Him Or Her (TaeNie & YoonLice)

53

- Lisa

I am in the living room...
Watching television.
Got no work for today...
No consultations, no paper works...
I asked for a another day off, I left work just for today.

I feel exhausted...
Not only physically but also emotionally.
I am being emotionally stable...
But the thing is...

"The emotion stable inside me is the feeling emptiness."

"The lunch is ready, queen."
        My body shivered at the sound of his hoarse whisper right behind my ear.

But I didn't budge responding on the sudden action.

I just nod and let him peck a kiss behind my ear.

"Do you want me to set it up here or I'll carry you there?"
       Few moments...

I didn't get to notice but he went in front of me.
His hands on my thigh, eyes gazing to mine with innocence. Thumb caressing my bare skin.

I stared at him and didn't utter an answer for seconds...

"Babe?"
       My eyes moved down on his lips as he called me 'babe'.

I still didn't answer.

Until I felt his hands quickly roaming up to my waist, gaining my attention back to his eyes.

"I want to eat here, please."
        I answered that moment I saw his lips parted to speak again.

He smiled and nodded.

He went to the dinning and placed everything on the tray to bring the dishes here in the living room.

The thing that kept repeating on my mind...
Is the question from last night.

"I wonder what happened earlier...
That made you be like this."

He brought the foods and rearranged the plates on the center table.

He looked at me and signaled me that it's all done after small period of time.

I went down to the carpeted floor and sat there.
Took the chopsticks on my own and started picking up foods to my plate.

I can feel his fixed eyes on me.
But I didn't budge looking at him.
I just continued eating.

Seconds...
I changed the station of the television.
While chewing, I turned my attention there.

I know he is not eating...
I know he is just watching me.
I am concern about him getting starved...
But the most of me just want to do nothing about everything.

"Lisa..."
       But then my heart skipped a beat that second I heard my name with his manly voice and serious tone.

I stopped...
I didn't move until I had mustered every guts inside me.

I looked at him and gave him a questionable look.

Seconds...
It took seconds before he answered.
He even let out a sigh before speaking...
A sign that he is frustrated about something.
