Chapter 80

Eros Robinson's POV

I woke up and found myself still in the car with my head still resting on Freshia's shoulder. "Already up?" She asked later. She seemed to know that I had woken up from my sleep. I immediately adjusted my sitting position to lean against the back of the car seat and realized that the car was already stopped in the yard, but the car engine had been left running.

“Since when have we arrived? Why didn't you wake me up?” I asked in a hoarse voice. Instead of answering her question, I asked her back.

“You look very asleep. I couldn't bear to wake you up." Freshia said then.

I turned towards him and looked at her who was also looking at me. “Thank you, Freshia.” My words were followed by a smile which Freshia immediately responded with a smile. After that, we got out of the car and walked into the house to our respective rooms.

I just rested myself on the bed after finishing cleaning my body. With my hair still a bit wet, I leaned against the headboard of the bed to relax my body for a moment. Before finally I heard a knock on my bedroom door. I immediately got up from my bed to open the door.

Unexpectedly, Freshia was the one I found when I opened the door to my room. She was standing in front of the door holding a tray with two cups on it. “Freshia?” I exclaimed because I was surprised by her presence.

"Am I bothering you?" She asked later.

"Not at all. Come in.” I answered while opening the door to my room wider so that Freshia could enter freely.

"Earlier, after showering, I intended to make a glass of hot chocolate to help my body relax more. And suddenly I remembered you who looked very tired earlier. So, I took the initiative to make one for you too. Would you like to accompany me to drink it, Eros?" She asked while sitting on the sofa in the corner of my room. For some reason, Freshia's tone at that time sounded a little spoiled to my ears. Suddenly she made me smile.

“Obviously, I will,” I said then and I immediately followed her to sit on the sofa, right next to her.

There was no discussion after that. However, there was no awkwardness between us, because at this time each of us was enjoying the silence. Until finally a few minutes later Freshia spoke again. "Eros, you look different when your bangs, which are usually pulled up to show your forehead, are now lowered to cover your forehead," Freshia said while looking at me.

“Weird, huh? I just washed my hair, so I haven't had time to style my hair yet." I said while ruffling my hair which was still half wet so it would dry faster. However, Freshia suddenly stopped my hand movements.

“No, just leave it alone. In my opinion, with a hairstyle like this, you look more handsome." She spoke with a deliberately lowered tone of voice when she said the word at the end of her sentence. However, her voice could still be caught clearly by my hearing.

After saying that, she seemed to avert her gaze from me and deliberately took her glass containing chocolate, which must have become warm by now. Ah, really really. Is Freshia teasing me now? She hasn't forgotten that I have feelings for her. “Freshia,” I called her.

She immediately turned to me and returned my gaze. “Is the real you really like this?” I asked later.

Freshia frowned, looking confused by my words. "What do you mean?"

“You look a little different tonight. Your tone also sounds more spoiled. Are you teasing me?” I asked bluntly in the end.

Freshia's expression changed to one of shock when she heard what I just said. But a split second later, her expression returned to calm and she looked at me. "Maybe, because I'm getting a little comfortable around you," she replied.

That gaze now locked mine. Several seconds passed and neither of us looked away. Until finally I couldn't hold back my desire that had been bubbling for a long time. I immediately brought my face closer to her and started kissing her red lips. After getting no resistance from her, I started kissing her more intensely. The taste of the lips is always the same. Always makes me miss her.

I felt Freshia also kiss me back, and then our tongues collided and our connection became stronger. Until I didn't realize it, Freshia had now moved onto my lap. Without releasing our lips, we embraced each other's bodies. Freshia's hands are now behind my neck, while my hands are on her hips. Not satisfied yet, now my hands began to gently squeeze her hips, and then one of my hands went inside her clothes to caress her stomach sensually. Suddenly Freshia moaned in pleasure and our kiss was broken.

She is now looking at me with such a wistful gaze as if she continues to tempt me to do more than this. Now I use my hands to caress her beautiful face and wipe away the remaining saliva that makes her red lips wet. "Do you want to continue in bed?" I whispered to her. But she didn't give me any response, and I took that as an acceptance. I immediately lifted my body with Freshia in my arms. After arriving on the bed, I laid her body down slowly and put her under my arms.

