We walked in silence to our suite; and I found it perfect. Yes there were times when me and Ben would just be silent like this; we didn't need to talk sometimes. We were so comfortable around each other that we could be like this; however Ben finally broke the silence when he opened the door to our suite and he stopped me just as I was about to walk in.
"What?" I asked in confusion.
"Not like that" he smiled.
"What do you mean?" I replied. "Not like what?" I added.
"Like this" he grinned and before I could say or do anything he quickly dropped my left hand and picked me up into a bridal hold.
"What on Auradon-" I started in shock. "Ben you are still healing" I reminded him.
"I know" he simply said as he started to carry me into the room. "But this is a wedding tradition; and I wanted to do it" he advised as he kicked the door shut.
"I see" I noted. "So no use fighting you on it then?" I teased.
"Nope" he chuckled as he carried me to our bed and he carefully placed me down. I then watched as he quickly turned to walk back to the door; and my eyes widened in shock at the scene in front of me. There was candles lit all around the room; and the curtains and the blinds were all closed in our suite. A slow piece of music began to play and I noticed that the dinning table in our suite was set up for a meal.
"Ben what is this?" I enquired as I watched my perfect husband walking back towards me after locking our suite door.
"I asked Mrs Potts to make us a romantic meal" he explained.
"Why?" I said.
"Well I would like our first night together at home as husband and wife to be perfect" he stated as he sat down on my left hand side.
"I see" I noted. "It would appear that someone has been scheming" I teased.
"Yes" he teased back as me and Ben's arms snaked around each other. "But only to spoil my perfect wife" he added fondly as he reached up with his right hand and he swept some look hair behind my right ear.
"I suppose I better let you off" I said. "As that wouldn't be a good start to our marriage" I chuckled.
"No it wouldn't" he chuckled back. "But I am sure that we would have been able to talk things through" he added mock seriously.
"Yes" I answered back in the same tone. "But it is a good thing that we don't have to talk about it" I stated as mine and Ben's face began to gravitate towards each others.
"Good" he muttered as he brushed his nose against mine before he pressed a tender kiss against my willing lips. "Let's get seated my love" he said as his eyes burned into mine.
"Ok husband" I stated and we both broke apart and stood up from the foot of our bed. We then started to make our way towards the table; however as I was just about to get to my seat Ben quickly stepped forward and pulled my chair out for me. "Thank you" I said as I sat down in my chair.
"Your welcome" he replied as he pushed my chair in for me before walking around the table and dropping into his own seat.
"Ready your majesty?" I heard Mrs Potts call. "Lady Mal?" she added.
"Yes!" we said together; and I watched as Mrs Potts entered the suite through the side door with two plates in her hands. She then quickly walks up to our table and places the plates down in front of us to see a large pile of spaghetti bolognaise and meatballs waiting for me.
"Yum yum" Ben chuckles as Mrs Potts quickly left us to our own devices as Ben opened a bottle of red wine.
"Ben-" I began as he started to pour us both some wine as I picked up my knife and fork.
"Mal" he answered as he set the wine down next to the plate of garlic bread that had already been waiting for us.
"Are we treating this as our wedding night?" I dared to ask; and I watched as his eyes widened slightly at this question.
"I believe so" he confirmed. "Is that ok?" he offered.
"That's more than ok" I answered back fondly as I started to spin my spaghetti with my fork. "Pretty perfect actually" I winked at him before I took a bite of my food.
"Just like you" my beautiful husband stated.
"Just like you" I smiled back at him. We both then went on to have a lovely meal; and as we did this I started to think about the situation that me and Ben currently found ourselves in. Yes I hated the fact that this situation had happened by there was a very small part of me that was glad that it had. I felt closer to Ben; and I couldn't wait to spend tonight and the rest of my life with him.
