Loving Madeline

Chapter 64 - Wait For Me

Hunter's POV

"Are you sure I can wear these things?" Madeline asked me the moment I told her to change her beautiful dress because I know she will become more comfortable wearing jeans, shorts, and anything except all types of formal dresses; I can see the happiness that registered on her beautiful face when I handed her the paper bags that contain skirts, pants, shorts, and blouses. 

"Yes, I know you are not comfortable wearing formal dresses, and you are now my wife, and as long as you are at ease with your clothes, it doesn't matter to me what you want to wear, Maddie," I replied and she smiled. And I left our room to get my laptop from my study and the moment I got back, Maddie has already changed her clothes.

I can't stop myself from looking at Madeline's hourglass figure, and I knew she would choose the jeans, and it emphasizes her every curve. I swallowed my saliva when I realized she was wearing the deep V-neck blouse, and I can see her cleavage is on full display as I move closer to her. And I want to taste my wife again, but I know we need to leave right away to reach the Villa before lunchtime. And I can't control myself from thinking about our steamy lovemaking, and it is making me all hot already early in the morning.

I felt energetic driving my car with Madeline beside me, and it dawned on me I am now a married man. I can't stop myself from stealing glances at Madeline, and I can't explain the feelings I have in my heart. But one thing is I am sure I like spending my time with Maddie. And I want to go to the city and go shopping with her. However, I realized the malls and department stores are still closed. Only the grocery stores are open at this hour, so I decided to continue driving going to Magnolia Village, and I will buy her things at one of the shopping centers in Magnolia.

I hope I will not hurt Madeline because I like what we are having right now. I can't stop myself from getting attached to Maddie, and I know there is a big chance I am going to make her feel bad by the time she will find out I will transfer to another room after she falls asleep, I can't risk if she will find out about Rebecca because it would be more painful to her. I know she became my wife because of one purpose, but right now, I don't want to hurt her. I know I am trying my best to fight what I felt for my wife, but the more I look at Madeline and spend time with her, I became more drawn to her, and it should be a good sign, but I don't know how am going to control myself once the memories of Rebecca resurfaces. 

Calixto was right. It wasn't my fault that she was hit by that car. I am now willing to go to Rebecca's grave and ask her forgiveness about my feelings towards Madeline because no matter how I am going to deny it to myself, I can't fight it anymore. When I made love with Madeline for the first time, I realized I would fall in love with her. And I know I was crazy for making a vow in front of Rebecca's grave, and right now, I felt so guilty about it that I can't keep the promise I made to my ex-fiance.

I know I can never forget about Rebecca because she was my first love, and she will forever be part of my life. I understand why my life became suddenly complicated, and this is all Calixto's fault because he always reminds me I need to live in the present, and I couldn't argue with him because he was right. I need to let go of the past, and I am excited to move on with my previous heartaches and guilt, and the best thing to do is tell Madeline about Rebecca. But I think it would be best to tell her about it, maybe after our honeymoon since I don't want to ruin her mood because I can tell my wife is very excited about this trip. And it made me realized she was more excited about the beach than about our honeymoon.

Our honeymoon is all about us, spending time alone and knowing each other, and right now, I keep on glancing at my wife because she looked so hot, leaning her head on the glass window, and I know our honeymoon was not part of the plan when I made a deal with her aunt. Still, after I spend my time with Madeline in the Villa, I can't stop myself from feeling excited thinking about our upcoming honeymoon, and I know I was in big trouble the moment I started claiming her sweet mouth and touched the smoothness of her skin. And I am now willing to face reality, and I will try my best to make our one-week stay in the Villa be filled with beautiful memories.

"Thank you, Hunter." She said, and I beamed at her.

"You are welcome, Madeline." I said, and I can't wait to be at the Villa. I want to eat lunch at the restaurant of Lydia, but I want to go straight to our home because I want to give Madeline another surprise and I hope she will like it.

"Hunter, you can't give me something like this." Madeline said as she watched the sports car in front of her with wide eyes, and when I handed her the keys, she was shaking her head.

"Yes, I can, because you are my wife, and I can shower you with all the beautiful things this world can offer." I said.

"Is it because you can't love me that is why you are showering me with material things?" She asked, and her question shocked me that it made me speechless, Madeline became my wife, and in less than twenty-four hours, she had been asking me shocking questions when she asked me if I have a split personality I was stunned, and I almost tell her why I am like this, but I controlled myself.

"I am sorry, Hunter, I know I don't have any right to ask you about anything, especially your feelings towards me because I know where I stand in your life, but now that I become your wife, I think it is about time that you should know something important. I am in love with you, and please don't hate me for feeling this way towards you." She said, and I can see that her face blushed.

My heart was overwhelmed with too much happiness. I already know that my wife is in love with me because I can feel it by the way she looked at me and in the manner she responded to my every touch and kiss, but hearing those words coming from her sweet mouth was overwhelming. I want to tell her about the real feelings I started to feel for her. Still, I can't because I need to make sure that I am over with Rebecca before telling Madeline my real feelings for her, and right now, I can say to her that I care about her through my actions, and I hope Maddie can read between the lines.

I moved closer to Maddie because I can't take the painful look on her beautiful face. And I don't want her to be upset during our entire honeymoon. I lift her chin, and I am mesmerized by how beautiful her eyes are.

"Madeline, I don't know how to answer your declaration of love for me, and I am so happy to learn that you love me, but I hope you will not give up on me. It made me so thrilled to know that my wife loves me. I want you to be by my side and be my wife. I can't promise you that I can reciprocate your love for me as of the moment, but I hope you will be patient enough to wait for me. There are things I want to tell you about me, but I couldn't tell you yet, and I am asking you to be understanding, don't worry when the right time comes. I will tell you everything." I declared because I can't tell her anything yet.

"I am sorry, Madeline, but with regards to the gifts that I gave you, I want to clarify things. I give you this car and this beach house because you are my wife. And I hope you will accept them." I said, and I am stunned when Madeline closed the space between us, and she embraced me tightly. And I felt glad she is not angry with me.

"Of course, thank you, Hunter, it means a lot to me, and I want to tell you I can wait forever for you when you are ready to love me." I said, and I can't stop myself from claiming her luscious lips, and I can't hold myself from pulling her closer to me as I continue kissing her hungrily. I know what I felt for her deep inside me is something more substantial that I have never felt to anyone except for Rebecca.. And right now, at this moment, I felt so happy that at last, I found someone who can make me feel this way, and she is my wife, and I know in due time I will be falling in love with Madeline.
