Melody Of Love

She Rightfully Belonged Here

Michael’s POV:

Bringing a minister to Wonderland without getting media attention is a task next to impossible, so I decided on a place away from the city to get married. I didn’t want a big grand wedding and considering the time we had for preparations and the fact that Rose is worried about her friend’s health, we decided to have a simple wedding in a hotel room.

Once we get over with Kate’s operation, I’ll release a statement to the press about my marriage. And I was thinking about taking Rose along with me on the ‘Vicious tour’ so that I can personally introduce her to my fans.

The car came to a halt, and I realized we arrived at my ranch. I had a hell of an argument with Rose to make her come to my house tonight. She was determined to go back to the hospital. I had to appoint a personal nurse for taking care of her friend for her to come home with me.

It’s not like I didn’t want Rose to visit her friend, I just didn’t want my manager to doubt the fact that Rose preferred to spend the first night after our marriage with her friend over me. Nobody knows about anything about this marriage being a contract, apart from me, my lawyer, Rose, and Diana.

I looked at Rose, who was sleeping peacefully with her head resting on the glass window. She looked so beautiful sleeping that I didn’t have the heart to wake her up. I gathered her in my arms and got out of the car while Tito held the door open for me. She snuggled closer to me in sleep and wrapped one arm around my neck and the other rest on my chest, just over my heart.

I loved the feeling of having her in my arms, I just felt that she rightfully belonged here, in my arms, close to my heart. Shaking my head at those thoughts, I took her to my room, adjusted the pillows, and slowly laid her on my bed. I removed the heels she was wearing and went for a shower once I made sure she was comfortably sleeping.

Today is nothing less than a rollercoaster ride. I thought that I’ll just get Rose to sign the contract today, but she surprised me with the condition of getting married today. Once she listed out all her conditions, I called my lawyer to get a contract prepared, meanwhile  I asked Mr. Lio to arrange for a nurse to look after Kate.

I then took Rose to Diana’s apartment, and once I put on a disguise, I went to a jewelry store and got the rings for our wedding while Rose stayed at Diana’s getting ready for the wedding. We didn’t have the time for wedding outfits, so I went along with a black tuxedo designed for my upcoming music video, while Diana arranged a white gown for Rose.

We then reached the hotel I booked, yes I booked an entire hotel until the next day morning and also made sure the security cameras were switched off, I didn’t want anyone to take any pictures and leak them into the media.

I wanted to be the one to tell my fans about the wedding. I didn’t want them to know about my wedding from some tabloid headlines. When I said I consider them my family, I meant every word.

The marriage ceremony took place in one of the hotel rooms, where I had my photographer Ray, recording the entire ceremony. Then we had a small dinner party after which Rose and I came back to my place.

Once I finished my shower, I went back to my room to find my beautiful wife sleeping soundly. I slowly laid on the bed and moved close to her. I wanted to hold her in my arms, but because I promised her to keep our relationship a professional one, I decided not to. I was happy seeing her sleeping in the same bed with me, for now.

She has a beautiful heart. I know the only reason she agreed to marry me was to save her friend’s life. And who can be so selfless and sacrifice their lives by marrying a stranger to save their friend's life? No one except my wife.

Thinking of her as my wife gave me a happy feeling. I didn’t know how to put my feelings into words. This is all so new for me and I never felt anything like this towards anyone. She’s different. She’s special. My wife.

I moved my hand to her face to remove the hair that is falling on her face and ended up caressing her cheek, and suddenly the memories of our kiss flooded my memory. The kiss was magical. It was a simple peck on her lips but that had me wanting for more.

And I know for a fact that this kiss affected her too, I saw it the way her eyes remained close for few seconds after the kiss, the way her blue eyes looked at me with so much intensity, leaving me breathless, that I had to clench my jaw to keep myself from kissing the life out of her.

She slowly opened her eyes and looked at my hand resting on the side of her face, and then into my eyes, and I was expecting her to freak out, but she moved closer to me that there was hardly any space between us.

“Hello, angel.” Okay, that’s the only thing that came to my mind when she’s here, on my bed, so close to me, looking right in my eye that I can feel the temperature in the room rising.

“Your eyes, they are beautiful.” She started and I know it’s the white wine she had during the dinner speaking.

“Angel-” I tried to say something but she cut me off.

“They are soo dark, and deep, just like pools," she stopped as if searching for the right words before continuing, "and I find myself drowning in them.” She continued.

“Rose-”

“Shh.” She said, effectively cutting me off, before cupping my face and moving her face closer to mine. Her lips were a breath away from mine and I felt my control vanishing. Her eyes moved from my eyes to my lips. They stayed there for a second before meeting my eyes again. 

"Kiss me, please." She whispered. That’s it!

I crashed my lips on hers and turned us around so that she’s under me. I sucked onto her lower lip and a moan escaped her. Her hand went into my hair, and she starting pulling them lightly while her other hand went to my back. Her lips are soft against mine and she pulled me more into her by my neck.

I bit on her lower lip, making her part her lips as I entered her mouth. She tasted like wine. Sweet as May wine. Just as the kiss was becoming more intense, leaving us breathless, I pulled away and stared back at her, only to see her lips become pinker, and her cheeks flushed from the kiss. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at me as I caressed her cheek.

The things I want to do to her…I immediately stopped my thoughts from going there because I’m hanging by a thread. I laid back on the bed before turning her to the side, her back pressed to my front, and wrapped my arm around her waist. I kissed her neck, just below her ear.

“Goodnight angel,” I whispered to her.