Again and again, we stared at each other deeply. Now, Freshia is caressing my face affectionately and ending her fingers by stroking my lips sensually. Without saying a word, I immediately kissed her lips again, and now one of my hands, which I didn't use to support my body, began to open the buttons one by one of the knee-length overalls that were attached to her body that night, until our hot activities that night continued until the sound of her moaning was heard. echoed in all corners of my room.

The next morning I found Freshia sleeping facing me. It turns out that last night wasn't just a dream. Her face looked very shady. I smiled seeing her face which still looked beautiful even though she was asleep. I slowly stroked her little face again and adjusted the white blanket that covered our naked bodies so that she wouldn't feel cold.

Freshia Ava's POV

I woke up from my sleep and found myself not in my room. Instantly my consciousness fully returned when I saw my body which was only protected by a thick blanket and my memory returned to last night's incident between me and Eros. My gaze circled the entire room and couldn't find his figure anywhere. I took a deep breath and tried to move to sit down. Then took my clothes which turned out to be folded at the end of the bed.

Just as I finished buttoning the last button on my shirt, the door to Eros's room opened and revealed the figure of the owner of the room with a tray in his hand, coming inside. Eros smiled when he saw me and he immediately stepped towards me after closing the door to his room tightly. “Are you awake, Freshia?” He asked later after he arrived near me. I just answered his question with a nod. There wasn't the slightest awkwardness between us. Maybe I'm really comfortable being by his side.

“I brought breakfast. Do you want to eat or shower first?”

"It seems I want to clean my body first, Eros."

Eros smiled when he heard my answer. His attitude has now completely changed. He became very gentle, more than before. "Okay then, use the bathroom here. I'll prepare a change of clothes for you later, Freshia.”

After cleaning my body and wearing the clothes that Eros had prepared, I joined him in sitting on the balcony in his room, which offered a view of the garden around his house. Eros immediately handed a plate of sandwiches to me when he noticed my arrival.

"Thank You," I said. After that, I immediately ate the sandwich until it was finished.

“Freshia.” Eros called me and looked at me. I just responded with a soft sigh and returned his gaze. "As you know, I'm not a romantic person and like making small talk." Eros then said.

"When I saw you earlier when I woke up from my sleep, that was really the moment I wanted to always be there when I opened my eyes in the morning. Maybe the beginning of our relationship was not good, but after going through everything, I am even more sure of my feelings for you. What at first I thought was just an obsession, but apparently not. I like you, Freshia, and I want our relationship to be more than this. Do you want to marry me?”

Eros said that he wasn't good at small talk, but what he just said seemed convoluted. I think all this time he was a person who got to the point. However, it sounds very touching to me. I'm sure it must have been difficult for him to say something that long and look like he was begging me. To say it may require lowering one's ego first. That morning, was quite a historic morning in my life. Eros proposed to me.

***

I was looking at the photos in the frame, which immortalized the sacred day on which Eros and I vowed to be faithful for life and death a year ago. I smiled again when I remembered that I had now experienced a moment that I had never imagined before. While one of my hands continued to feel a necklace around my neck which was a gift for our first year of marriage, which Eros gave me last night when we had a romantic dinner at a famous restaurant in this country. The Moussaief Red Diamond in the form of a necklace, was a special gift he gave me. Yes, the diamond he ordered at White Stone when I was carrying out my internship program at that company.

Suddenly an arm wrapped around my waist. Someone hugged me from behind. Of course, I know who that person is. I immediately responded by stroking his hand, where on his ring finger there was a ring that had the same pattern as mine. “Why did you wake up alone this morning? You know that I don't like it if I don't find you next to me when I open my eyes in the morning.” Eros whined. Many sides began to be revealed one by one after we got married. Including his spoiled and childish nature, like now. There is only one effective way to calm him down, namely hug his body as tightly as possible.

If someone asked me again, have I fallen in love with Eros? So without thinking twice, I will answer it with one word, namely Yes. At first, he was someone who could be said to be very cruel to me. However, he is also the person who can heal all my mental and physical wounds. I can't deny that I become more complete when I'm with him. Now, when we are together, we feel like we can get through anything. Including our past trauma which is now much better. I can only give thanks and thank God, for having been with us until this moment.
