When There Is Nothing Left But Love

I knew he was surprised, but I would try my best to resolve the dispute between George and him to free up his worries and to repay him for his kindness towards me.

Ashton was already in the kitchen when I got out of the bathroom.

He saw me and noticed that I was barefooted. “The floor is cold, so please wear slippers!” he said out of concern.

Ah!

I was too focused on looking for him that I forgot about it.

After slipping into a pair of slippers, I entered the kitchen to take a peek at what he was cooking. “What are you cooking?” I asked to find out what was behind that rich, comforting smell.

“Chicken soup!” he replied with pride. He came close to me with his gleeful eyes and requested, “Give me a kiss!”

I was startled, and I blushed. “Have you decided when to visit George?” I tried to change the topic.

He noticed, so he smirked and teased, “I’ll tell you after you give me a peck on my cheek!”

I gave him a light peck on his cheek and looked at him, “Alright, can I know now?”

Ashton smiled so brightly – he resembled a happy baby with blushed cheeks and flushed ears.

“The day after tomorrow then!”

“Great!”
