His Mafia Heiress

Matching Tattoos

Chapter 22 

-- Anika --

I woke up at the Pullman launches, the sun rises so high on east. I felt the ring on my left hand and smiled, I started reminiscing what happened last night, it was so memorable that until now I can still feel the butterflies in my stomach. I was indeed nostalgic. 

"Our promise ring" I utter raising my hand on the air, still amazed with the luxury of the ring. 

I stood up and walk to the bathroom to brush and comb my hair, I'm wearing Isaac white tees and my socks, I didn't bother to change my sleep wear anymore. I leave the room and walks into the kitchen where Isaac is half naked again and of course wearing an apron. He was humming and so focus into the dish his cooking that he didn't even recognize my presence.

"What's the good vibes around Isaac?" I asked that makes him stop from humming.

"That's the good vibes there in your finger" He said pointing at the ring.

"If fits you" He added and then kissed my head, I just smiled. 

"We better eat fast because we will flight back to Greece before sunset, we have all the time this morning to buy some staffs here and packs our things the afternoon before we said adieu to this place." Isaac said as he put one plate in front of me full of Lasagna. 

"How sad, but I guess that's life, the memories we had was quite enough to leave this place" I said in satisfaction. 

Isaac then sat beside me and we started eating faster than our usual when we stayed here, maybe we still wants to stay here in this fantasy place but reality world is waiting for us. 

After eating the fully loaded lasagna Isaac cooked, we immediately took a bath and change to start our last day here. I wear a coordinates, a floral green tube paired with a floral below the knee skirt. 

"Let's go?" Isaac said as he saw me walking out the room. 

We first stop on a souvenir shops, I finally convinced Isaac that I will buy something for the boys. 

"Do you think they'll like this one?" I asked raising a 90s vintage dark blue Maldives souvenir shirt. 

"I guess so" He just shrugs. 

I bought 8 with the sizes I think that will fit the boys and 2 for Albert and Amelia. I bought bags also for Amelia, I customized a Maldivian key chain engraved with the names of the boys and bought matching phone cases for Isaac and me. I've been to a lot of places also but I never had the time to buy souvenirs, I never thought it was really fun, while Isaac seems annoyed already because we're almost there for thirty minutes already. 

"Love, we don't have the whole time in the world to buy those souvenirs, don't choose we will take those all." He said in annoyance. 

"I just stayed there for a couple of minutes and then here you are being so annoyed already." I said then hugs him through his neck. 

"O c'mon do you really want to do this here?" He whispers in my ears and wraps his hands around my waist. 

Before I even respond teasing him, an old man carrying all of the stuffs I bought for the guys handling us a three big paper bags.

“What the hell are those? I’m going to carry those things?” He said looking at the man, the old man flashes fear in his eyes.

I just smiled and hold Isaac hands.

 “Unless you want me to carry our things” I said winking at him. He didn’t respond anymore and just carry the bags on his left hands while he holds my hand on his right tattooed arm.

I look at him and the souvenir doesn’t look heavy the way he carries it, his muscles are well flex while holding the bags. I started taking photos of us, I just find it cute you know, and since today is our last day we have to make the most out of it. I suddenly stop in front of an art store.

“Why? Is there something wrong?” Isaac asked looking at the store

“Don’t tell me you’ll buy souvenirs inside again.” He added raising his tone a little but in annoyance.

“Let’s have tattoos” I said in excitement.

“I don’t need one, I have a lot of tattoos on my body.” He said in disapproval.

“But I need one” I rationally.

“I’ll just have one again with your face tattooed on my left chest, every tattoo I have has all meanings and are related to the story of my life, these tattoos are made by great and well known artist, I will asked them to come to the house once we get back ” He explained.

“But I want one that matches with you and I want it here since we’re making memories here right?” I said childishly, looking at him like a puppy.

“Fine, stop those eyes it’s not funny.” He said in irritation then walks his way inside the store.

I jump a little like a kid who got what she finally wanted after a long discussion.

When I enter the store, Isaac is talking to a lady who have tattooed all over her body and her face.

“Is there a female available artist who can accommodate her?” Isaac said pointing at me.

“Yes sir, we have” The lady replied staring at Isaac.

“And I want a male who will do his tattoo.” I said folding my arms under my chest, Isaac just smirk.

“No problem ma’am, please choose your tattoo here ma’am” The lady handing as a portfolio.

“I want a bow and arrow” I said without looking at the portfolio.

“Why?” Isaac said facing at me with confusion.

“According to research, bow and arrow is a nice couple tattoo because it takes two parts for it to be effective, otherwise one is not functional as it have to be, aside from that it shows the fact that the partners are indestructible together and each one has vital role in each life” I said confidently.

“Oh!” Isaac said and just shrugs.

We were escorted to the private room followed by the artist who will do our tattoos.

“You’re so clever” Isaac said smiling at me as we sat down on the bed.

“So where are you going to put your first tattoo love?” He asks scanning my body. I suddenly felt conscious.

“Where do you suggest?” I asked trying to hide my consciousness. 

“Your body your choice” He said leaning on the bed.

“I will adjust, since you have a lot of tattoo in your body, lets just check where can we put the bow and I will just do the same” I suggested.

Isaac suddenly takes off his shirt revealing his muscular body built, I have the urge to touch it but not to put myself on deep shame, I control myself, I walk around him scanning where best we can put on our matching tattoo. I decided to put it on the back of our hips.

I lay down on the bed facing Isaac who is also looking at me. I smiled at him which he returns with a wink that makes me giggle. We’ve been steady for almost a hour when the tattoo artist finally finish their works.

We both stand and look at the mirror checking the tattoos, arrow on me and bow on Isaac. I asked the artist to take a picture of our new matching tattoos.

We left the art shops with a satisfaction on our faces, we looks like a young teen that finally have matching tattoos. I know Isaac finds it immature but I love the way he accepts those immaturity.

We directly look for a restaurant to take our lunch. Isaac choose a fine dining restaurant, we spent our lunch for almost two hours when we finally decided to go. We don’t eat that much we just laughed and shared moments in this paradise.

After eating we look for some more souvenirs, when I’m satisfied we go back to the Pullman launches to pack our things. We hurriedly pack our things because Jake called that the plain will be at the airport after 15 minutes. We took a picture of us first before we embark on the yacht. I took a last glance on the launches before Isaac tells me to go inside because the winds getting cold.

The plain was already at the airport when we arrive, Isaac open the car door for me and we walk straightly inside the plain, the guards carried our bags.

“Take a rest first love, I will wake you up when the dinner is ready.” Isaac said as he opened his laptop and starting checking his emails.

Soon sleep envelopes me.
