Once Alexander got back to where Jingfei was. Kuro was tucked in his right arm while he was holding a bottle of water in his left hand.
He placed Kuro down on Jingfei's stomach and handed the bottle of water to the woman, "Here, darling!" He uttered and Jingfei quickly grabbed the bottle.
"Nice timing! I'm absolutely parched!" She spoke and gulped the water.
Alexander sat down next to Jingfei, "Do you want to go swimming now? The sun's not that hot anymore." He asked while taking the bottle from her.
"Shall we? Let's go then?" The woman stood up from the hammock and took her dress in front of Alexander, who gulped at the sight of his woman.
He abruptly stood up, "But I should get us some towels f
Wearing a royal blue flowy dress, her hair wrapped in a towel, Jingfei went out of the bathroom with a rug on her right hand.She raised her dress and kneel on the floor as she began wiping the floor. "I should- What are you doing, darling?" She raised her head and saw Alexander standing on the door."Can't you see, I'm wiping the floor!" She muttered and slowly pouted, "I should have dried my body first. Now I'm doing this extra work.""I can see that, Darling!" The man kneeled on one leg and snatched the rug from the woman's hand as he replaced it with a mug of hot choco, "Let me do this. Go and set up the table on the terrace. You'll miss the sunset!"Jingfei smiled and quickly raised her feet, "Thank you, baby!" She then pecked on Alexander's cheeks and hurried
Later that evening, Alexandria came back to Jingfei’s cottage along with Lucien and as soon as he caught sight of his cousin, Alexander’s expression turned sour. Quickly, Jingfei’s hand landed on his hand to calm the man.“Yes? Do you two want anything?” Jingfei asked and as she removed her hand from Alexander.Alexandria glanced at Lucien first before she spoke, “We want to invite you two for dinner. I know you two haven’t had your meal yet.”Jingfei’s gaze shifted on the man beside Alexandria, “I’m afraid to say this but we will decline your invitation. I and Alexander wanted to have our dinner at the nearby seafood restaurant we saw while coming her this morning.” Jingfei politely answered and she could see different emotions resurfacing in the man’s eyes.Frowning at why his sister kept on glancing at Lucien, Alexander stood up and went closer t
Heavy rain was pouring outside, the sky was tinted with grayish hue and Jingfei could barely see her surroundings as she stared at the glass window.“I think we can’t go skiing today.” Alexander, sitting on Jingfei’s bed while hugging her pillow, muttered. He then reached for the hot cocoa that Jingfei had prepared for him a while ago before the rain poured heavily.The woman pouted as she sat down the chair, “I was expecting to have some fun activities today.” Mumbling as she took a glance at Alexander.“Let us just pray that the rain will stop any minute by now so we can still do some of the activities you want to try. Is your waist still aching?” He asked, eyeing the woman who's still sulking at the sudden pouring of the rain.
Later that afternoon, after the rain had stopped. Jingfei had finally gotten out of her cottage, the cold breeze and the salty smell from the ocean met her. The tree glistened as the sun rays hit its wet leaves.“Honey, wait for me!” Alexander shouted as he was returning the board that they had used in order to kill their boredom as they waited for the rain to stop.“Come on! We still need to check from the reception area if they have some activities open for us to enjoy.” Jingfei, tying her shoelace, shouted back. She was dressed in blue sweatpants and paired it with a fitted black shirt that was hidden underneath her blue sweatshirt that Alexander had insisted for her to wear.The woman looked back at the door when she heard a click sound. Alexander, who was also dressed i
An hour and thirty have passed since the two couples have been walking on the side of the road. They should have reached the hill minutes ago but Jingfei kept on stopping the man whenever something interesting caught her attention. She would ask Alexander to take a picture of her.The two were standing at the side of the road as Jingfei was checking her phone, "Baby, we- Wait a minute, let me answer this first." Alexander hurriedly grabbed his phone from his pocket when it suddenly rang."Hello?" He mumbled and glanced at the woman beside him when Jingfei gently pulled the hem of his shirt. "Put it on speaker!" Jingfei mouthed and the man nodded."Monsieur! I’m sorry for bothering you on your vacation but may I ask
During luncheon, since Alexander is not around anymore, Alexandria had Jingfei all for herself. She guided the woman through the venue where they will have their lunch along with the rest of the crew.It was a building painted with blue and white, and was detached from the main building where Jingfei didn't know that that place existed.As soon as they reached the building, Alexandria swiped a card and the double doors opened, "Are you sure I'm allowed to join with you? Isn't this exclusive for the crew members?" Jingfei whispered as Alexandria dragged her towards the door on the left side. There are three doors facing the entrance of the building."Don't worry! You've got me and besides, some of the crew members have been wanting to meet you since yesterday." Alexandria uttered and pushed the door
