KAIZA'S POV :-
I was in the kitchen, making breakfast, blushing about last night.
The first time, all our hesitation went away. Just us.
The first ever time in these 2 years, we felt like a couple, living together and waiting for another.
I didn't even realize the glass was already full. I only noticed when my phone buzzed.
I instantly snapped out of it and ran to my phone.
It was Dad. Before I could answer, the call had already ended.
I was about to call him back when a notification popped up.
He messaged me that he'll be staying there for a little longer.
His choice. Let him do whatever he wants, because he was only forced to handle the company at an age when he shouldn't have had to.
Now he has me, us. What is there to worry about now?
I threw my phone onto the sofa. It landed with a quiet noise. I ignored it and went back to my work.
ASTHERIEN'S POV :-
I woke up messy.
Clothes on the wooden floor, sunlight dripping through the glass window right onto my face.
I forced my eyes close, trying to stop that light, but it had to wake me up.
I couldn't sleep anymore, so I chose to get up.
For a moment, I didn't realize what state I was in.
Hair messy, like I had just fought a whole war with it. Only wearing a shirt, half of the buttons open, revealing my bright skin.
One sleeve was slipping off my shoulder. I didn't bother to pull it back up.
Instead, I let it slip down. The blanket covered my smooth, toned legs.
I ran my hand through my hair. I had totally forgotten why it was like this right now.
Then I noticed my broken nail.
And then I remembered that it had broken last night while digging my nails into his skin.
The moment I realized it, I buried myself in the blanket.
I could feel my cheeks burning.
How am I going to face him today?
We did that last night, but what about now?
Agh!! Okay, I have to act normal!!
It was nothing. After all, we've been married to each other for 2 years now!
I tried to stand up when he suddenly came in.
He didn't say anything for a second, and neither did I.
"You're awake?" he asked.
"Yes. I guess?" What kind of stupid question is that?
"Breakfast is ready."
I just nodded.
But he didn't leave. Instead, he tilted his head a little and stared at me.
I didn't do anything.
"You look pretty," he suddenly said.
I mean, that is true, but this suddenly?
I couldn't help but blush.
"I'll be waiting outside."
"Coming!" I replied.
----------------------------------------
I changed into good clothes, at least presentable.
I sat at the table, right opposite him. I could feel his gaze on me.
"It's better to eat your food rather than stare at me," I said.
"Yep, that's what I did last night," he said casually.
I almost choked on my food.
"Calm down! I'm not doing it now!" he added.
I just gave him a dark stare.
His mischievous grin only grew wider.
Just one night, and he'd become even more shameless.
----------------------------------------
After breakfast, he went to his office, and I went to a project meeting.
I was happy all day, remembering something that I definitely shouldn't be thinking about right now.
Oh shit! I'm in the middle of a meeting!
I only realized when they had already called my name three times!
Agh!
I slightly shook my head and forced myself to focus on the meeting.
-----------------------------------------
Later that night.
At home. No one, obviously. Like he's going to stay at his company forever!
Although, everything feels easy now.
Enough to love, live, and care.
