Vivian walked out of the bathroom. The sight of her with her wet hair wrapped up in a towel made her look seductive. He wanted to bury his face in her shoulder to feel comfort. That, he thought, would energize him after a day full of tiring schedules. But at the moment he is in no mood to be intimate."Are you back?" She asked when she saw him, smiling. "You left early today.""I'll try to leave earlier in the next few days, maybe next week." He promised firmly. "Did you withdraw money today?"He caught the surprised expression on her face. Guilty, she muttered. "Right." Hurrying towards the wardrobe, she opened it to show him the new dresses inside. "I bought new clothes. You said I could use them as I like to shop. I hope you don't mind."She seemed worried. It made him feel bad like he was arresting her for something that didn't need to be thought about. But thirty thousand dollars spent just on clothes? This is not reasonable. Jaime still found it unbelievable but decided not to f
Vivian calls to tell Jaime that she's going home after her shift. With a guilty heart, he went straight home after the meeting. After seeing Juke at the door, he walked around the house with his nephew because he felt bored.The air was crisp but his mind wandered to Hodja's surprise visit earlier that afternoon. What does he want to talk about? Is there something about this marriage that he is unhappy with?Jaime believes that he and Vivian are doing well. Unless it had something to do with his aunt's visit the previous morning. Did she say something offensive to Vivian that he didn't know about but that everyone else knew about?"No ice cream today," Juke said sadly."Huh?" Snapping out of his thoughts, Jaime looked down.The little nephew pointed out to the street and then looked up at his uncle. "Aunt Vivian bought me ice cream from that place yesterday. It's gone now."Jaime raised his eyebrows, he crouched down to Juke's level. "Do you want ice cream?"Nodding, the boy said. "My
"The food here is really delicious." She heard Jaime comment as he filled his plate with food. "I'll take some home if I can."Vivian looked up at him, smiling quietly. Moving to an empty table, they sat down to enjoy their lunch. Around them, voices and laughter echoed loudly."What is that?" Jaime asked, looking at his wife's plate of food. "I want to try.""I've never eaten either. Here, you eat." Vivian said, pushing her plate towards him. It was as simple as that, she felt like they were dating, and the world seemed to be just the couple. A minute later, the image of a person blurred through her eyes, and she watched Luna pull out the chair next to Jaime."I saw you came early, but because I was busy welcoming guests, I couldn't come and say hello." She smiled. Noble makeup, curly hair, loose on the shoulders. Vivian suddenly felt too monotonous for her."We just arrived," Jaime spoke seemingly completely oblivious to Vivian's insecurities."I want to introduce someone to you." S
Vivian curled her hand into a fist. "How weak. The answer is obvious.""But a man always wants to be a hero." Luna reminded confidently. "Men always want to save women because they are the weaker sex. We both love Jaime, but he will definitely choose you."Vivian stared at Luna, wondering if she was crazy. Luna then pulled her hand and rushed forward, plunging them both into the pool.Water poured into Vivian's mouth and nose. After five long minutes of fighting death in the dark, she heard someone's voice."Vivian. I will save you." Jaime's familiar voice rang in her ears as he pulled her toward the edge of the pool. She coughed violently as she clung to her husband for dear life. Her clothes were soaked, and her hair stuck to her face.He then took her to shore. Immediately his hand brushed her hair away from her face, his affection and warmth there as if she always knew it was meant to be."Are you ok?" He asks. Still panting, Vivian just nodded, turning around to see Luna clinging
Vivian's body felt like it was on fire. Jaime's mere touches made her skin burn, sweat, and ache. His urgent hands and lustful mouth caused her defensive walls to crumble.If not for anyone else, her body was sensitive to him, easily as his lips grazed her breasts."Jaime..." Closing her eyes, she forced herself to ask. "Can you turn off the lights?" Although it made no difference since the sun had not yet set, the lighting in the room was distracting.As he moved to the table to turn off the lights, Vivian struggled to catch her breath, it seemed like an impossible task.Vivian's face turned red again as Jaime moved back between her legs as if it were the most natural thing to do. "Are you Okay?"Vivian looked away, distraught at the way she longed for him to touch her again. She was overcome with the fact that she lay there in just her bra and underneath him like a waiter, aware of his eyes, waiting for him.Biting her tongue, blushing to an even more embarrassing height, she looked
"Don't forget these." He said, walking over to give them to her. Confused, Vivian quickly took the toothbrush from him and stuffed it into a storage bag in the suitcase. She could feel his eyes on her without even looking before he bent down to sit next to her.Their knees rubbed, and something brushed past her. Vivian immediately tried to discreetly move away leaving a small gap between them, but Jaime wrapped his arm around her waist stopping her."What's up?" He asks."What?" Vivian turned to look at him. The second her eyes fell on his bright face, confusion took over, and she looked away praying her face wouldn't turn red. She remembered what happened last night, her ears felt hot.As if sensing her feelings, Jaime smiled boldly, wrapping his arms around her to bring her closer to him. "Look at me.""Are not." She refused."Then..." He was deliberately provocative. “Don't tell me you're embarrassed?”"Of course not." If he knew she was embarrassed, it would make her even more emb
Vivian went into the bedroom to organize her things, wondering what trouble Jaime had gotten into at work. She doesn't understand what the terms of his father's business are or what needs to be done to stay afloat. The simplest thing she understands is transactions. Does Jaime's position solve that as well?Bored, she went down to the living room. Plopping down on the couch, she grabbed a pillow and hugged it to her chest, flipping through the channels to find something interesting. After five long minutes of searching, she sat down to watch a variety show to pass the time. When she was almost asleep, the sound of approaching footsteps woke her up.Juke is up."Aunt Vivian." The boy asked, rubbing his eyes and then sitting down on the chair, in her lap."What's up?" She asked when she saw the boy's pale face. "Didn't sleep well?""I had a nightmare." The boy said."Really?" She asked, suddenly completely unsure of how to comfort her little grandchild.She sank deeper into the couch, J
Laughing, he tightened his arms around her for safety, lowering her feet to the ground. “Come down here, let me hug you better.”Wrapping his arms around her, he buried his face in her hair, inhaling the scent of her soft hair. She stood close to his chest."How do you know I'm in a bad mood?" He bent down and asked her."I guess." She replies. Looking up, she looked at his expression as if to say he didn't believe that reason. She let out a sigh. "Okay. I'll talk. I'm going home...""And then?" He asks."Before that, I went shopping." Vivian shrugged at him. "When I got home, I heard... um... mom on the phone. She said something happened at your work and needed to leave immediately." Her sparkling eyes looked back at his face. "Do you feel better?" She asked, he tucked some hair behind her ear."Uhm..." He thought then patted his cheek. "How about a kiss?"He looked at her, waiting. She stood on tiptoe and gave him a quick kiss that filled his heart with beautiful light. He seriously
