepiness had long disappeared into thin air. Meanwhile, Ramon turned around the car and got behind the wheel.
It seemed that this last trip would only be a journey for the two of them, at least in the car, because behind them, it was certain that there were about two cars with four bodyguards following them discreetly.
Well, at least Hailee didn't need to be afraid that in the middle of the road they would suddenly get robbed in the middle of the night.
Then, it will be a very unpleasant honeymoon if that was the case.
They were practically in the middle of nowhere.
"Where is this?" Hailee asked Ramon who started the car. She looked out the windshield, and greeted by the endless darkness that enveloped them and the valleys hugging the small tarmac. "Hey, Mr. Tordoff. Where did you kidnap me to?" Hailee asked again after Ramon turned a corner and drove out of there, onto the main road.
"Crestgold Island," Ramon answered curtly. He rubbed his tired face and then smiled at Hailee, as if this was a secret that had just been exposed.
However, Hailee didn't understand where the surprise actually lied. "I have never heard the name of this island."
"Of course not," Ramon replied, refocusing on the road in front of him, but every now and then he would glance at his wife's expression.
"You rented a place on this island for our honeymoon?" Hailee guessed, her forehead creased slightly.
"Close, but not quite right," Ramon replied, the glow in his eyes becoming more and more clear.
"You rented the entire island?!" Hailee stared in disbelief. Given the wealth Ramon has, it is not impossible. And after observing him for the last few months, Hailee could conclude that Ramon was quite generous in spending his money.
"It is not quite right to call it renting, though," Ramon said, glancing at Hailee with a meaningful gaze, before he took Hailee's hand and squeezed it.
Ugh! This is so romantic! Driving the car with one hand and holding Hailee's with the other.
Isn't it like his body language was saying that Ramon doesn't want to let Hailee go? Or maybe it was Hailee, who thought too far...
Whatever it was, Ramon's seemingly casual actions actually make Hailee's head spin a little when she thought back.
"You didn't rent this place…" Hailee muttered softly, she glanced back at their interlocked hands and pondered a little. "Don't tell me that you own this island..."
Hailee only said that casually and wasn't really serious about saying it, but since Ramon didn't say anything, she lifted her head and stared at the man beside her wide- eyed as understanding began to dawn upon her.
"Don't say it's true," Hailee whispered with an expression that Ramon found ridiculous. Shouldn't she have guessed this fairly easily?
"Then, I won't say anything." Ramon glanced at Hailee and refocused on the road ahead.
"Ramon, seriously!?" Hailee exclaimed. "You bought this island specifically for our honeymoon?!" If it was true then Hailee would be deeply honored.
But, Ramon then let go of her hand that he was holding and tapped her head lightly. "Don't think too far," he grumbled. "I bought this island a very long time back. This is the first island that I bought under my personal name."
"Oh…" Hailee went 'oh' and was a little disappointed that Ramon didn't hold her hand again, but instead took control of the car.
But then Hailee looked out of the window again and was amazed… she had seen someone buy acres of land or even a very grand house, but had never met someone who bought an island.
And even though it's night time, but Hailee could still see how beautiful this place was and Ramon brought her here…
"Are we going to be the only people living on this island?" Hailee asked in confusion. She did not see any houses around them, even though the roads they passed were already very good with adequate lighting, it seemed that Ramon wanted to maintain the beauty of this island by not building too much here.
"Of course not." Ramon laughed in his distinctive style. "This is a tourist spot, it is just that we are in a different part of the island which is not too crowded. Some tourists come here for surfing and vacations."
"Are you going to surf with me?" Hailee asked enthusiastically, looking back at Ramon with hopeful eyes.
"Can you surf?" Ramon asked back and saw from the corner of his eye Hailee shaking her head with a grin.
"Teach me," she said.
"Sure." Ramon agreed. "We have arrived," he informed her.
Hailee turned her head very fast and looked straight ahead. In the direction Ramon pointed.
In front of them, is a white house in a size that is not too big, but looks very beautiful and aesthetic, especially when the house is perched on the edge of a cliff from where they can hear the sound of the waves and two or three seabirds flying low around it.
