146 Change of Plans

Natalie who had been hugging a very large brown teddy-bear with a jar of honey in his hand sat up and then got out of bed with the sun peeking through the curtains. After a solid night's sleep, she was feeling good and refreshed even if Alonso wasn't next to her. She eyed the bear again.

"I can't believe he replaced himself with you,"

Natalie smiled as she remembered Alonso's promise to return to their room after sorting through his emails at the office. The anticipation of having him to herself for the upcoming cruise made her feel like they were finally getting the honeymoon they never had.

"Me and Alonso, Alonso and me~" she sang, swaying to an imaginary rhythm in her mind. It aws with a joyful skip and a few bounces that she celebrated the thought of escaping the drama and enjoying some well-deserved freedom together.
