.
The next day. At Gideon's apartment .
"Augh. My head." she giggles besides him.
" Are you seriously laughing at me right now?
Gideon should have known the way to her smile is his misery.
"I get the killer headache from the hangover, buy what's with the sore and bruises all over my body?
Oopsie Cara seems to be guilty.
As after Gideon kissed Cara. Cara punches him on the face. And he falls on the floor. But Gideon is unaware of all the bruises on his body.
"You might have walked into rubbish bin....or two, when I found you in the back alley last night. It wasn't a pretty sight."
After listening this he gets up from the chair and falls on the couch.
*Groan's*
"Just to be clear, you don't remember anything that happened last night? Anything at all?"
*Groan's*
" What did I do this time?"
She doesn't wants him to remember.
"Nothing..... You did make the headlines for cheating on me with some actress at the party...."
*Groan's*
" Smith will deal with that."
"I should get to work." and she also gets up to get ready."
"I don't think coffee is going to fix up this mess." Smith comes and tells Gideon.
" It's not. I kissed her."
At the agency.
Cara is working on her computer. While she recalls the kiss.
" It's just a kiss. No big deal, he doesn't even remember." she takes a deep breath.
Annabelle the lead role for I Married A Prince enters.
"I have this kiss scene coming up and I just can't get it right. You're married to Gideon Clemonte, you should a thing or two about kissing. Any advice?"
Listening to her talking this stuffs makes her cheeks blush. She blushes so hard.
At Clemonte Mansion.
Cara, Gideon and Mr. Clemonte are the three standing in the living room.
"You did not get engaged for such senseless news to hit headlines again. I have a beach house you two can use for a romantic getaway together where you'll kiss and make up. I'll pull in a few connections to get the paparazzi down to capture the moment. "
Eye rolls.
" B- beach house ? " Cara asks.
" Yes, you have a problem with that Black? Need I remind you how Annabelle got the female lead? You don't have any voice in this, kiddo. You know exactly why you married Gideon. If you're going to reap the benefits of our name,. work for it. "
She deep breaths as the name of beach sends shiver down her spine.
But Gideon knows she doesn't like Beaches.
"What about the house at vineyard instead? That sounds more romantic. "
She nods as he says.
But Mr. Clemonte is angry.
" Right. One of your playthings live there now. And they call me the the promiscuous one."
And now he is so much angry that he lefts the living room.
"I'm sorry I got us into this. I caused this mess, I'll get us out of it."
" No. I don't need you speaking up for me. When I agreed to this marriage, I willingly volunteered myself to become a puppet of the Clemonte's. Your Dad's right. I don't need any coddling. I'll do what I can to work for my worth around here."
" It's a beach house, Cara. You don't like the Beach."
" You remembered I said that?"
He deep breaths and says" Yes. So will you let me talk to him about it?"
" No." and she back being cold.
The next near the beach house.
"Just after the news Gideon's cheating scandal broke our, the couple is spotted spending a weekend away at the Clemonte's beach house. Is it their attempt at saving their engagement? Or is it Cara Black's way of saving she forgives him? We'll be bringing you the latest scoop." says Sasha the miss reporter.
" Are you okay? You look a little pale?" Gideon asks Cara.
" Yeah just..."
CARA'S POV
I could hear the ringing in my ears over the daunting crash of the waves against the shoreline. But even if it means having to face my worst fear, I didn't wanted to be the trophy wife. I don't want to feel like I owe the Clemonte's anything. They got our business running again, and if this is what I have to do in return, I'll do it. I'm not going let Mr. Clemonte think anything less of us than we already are.
.....
"Oh my God ! Zoom in on that, she looks sick! Is she pregnant? Is that why they got married? Is that why she has to forgive him?" again Sasha says.
" C- can we go inside?" she asks Gideon.
"Sure." he replies.
And after entering she is definitely not looking out of the window.
But after they enter Gideon comes and embraces herself into a hug.
"What are you doin-?"
"Full length glass window and the paparazzi still ambushed outside thinking we can't see them. They did kill for intimate photos like these. I'm fast forwarding our punishment. This would be " we're making up" declaration."
" O-okay !" and she stands still embraced in Gideon's hug.
But Gideon is bit naughty, he makes his hand run down till he reaches CARA'S waist and stops.
"Hand." she tells Gideon.
As Gideon and Cara are talking outside the beach, she sees her friend Aeni and Stella.
They both are shocked and waves at her.
"Friends?" Gideon asks.
"Yeah. Remember the high school gathering, I talked about? Must have been the same beach?"
They come at the spot where Gideon and Cara is standing.
"I told you their beach house looked familiar! I can't believe you are here Cara!" Aeni says.
" H-hi Gideon." Stella says to Gideon.
" Why are you being friendly to him?He's the jerk who cheated on our friend."
" But the tabloids say this is their makeup getaway. They're fine now."
He laughs " Between us? That was just a bad camera angle. I didn't cheat on Cara. Back me up here my love?" he winks at her to take a stand by him.
" He is a manwh*re." she says which gets Aeni angry and Stella in shock. And then she laughs now.
"But I guess he has his redeeming qualities too. He's not exactly what I expected."
Now they both are relaxed.
" They sound like an old married couple!" says Stella.
" We're a campfire down the beach tonight. We'd love for you to come! It's not too close to the waters." says Aeni.
" We'll think about it." says Cara. She waves goodbye to them and Stella and Aeni leaves.
Now it's Cara and Gideon alone.
"Redeeming qualities, huh?" he teases Cara. And she leaves.
At the campfire.
"Cara, we don't have to do this."
"No, it's fine. I'm fine. If we're partying with friends like normal people, people are going to take photos and upload them everywhere. It will be a good publicity for us."
" Correct me if I am wrong, but you're starting to sound a little strung up about this. Is something wrong? Does this have anything to do with what my Dad said?" he asks Cara.
" No. He's right. I'm not just going to sit around and have everything handled around me. I'm married to you to save my father's company and I'll uphold my end of the deal." she says.
" Right. It's just a marriage transaction. Just stay here and I'll get us some drinks." Gideon seems to be upset and he lefts.
But it reminded them both of the kiss they shared.
And she also lefts.
When Gideon returns Cara is not there where he said her to be.
"Cara ? F*ck." and he runs to find her.
And there she was eating a pork sandwich. Gideon was so tensed.
"They were selling pulled from sandwich over there and-"but she could complete it he again embraces herself into a hug, a warm and real hug.
"Gideon? Is this for the camera's again? Did the paparazzi track us down? "
" No. " and he pulls her into a kiss. They both are kissing each other.
"Gideon, about the kiss back out there.... -"
Before she can tell it, he pulls her against the wall and starts kissing her. He kisses her.
CARA'S POV
Gideon's muscular frame had pinned me against the wall as he slammed his lips into mine. This was nothing like the kiss we shared before. This was filled with such passion, fervour... desire. I could barely think straight...hell, I could barely stand upright as his lips claimed mine. Branding me his. I wanted to pull away, I should pull away. But all resistance crumbled as his tongue traced the seam of my lips. He pulls out the jacket tied across my waist and pulls out his trunk top. I held in a whimper as his lips brushed against the nape of my neck. But it was the very jolt of sensation that brought me back to my senses.
"Gideon....."
It was barely a whisper as I struggled to catch my breath. Neither his dark, hooded eyes, nor his heaving muscular chest, helped call my nerve down. I was vaguely aware of how he still had his hand on my waist; how the warmth of his touch burned my skin.
....
They both take a deep breath and relax.
"I- I'm going to take a walk by the beach." he walks out.
