A few months later
“Jesus, George stop,” I say and walk out of the shower. I put a towel on my body and I run to the bedroom. We are on our honeymoon for two days now and I won’t lie, two days we are in the room. No walks, no tours, nothing. He has had me locked in the room since we entered the hotel room.
I have never been to Morocco and I’m dying to see the outside.
“What happened sweetheart?” He says walking out of the bathroom. When he is behind me caressing my shoulders I walk away
“How are you doing that? For two days you haven’t let me breathe. Where do you find this stamina?”
“I married the most beautiful woman in the world. I'm on my honeymoon and I want to enjoy my wife. What is wrong with that?” He says smiling
“We can spend time in bed back home too. I’m for the first time to Morocco and I want to see and outside from the hotel room” I say and he laughs
“Ok, ok. Get dressed, I’m taking you out for dinner” he says and I jump into joy
“Thank you”
“I don’t want to hear complain on our honeymoon”
“I’m not complaining. But we aren't in Morocco every day”
“Ok. Be ready soon” he says and he looks at his suitcase.
I look my options too and I decided to wear a maxi airy floral black dress with flat sandals and I left my hair down. When I finish with my makeup and hair I walk out of the bathroom and I see George in a linen beige suit
“God, you look hot in whatever you wearing. How is that possible?” I say and I’m wearing my earrings
“Thank you, sweetheart. You look gorgeous in that dress. The gypsy style suits you” he says and he hugs from behind. Oh no. I leave his embrace
“I’m ready,” I say and I grab my clutch. He is laughing and shaking his head
“Ok let’s go,” he says and he takes my hand.
“Tonight we will eat here at the hotel and later we will walk around. I promise tomorrow we will go for a tour in a car in the most known areas”
“I’m fine with it. Is it enough that we are out of the room” I say and he laughs. He pushes me on the elevator wall
“You don’t like me with your husband alone?”
“I like it. But you didn’t pay a honeymoon to Morocco to spend all the ten days in the hotel room.”
“I don’t care about the money when you are with me my beautiful wife,” he says and he kisses me sweetly
“You paid for my dream honeymoon. I want to enjoy my stay here by seeing Morocco with you. When we return to our hotel room you can have your wife all night. At day is bad that I want to spend my time outside the hotel room?” I say innocently. He kisses me again and then the elevator door open
“No is not. I promise to give you whatever you want. And I will” he says and takes my hand. We walk to the hotel restaurant. They have international cuisine but we chose to try the local cuisine. We order Tajin. It is the most legendary Moroccan dish, so popular that it is almost impossible not to try it if you are in the country. Also Couscous, Bastilla, Zaaluk, and Charitra. I had done my research before we came. Here are the five foods you should eat if you are in Morocco. For dessert, we tried M’hanncha. A syrupy dessert with crispy leaves based on almond paste.
“Oh, God. Everything was delicious. I’m full” I say touchingly my belly
“Yeah. I don’t think I ate so much before. And the dessert that they suggested is delicious.”
“And different. I read those syrupy desserts are famous in Eastern countries”
“Do you want to go for a walk?”
“Yes please,” I say and we exit the hotel. Is the first time since we came that I stepped outside the hotel. We walk around and see a few shops and tourist places and return to the hotel. It’s late so we couldn’t go somewhere else. But the next morning as he promised he arranged a car to tour us to the city. And he kept his promise all the days we were there. When the day to leave came I didn’t want to leave. Morocco is so magical. I never forget my honeymoon.
After ten days we returned to California, I had two days more off from work so I stayed home to fix our clothes. George when we returned the next morning had an important meeting and he fell deep as soon as we came back.
Today is my first day at work after my honeymoon. I take my bag and the gifts I take to the girls and George drives me to the hospital.
“Are you excited to see the girls?”
“Very. I’m dying to show them their gifts”
“They will love them,” he says and kisses my hand. I rest my head on the car seat and I look at my husband. My husband sounds like a lie. My husband, but sounds good.
A year ago I was suffering from Ryan, I thought I would never be happy again, and I will never smile again. I will never dream again. But here I am with a stupid smile on my face, happier than ever and already dreaming of a future with George. A house is full of children running up and down in our home. Home is a simple word but with so much meaning. I had years to feel a place my home. And now I have my home, my love, my happiness.
“Sweetheart? We are here.” I hear George saying
“Already?”
“What you were thinking Amby?”
“You. Me. How my life became so beautiful with you in it” I say smiling, he leans on me and kisses me
“My life is more beautiful with you in it too Amby. I love you”
“I love you too. Before I met you I believed that I would not find my home. But I finally found it. You are my home” I say and he smiles. He takes both of my hands in his and he kisses them.
“I want to tell you something but don’t freak out. Ok?” He says and he looks at me worried
“Baby you can tell me everything,” I say smiling
“I know. Just what I will tell you will seem hasty to you” he says and he kisses my hands again
“I do not want to stress you. And I want you to be ready”
“Baby, what’s wrong?”
"I want when you are ready to start a family,” he says casually with a smile and he looks at me with hope. Family, of course, I want a family with him. He starts looking at me worried and then I smile. I cup his face
“Of course, I want a family with you, baby. I will be the happiest woman on earth if I have children with you” he releases a breath of relief and I kiss him.
“Don't you think it's early?” He asks
“We love each other and we married in less than a year together. Is never too early for us baby” I say
“You’re right.” He kisses me
“I love you”
“I love you too George. I can’t wait to have your baby” We kiss again softly and sweetly.
“I have to go in. And you’re late for your meeting” I say and he smiles. After a few more kisses and hugs, I walked inside the hospital and he went to his office.
God, I was smiling all day like a fool.
