My Secretive Wife

WATCH A MOVIE

Athena thought of her mission and promised herself to complete it successfully, like how she did it in the past. So, she decided to be laid-back and have fun while she could before her mission starts because who knows what will happen next? 

"Does it still hurt?" He asked in a concerned tone. "Hmm... give me a kiss, and I'll tell you," Athena said naughtily. She repeated what he told her in front of the hotel a while ago. And now it is her turn.

 She doesn't need to ask twice because Marco's lips landed on hers as soon as she mentioned it. He kissed her by surprise, which is visible in her almond-shaped eyes, just like what she did to him earlier.

He was about to deepen their kiss when the doorbell rang. He bit Athena's lips lightly before he let go of her. 

Athena ran to the bathroom, and Marco was left. He chuckled and walked to the door to open it. 

"Sir Marco, these are the food that our new chef made," the manager on duty said. Their boss doesn't visit all the time, so he took this opportunity to get closer to him.

"Hmm..." Marco nodded and held onto the cart. The manager let go of the cart awkwardly.

"Sir, if you need anything, you can call me directly," he said eagerly.

"Coordinate to Anthony," Marco replied and closed the door without waiting for his reply. He then waited for Athena to come out of the bathroom. 

Athena was flustered and turned on. She washed her face with cold water to cool down the heat of her body. Marco had set the table when Athena came out. She was embarrassed, but she tried to hide it by giving him a sweet smile. And, of course, it works! 

For dinner, they had lemon dill salmon, grilled asparagus, roasted potatoes, tomato soup, and fruit salad. There's a bottle of white wine on the side as well.

The dinner was quiet. From time to time, Athena was glancing at him secretly, which of course, Marco noticed. Marco pours the wine into her glass, half full. He learned a few months back that she doesn't drink. She just had one can of beer that day, and she passed out on him. 

Athena took the glass of wine and sipped it to have a taste. It is fruity and light. She took another sip and smiled. "I like it," she said, smiling widely. 

"Glad you do," he replied with a proud smile. A light to medium wine is best for beginners like her. That's why he chose that wine, and he's glad that she liked it.

"Let's watch a movie!" She said eagerly. They've been together for a while, but they haven't watched a movie together. When they started dating, they always spent their time on the beach swimming, eating, or just watching the sky at night.

He chuckled at how eager she was. "Okay," he agreed, and they walked to the living room with their wines in their hands.

She turned on the TV and searched for a movie. She's been searching for a while, and it seems that she cannot find the one she likes. He stared at her in amusement when she had just passed all the romance movies and did not even bother to read the plots. He noticed that she only read the stories if the genre is a mystery or action movie. But when she saw the movie Casino Royale, a James Bond series, she looked at him and asked, "Wanna watch it?" 

Her tone is not asking him if he wants to watch it too, but it's more like she's telling him that they should watch it. He smiled and nodded. He was astonished to know that his wife is into action movies. He thought he would be stuck watching romance movies with her.

He's an avid fan of action movies himself, so seeing that his wife's preference when it comes to the genre of the film is the same as him, he was satisfied. He still has many things to know about his wife, which is a good start.

He clapped twice, and the light in the living room turned off automatically. The sixty-inch flat screen tv is the only source of light they had. Athena sat on the floor and leaned her back on the couch. Marco followed and sat beside her. The opening scene is in black and white showing a building and a car stopped in front of it. When the fight scene appeared on the monitor, he noticed Athena's hand moved and seemed to be following what the actor was doing on the screen. She then closed her right hand tight and released it fast.

Athena felt like he was watching her, so she smiled at him. Marco smiled back and clasped her hand. She moved closer to him then leaned her head on his shoulder. Half an hour later, Athena fell asleep. 

Marco heard a light snore coming from her. He shook his head and slowly positioned himself to carry Athena to their room without waking her up. She must be tired walking around all day, he thought to himself.

On the second day of their stay in the hotel and resort, Marco brought Athena to a shop selling gear related to water activities. She looked at him with confusion.

Marco was looking at the thin wetsuits hanging on the rack. He checked the size and said to her, "try this." She looked at the wetsuit and nodded. 

Athena walks out of the changing room a few minutes later, and Marco instinctively swallows his saliva. 'Damn! His wife was born to seduce him,' he thought. 

"How was it?" She asked without noticing the change in Marco's face.

"Ahem," he cleared his throat before he replied, "perfect," he said, then handed the snorkel and the set of fins. He steps closer to try the mask if it fits her. He was proud of himself when he got the correct sizes for her on the first try. 

He also bought a mini waterproof camera and flotation gear for her.

When he got everything they needed and was about to leave the shop, the salesperson suddenly asked, "Sir, do you need an instructor?"

Marco looked at him and said, "No need." He turned her head back and followed Athena, who was already outside.

"Have you tried snorkeling before?" He asked her while they were walking on the shore.

"No, this would be my first time," she said honestly. She can swim, no doubt about it, but she hasn't done snorkeling or any water recreations or sports. She is too busy with her missions and training to enjoy nature.
