A month passed, after Gerald and Cathleen apologized for their mistakes, now the couple who had been married half a year began to show good progress. Both look quite friendly even though they have not been done openly in public. But still it's good even if they don't express love.
Outside it was still snowing, making the air cold, and of course Gerald was lazy to get out if the streets started to be filled with a pile of white circles with temperatures exceeding the freezer. It is better to turn on the firebox, position the sofa to face the fireplace, and lay down the body there. Do not forget the mobile phone that always accompanies to play online games.
Gerald's eyes were focused on a six-point, seven-inch screen, but his ears could hear that someone had just walked into his apartment. “Tumben you came home early?” He asked but did not look at the person he was talking to.
“Yes, I was scared too late and missed the train,” Cathleen replied. During the winter, he was not picked up by Gerald, but by public transport.
The streets were slippery and often covered with snow, Cathleen knew that her husband was lazy to bother, so she took the initiative to refuse when Gerald offered to accompany her to leave and return to work using public transportation.
“How on the road? Everything okay?” Gerald is still focusing on pressing the phone screen. But he could tell that Cathleen's clothes were a lot of snow, his eyes looking from the reflection of the wife who was on the small screen that he deliberately directed to Cathleen, so that he could play games while looking at the woman.
“Everything is good, no one scolds me or harasses me while on the train.” Cathleen replied while removing the thick jacket and putting it onto the stand hanger. “But traffic is very quiet, the streets are covered with snow and have not been cleared by officers,” he added.
“Oh, it means there is a point we do not need to travel, if necessary start tomorrow you work from home just so as not to get cold when leaving and coming home from work.” Gerald gave sure advice according to his habits. Choose to stay in the residence rather than freeze outside.
“Winter with snow that falls every day, does not make my spirit to work become faded. But, thank you for your suggestion.” Cathleen appreciates her husband's opinion, though she cannot follow Gerald's advice. “I want to soak in warm water first,” pamitnya while walking to the room.
“Hm, if you want to find another warmth, you can come here, maybe my embrace is much warmer than the embers,” said Gerald. He took the time to look at Cathleen who was looking at him until the two of them looked at each other.
Cathleen commented with a smile accompanied by a nodding head. He remembered the night of the blizzard that made him shiver. Gerald hugged himself very tightly, dispelling all the minus temperature that was about to touch his skin, until there was only a warm feeling channeled from the body temperature of the husband.
Cathleen's cheeks so blushed when remembering that, because since the incident, now her household life became normal. Gerald and Cathleen often chat, ask questions, there is no cold side to the man who is addicted to online games. But indeed the habit of Gerald in front of a computer or mobile phone can not be eliminated. Despite that, Gerald knows how to divide his time for his world and his partner.
Cathleen disappears from Gerald's sight after the door closes. The man continued to squeeze the screen six point seven inch. While the woman cleanses the body in a puddle of water that gives off a little smoke, indicating that it is hot.
For thirty minutes Cathleen took a bath, she came out in pajamas that were not too long, only limited to the thighs and arms. Gerald has replaced the heating with a new one, so that the cold outside will not puncture the skin.
Cathleen was sitting on the sofa near where Gerald was laying down. She saw her husband playing a game.
“Ke come, this sofa is still fit to sleep two people,” said Gerald while shifting the body to the edge and provide a place so that Cathleen can join to relax the body next to him.
Cathleen shook her head in rejection. “No, I don't want to disturb your pleasure.” It was quite happy when Gerald showed a side of mindfulness and gentleness.
Getting rejected, Gerald let his game pause for a moment. He put the phone on the carpet, changed the position to stand, and approached the wife.
Gerald's hand suddenly pulled Cathleen. “ Won't interfere, I just play ordinary games,” he explained while inviting the wife to warm up together in front of the firebox.
Gerald pushed slowly on Cathleen until she sat on the sofa, and she laid down on the edge, pulling the wife to sleep with him. “Warmer like this than sitting alone.”
Gerald positioned them to be relaxed and comfortable. He raised his head more with a pillow, while Cathleen was left to cushion the chest of her field.
“You're comfortable like this?” gerald asked, wrapping his right hand around Cathleen's back to her arm.
