25 - She Takes Good Care of Her

Sometimes, I cannot believe my woman is seven years older than me. How can I when she is my baby Ling?

"Just this once..." She pouts and gives me those puppy eyes that she always uses on me to get what she wants.

But not this time, baby. I'll not give in this easily.

"No, P'Ling."

"Please..." She then starts to fake cry after pleading me with a dolphin voice.

Trust me, she is one of the most mature women that I met in my life but when her inner child shows up like this, I can only try so hard to maintain my poker face and holding back my smile. Because if I lose my composure, I know that's the beginning of me giving in.

Yes, I'm that whipped but not tonight. It's for her own good.

"P'Ling!"

She suddenly places her chin on my palm as she brings her face closer to mine, making sure I can freely stare at her angelic face. "But I want to make you feel better, Nong."

My heart fluttered with warmth when I saw her sincere gaze on me. I then call her name again but with much more softness in my voice. "Lingling..."

Caressing her cheek gently, I utter more with a slow pace, "I know you want to do it for me, but both of us worked until so late today, that we even took a flight, so give your body a rest, alright?" I peck her pouting lips while running my eyes over her own, and then her nose, to her lips. "You can give me a massage another time, Tee rak, is that okay with you? You already did it for hours in the plane, too."

"So you're not hurting anywhere now, right?"

"Yes, Tee rak. I'm okay."

Smiling when she finally gives in, I send her a butterfly kiss by rubbing my nose on her cheek which makes her giggle constantly. The sound of her giggles and laughter always makes my heart melt and I find it hard to stop myself from hugging her.

"You're already making me feel better by letting me hug you like this, Tee rak."

I know P'Ling is grinning widely right now as we both lay down side by side while I press my whole body against her, searching for warmth. The way she caresses my head while giving me small kisses once in a while just feels so soothing and soft.

"Tell me how can I show my love more to you, darling. I know I have my own way of loving you all this time, but I just want to make sure you get what you actually want and need, Nong. I want to cater to you."

"Show your other sides, then."

"Huh?" I giggle at her clueless lagging face that is so freaking cute.

"I know you have a lot of your own ways to love me, P'Ling. Maybe there are some sides that you never had the chance to show me. Who knows, right?"

Uh-oh. I think I just did a fatal thing. I think I triggered something within her that made her smirk like this. What's in that smart brain of yours, Lingling Kwong?

She then presses her lips slightly on my nose before pulling me gently into her arms, caressing my head tenderly. "I miss this so much."

I hum softly and lean my body closer to her as if it's possible. "I miss you so much."

"You make my sleepless nights bearable, Nong. Those long dark nights feel much easier by having someone that I love so much." I know she does not mean 'nights' in a literal way. She is trying to convey something deeper than that.

"Attachment feels foreign to me all this time because I'm afraid of getting disappointed at the end. But with you, I don't mind it at all. And by accepting that, I feel more humane. I'm more aware of my own feelings and act on them instead of running away. That's why, although the nights that are filled with worries, fears, and insecurities are still there, knowing I can actually love you gives me strength to go through it all, hand in hand, with you."
