Chapter 18: Surprise!

It has been a month since that night in the club. Luxella was getting ready for her university, as Kai showered. Her exams were coming close. And she wasn't prepared because of the leave she has taken for her wedding. She was thinking pulling one or two all-nighters, so she can fall back in the line with every one else. If Kai let her. Because he had other plans for her most of the nights. She blushed at her thoughts.

Kai came back from the shower wearing a deep gray Armani suit. She was still amazed how she got such a handsome husband. She was extremely grateful for having such an amazing man as her husband. So she arranged something special for him, to thank him for being so patient and loving to her. It was going to be a surprise for him.

"Kai,"

"Hm."

" Can you come home early ?" Her eyes were cast downward.

"Why? Anything special?" Her head shot upward as she contemplated if he knows what she's planning.

"Nope, just wanted you to come home early. It's been long since we just cuddled on the couch and watched movies." she didn't tell him because she wanted to surprise him.

"Okay. I'll be here," He said standing standing up and picking up his phone, "Oh before I forget Lux , on Saturday night there is a formal party and unfortunately we have to be there ."

"Um , Okay" Luxella has gone to plenty of these so she had the idea how boring it was going to be. Maybe with Kai there it won't be so boring. She got up and collected all the things of Kai like his wallet, his keys and his sunglasses. She walked him to the door and kissed his cheek and he returned it with a kiss on her temple. (ezbl: I absolutely love it when a guy kiss his girl on forehead or temple.)

"See you tonight," said Kai opening the door.

"No, see you this evening. You have to come early."

"Yeah, yeah I will. Be safe in University."

Luxella closed the door as Kai left and went to their room to collect her things for university. Mia was coming to pick her up. Today she was dressed in black skinny jeans, a button down red chiffon top and black flats. Her blondish white hair were up in a ponytail with minimal makeup on her face. She put her laptop in her bag and took all her accessory things just as phone ringed. Mia was here. (Ezbl: her uni friend)

"Hello, yeah Mia I'll be right there." she said in the phone as she descended down the stairs.

Mia was sitting in her black convertible BMW with now purple streaks in her black hair with a Starbucks latte in her hand and handed Luxella another one.

"Ah thanks! You are a life-saver" said Luxella as she took a sip and sighed, " Hmm."

"What? Didn't get some from hubby today?" She asked with a teasing smile on her face.

" Mia! How many time have i told you to not say things like this!" Her face was as red as a tomato.

" I was talking about coffee. You dirty minded wifey!" They both knew she was not talking about that but Luxella just opted for a "Shut up." They caught up on all the things till their way to the university.


It was 5 pm and Luxella was in the kitchen, making a special dinner for Kai. He would probably be here by 6 or 6:30 and she wanted to be fully ready before he came. She was almost done so she went to their room, took a relaxing bath and them emerged out feeling soothed. Warm baths tends to do that to you. She got dressed in a cute grape colored dress. It was off the shoulder, with lace and dark purple embroidery on the chest region. It came to her mid-thighs. She got her hair in an up-do and few strands framed her face. Light make-up involving some blush, highlighter and lipstick was on her face. Her ears were adorned were circle-threader ear-rings. Luxella put on matching peep-toe platform heels. Overall she was satisfied with her look.

It was 6:28. 'Kai would be here any minute now,' she thought excitedly. She set the table, lit up the candles and and sprinkled the petals on the floor. She sat on one of the chairs of their dinning table for six. She glanced at the clock and it was 6:45. Luxella arranged the flowers in the vase. She started scrolling through the social media. When she looked up at clock, it read 7:20.

'Maybe he's stuck in traffic.' she convinced herself. She sent him a text asking when he'll come back but got no reply. It was now 8 o'clock and there was no sign of Kai. She put her head on the table as a single tear ran down her cheek, followed by many other. The poor girl cried herself silently to sleep with her head still on the glass table.

On the other side, Kai was sitting in a meeting with the board members. He kept thinking that he forgot something, but was not able to remember it. He even asked his PA if there was something that he missed but she told him that he has done everything today in his schedule. The meeting ended at nearly 9:50 . He was cranky because the board members extended the meeting so long. He checked his phone while coming to pick up his coat from his room, when he saw the message from Ella. Suddenly he remembered that Ella asked him to come home early. He started running towards the exit gate, the coat forgotten in his room. He drove like a maniac and when he saw the time, it was nearly 10:25.

"Oh shit! I'm screwed." he muttered to himself. He locked his car and went to the top floor by the lift. He opened the door with his keys and his mouth dropped open at the sight of petals and candles all over the place. He followed the trail and reached the small dining room they've set up. There what he saw made his heart broke and he got angry at himself. His wife was dressed up beautifully but her cheeks were tear-stained and her head was on the table. It looked like she went to sleep while waiting for him.

He remembered something suddenly.

FLASHBACK:

"Kai,"

"Hm."

" Can you come home early ?" Her eyes were cast downward.

"Why? Anything special?" Her head shot upward as she contemplated if he knows what she's planning.

"Nope, just wanted you to come home early. It's been long since we just cuddled on the couch and watched movies." she didn't tell him because she wanted to surprise him.

"Okay. I'll be here."

He wanted to hit himself for forgetting something his loving wife asked. It was such a simple request. But the damage has been done now. He put his things aside and went to the table and picked up Luxella bridal-style and carried her to their room. There he changed her clothes, removed her shoes , cleaned her face with wet make-up wipes that she kept in the bathroom and tucked her into the seemed she was really tired from all the preparations she has done for him because she didn't wake up even once.

He felt like the biggest jerk in the entire world.

After getting changed, he went to the dining room and put all the food in the fridge. There he saw chocolate mousse as dessert. Lux had really outdone herself today and all the hard-work was for nothing just because of him. Then he went to bed also and took her in his arms. He kissed her forehead and muttered 'sorry' several times before finally going to sleep. He was going to face the consequences of his actions tomorrow.


It seemed like Lux had other plans because when he woke up, she was already gone to her university. There was breakfast sitting on the table, waiting for him. She still made him breakfast even though she was angry. Kai felt even more guilty. He was in a very sour mood when he came to his office and his secretary got reprimanded twice till 11 and the day was just starting. Tala came to his room.

"Hey buddy. What crawled up your ass and died today?" He asked taking a seat opposite to Kai.

"None of your business." was the curt reply he got.

" Come on. Tell me. Maybe I can help you." After some more convincing, Kai agreed and told him the whole story of yesterday.

At the end, Tala let out a low whistle.

"I screwed up bad." said Kai miserably.

"That's what she said." Tala replied grinning but his grin disappeared when Kai shot him a glare. " Okay so now you have to apologize to her in a very romantic way. I've got a plan. But it requires a bit hard-work. Are you up for it?"

'I'm up to everything if it means that Lux will quit being angry with me.' He thought but replied with only a "Hn. Speak."
