Chapter 225 - Always connected

After lunch, Lena and Kris went somewhere else together. Kris took Lena outside in the mountains where they reached a shooting range that was different than what Lena was used to. She spent a good few hours with Kris outside before it was time for them to leave. Their weekend was coming to an end and the ride home was long too.

Today was less talking and more understanding Kris by how he sees and do things. Lena saw how Kris interacted with the people who worked for him. Lena observed how he spent his time. They had a long few hours in the car together to speak about for stuff on their life.

As they finally arrived back in City A, Kris slowed down as they drove down the streets with the city lights at night.

This weekend, both of them had deepened their relationship. They were able to learn about each other fears and know what they need to improve on. Having a stable and healthy relationship requires hard work and effort.

Kris actually picked this weekend especially because he will be gone for a week. He had to take care of some overseas business and won't return until Saturday. But he told Lena that he had a family business on the weekend and that he won't be seeing her until Monday.

Lena had not hinted anything to Kris about her being invited to attend the family gathering. After a long weekend with Kris, she knew that he would not mind if he finds out later. Plus, it was somewhat nice to actually see what Kris' reaction would be and how he acted when he was with his "family."

Kris parked the car in the underground parking lot. Lena got out first and walked over to the elevator. She pressed the up button and waited for the elevator to come down.

"What are you doing?" Kris walked over.

"Going home? Didn't you say you were going to stay at my place until you leave in the morning?"

"I did... but didn't I tell you that your place was getting a makeover?" Kris smiled at Lena's confused reaction.

He grabbed her hand and lead her to the speed elevator. He pressed the up button and the elevator quickly opened. Kris pulled Lena inside the elevator with him.

"Look." He said so proudly as he pressed a new button on the speed elevator that says "Lena."

"Oh my gosh... you didn't?!"

"Oh yes, I did."

"Did you blew up my living room?!"

The speed elevator was located and purposely made just for Kris originally, so if he connected it to Lena's place, then it must have somewhere inside her apartment already.

"Of course. I thought you would be happier." Kris questioned her reaction.

"I am not complaining..." Lena replied. "I would live with you someday anyway, right?"

Kris laughed and kissed Lena's hand. "Yes. But this way we would be always connected... until then."

The elevator stopped at Lena's floor and she was curious what other things she did to her apartment. The door opened and Lena stepped out first.

Nothing was changed much but she noticed that her door was definitely replaced. Kris must have installed a higher security system. She walked to her bedroom and immediately noticed that her bed was also changed.

It was an extra-large king-sized bed. Lena quickly went to the bed and pressed her hand on it, making sure it was soft and not hard like Kris' bed.

"I made sure it was to your preference," Kris spoke as he entered the room with Lena.

"I know... I was just making sure." Lena cleared her throat. "Why such a big bed though? We don't need it this big..."

"What do you mean? I might so rough and tossed you on the floor... you never know. Unless you want to do it on the floor too."

"Please. I can do it anywhere with you." Lena retorted back. "Ah!!"

Kris quickly picked Lena up and tossed her to the bed. He lied down with her, hugged her waist and giving her a kiss on the lips. "Don't take back your words."

Lena put her hands on his neck and flipped him over so he was on the bottom and she was on top.

"I wouldn't dare."

Lena pecked him on the lips before getting off the bed. She fixed her hair a bit and look back at Kris who was still on the bed.

"You go shower first while I cook us something."

"Mhm." Kris nodded and got off the bed. He took off his shirt as Lena left the room.

They were only gone for the weekend so Lena's fridge should still be stock with some food. She opened it and saw that Kris must had his people stock her fridge with more items. She looked at what she had and made something delicious for Kris.

She was not going to see him for a very long time. As Kris took his time to shower, Lena continued to cook. When he was done, he walked out to see Lena taste her food. She glanced at him, hearing his soft footsteps.

Lena was getting used to his presense and his soft hidden footsteps.

"Oh good, you're done. Finish up while I shower." Lena took off her apron and handed it to Kris along with the stirring spoon. "And make sure to set the table too. Don't let it cook too long, just 5 more minutes."

"Yes." Kris nodded obediently.

Lena smiled and kissed him in the cheek. "You smell like me." She spoke before running off to the bedroom.

Lena had not bought any neutral or male shampoo for Kris so he was still using her lavender shampoo and body wash.

Lena quickly took a shower. She check up on Kris after she was done before going back to the bedroom to dry her hair.

When she was done, they spend a good half hour eating and then sat on the sofa together to watch just an episode of a chinese drama.

Kris did not understand why Lena like these stuff but he just stared at her the entire time anyways. He can never get tired of her. He was going to not see her for awhile... he will really miss her this time.

After the episode was done, Kris picked up Lena and they both entered the bedroom. Kris was leaving very early in the morning so Lena did not force him to stay up much longer with her to keep watching more chinese dramas.

Lena cuddle up against Kris. Kris already told her that she might not be able to contact him since he would be offline for awhile but he would contact her as soon as he can. Lena did not complain. This was just the first test in their relationship... which was distance.

"Would I be able to go with you next time?" Lena asked.

"I don't think so."

Lena lifted her head and made a sad face at Kris. Once was ok... but she would really want to go with him next time.

Kris pulled Lena closer to him and kissed her in the forehead. "Next time I leave for something like this again, you would be carrying my baby."

"What?!"

"What? You think you're going to have your last baby when you are 50? Of course we would start as soon as we get married, right?" Kris answered her reaction.

"Well... yes." Lena did not refute.

"It's not something dangerous. I just don't want you to travel too far, you'll get home sick very easy."

"My definition of 'not dangerous' or yours?" Lena asked.

"Of course yours. I am with you so I need to speak your language." Kris joked.

Lena tightly bugged Kris. "Make sure to kiss me goodbye before you leave."

"Mhm..."
