The Young master's fake bride and her lucky system-Chapter 114: Neck kisses and first kisses.
Caishen pushed his random thoughts and questions which often caused him dread at times and he returned to the moment at hand.
She was holding one of the strawberries with both hands. It was not with her barehand but a wooden toothpick.
He opened his mouth and she fed him with a shy smile on her face.
As he savored the mixed strawberry and chocolate taste, the smile on his own face was lost. He wondered how many times he had smiled since she returned home in the afternoon. If he kept smiling, his mouth would have a permanent smile shaped curve.
She got another strawberry and he took it from her.
"Watch the movie." he told her.
She leaned back in the chair and made herself comfortable with a large bucket of caramel popcorn.
Of course he was not surprised when she snuggled as close to him as she could. He had been waiting and anticipating it.
Just like that, for a while, they both watched the movie. It was in English, with subtitles which didn't bother him. But somehow as the time passed, he lost focus on the movie as Alix started mouthing the characters, word for word.
He stopped watching the movie and instead started watching her caught up in a dream like state of fascination.
"Yippee -Ki-yay, mother.....!" she said and she giggled.
"Woah, woah, woah," he said and he lifted her head up to look at her face much more closely.
He may not know all the words to the movie line for line but he knew some of it's most famous catchphrases. He could not believe that she had almost said it.
"Mmm," she responded so innocently.
"Nothing." he said.
She put her head back on his chest and looked at the screen.
"How many times have you watched this movie?" he asked her.
"Hmm, this is the thirty first." she answered.
She did not even have to think about it before she answered.
He was surprised___, a lot. Why would anyone watch this movie more than once or twice? She was thirty one years old and she had watched it thirty one times. Did she watch it once every year since her birth?
"Jeez!! that's one time too many. What do you like so much so much about it?"
"It was my mother's favorite movie according to nanny Luo. She told me that every year on her birthday, my mother would buy her favorite cake, play for herself a song on the piano and watch this movie."
She looked at him with a far look in her eyes.
"I don't think my father remembered her birthday often. If he did, he probably didn't celebrate it with her. Her parents were also gone, I was the only true family she had left. So now, once a year on her birthday I watch the movie to keep a piece of her alive somehow. Today is not her birthday, it's an exception I am making because I am happy."
She looked at the screen again after sharing this very personal thing with her. He could not imagine the pain she suffered when the one parent that loved her truly passed. When his father passed he had his mother, siblings and grandparents. She on the other hand had been truly alone.
He touched her right side shoulder and squeezed it.
"It's an awesome movie. And your mother must have been an awesome woman." he said.
"She was." Alix smiled.
"She had to have been to give birth to a little superwoman like you. I bet you were a handful when you were young." he added.
"I was a good baby." she answered.
"Hmmmm...." he groaned playfully.
She turned her head up as little broken peals of laugher escaped her throat.
"I really was, I was the most peaceful baby in the world. Just ask my nanny."
"Your nanny loves you like a grandmother. I don't trust her opinion. But I will still ask her."
"Tch!" she pursed her lips and faced the screen again.
When she turned to the screen, the movie was about to end. She did not want to miss the happy ending, it was the best part.
Suddenly, she felt a breeze of warm wind on the back of her neck. When she tried to move her head, Caishen stopped her.
"Watch the movie." he whispered in her ear.
But how could she watch the movie and ignore his breath on the back of her neck. It evoked a ticklish feeling that caused her body to shiver a bit.
Caishen slowly grazed his lips across her nape, so slight and soft.
She raised her shoulders and giggled. It was one of the most sensitive parts of her body. It was both a ticklish and erotic spot for her.
"What are you doing?" she asked him.
"Just watch the movie." he whispered again.
Immediately after whispering, he went back to the task of placing light kisses on her nape and behind her ear.
He switched from light kisses to little nips. After each nip, he licked the area and kissed it.
She chuckled, and folded her hands. Whatever he was doing, it felt good___, good enough to make her close her eyes and turn her breathing shallow.
"Does this count as making out like teenagers?" he murmured against her neck.
She shook her head and laughed. "No."
He pushed her head off his chest and turned her around so that she could face him properly.
In that semi dark room, where only the warm glow of the candles and the screen provided light, it was a bit hard to make out each other's faces.
Perhaps it was what added sensuality to an already romantic atmosphere.
"Do I have to kiss you to make it count?" he asked.
Alix moistened her lips with her tongue and brought her face close to his. Both of her hands went around his neck. All the times she had hinted, maybe her message had finally got across.
"You tell me." she said.
"I think I have to do it, no, I must do it." He said with a finality to his voice.
He covered the last remaining space between them, and brought his lips to hers.
"Finally," was her last thought before she closed her eyes and opened her mouth to him.
