Chapter 5
"Xiao You just told me that she has been posted to Taiwan by her firm. She'll have to be here for at least 1½ years," San Chai told her husband. "That's good news, isn't it? I thought the both of you have always complained that you guys could never get to spend enough time with each other. This also means that she would be here for the birth of our baby," Dao Ming Si replied while getting himself comfortable on the sofa next to his wife. He pulled his tie away and threw his cuff links onto the table by the side and then gathered his wife to his side with his arms over her shoulders.
"That's just the point, I thought she would be happy too. But she didn't sound like she is looking forward to it at all. In fact she sounds as if she does not have a choice in this matter. How this is a good career move for her and what this posting would mean to her future in the firm. Nothing about how happy she is that she gets to come back here or that we would be able to hang out with each other more often or anything like that," San Chai explained while nibbling on a cracker that helps settle her stomach.
"I'm sure it's nothing. She's probably been really busy at work recently and is stressed out at the prospect of the amount of work she must finish before she comes here. Don't worry about it too much," he replied while slowly stroking her smooth silky long hair.
"You look beautiful..." he suddenly said while smiling into her eyes. His big sparkling eyes were roving all over her face before he slowly neared his lips to her forehead. Giving her soft kisses from her eyelids to her cute pert nose and finally to her mouth. "Mmm... I missed you," he told her while giving her small pecks all over her lips.
"Huh?" she said, surprised and caught off guard with a cracker in her hand stuck in mid-air, when he told her that she looked beautiful. "Here I am in my sweat pants and eating biscuits and he tells me I look beautiful?" she thought to herself. But her mind slowly drifted away to the moment as he started kissing her. "You just saw me this morning," giggling she then told her husband and dumped the cracker onto the plate nearby and then turned her attention fully to him. Putting both her arms around him, she then concentrated fully into the kiss.
"It feels like forever... Come let me show you how much I've missed you," he said while pulling her from the sofa towards their bed. Slowly undressing her, he thought to himself, she looks more beautiful to me every time...
Their lovemaking that night was beautiful and gentle and loving. Cuddling together sleepily after they had both reached the pinnacle at the same time, he whispered softly into her ears, "I love you... I love you... I love you." Never had San Chai felt more cherished than at that moment. She just prayed that every woman out there would be as lucky and blessed as her, especially Xiao You...
