YM778.TV Chapter 258 - About The Future
For the next days to come, Cassidy and Adrian spend so much time together, hoping to make up for all the days they are not able to do so.
He has been going in and out of the hospital to visit his wife who is still recuperating - but days after she woke up, he began staying for the whole night as well. Since her room looks very much like a real house, both of them feel as if they are finally living under the same roof again.
"Say, Cassidy, after you get discharged from the hospital, do you want to live together with me again? I\'ll take care of the packing and preparations..." Adrian offered.
"Or better yet, let\'s find a new home. We can also start living in another country if you want."
"Huh? That\'s too much, Adrian..." Cassidy blurted out, surprised.
"But to be honest, I\'m alright with any of those as long as we\'re together."
Seeing her cheeks flush a shade of pink as she says those, he can\'t help but make a smitten look.
The couple is laying on her hospital bed at the moment - with only a single lamp on. It\'s already getting late in the evening, but they decided to talk for a while longer before they go to sleep. She is using his arm as a pillow while he has his other one around her waist. Both of them are facing each other, though she has to avert her gaze as she feels her cheeks heat up a little.
It\'s been so long that Cassidy seems to have forgotten how to stay calm around him. Adrian has gotten more and more handsome by the day – but that\'s not the only thing that\'s making her heart pound like crazy.
She feels like something has changed about him.
Or with her. Or maybe both.
"You know, my love, that expression you\'re making right now isn\'t going to be good for me..." he said meaningfully, his lips curling into a playful smirk.
"If you continue to do that, I might do something more than sleep with you tonight."
"N-No, you won\'t…!" Cassidy stammered out, blushing harder.
"And you can\'t in the first place! I\'m still recovering!"
"Still? Oh, so you also wanna do it if you\'re done recovering?"
At that, she combusts on the spot.
He bursts out in a fit of laughter upon seeing her face get redder than it already is. With a fond smile gracing his features, he puts his hand on the back of her head and pulls her closer to him before kissing her forehead lovingly.
"You\'re such a pervert..." she huffed in annoyance, though her fierce blush betrayed her words.
"I don\'t recall you teasing me like this before."
"Maybe because you just didn\'t realize it back then…" he said with a shrug.
"But just so you know, I\'ve always been wanting to do it with you. Even way back before."
"S-Stop hinting it! I can\'t-"
"You can\'t help but imagine? How naughty~"
"Ughhh! You\'re the one who\'s naughty here!"
Time and again, Adrian finds himself so endeared that he can\'t keep himself from grinning. He leans in and captures her lips. Though taken aback, Cassidy complies and returns the gesture, closing her eyes and drawing closer to him.
As he deepens the kiss, he embraces her body possessively with both of his arms. The action takes away any remaining gap between them. With that, they end up feeling each other\'s warmth, which comes out quite soothing. He happily savors her soft, warm lips, keeping it slow and gentle to make the blissful feeling last longer. She is more than happy to do the same, moaning and whimpering from time to time.
Minutes into this make-out session of theirs, they finally pull away to catch their breaths, taking pleasure in each other\'s blushing face all the while.
"Cassidy, may I ask you something...?" he asked, and she nodded.
"Can we go to the rooftop? I want to show you something."
---
Soon after Adrian suggested a late-night stroll under the stars, Cassidy found herself being carried bridal-style with his suit jacket wrapped around her to keep her warm.
He brought her all the way to the rooftop just as he said. But when they arrived, they were greeted by nothingness. There are no lights around. Darkness rules the whole place.
Even then, she is delighted by how bright the stars are shining from up the night sky.
"Wow, I haven\'t seen the stars this close in what seems like a really long time," she mused out loud with her gaze still pointed above.
"We can do this more often from now on. We have all the time in the world," he suggested as he gently put her down.
"I\'m surprised to hear that from a workaholic, but yeah, it does sound good."
"Actually, I\'ve been thinking of taking a very long break."
"Huh? You do?"
That\'s when Adrian spreads a knowing smile. He then grabs her hand and leads her near to the handrails. Cassidy looks at him quizzically, sensing that he\'s about to say something important.
"I\'m planning to go abroad for a while. Of course, I\'ll be taking you with me," he disclosed, taking her aback.
"So, you\'re serious about going to another country, after all?" she asked while tilting her head.
"To be honest, I do want to stay there for good, but since my wife isn\'t up for that idea, I\'ll just settle with a short period of time instead."
"Why do you want to go abroad, by the way?"
"I just want a peaceful life with you. No more drama, no more chaos. I want us to build a family there, too."
Her cheeks flush red at the mention of creating a family. He might as well be saying that he finally wants to have kids with her.
"Besides, we still haven\'t had our honeymoon. Shall we have it soon?"
And again, Cassidy combusted. Indeed, Adrian no longer holds back.
Seeing yet another adorable reaction, he chuckles, both amused and endeared. His wife seems to get flustered too easily nowadays.
She had to take time to let his words settle in. She hadn\'t really thought that far ahead. Even then, she doesn\'t find it displeasing nor uncomfortable. If anything, she feels somewhat giddy and ecstatic just by thinking about it.
"Before any of those things, though, I believe that I still owe you something," Adrian added before dropping on one knee all of the sudden, catching Cassidy off guard.
