He caressed the side of her face and said, "The thing that pulls me towards you is that no matter what time it is, you're unapologetically yourself! Nothing can deter you from being you. And nothing can stop you from saying what you want. Even if you want sex, you are not ashamed to ask for it."
"Should I be?" she asked in return. "If I like it, why should I not ask for it?"
"Most women don't like admitting that they love sex," told Shui Xian. "Because they are afraid that people will call them salacious or wanton. And also because men like reserved women."
"Then are men masochists?" Shui Xian's eyes widened at her question. "The contemporary romance I read for research purposes, there was a scenario that when a woman offered herself to the man, he threw her away but when another woman played hard to get, he was head over heels in love with her. Does it make sense? Doesn't that seem like he was a masochist?"
Shui Xian licked his lips, not knowing what to say to her. Her brain activity was really on the wrong track. He cleared his throat, "Maybe it's because men like things that are hard to attain?"
"Then you don't like me?"
"Where did that come from now?"
"You got me way too easily."
Shui Xian shook his head, "Nope! I had to go through heartbreak and divorce and years of loneliness before I managed to find you. How is that easy?"
Raelle pondered over his words and nodded, "That seems to be true."
"That is true," he insisted. "In fact, it's you who got me too easily."
Raelle nodded again, "That's true. I really got you easily."
Shui Xian knocked his forehead against hers, "Baby, does that mean you don't like me?"
"That's an unnecessary question," replied Raelle. "I won't even be standing here if that was the case."
Shui Xian smiled happily as his nose rubbed against her face, "That's also true." His lips pressed against the corner of her lips as he whispered, "About that ride... When are you taking me on it?"
Raelle didn't even have to think what he was talking about as she gripped his nape and pressed his lips against hers. Her tongue stirred a storm of feelings within him as he pushed her down making her lie down on the hood of the car.
Her other hand went down and gripped his manhood making him gasp.
"Oh, you're quite impatient," stated Raelle. Although there were no feelings in her voice, he seemed to have an illusion that she seemed to be teasing him.
"Are you telling me you're not wet right now?" he retorted with a challenging gaze directed towards her.
*Cough! Cough!*
Both Shui Xian and Raelle paused in their actions and turned their heads towards the door of the house where Shui Koshing was standing covering his eyes with his hands.
"Can you both warn this old man?" he shouted at them. He peeked through his fingers and saw that they had separated. Only then did he put his hands down and say, "Or get a room! Why does it have to be at the entrance?"
"Bà, what are you embarrassed about?" asked Raelle. "Even we don't mind doing it here."
Shui Xian put his hand on her head and stopped her from continuing, "Bà, we just forgot where we were."
"I can see that," said Shui Koshing. "It took me almost three decades to know that my son is a wife-slave. That's a wonderful discovery."
Shui Xian rubbed his nose in embarrassment. It was really not a wonderful feeling to be seen by your own father not once but twice in this kind of situation. But seeing how his wife was standing so confidently, he straightened up as well. That's right! She was his wife! Legal wife! He didn't do anything wrong. Why should he be embarrassed?
"What's a wife-slave?" asked Raelle. "I should look it up."
Shui Xian held her back, "There is no need to."
Shui Koshing stifled his laughter and looked all serious as he said, "Yeah, daughter, you don't have to look it up. Just look at your husband. He is a classic example of a wife-slave."
Shui Xian looked over at his father, "Bà, I haven't gone to the point of being called a wife-slave yet."
"Exactly!" said Shui Koshing. "Not yet. But you're on the road. Your destination isn't that far." He turned to go back inside saying, "Whatever play you both are acting, just come inside and do it. Don't burn other's eyes with your excessive display of passion in broad daylight."
"Bà, are you jealous?" asked Raelle innocently.
"Pfft!" Shui Xian couldn't help it while Shui Koshing's lips pursed up.
Turning back to face his daughter-in-law, Shui Koshing said, "Dear daughter, I am jealous. You both don't have to repeatedly remind me that my wife isn't here anymore."
"I'm sorry for that," said Raelle instantly. "I didn't think it'd hurt you."
Shui Koshing chuckled at her words and walked over to her. Rubbing her head, he said, "I'm not feeling hurt. I actually feel really happy seeing my son and daughter-in-law being so close. But I'm old. It's better if I don't get to see you both being so touchy around me."
"I'll pay attention to that," said Raelle resolutely.
"There is no need to be so serious," said Shui Koshing.
"Then who told you make it sound so serious," argued Shui Xian.
Shui Koshing looked at his son, "There you go again taking a stance for your wife."
"You're the one who told me to always stand on her side!" reminded Shui Xian.
Shui Koshing cleared his throat saying, "Whatever! Just come inside already." He didn't want to argue anymore since he knew that his son was right. He had advised his son to always stand on Raelle's side.. How could he continue this argument? Even he'd stand on her side if he had to.