"Open the window," Ramon told Hailee and was quite pleased to see how the girl reacted. Her face lit up with joy and she didn't stop smiling broadly. Hailee's eyes widened, showing her admiration even though she didn't say anything.
Hailee immediately opened her car window and felt the fresh breeze from the sea that carried the distinctive scent of the beach.
"Are you happy?" Asked Ramon, stopping their car right in front of the white house.
Hailee didn't answer Ramon, but she immediately hugged him and landed a kiss on his lips, before finally hugging her husband again.
"I think the answer is 'yes'," Ramon said with a laugh. Hailee's kiss is an absolute answer.
"Let's go inside, let's go inside!" Hailee jumped out of the car and immediately spread out her arms and stretched her stiff body.
Meanwhile, the two cars behind them also stopped and four people immediately got out of them, keeping their distance from the bride and groom, giving them some privacy.
Since Hailee was used to having all of them around and was very familiar with the four of them, she didn't feel bothered much.
"Come on, let's go inside! I want to see the house!" Hailee then ran toward the house.
This house is like the house in the film Il Mare, the Korean version of Lake House, played by Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock, only this one looks more modern.
Or maybe Ramon actually watched the film? Hailee just couldn't imagine that Ramon would actually see such a romantic movie.
Maybe later Hailee would ask him, where did he get the inspiration to build such a house. But later, after she fed her curiosity about the inside of this house.
"Wait a minute…" Ramon chased after Hailee who had run toward the house and grabbed her wrist before she climbed the steps that led to the main door.
"What?" Hailee asked. "Ah!"
But then Ramon picked up Hailee and carried her into the house. "Isn't this what should be done?"
Hailee laughed while hugging Ramon's neck. "Are you trying to be romantic?" She asked through laughter.
"You don't like it?" Ramon asked, his eyes staring deeply into Hailee's. "I think this is what newlyweds do when they enter their new home."
"So this is our home?" Hailee buried her head in the crook of Ramon's neck, as a red tinge colored her cheeks. She peeked over Ramon's shoulder and took in the house.
This house has a blue nuance inside with a high roof, giving a beautiful and spacious sensation with the added number of windows, which unveiled the surrounding scenery.
In the daytime the view from this house must have been extraordinary, but for now, all they could see was darkness.
"If you want it." Ramon then brought Hailee into the main bedroom which is located at the far end of the house and put Hailee down when they got to the room.
Hailee then looked at the room and was amazed when she saw this minimalistic room, in which almost all the materials are made of light brown wood.
A large bed sits in the middle of the room in a Victorian style.
But, it wasn't the bed or the minimalistic style of this room that made Hailee gasp, because when her bare feet touched what should have been the cold floor, she felt something soft touching them.
And apart from the very calming scent of the sea, there is another scent that is so sweet that teased her nostrils.
Fresh roses scent.
And when Hailee looked down to see what was beneath her feet, she saw white rose petals scattered on the floor of the room, covering its entire surface.
While on the bed there was a red rose, a flower that had not yet bloomed, symbolizing love that had just sprung to life...
"You like it?" Ramon hugged Hailee's body from behind and rested his chin on the girl's shoulder.
Hailee was speechless when she saw this surprise and only when she felt Ramon's body that was standing very close to hers, did she regain consciousness before she nodded.
"How many flowers died because you wanted to please me like this?" Hailee turned her body so she could stare at this man. The man who had made herself so happy that she wanted to cry.
"You always have answers that are unexpected." Hailee always surprised him with every answer she had. Who would think about that at a time like this?
"But, you like me because of that, right?" Hailee then placed her arms around Ramon's neck and made the man have to look down.
"Maybe…" Ramon then leaned over to kiss Hailee's lips gently and hugged her carefully. Enjoying every moment they spend together.
The fact that they are in this place, alone with rose petals in a romantic room, accompanied by the sound of the waves crashing outside, is like a dream.
But, this is reality and none of them will fall asleep tonight ...
"Ramon!" Hailee chided and glared at the man who was laughing and opened the car door for her.
Has he drunk too much? Why does he seem to enjoy teasing Hailee so much? And his words became much… bolder.