Later that evening, after they had their dinner, Alexandria, who was already laying flat on Jingfei's bed, stared at the woman in front of her as she brushed her long black hair. It was already eight in the evening and Alexandria had just entered the room of Jingfei."You should have just entered my room. How many minutes have you waited outside?" Jingfei asked, turning her body around to face Alexandria.The young lady shrugged her shoulders as she raised her head and stared at the ceiling while her thumb was below her jawline. "Just about ten minutes or less. I can't remember." She answered."So, what did you and Cobalt talk about earlier? I saw him approaching you." Alexandria pried as she laid chest flat on the bed.Jingfei turned her body as
The sun had already risen up above the sky, its rays shining brightly as it illuminated the whole resort and caused the clear blue water of the ocean to glimmer like it had crystals thrown on it. Alexandria, who had slept earlier last night, was already awake. She sat up on the bed while staring at the space between Jingfei's luggage and the table beside it.Staring at the space was Alexandria's routine whenever she woke up. "What should I have for breakfast?" She mumbled, still staring at the space. It took her five minutes before she finally blinked her eyes and stared at the woman beside her when she felt someone move."Feifei!" She shook Jingfei's shoulder when she saw her crying and muttering something which she couldn't hear clearly. "Feifei! Hey, wake up!" Hey, Feifei! You're dreaming! Hey!" Alexandria tried to wake the woman, she slapped her
A year had passed since I received the letter that Alexandria handed to me during the chaotic wedding day of Oceane and Hugo. I finally got to call that man by his real name. It’s also been a year and a half since he didn’t came back from his so-called business trip. After reading the content of the letter, my whole world almost collapsed. I wanted to call him but I have no means to do so since his number was no longer available as well as is his email and social media accounts. They were all deactivated and deleted. Not even his family and close friends were able to contact him and Giovanni. The sound of the sea as the waves gone back and forth from the shore back to the ocean gave calmness to my soul as I stared at the fiery red with a tinge of yellow and orange hue sky, waiting for the sun to set and wishing that tomorrow... a bright new day... he would comeback to me.“You forgot your shawl again!” I felt a warm thick cloth hanged o
A week had already passed since Alexander went to a business trip. He was supposed to come back after three days but... not his body nor shadow have appeared. Jingfei had become worried that something might happened to him and tried to contact him but the number he was using was no longer available. She tried asking for Alexandria and his parents but none of them were able to reach him as well. Madame Heroux tried to pull some strings to ask the airport for his flight details but she only got the information of his three days flight and no further information aside from that. “You really don’t have any means to contact yor brother? It’s been a week since he left but no calls and messages or even emails come from him.” Jingfei mumbled as her eyes stayed focus on the huge flat screen.“Don’t worry about him. Alexander will comeback before Lucien and Oceane’s wedding the day after tomorrow. Maybe something had happened in
The soft mattress sunk as Alexander sat down beside Jingfei. The woman was giving him a glare while pulling the thick blanket to cover her naked body underneath. “What happened to your promise? We didn’t even finish packing your clothes.” Jingfei’s loud vocie echoed inside the man’s Alexander turned his head on the floor to see the scattered clothes of him and Jingfei. “Not that! Over there!” The woman pointed his piled clothes on top of the chair and the suitcase laying on the floor. Jingfei could feel her face burning when Alexander stared back at her with a playful look on his face. “We can just finish that later. Don’t tell me you didn’t enjoy me pouning on top of you? My back stings right now, wife.” Alexander’s roared a laugh when the woman hid herself under the blanket. “Would you please stop laughing, Alexander!” Jingfei lowered the blanket as she took a peek on Alexander wh
