"I found someone that I want to annoy for the rest of my life."- unknown

Dominic POV

We arrived at The Silk Hotel in Venice. This was one of the five stars hotels in Italy that surrounded by the eye stunning beaches, historical places, and nice restaurants which bring a romantic ambiance for the couple especially at night. I can't wait to have dinner with her tonight.

"This is stunning," she said scanning the view of the hotel. I can see her smile satisfied with the place that I choose.

"You love it?" I asked even though I can read her answer from her smile. Just to be proud that she loves the choice that I made. She hummed a response.

A bellman carries our luggage from the car and leads us to the check-in counter for the check-in process. I show the receptionist my passport and she types something on the desktop in front of her. A few minutes later, she informed us of the room number and passed the key card to the bellmen as he will lead the way and bring the luggage to our room.

The bellmen walked in front of us while I hold Ara's hand in my palm. She tried to release my hand and as usual, the persistent me won't let it go easily. At last, she gave up and goes with my flow. We walk hand to hand till we reached our room. It makes me smile happily from ear to ear. Now, we are like a real couple and I'm satisfied with that.

"Can you let go of my hand now?" She asked once the bellmen left the room and closed the door behind. I raised my eyebrows pretended not to understand what she said.

"Hand," she repeated while her eyes gazed at our hand.

"What if I said no?" I purposely teased her which make her do something out of my expectation.

She kicked my leg and I instantly released my grip on her hand.

"Ouch," I scowled and rubbed my leg.

"Feisty! I like," I said chuckled at her action.

She placed both hands on her hips and smirked at me satisfied with her own move that saved her tiny hand. Well, just for a while. I will get that back.

"Try me again and you will see," she warned.

"Can't wait." I grinned.

She looks around at the room. There is a living room with a black leather sofa and a small table in the middle which completed with a flat TV. A bar with drinks can be found at the corner of the living room. We moved out of the living room and walked to another room. A king-size bed was placed nearby the big window which showed clearly the beauty of the country. The bathroom was huge which completed with a Jacuzzi and bathtub.

I saw she furrowed her eyebrows and looked at me.

"What?" I asked lifted a brow tried to read her mind.

"Why only one bed?" I just shook my head at her question. As expected.

"It's a honeymoon, sweetheart. Why do we need two beds?"

"Let me remind you that our honeymoon is different. You know we are not here for a real honeymoon."

"Well, I'm not sure about you but I can assure you that I'm here for a real honeymoon," I said smiling at her.

"Are you a gentleman?" She asked out of the blue which makes me confused.

"No doubt," I said confidently.

"Then you will sleep on the couch while I sleep on the bed," she said, making me almost drop my jaw.

"No, no, no. That's not going to happen even in your dream." I said refused her command.
