His feet touched on the new land. He never been here before, considering the fact that he was a guy who seek for adventure, this place was the last place he would come. The plane was landed on the ground of London. Unlike the contrast temperature during the day and night in Egypt, the weather in London was cloudy in the most of the time. The newlywed couple had decided to leave Egypt for a while. It was suggested by Rick who knew his wife so well that she missed England. Indeed, he was right. He knew her better than herself. When she stepped on the British land, she never thought she missed the environment, the people, the buildings everything in London. She had not been in London for 2 years since she broke up with George. She was avoiding him all the time. But now she had nothing to afraid of because she was married to a guy who loved her with his heart. And she loved him too. She knew he would protect her if her ex-fiance dare to approach her again. Her husband was finding a cab to give them a ride to the house, which left by her parents for both siblings. Suddenly arms wrapped around her waist from behind. Her beloved husband. "How it is to be in London?" she asked. "It isn't hot like Egypt and that is good. Apart from that I don't know. I don't care where I stay as long as you are staying with me" he said and kissed her cheek. "Come on. The cab is waiting" he said as he released her and walked with her hand in hand to the waiting cab.
It took 30 minutes to reach the house. By the time he finally had a look at the house as she described, his jaw nearly dropped on the floor. "I thought you said it is a house" he said. "Yes it is" she said as she laughed at him. "It's a mansion, honey" he said and she giggled. "Welcome to O'connell's manor" she said as she opened the door for him. "What?" he was surprised by what she said. "Well, I'm married now. It's better to call it with my husband's last name which is my last name too" she said as she closed the distance between them. He dropped the baggage on the floor and wrapped both arms around her waist pulled her to him. He kissed her on lips. He couldn't keep his hands to himself whenever she was around. And her soft lips kept calling for him in his mind. "Shall I give you a tour?" she asked after their lips broke apart. She wanted to kiss him too. Non-stop and continuously kissing her husband. She couldn't help herself whenever he was around, especially when his strong arms wrapped around her body and their bodies were closed to each other. This man was weakening her self-control. She had to get away. Well at least an arm length distance. She guided him to the large living room. All furniture in the house were big and made by woods. Rick occasionally let out a 'wow', this was the largest house he ever seen and ever stayed. He never had a house before. He was raised in an orphanage in Cairo. He never had a family before. But now, she gave him everything he ever had. A house and a family. He wasn't alone anymore. He had a beautiful wife who loved him which he couldn't understand why she did. He didn't think she deserved him but she chose him. With that he promised himself that he would do anything to protect this women and make her happy.
"Hello, Evelyn" a women in middle-aged greeted the couple. "Hello, Mag" Evelyn said as she hugged the women. She had hired a housekeeper after they decided to move back to London. She was a widow and without a child. She had been the housekeeper since the day Evelyn was born. She was Evelyn's nanny too. "It's been awhile. I miss you so much" Evelyn said. "Look at you. All grown up. A beautiful young lady. And you must be Mr. O'connell. How charming" she said as she looked at him. "Nice to meet you" he said and kissed her cheek. "Call me Rick" he said. "If I have to call you Rick, I'm Mag" she said. "He is my husband" Evelyn said. In fact, she hadn't told Mag that she was married. "Congratulations Evy. I'm happy for you. And your parents would be happy for you too" she said as she hugged Evelyn. "Thank you Mag" Evelyn said. "Where's your brother?" Mag asked. "Egypt. He is getting all antiques pack and send to London. He will be arrived in few days" she said. "Oh I see. I miss him so much. Anyway, I think both of you are tired. Why don't you get some rest and I go prepare the dinner?" she said as she noticed Evelyn was exhausted. "Alright. Dinner sounds great. Thank you Mag" Evelyn said. Evelyn led her way to the room at upstairs while Rick carried the baggage. "This is your room?" he asked once they were inside the bedroom. "No. It was my parents. My room isn't fit for two. Mag suggested we could use my parents' room" she said. "Are you ok with that? I mean it was your parents room and" he said. "It will be fine for them I think. Don't worry" she said as she knew what he was trying to say. She took a deep breath and said, "But I miss them. It's been five years since they..". Her parents were dead when they went for an archaeology dig and suddenly the room collapsed, both her parents were found dead when the diggers finally found their bodies. He pulled her against him and held her close. That was the comfort she needed. After a moment, she moved slightly away and looked at him. "Thank you" she said. "That's why I'm here for" he said and kissed her softly on the lips. She kisses him back. "Just lay down and rest ok?" he suggested and she nodded. They lay on the big bed and she snuggled against him like she always did. Both drifted to sleep within minutes, exhausted from the long trip.
"Oh I miss your cooking Mag" Evelyn said. "You're always a good child, Evelyn" Mag said and added some food on Evelyn's plate. "So how did you two meet?" Mag said. "Well, Rick knew the location to one of the ruins in Egypt and we asked for his help. In fact, Jonathan was the one who brought him to me" she said and smiled at her husband like a schoolgirl. He smiled back and wrapped an arm around her shoulder. "We got into some troubles but Rick managed to save us all" she didn't explain what exactly the trouble was as she didn't want to scare Mag. "Looks like you fall in love with your hero" Mag said as she could see Evelyn was in love and from the way Rick looked at his wife, she could tell this man loved Evelyn with his heart. Mag was happy that Evelyn had found someone she loved and willing to take care of her. "So tell me… is she naughty when she was a kid?" Rick asked as he grinned and his wife swatted him slightly on his shoulder. "Of course I'm not" she said. "Oh Evelyn was never a naughty child. He brother was the one who always broke the rules. She always spent her time in her father's library, buried her nose in the books. Jonathan used to say" Mag said and laughed as the memories came back into her mind. "There was a time her brother decided to lock the library and hide the key in his room. A usual thing he would do to tease his sister. When she found out it was her brother, he got hit with cold water on his head when he was passed out on the bed" Mag said and laughed. "At the end he had to take out the key because Evelyn wouldn't let him rest unless he unlocked the door to the library" Mag added. "Oh Yeah…. Never messed up with her… no kidding" Rick said and he straight away got a hard pinch from his wife. "Ouch" he yelped in pain. "That serves you right" she said. "I didn't say anything" he said innocently. "Her brother got that a lot from her. But it never stop him from teasing her. Oh I miss that boy" Mag said. "He will be back in the few days. Why don't you go and rest? We will take care of this" Evelyn offered her help. "Right. Goodnight Evelyn and Rick" Mag said and leave the dining room. "We should hire another housekeeper. This house is too big to handle" Rick said as he took all the plates to the sink. "I know. We will do it in the morning" she said as she was cleaning the dining table.
The couple went straight to their room after they had done cleaning. Since they were newlywed, they spent their time for love making until they were exhausted and drift off to sleep.
