Bye, My Irresistible Love

George’s POV: 

After dinner, I video called Helen. She was leaning against the head of the bed. Truly, she looked elegant with her wet hair dripping in the soft, warm light.

 The cockles of my heart seemed to warm up as I looked at her. 

“What are you doing?” I asked casually. I knew that if I didn’t take the initiative to contact her, then she wouldn’t have contacted me. 

“I just took a shower and I am getting ready for bed,” Helen replied while drying her tresses with a towel. Her movements were unrushed and I could see that the pajamas she was wearing were rather conservative. However, my attention was drawn to the diamond-like droplets of water gently falling off the tips of her hair against her delicate and beautiful collarbone. Images of me hugging and kissing her passionately flashed through my mind. “Oh!” I replied in a low, hoarse voice.

 I secretly admired her without saying anything. Neither of us spoke again for a while. Helen kept drying her hair and then suddenly asked, “When will you be coming back to New York?”

 I had promised to accompany my grandpa to have a physical examination and to meet several of my friends. A technology exhibition was scheduled to take place in Washington in a few days’ time and Jane and I were invited to participate in it.

 Therefore, I would still be around for at least a week.
