Let's Get Married

Finally, Rex sees a small ball curled up on the sofa in the living room.

He changes his shoes and tiptoes to where she is. The moonlight shines through the window and fell right on her face. The posture is a little awkward. She must have sleep uncomfortably with a phone in her hand. It is unlock, the screen is still on.

Rex pulls the phone away from her palm slowly, thinking that he just wanted to put it aside, but he accidentally looks at the screen and it transpire to be his name.

He pauses his movements and observes it closely. It is an unsent message: When are you home? I have something to show you.

The dialog box is ready, but she doesn’t send it. Did she afraid that he might notice her surprise, or did she afraid to spill the beans? Hence, she hesitates till fallen asleep and end up didn’t send it.

Picturing that image, his eyes soften instantly and half-squats to stretch out his hand to wake her up. The moment when he touches her, he suddenly changes his mind and bows to kiss her.

Even though he has done his best to be as gentle as possible, Lily still realized it. When she finds it is difficult to breath, she gradually opens her eyes to see an extremely familiar face.

Lily is startled and pushes him away, “You, are you back?”

Lily is still half asleep. When she rubs her eyes, she soon realizes the balloons in the room….

Shit!

How can she forget it!

Rex observes her increasingly unnatural movements and asks, “Why didn’t you tell me?”

Lily blinks embarrassedly, “I just wanted to give you a surprise…..”

But it end up in a mess.

“Other’s surprises have a backup plan, what about yours?” He is talking about the point that he didn’t go home for dinner tonight.

Speaking of which, Lily is embarrassed, “How can I know that you won’t come back.”
