In Love; Day and Night

Dave Pov ;

I smiled a little as Lisa closed her eyes as I moved closer.

I felt it, Lisa who had been looking at me since earlier. She didn't even notice when the television remote fell from her grip. I let her, purposely dry my hair in front of her.

I tried to hold back my laughter whenever she tried to hide her blushing face. With her pure white skin, it wasn't easy to hide the truth, Lisa probably didn't realize it.

I grabbed the grocery bag behind her in a dramatic motion. Lisa closed her eyes when we were so close, and I laughed so hard, that I couldn't hold it in anymore.

When she opened her eyes, then looked at me with her brown eyes, she probably didn't realize how adorable she was. I really would have kissed her if only a message hadn't made it to her phone.

Lisa was a little surprised, then immediately stood up.

I scratched my non-itchy head in an awkward motion. I stood still as Lisa stepped into the kitchen, I'm sure she was trying to hide with her blushing face.

Wait. There seems to be something wrong here. Why should I feel awkward? Even if I kiss her, she is my wife, right? Lisa could have refused because of her pride, but why should I feel awkward?

I stepped into the room and changed clothes.

Five minutes later when I came out, Lisa was back on the couch.

I took a seat next to her.

"It's ten o'clock, want to sleep?" I asked quietly.

Lisa looked at me awkwardly, "Sleep?" She asked again, stammering a little.

"Aaa...., I mean, you sleep in the bedroom and I'll sleep on the couch if you feel uncomfortable," I answered.

Lisa nodded. "Want to have a drink together first? Before going to bed?"

I looked at Lisa, smiling a little. "You want to drink with me?"

I purposely approached. Lisa looked at me awkwardly.

"Yeah, I mean maybe this can reduce the fatigue from the whole day's events."

She stepped into the kitchen and took two glasses.

I took the glass from Lisa's hand before she started pouring the wine from the bottle. She looked at me in surprise.

"Have you forgotten what you did when you have drunk a few weeks ago? And aren't you afraid of what will happen to a drunken man and woman in the same hotel room?" I whispered beside her ear.

She was silent for a few seconds, then laughed stiffly.

"Okay, then I'll sleep. Good night." Lisa stood up, then stepped stiffly after picking up her cell phone from the table.

I breathed a sigh of relief. I've been trying to hold back ever since. I'm a little bit hopeful that Lisa will drink with me, but also don't want us to be in a deeper situation, while Lisa hasn't fully accepted me yet. I have to be patient.

When people say "Women are dangerous creatures", it's all true. I know myself more than anyone. My emotions can peak at any time, as well as my selfish nature. But I seemed to be made submissive in front of Lisa. Forced to hold back and be patient in many ways.

....

We got home at four in the afternoon. Mom opened the main door as we prepared to get out of the car.

I held Lisa's hand.

Lisa looked at me, trying to protest. I glanced at Mom, gesturing. Even though Lisa admits that she hasn't accepted my feelings yet, apart from the two of us, others think we are a loving couple. Lisa smiled forcefully, squeezing my hand a little.

Mom came up to us, and picked up Lisa to be precise, "Oh, honey, why are you home so early." She pulled Lisa's hand away from me.

Dad tapped me on the shoulder, he gave me a strange smile, then whispered softly, "So how was your night? Can we expect to have grandchildren soon?"

I chuckled, not answering.

"Go up to your room first dear, I'll bring some fruit to wait for the evening." Mom said cheerfully to Lisa.

Lisa nodded in agreement.

"Here, Lily."

Lisa followed behind me and started up the stairs. I told Lisa before, I bought a house for the two of us. But Mom and Dad insisted we stay at William's for a few days. There will also be another family gathering later.

I opened the bedroom door, and Lisa came in after me.

That's not my room, that's another room that Mom has prepared. The size is bigger than my room, there is a spacious balcony with a table and chairs where you can enjoy morning tea. Mom deliberately chose this room, more romantic, she thought.

"This room is much brighter than your all-black room." Lisa said quietly. She was sitting on the round sofa at the side of the room.

Hey, why is she calling like my room is bad?

The sound of a knock on the door which wasn't actually closed-, made me cancel rebutting Lisa's words.

Mom and Dad were standing there, a container full of strawberries in their hands. They smiled strangely.

"Eat this, honey, dinner is coming soon." I saw Mom who winked at me. Ah?

Lisa chuckled, taking the strawberry in Mom's hand cheerfully, her favorite fruit.

"Eat slowly, come back in." Dad tugged at Mom's arm for her to leave.

Lisa ate her strawberries voraciously. I smiled a little at her.

"You want to taste it?" She asked me, her hands busy picking the fruit with the largest size.

As she put the big strawberry in her mouth, Mom and Dad's heads peeked a little. I pulled Lisa's body, and turned her carefully, making her lean against the wall. One hand grabbed her head, and the other hand wrapped around her waist.

She didn't move, her eyes were on me. The strawberry that was just halfway into her mouth was still there. Lisa winks, looks cute

"This strawberry looks delicious. I want to taste it too." I said slowly.

Lisa is still looking at me, one hand trying to reach the strawberry in her mouth. Her body slowly began to move down, trying to get away. I pulled her waist, our distance getting closer.

Lisa looked up a little, only because she was wearing her sneakers she didn't tiptoe.

"Don't move, Mom and Dad are watching. They believe we are newlyweds who have a glue-like relationship." I said quietly, almost in a whisper.

Mom and Dad squealed, stifled—I'm sure they did, seeing the sight they hoped for had finally happened—. Lisa glanced at the door.

"They have gone." She pointed with her eyes.

I had to stop my movement, we were already very close. I'm a little disappointed.

Lisa smiled a little, "Looks like they've got their wish." Her hand moved, and put a strawberry in my mouth. I smiled back at her.

We laughed a little.

Lisa walked slowly, sitting back on the round sofa. With a small body, she almost drowned on the sofa. Her legs swayed slightly, not touching the floor.

"Is that sweet?" Lisa asked, she looked relaxed. Her mood seemed to be improving.

I looked at her, one eyebrow raised. "Strawberry." she continued.

I nodded in response. "You like it that much?" I ask.

Look, she almost finished it in just a few seconds. I know she has a lot to eat, yeah even though she tries to hide it.

Lisa nodded firmly.

I walked over to her, whispering softly next to her ear. "My lips also smell like strawberries, you must know that. So, do you really like my lips too?"

Lisa coughed a little, her face turning red. I laughed a little at that. Her facial expressions are very easy to read.
