After a long day of wedding celebrations that lasted throughout the day with a series of fun games and entertainment, the families and everybody finally let off the two couples into their love nest.
Ai collapsed on the bed, exhausted to her core. She breathed in and breathed out as if dispersing her weariness. A second later, she felt lifted in the air and opened her eyes in surprise. She caught his neck in between her arms and slightly pouted. "Where are you taking me, husband?"
She felt tickled throughout her chest addressing Jun as her husband. The sweet, tingling emotion of becoming Mrs. Liu had not completely set in her heart but just the mention alone filled it with immense joy.
The sweet word of husband chiming inside his ears made him feel as if he was floating on the clouds. "Say that again."
Giving a mischievous smile, Ai kissed his inviting jawline and said, "Husband."
The fluttering in his heart overwhelmed to a point that he couldn't handle it. He laughed and twirled Ai in his arms. "This feels like a dream, my wife."
Her face shone like a beautiful golden ray of sunshine. "I assure you this is very much a reality."
"Indeed. Also, the reality is that my cute little wife is fatigued like anything so now her husband will help her with a nice and long warmth bath," he smiled and walked towards the bathroom where a tempting bathtub emanating warm steam from the hot water was already filled in.
Jun gently let her down and turning her back to him, he began undressing her wedding gown. The touch of his fingers against her zipper brought a shy blush on her cheeks. "I can undress myself…"
"How can I let my wife lift even a finger when she is so tired and exhausted? What kind of a husband would I be?"
"You are just being a hooligan," she mumbled.
"Husband hooligan~"
"..."
He brought his face just closer to hover it around her cheek, making her even more aware of his presence. His whisper of a breath tickled her ear. "Why the shyness now, wife? You have valiantly shown me your bold side quite a number of times."
"O-of course not. That was somebody else…"
Recalling all those lovemaking times where she took charge brought a deep flush across her face. Jun only let out a knowing chuckle.
The wedding gown slipped down and she felt a light shudder with the chilliness. Jun carefully placed the gown on the other side and looked at her, raising his brow. "Time for me to undo your bra."
"..."
"I-I will do it myself!"
"You do know that I have undid your bra and panties many times, right?"
Ai covered her tomato red turned face in her palms. "Don't say that!"
"What? That I have seen you naked?" He grabbed the fun in teasing her and deepening the shades of red flashing on her face.
"Didn't I say I won't let you even lift a finger?"
"I don't mind doing these menial tasks…" She cleared her throat.
"No, no, no," he shook his finger in dismissal. "I ought to be a responsible husband. Besides…" his palm gently caressed her waist, pulling her towards him, "Tonight is a very special night for us. More special than all the other nights we have spent."
His husky voice floated in the warm fumes of water, notching up the heat up in the atmosphere.
Ai couldn't show her face at all. Of course, Jun had seen her naked on all the lovemaking occasions but realizing the gravity of this day where they were finally pronounced as husband and wife, a different and more sweeter emotion took root in her heart. Everything felt new just like the night of the Valentine's when they had first made love.
Eventually, Jun placed her inside the warm bathtub as she continued hiding her blushing face. But she withdrew her hands as soon as the warm water hit her flesh. Just the touch alone seemed to drain away the tiredness. The water temperature was just perfect, bringing a pleasant smile on her lips.
Jun splashed a few drops of water across her face and Ai did the same. "How is this fair that you are still the fully dressed person here?" She complained.
A brilliant light glinted in his dark brown orbs and he said with a wide grin. "With pleasure. Seems like my wife doesn't want to stay apart from me even by a few inches."
"Y-you know I didn't mean it that way!"
But it was too late and Jun stepped in the warm water and claiming his spot behind Ai, he took his seat and slid his escaping rabbit towards him. "Where do you suppose you are going?"
She pursed her lips. "I felt the soap was small."
"There is plenty of soap and shampoos and oils and whatever you will need. Your husband has thoroughly prepared everything."
She clicked her tongue, failing to defeat his perfect and devious plans.
"Did you just click your tongue at your husband who only held pure intentions of helping his wife with a warm, relaxing bath?" He narrowed his eyes, looking hurt.
Ai giggled and buried her face in his toned, muscular chest. "I know all about how pure your intentions are."
He harrumphed. "I only meant pure bathing. It's not my fault if your mind is perverted."
"And who made it this perverted?" She cast an accusing question at the perpetrator.
"You always were. Does anybody have to make you perverted?" He showed a surprised expression.
"You are not only a hooligan but a shameless hooligan."
Their sweet bickering echoed a tender laughter in the air. They fixed their warm gazes at each other, genuinely wanting to grasp this emotion. Stepping out of their past shadows, they had forged a new path for themselves. It felt so surreal that a few moments of poised silence hung in the air.
"Thank you for everything Ai…" he bumped his forehead against hers, whispering to her lips. "For coming into my life, for teaching me about my imperfections, for showing me the strength to overcome my past, for giving me the courage to fall in love again and now…" he placed his palm on her belly, wanting to feel the presence of their child. His eyes ached, thinking of a little Jun or Ai growing inside it, "for giving us this wonderful gift. Our child Ai...I cannot be any happier...Thank you for everything. I love you, Ai. I love you so much."
