"What are you doing?"
David dried his hair. Just finished cleaning his body which a moment ago was covered in sweat due to his new routine with Angeline.
Since that time, David has always woken Angeline in an unusual way. Every morning, the girl always woke up to David's warm kisses on her lips, which continued become a very hot bed game in the morning.
Don't know why, David was rarely home at night these days. Maybe more precisely at the apartment. He always told Angeline to sleep first.
And because of that, they can only do their favorite activities in bed in the morning.
"Watching." replied Angeline, who had a little trouble keeping her focus on the laptop screen on her lap, with a sitting position leaning on the head of the bed. Of course, David's exposed upper body was too hard to resist.
"Watching a movie?" asked David back.
"Yup."
David walked over to the wardrobe and picked up a comfortable T-shirt to wear at home. Today David has nothing important to do with going to the office, so maybe he will just spend time alone with Angeline at home.
Now David sat beside Angeline, tucking Angeline's hair behind her ear so he could kiss her ear. "If I know you want to see a movie, I can rent you a cinema studio."
"Too extravagant. After all, this film hasn't been in theaters for a long time, either."
"What movie is it?"
David was silent for a moment as he looked at the laptop screen that was on Angeline's lap.
There is a man having sex with a woman. Actually it is normal. But what is unusual is the way they make love that seems quite extreme.
David glanced at Angeline, whose eyes were still focused on the laptop screen. "I didn't know you were a 'BDSM' fan."
"Not really. I just like the storyline. So romantic." replied Angeline who tried to be as casual as possible, even though the scene in the film she was watching was hot.
"What makes you think BDSM is romantic?"
Now Angeline exhaled embarrassed and turned to look at David. "I said the storyline, not the way they having sex. Got it?"
David just smiled silently, making Angeline understand that she was being played.
"Can you let me watch a movie in peace? Please."
David agreed to Angeline's request, who had her puppy-eyes expression on. He also lay down with his hands supporting the back of his head.
Several times Angeline glanced at David who was so calmly waiting for her to finish watching the film. On the one hand, she felt sorry for David for making him wait like that. But on the other hand, she really wants to watch a film called Fifty Shades of Gray which has long been discussed on social media.
Although Angeline did not know that David had grown accustomed to soakingly silent for hours with a sniper rifle in hand, waiting for the right moment to drill a hole in someone's head.
Angeline, who could not stand her guilt about David's calm attitude, immediately closed the laptop in her lap, put it on the nearest table and lay down with David.
David turned his head. "Is it over already?"
The girl nodded slowly while wearing a guilty expression. David who saw this brought his face closer and kissed Angeline on the forehead gently to erase any traces of guilt on her beautiful face.
David's sweet treatment can always make Angeline melt.
In her heart, the girl still wondered how someone who was so handsome and had a social status so far above her could fall in love with her. She had always felt that David was beyond her reach as a nobody.
After all, David's being too sweet to her could always destroy any bad prejudice that came to her mind.
"Why don't you watch it until the end? I can still wait." said David, stroking Angeline's head.
The girl shook her head. "I am the one who can't afford to see you waiting for me like that."
"You asked me to let you watch a movie in peace."
Angeline frowned, "I thought you would do something else while waiting for me, but all you do is lie down quietly. Aren't you tired of waiting for me like that?"
David stroked Angeline's face and put his hand on her cheek. Angeline took David's hand which was on her cheek, putting on a guilty expression again.
David smiled. Angeline had expected that the man in front of her would say the sweet words he always said to her again. But what David said next made Angeline chuckle softly.
"So boring. It's like being an undead."
Angeline brought her face closer, kissed David on the lips which he replied at the same tempo. David's kisses and caresses always made Angeline feel strange stings that slowly flowed through her body in a pleasant way.
Angeline finished the kiss by biting David's lower lip with exasperation. It always made David smile. She leaned her head against David's biceps, trying to catch her breath.
"Tell me about yourself." asked Angeline, who still rested her head in David's strong hand.
"I'm handsome, rich, and sexy."
Angeline chuckled softly. "That's not it. I mean tell me things I don't know from you."
"Like what?"
"Umm…" muttered Angeline for a moment. "Maybe, about your past?"
David was silent for a moment.
Should he tell about his past which is filled with bullets and blood?
"David?" asked Angeline, starting to be confused by David's silence.
No.
Angeline should not know about it yet. They weren't that close that David could tell an outrageous thing like his true identity as the mafia that most feared by the whole Underworld.
David was just afraid that Angeline could not accept it and left David, making him return to live alone in a dark road with the smell of murder that he had been living for his whole life.
No. Not that David was getting flabby. His heart was still ruthless and thirst for blood that could never be satisfied, as long as his grudge against those who had framed Hendrick Brasco—his adoptive father—was still unanswered.
But David felt that Angeline was a lamp of light, the only light that could accompany him in the darkness of the path he was on.
And for whatever sake David didn't want to lose that light.
Angeline. The innocent girl who came from nowhere had become something precious to David.
