**Back to the story**
Previously—
Usui inhaled her sweet lavender mixed strawberry smell before breathed away the words he longed to tell since when he doesn't know. "I've missed you Misaki."
Now—
The brunette can only exhale the shaggy breathe as she can hear the soft warm air failing her neck in every second remind her that she was still alive. Soon the hold on her waist got a little loose, making her somewhat; loosen up.
Getting the opportunity, she freed herself from her needy husband. Seized some time to stabilize her throbbing heart; she turned to face him. "It's always the same, yet you still miss me." She arched an eyebrow.
The said guy furrowed his brows and soon a smile covered his beautiful lips. "Why? I can't miss my wife?" He asked mimicking the girl in front of him with his robe.
It's obvious that they don't get time for each other from the past days. So many things happened. "Let me change you idiot! It's getting cold." Sure thing it's getting cold with the only robe she was wearing. As her feet stepped into the bathroom again, the same voice made her stop.
"Don't change!" His silky voice straight digging holes in her mind. If she had the courage to cope with his playing any more; she shot a sharp glare at him silently saying- 'Don't-mess-with-me.'
The message absorbed by Takumi very well. He cleared his throat. "I mean don't change with that," He scooped a little near her. "Change in to this." He handed her a bag, God knows where he was hiding.
"What's with this?" She asked confused.
"You are going to change or are you inviting me to change you?" He said his face inch away from her.
"Hahh!" Snatching the bag from him she went to the bath room but-
"Wait a minute, this is my room. So you go out while I change." By that she shoved him from their room.
"Not fair. You don't believe your husband," He pouted. "-While I can change right in front of you." He said placing his hand in his waistband.
"Stop it..!" She pushed him out of the door and securely locked it inside.
Usui grinned and took his time to freshen up in the washroom down stair.
Time skipped to hour~
The fresh looking Takumi knocked on his room three times with his middle finger. "Ssehh… I'm knocking at my own room just because of my skill full tongue. Or Misaki and I will be sharing one bathro…"
The sudden noise of the door broke his 'so-ever-never-happened-thought.' "Missy, are you re-"Before he can say further his eye lids almost touch to his eyebrows …mouth hung low. There stands Misaki; his Misaki in that dress he bought for her.
Her slim body is clad in a burgundy colored one-shouldered dress reaching to the floor. The neckline is highlighted with small stones in an S-shaped line from her shoulder to waist and ended with a circle of stones around her waist. The lower portion of the dress was hugging her body tightly but much comfortably. It's Usui we are talking about, he will never wrong about Misaki's figure.
The owner of the dress was standing there with one hand at her waist and the other supporting the door frame. Her eyes were giving a 'what-with-this' look.
While the green eyes never stop staring at her. She didn't wear make up nor did any hair style. Well the truth is, she doesn't know makeup & touchup. So she left her hair as usual, hastily combed and semi-damped, as the smell of the shampoo is still there like a fresh fruit.
That's the thing that makes her so special, she doesn't know. In Usui's eyes, she is the most beautiful girl wearing the natural beauty that makeups itself will defeat against her.
She flicked her finger in front of his gawking face making his day dream break. "I think we're not just up to a game called 'Let's-change-in-to-new-attires." She said nonchalantly making Usui chuckled. He had a hard time to pull her to him but set up his mind to reserve that thought for now.
He bowed like a gentleman just suits his personality and the black tuxedo he was wearing. A hanky in his left coat pockets same as the color of his wife's dress, hairs just as the usual state.
Misaki chortled just to ignore his breathtaking look. Who said that it's only Usui who had a hard time? They both are doing their best to hide their reactions, especially Misaki. She took his offering hand that led the way to their Mercedes.
"Wait! I forgot my scarf." Misaki rushed to their room.
Usui stood near his car confused. "A scarf? I didn't bring any scarf." He thought to himself when Misaki returned in no time.
"Did you just fly or something?" He asked looking at his panting wife. "And what's with this scarf? As per I remember, I didn't leave any kiss mark recently." He said pointing at the emerald scarf around her neck.
Her face turned red at her husband's prediction. "Pervert! I told you I'm cold-"Before she said further he backed her body to the car's door, his hands caging her body. "Oh… you could have just told me, I'll warm you up." His face was dangerously close to her.
"Hah! Idiotic pervert! We're outside." She pushed him away successfully.
Usui laughed and opened the car's door for her. She adjusted on the seat though it's hard for her to adjust, as a body hovering over her. "You mean I can do that when we're inside? How thoughtful of you, Misa-chan!" The emerald eyes looked at the amber one, with his right hand moving to her left waist. "Us…ui." She couldn't breathe. Why her breathing must always have to be the victim?
And then, he found it. He pulled it to her front and locked her securely. "The seat belt," He said and went to the driver seat.
Misaki released the breath she was holding. Her mind is hazy, as her husband's every action is somewhat… what is it? Welcoming? She threw away the thought before she'll explode with embarrassment.
Takumi pulled the gear, giving life to the car. The calm smile never left his face. "Here you think perverted things with just a seat belt and how come I am a pervert?" He teased while driving.
