THE HONEYMOON

Flirty

Shanel and Robaire returned to their hotel room. Shanel, feeling uneasy about Yvonne's behavior, decided to address her concerns with Robaire.

"Babe," she began, "I noticed how that your partner keeps flirting with you, and honestly, I don't like it."

Robaire, understanding her discomfort, responded reassuringly, " I understand how you feel, but please know that my relationship with Yvonne is strictly professional. I would never do anything to disappoint you."

Shanel, still looking concerned, replied, "I trust you, but it just makes me uncomfortable. She doesn't even respect our relationship. Which lady asks another's husband out in front of her. That's outright disrespectful!"

Robaire saw her worry and quickly enveloped her in a hug from behind. With them both seated, his chin lay on her shoulder and he said to her

"There's no need for you to worry babe. I'm yours and yours only okay? And trust me when I say our relationship is purely business and nothing more" he further assured

Shanel's expression softened, and a smile crossed her face

"You look cute when you're angry" he remarked teasingly

"Whatever" she tried biting down a smile "Go have your bath quickly so we can go out later. We still have to take pictures, remember?"

"Yeah" he woke up from the bed and began to strip

Quickly giving him a peck Shanel told him she was going to be waiting downstairs for him and left the room

..........

The couple had visited the city later in the day and took some romantic pics in front of the Eiffel tower, Le Louvre  and many other romantic  and picture perfect spots. Hungry, they later went to a snack to have some lunch. When they were done with their activities of that day, they came back to their room.

Sitting on the bed, Shanel realized she hadn't spoken to her best friend, Michelle, ever since she arrived France.

Picking up her phone, she video called her. Looking at the time, it was surely around 7pm back home.

The call was picked up on the third ring. Shanel could see her friend on the bed, nestled like she was about to sleep.

"What are doing in bed at this hour" Shanel asked smiling

"After you've abandoned me, you cannot even greet. You've grown wings right" Michelle eyed her incredulously

Shanel cheekily smiled "I'm sorry. I was kinda busy"

"Yeah busy turning sheets with hubby. So how was the experience, spill everything" Michelle sat up, a big smile across her face as she waited for details eagerly

Shanel's smile froze as Michelle asked her that question. She stayed quiet for a while just staring at the phone, smiling sheepishly and blinking.

"Yoo, I asked you a question spill" Michelle urged further

"Ehhm....... about that. We haven't done anything"

Shanel saw as the smile on Michelle's face dropped

"Shan don't tell me you're still a virgin" Michelle said in shock

"Something like that"

"Girl what are you waiting for! So you're trying to tell me even on your wedding night nothing happened"

"Ehhm no"

"Oh God please give my friend sense" Michelle sighed

"Michelle!"

"Don't Michelle me. I suppose its not your excuse of a phobia acting up"

"What can I do. I'm scared"

"How can you be scared of something you haven't experienced"

"Other's experience is enough to scare me" Shanel pouted

"Shanel?" Michelle unbelievably called  her

"What?"

"Hmm, I don't know what to say" Michelle said "I want to sleep good night" and she dropped the call.

"Miche-" Shanel opened her mouth in shock. She was going to deal with her when she returned

She placed down her phone by her and for a minute her smile dimmed.

The so called phobia was really getting in the way of her marriage. She knew Robaire wasn't daft. He was going to catch on to her avoidance, sooner or later.

...........

The night came quickly as a surprise. Robaire had gone down for a walk while Shanel stayed in the room.

Time had gone by as she was lost in the tv show she was watching. She heard the door open and Robaire walk in, looking raspy. She didn't pay much mind, just smiled at him then focused on the TV

..........
Robaire's senses weren't straight that night. After he finished with his night walk to calm down his raging beasts within, he came back in after futile attempts.

He saw Shanel sprawled on the bed in her night gown, remote in hand as she focused on the TV. She noticed his presence and threw a small smile his way before giving her attention back to the TV.

He didn't know when he approached her, but once he did, he didn't stop kissing her

............

Climbing on top her, he was already getting his shirt off.

Shanel really wanted to get out of that situation. She was saying no but her body was saying yes. She so badly wanted to stop but she couldn't.

They both got down immersed into the activity and she was equally invested, with her legs wrapped round his waist as they savoured each others lips

It had gotten to the point where both of them were close to being nude. As Robaire was about taking off the last barrier, Shanel summoned all her will power to stop him

"Baire" she broke away from the kiss, leaving behind a "smack" sound

He didn't answer but continued kissing her from her neck approaching down her body

This actions made her tingle all over  and she couldn't reason straight.

Not knowing what excuse to give, Shanel said the next thing that came to her mind

"I'm on my period!"

He immediately stopped and faced her "Period?" then asked in confusion.

"Yes period,..... it started yesterday"

"But I don't see you wearing any pad and you don't use tampons" Robaire pointed out

"Its...its just.... just..that..I" Shanel stuttered looking for a lie

"You know what, its fine" Robaire said getting off her. He was visibly pissed despite trying to withhold his anger

"Baire? Are you angry" Shanel pleaded sitting up from the bed

"Angry? am I supposed to get angry?" Robaire said wearing his trousers

He disappeared into the bath and came back after some time in his PJs. He later on climbed on the bed and covered himself with the comforter while backing Shanel. His actions resonated anger completely

"Good night" He wished before closing his eyes

The greeting was void of any emotion. Just like he was greeting his fellow citizen.

She followed suite as she went into the bath and changed into her PJ.
Climbing on the bed, she, expected Robaire to turn and cuddle her but he didn't move an inch.

Getting into the comforter, she slept with the conclusion that Robaire was definitely pissed and he had every right to be.
