Chapter 194 - Now shoo (2/2)
”Why?”
”Becuase we might get married tomorrow if you stay here.”
”I don't mind that.”
”I do, now shoo!”
Kris chuckled at left to go back to his room.
Lena plopped down back to her bed and squealed onto the pillow. She felt like a big weight on her chest have been lifted off. She was curious about everything Kris' went through but everything will take time. She happily dozed off to dreamland.
She woke up the next day with a dozen notifications from her parents. They wanted her home since she killed off another man in her life, that being Ming Zhao, and they have not seen her for a while.
Lena realized she went to sleep in uncomfortable clothes. She went to the bathroom to get ready. The small closet in the room has several different clothes and Lena picked one for her.
The sun was just rising and the boat was already parked on the shore since last night after they finished their dinner. She went out and into the room next door. Without even knocking she slowly opened the door and entered Kris' darkroom.
In an instant, Kris turned around and pointed a gun at Lena. She stopped but he immediately withdrew it once he noticed it was Lena. He ruffled his hair. Lena continued to walk to him and sat on the bed.
She touched his face. ”Did you have a nightmare? You're sweating.”
”Yeah...” He did not want to start lying to her now since yesterday he was the one that asked for a real relationship... and honest one between themselves. ”Did you need something?”
Lena got up and grabbed a towel. ”You go shower first.”
He took it and then walked to the bathroom. ”You want to join me?”
Lena was going to reject him... but her baby had a nightmare probably because she triggered some bad memories for him yesterday and then kick him out of her room too... ”Fine. But nothing more.”
”No promises.”
The ”nothing more” turned into a heated session in the small shower. Lena saw first hand how a morning e*rection was for a man like Kris, even though he had a nightmare! But seeing him cheerful and laughing, it was a good start for their day.
They both dried each other hair when they got out of the shower.
”So what is it?” Kris asked Lena again.
”My parents... they want me home.” Lena turned around as a thought past her mind. ”You don't think they know about us... already, right? My parents spy on me a lot....”
Kris shook his head. As far as he can tell, his mother was the strictest spy a parent can be on their child. Lena's parent would not know unless his mother found out first... and his mother had not called nor texted him about anything at all.
”Let's eat then we can leave.”
”We won't be able to go out for dinner.” Lena reminded.
”It's ok. We'll have lots of dinners together from now on.”
They had their breakfast and then left to go to his car. The yacht parked where Kris had his car so it was a short distance. He kissed Lena goodbye at the underground parking lot so she could drive her own car to her parent's house.
Kris rode the speed elevator up to his penthouse. He wondered if he should connect the elevator to Lena's house too. He will ask her about that another time. He smiled and opened his door. Right when the door opened, a punch immediately landed on Kris' face. Kris looked up to see a smiling man.
”Hugh...”
Ming Zhao shrugged. ”That's one out of five. You know the tradition, or else I would not be here.”
The men have a tradition where you would get to punch by each of them if you got a new girlfriend. Lay had the most but then they stopped after it got useless with him. Collin had his when he dated Stella. And now, Kris will too.
Kris saw a smiling Lay behind Ming and then the rest of the group. ”F*ck!” He did not expect his wondrous morning to be like this.
”Oh wait... it's one out of six... since we invited Gary.”
”Why does that man know your Hugh?”
”Oh... cuz...” Ming went closer to whisper to Kris. ”Cuz he found out I am your ex-wife.”
”F*ck off.”Kris pushed Ming off him. Their fake ID marriage had been a secret among the two men only. Now... four of them know... but Lena does not know who Hugh was.
