Helena and Aaron's activities on Sunday were not much different from their previous weekends. Their morning started with breakfast together, then shared their housework. After that, they were free to do what they wanted. And since they lived alone and most of the housework had been done the previous day, there was more free time. Most often, of course, they used to relax together. Like today, for example. The couple was engrossed in sitting next to each other and seemed to flirt with each other.
Wait. Flirting with each other? Really?In fact, only Aaron was the one who seduced Helena. The man deliberately kissed her neck and open shoulders so that his wife squirmed in ticklish. Worse, both his hands hugged her tightly so that she could only struggle on the spot without being able to escape."Stop it," she said in between laughs due to the tickled from his lips.It was not him if he immediately obeyed her request, especially in a situation like this, which was hi"Good morning, Sir," said Beatrice while smiling broadly at her boss, who was standing and was opening the door for her."What are you doing here?" Aaron asked, clearly surprised to see her presence at his doorstep. Of course. He did not call his secretary at all. Likewise, Beatrice did not inform him about her visit. "What's the matter?" He asked again, amid his surprise."I want to give the file that Mr. Stone's secretary sent for your meeting tomorrow. Mr. Stone also ordered through his secretary that you were asked to study it first so that tomorrow's meeting went smoothly," she answered at length. She then reached into her extensive bag and pulled out a green folder from it. After that, she handed the map to him. "This is, sir."Aaron received it with mixed feelings. He was both surprised and confused by this sudden situation. "Isn't the meeting scheduled with Mr. Stone tomorrow after lunch?" he asked, starting to open the green folder and skimmed through its con
"Honey," Aaron called while following Helena's footsteps towards the living room. He saw the woman throw her body quite hard on the enormous sofa there. There were lines of irritation on her beautiful face, or perhaps jealousy, which she no longer concealed as before. She was angry, of course. He would react the same way if a man who liked his wife appeared in front of their house. This house was their private area that uninvited guests could not invade."May I sit next to you?" he asked, which immediately got a glare from her. She did not answer him. Nor did she show a rejection gesture. So, he thought that she agreed.He immediately sat down next to his woman. He looked at her lovingly. Then, his hand reached out to touch her face but was quickly pushed away by his wife."Don't touch," She hissed sharply. Both her hands crossed in self-defense over the situation. Really, she wanted to explode right now."You're angry?" he asked again. Anyone who saw it would in
"She did what?" asked Sophie, appearing so surprised."Came to my house uninvited," Helena repeated the information she had just conveyed.As usual, Helena and Sophie's long-distance friendship was in contact with each other via video calls at least once a week. Whenever. It depended on the free time each of them had. And since Helena was a freelancer, her free time was unlimited. Plus, Sophie, who was taking her leave to prepare for the birth of Blue, their first daughter, the time they spent together became more frequent. Practically, on weekdays when Helena was alone at home, just like Sophie, they would take the time to talk, whether it was by telephone or face-to-face using video calls."How dare she!" cried Sophie, feeling annoyed. Just hearing her best friend's story already made her angry. How about she experiencing it firsthand? She could only hope that such an incident did not happen in her marriage life. "Then how did you react?" she asked enthusiastically.
"How?" Helena asked with eyes that looked expectantly at Aaron. Currently, the two were sitting side by side, enjoying dinner at their minimalist kitchen table.Aaron closed his eyes, trying to taste the food in his mouth after having previously been tempted by the smell that emanated from the food served before him. "Hmm," he mumbled as he chewed slowly the dark-colored piece of meat that was rich in taste. "Have you ever failed at cooking?" He asked after swallowing his food."I have, although rarely," answered Helena, still showing the same look when she looked at him. "It doesn't suit to your taste, does it?" she asked doubtfully and worriedly.He turned to her and looked at his wife for a long time. Then a smile appeared on his face. "This is delicious. I've never eaten this dish. What's it called?" He spoke a series of words. He shoved another bite into his mouth again.A soft sigh escaped her lips. She was relieved that her experimental cooking was success
Helena's fingers danced beautifully on top of the keyboard, pouring all her thoughts into a row of words lined up neatly on the laptop screen. Sometimes, she pressed the backspace key and repeated the sentence. Not infrequently, she also stopped for a moment to find the correct series of words to include in her writing.Helena had been struggling with her laptop for quite a long time. She hadn't written in a long time. Also, Helena hadn't looked at her blog for a long time. She didn't know how was it now? Was it getting more and more readers, or had it turned quiet because it had been left on for too long?She wrote the recipe that would be included in her blog. She also added the story behind the making process to make it more interesting. No less important, she also wrote a review from her husband so that the spice of the drama was more pronounced.Helena closed her worksheet as she felt she had had enough and had nothing to add to it anymore. What she had just writ
This morning, Aaron woke up in an unusual state.Do not be too happy yet. Everything didn't turn out the way you expected. But you can be pleased a little because the progress of their relationship was improving.The beautiful view that was presented in his room satisfied his eyes. A rare sight that was previously only his wish. Helena. Of course. The woman made his morning so pleasant that a big smile appeared on his cheerful face.Oh, their sex didn't happen—if that's what you expect. Helena and Aaron only slept together and in the same bed. Just that. But apparently, that fact had brought a warm swish to his chest. Finding his woman fast asleep beside him made his heart relieved.He glanced briefly at the clock on the wall before leaning his body closer toward his wife. There was still enough time for him to enjoy this situation. Slowly, he slipped one of his hands between Helena's body and the bed she was sleeping on while his other hand rested on her s
Keeping her promise, Helena visited Aaron's office this afternoon with a large bag containing their lunch. She made it, of course. She was still experimenting with a Mexican cuisine that she hoped would suit her husband's taste.She stepped excitedly. She didn't know why she was so happy. Her brain did not stop playing a pleasant rhythm that often turned into a slight hum on her lips. Even, for now, that tune was still there and made her cheeks raise, holding back her smile."Good afternoon, Mrs. Houston," said one of the security officers, who stood close to the escalator."Good afternoon," Helena replied with a friendly smile."Want to meet Mr. Houston, ma'am?"She nodded. The question reminded her of her first visit to this place. They knew and could guess the purpose of her arrival. How could Beatrice not realize that? "Yes. I have an appointment with my husband." She put her tote bag down beside her and began to dig into her sling bag. "And I have to le
"Oh, sorry, Beatrice, you have to see us like this."Helena really wanted to hide her face right away. She was clearly caught in an embarrassing position!Even though these scenes were in the plan drawn up shortly after Beatrice returned her greeting, it didn't dispel her embarrassment. Although the person who saw them was none other than her greatest enemy, she was still… embarrassed."You can put the drink on the table," she said again, trying her best to maintain confidence in her voice. She should not be afraid or nervous. She must be able to uphold her ego at the highest peak. Only this time.From the corner of her eyes, she saw the secretary walking into Aaron's room. Her steps seemed hesitant, surprised, and rushed. While her face showed a similar expression, plus the lines of displeasure that appeared on her forehead. Of course. The woman could not do anything in front of the view presented to them.How about a protest?Beatrice had no ri
