CHAPTER IX: COMMITMENT
The sun on my back woke me up. I knew exactly where I was and with who. And I couldn't help but smile. I was snuggled next to him, my head buried in his neck. I didn't open my eyes. I was extremely happy. The only sounds were the birds chirping outside, our breathings and our heartbeats. His arms were locked around me and it felt easy and natural. His fingers trailed the contours of my spine and I knew that he knew that I was awake. I smiled and I kissed his throat.
I heard him sigh. "This is wrong, onna." He simply said. I opened my eyes and I propped myself up on my elbow to see his face. His eyes were closed. I frowned. "What do you mean?"
He opened his eyes and touched my neck, I flinched in pain. He flinched too. "What the h-" I couldn't finish. He interrupted me. "Yesterday I told I would not commit to you, remember?" I just nodded. He sighed again. "That mark on your neck means that I actually did."
I looked at him confused. He growled. "Idiot, you may say that we're married. Now you understand?" My eyes widened with surprise. "And why is that wrong?" I asked him. He looked at me, frustrated. "I created an emotional attachment to you, don't you get it?"
"Is that bad?" I asked him. "No, not really." He answered. "Then why-"
He cut me off. "Forget it, onna." He stretched. "I'm going to take a shower". He stood and left to the bathroom. I was totally dumb founded. I simply followed him.
