Behind the Curtains: A Tale of Hidden Emotions

Chapter 23

When we returned to our hotel room, we were all exhausted. We headed straight to the bathroom to remove our makeup, change our clothes, and go through our night routines.

Despite the fatigue, I felt a deep sense of happiness and satisfaction with how the show had ended successfully. We still had more shows overseas for our blank the series filled with love tour, so we started preparing our luggage and organizing the gifts from our fans to take back home.

I glanced at my girlfriend, who was casually leaning back on the chair in front of the vanity. How could someone be effortlessly hot? Sometimes, it makes me think that the world isn’t really fair.

I walked over to her and hugged her from behind. She groaned a bit and leaned into me.

"Is my baby tired, hmm?" I asked softly, hoping to ease some of the exhaustion she was feeling.

We had a lot of projects lined up, and I knew the coming months would be very tiring for us. But I wasn’t complaining. I was grateful for the opportunities to showcase our talents to the world.

I was also looking forward to meeting more fans from all over the globe, wanting to personally thank them for all their support and love.

"I love it when you call me baby instead of mommy. It makes me feel more like your girlfriend than a mother," she said sulkingly, her eyes still closed.

"You don't like it when I call you mommy?" I asked, gently massaging her chin.

"It's not that. Just... you know—" She trailed off, and I immediately understood. She only wanted to be called mommy in more intimate moments.

"I know exactly what you mean," I smiled, giving her a sensual kiss. She was about to deepen the kiss when I turned my face slightly, causing her lips to land on my cheek.

She groaned and pouted, asking for more.

"Shh! We have a flight tomorrow. We should rest. Now get your butt up and take a bath. You stink," I joked. She never actually stinks.

"Baby!" she pouted again, making me laugh.

"What happened to the cool daddy Faye, huh?" I teased, referring to her famous alias.

"I'm cool when I'm outside, but I'm a baby when I'm with you... Your baby. I'm your baby, right?" She smiled cheekily at me. I found her so adorable that I pinched her cheek, making her pout and jokingly glare at me.

"What?" I challenged playfully.

"Nothing," she said, folding immediately and hugging me affectionately. "But on a serious note, you really bring out my inner child. My inner child was healed because of you, Yo. I don't know what I'd do if I lost you." I was deeply touched by her words. I gently distanced myself from her, staring directly into her eyes.

"You've healed my traumas too. Don't be afraid of losing me, because I will never do anything to separate us. I know it's too early to say this, but I have never been more certain of my feelings for anyone as I am for you. I can't afford to lose you either. So let's stay like this forever, hmm?" She nodded immediately and hugged me tightly.

"I wouldn't accept any projects if it wasn't with you," she declared. I laughed and lightly smacked her back.

"You silly, of course you have to! I'm not the type to get jealous easily. I know that work is work, and I trust you too much to get jealous." We stayed like that for who knows how long, saying reassuring things to each other like we were getting married and saying our vows.

When we were done removing our makeup and taking a quick bath, we both applied our skincare. It was then that Faye broke the silence.

"Baby, why were you dancing so sexily earlier?" she suddenly asked, making me laugh.
