Chapter 34: Honeymoon

Scarlett P.O.V

There we were dancing when I hear my dad's voice asking, "may I have a dance with my daughter?" "Of course," Ricardo says while putting my hands in my dad's hands. Ricardo bows at my dad and went to see what Dante is doing. I pretty sure he is still stuffing his face with the wedding cake. I envy Dante sometimes as he can eat all that sweets and easily burn it off.

"How do you feel?" dad asks me while slowly swaying us around. "I feel great dad. He is everything that I ever dream of," I told him. "I'm glad. All a father wants for his daughter is that a worthy man can take care of her," he says and I can hear the quiver in his voice. "Oh dad. Thank you so much for all that you have done for me ever since I was born until now."

A tear escape my eyes as I said that. "I love taking care of you while growing up even though you can be handful sometimes," he said and when I look at him I can see his teasing smile. I laugh knowing I was sometimes throwing a tantrum when I don't get what I want. "Well its time for you to go for your honeymoon. I will see you when you get back."

I turn around when he points behind me and I see my mom standing behind me and I can see that she is very excited about something. "Come on that is enough dancing. It's for you to change for your honeymoon," my mom told me eagerly while pulling my hands in the direction of the room that I got ready in before. "I'm hurt you are just going to leave me here," my dad asks my mom in a playful tone.

"You will survive. I am only going to be gone for half an hour," mom told dad dismissively. I just laugh at their antics and let my mom pull towards the room. "Ok time to change into this dress," my mom said while holding this beautiful simple spaghetti strap white dress. I nod my head at my mom and begin to carefully get out of my dress so that I don't rip it.

My mom got impatient and decides to help me to speed up the process. "Why are you in such a hurry," I said laughing at her frustrated face as she tries to help me out of the dress as fast as possible. "Because if we don't hurry you will miss your flight," she told me then gasp and covers her mouth with her hands. I raise my eyebrows and said, "oh so I'm going to go over seas for my honeymoon." "Opps! I shouldn't have said that," she says with a guilty look.



"Its okay mom I won't tell him that I know and just pretend to act surprise besides I don't know where exactly we are going," I told her laughing. Mom was about to say something but quickly shuts her mouth and I ask what she wanted to say and she said she can't say anymore, as that will ruin the whole surprise. I pouted at her but she stubbornly refuse to say anything more so I gave up and decides to focus on getting out off the my wedding dress.

We manage to get me out off the wedding dress a few minutes later and I quickly put on the white spaghetti strap dress. Mom did a little touch up on my make up and hair, and then she pronounce me ready. Just in time too, as Beth came poke her head into the room to tell me that I have to go. I grab all the necessary stuff like my wallet and phone and then left the room with my mom.

Mom guide me to the front entrance of the house where my mom told me everyone is gathered. Before I reach the main entrance I see Ricardo standing with my dad and Dante. Ricardo change out off in black tuxedo into black jeans and white button down shirt. I bit my lip thinking how he looks good in anything that he wears. I shook that thought out off my head and focus on reality.

Ricardo held out his hands and I took it. I said my goodbyes to my parents and promise to visit them as soon as I arrive back here. I let go of Ricardo's hand to crouch down until I am the same eye level with Dante. "Come on don't be sad your dad and me will came back before you know it and besides you get to play with grandparents all day," I told a pouting Dante who doesn't wants us to leave.

"Ok," he mumbles while giving me a tight hug. I return the hug. After me Dante went to hug his dad and Ricardo told him to on his best behavior and not to cause trouble for his grandparents. Dante just nods his head to everything his dad is telling him. "I love you daddy and mom," Dante said to the both of us. A lump appeared in my throat when he told me that.

"We love you too," Ricardo and me said at the same time. Dante smiles at us and went to my dad who lifts Dante into his arms.



He waves at us furiously with tears in his eyes. "Come, it's time to go," Ricardo told me while gently taking my hands and leading me out of the house with the guest throwing rice on us on the way out. I see Ricardo's favorite Audi car in front of the house. Ricardo opens the door for me then quickly gets over to the driver's seat. I open my window and said my last goodbyes to everyone. I blow a kiss to Dante who is still in my dad's arms and he has tears running down his face.

My heart constrict when I see that that I want to take him with us. "He will be fine Scarlett. He needs to learn to be independent without his parents around," Ricardo tells me. I look at him and nod my head, as sooner or later Dante has to learn that his parents can't always be with him. "Good as I want you to enjoy our honeymoon and not be sad," he says while driving off.

