Evana's POV
We arrived at the hotel reception about 2PM. Chris made the registration in his name that for my not so much surprise, Chris Novak. I knew that was J.D.'s work and there was nothing I could do to change that. I was in an emotional state that I didn't want to cause or to get in trouble anymore and would just enjoy the trip with my fake husband, but true love.
We kept out suitcases in the bedroom, which had an amazing view to the mountains covered by snow, and it would be part of the schedule to snowboarding.
The bedroom decoration was very romantic. Perfumed candles in specific points, the petals covering the red sheets of the bed and candles perfuming the bathroom, which had an inviting hydro. However, it was lunchtime and we were both hungry. We would still have time until Sunday to enjoy what the town had to offer.
For the first day, we just wanted to get to know the nearby commerce and hot spots and enjoy the special dinner the hotel was hosting later at night.
After dinner, we returned to our bedroom and for a few seconds I couldn't stop admiring the view of city at night and its illumination and special romantic décor contrasting with the own bedroom romantic décor that at night was just fantastic. I couldn't wait to explore all that suite had to offer us, but what really made it fun was to watch us making love through the ceiling and wall mirrors.
We got so distracted with our no routine that we ended up forgetting to exchange the gifts we bought. Such an unconventional couple.
TPOV
In the morning, the blonde looked at her reflection in the mirror, what a difference! The mirror reflected a full woman who had a blissful gaze since things started to get right in her life.
She saw Chris entering in the bathroom through the mirror reflection and as the usual, his presence always made her smile. He held her from behind and Evana enjoyed seeing their naked reflection. Chris proved to be a very caring man and it was a routine for them to get hugging for long periods, nor on the bed after making love, when they watched TV at home or when they did walk side by side around the streets. He was a touchy man, which contrasted with his distant way before they got intimate. Evana learned that her man needed time to feel comfortable with intimacies and he didn't like being pressed to give attention, so she learned to give him his space and time to demonstrate his caring way which always turned out to be the best thing. That was another thing they had in common.
"What are the plans for today?" he asked while he planted soft kisses on the back of her neck
"We could go try the snowboarding." She replied enjoying the sensation of his touches
"Sure, that'd be great, but how about we try to hydro first?" He suggested as he nibbled her earlobe while he rubbed himself against her giving a loud sign of what he really wanted to do next.
"Uhum…" she replied nodding as she could feel his erection rubbing against her butt as she moved her body against his as well giving him permission to continue as she turned her face and they started kissing as she could feel herself getting wet leading her to the hydro.
Chris massaged her spot through and then he introduced his hard length into as he fucked her pussy from behind. Another scenario explored and then they went to the shower box to another session of love.
"You drive me so crazy. I got the perfect woman in bed. You're extremely flexy, your pussy is tight, you are open minded and always ready to have sex. You're rare!" he said as he removed the soap on his body
"You are the one who keeps me turned on! But you have your rare skills too and that always gets me ready for you because I know you will satisfy me completely and open minded for the ideas I always wanted to try." She replied as she dried herself on the towel
Chris turned off the shower valve and without asking for permission, he took Evana into an embrace and kissed her, "I guess we forgot something..." He said on her ear
"What?"
"The gifts." He said releasing her
"Oh my god. It's true!" she said starting to laugh
Chris headed to the bedroom with a towel rolled on his waist with Evana following him. He opened his bag and took a small package and a card, turning himself to Evana, "Happy Valentine's Day. I'm sure it's still Valentine's Day somewhere in the globe."
Evana laughed, "Every day is Valentine's Day for those who love." She replied with a warm gaze
"This is true." He said smiling at her and planted a warm kiss on her lips, delivering her the gift, "It's simple, but I know you wanted it." he said making a mystery
"What is it?" she asked in curiosity and unwrapped the package to reveal a pair of earring in a form of red flowers and a necklace with some flower shaped pendants.
"I noticed you fell in love with it in that day we walked to the commerce, but you just gave up buying it because of our financial condition since you stopped working."
Evana fought her tears, no one had ever paid attention to the little details like Chris did to her. His words were really true, but she didn't imagine he would pick or remember the right one. She didn't know how to react, but smile largely. The words didn't come out from her mouth they seemed to be stuck in her throat. Chris put the necklace on her neck while she read his letter on the cute heart-shaped card.
"My nights don't seem so endless
My days don't seem so bad
I'm walking on a cloud
And there's music in the air
I feel just like a live wire
I've been thrilled through and through
Since I first met you
The stars that shine at night
Seem so more clear and bright
The world seems fresh and sweet
My life seems more complete
Through the lonely years I find my dreams are coming true
Since I first met you
I pray to the lord above
To send me someone to love
And now I know my prayers weren't in despair
'cause I opened up my eyes and you were there
Now my heart's no longer empty
Those happy days are here
My face is full of gladness
My eyes shed no more tears
I found myself a new love
At last I found a true love
Honey, now that I have you"
The Robins, Since I met you
"This song I heard on the radio, one day I was listening to old songs channel when you went to pay a visit to Yana. That song described my feelings for so perfectly that I just kept it to myself to the perfect opportunity to tell you my feelings since I thought it was too soon to start declare myself to you, afraid to get you scared. I know we know for a very little time, but does time really matters when we find The One? I'd rather to believe not. We are no teens anymore and obviously we won't start doing crazy things like the younger do, are we? Well, I guess that depends on the craziness. However, I know I'm not in my twenties anymore and life is too short to get waiting or prolonging situations we could be enjoying happily. I know I never felt this way before and I AM ready to dive myself in these feelings you evoke in me. I want to live it fully! I want to give all myself to this relationship. To this love. I'm not going away, I'm here to stay and if one day I have to go, I will take you with me. I met you and I'm not letting go of you, Eva. This my oath! I want to love you every day and stay with you for the rest of my life. We don't have time to spend. I don't care if it's too soon for the others eyes. For me, it's about time to feel and live the real love… I love you."
