Chapter 321 - My lovely wife. (1/2)
Kris was caught off guard. He didn't say anything and just looked at Lena... trying to see if she was serious or not.
”I--”
”Let's go to our room.” Lena cut him off and tried to ran toward their room but Kris grabbed her hand.
”Wait, I---”
”Seriously Kris.” Lena cut him off again. She looked him up and down. ”Let's get changed and then we'll talk. I don't think I can take you seriously in that suit.”
”Fine.”
The moment they got to their room. Lena ran to her side of the room and locked herself in the bathroom.
Kris just looked at the silly girl and smiled. Why is she the one so shy... she said it herself. He sighed and hoped to take a shower and get changed.
When he got out, Lena was still in the bathroom. Kris sat silently on the bed, staring at the bathroom door.
After a few minutes, Lena came out with only a towel wrapped around her. She stared at Kris, who stayed motionless on the bed. Lena walked over to the closet, grabbed a change of clothes and went back to the bathroom, closing the door shut.
Kris laughed in his heart and continued to stare at the door.
The door opened again and Lena stood at the door entrance, just staring back at Kris. His hair was dry. He was shirtless with only his pajama pants on.
Lena could clearly see his ab lines as he sat on the bed.
”You can't just say ”Let's get married.” And spend 30 minutes taking a shower and another 10 minutes doing whatever you were doing.” Kris started the conversation.
”I was second-guessing myself.”
”About...” Kris paused. ”Us?” He was caught off guard again. Did he do something wrong? Was there something wrong? He knew that Lena and he had their small fall our when Gary was injured but he thought that they were past that.
”No. About which one I should tell you about first.”
Lena slowly walked over to Kris. She stood in front of him, placing both hands on his shoulder.
She slowly moved her hands to his neck... and up to hold his face so that their eyes were directly looking at each other.
”I...” Lena closed her eyes, took a deep breath, ”have no second guess about you. About us. So f*ck a romantic proposal, prince charming on a white horse and magical carriage... Let's just get married, Kris.”
Kris put his hand on her small waist and pulled her closer to him.
”No one-knee on the floor? No rings and flowers? No fireworks and kiss at the top of the Ferris-wheel?” Kris asked.
”No.” Lena sternly replied. ”No....”
She bent down low and kiss him. Kris tightened his grip on her waist and kissed her back. He could feel her wet hair touching his bare skin. She smelled so fresh... and ripe.
”I am scared....” Lena touched his face. ”After all that we've been through. After.... after that dream, Gary's injury, bombs, guns.... we solve one thing but another one will be thrown at us.”
”Your a high profiled man. And I am a trouble maker...” Lena let out a soft chuckle. ”If we keep waiting for a good time, we won't get married until your 50. And by then... I want to have a long life with you. Give you lots and lots of kids and travel the world with you. Slay scary dragons and kill annoying pests. So yeah... I dreamed of a handsome man going down on one knee, pulling out a ring, flowers, and fireworks out of thin air.... but you're not a dream, Kris... you're real. And I--” Lena paused.
”I want to be your wife, your only Mrs. Li.” Lena softly spoke. ”I want to be in your lawfully wedded wife with legal rights. If something bad happens, I want to be able to be with you. I want to be your emergency contact, be in your will, be... just be yours. Entirely yours.”
”If...” Lena paused as her eyes got teary.
”Why are you crying... Shh...” Kris carefully pulled her to sit on his lap and wiped her tear.
”If... something bad happens to you or me... I...” Lena stopped again as she got more emotional.
”Nothing bad is going to happen.” Kris hugged her.
”Stop it. Let me finish.” Lena sniffed and wiped her own tears. ”If... If something bad happens to you or me, I would regret that I made you waited. I would regret that I.. didn't get to marry you.”