All the way to the airport was spent in silence as I am looking out of the window without really seeing the scenery as I am lost in my thoughts, so I am startle when Ricardo said, " We have arrive." I focus my attention outside the window and see that we are at a private small airport. The private jet is dominating my whole attention and I look towards Ricardo in shock.

"Are we-," I didn't get to finish my question as he figured out my question. "Yes we are riding that private jet to our destination," he tells me with a smug grin when he sees my shock expression. I never thought that we will be riding a private jet as I thought that we were going to ride a business class on a normal plane but this definitely surpass my expectations.

I am so thrilled as this will be my first time ever to ride a private jet. I have only ever seen a private jet on TVs never in my wildest dream did I thought that I would get to ride a private jet one day. Ricardo opens the door for me and held out his hands to help me out of the car. I put my hands in his and get out of the car eager to get into the private jet and see what is inside.

"Oh! What about our luggage?" I ask him as I suddenly remember about our stuff. "It is okay. One of the guards will put it in the jet for us," he informs me. I breathe a sigh of relief and let him guide me towards the jet. "Ladies first," Ricardo told me with a slight bow. I giggle and climb the stairs to enter the jet and Ricardo follows right behind me.

When I reach the top of the stairs I see a stewardess standing at the entrance of the jet with a friendly smile. "Hi welcome Mr. and Mrs. Giovanni. The jet is ready for departure so if you will follow me to your seats," she informs us.



"Thank you Heather," Ricardo says while putting his hands on the small of my back to guide me inside the jet. I follow behind Heather as she leads us further inside the jet to our seats. I am shock when in see the seats as it is like a bed with how huge on seat is. "Well here are you seats. Please sit down and relax as we will be flying soon." Heather made sure we were comfortable before leaving us.

"This is amazing. Thank you so much," I told Ricardo while holding his hands. "No problem. I'm glad that you like it." "How can I not like it this is awesome." He just shrug and is about to say something when Heather came back to inform us on how to wear the seatbelt and about the emergency lifeboat and such. Once she is done she left us and Ricardo made I had my seatbelt on properly before the jet takes off.

When we are able to open our seatbelt I get up from the chair to go to the bathroom. When I got back from the bathroom I see Ricardo reading something on his laptop. It is probably his work. So I went to my seat and grab the magazine that is provided on the table. An hour later I see him shut his laptop so I ask him, "Where are we going for our honeymoon?"

He looks at me and smiles. "You will have to wait until we arrive there to find out." I pout at him unhappy, as I am so curious. "Why don't you sleep for a bit it's going to be another few hours until we reach our destination," Ricardo said giving me kiss on the forehead. I can see that he wouldn't budge about where we are going so I gave up and nod my head getting comfortable on my seat.

I didn't realize how tired I am until as soon as I am laying down I can't keep my eyes open so I let myself sleep. I am brought out of my slumber when I feel something shaking. I got up and look around disoriented a bit until I remember I am in a private jet. "It's okay we just hit a little turbulence," I hear Ricardo says. I look at him sitting calmly drinking hid latte.

I calm down when I see that he is not worried at all. "How long have I been asleep?" I ask him. "You only slept for 2 and half hours," he replies checking his watch. I nodded my head and excuse myself to use the bathroom to freshen up. The rest of the flight is spent with us talking and playing chess. I was actually manage to win twice out of the four rounds that we played.

We stop playing when the seatbelt sign lights up, as we are about to descend. We put on our seatbelt and wait until the jet touch down. I can feel the pressure in my ears as we descend. I always hate this part of flying with a airplane, as the pressure in my ears can be unbearable sometimes.



I feel the jet bounce as it touches the ground. When the jet stops completely and seatbelt sign is off I open my seatbelt and stretch a little. "Scarlett," I look at Ricardo and see him a blind fold. I gave him a 'really' look and he just chuckles and said, "Humor me." I just sigh and let him blind fold me. When he is sure I can't see a thing he guides me out off the plane.

It took a bit of time to reach the exit as we had to go slow to make sure I don't bump into anything. I knew I am outside when I can feel the cool breeze on my face. I took in a deep breath of the fresh air. "Okay ready," Ricardo asks. I just nod my head impatiently. He laughs and my hurt flutters. I seriously love it when he laughs without a care in the world.

He unties the blind fold and remove it from my eyes. It takes me a second for my eyes to adjust and I realize where we are when I see a sign board that says 'Welcome to Hawaii'. I gasp; my eyes shining with unshed tears. I can't believe he remembered when I told him that I would love to visit Hawaii in the future. Never in my life did I ever think that I would be able to be here with my husband for our honeymoon.

