Even though the scene on the tv was bloody with animals tearing apart each other, Shui Xian was amazed at how normal his wife found it all. She didn't feel repulsive eating ice cream with this kind of scene playing before her eyes.
Shui Xian had never been fond of blood, so he shifted his eyes to look at his wife instead. She was leaning on him again as she continued to eat the ice cream while her eyes were glued to the screen. Although it was difficult to read her expressions, he could tell that she was very interested in this show.
As usual, a person like her who would read books on quantum theory as a hobby could definitely find wildlife quite intriguing as well. He had come to understand one thing clearly; Anything was possible with his wife!
And anything meant 'ANYTHING!'
Seeing how she had distractedly smeared some ice cream on her nose, he chuckled before wiping it off with the pad of his thumb. Only that movement made Raelle's eyes move from the tv screen as she looked at him. Shui Xian had naturally put the thumb into his own mouth without really thinking about his action.
However, while doing so, he missed the flicker in Raelle's eyes. She intentionally put some more ice cream on the tip of her nose and Shui Xian shook his head at her with a smile before he again wiped it off. But just as he was about to lick the ice cream off of his thumb pad, Raelle held his hand and under his watchful eyes, she brought his thumb to her mouth. Shui Xian gulped as he saw her lips parting slowly before she put his thumb into her mouth and her hot, wet, tantalizing tongue slowly licked.
Shui Xian felt like cursing out but he held himself back. He didn't know whether she was licking his thumb or the ice cream on it. But he was certain that she was slowly sucking his soul in.
"It's my ice cream," she said as she blinked at him innocently. "I should have it, no?"
Shui Xian licked his lips and felt thirsty. Oh, he was really thirsty now.
"You did that on purpose," he groaned almost painfully.
"What did I do?" she inquired seemingly not understanding his meaning at all.
For a second, even Shui Xian blanked out trying to figure out whether to believe her words or her actions. Because both were contradictory. Her actions were clearly seducing him but her words sounded so innocent.
"I just realized," he said. "We both are in fact like the flavors of ice cream we brought."
"What do you mean?" asked Raelle. This time, she certainly didn't know what he meant.
"I'm like vanilla; plain, dull, and conventional." He poked her cheek as he went on, "You on the other hand are like chocolate; dark, mysterious, adventurous, and completely unconventional!"
"Mysterious?" echoed Raelle. "What's mysterious about me? I'm just as I seem."
"And that is what adds to the mystery of you," said Shui Xian. "You show and say everything without hesitation. You don't hesitate before acting on what's on your mind either. There are hardly people who have the same thoughts as what they have on their lips. But you're different. Your thoughts and your words are in sync. That makes you dangerous and it adds the mystery of its own as well."
"Have you been looking at me so intently because all of this was running through your mind?" asked Raelle. Even though her eyes were on the tv screen, she could still feel his gaze on herself. There was no way around it. She was used to having people stare at her all the time. It didn't affect her anymore.
"No, I was looking at you because I felt like doing it," he replied honestly. He didn't think there was a need to hide his thoughts from her. Since she liked to talk out her thoughts so bluntly, he had to match her pace and style as well.
Raelle shifted and sat on his lap with her face towards him. Both her legs were folded on each side of his body. Placing her hand on his chest, she asked, "Why?"
He rubbed his face against the side of her neck as he said, "Because I don't find documentary as interesting as my wife."
"Oh," she said before she placed her hands on each side of his face and made him look at her. "Then how about you let me look at you as well? Because I certainly like this face."
"Wife, you're such a face-con that I'm afraid if you found someone more handsome than me, you might leave me," he let out his grievance before her.
"That won't happen," she replied matter-of-factly.
"Are you that certain?" he asked raising his brow at her.
"I'm extremely certain," she answered without explaining why she thought so.
However, he didn't need an explanation when the one to say those words was Raelle. Because when it came to her, he just ended up believing in her words. It was just that simple. There was always something about the way she spoke that made his heart inexplicably believe in her.
"I'm satisfied just listening to your words," he told her and gave her a smile. "Now, shall we go to the room?"
"Let me taste some ice cream," she said.
"But you already finished i-," before he could even continue, she smacked her lips on his. At such close proximity, he stared into her eyes as her tongue swept into his mouth dominantly taking control of the kiss.
"Yours tastes even better," she said against his lips as her eyes bore into his.
Shui Xian smiled at her words. Even though they ate the same ice cream, she still had to make it sound so... romantic? He was doubtful about what word to use to describe this feeling. After all, romantic really didn't feel like something she'd do.
"Hold tight," he said before he placed his hands on her round buttocks and stood up abruptly. Raelle ended up wrapping her arms around his neck along with her legs wrapped around his waist. "Let's see whose ice cream tasted better," were his words before he savored the taste of her mouth trying to quench the thirst that she had evoked.
