Victoria’s Secret

Chapter 6

Victoria and Cedrick shared a beautiful night together in the hotel. Lots of fun and of course s*x. That is given to newly wed couples. After spending time there they flew to Mexico for their honeymoon. It was great. Victoria loved the places they went. They went to see ruins and landmarks and some archeological sites. They spent time on the beautiful beaches of Isla Mujeres and spent the nightlife. Most of the time they spent their nights on the clear water and clean sands of the hotel area they booked into. Enjoying each other’s company, and sceneries and all those sweet moments they are together.

On their last day, they decided to stay in the hotel and watch the sunset along the beach. Victoria brought a towel for them to lay on. Cedrick carried two wine glasses in his hand and a bottle of his favorite red wine, Chateau Ausone. Victoria carefully lays down the towel on the sand while Cedrick is patiently waiting. After she finished, Cedrick carefully hopped on to it and sat on the top most edge to it making a room for Victoria in front of him. He put down the bottle and wine glasses.

“Come, sit here.” He told Victoria while he patted the space in front of him. He opened his legs so Victoria could sit comfortably. She obliged. When she sat properly and comfortably, Cedrick hugged her from behind. “This is the best day of my life.” he said and he rested his head on her right shoulder.

She caressed his head. “Me too.” She answered shortly.

“I hope this day will not finish. I want it longer.” he complained. They only have a week for their honeymoon. Only a week because they have to settle things on their house and also the business. Cedrick already owns a house for the two of them to live in. Everything was already there, only the two of them were missing. They have their household help and also everything inside the house is perfectly operating. It was Cedrick’s surprise gift for the two of them for being married. He poured wine on their glasses.

“Cheers for a better future together,” he offered and they slowly sipped it. He wrapped his arms to Victoria again while she lay her head on his shoulder. The sunset is breathtaking. The wind from the sea calms their mind and the sound of the waves relaxes their hearts. This made them feel how greatful, how happy and how fulfilling things are between them. In Cedrick’s mind, he wanted things to be as it is right now. The contentment and happiness he feels, the love and joy and the feeling of holding the love of her life is nothing but total perfection for the description of LOVE.

Honeymoon is over. They are back and enter their new house and ready to begin a life of being together as husband and wife. Cedrick bought a two story house with a big lawn and a big garage. The garage can fit three cars and their lawn is so wide with green grass on it. There is also a garden in front and a big mango tree at the side. Cedrick plans to put a hammock there under the tree and a table with care. The tree is so huge that when it’s very hot, you can have shade there. Have some coffee or tea in the afternoon.

The first thing Victoria did from their first day in their house is to cook for him his first breakfast being his wife. He liked eggs, bread and coffee for breakfast. He is a simple man that loves simple things. Food is not a problem for him as long as he has something before heading to work. She cooked while he was still asleep. After she prepared everything, she went up to their bedroom to wake him up.

“Honey, wake up.” She whispered at him. “Time for breakfast,” she continued. He winced but didn’t open his eyes. He pretended to be asleep again. “Honey!” she insisted and kissed his ear. “Come on!”

He didn’t move. She grabbed the blanket and pulled it off him. “Cedrick, hon!” She’s impatient now.

He laughed when he heard that she was getting mad at him not waking up. He grabbed her. The both of them dropped to bed. “Okay, okay. I am up.” he playfully hugged her to pin her down.

“Come on, get dressed and come downstairs. I cooked for you.” She happily told him.

“Really? I didn’t know that Mrs. Porter knows how to cook!” He teased her.

“You are such a bully you know that?” She smiled. “Of course I know some houseworks. So come on, get up and come down for breakfast.” She ordered him.

She left him in the room and decided to wait for him on the dining table. After a few minutes, she is downstairs with his boxer shorts and a sando shirt.

“Mmmmm, the smell of coffee.” He sniffed the air. He sat at the chair beside her. She poured coffee on his mug upon which he sat. “Thank you!” She murmured and drank a sip of the coffee. “Delicious!” He exclaimed.

“Did you make all of this?” He asked.

“Yes.”

“Looks yummy! Can we?”

“Of course!” She serves some food on his plate and he happily digs in.

“What are your plans today, hon? I will not be home the whole day because of work.” he asked her while he was drinking his cup of coffee.

“I will try to go and buy some stuff for the house and then visit my parents. My Mom has been asking me to go and also maybe tomorrow we can go to your parents’ house to visit them?” She suggested.

“Tomorrow? I guess I will be busy too, hon. Maybe On the weekend?”

“Of course! And also next week i will be back to work.” She announced. Her father has been asking her to go back to work but she asked him to give her a week more to settle things with her husband. They just get back and she needs to sort things out on to their new home. And also she wants to give time for Cedrick. She knew that when she goes back to work, they will seldom have time for each other.

“Are you sure you want to go back to work? Why not stay at home?” he suggested.

