"Would you two please stop that right now?" Miss Astrid, Arthur's aunt, uttered as she rolled her eyes from a distance.It was almost as if she was jealous of me and Arthur, which made me smile even bigger.She entered the dining room and placed her right hand on Arthur's shoulder. "Seriously! When did you two realize you were in love?" Astrid inquired, interrogating both I and Arthur.I was expecting him to turn his gaze to his Aunt in response to her question, but he didn't.Arthur fixed his gaze on me, his hazel eyes piercing through my lovely brown eyes. "Recently! I recently fell in love with Cornelia, and what I had for her over the last five years was more of a crush, or perhaps you could call it a fling."Arthur's voice trailed off as he grabbed my hands and gently rubbed them. "My pumpkin, on the other hand, is a tough cookie who has recently come to believe in my love for her. She's more akin to a dramatic queen from a sopa opera." Arthur elaborated.His words gave Miss Astr
"Not at all, Aunt!" Before closing the sitting room door, Arthur exclaimed.I had finally had the opportunity to laugh. "Hahaha." I burst out laughing. "Why do I get the impression you're avoiding her?" I questioned Mister Handsome because I had noticed a change in Arthur's behavior shortly after Astrid suggested they have some fun by drinking wine."I don't want to spend time with her, and I'm fully aware that she misses me, but she's a drinking freak, and I don't think I'll be able to stand a drinking competition with her." Arthur explained before leading me to the car garage.He sat me beside the driver's seat and immediately accelerated the car engine after taking his seat.The weather was nice and beautiful, so I looked out the car window as we drove through town. "So you're afraid that if you drink with her, you'll end up drunk, right?" I asked Arthur as I continued to stare at passers-by, most of whom appeared to be on their way to work.Arthur nodded his head in response to my
"Cornelia... just go inside and get your bucket list." As Arthur led me to my room, he turned off the gas cooker.He wanted to just send me to my room, but seeing how sad my face is right now, Arthur had no choice but to accompany me to my room."Aren't you going to make lunch?" I inquired out of curiosity because I wasn't satisfied by just eating that toasted bread.He approached my front and put his hands on my shoulders before commanding me to stand firm. "Do you want something to eat?"In response to his question, I nodded firmly. "I'm starving, mister handsome." I responded honestly.He laughed with delight. "I'll prepare lunch later; besides, it's still too early for us to be in a hurry." Arthur responded before assisting me in opening the door to my room.I entered the room and sat on the floor, my hands spread wide open.I bend down and drag a brown carton beneath my bed after taking a deep breath.I decided to blow the dust out of the carton because it was overflowing with it
I spread my hands wide on the bed and stretch them out.I had a wonderful nap, and when I slowly opened my eyes, I was greeted by a smiling Arthur who was sitting beside me on the bed.As I stared at him, I slowly rose to sit down properly and I placed my hands on my chin."Don't you feel sleepy?" Arthur all of a sudden questioned me. I immediately shake my head sideways. "I'm not in the mood to fall asleep again." I responded with a smile still on my face.He nods and then returns his attention to his laptop.Currently! Arthur had his laptop on his lap, and it appeared that he was working on some business matters.He was enraged in his laptop, but he would occasionally shift his gaze to me to check on me.I sense he doesn't want me to be lonely, so I decided to reassure him. "You don't have to be concerned about me. You can continue with your business, and I'll just go downstairs so I don't bother you."I stepped out of bed, intending to go to the sitting room, after making my decla
I shut my eyes wide open as soon as I heard his statement because I hadn't expected him to say anything like that.My cheek turned red, so I put my hands on it to hide the redness. "Hey. You have to quit acting like that all the time." I said as I lifted my head from where I had rested it before striking Arthur's hand. "Huh? By the way, do you realize how spoiled you are becoming with each passing day? Besides, I enjoy being genuine, which is how I am right now." He declared. I can tell Arthur is teasing me right now, and I'm not going to fall for it.As I looked up at the sky, I rolled my eyes at him. "Mister handsome, please keep it down, and why don't we look at the star? In addition, I've always hoped for the day when I'll be able to gaze up at the sky with my boyfriend by my side."Arthur's eyes shone with joy.This is the first time I've ever addressed him as my boyfriend. "Woah! I suppose that day has finally arrived." He replied with a smile on his lips before taking my hand
"Hey! Sleepyhead, wake up!" Arthur exclaimed as he splattered some water on my face."You're making such a racket... Please leave." I pleaded while pushing Arthur away because he was currently bothering me and I needed some more sleep.I've discovered that I sleep more frequently than I used to, which was because I'm now at ease with my situation and current state.Beside. I've been having a wonderful and pleasant sleep since I started dating Arthur.Arthur paused pouring water on me for a few seconds as he waited patiently for me to rise, but I didn't. "You have to get out of bed, pumpkin!" Arthur exclaimed once more with authority as he continued to pour water on my body.I feel compelled to stand up and pour the entire amount of water he is holding onto his own face, but I restrain myself from doing so. "I say leave! And you're currently making too much noise, so please give me five minutes." I complained and begged him at the same time.Arthur let out a breath. "I want us to put a
I lie back on the bed and softly massage my side, hoping Arthur will join me.Arthur rolled his eyes and disregarded me, so I had little choice but to sit properly on the bed before fixing my wild hair into a messy ponytail.I lift my brows at Arthur, waiting for him to tell me whatever it is he has in mind. He exhaled while messing up his crew cut hair. "Why... Why do you want me to join you in bed, Cornelia? Besides, I know your body is exhausted right now, so you can just sleep it off." Arthur replied in a calm manner before touching my hair like if I were a child.I shrugged and pushed his hands away from my hair, popping my lip. "Just do what you're told, okay? It's also on my bucket list, and I planned to begin with the things I wrote most recently rather than the ones I wrote first." I lied. "Ohh. So, what time are we both supposed to get up?" He inquired because he wishes to be time conscious."Anytime!" I exclaimed before grabbing Arthur's hand and pulled him into the bed.
He had assumed I was sleeping a while ago, but after seeing my eyes wide open, he knew I wasn't.His lips curved into an uneasy smile. "I... I don't feel sleepy... or why don't we just do this at night?" As he tries to reason with me, Arthur said. I thought about what he had just said for a moment before nodding and smiling."You are correct... and aside from that, I am no longer sleepy." Before getting out of bed, I said."Please leave my room so I can take a nice bath and we can both go out for my very first bucket list." I added with a happy smile.Arthur was so excited to hear my comment that he jumped out of bed and made his way to the door."You'd better be quick, okay?" Arthur turned around and walked out of the room after making his proclamation.With a smile on my face, I quickly took a bath and changed into a pair of blue jeans trousers with a black belly shirt attached.I wore a black heel that wasn't too high but wasn't too low either.The heel was simply flawless. I add
