Chapter 360 - 356 Hug Please

((( Jasmin POV's )))

Love was indeed a gamble.

You win or you lose.

You are risking your chance every time you let yourself fall for someone without really a clue where love will take you or what it could compel you to do….If whether it'll make you happier or bury you deeper into the pits of loneliness.

Me?

I was thankful that this guy's a businessman with a trump card to always turn the tables to his favor.

And because he gambled...for love. He never gave up on me. I didn't know if we were fated but as far as I know... he suddenly came into my life…turned my life… Until we were at the point of parenthood. It was obviously clear...that he's the only person who made me this happy.

Thank you Rhio.

I hope you enjoyed being with me too.

I held his hand too until he woke up.

"…oh," he gazed at his watch, "I fell asleep."

I inched away from the space I'm sitting on to give him some room in the bed.

"... and you need to sleep again," I said, "You can sleep here."

He smiled and pinched my nose.

"... I'll just sleep with you...once you've recovered properly."

I slapped the back of his neck. Pervert.

"Forget it...I didn't remember you were a possessed flirt," I said.

I was about to sit back to the heart of the bed when he immediately sat up to take the space I freed for him. Our gazes locked. And he smiled widely.

"Baby Kevin is asleep…ouchhh!" I pinched his side.

"Quiet please."

"That hurts, Jasmin." I just smiled and hugged him.

"There you go, this is all I want," he smiled back.

"Ep... just a hug."

"Why? Do you think I'll do something else? "

"Nothing…"

"…We'll get to that 'nothing' part soon." I didn't respond.

I missed hugging him and him hugging me back.

So I wasn't surprised at all when...

"I wish we could just stay like this... Rhio."

But he suddenly laughed. I pulled myself away from him. He was surprised when I looked at him seriously.

"What's that stare for?"

"You're laughing too loud as if nobody else is sleeping here...Besides, do you think I'm trying to be funny? Get off my bed."

"Can you please repeat what you said?" So annoying... I'll just go instead.

"Was it like this Jasmin?" he cleared his throat and imitated my voice, "I wish we could just stay like this... Rhio."

Damn...I could kick him out untimely.

"Okay... I'm gonna sleep now... hug please," he said.

I just took a deep breath. For a few days, I didn't see his smile nor heard him laugh like that.
