Chapter 8 - Something New
Nina Sze
We can't... I promised to meet Shiro down at the beach to swim...
Aubery Kung, my new husband, stood in front of me, kissing my neck while I was wearing my bathing suit.
Aubery Kung
I can't help it. You look so sexy in that, how else was I supposed to react?
I had specifically asked for a white swimsuit so that he wouldn't have that problem but apparently, anything that shows a little bit of my skin can turn him on.
Nina Sze
Shiro's waiting for me... he hates it when I'm late...
Aubery Kung
That brat, always taking you away from me! I can't believe that he is my son, honestly.
I then pushed him away gently by the chest and headed towards my room's door.
Shiro Sze
Well, you took your time! Come on, let's go!
Taking my hand, he pulled me to the door and we started to walk down through the forest until we reached Aubery's private beach. There, Shiro truly became like a little kid.
I laid down on the warm sand, letting the sun kiss my body all over. It had been a while since I had travelled abroad to a resort place like this.
Aubery Kung
What are you sighing about?
I jumped when I saw Aubery, wearing a bathing suit, look over me.
Aubery Kung
You seem surprised. I wouldn't have just left my wife sit in the sand by herself now, would I?
He then whispered into my ear:
Aubery Kung
Who don't we try and see if you remember what to call me or not.
The tip of his tongue touched my ear, making me jump up and squeeze my legs instinctively.
I won't let myself be bullied by him!
Nina Sze
You want to do it in front of our son? Be a patient kitten and wait your turn.
I got up and ran over to Shiro, who was swimming in the water. Seeing me smile and have fun with Shiro, he couldn't help but smile a little also.
Aubery Kung
A family... I have a family.
Behind him, Carson approached tittering.
Mr Carson
Do you approve of the swimsuit I prepared for Miss Sze? She demanded it be white so I picked out the one that was to your taste.
Aubery then put his hand on Carson's shoulder and grinned.
Aubery Kung
I appreciated the underwear but please refrain from picking them personally. Send one if the maids to do it.
Mr Carson
U-Um, yes Mr. Kung.
Aubery Kung
Honey! Let's hunt for crabs together!
Running towards me, he jumped into the water, splashing it all over Shiro and me.
Nina Sze
What did you do all that for? Great, I'm all wet now.
He then grinned, eyeing me from the bottom up.
Shiro then picked up a crab and threw it right at Aubery, making its claws pinch into his skin.
Aubery Kung
Ah! You little brat!
Shiro Sze
I won't let you oogle my mummy again. Not on my watch!
Then, he picked up another two crabs and started to chase Aubery down the beach. Aubery ran, shouting many insults at Shiro.
Aubery Kung
Put the stupid crabs down! Nina, discipline your son!
I then laid back in the water and smirked.
Nina Sze
Actually, this is what I wanted. Some father and son bonding time! Enjoy~!
After that, the day slowly went by. I had finished relaxing in the sun and my skin had soaked up enough sun rays to make it glisten.
Aubery Kung
Your son is a demon. He chased me for the whole length and I only got away when he tripped over a rock.
Nina Sze
I guess that you both have that in common, then. You're both never give up.
Shiro Sze
Waaah! Mummy, the ugly uncle pushed me!
I then got up and ran over towards him. His knee was bleeding. Crying away, I picked him up and comforted him.
Nina Sze
Hey, it's okay! Now, what do I say to it?
Shiro Sze
Pain, pain, fly away. *sniff*
Nina Sze
There. Does that feel better?
He stopped wailing and just sniffled. I then turned towards Aubery and he saw it. A beautiful and gentle smile as I cradled my son. He might be terribly smart but he's a baby when it comes to pain.
By the time I arrived back to the villa, I placed him in his bed and kissed him to sleep. He looked so perfect when sleeping.
Leaving his room quietly, I jumped when I saw Aubery waiting for me outside of his room.
I was expecting him to pounce on me like he usually did but then, he did something unexpected.
He put out his hand and looked to the side, embarrassed.
Aubery Kung
W-Would you... um... care to join me on a walk down the beach?
He looked so cute, just like Shiro when he asked for something.
I guess that it could get me out of sleeping with him.
I then took his hand and at that moment, he blushed terribly.
Aubery Kung
Just so you know, I've never been on a date before so don't make fun of me. I researched it and it seems like walking on the beach in the moonlight has the highest success rate for a first date.
He tried to research it? I then started to chuckle, which made his eyes open even more.
Nina Sze
You researched how to make a successful first date? That is so cute, it's priceless!
Aubery Kung
Come on before I change my mind!
Taking his hand, I followed him to the beach. There, the stats reflected in the water, making it sparkle. My bare feet hit the sand and I immediately closed my eyes, taking in all of the senses.
I remember the days that I used to walk on the beach while pregnant with Shiro. It was my one joy.
Aubery Kung
You seem to be enjoying yourself. Can I deem this date a success?
Nina Sze
You know, I used to walk on the beach while I was pregnant. It helped me connect with the outside world. Here, put your hand into the water!
I then took his hand and put it into the water.
Nina Sze
As you are standing here, you are connected to China, France, England, Italy and Spain. The sea connects everyone together, no matter where you are. The same water travels from place to place, so that's why people say that water has memory.
I closed my eyes and felt the waves crash against my hand. I imagined myself in France, in Italy and in Spain, surrounded by its people and their customs.
Then, a pair of sweet lips pressed against mine. Unlike the other kisses he had given me, this one was sweet and pure. As Aubrey backed away and took a look at me, what he saw was something never seen before.
My eyes sparkled and my lips were frozen in the shape that he had made them be. My fingers touched it, soon realising what he had done!
Nina Sze
W-Why did you do that?
Aubery Kung
Because you look beautiful when you smile...
As he said that, I truly felt in my heart that this was indeed a successful date. Remembering how he treated me before made me snap out of it.
Nina Sze
Let's go back. I'm getting a little cold!
Taking off his blazer, he put it around my shoulders.
Nina Sze
Did your reasearch make you do that too?
Aubery Kung
What? No, you were cold, weren't you?
He's getting better at this. He's learning that in order to show someone your love, you have to think about what's best for them before yourself.
And that is what love is really about... thoughts just like this.
