Misunderstanding

Jhotam woke me up by planting small kisses on my cheeks.

"Hmmm..." 

"Let's take a bath." Says Jhotam.

"Later, I'm still sleepy give me 5 more minutes." I replied as I turned my back on him.

I thought he'll let me sleep, I was surprised when he started kissing my nape. I can feel his warm breath, it actually tickled me.

"Come on, let me sleep for awhile." 

I met his eye as I swift over my blanket to face him. 

"Why don't you take a bath first? aren't you going to office now?"

"I want to spend my shower time with you."

"Are you a teenager? What's with that attitude of yours?" I burst into laughter.

What the hell is he thinking? Shower time with me? Does it even matter?

I gave him a peck of kiss. "Get up and leave me alone."

He turned his back on me. This is the moment I knew he's sulking, to lift his mood I hugged him from his back.

He faced me once again. Now, he's giving me naughty smile.

I was taken aback when he caress my hair as he pulled me closer to him. He kissed me torridly, he slid his tongue inside my mouth. He's kisses almost savour my whole being. 

He then placed his body on top of me. He caressed my back trying to undo my brassiere. We're almost doing it, however we heard a knock on our door.

I pushed him aside. I fixed my messy dress and went to our wooden designed door. 

I saw him messing with his hair. I bet he really want to do that 'thing'.

"Mom?" 

"Yes? baby?" I asked Tamra and kiss him on his temple.

"Aren't we going to dad's office?"

"Hear, Hear!"

I glared at my husband. Now he's teaming up with my son. 

Tamra walked inside our master's bedroom. He jumped into our bed and gave his dad a quick good morning kiss.

"Dad you smell awful, same goes with mom. Why don't you shower first?"

"You hear that honey? now shall we?"

"You go on ahead. I'll take Tamra to bath first."

"Fine." He muttered.

A side ways smile slip through my mouth as I witnessed him pouted his lips. 

What a charming husband!

"Let's go Tamra."

After all the preparation we headed at C&I company, my husband's family heirloom company.

"Good morning. Ma'am and Sir." 

The staff greeted us. I smiled back at them to reciprocate their greetings.

"Good morning!" My son cheerfully responded. 

I've finally found a comfortable space, it was my husband's office.

"where's your secretary, Hon?"

I haven't seen Aeriad since we set our foot here. 

"I bet she's late again." Jhotam replied.

"Are you going to fire her?" I asked. I'm not being rude her but it is about an ethical grounds of responsible employee.

"I can't do that right now, I have a lot of things to fix in this company. It would be a waste of time to change my personal secretary. Besides she's doing great its just that she often come here late.

I arched my left eye-brow. Is he defending her? or I'm just jealous of Aeriad?

"Well I can be your personal secretary. Just like the old time yah know."

I was once his secretary before we tied the knot. Now, I'm just a boring house wife. Is it a bad idea to bring back my old job?

"Listen to me. How many times do I need to remind you that I don't want you to do other things aside from taking care of our family."

Instead of engaging into a worthless arguments, I chose to shut my mouth. 

"I'll get us some coffee and snack. Tamra stay here, I'll be back."

"I'll just book our food, Honey stay here."

"I insist."

Without hearing his side comment, I left to grab some air.

I really want to do something in my life not just a mere house wife. However, every time I open up this topic his mood always fall on the bad side of the shade.

I saw a milk tea shop, nearby to where C&I was situated. I think its just 10 minutes walk.

I went to the counter and ordered a hazelnut, chocolate and tiramisu; medium size for each flavour.

"Kindly wait for a couple of minutes. Here's your buzzer, Ma'am."

I spotted an empty seat beside the table. I sat there and threw a blanked stare outside the shop.

"Shaira? We met again."

It was Ryan, my former boyfriend and now my 

son's professor.

"Oww, yeah we've met again." I replied. It was pretty obvious that I found this situation as awkward as it seems.

"What are you doing here, alone?" Ryan asked.

"Nothing, just grabbing food for my boys." I replied as I threw an awkward smile.

"G—-"

I cut him off by showing my buzzer. 

"Sure, goodbye see you around." 

I headed back to counter to claim my order. While Ryan stood up also, to order his food.

"What's taking you so long?" Jhotam asked.

My heart skipped a beat when I saw him standing in front of me. Luckily I was already standing outside the shop when he appeared.

I bet he didn't saw me talking to my ex. I have not discussed him yet. The only thing he knew is the fact that Ryan and I have bitter past. also, we don't have a closure. 

It's not been so long since Ryan appeared again. It was a coincidence.

"Who's that guy talking to you on the counter?"

"He's asking me what flavour should he get."

Atleast he didn't caught us talking awhile ago on the table beside the window and a vintage wall

"Don't mind it, he's a total weird stranger. Btw, where's our son?"

"He's talking to Hyunra on his phone."

"Are you sure he's a stranger?"

I think twice before I came up with this answer, "Yes, why?" 

I have not heard any response. He's just holding my hand as we head back to his office.
