Marriage And Love Again

Austin looked at her, “Don’t turn me on here, baby.”

She wriggled, intending to get off his back. But Austin held her tightly. “I want to get off,” Suny said.

“Hold on.” He said while managing to carry her to the front.

Suny looked up and said, “How long do you want to do this?”

Austin raised his eyebrow, kissing her with his fingers caressing the back of her neck.

Compared with the previous kiss, his kiss is like a fire, burning down things around them.

They were both out of breath and lay down on the mat after the kiss.

Suny half closed her eyes. All she can hear was his heartbeats.

The room sank into silence and neither of them uttered a word.

About two or three minutes had passed, and Austin sat up and asked her, “Do you want to continue?”

Suny said, “Sure.”

They left the gym when the sun went down.

It was well over six o’clock. The sun lingered on the sky, shining the evening glow.

Suny relished the gorgeous sunset through the front windshield. She then turned to look at Austin, saying, “This sunset is splendid.”

Austin agreed. A faint smile appeared on his lips.

It’s after eight o’clock when they got back from dinner. Suny took a refreshing shower in her room. After that, she glanced over the email Rosa sent to her in the afternoon.

“Your phone is ringing.” Austin walked in with her phone. Suny thanked him.

She took the phone and smiled when knowing who gave her this call.

“Hey, brother,”

“Did you have dinner already?”

“Yes.”

Robert then asked, “Grandpa wanted to know if you need a gown.”

Suny was touched by his consideration, “No need for that. I have someone to do this.”

“OK.”

Robert paused for a short while, and asked, “You really don’t come to D city?”

Charlie also asked her this question not long ago. Suny answered by explaining all her life was built on this city one and that her coming back might not have a positive impact on his political career.

Now Robert bringing this up again might have something to do with Austin.

She responded, “I really don’t come.”

“You don’t have to make this decision if it’s for me.”

“It’s not all about you. I kind of like this city and want to stay here.”

There was a short silence after Robert heard this. He then turned to other subjects, “About Austin, do you have plans in mind?”

“I don’t think Grace’s words are highly credible.”

Smart as Robert, he instantly got Suny’s meaning, “I see.”

After hanging up the phone, Suny looked at Austin nearby, propping her arms on the desk and resting her chin on her hand. “What are you reading?”

Austin showed her the cover. Suny commented, “Good choice.”

After she said this, Austin dropped the book and came closer, looking directly into her eyes. “But I think you are a better option.”

Suny blushed, “How come you become nasty like this.”

Looking at her blushing face, Austin cocked his eyebrow and changed the subject, “Are you done with your job?”

“Yes.”

She actually had no emergent things to do. It was just two emails from Rosa about the meeting on Monday. She checked it because she was free.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

“Can we take a rest now?”

“Yes.”

Austin scoped her up when she was about to get up.

Suny held her back, looking at him and asking, “What does Mr. Johnson want?”

Austin didn’t answer. He went back to the room and placed her on the bed. Bent over, kissed her on the cheek, and said, “I want to kiss you.”

After saying this, he kissed her on the lips, and then on the chin.

Suny was tickled by his caresses. She gently pushed him on the shoulder and said, “You tickled me.”

“Which part of your body tickled?”

Austin said this in low voice, making Suny feel like someone was tenderly scratching her heart.

Suny cocked her head and said, “The place you kissed.”

“Here too?” Austin fondled her lips.

Without her permission, Austin lowered his head and kissed her.

Outside the window was the hazy moonlight, just like the scene in the room, enchanting and delightful.

It was after eight o’clock when Suny awoke from her sleep the next day.

Yesterday she was pretty occupied, first horse racing, then boxing, and then messing up with Austin. It was natural that she felt worn out when waking up, no matter how strong she was.

“Open the curtains.” The sun shone in.

She got up from the bed and walked toward the bathroom for washing up,

She walked down the stairs and smelled congee from the kitchen.

Suny raised her eyebrows, standing at the door of the kitchen. She watched Austin frying the eggs, with her pink apron.

The sun shone on his face, which reminded her of the days when they were fifteen years old. Her heartbeats raced.

Suny stood there for a while, long enough for him to notice. He looked back and asked, “You are up?”

“Yes.”

She walked toward him and as soon as she came close, Austin kissed her on the forehead.

Suny caressed the place where he kissed and smiled, “What congee are you making?”

“Chicken and black mushroom porridge. Almost done. You can wait outside.”

Suny wasn’t the person with little sense of shame, who wakes up late and waits to be fed.

Maintaining a relationship takes mutual efforts. Since she has no aptitude for cooking, she might as well wash the dish.

“I’ll do the dish.”

Suny took out two bowls from the disinfection cabinet.

Austin threw her a glance and didn’t say anything.

Even the sun grew languorous on the weekend.

At nine o’clock, the not-so-burning sun shone in, lightening the room.

Austin handed Suny the congee, and she thanked him.

Austin looked at her curving up lips and very unusually he smiled.

Neither of them spoke. They ate their breakfast in a casual way. But the room was filled with a romantic atmosphere.
