It'll Come Naturally

Leena had been at home for many days. She had not gone outside her house at all and was absorbed in her creation, with no interruptions from the outside world.

now.

She stretched her taut body. Looking at the sketch on the desk, she put down the brush in her hand and smiled in relief. After several days of hard work, she had finally finished the sample she had failed to complete before. There wasn't much left and she was winding up Leena pushed open the door of the workroom and rubbed her sore eyes. The air emanated a faint fragrance of flowers and food. It dispelled her weariness, making her feel refreshed. She trotted downstairs.

A bunch of purple tulips greeted her as she got to the living room. So that was where the fragrance was coming from! Who were those flowers for? Who would receive them exactly? Leena didn't like tulips very much, but she did know that purple tulips stood for endless love. She couldn't help but pick the bouquet up and smell it. She put it down gently. She didn't even think that it was a gift from Kevin, assuming that a man like him would never be so romantic.

It was said that men who worked hard were the most charming, but in Leena's eyes, the man who could cook was more attractive. Leena felt it was very affectionate of Kevin to cook for her.

She wrapped her arms around Kevin's waist from behind and rested her cheek on his back. She felt him pause for a moment at her sudden move.

"Are you finished with work?" Kevin asked in a soft voice as he washed the vegetables. He was much more careful than before, for he feared that the cold water would splatter on Leena's hands. "Yeah. It's almost done. Why are you cooking? Where is the housekeeper?" Leena loved snuggling to her husband like this and feeling his warmth.

"I got off work early today, so I asked her to go home. Get dressed. The dinner will be ready soon." Kevin put the washed vegetables aside. When he came home, he saw the housekeeper Leena had hired about to cook. He volunteered instead. It was a rare opportunity to show off his cooking skills to Leena.

"No, I like hugging you like this. It makes me feel warm." Leena seldom flirted in front of Kevin, but today she behaved like a spoiled child. She tightened her hold around Kevin's muscular waist, unwilling to let go of her hands.

"Behave. The oil will splash on your hands when I cook. You may get burnt easily." Kevin had a turner in his hand. His hands were wet, so he didn't push Leena away. Although he felt helpless, he kept smiling and looking back at Leena tenderly. It was the first time he had felt Leena was being her real self - willful and adorable. Before, he could only imagine her behaving in such a way when she was around her brothers.

"How about this? Would the oil splash on my hands now?" Leena withdrew her hands from around him and put them through his apron. She was unwilling to let go whichever way.

"Haha. You get sweeter and sweeter every day." Seeing this, Kevin didn't insist on her leaving anymore. Leena could do what she wanted, and he wouldn't mind.

"Kevin, have I ever told you that it is great to marry you?" Leena's tone was emotional. She didn't want a magnificent declaration of love. Simple, domestic bliss such as this would satisfy her. It was enough to lean gently on him whenever she felt tired.

Kevin stiffened at her sentimental confession. He always felt that this girl had regretted marrying him. Now, her words touched him immensely. He cherished her trust and adoration.

"Thank you, Nana. You know, it's wonderful to have you as my wife too." The shock in Kevin's eyes disappeared quickly. He looked calm, but a myriad of thoughts invaded his mind. Leena felt his heartbeat accelerate and was secretly delighted that it was because of her. "Really? So you finally realize that I'm a good wife?" Leena finally pulled back and looked at his handsome profile. Her eyes were full of fascination for him.

"It's obvious to everyone that you're a good wife. I have long realized it." Kevin glanced at Leena. He frowned when he saw the bags under her eyes and worried that she was overexerting herself.

"How sweet. I like hearing that. I know you're flattering me, but I don't mind you praising me once every day." A wide grin appeared on Leena's face as she gazed at Kevin. Intense emotion flashed through her eyes. She thought it was cute how Kevin's face flushed in embarrassment.

"Did you see the bouquet? It's for you," Kevin said, not daring to look at Leena in fear that she would make fun of him. This was the first time he had given her a gift. It was only a bunch of flowers, so he was afraid that she wouldn't like it.

"What? The flowers are for me? I assumed some beautiful lady gave them to you. I'll arrange them in a vase." Leena jumped and left the kitchen, wanting to smell the flowers again. She had been indifferent when she didn't know who those flowers were for, but was ecstatic upon learning that Kevin had bought them for her. She walked back to Kevin after a few minutes. Kevin stared at her, wondering why she returned. She stood up on her tiptoes and planted a light kiss on his lips before running out with a giggle. Kevin licked his lips instinctively. 'Such a sweet kiss,' he thought. A small smile hung on his lips as he looked at her receding back with affection. He only came back to his senses when he heard the food sizzle in the pan, suddenly realizing that he had been cooking. The night fell. Leena had been staring at the tulips she put in the vase for several hours and was still reluctant to look away. It was the first gift Kevin had given her so she cherished it very much.

Kevin was busy typing away on his keyboard. He looked up occasionally at the girl who was lying on the couch and staring at the flowers. He didn't know whether it was her favorite flower or not, but he felt satisfied to see that she couldn't move her eyes away from them. "It seems you like the tulips very much. You have been staring at them the entire night," Kevin teased his wife. She usually went back to her workroom right after dinner, but she didn't tonight. Kevin still had some work left to do so he couldn't give her all his attention. "I like whatever you give me." Leena lay on her side and looked at him with her fingers intertwined under her chin. There was a fondness that lingered in the air.

"You're so easy to satisfy. Such a good wife you are, honey." Kevin stopped working and smiled brightly. He felt relaxed in this quiet atmosphere amidst his busy and tense work.

"Come on, focus on your work. Don't get disturbed by me." Leena stood up. She thought it would be better to leave; otherwise she would interfere with his work.

"It's all right. I'll finish the work soon. Why don't you take a bath first?" Kevin continued to type. Something big was scheduled in the city for tomorrow. The soldiers in his army base would be transferred to maintain order and security, so he had to work out a plan in advance.

"Okay. Meanwhile, I'll answer my mails." Leena winked at Kevin and went out, still smiling.00000000000
