My Sweetheart

They had stayed awake until almost dawn. Lying in Joseph's arm, Kathy murmured, "I thought you won't be back for another dozen of days."

"I've missed you." It was just a few simple words, but it triggered some sparks in Kathy's head.

She held him tight, turning up the corner of her mouth.

"Then what about your work there?"

"Cancelled."

"You're so whimsical."

"Yeah, I am," Joseph said seriously.

Kathy couldn't help but gently punch his chest, "You don't have to."

"Kathy, I'm already back."

Joseph lifted her chin and kissed her passionately. She closed her eyes and went in for his gentleness....

...

They woke up in the noon. Kathy opened her eyes and saw the man next to her. The fatigue on his face was obvious.

Arriving only yesterday in the middle of the night, he must have no time for a break at all.

She blinked, and kissed him on the lips.

It was just a gentle kiss, and she was going to pull back very soon.

But Joseph suddenly got hold of her head and intensified the kiss.

"You're awake," said Kathy.

"Yeah. Are you hungry?" he asked softly.

"Starving ... but it's a little late now. Are you going to the hospital?"

"Not today."

"Ella will probably not be ok with that, will she?" Kathy blurted out.

When they were in the hospital, Ella lost her temper even if Joseph had just been gone for one day.

Not to mention Joseph had been on a business trip for several days.