I turn to look at him. "Thank you so much," I hug him. He hugs me back and whisper sweet words in ear. We stayed like that until Ricardo said the car is waiting to send us to where we are staying. I nod my head and let go of him but he grabs my hands and leads me down the steps. When we reach the bottom did I realize that there is limousine waiting in front of us.

"What about our bags," I ask Ricardo. "Don't worry about it the bags are already in the limo," Ricardo assures me. I nod my head and let him lead me to the limo. The door is open for me by the driver and I got in thanking him before I enter the car. Ricardo is sitting with me at the back. Once Ricardo is inside the car the driver closes the door and makes his way to the driver's seat.

Next thing I know we are on our way. Through out the ride I am looking at the scenery outside. I am so excited to be here right now and I am wondering what Ricardo has plan for us. I am sure whatever he has planed it will be fun so I stop thinking about it and let myself enjoy the moments as I am not sure when I will be able to do this again.

As the car slows down in a luxurious neighborhood I look at Ricardo confuse. "What are we doing here aren't we going to check in to a hotel," I ask him. He just smiles at me and open the door when the limo stops completely. He helps me out of the limo and gently pulls me towards one of the houses.

This whole neighbourhood is peaceful and looks seriously expensive place. There are eight houses in this neighbourhood and they are arrange in a circle. Ricardo leads me to the house that is fourth from the guard house. He takes out keys from his pocket and opens the door. The inside of the house is even nicer than the outside of the house. The inside of the house is as elegant as a hotel.



I am just speechless about what to say about this place. Did Ricardo rent this house for our honeymoon? "Do you like this house?" "House? This place looks more like a five star hotel to me. But I really like this place," I aid beaming at him. "Good because I just this house recently as a vacation house whenever we want to relax somewhere quiet and peaceful.

My mouth forms an o when he said he bought this place and not just rented it. "You actually bought this place," I choke out the words. "Yeah I always wanted to buy a vacation house whenever I want to have a quiet holiday," he says nonchalantly. I stare at him I can't believe he just bought an expensive house as a vacation house that we are probably not going to stay for more the a few days a year.

I will never understand how rich people think sometimes. "Come I will show you around the house," Ricardo says while pulling me deeper into the house. He told me that this house has five bedrooms and six bathrooms. Each bedroom has its own bathroom and one bathroom beside the living room. All the bedrooms are the same size except the master bedroom, which is a bigger.

Inside the master bedroom there is a king size bed dominating the room and the bathroom is on the left side of the bed. The room is bare from any decorations and there are only the bed, side table and a black couch inside this room. "I left this place bare as I thought that you would like to decorate it since you didn't get to decorate our room at our house.

I turn towards and hug him. He is the most thoughtful guy I have ever met. He lets me decorate this place because I didn't get the chance to go it with our house. I didn't even know how he knew about how I like to decorate things. "This is the most amazing thing that anyone has ever done for me," I told him as tears of happiness slid down my cheeks.

"I'm glad to hear that. If there is ever anything that you want all you have to do is tell me and I will grant it." I choke on a sob when I hear him say that and I am only able to whisper a, "Thank you." "I will do whatever it takes to make you happy." I stand on my tippy toes to give him a kiss on his lips.



"I don't know what to say. I am seriously lucky to find a man like you," I whisper after I kissed him. He just looks at me with such adoration that I blush as a man never gave that kind of look before. "Come on you must be tired. Why don't you take a short nap before dinner while I make some calls," he suggested when he saw me yawn and looking tired.

I am to tired to argue with him so I just agree with him and went to the bed. Ricardo gave me kiss on the forehead before leaving the room. "-up wake up Scarlett," I hear Ricardo's voice trying to wake me up. I slowly open my eyes and when I am able to focus my eyes I see Ricardo sitting on the bed looking really handsome in a black button down shirt that shows his muscles and black slacks that hugs his legs. "It's dinner time already sleepy head," Ricardo chuckles.

I blush, as I must look horrible right now. "What time is it?" I ask him getting up from the bed. "It's 7:00 pm right now," he answers. "Why don't you freshen up then we can go out and have dinner somewhere," he suggests. "I would really like that," I smile at him. "Give me ten minutes to get ready," I said getting off the bed and heading to the bathroom.

"Alright I be downstairs in the living room," he informs me and I nod my head. Then he leaves the room and I quickly went to the bathroom to freshen up and put on a little make up. Exactly10 minutes later I am ready and hurriedly grab my purse and making my way to the living room. As I enter the living room I see Ricardo is talking with someone on the phone.

