Chapter 21
The couples were on their way back to their home. Their little honeymoon trip was unfortunately over. That means back to work-life, unfortunately!!
"Hey, what are you thinking?" Fiona asked interrupting Justin's thoughts.
"About how I would like to spend my time with you instead of working." He blurted out sadly.
"Oh come on, I thought you were a workaholic." She quoted nudging him slightly.
"Yes! But that was before you entered my life", he gives her a peck.
"Sir, ma'am, please fasten your seat belts, we are about to depart" the air hostess informed them.
Both of them gave her a nod.
"So where were we...? Oh yes, how you came into my life and I don't feel like working anymore, instead I want to spend my time with you." he winked.
"You make it sound like a bad thing," she stated shaking her head.
"Nope, I do not, you made my priorities changed within 3 weeks, whereas my mom and dad have been trying for years"
"Well then I am glad that I accomplished the mission impossible." she did a fist pump in the air.
"Well, you might be dancing out of joy as you are going back to work?" he asked her teasingly.
"How much ever I love to work, I wish this vacation could be extended. "
"What! You Fiona Carter, who married this workaholic to save her job want to extend her holiday, "he gave her a shocked look.
She started laughing "Hey! I love the holidays. I wouldn't have married you if your dad hasn't threatened me about making my resume look bad."
"I am sorry about that," he said looking guilty.
"No, I am sorry. I didn't want you to feel guilty. To be honest excluding the first week of our marriage, I did enjoy my time with you."
"Really?"
Fiona answered him by kissing Justin cheek.
"Aw, I expected more," he whined like a kid.
"No, uh, you are only getting cheek kiss from me, nothing more;" she tucked her tongue out.
"Is that challenge?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Now that you ask, then yes, it's a challenge," she winked with a smirk.
"Aw, I think someone is going to be a sore loser," she said in a sing-song manner looking at Justin's shocked face.
"Who me? Not a chance. In fact, I have an idea."
"What idea?" she asked curiously.
"Who will initiate the kiss would lose," Justin said with a smirk.
"Cool," she shrugged casually.
Justin was frowning at her casual response. "You are going to lose, you know that right?"
"We will see about that," she said innocently which made her look adorable.
Justin needs to think of something to make her loose. He thought of a plan which brought an evil smirk on his face.
"Okay Wify"
"Whatever evil plan you are thinking Mr. Devil it's not going to work on me," she said cheekily.
"Well, when the plan is made by the genius evil Justin then yes, it is 200 percent going to work"
"You are so full of yourself. And by the way when you have an opponent's name Fiona than 300 percent sure it's not going to work," she said it with a shrug.
Fiona really wanted to laugh at Justin's face. He doesn't know her will power. She knows that his evil mind was making some plans to make her loose. But little did he know her.
The plane ride was long. He tried different ways of seducing her. And it was an epic failure on his behalf.
To get her attention Justin even flirted with that slutty air hostess who was drooling over her husband knowing that he is married to the girl beside her. But poor him there also he got no response from Fiona. She did want to strangle that girl for flirting back, but she was one step ahead of him.
When he shamelessly started complimenting her service Fiona came up with a lovely plan. If he can play dirty and then so can she.
The best part of playing dirty in her dictionary is acting indifferent to his tactics.
He was trying all sorts of ways to grab her attention, but Fiona was too busy watching a movie.
"really Fi? Nothing works on you does it?" he asked her with amusement.
"Nope, I told you I won't lose this game. And honestly try everything that you have but it won't have any effect on me."
"even in extreme cases?" he raised his eyebrows.
"yes mister, but you cross your limits and next thing that you will see is my lawyer." she laughed "geez, there is no. Winning from you." he shakes his head.
"I know" she shrugged her shoulders casually.
Surprisingly Justin kissed her softly.
"What happened to your game. Lost your own battle?" she asked him with wide eyes.
"I don't see this as a loss. Wither way I won," he said while closing his eyes.
The rest of the plane ride they both slept. Sitting in one place for hours can make you tired.
When they landed at the airport they collected their luggage, took a cab, and headed to their home.
The ride was not too long as the roads were empty. When they both were in front of the door, they heard faint noises. The noise was coming from inside the house.
"Is there someone inside the house?" Fiona asked worriedly.
"No clue! It couldn't be Grace, as I asked her to join us from tomorrow. It cannot be mom and dad as they would like us to take some rest." He stated.
Fiona gulped in fear.
"Hey! You have me here. Don't worry!" he assured her by squeezing her hand.
Justin holds her hand while turning the knob of the door. When he opened the door...
"Bloody hell," Fiona and Justin both said in unison.
