I woke up the next day immediately checking my phone and saw that it was a little past 11 am, and I groaned as my head pounded laying back on the beg stretching my arm to my left to find it empty.
I sighed as I remembered that it was late and he would most likely have left to God knows where he goes everyday.
I was laying there on the bed for a few minutes in my thoughts when my stomach began to growl and sighed crawling out of bed and hopped in the shower taking a bath then brushed my teeth feeling half dead.
I got dressed in my robe as I crawled down the stairs being careful as not to irritate my ankle to the kitchen filling a cup at the tap and swallowed the aspirin exhaling as I allowed my head to fall back as I leaned on the counter.
I stayed like that for a while enjoying the silence and sun when I heard the clearing of a throat behind me and I sighed opening my eyes and re adjusting my neck to address him, "yes? Can I help you Joongki?"
"I'm sorry to interrupt ma'am. I was just making sure if you were okay. You know since you sprained your ankle and you look kind of like-"
"Like shit?" I asked chuckling and he lowly chuckled.
"No I uhh actually was going to say that you look like you were in pain."
"I'm fine. I was just taking an aspirin for my head ache. Nothing too serious. Don't worry, I'm not dying yet."
He chuckled at my remark and I smiled as I walked past him towards the fridge, "hey by the way, have you any idea where Shiwoo goes off to daily?"
" I think to speak to potential allies, but I'm not too sure. I have no business in his business ma'am. I am just here to keep my mouth shut and keep you safe."
"At ease soldier," I teased, "it's my business to know his where abouts though should incase anything happens. His safety is my business."
"I'm sure that he is fine ma'am. He can take care of his self should anything unexpected happens. You on the other hand must be watched."
I gasped offended at his words placing a hand on my chest and his eyes widened, "I beg your pardon? I am very much able of taking care of my self sir."
"Oh no no ma'am I meant that-umm-what I meant was."
I chuckled at his distress as he seemed as if he was about to sweat bullets, "relax Joongki. I'm messing with you. Besides, I like the company. I'm bored out of my mind in this house. I kinda miss Mingi though. I wish I didn't get him in trouble. I should apologies," I said then an idea popped up, "yes I should apologies. I should make him and you all a meal. I haven't cooked since we got we got here so why not. Lets see what we have in the fridge."
"Oh no no ma'am you don't have to." said Joongki as I rummaged through the fridge not finding any thing good enough to cook.
"None sense. I want to. Now let's go shopping."
I was about to head to the front door when Joongki stopped me pointing to my robe and my face heated up for I wasn't wearing anything underneath.
"Oh-umm. I'll be right back." I slowly made my way up the stairs and hurriedly drew on an ankle length summer dress for putting jeans right now would be too much work.
I took up a bucket hat and placed it on my head grabbing my sunglasses and hopping out the door after grabbing my shoes and putting on deodorant.
Joongki helped me the rest of the way to the car after meeting me at the bottom of the stairs and we were now off to Moscow.
The two hour drive surprisingly went by fast with us chatting and making jokes.
Joongki was actually such a sweet guy and he even had a family.
He showed me his son and wife and wed at how cute they were, but also felt bad that he had to leave them to come all the way here.
He reassured me that it was his job, but that made me want to cook him a home cooked meal even more for I knew he missed his wife's.
Although we were here strictly for groceries, me being me couldn't help myself from doing window which some turned into actually shopping, but with my money this time.
Joongki carried my bags as we walked down the street when I walked past a café when I completely backed up noticing a familiar back.
I removed my glasses as I squinted to make sure gasping when the identity was confirmed.
How dare he.
"Umm Joongki. Could you bring these groceries and other bags to the car for me please?" I asked as he nodded looking in the direction that I was picking.
"Sure thing Miss Tally. I'll wait for you in the car." I gave him a thin lipped smile as I nodded taking in a deep breath as I walked up to their table.
"Ouu this looks fun. Fancy seeing you here." I said walking up to them and they looked surprised.
"Oh Tally! What are you doing here!?" asked Shiwoo standing up shocked, "is you ankle okay?"
"Oh don't worry babe I'm fine. Can I sit?" I asked and he pulled up a chair from the next table and I sat between then smiling at Kira, "wassup Kira? I like your top. Makes the boobs look nice."
