Secret Love Nest 2018

Dreams Do Come True pt5

It was a fun night. And even though we succeeded in tiring each other in that bed, Qing and I still managed to wake up, wash up and dress for tangerine picking the next morning.

We joined a group of tourists. Most of them came from Europe and South East Asia. We said we are best friends on a trip. Which is true, Qing and I are best friends.

Best friends who kiss, says I love you to each other and sleep in one bed. But no one in that tourist group needs to know that.

I enjoyed tangerine picking. There is a technique to go about it. Don't pick the big ones, they taste bland. Just pick the medium size, the right size because they are the one that will sure taste the best. And make sure to snip it with a little stalk remaining on it's top.

Qing and I managed to eat our fill of Jeju tangerines. They taste so sweet and good. Between Qing and I, we managed to fill two boxes that we will take home with us to Beijing.

Qing: Send one box to Mama and Baba in Harbin. They can give Meng and Xiao's share.

Me: And one box can be shared by Mama, Auntie and JiJi.

Qing: I will buy a little box of it for you. Eat them in our condo. Although I thought you are sick of it by now, you ate those tangerine nonstop in that orchard.

Me: I still want more.

So Qing bought a small sized box of Jeju tangerines for me.

After lunch, Qing went out to meet the client Zhu Gege asked my lover to meet.

Before leaving, Qing left me a tight hug and a thorough kiss. I don't feel bad anymore that he is doing a little business in this trip.

I started packing our stuffs. Our flight back to Beijing will be that night. After making sure that everything were on their right places in our luggages, I started making notes of the things that happened to us in this trip.

I look out of the terrace, to the blue green sea of Jeju. This place is a paradise, true, but we almost lost ourselves in this place.

Qing forgot for a moment that I am suppose to be his focus during this trip.

I forgot that not everything goes according to my plan. Sometimes I am really inflexible. But it is still Qing's fault. It's his mistake and Qing admits to that.

Still...I love the man and I cannot bear to lose him. Not here in Jeju. Not in Beijing. Not anywhere.

Not this time. Not tomorrow too. Or the years that will come.

Losing Qing...is something I still cannot imagine can happen to me. And I take that as a good thing. It means I still see my life with him by my side.

We managed another year of being together. I know many things will come and will test our love. Those things may weaken our resolves, one of us might let go. One of us might surrender. No one can tell. No one knows what will happen in the future.

But not today. Today, Qing and I remained strong. We remained together. And that...is a dream.

Last night, after making love, Qing held me tight.

Qing: I dream of forever with you, Dayu. That dream, I am working hard to make it a reality.

Me: (smiling) That's a nice dream.

Qing: (smiling back at me) (one hand caressing my cheek) What about you? What do you dream about? (face going sour) Aside from jacuzzi sex that is impossible. It's really impossible Dayu ah. We couldn't even apply lube properly there.

Me: Maybe people who had sex in a jacuzzi doesn't involve lube.

Qing: What? That...so only straight couple are allowed to have jacuzzi sex?

Me: Maybe. But that is unfair...

Qing: Yeah. It is unfair. Maybe we should research about it.

Me: Forget about it, I told you, I lied. I never had a jacuzzi sex dream.

Qing: Still...we should at least try to have one in a jacuzzi.

Me: Yeah.

Oh we are so in tuned with each other.

Qing: Do you have another dream?

Me: A lot. But the most important has already come true. You...

Qing: (groaning) Fuck! Is this a contest again? Who can say the cheesiest line?

Me: But you love it! (laughing as I poke his cheek) You are blushing. Oh...Mr.Wang is touched by my words. Score!

Qing laughed and hugged me tighter.

Qing: (kissing my forehead) You are my dream that came true as well, Dayu ah.

I closed my eyes to savor his words and love. And I slept peacefully in his arms.

Dreaming is nice. Dreaming is good. But reality can be better than any dream.

I have never had a dream that is better than my reality.

Because my reality is Qing.

And he is my dream, my blessing and my love.

That...is not a lie.
