De Lawrence: Ambition of the Past
Warm Moments
Minutes change hours, hours change days and days change weeks. Ever since the failed opportunity that night, both of them were completely strangers on one roof.
Xavier returns to his activities, as well as Jessie. I don't know how long the two's mouths have been locked just to greet each other. However, this evening Jessie finds Xavier sipping a cigarette on the balcony of their room with a cup of coffee.
Xavier who was staring at the dark of the night while taking a sip was suddenly shocked because someone pulled the cigarette out of his mouth and broke it. When she turned her head, Jessie had already thrust out a sprig of candy with a flat face as usual.
"If you want to die, not now. I don't want to be a widow yet."
"What?" Xavier's forehead shriveled.
Seeing that the candy in her hand had not been taken, Jessie grabbed the man's hand and placed it herself.
"It tastes sweeter than yours." After saying that, Jessie went back inside. Xavier stared at the wonder of the candy in his hand.
A few seconds later, Xavier woke up. His face immediately turned irritated while staring at the balcony door.
"Who wants to die!" next, throw the candy on the table, then catch up with Jessie.
"I'm hungry! Make me eat." Knock on the bathroom door in a row.
"I'm your wife, not your maid" Jessie replied casually as she closed her eyes. He was soaking in the bath up comfortably until Xavier's voice disturbed his ears.
"It's also a wife's duty. Hurry on!" Still knocking.
A while later, Xavier had already stopped interfering, but remained waiting until the woman came out.
Before long the door opened, featuring Jessie with a white towel on her knees and her wet hair staring flat at Xavier who was instantly nervous.
Damnit damnit! That woman was teasing him?
"Hurry now!" Turn away faces. Something's standing down there.
"Two weeks you treated me like I didn't exist. What wind are you talking to me about, even telling me to cook?"
"Can't really?" ketus Xavier's. Swallowed her saliva as Jessie approached while pinching.
"Your sister is awake" whispered Jessie on her tiptoes by her ear mocking and immediately ran towards the changing room.
"JESSIE!" I don't know how red her face is now because of embarrassment. The woman's laughter came from inside the room.

"Hows it? Yummy, right?" Jessie with a chin.
"It's normal." But her hands continued to bribe voraciously, making Jessie cluck.
Jessie made fried rice with potluck ingredients because that was all that was left. It's almost 1 p.m. The groceries may have run out because both almost always come home late.
"Why not cook for you, too?" Xavier stared hard.
"Gee ... Your gaze seemed to be worrying about me," he chanted, but Xavier was still staring at him sharply.
"That's all that's left" Jessie continued.
"Come," Xavier's orders.
"What?"
"You are!" Xavier impatiently pulled Jessie's hand to move to sit next to him.
"Open your mouth." I'm going to feed Jessie.
Jessie was a little dazed at first and surprised, but then she smiled and accepted Xavier's feed.
"It's delicious. Where's usual?"
jessie protests.
"Yes." Yeah." Only Xavier responds while continuing to bribe alternately for himself and Jessie.
"I want the eggs." Xavier.
"I don't like nuts." Jessie shakes, though,
rejecting Xavier's bribe. Again the man complied by putting it in his own mouth.
Jessie continues to babble which is always obeyed by Xavier. The man subconsciously did the thing that was outside his head.
"Let me bribe you too!" Grabbing spoon Xavier.
"Open your mouth."
Seeing Jessie's sincere and cheerful smile made Xavier's heart warm. That smile was different from the smile Jessie had that she used to display.
Not only Xavier, the person behind the door also smiled warmly looking at the two. Comfort arose in Rachel's heart seeing their warmth.
Hopefully one day Jessie and Xavier can be a couple who accept each other without coercion again. They just need to convince each other.