"Yes we will be back soon. I will bring you back a present when I come back if you are being a good boy," I hear him say and I am sure it's Dante who he is talking to. He looks at me when he hears me enter the living room and said, "your mom is here do you want to talk to her," he says pausing a little to hear Dante's reply. Ricardo says his goodbyes to Dante then gives me the phone.

"Hey baby boy. Are you doing okay?" I ask him a little worried. "I'm fine mom. I miss you a lot," he says sadly and my heart constrict. "Oh Dante! We will be back before you know it and I miss you too. Take care of yourself and I will see you soon. "I love you." "I love you too mom," he said in a dejected voice.

We said our goodbyes and I hand Ricardo his phone back. "Don't be sad we will see him again in another five days." I tried to put my worries of Dante aside and enjoy my honeymoon with my husband. Anyway Dante will be fine staying with his grandparents for a few days.



I gave Ricardo a smile and said, "Okay lets go." "There is the smile that I wanted to see." I blush and takes his hand as we walk together to the car that is waiting outside. "Where does the driver stay," I ask Ricardo curious. "Oh he is staying at a hotel nearby and comes here whenever I call him." I nod my head relieve that the driver is not staying at the house as that will be awkward to have a man I barely know around the house.

Ricardo P.O.V

For dinner tonight I took Scarlett to one of the most famous restaurant around this area. Through out the dinner we talk about anything and there is not a single moment where it is awkward between us. I am still processing the fact that I am married again to another wonderful women. She says she is lucky when in fact I am the lucky one. I am able to get a second chance at love after what happen with my last marriage.

I never thought that I will be able to love again but here I am newly married to Scarlett who is such an amazing women. As a bonus my son loves her and she loves him the same. When we got home we decided to watch movies the rest of the night. I didn't know how it happen but in the middle of the movie we are suddenly kissing with her straddling my waist.

I made sure that she wants to do this and she gave me a shy nod and I didn't need anymore encouragement. I carry her up the stairs and into the bedroom, kicking the door shut with my foot. And we lost ourselves in a passionate embrace the whole night. The next day we did nothing but laze around the house as Scarlett is sore and I worry if I was too rough but she assures me that she is fine.

For the rest of the honeymoon is spent exploring Hawaii and tasting all the different foods that Hawaii has to offer. We did scuba diving; we went to the beach and visit all the historical places that by the end of the day we are exhausted. Of course we made love a few times the rest of the honeymoon. I am seriously having a great time spending time alone with her.

She has the most happiest reaction to seeing at all the things that Hawaii has to offer that it's refreshing. I didn't think there is a lot of women now a days that take pleasure in just sight seeing.

Scarlett is a bit sad that we have to go home already as she still wants to do more things here but I remind her that we can come here again. She cheers up when she realizes we can come back and suggest that next time we come here we can bring Dante along.



I agree with her as we can have a family vacation here as I am sure Dante will love to come here. Before I know it we are back in the private jet heading home as it feels like only yesterday we arrive at Hawaii. Time always seems to speed up when we are having fun. But its ok we can come here anytime we want and spend a vacation here as a family. Besides I miss my son a lot am I am sure he is very excited for us to come and pick him up from his grandparents house.

That also reminds me to give them their thank you gift for taking care of Dante. To past time Scarlett decides to sleep and I decide to finish some work. We reach back home a few hours later. Once the plane lands and it is safe to get up we quickly gather our things and walk out of the jet to my Audi that is waiting near the jet. I made sure all the luggage will be delivered to my house then drive off towards my in laws house to pick up Dante.

We arrive at my in laws in house about three hours later. Before I can even switch of the engine Scarlett already opens the door and walks quickly to the front door. I just chuckle at her impatience to see Dante and switch off the engine then getting out of the car. By the time I reach the door, the door is already open by Scarlett's mom who is holding Dante in her arms.

"Mom! Daddy!" Dante shouts when he sees us. "Hi baby boy. I miss you so much," Scarlett says to him as she takes him from her mother's arms. "I miss you too mom," Dante says hugging Scarlett tightly then he let's go of Scarlett and turns towards me wanting me to carry him. I carry him in my arms as he whispers to me that he misses me and that he loves me.

My eyes fill with tears when I hear that. We stay at the house for about two hours before we decide to go home. After making sure that I have all of Dante's things I put them in the car when I see the gift for my in laws. So as we said our goodbyes I gave it to them while also thanking them for taking care of Dante.

After we said our goodbyes we got in the car. I made sure that Dante is wearing his seatbelt properly before reverse the car letting Scarlett and Dante wave goodbye to Scarlett's parents then I drive off home.