"Ah thank you. I like you dress and that you aren't wearing a bra. I stand by the 'Free the Titty" movement" she joke and I laughed humorlessly.
"Hey hey Kira, my woman." said Shiwoo putting his hand over my chest blocking it as she stared.
"Woah woah easy tiger. I don't go for married women. Although, I'd be willing to try." she said winking and she clicked her tongue and my eyes widened.
"Wait you're a lesbian!?" I asked a bit too loudly that the other customers stared at us glaring.
"Ha ha yes I am. Thanks for telling the whole world."
"I'm sorry" I apologized twisting my finger and she chuckled at me.
"I can't believe that you are gay. I mean not like there is nothing wrong with it I mean this is great. I am glad you are gay. What a relief! I rambled on as she kept smiling at me and I blushed.
"You're cute. I can see why Shiwoo likes you, and don't worry. Even if I weren't gay I wouldn't go for him. Especially since he is married."
"Well we are not married actually. I just said that since I felt threatened, but now that I no longer am uhh, surprise!?"
"Well that's nice. Maybe I do have a chance then." she winked at me and my ears heated up.
"I'm sorry for yesterday and I'm sorry for the things I said and thought about you. I also am sorry to say that you had major surgeries, but it was because you are so God damn beautiful with the most perfect smile and I was so jealous." I ranted.
She laughed at my words and I smiled when Shiwoo cleared his throat, "I hope you two aren't flirting with each other or I am going to have to take you home Tally nd remind you of how good my dick is."
"Oh hush boy the women are talking," I said waving him off and he pouted and I returned my attention to Kira, "so umm, do you have a girlfriend?"
"Umm no. I actually just got out of a one long relationship so I'm just focusing on my self right now."
I hummed as she spoke and I frowned feeling sorry for her, "oh no I'm so sorry. An entire year gone down the drain huh?"
"No no it's fine really. She has taught me how to actually love, not only others but myself. She has taught me many valuable life lessons like how to be humble and be humble so I will use those lessons in life to continue to grow. You and Shiwoo now you have a strong connection. He was actually telling me about your history and I am not one to believe in faith, but I think that this is. Don't let petty misunderstandings and fights get between you two for what you have is rare and beautiful. Cherish it."
I looked her in the eyes then I looked at Shiwoo was already staring at me and he wrapped his hand around my waist pulling me close.
"I love you." he said and I smiled.
"I love you two big head."
"Well I have to get going. My lunch break ends soon and I have to get back to work. It was nice speaking and catching up with you Shiwoo, and to you Atalia it was nice seeing you again and I hope your ankle gets better. Take good care of her Shiwoo." she said standing up as she grabbed her purse winking at me before she left and I blushed a little.
I was smiling a little as I watched her walk out being mesmerized by the way she walks giving that 'Boss Lady' vibes when I turned to see Shiwoo squinting at me scrutinizing, "do you like girls Atalia?"
I gasped as I placed a hand on my chest standing up as I hopped out the café with him walking behind.
"Hey let me help you. You look like a penguin waddling." he said as he as came and stooped in front of my and I climbed on his back.
"Weee!" I giggled as he carried me to his car buckling me in when I remembered Joongki, "oh wait Shiwoo I need to call Joongki."
I picked up my phone from my dress pockets as I dialed his number and he picked up in a few seconds, "is everything alright?"
"Yes everything is fine. I am actually going to ride with Shiwoo so you can go ahead on home. We will follow you."
"Okay." he simply said into the phone hanging up. Not a man of many words.
As soon as I removed the phone from my air Shiwoo leaned across his seat and placed long sweet kiss onto my lips and I was quite surprised.
I was blushing and suddenly became all shy when he returned to his seat, "but what was this?"
"To remind you why you are straight."
I chuckled as I rolled my eyes at him, "are you scared that you will turn me into a lesbian too?"
"Oh please I did not turn her. She must have been for a long time and thought that liking me would changed her or something." he responded sounding offended and I chuckled.
"Okay. Whatever you say Mr. Lesbian maker. You should be proud. Some super power you have there huh. Gifted haha!"
"Stop!" he whined pouting and I pinched his cheek, "I am not and the ladies love me."
"Not Kira though. She loves me." I continued teasing through my laughs and he slouch pouting as he drove us to the house.
He was so petty and ignored me all the way, but I was having too much fun teasing him.
Ha ha.
I will not let him live this one down.
