Secret Love Nest 2018

Quiet and Still

Qing is pampering me. Sometimes, being knee deep in shit of problems can be advantageous to a person.

Look at me, my personal life is for shit right now that's why Qing is being extra attentive to me.

Qing: I am just scared that you will do something stupid amidst all the stressful things happening to you.

Me: (scoffing) Do something stupid? Who? Me? When have I done something stupid?

Qing: (wincing) Should I answer that?

Me: Will your answer hurt my pride?

Qing: (nodding) It will not just hurt your pride. My answer will eviscerate it.

Me: Then don't answer that. Let me keep my pride.

Qing: (hugging me) I love you.

Me: (burrowing into his embrace) Thank God you love me, because I think I am too much to handle sometimes.

Qing: (sighing) Most of the time...

Me: (frowning) What?

Qing: You are too much to handle most of the time...not just sometimes.

Me: Wang Qing!

Qing: (hugging me tighter) But that's okay...you loving me back is more than enough compensation.

Me: (pouting) Loving you is not exactly a walk in the park, you know.

Qing: I know. And you are so good at keeping up with me. Thank you, Love.

Me: You're welcome.

We need moments like this. Moments when we need to reassure each other that it's still worth our while to be together. Qing is my anchor, he keeps me sane. Like I said, in this rough weather, only my love with Qing makes sense.

So I let my lover pamper me.

We did grocery together. We sampled a high end mart that Qing's mother recommended to us. Mama said they sell fresh organic produce there and Qing wants to know if that's true. My lover is obssess with things orgarnic nowadays.

Our dinner menu will consist of steak and veggie lasagna, Qing is a carnivore and I want to sink my teeth to some tomato based dish. We also visited a wine store and I debated with myself on what wine I will get. I told Qing to stand aside and let me choose the wine. He seems happy with what I chose so there's no issue in that.

Then we get back home where Qing told me to relax and he said he will do the cooking. I said...

Me: Sure, knock yourself out.

What? Qing is still the better cook between us. And we have two prime steak, cost quite a lot so I don't want to mess it up. I don't want another "evil spaghetti" episode. Instead, I took a bottle of beer in the living room, fired up my laptop and watch this American series I am currently following.

But Qing walked to the living room to put a stop at my binge watching. He gently pushed the the monitor of my laptop down to close it.

Me: Why?

Qing: Let's close our gadgets tonight.

Me: Ooohhh, a technology less night. Sounds kinky.

Qing: (laughing) Just for tonight. Let's turn off everything and just focus on us.
