Chapter 47 - Great Wall of China

When Kevin saw Silvia standing near the door, he quickly grabbed his bathrobe and started wearing it saying," I am so sorry I have a habit of staying alone. So I-"

" It's fine." Silvia said.

Grabbing a towel and her bathrobe, Silvia said," You can change while I take a quick shower." before walking inside the washroom.

When Silvia came outside, Kevin was fully dressed in his boxers and t-shirt and was busy making the bed. No wait, he was busy making their bed.

Biting her lower lip, Silvia said," Hmm Kevin can you step out for sometime. I'll quickly change and then you can come in."

Kevin nodded his head and said," Ya sure just tell me when you are done.The dryer is in the third drawer." before walking out of the room.

…

Meanwhile.

In the middle of a remote road, Martha was trying to hail a cab because unexpectedly her car broke down.

Just then a black Mercedes stopped in front of her. 

Opening the passenger seat for her, Chris said," Get in."

Ignoring him Martha kept in looking for a cab.

" It's almost twelve Martha you are not getting anything from here. Just get in and let me drop me." Chris said.

Martha thought for a while before hopping inside the car.

…

Starting the engine, Chris said," I-"

Cutting him off, Martha said," Stop don't say anything. I don't wanna hear you voice. Keep your shitty mouth shut and drive."

Chris sighed and helplessly shook his head.

After driving for quite some time, Chris stopped in front of a cream colour house.

" Thanks." Martha said flatly before opening the door.

Grabbing her wrist, Chris asked," How long Martha?  It's already been three years."

Jerking his hand off, Martha said," Until you die out of guilt." Before getting out of the car and storming into her house.

When Chris saw her safely entering her house, he took a deep breath. Leaning against the headboard, Chris closed his eyes trying to control his overwhelming emotions. 

After stepping into her house, Martha slowly made her way towards the window.

When she saw Chris' car standing in the exact same place, she sighed helplessly. 

Leaning against the wall, she took a deep breath and closed her eyes to calm herself down.

….

Kevin and Silvia's place.

" Kevin you can come in now." Silvia shouted.

When Kevin stepped into the room, Silvia was applying her night cream.

Walking towards the bed, Kevin said," Silvia you take the bed and I'll sleep here in the couch." before grabbing a pillow.

Glancing at the couch, Silvia frowned and said," This couch is like half your size."

" I'll manage." Kevin said.

Snatching the pillow from him, Silvia said," You take the bed and I'll sleep here. I am comparatively smaller and I'll fit well here." 

Kevin shook his head and said," No I cannot let you sleep here. Be good and take the bed."

Glancing at the huge king size bed, Silvia said," Umm I think this bed is big enough to fit both of us."

Kevin awkwardly cleared his throat and said," I don't think it's a really good idea."

Pausing for a while, Kevin said," We both are clearly attracted to each other and I don't want things to happen between us like this. You are understanding what I am trying to say right?"

Silvia nodded her head and said," Hmm I do understand but I think we are gonna be fine. You take your side and I'll take mine. We can make a cute little wall of pillows between us so that we stay within our boundaries."

Kevin thought for a while and said," Okay."

After creating a small little wall between them, Silvia said," You see, this wall is great."

Kevin chuckled and said," Oh yes your wall is greater than the Great Wall of China."

Silvia rolled her eyes and said," Don't make fun of my wall."

Placing his palm on her eyes, Kevin said," Will you stop doing that."

Grabbing his wrist, Silvia removed his hands and rolled her eyes once again and asked," What are you talking about?"

" You-" Kevin said before grabbing her two tiny fragile wirst with his left hand.

" Hey let it go." Silvia said.

Tickling her stomach, Kevin said," Uh huh roll your eyes now."

Bursting into laughter, Silvia jerked her body left and right and said," No no haha Kevin don't."

Letting her wrist go, Kevin used both his hands to tickle her and said," Now what happened roll your eyes, roll roll."

Silvia somehow managed to take her tiny hands near his stomach and started tickling him too.

Kevin chuckled and said," No point wifey your husband doesn't feel ticklish at all."

Kevin flinched when Silvia suddenly pinched his waist.

Grabbing her wrist with his both his hands on the either side or her body, Kevin chuckled and asked," Now what are you-" he stopped talking when he realised how intimate their position was.
