It'll Come Naturally

He really wanted to know what was hurting his precious girl. He wanted to make Leena happy again. He just couldn't think of anything that could make Leena cry in the bathroom alone. His heart ached when he thought of Leena's swollen red eyes. He wanted her to forget

about the thing that pained her, so he kissed Leena to take her mind off it. And now, he was the one left alone while smoking in the cold night air.

He put out the cigarette between his fingers. He was suddenly no longer in the mood for smoking anymore. He turned around and walked back into the room. Standing beside their bed, he stared at Leena's sleeping face. She was as peaceful as an angel. Then he bent down and gently kissed her cheek. She was so beautiful. He got inside the bed and pulled Leena in his arms. Leena struggled a bit in her sleep but she settled down soon upon finding a comfortable place in his arms. She then continued her sleep.

A tender smile cracked Kevin's lips upon seeing Leena's peaceful face. She was as cute as a small kitten and it melted his heart. He adoringly kissed her forehead and tightened his arms around her. It was time for sleep. Regardless of what was bothering her and how serious it was, he was going to face it with her. He would never leave Leena no matter what.

The next morning, as usual, Kevin was not in the bed anymore when Leena woke up. Though she told herself that she was used to it now, she still couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed. She slowly got up. Her body was sour everywhere and the slight tingles on her skin made her think of how she and Kevin passionately made out last night. A blush crept up her face as she felt shy though nobody was around.

She didn't know if it was because both of them were anxious last night, thus, their lovemaking was more passionate than usual. Maybe they just wanted to make sure the other was indeed here and that they were not going to be apart.

She got out of the bed and nearly fell on the floor because her legs were so sore. She stumbled into the bathroom and looked at her flushed face in the mirror. She couldn't help but feel more embarrassed at herself. She and Kevin had been married for so long but she was still shy like a small girl whenever they were intimate with each other.

It was then that her phone suddenly rang and pulled her out of her trance. She was startled and walked out of the bathroom to look for her phone. She found it on the counter and picked it up. One look at the screen told her that it was Kevin who was calling. She was surprised. Kevin never called her at this time of the day due to his work.

"Hello, Kevin," Leena greeted him in a light tone as if nothing had happened last night. She had a beautiful smile on her face whenever Kevin called.

"Hello. Are you up?" Kevin felt that he was gradually influenced by Leena. He even called her when he should be watching his soldiers train on the field. He would never do this kind of thing before.

"Yeah. I just got up. What's the matter?" Leena walked to stand in front of the mirror. She slightly furrowed her eyebrows when she saw the hickeys on her neck. They were so evident. It was lucky that it wasn't summer yet, or else, she would never be able to walk out without everyone else seeing her neck.

"Well, the wives of the soldiers keep asking me when you will be here at the army base. They all want to ask you something about fashion." In fact, Kevin just used this as an excuse to call her and see if she was at home or not. He didn't know why but he felt anxious and restless this morning. That was why he chose to put down his work and call her first.

"I am sorry. I will be busy for the next few days. Please tell them that I will be there as soon as I am not that busy. I will definitely come." Leena patted her forehead in annoyance. How could she forget about this? However, she really was busy recently. Thus, she didn't have time to go to the army base and meet them.

"I already told them that, so don't worry about it. Have you eaten?" Kevin's tone was gentler than ever. Leena felt kind of strange that Kevin was talking to her in such voice. It was not like him at all.

"Um. Not yet." Leena was a bit confused. He called her just to ask if she had eaten or not? That was really strange. Besides, shouldn't he be working at this time of the day?

"What are you doing later? Are you staying at home or going to the hospital to see Patricia?" The Kevin before would never ask questions like these. Since when was he curious about Leena's daily life? Leena couldn't understand why he was asking these normal but also weird questions.

"I am not sure yet. But aren't you busy right now?" Leena asked in a curious tone. He was acting really strange today. Thus, she just couldn't help but wonder if something had happened.

"Yeah. I am in the training field right now. All right, go and have some food! I am going back to work as well." As soon as he saw a commissar walking towards him, Kevin quickly said goodbye to Leena and hung the phone up. He didn't want the official to see him calling his wife when he should be watching over the soldiers on the training field.

Leena pursed her lips, tilted her head, and thought for a moment. However, she quickly shrugged, threw her phone on the bed, and put it behind her. It seemed that Major General Gu could also be weird sometimes, just like her brother Edward. They were indeed very alike in some ways.0000000000000000