"The only one here pervert is you. By the way where are we heading?" She asked trying to change the topic.
"Oh…I thought you never ask." He replied.
"Now I did."
"To a place," He answered like it's the best answer ever.
"To WHAT place exactly?" She asked with the same smartness.
He thought for a moment to play with her until they reach their destination. "Umm…to the Mars." He replied turning right.
"Oh…now you want to take me to your planet?" She asked with a smug smile on her lips oblivious to the fact that she was in to the game of distraction.
"Am from Venus." He said like they are in a competition.
And how come she'll take the chance to defeat. "Oh…that's why you're so hot!" As soon as the word slipped from her mouth, she bit her lips hard trying to swallow back the word. She wrestled in her own thought. 'I didn't mean 'hot' in that way. Yes hot means hot but here hot means the planet…That's a slip of the tongue. Nevermind! JUST A SLIP OF THE TONGUE.' She just wanted to reach 'The Place' wherever they are going.
While, the other party had a hard time in driving, he inhaled sharply and accepted his defeat. His teasing won't come anymore rather he was concentrating on how to compose himself.
Misaki in same discomfort, tried to change the atmosphere. Why should she always have to change the topic? She was looking everywhere but him which is a good sign for him as the red tint in his face is pretty evident.
"Hmm…it's getting dark soon," She tried without shuttering.
"Yes! We're almost there." Hearing his calm voice relaxed her.
She looked ahead. There is a short distance, which is gradually covered by their car. After five minutes, Takumi made the engine stop. He opened the door for her. It's really a little chilly out there. Thanks to her scarf.
"Let's go." Usui hooked his arm TO her and led her in to the way. She doesn't have any idea what's in his mind and why it's getting dark with their each step.
She decided to stay silent, remembering her slip of the tongue a while ago. After walking for three minutes, which led them to a wooden gate, leaves hanging at each side of the door. Soon the gate opened for them to welcome.
Usui took her inside, she followed but stopped abruptly after taking a glance at the red-colored way filled with rose petals ahead of her. She looked at Usui who was smiling, mentally telling her-'it's just the start.'
He gestured her to go ahead. As soon as she took a step forward, he pulled the stem that was hanging at the door at his side, making the whole place filled with different color of light. The varieties of flowers and the sweet smell giving the obvious idea that, they are in a garden.
There are trees for show in each side of their way with twinkling lights netting the leaves and stems. Usui tugged at her hand, reminded her that he's still there. "Shall we…?" He asked.
"U…sui this is-"She moved her leg covering the way but her mind was filled with so many 'what? When? How?'
As Usui brought her through the way, oblivious to her knowledge because she was busy looking at the trees and lights. He stopped at a point, which made her body bumped into his side, breaking her awestruck mind. "We're here." He said showing the spot under a giant tree.
Then she made the mistake to look, which took her breath away. Her eyes got its average size, lungs filled with air as if she was going to go under the water. Her surprise was evident in her unknown action, as she almost up to rip his coat by the tight grip she has in his arm for support.
His coat here is not the part to worry. Rather he felt the bliss after looking at her face. The face he longed to look at…The face that is only made for him.
There was a shining round wooden table with two chairs at each side under the tree. In the middle of the table there was a heart shaped candle with white and pink rose petals surround it.
The sweet aroma attracted Misaki like a honey bee to a flower. She took a step further when her head bumped into something making twinkling sounds. She looked at the source of the sound above her head and dare she do, there are crystal glass beads dangling from the tree making sound like a wind-chime. How much she can handle?
The glass beads are dancing with the air current. Did she miss it at first, each bead looks like a diamond? She forgot to exhale. There is a small constriction in her lungs. A slight tug from the green eyed, who was being neglected for some time now, jogged her memory back to the reality that she has her Takumi beside her. Well, whose fault it is to make her like this?
He took her to the table and with the same gentleman pose, he pulled the chair for her and gestured her to take the seat.
Now she has gapped like a fish outside the water. But nothings came from her mouth except the air she was holding. Does any word explain this beauty? She took the seat how she didn't know. Usui came in the other way and sat across her.
"I…I…Usui…This is-"She tried to say but a hand stopped her. He gave a gentle squeeze to her hand, which made her relax. Again. She was now looking at his angelic face that was straight looking back at her. Her eyes conveyed the message that she feels blessed. Usui got it instantly and replied with the same gesture with a slight blink of his eyes. Are they talking with their eyes? May be some parts of the talking, should have to leave for eyes.
But someone has to start…and here goes that someone is-
"I think y…you like it," He stated as he knows very well that she liked it.
She arched her brows by his voice and replied with an instant offence, "I love it," by correcting his word 'like' as if he made a crime by saying LIKE. That brought a little tint of red in his cheeks. May be he didn't know well enough.
"Now you can look at the owner," He said to his wife who is busy exploring the surroundings.
"Oh…umm…Thank you!" She said with a cute blush on her face, not to mention with her fingers-war under the table.
Takumi smiled and lit the candle with a lighter slowly giving the angelic look of her face.
Before the candle starts melting, his heart melted after looking at the red face in front of him, mixed with the yellow & orange light coming from the only source in between them.
'Can he proceed further?'
