This Time, It's Forever

For the whole two weeks, it feels like a dream for her. Waking up with Dylan still by his side. Sleeping, looking ever so handsome. And when it's night he will make himself comfortable before pulling her close to him. As it seems like he have a thing pulling her close to him and the moment she move away, no matter how deep he sleep automatically he will pull her towards her and kisses her head lightly. Even thinking of going to the toilet in the middle of the night, she had to pinch his arm because he wouldn't let go. She changed her usual 'single' life routine and leaving other jobs to her employee. She no longer woke up as early as 4 a.m. Only to wake up at 6 a.m and prepared for their breakfast. Cooking for him is easy. And knowing his dislikes is pretty simple. No matter how much he try to hide it but she would always pick it up and take note. But like any other day, she will always this one question hanging above her head. It's like a silent torture for her at the same time. She wanted to know how long is he staying but decided to keep a mum about it since she's scared that she would hear a disappointing answer. Like this is fine and not fine at the same time. Asking Jake is like asking a rock. Many times she feels like throwing this 'rock' because it is rather frustrating. With Dylan around, she could no longer threaten him nor annoyed Jake like she used to. Dylan would be extremely jealous. She sighed heavily not realizing a pair of black eyes staring at her over a cup of coffee.

"Why you do that for? You'll injured my IQ." Lyla frown while rubbing her forehead. It didn't hurt a bit but probably it's how everyone would react unconsciously. She's not an exception.

"I'm surprised the world needs you to solve their problem. You'll exhaust yourself." Lyla scrutinized at him trying to decipher his meaning. He let a small smile making her annoyed all of the sudden.

"You're supposed to support me for doing good deeds." she retaliate by going along with his hidden sarcasm.

"I would but i love my wife more."

"..."

Eventually, he won because he can easily make her speechless. Lyla face somehow feels hot and she had a feeling her face is changing its color. However Dylan didn't give any comment about her changes. Instead he gave a teasing smile making her feel defeated all the more.

"Fine, i'll just asked. How long are staying here?" She surrendered. Somehow she had a feeling he knew what she have been thinking this whole time.

"And here i was thinking you would never ask." He smile once again making Lyla annoyed.

"Hubbyyy..." she gritted her teeth and call him using his favorite endearment.

"If you have been paying attention on our first morning together, then you wouldn't have torment yourself with this ridiculous question." he casually answer before drinking his coffee. The coffee that his wife makes suits his taste. Better than what he usually have. Probably because Lyla would pick up the bean and roast them to her perfection and grind them all by herself. Surprisingly even with no additional sugar there's always a certain sweetness would lingered on his tongue. For him, it tasted just like her.

"You really mean that? I thought it was just one of your sweet talk like any other men would do."

"Oh,,, whose other men?" A sudden green aura coming from him making Lyla speechless. To soothe his jealous side, she quickly sat on his thigh and put her hands around his neck. He's only looking at her and not showing any emotion.

"Hubby, other men wouldn't do that to me. It was from the all tv drama and romantic movies. Don't the actor always have sweet tongue just to pamper their love one? And you're doing it to me also because i'm your wife. That is what i basically mean. And you know i don't fall for others sweet talk. I only fall for yours."

"But you didn't fall for my sweet talk when i said i'm staying here with you from now on." Lyla had a dumbfounded look on her face when her coaxing didn't work. Instead he insist on tormenting her. Why does it feels like her IQ really did got injured after he flicked her forehead just now?

"But hubby, that time i was distracted by your magnificent self. How could i concentrate on what you're saying. I was already happy to see you there and to actually hug you is like my greatest gift." This time, Dylan went speechless. He pulled her face closely towards him and kiss him passionately. It was not like any of his usual kisses for these past few days. This time, he licked her lips and nibble on it lightly before opening her mouth and letting his tongue taste her mouth.

Lyla was shocked at first but gradually she responded. Her heart flutters with his every touch. She didn't expect he would kiss her like this because he usually just kiss her lightly or give a peck on her mouth. Never this passionately. Making her feeling hot and breathless. When he finally stop, both of them are feeling breathless. He notice the flush on her face making him feeling satisfied. He stroke cheek and stare at her.

"Lyla, my wife. Listen carefully. From today onward, i will always be by your side. I chose you over everything and things might get rough from now on but it's fine. And there will be danger intruding your once peaceful life. But i will always protect you from now on. To be by your side no matter what happen." He said in a serious mode, making Lyla look at him in a serious way also.

"For better and for worse, i will be by your side as well." Lyla answer him making Dylan feeling warm.

"Even when i'm no longer the King in the business world?"

"Would they dare to overthrow my King?"

"Even we might end up penniless?"

"Do we need to be filthy rich?"

"Even if i'm no longer the heir of Wright?"

"I only know you as my Dylan Wright. My husband." After hearing her words, he feels like he won a lifetime achievement. A precious trophy and his own treasure. He start kissing her again and suddenly lift her up before headed to their bedroom. That morning, they uses their extra energy for something better to celebrate their oath.