“Hon, you know I cannot do that. And I never will.” She explained. She frowned. She can’t see herself being stuck inside the house and be a housewife. She is a working person and it will stay that way.

“Okay. Okay. I will not insist then.” He replied, to make her change her mood.

Afte breakfast, Cedrick gets ready for work. He knows that he will be busy for the past few days. He was gone for a week, that's why he had to sort things out and finish the things he had to. Victoria on the other hand went to the supermarket to buy some things for the kitchen and things they will use everyday. After that, she called her mother to tell her that she will go there to have lunch and chit chat.

It was her mother who greeted her when she came. As usual, she is a woman with grace and fashion. You cannot even tell that she is in her mid 60’s because of the way she dresses.

“Hello, Victoria!” Greeted her daughter and gave a kiss.

“How are you, Mom?”

“Oh well, I am good. Your father is in his study. He will come out in a bit. He said he will finish the call and then we will eat lunch. How’s the honeymoon? How’s your new home? Does Cedrick take care of you?” She has a lot of questions that even Victoria doesn’t know what to answer first.

“Mom, everything is good. Cedrick is very loving and he takes care of me. For the new house, I like it so much. Very spacious. Maybe one of these days you can come visit me there. Where’s Val?” She asked about her younger sister. Val is what she calls her sister Valerie. She is two years younger than her and the favorite of the family. She is an outspoken person and free spirit. Even though she is like the black sheep of the family, she is still the favorite of their father.

“Oh, she went to her friend’s house. It’s her birthday so I guess you know what she is gonna do again,” explained her mother.

Victoria just shook her head. She knows her sister very well. Wild person. So she will not be surprised when she comes home drunk or won’t even come home.

“I know. I know.” her mother told her when she saw her shaking her head.

“You know but you let her be. How can she learn her lesson or how can she grow up if you spoil her like that? Mom, she’s not a teenager anymore and…..”

The conversation was interrupted because her father emerged from nowhere.

“What is this all about?” he straightforwardly asked.

“Dad!” She exclaimed. He went to him and gave him a hug and a kiss. “How are you?”

“I am doing good. When are you going back to work? The company needs you.” That’s the first thing he asked. He didn’t even ask how she is or how her life is going.

“As soon as I settle things, Dad. And also you are there so i guess you can handle it better.”

“I still need your help. We will be having a wine tasting next week for our newly fermented wine. We will be bringing it to the public and selling it.”

“Maybe next week, Dad, I will be back to work.” She explained again.

“Can you come back in two days time?” He suggested or rather he insisted.

“But Dad..”

“No more BUTs. Come back in two days. I will talk to Cedrick about it.” He is firm of what he just said so she didn’t dare to contradict.

After eating their lunch, Victoria said goodbye to them. She doesn’t want to go home yet but she cannot stand her father. Everytime she is with him, she feels like there is a fire under her feet that wants to run away. She decided to visit Cedrick to his office, a surprise visit. So she drove along there. When she arrived, she parked her car and went up to the 23rd story. Everyone who saw her, greeted her. Everybody knows that she is the wife of the owner of the company.

She told Cedrick’s sekretary not to tell him that she is coming. So when she arrived at his floor, she slowly knocked on the door.

“Come in!” The voice of Cedrick from the inside. She slowly opened the door. She peeked first to see if there was someone inside. Nobody. So she swung the door open.

“Surprise!!” She blurted.

“Honey! What are you doing here?” He asked and got up from his chair and went to her. He gave her a hug and a kiss.

“Are you surprised?” She asked, smiling.

“Of course! You didn’t say that you are coming. I thought you were at your parent’s house?” He asked again.

“Yeah, but you know my father. I better leave that to having an uncomfortable discussion with him.” She answered, a slight sadness on her face.

“Wait, what happened? Tell me, hon.” He insisted.

“Not that much. He told me that I have to be back at work in two days.” She frowned.

“Why so sudden? And I thought you still have until next week?”

“You know my Dad. But is it alright for you? I cannot make you good meals.” She grinned.

“I want you to rest a bit but what can I do? Do you want me to talk to him? Convince him to give you more time?”

“No. No. I know you cannot change his mind. Just let it.”

“Okay if that’s what you wish. Come here. I miss you!” He grabbed her but she tried to get away from him. They are in the office.

“Are you serious now? We are in your office, naughty man!” She laughed.

“So what?” He pulled her again and locked in his arms. He gave kisses on her face and finally kissed her lips like a thirsty baby. A knock on the door separated them.

“Yes, Irene?” He asked

“Sir, i just want to remind you about your meeting with Mr. Ganges in thirty minutes.” A voice from outside, that’s his secretary.

“Okay, Irene i will be there.” After he said that, they heard her footsteps walking away.

“See? Nearly!” She hit his arms then they both laughed.