“Did something happened at the company?” Lucien buckled his seltbelt first before taking a glance at the woman beside him. Nymphis started the car’s engine and had a glimpse of the rearview mirror. “She just said that the investors demanded for your attendance at the meeting. I almost forgot about the meeting as well.”“Was it about the expansion of the apparel store? Or the one where I invested in a movie?”“Both! I guess? You didn’t even consult me about that movie thing.” Jingfei sneered as she drove away from the mall’s parking lot.“It was an abrupt decision. I read the proposal from your study room and just affixed my signature. Sinclaire Wise will also be one of the cast so it won’t be a problem.”“She’s not even that good so could you please stop sponsoring my cousin’s projects?” A glint of irritation could be heard from the young lady’s voice
Her eyes slightly widened as her lips parted a bit. Jingfei didn’t expect that just after two weeks since that incident had happened, she will encounter him at the jewelry store where she is choosing her engagement ring. The memories of their meeting for the first time after seven years flashed like lightning on her head. She realized that she haven’t said what she wanted to say after remembering that she just left him after he explined everything. “Darling? Are you alright?” Alexander’s deep and gentle vocie got her back to her senses. She looked up to him and smiled, “Yes, I’m alright,” she reassurely uttered before shifting her gaze back to Nymphis and the real Lucien. She stood up and plitely questioned Nymphis who was apcing towards them. “It’s been a while. What are you doing here Miss Nymphis? Did you just got here?” “Yes indeed it’s been a while, Jingfei. And oh! We we
Jingfei was buckling her seatbelt when Alexander popped inside the driver seat. He just finished conversing with one of the head chefs. As he was wearing his seatbelt, he could feel the intense stare from the woman beside him. “What is it darling?” He turne his head to look at Jingfei whose lips were a bit extended into a pout. “You should have not announced it yet darling!” She exclaimed in a low tone, refering to their engagement.“Why? Did you not like that others knew about your proposal?” “That’s the case why I don’t want them yet to know that were engage since it was me who proposed. I am n-“Alexander reached for the woman’s hand when he saw her worried expression. “You don’t have to worry that you... a woman proposed to me. Yes we’ve grew up and knew that it is the man who asks the woman’s hand for marriage but I don’t care what would others say about y
*clink* *clink* *clink* The sound of the glass bottle colliding with each other echoed in the whole first floor of Nymphis’ house. Her blue platform heels halted in front of a wasted man laying on the cold floor. It’s already eight in the morning and like the scene she witnessed yesterday morning, the real Lucien was knocked off on the cold floor again.“Hah!” A breathy sight escape from the young lady’s lips and without hesistation, Nymphis kicked the man with all her might. Not minding if he would scream in pian but she doubt that he could still feel pain.“Wake up! Are you planning to kill your liver and other organs, or what?” Her voice echoed and Lucien could only groan not because of the pain inflicted by Nymphis but because of his throbbing head. Folding her arms together and resting it on her chest, Nymphis tilted her body a little bit to have a clear look on Lucien’s wasted face. “Do you still
“Are you alright, Alexander?” Tilting her head, Jingfei asked when the man didn’t give her an answer.“Why are you standing in front of your door and dressed like that? Elite told me that you are not feeling well.” The woman’s lips curved upwards, she chuckled at what the man said. “I’m probably sick but not from what Alexandria have told you. Here-” Jingfei handed a black long rectangular cloth to the man, “wear this and don’t try to peek at my back. Just look at me as you pair your eyes with that.” Alexander confusedly stared at the woman as he grabbed the long cloth. As what Jingfei had instructed him, he paired his eyes without even taking his gaze on her lovely face. “Why am I getting blindfolded today.” He mumbled as the image of his sister doing the same thing poppes to his mind. “How many finger I’m having on air right now?” The woman raised three of h
Alexander firmly stared at the woman beside him. “What nonsense are you spouting?” His eyes almost squinting and a crease on his forehead was visible.“I’m not spouting nonsense. I’m telling you the truth! Before you go to your business trip. You’ll hear her explanation. I won’t tell you everything because it’s not my business to tell it to you after all. I was just giving you hints so you’ll open that godd*amn eyes of yours and see that Jingfei truly loves you. You better go see your doctor and get some treatment once you know things. And by the way, when are you leaving?” Alexander’s face was still filled with confusion but nonetheless he still answered his sister. “The day after tomorrow.” Taking one cupcake from the box. Alexandria briefly looked at her brother before shifting her whole body towards the direction of the view that overlooks both trees and the city. Clasping both her han
