1134 Words
Firefly River
"Oh, ~~" Lin happily played on the water as they travel on the river via boat.
"Don't lean too much on the water or else, the weed monsters will drag you there." Rein said as he paddle slowly
"Does it exist?!" He exclaimed in anticipation but Rein just laughed.
"You want to see some?" Rein took his curiosity
Lin gulped, "Then it is real?"
Rein smiled, "Look there. The weeds trying to invade the land." he pointed at the wall side they were passing by.
Lin abruptly turned but was disappointed "Funny."
Rein laughed loudly.
The wall was only filled up by normal long weeds coming from the bottom of the river, almost reaching the grassland above.
They stayed and had fun on the boat until the sunset, the orange skies, and their touch on the clouds made a beautiful sky, making a good palette of colors in a painting.
"This is quite wonderful." Lin raised his head to see Rein who settled beside him, wrapping his arms around his waist. The river was tranquil and the boat just freely floated as it witness the sunset on the west.
"It is." Rein kissed his forehead again, it became his hobby ever since.
"How was the day?" He asked him
"I... I never had so much fun like this outdoor, thank you." Lin softly said
Rein smiled and brushed Lin's hair to the side "So it's true that you're introverted?"
His fans already speculated that this artist was more like an inner person, he was conserved and peaceful.
"A bit maybe?" Lin turned his face to him again "Am I... am I awkward and lame?" Lin uttered.
"I know, my actions and confession were a bit sudden and I don't know what you think about me but I do, truly want to be with you for the rest of my life." Lin played the buttons on Rein's shirt as he lowly uttered these words.
But Rein reached for his chin.
"I know our meeting was short but, my heart is already contented with you. You know that feeling, something like... it only waited for you." Rein honestly stated
Lin did expect something from him but he was still surprised to hear those words from Rein, he blushed and hid his face on his lover's neck.
"You had so many feelings on things." he joked
"That's what makes the world colorful and lively. Feelings and emotions you know." Rein replied
"I love you, Lin." Rein whispered
Lin blushed more and snuggled deeper in his neck.
"I love you for eternity." it was a mumble and Rein didn't hear it clearly but he understood when he heard the love part.
......
Weeks passed, everything may seem normal but Rein was busting with energy every day at work. Like a happily married person well, he was but it is surely not for that mere reason.
They met a lot on weekdays but to avoid suspicion, he had skipped on the night he spends on Lin. Sometimes they met at his condo, at his own house. They can't last a day without seeing each other.
But he was careful on their actions, the fact that he cared for the scandal that would anger Jeremy he desired to protect his Lin Ri on some gossips and accusations, Jeremy's side was not gentle at anything that would damage their reputation.
"Hey~" Mierin called.
"Yo." He said as he managed the documents he left.
He was the Director of Valdir Corp. and Mierin was his secretary.
"You seem happier and 'busier' than ever before my friend." Mierin teased and eyed him curiously
This friend of hers was a bit mysterious this past few weeks but he didn't make it obvious to people.
Mierin maybe, was just only his secretary but she was his closest friend, she can sense something was off if it is off.
"Where did you and that beautiful Lin go that night during and after the Art Party?" she eyed him
But Rein didn't reply.
"Hey, Rein!"
Reinn fixed his eyeglasses which he occasionally wears and stared back at the lady.
"What?"
"What happened that night?? You didn't answer any of my calls and Xian can't reach his cousin, then after that... you became secretive and goes out every day that even I, Mierin! didn't know! You, you, Answer me!"
"Lower your voice down you--loud woman!"
Mierin raised a brow "So something happened huh?" she crossed her arms.
"Not just a fan and artist meeting ey?"
"Come, come tell this old woman."
But Rein was a bit hesitant because this woman had a loudmouth. She says she'll never tell anyone but it will just slip freely from her tongue without her knowing.
"Hey! Are we not BFFs since kindergarten? Tell me everything ah."
Reinn sighed "You will not tell anyone about this. Understand?"
He still trusted this friend of his after all.
And he already told Lin that he will be introducing her to him sometime, her Valdirng the only person who'll know about their relationship, for now.
Mierin nodded vigorously.
So Rein honestly narrated everything about what happened from beginning to end.
"Oh, my boy. You finally did it." Mierin was completely shocked to the core.
"You marked him. You made a bond even though you're married. Dear, a first in history!" she exclaimed in disbelief
Rein shushed her.
Meirin immediately cower and spoke in a low voice, " But well, Jeremy was at big fault here, he's a scum you say but is it really real? You two? Officially a couple??" Mierin asked the same thought over and over.
"Yes we are." he simply answered
Mierin whistled "How about that? The kind and decent, and loyal, and filial Valdir Mierin was actually having an affair behind the great Houston Jeremy." she whistled again as she expresses her amazement at the twist.
"It was not just a normal affair. We are fated." Rein stated
Mierin whistled more loudly upon hearing it "Such words by my dear friend."
"Let me meet him some time ah," Mierin said
"Yes, you will."
......
"I'm here," Rein called and headed straight to the kitchen.
They were staying now in his house.
"Hi~~" Rein wrapped his hands around Lin's waist and hugged him from behind.
"I'm still cooking Rein."
Rein kissed his ears until he ended up biting them.
Lin moved his head from the pleasure "Rein..." he lowly uttered, "I'm still...ah!"
Rein dragged and carried him to sit at the kitchen table with the raw ingredients falling.
Rein kissed him until Lin moaned soundly.
"Rein, mm...! not... not here... again" He managed to say as Rein started licking his n*****s right after he unbuttoned his shirt.
"Sorry Lin," he apologized under his breath "...but you look sexier more than ever."