Cathleen's head nodded in response yes. “Maybe it will be more comfortable if I hold you,” chirps as if asking for permission. The nature of Gerald in the past who was not happy when he touched without permission, makes him still often afraid if suddenly touched the husband.
“Do if you want.” Gerald's left hand rested Cathleen's hand until it coiled around her stomach.
Cathleen's lips automatically reviewed a relieved smile. Gerald picked up his phone again, which was hidden below.
“Sleep, I'll wake up at dinner, you must be so tired after a long day of work.” Gerald's right hand patted Cathleen's arm as if she was lashing the woman, while the left one was used to open the online gaming app again.
“I'm not sleepy,” reject Cathleen. He enjoys the warmth of a position that is not far away.
“Alright, do you want to see me play the game?” Gerald did not insist that Cathleen did not want to, he tried to offer other activities so that the wife did not get bored.
“Bby.”
Gerald also slightly lowered his hand so that the phone screen could be seen by Cathleen. It plays a very popular game and for the past year has been at the top of most downloads, as well as having a high rating.
“Why? Do you want to pee?” ask Gerald. He is indeed a person who is sensitive by the movements of someone, what is the position of Cathleen who sticks with him.
“Yes, can I parse your embrace for a moment?” cathleen Permission.
Makes Gerald ruffle his wife's hair out of anxiety. “You can let go of my embrace when urgent. Why wait for permission? Later you can wet the bed here if you hold the pee,” his joke while keeping away the right hand that hugged Cathleen from the beginning.
Cathleen showed a barrage of teeth and smiled awkwardly. “I'm afraid you're angry.”
Gerald understood why Cathleen always felt free to express herself. All because of his past. “It used to be my ban because I didn't like being approached by women, but now the conditions are different. You are my wife, and can touch me anytime.”
Cathleen nodded with a face that showed happiness. “I go to the toilet for a while, after that come back again here.”
“Hm ... do I need to accompany?” bargain Gerald.
“No.” Cathleen moved her hand as a gesture. “I can do it myself.” He came down by the way past Gerald's feet because the man was filling the edge of the sofa.
Cathleen wasn't lying when she wanted to go to the toilet. That woman was throwing urine. But also at the same time neutralize the adrenaline of the chest that beats uncomfortably.
Cathleen washed her face so that she would not be washed away by the sweet words of her husband. After making up, Gerald did talk more romantically than usual.
“Does my face look flushed?” murmured Cathleen while staring at her reflection in the mirror.
“Thank you no, can be ashamed of me if caught blushing by the sweet treatment.” Cathleen immediately washed her hands after holding the toilet.
Cathleen takes her phone so she can divert her mind to reduce the heartbeat that always manages to kick when adjacent to the Gerald. She returned to the sofa and was pulled by her husband to lie down next to him.
Gerald didn't say anything. He just hugged Cathleen again with his next hand who was still playing online games.
“You took a mobile phone?” gerald asked as he saw his wife's hand clutching something.
“Iya.” Cathleen raises the hand holding the phone up to Gerald's chest.
“You want to play a game with me? I'll teach you,” bargain Gerald.
But answered the head. “Maybe next time, I want to surf the internet only.”
All right, as always, Gerald won't push. Both are busy with their own business. But, occasionally Gerald's eyes glanced at Cathleen's phone screen to see what the woman was doing.
“Cantics.” Suddenly Gerald praised when he saw a picture that was being viewed also by his wife.
“Thank you,” says Cathleen. He thinks Gerald is praising him.
“Not you, but that sight,” was clear Gerald while pointing at the aurora with a very beautiful color.
Overconfidence puts Cathleen to shame. He's hiding his head in Gerald's armpit.
Gerald immediately put the phone on the carpet, the battery power was exhausted so he stopped playing games. “You are also beautiful, dear, no need to be ashamed of your response earlier.” The left hand is used to wipe the top of the wife's head while the right stroke Cathleen's arm.
“I'm sure that my cheeks are red at the moment,” Cathleen said. He wouldn't show Gerald a face like this.
“It’s okay, you remain beautiful even though you are blushing.” Gerald increasingly praised, making himself able to feel the heartbeat of Cathleen who was beating very fast.
“Do you want to see aurora?” ask Gerald. The way he spoke was not as usual, not about intonation, but the hand while making a circle on Cathleen's arm with a very soft touch.
