172 [Bonus chapter] 172. His Confession


    Samuel entered the penthouse with mixed feelings. He was afraid and anxious to face ra. However, his worries disappeared when he found the woman fast asleep on the couch with the TV still on.


    Samuel smiled when he saw the drama series The Good Doctor that ra was watching. He stroked ra’s forehead gently, brushing away the messy bangs that covered it.


    ra who felt a cold hand on her forehead woke up. “Are you home? Sorry, I fell asleep on the couch,” ra said, opening her eyeszily.


    “Sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you up,” whispered Samuel in a hoarse voice.


    “It’s okay, I shouldn’t sleep before taking a bath first,” ra replied with a weak smile.


    “You have had dinner?” asked Samuel doubtfully.


    “Is there food to eat in the kitchen?” ra asked again, jokingly. “What kind of hospitality is it?”


    They both then burst outughing. Samuel then pointed at the table, where he put the groceries. “I will cook for you. Wait here,” he said.


    However, ra shook her head. “Let me help you with the food. I’ve never been an insolent guest.”


    .....


    The two of them then cooked together, forgetting the exhaustion and bad feelings they had today. It wasn’t the steam of boiling spaghetti that made ra chuckle but Samuel’s embrace startled her from behind, making her feel amused butfortable. It wasn’t the smell of stir-fried ground beef that made Samuel feel calm, but the sincere smile on ra’s face did.


    Soon, simple dishes were served on the table for dinner. The appearance of spaghetti bolognese on the table was not like the appearance of spaghetti bolognese in foodie blogger photos. However, the joy on Samuel’s and ra’s faces was well worth it, making the smudges on the edges of the tes no big deal.


    “Hmm, my stomach is suddenly growling,” ra said, bringing her nose closer to the spaghetti te to inhale its tantalizing aroma.


    “I’ll get a drink ready,” Samuel said, taking a bottle of ginger ale out of the fridge and pouring it into a tulip ss, resembling champagne.


    ra then said, “I don’t drink if you want to find me sober until morning.”


    Samuel stopped pouring the drink and chuckled. “Don’t worry, I remember that you even got drunk with just a sip of wine.”


    ra’s chest warmed. It’s been six years since that incident. However, Samuel still remembered it well.


    “Let’s eat! Don’t let Doctor ra get sick because she forgets to eat,” Samuel said sarcastically. ra’s current appearance had not improved. He’s still skinny. However, that was not a problem for Samuel at all. He wanted ra, the whole of her. He was ready to ept her ws.


    The two of them then enjoyed the food gratefully. For ra, it was the most delicious food she had ever eaten. Not because of the taste, but because she ate it together with Samuel.


    After the meal, ra cleaned the table and took the dishes to the kitchen. However, when she was about to put them into the dishwasher, Samuel hugged her from behind and kissed the nape of her neck gently.


    “Sam….”


    “Thank you,” Samuel whispered in ra’s ear. “Thank you for waiting for me here.”


    ra smiled, feeling at peace. She turned around and faced the man with teary eyes.


    “Why should I run away from you?” said ra with a sincere smile.


    “Stay with me,” Samuel said with a serious look. It couldn’t be called joking.


    “Sam—”


    “I know, it’s too early to say love, but that is how I feel,” said Samuel, in a whisper.


    ra was stunned at his confession. “Sam, I don’t know what to say. I—”


    “How about if you say nothing?” Samuel cut her words, staring at her with an intense look.


    ra’s mouth opened but no words came out. The two of them just stared at each other, and now their lips were touching. Soft and sweet. ra’s eyes slowly closed, following Samuel’s move.


    Both of them immediately left the kitchen and somehow, they both ended up in the bedroom. They were no longer in control. Both of them were swept away in a feeling that cannot be expressed with only words.


    They looked at each other. Merging in a sea of hot breath and sweat. This was a hard and tiring day for ra, but Samuel managed to make her forget about it so that she wanted himpletely.


    He spoiled her erogenous spots with his gentle touch. He made sure once again with his finger, inserting it into her core. Was her condition able to ept his presence perfectly? He didn’t want to hurt her even a little.


    Samuel was nervous because this was the first time he had done this with the woman he loved. It was the first time he had done it with feelings involved.


    “Why do you look scared?” asked Samuel, touching ra’s chest with his palm. He felt that her heart was also beating so fast.


    ra shook her head. “I wish I could be as calm as you are. Ridiculous, isn’t it?”


    Samuel smiled gently and took ra’s palm to her chest, feeling his heartbeat. “Do you think I’m calm now?”


    ra shook her head in amazement. She couldn’t believe that Samuel was also feeling anxious, just like herself. This wasn’t the first time they’ve done it. However, they felt like time-traveling to the past six years, when they spent the night together for the first time.


    “This is the first time I do it to the woman I love,” Samuel said smiling, causing surprise to show concern on ra’s face.


    Samuel’s heart fluttered seeing the blush on ra’s face. The man was not sure that his feelings were not reciprocated. However, he didn’t care about it.


    “Sam, you need to know that—”


    ra didn’t continue what he was saying, because unexpectedly, Samuel acted so quickly by approaching and taking a kiss from her lips. After a few seconds, he broke the kiss and said, “Please forget all of that! Forget your sadness and just look at me!”


    ra smiled and continued their kiss. The two of them drifted back into a sea of passion. They intended to erase all the sadness in their chests, recing it with an intense and intoxicating physical and soul connection.
