Chapter 123 - Ginseng

"Do you know the benefits of the ginseng tea?" Fitz asked.

"Not so much. All I know is it's good for the health. Would you tell me then?" KM replied then continued to sip her tea.

"Hmm... I know there are 7 benefits of ginseng: 1. Potent Antioxidant That May Reduce Inflammation 2. May Benefit Brain Function 3. Could Improve Erectile Dysfunction 4. May Boost the Immune System 5. May Have Potential Benefits Against Cancer 6. May Fight Tiredness and Increase Energy Levels 7. Could Lower Blood Sugar." Fitz enumerated then sipped his cup of tea.

"Wow, you really know it each of the benefits by heart ha?" KM was amazed.

"I've researched about it recently, in my desire to add some kinds of crops to be planted in my farm. But it takes 4-6 years planted before you could harvest it, so I didn't proceed planting ginseng on my farm."

"I see. I know you have acres and acres of land, with you farming it all alone, you don't get tired or bored having no one to help you?" KM queried.

"I got tired sometimes though. But seeing the crops grow and some animals grow in my farm motivates me, for I have some lives that needed my care of. Although, I have to admit that I needed a wife to be my partner to help me take care of them. But I'm patiently waiting for the right time and the right woman. I'm hoping it would be you KM, if you give me a chance to gain your love and trust." Fitz smiled and winked at her.

"Fitz, you're ruggedly handsome, responsible, sweet and kind. However, didn't I told you earlier to wait for my answer on the fourth week? I've got my career to take care of. Besides, I got some other suitors other than you, that I'm taking my sweet time to get to know them before I would choose who is really the one for me. Now, whether or not you will pursue me further, I'm sorry, but that's not up to you. For in the right time, I will decide who among you will I choose. I just want it to be clear to you." KM feeling slightly annoyed.

"Oh, sorry if you get annoyed by my persistence. You don't have to feel that way. I'll wait then. But in the meantime, allow me to send you flowers everyday from this day forward." Fitz reached out her hand and kissed it.

"Okay then. It's getting late, can we go home now?" KM trying to calm herself.

"Okay."

After paying their bill, they silently went out of the restaurant. Fitz opened the car door for her and buckled her seatbelt for her. Then he gently closed the car and proceeded to the driver's seat and began driving.

It took him some courage before he initiated a conversation between them, while driving.

"Thank you for our date. I enjoyed most of it. And thank you for teaching me how to use the chopsticks." Fitz managed to release a smile even after discovering that she has some temper and that she's frank and somewhat ruthless.

"Oh that? hmm.You're welcome. Thank you for our date as well. I enjoyed most of it too." KM slightly smiled back. The feeling of being annoyed have dissipated and she's calm now.

In few minutes, they have arrived at KM's house. Fitz quickly unbuckled his seatbelt after turning the ignition off and proceeded to slowly unbuckle KM's seatbelt for her.

She could hear his breathing and could smell his scent closely when she heard him whispered, "Can I kiss you?"

Shocked at his question she thought in a split seconds and then replied, "Hmmm, okay, but only in my cheeks."

Fitz upon hearing her, immediately cupped her face and turned it to face him and kissed her on her lips instead. In his mind, "Hmm, you're ruthless ha, let's see if you will not be melted in my sweet kiss, hehehe."

Shocked at his sudden move, KM tried to push him away while struggling in her thoughts to say, "Didn't I told you that kiss me only in my cheeks? Why are you stubbornly claiming my lips now?" while her brows raised and opened eyes.

She tried to get away from their kiss, but the more she struggled, the more he became stronger in his grip of her and his kisses deepened as his tongue managed to enter her mouth, surfacing her tongue.

Feeling helpless, KM stopped struggling and realized in her thoughts, "Damn, he's a good kisser too and his scent is uniquely masculine." Subconsciously, she got carried away and reciprocated his kiss. Their tongues danced together at a seemingly rhythm.

Upon noticing that she responded his kiss, Fitz deepened his kiss and got carried away too by her kiss and their tongues continued to dance together with a rhythm. In his thoughts, "She's so sweet and I wanted to devour her right at this moment."
