After Tian Yuo hung up on Karen, her mood instantly turned into a devil's wrath as her nails ripped all the cushions and pillows in her room. Feathers floated all over the place, creating a scattered carpet of light feathers. "Yin Susu, it's all your fault! You seductress! I will make sure that you will learn your damn place at the family dinner! Just you wait as you see everyone dote on me and forget about you."
Since this was an annual family dinner, Zin Leung attempted to reach out to Susu's cell phone, but was sent to her automated voicemail. After leaving a message for her, he left her a text message to make sure that she received the time and location. He tried to keep his message short and on point to cover up the guilt he had in his heart since seeing her cry at the hospital.
"Susu, it's daddy. We've decided to have a family celebration for you and Karen's birthday at Grandoise restaurant. The address is 140 Stroy Street and dinner begins at 6:30. We're all hoping to see you there."
When he called, Susu was in the living room watching a horror movie with Chen Mu next to her with the ligts all turned off. They were cuddled up in one blanket and every time a jump scare pops up on the screen, she would duck under the blanket while moving closer to him. She didn't notice, but his arms had been around her and would rub her back when she gets scared.
Chen Mu was never fond of any type of movies. The only time he would sit down to watch one is with Susu because she is a horror fan, but a scaredy-cat. Every time she jumped from her spot and hugged him closer, a smile and low chuckle would come from him.
He found it extremely adorable when she would cover three-fourths of her face, leaving only her eyes out in the open to watch the movie and then bury her head to his chest when scary moments pop up. At one point, he definitely swore to himself that horror movies was the best choices for couples.
Since they were watching a movie, their phones were put into vibration setting in case of emergencies if they set it to silent mode. In the middle of the climax scene of the movie where the ghost looks straight at the camera and screamed out, "I'm going to get you!," Zin Leung called and her phone vibrated on the couch; startling her greatly.
"Oh my god!!!!" her arms wrapped around his shoulders and head hid in his neck. He was still facing the television, but she was now facing him while sitting on his lap with her legs on either side of his body. As her heart raced like it could jump out at any moment, her breathing also quickened. He could feel every breath that she was inhaling and slowly exhaling on his neck, sending tingle sensations all over his body.
This time, he gulped and didn't dare let out a chuckle. His arms were around her tiny waist with his fingers interlocked as he whispered, "It's alright. Just a movie. I'm here... I'm here..." He started stroking the back of her head and pulling the blanket over her body, so she won't feel cold.
Since young, she had a habit of pulling the blankets above her head to hide from scary things. This time was not an exception as her left hand dragged the blanket and covered both of them. Not only was the movie now playing in the background with no audience watching it, the two were in their own little space on top of each other.
Even after she calmed down, she remained in the same position. It was dark under the blankets and only they knew that they were smiling on their own faces. Susu's slightest movements would make him move his body since they were wrapped together like a bun at the moment.
She could feel his chin resting on her head and a part of her really wanted to see his expression. She wanted to see if he was feeling disturbed by her presence being this close and intimate to his body. Therefore, she decided to tilt her head up after finding his face using her fingers. When her cold fingertips touched his soft lips, back and forth, she could trace the shape of his widening smile.
At the same time, her other hand was on his chest, feeling his heart beat quickening per second. Finally, he couldn't take it anymore and parted his lips to playfully play tag with her fingertip. She giggled because she knew he would never bite her fingertips. He was embarrassed by her finger movement.
She could feel her pulse rising and her head subconsciously tilting upwards with expectations of seeing his handsome face in the dark. When she looked up, he also tilted his head down to meet her eyes. Their lips happened to be a few centimeters away from each other, leaving each other breathless. Each inhales and exhales their bodies made could be felt by each other.
The hand that playfully rubbed his lips just now slowly caressed his sharp jaw line in the dark. As if their visions were the one that belonged to cats, they could trace each other's facial features and carefully observed each curve and soft lines on each other's face.
This was the first time that Susu had felt the urge to get closer and feel someone's lips on hers. The soft lips that she felt using her fingertips lingered in her mind as she thought of how great it would feel against her rosy lips. Since her lips were chapped earlier, she had applied a great lip balm that helped recover the original soft texture of her fine lips.
After a while of staring into each other's gaze, he whispered, "I..I think we should.. mphhhh" His words were cut off as her lips smacked against his and her body made him lean onto the couch. His arms tightened around her body as he accepted her sloppy amateur kisses.
Strictly speaking, this was their first kiss as adults. While the horror movie screams continued playing, they were too occupied with pecking each other's lips slowly as if they were exploring their relationship to another level.
