Love Affair w/ My Ex-Husband

✧─ Chapter 15 ─✧

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The never ending laughter continues for the ill fated couple as they spent their entire afternoon jumping off the waterfall multiple times without a care in the world.

After having their fun, Baekhyun wraps her in a towel as the sun begins to set in the horizon. Esther looks at him with love in her eyes. Not with lust anymore.

"Go take a warm shower while I fix dinner." He says as they both approach the front porch. "What about you?" She asks. "I'll take one in the morning." He opens the door, walking inside as she follows him in.

~30 minutes later~

Esther wore some lose fit clothes after treating her skin to a daily cleansing routine. She looked out the window to see outside surrounded by nightfall.

Upon approaching the living room, Baekhyun was nowhere within her sight. "I thought he was making us dinner." She thought to herself.

But to her surprise, she saw sparks of fire floating in the air that were coming from the outside of their front porch. Esther ran out only to find Baekhyun grilling their dinner.

"I thought we were having dinner inside!" She chuckles as she approaches him. "Well, life is full of surprises, baby!" He smirks. "Have a seat by the bonfire! Food is almost done!"

"You don't want my help?" She asks. "No. I got this. Go sit down." He says, flipping the meat over. She shrugs her shoulders as she sat down. Grabbing a stick, she pokes the burning logs as she stares at the fire with awe written in her eyes.

As soon as Baekhyun finished grilling the pork, he brought over the food. Both of them begin to dig in as they recall their happiest memories.

"You did a great job starting the bonfire." She says, taking a sip of her beverage.

"It wasn't easy since the logs I used had a different type of requirement to set on fire." He sighs, staring at the growing fire.

She pats his back. "At least you put in the effort. That is what matters." He smiles back her. Having his back is what Baekhyun needed the most from Esther.

"I'm so full now." She finishes groans as she swallows her s'mores. "Yeah because you ate half of the food that I made." He scoffs.

Ether picks up a log. "Not my fault that your food is seriously delicious." She tosses the log into the fire.

"I'm glad you enjoyed my cooking, but would it of killed you to share a bit?" He stands up, picking up the trash that was around them. "No comment." She whispers.

He smirks to himself. "What a foodie." He says in his mind as he cleans up and he sits back down next to Esther as she leans her head on his shoulder.

He puts his arm around her as both of them were mesmerized by the bonfire sitting right in front of them. "Baby?" Esther said. "Yeah?" He responds.

"What do you think will happen if we get caught?" She asks.

Baekhyun takes his arm off as he looks at her with a concerned expression. "Baby? Why are you even thinking about that?" He asks.
