CAELUM

CHAPTER 22

YIXING'S POV:

I sit on the couch and skim through some office-related documents. While skimming through them, my mind questions where Siofra is. It's been weeks since I spent quality time with her. I hear a click of the door and see Siofra coming in. She sits on the couch beside me. "Work again?". "Yeah".  She keeps her hand on mine and I look at her. "Want something to drink". "Umm, maybe green tea would be great". A smile spreads on her face and she gets up from the couch. I keep concentrating on the documents cuz the sooner they are done, the more quality time I get with Siofra. The best part of her is she understands that my work is important so she doesn't cling or throw a fit whenever I don't spend much time with her. She comes back with two cups of green tea. "Here you go".

I smile and take the cup from her hand. Placing it on the table, keeping the documents aside, I pull her and make her sit beside me. I intertwine our fingers. "Isn't your work important?". Keeping her close I answer. "It is but spending time with you is more important as it can wait". She looks at me and asks "Sure?". I kiss her forehead gently and nod a yes. "Yep sure". She smiles. Getting up from the sofa and gently pulling her with me, I make her sit on the bed. She looks at me confusion visible on her face. "I'll be right back, sit in the middle of the bed". Her questioning look doesn't go unnoticed but she still listens to me. I smile and bring my guitar. "Guitar?".

I give her the guitar and climb the bed. She holds it. Sitting behind her, I hold the guitar so that I can teach her how to play the guitar. "Hmm, yeah Guitar. You wanted to learn how to play it right". "Yeah". Sensing the happiness in her tone, a smile appears on my face. I swipe her hair to the right and place my head right next to her. "Ready for the introduction?". She smiles "Yeah, I am". Adjusting the guitar properly so that we both can hold it, I teach her a few important theories regarding music and guitar. She listens carefully. I then proceed to teach her a few chords, mostly the easier ones as she's still new to it. When I feel she's ready, I ask her a few questions.

"Which chord did I play now". She thinks for a few and answers "Umm, E?". "Are you sure". I know she's right but just wanted to check her confidence. "Yes, very sure". I smile and kiss her forehead as she told the right answer. This keeps going for some time, till I sing a song for her. Holiday by KSI. She smiles and looks at me. "This is my Fav; how did you know?". "Umm, I just know". She smiles and leans her head on my chest. Playing the guitar and singing her fav song, I smile reminiscing all the beautiful moments between us. Waking up next to her every morning, holding her hand, placing a gentle but passionate peck before we go for work, those small and cute dates, is something that can never be forgotten.

She faced a lot and I'm glad she made it out. I keep my chin on her shoulder and say "Thank you Siofra". "For what?". Placing a loving kiss on her cheek I answer "For staying strong and entering my life". She looks down smiling which makes me smile. "I love you Siofra". "I love you too Xing". Gentle breeze, curtains dancing with the rhythm of the breeze, bright but soft sunlight peeking through the glasses of the door creates a really sweet and romantic atmosphere. The best of all is the love of my life in my arms with a guitar. I don't think I need anything else. For me it's perfect.

"Oh, by the way, we have a masquerade party tonight". She looks up at me as her head is still placed on my chest. "Really?". I look down to meet her eyes. "Yeah, and we will be wearing each other's fav colour outfit". "Ooh". "Hmm, what's your fav colour". "Red and yours". "Purple". "okay". I smile and kiss her forehead and she smiles. We spend the rest of the afternoon with her being in my arms and occasionally playing the guitar.

SEHUN'S POV:

After the Lil meet of ours regarding tonight's party, I sit on the bed with my back resting against the headboard. Zyanya is back to being buried in her designs. "Babyyy". "Yesss". "Are you done with the designs?". "Almost, why?". "Oh, that. We are having a masquerade party tonight". "Ooh, okay...... Wait what?!?!.... Tonight?". "Yeah". "That's too quick". "Right". A wave of silence crashes between us. A sigh leaves my mouth seeing Zyanya still working. As she took holiday for a few days, she has new work waiting for her. Losing my patience, I get up from the bed and make my way towards her. Wrapping my arms around her shoulder, I place gentle kisses on her neck. "S-Sehun, please". "Nope, you're working a lot, keep it aside for some time". I mumble while continuing what I started a few mins ago.