Evana couldn't help her tears anymore. Her legs started trembling and her heart seemed to jump out of her chest anytime. That was something she could never expect to happen to her. she didn't believe she deserved that at all. Her voice had really disappeared and she almost felt leaving her body when Chris knelt down in front of her and revealed another small red box in shape of heart, opened it and took the shining ring from it. She put her hands over her mouth, she couldn't believe that.
Chris smiled to her, it was evident he was holding himself and his anxiety, "I'm as much as nervous you. I was supposed to have done it last night during the dinner, but…"
"We got busy with something else…" she said with a failing voice, laughing in distress
"Yeah… But it's true and it's from the bottom of my heart." He said taking a deep breath, "Evana Novak, my love for you is real and I don't want to waste any more time to be your real partner." He spoke with firmness, despite his anxiety and trembling hands, looking up deeply into her eyes, holding her cold hand, "My love, will you marry me?" he finally spoke putting the ring on her finger and standing up
Evana's throat went dry again. She looked at the ring and to Chris and the suspense just got him even more nervous. Many things came to her thoughts. She always dreamed about that moment, but in those dreams she didn't get stuck to answer. Facing it in the reality was totally different. How could she marry a man without memory, without a last name? Did that really matter?
"Eva?" he asked in nervousness bringing her back to reality. His heart aching in despair and frustration. Maybe that was too soon. If that was the only reason for her silence, he could understand and wait. The problem was that if there were more reasons for her not to say anything. Chris swallowed still waiting for her response and his heart surely stopped when she looked down after taking a very deep breath.
Evana's POV
I needed time to get myself back and answer to the simple, but important question. I was standing in front of a man who was willing to stay with me. Who was really in love with me. That was something I always wished for.
However, that was a man without a past, without a real life. A man that most probably would never really belong to me, despite his passionate words. That was the real life. We say things, but moments change. We change… And then just the memories lie in our heads, mostly to haunt us. To haunt us as a reminder that those moments were gone. That life was just a cycle of temporary phases, good or bad ones.
Of course, I wanted certain things to last forever, but would that memoryless man stick to his oath when his old life got back? Would he really choose me over something or someone else?
I could answer him faster if I knew him better, if I knew his past, but… past… this is a word that is constantly part of my vocabulary. I should stop it! However, the past continues to drag me on and make me not build a proper future.
Chris' disappointed gaze just broke my heart. I hoped he knew I couldn't answer that right away. I'm not as impulsive as he is.
"I'm sorry…" he spoke in a whisperer releasing my hand
I nodded as I spoke simultaneously with him, "Yes." My failing voice escaped
Chris gave his back to me and that hurt like hell, making me grab him by his arm and turn him to me.
I could see some tears escaping his eyes after all the work he had to impress me. I walk to my bag and took a small box from it.
"I just want it if this oath is made now. If we exchange spiritual vows right here and right now!" I said opening the small box to reveal a coin silver necklace. Chris looked at me puzzled. "You have no memory Chris, we cannot marry if you don't give me a real last name. Your real last name."
"I will do anything to get my last name back if that's what you really want."
"Yes, but until that day arrives. We can marry spiritually and exchange vows of honesty, making us a real couple since we don't know when your memories will come and if they will ever come. Maybe I cannot wait all that long, so that's why I do accept marrying you, but just if we do it now… spiritually speaking."
Chris nodded smiling, "We can do it right now!"
"Alright Chris Novak…" I took a deep breath, "Chris…I don't have a ring to give you, but this necklace belonged to my late grandfather. It was his lucky amulet and he passed that to me before he died. I don't know if it's really lucky, but I'm sure it has his blessing. I always kept it like gold and I want you to have it to give you protection. It's all I have, but it's from my heart. This exchange of gifts is going to seal our union."
"It's our spiritual union."
"Yes."
"I, Chris, take you, Evana Novak, to be my spiritually wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part." He said holding my hand giving, planting a kiss on the back of my hand
"I, Evana Novak, take you, Chris, to be my spiritually wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part." I replied putting the necklace on his neck
We smiled at each other and then we kissed tenderly.
Thank you Xaori for the review.
Okay, I know I said this chapter would have the storm coming, but as the usual, I suck at math xD So I did count wrong. Or maybe the story took its own life and made me add something else prior to the storm, buuut, now on the good side, the storm will have a more spicy flavor mmuauamauauau
Thank you for favoriting, following, reading and leaving your comments about the story. See you on the next update and stay tuned, the storm will come. Be safe guys!
A/N: I suck at love declarations, so I googled something that could express Chris' feelings for Evana, and I found that lyric. I never heard that song in my life, but I played it on the youtube because I do research things before publishing anything I don't know, so the idea of the radio just came out of nothing. The story thanks that xD And then his words to Eva came to me. I don't know if it's good, but I guess both combined makes a good love declaration. Well, anyways, I don't know if I'm going to update this weekend, since I'm updating earlier on Friday, but if I don't (and if I don't change my mind to update earlier) I might update on Monday. :D
