Just The Way She Is

Dave Pov ;

Lisa hugged my neck tightly. As I move back, she locks me tighter.

She muttered, sounding very far-fetched.

I could tell she was pretending to be asleep. It hadn't even been five minutes since she had sulked a while ago, how could someone fall asleep and become delirious so quickly?

She probably thought I didn't comply with her request to sleep in the same bed with her because she didn't want to make it easier for her to observe the scene or whatever, for story purposes. More than that, I wanted to lie down beside her, and cuddle her in my sleep. But, for the sake of mutual convenience, I'll hold on to it for now.

Lisa may not understand, I'm trying hard to contain all my emotions and my body is trying to cross the line. If Lisa can't feel my feelings right now, I won't take the risk of doing something just following my heart and body.

It wasn't easy, we were in the same room, and with the lights dim, trying to control me.

Despite all that, Lisa is my legal wife. There will be no punishment or prohibition if I hug, kiss, and do further things to her. But I respect Lisa's wishes, simply because I love her.

I will protect, protect and love her in a way that will not make her walk away from me. I will not force him to accept or reciprocate my feelings. I just hope that one day she will accept and understand my sincere feelings.

I patted her back gently, for a few minutes.

Her arms started to loosen, maybe she was getting sleepy. I moved her body melancholy, and released her arms, making her lie down in a more comfortable position.

Her eyes twitched a little, she hadn't fallen asleep. I smiled a little at her. After all my efforts not to do anything she might not like by keeping a distance from her, right now, she came to me.

What should I do with her?

I smoothed the hair covering Lisa's face. She moved a little, startled just a moment ago, I moved to tuck her under my body. However, she regained her composure the next second, pretending to be asleep again.

I was about to laugh actually, but just seeing her efforts made me hold back.

The scent of perfume, cherry lip balm, and shampoo can be smelled from this close distance. Her white skin looks clean. Lisa moved a little, I could tell she was starting to notice the distance between our faces had been reduced a lot. We are within a distance to kiss.

I swallowed my saliva, shaking my head hard. No, I have to endure it. I'm a grown man. I muttered in my heart.

Lisa's eyes twitched slightly, trying to peek. But before that, I did something, to deal with my uncontrollable heartbeat.

Lisa opened her eyes, taking a closer look at her body.

"What do you mean? What are you doing? I can't even move, Dave?" She chuckled, but her tone sounded a little irritated.

I just smiled contentedly looking at her.

I just tied her up with my blanket and belt. She was wrapped up like a cocoon ready to transform into a butterfly. Only the neck up can move freely.

She tried to wriggle free a few more times but failed. Lisa looked at me annoyed.

I brought my face closer to her, moving to kiss her. Lisa closed her eyes, ready to welcome my kiss.

"I've made it clear, Miss Writer. I'm not going easy." I didn't kiss her but whispered beside her ear.

Lisa opened her eyes, looked at me, and forced a smile on her face. I know for sure, she was holding her anger in her heart. I smiled back sweetly, lying next to her.

She sniffed the blanket that tied her, "What brand of body soap are you using? It smells so good." Her head moved left and right, still sniffing, her movements were exactly like that of a kitten.

I got up from my position and stood up. Lisa looked up at me.

"Sleep," I said quietly, then stepped out of the room.

Lisa's protesting voice asking me to untie her ties lingered behind me as I closed the bedroom door from outside.

I chuckled, starting down the stairs.

The fact that I got one good thing tonight, made me couldn't help but smile.

If Lisa had always avoided and was often awkward when I approached her, then maybe I could hope for something better.

With all her plans to keep an eye on me as the main character, she will continue to be near me, following me. That is good news, regardless of the purpose. My chance to take our relationship one step further came sooner than I expected.

....

I took off my glasses. All documents have been checked and signed. Brenda who was waiting beside me nodded, took all the documents, then stepped out.

I looked at Lisa who was now looking at me intently. Her face looked serious. She nodded her head slightly, then began to take notes in her book. After that looked at me again, observing.

I left for the company early in the morning today. There is an urgent matter that I must take care of immediately.

A pleasant surprise during a busy office affair. When I opened the door to my room, Lisa was sitting pretty with a novel in her hand as a reading.

She looked happy when she saw me coming. She walked over to me, with a strange smile.

"Hello, Master main character. I came here to observe you," she said politely, bowing slightly, saluting.

I shrugged, looking at her in surprise. She sighed loudly, and looked at me again, "Never mind, just continue your work. I'll sit right there, watching you from afar," she said annoyed, pointing at the long sofa.

I was still motionless, expressionless, pretending not to understand.

She waved her hand, unconcerned. "Don't put on that annoying face of yours, I'm not interested in seeing it."

She turned and walked towards the sofa, her sweet sitting position.

I chuckled. Her expression changed in a few seconds.

I looked at her back facing me. I know now who she looks like. Fierce emotions, a lot of behavior, like a child, Jack. Yes!

They immediately became close since their first chat of course because of their brains, mannerisms, and emotions that matched. It's just that Jack is acting even more spoiled, while I haven't seen Lisa acting spoiled yet.

Lisa's childish nature will be seen in her small movements that she may not even notice. When annoyed her lips will be pursed, when surprised her eyes will be rounded, and looks funny. I often wanted to pinch her cheeks, infuriating myself.

As a well-known person, I often read articles that wrote about my nickname, "handsome sexy man...." and so on. My future woman will likely be a beautiful woman with a proportional body like a model.

But in fact, now I fell in love and married a cute girl with round cheeks. Don't forget her height which is only my shoulder, I have to bend down to kiss her. It doesn't live up to many people's expectations.

But regardless of their opinion, I like Lisa just the way she is. Although her behavior and words are often sharp and cold, I still like her. Only she.

"Is it a CEO's job to just sign the files? How boring. This is beyond my expectations, not the same as in the drama." Lisa got up from her sitting position, got up, leaned against the bookshelf.

Her lips pursed, she was bored.

I know she's been changing seats several times.

With his small body size, she moves easily to and fro. It's different when she watches videos of male idols and their dramas. She would sit all day, staying in her position.

Gerry gave me that information when I first asked her to look up information about Lisa when we weren't married. Jessy also confirmed it.

She'd been telling me a lot about Lisa at the dinner table the other day. Lisa was about to stop her, but Jessy spoke loudly again, revealing her sister's habits and disgrace. Our table was filled with laughter at that time.

I walked over to Lisa, enclosing her with my body.

"So what's the CEO doing in your drama? I want to hear how great they are to have you sit all day staring at them. I might be able to follow a thing or two if it's good for you." I said quietly, looking at her.

"Is that true?" Lisa said cheerfully. Her eyes sparkled with pleasure. Her wrinkled face for a moment then turned cheerful.

"You're going to follow them?" She was looking for reassurance. Her eyes flickered.

There is a joy that creeps into my heart. Regardless of the reason, Lisa no longer evades when I close my distance from her.

"You name it. I'll show you if you're being nice." I cleared my throat, hiding my joy.

"Alright, I'll be nice from now on," Lisa said cheerfully.

She jogged, picking up her notebook on the table.
