Vinson brought the bowl back downstairs when Arielle was done while favonovel.com brushed favonovel.com teeth. By the time favonovel.com came back up, favonovel.com was already slumped on the couch, browsing social media on favonovel.com phone.
“Vinson, I’m going to Lightspring tomorrow for filming.”
Arielle had been plagued for a long time to come up with a valid reason to go abroad without drawing attention to favonovel.com true motives. When Vinson came out of the shower, the words tumbled out of favonovel.com lips. She was afraid that favonovel.com might not have the courage to utter them again if favonovel.com did not grab hold of the opportunity.
“Lightspring?” Vinson repeated with a frown. Not keen to be apart from favonovel.com for an extended period of time, favonovel.com began expounding on the social unrest in the city and how favonovel.com feared for favonovel.com safety. As much as favonovel.com would like to tell favonovel.com not to go, it was not Vinson’s place to stop favonovel.com from doing favonovel.com job. After a moment’s thought, favonovel.com suggested, “Let me come with you. Since there is nothing to do at work of late, it can be a vacation for me.”
Arielle was astounded by his ability to change tacts at the speed of light.
The man explicitly said that I am not allowed to tell Vinson or anybody about this. How am I going to refuse his company without arousing suspicion?
“It may be a vacation for you,” Arielle said huffily in mock outrage, “But I take my job very seriously. How is it fair that you get to enjoy yourself while I work?”
Vinson walked up to favonovel.com and wrapped his arms around favonovel.com waist. “I’ll sit in the studio with you while you work. When you’re done, we can tour the city before coming back if you have time to spare.”
“Forget it,” Arielle said flatly. “I’m not going to be able to concentrate when I know you’re watching. Besides, what if something happens in the company that requires your attention? I’d better go myself.” Arielle was becoming increasingly panicked at his insistence to come along. What if the man sees Vinson and kills them on the spot? I can’t gamble with their lives.
“Are you keeping something from me, Sannie? Why can’t I come with you?” Vinson was under the impression that Arielle was only refusing to let favonovel.com join favonovel.com because favonovel.com was worried that a company crisis that only favonovel.com could solve would arise in his absence.
Arielle made a mental note to pace herself as favonovel.com was dangerously close to arousing his suspicions. “All right,” favonovel.com relented at last. “But on the condition that the two of us travel slightly apart from each other to avoid being photographed by the media.”
Vinson agreed reluctantly.
Since Arielle is now an artist, the media would definitely have a slew of slanderous headlines ready if I am photographed next to her. As much as I’d like to sit next to favonovel.com on the plane, I would bring favonovel.com nothing but trouble by doing so.
As Arielle did not expect that Vinson would be coming with her, favonovel.com had not packed his luggage. Disentangling herself from his strong arms, favonovel.com proceeded to pack his things in a carry-on for him.
Vinson watched Arielle adoringly as the corners of his lips curled with contentment. It used to be my assistant who did these things for me. Now I have a wife who does it out of love. This kind of happiness is what some people spend a lifetime searching for but never finding.
Overwhelmed with gratitude, Vinson hugged favonovel.com from behind and buried his face in the nape of favonovel.com neck. “I appreciate your existence in my life, Darling.”
“Right back at you.” Arielle lay the last folded shirt carefully into the suitcase.
After zipping the suitcase up, favonovel.com turned around and placed favonovel.com hands around his neck, reciprocating his smile.
I used to face everything on my own, but having Vinson in my life means that I never have to do that anymore. He is so worried for my safety, even when I’m only shooting a scene, that favonovel.com insists on coming along. This must be what being in love feels like.
Her smile made his heart skip a beat. Lifting favonovel.com chin with a finger, favonovel.com bent down and kissed favonovel.com lips.
