It'll Come Naturally

"Wait! How can I find you again?" shouted Michelle at the disappearing figure of Patricia. She really wanted to follow Patricia inside, and ask her for the phone number. However, she was in a hurry now, and had to leave immediately. Besides, she really disliked the noise at the video center.

Patricia didn't even turn around. She shouted out her phone number honestly, without the slightest caution to this weird girl she had met just a few moments ago.

Destiny tied them together. This was the start of their close and lasting friendship. They met because of a misunderstanding, but made friends in an unexpected way. This sort of friendship only belonged to people with some real personality.

Kevin had a good long sleep, and didn't wake up until the dinner was ready. He opened his eyes and felt the darkness surrounding and engulfing him, which made him panic unconsciously. He got paranoid due to the nervous tension in the last two days. The boy stood up, completely losing sight of time and place.

Suddenly, the bedroom door opened, and a figure came inside, turning the light on. The bright glow of the light-bulb made Kevin feel dizzy for a brief moment. When the dizziness passed, he saw Leena stand beside the bed and stare at him. He immediately felt relieved. A big smile cracked on his face.

"You're already awake! I intended to wake you up if you were still sleeping," said Leena, surprised. She had a long white dress on. It was warm inside the room, so Leena didn't feel cold. Seeing Kevin was awake already, sitting on his bed, she was really awkward. She didn't bear to disturb his sleep. But the dinner was ready and her tired husband needed some real food as well as a good rest to get invigorated.

"Yeah! What time is it? How long have I been sleeping?" Kevin massaged his temples softly and rhythmically. He couldn't remember the last time he slept this soundly and deeply.

"Not too long. About five hours. How is your headache? Better?" Leena knelt down on the bed, removed his hands and started to massage his temples.

"Better. Dizzy but nothing serious. I have slept much longer than I expected." Then, he took her soft hand, and held her in his arms. He hadn't shaved for several days, and his stubble rubbed against Leena's smooth skin, which made her feel a sudden feeling of excitement.

"Stop! It tickles." This was the happiness that Leena wanted. It would be an extravagant and maybe improper wish to ask Kevin to spend more time with her. Most times a passionate hug was enough to soothe her worried mind and to make her a satisfied wife.

"Leena, do you have any idea of how important you are to me?" asked Kevin sincerely, looking her in her big lovely eyes. Kevin held her shoulders with both arms, and stared at her eyes, waiting for an answer. "Yes! We're both THE most important people to each other. Kevin, thank you for loving me and overcoming all those difficulties." She tilted her chin and raised her fragile hand, fondling his handsome face gently.

"I really appreciate that you waited for me for such a long time. You don't need to experience any more heartache to love me. Just stand there, and I'll come to you, and love you with all my heart. I promise," said Kevin responsibly and lovingly. He was in no mood to make up some love words. He was being vulnerable, trying to prove his love to Leena.

"Really? Will you take the lead and love me?" asked Leena excitedly. Her eyes were full of tears. She looked at her husband expectantly and never thought this day would come. And even so soon.

"Although you don't want to hear any apology from me any longer, I should apologize to you for the last time. Sorry for what you have been through. I'll make it up to you, I promise, I give you my word!" said Kevin emotionally. He kissed her eyelids gently, wiping off her tears gently. Such an emotional and sentimental girl. She had such a soft heart and could be moved so easily.

Leena's body suddenly felt paralyzed when Kevin leaned forward and kissed her slowly. Her eyes were wide open, staring at the man in front of her. She tried to remember each and every sweet moment they had together. This very moment was so unique!

The dinner was ready when they came downstairs and walked into the dinning room. Leena was just discharged from the hospital and Shannon was worried about her health. She wouldn't allow her to help in the kitchen. Their mother had prepared delicious dishes and set the table, as a celebration for Leena's homecoming.

"Come and take a seat. I'm waiting for you," said Shannon when she saw her son and his wife. Shannon untied her apron, delighted to see Leena recover so quickly, with a happy smile on her face.

"Wow! Such a big meal. Thank you, Mother!" Leena licked her lips. She was starving!

"Just some home cooking. Don't flatter me. By the way, where's Claire? Why hasn't she come back home already? It's getting late." Shannon looked at her watch anxiously. In the morning, Claire told her mother she was going out, but didn't bother to explain anything else. She should have come back and joined them for dinner.

"She isn't home? I better call her and find out what's going on," said Kevin, displeased. He frowned and picked up his mobile phone.

"Call her and ask her to come home as soon as possible. She has no sense of time," said Shannon, trying to control her anger. Shannon was also getting angry. Troubles were following Claire all the time. So no wonder everyone was worried.

Kevin called his sister several times and she didn't answer. He frowned, also worried.

"What's wrong? Didn't she answer her phone?" Leena asked looking at Kevin with worry. She knew Claire was a good girl and wouldn't stir up troubles without provocation.

"Yeah... I don't think she heard her phone ring. We shouldn't be waiting for her. Let's eat," said Kevin, obviously displeased and disappointed. Kevin left his phone at the table and was about to pick up chopsticks when the door opened and Claire came inside. All eyes were on her and she felt embarrassed.

"What are you doing, staring at me in such a weird way?" asked Claire. She looked herself, examining her clothes, but didn't find anything wrong about her outfit.

"Where have you been? We've been waiting for you to join us for dinner. Don't you know that somebody back home might get worried about you when you don't answer your phone? Leena just got discharged from the hospital. Don't you think you should come home earlier and try to take care of her?" Shannon almost shouted at Claire. Extremely disappointed, she thought her daughter had changed, but actually she remained the same. She was still the spoiled child, self-willed, selfish and naive.000000
