Secret Love Nest 2018

Coffee Dates

It was all an accident really.

(Oh my God, another accident?! What it is this time? You slipped on the bathroom or a pillow almost smothered you to death?!)

Jeez calm down! This accident is no way life threatening. Why are you all having a breakdown in my diary?

(Oh...it's the balcony thing. We haven't recovered from it yet.)

Get over it. Qing and I already moved pass it. Get on with time. This is a different accident.

Anyways, getting pass all your little breakdowns, this story happened one fine afternoon.

Qing left to go to the gym, I adamantly declined to join him. I still hate doing heavy exercises. We have a treadmill at our condo, I am happy to run there and not listen to my lover enumerate the benefits of lifting weights.

Qing can lift his weights for all he wants, I will not stop him. He can knock himself off with them.

But, Qing accidentally left his phone when he went to the gym and someone sent him a message. So I opened Qing's phone to see if that message is important and I got to read his other conversations with people.

Now...you all know me, I am not the jealous type. You all know that, right?

(Oh boy, don't we know it...*sigh*)

Exactly, you all know that Qing is the one prone to jealousy in this relationship...but when someone is sending flirtatious messages and asking my man for a "coffee date" with a smiley emoticon, all rules are out of the window.

I tell you...my eyes widened, my body froze and my every senses turned on when I read that message.

By accident of course...

(Oh of course...surely no one is accusing you of deliberately tinkering Baba's phone to spy on his messages...)

Qing accused me of tinkering his phone to read his messages as a way to spy on him.

(Oh boy...)

In fairness to my lover, he said those words in jest but, again, you all know me. I am a mass of sensitive flesh nowadays...what's with Meng and Xiao still in a lockdown and ignoring each other.

I am a sensitive jerk.

So what happened was like this...

Me: (sitting on the couch and reading a magazine when Qing entered our home from his stint on the gym) Someone messaged you.

Qing: (casually dropping his duffel bag on the living room floor) Really?

Me: Yes.

Qing: Where is my phone? I forgot to take it to the gym.

Me: (pointing at the cabinet where we put our keys) There. Have you taken a shower in the gym?

Qing: Not yet.

Me: (scrunching my nose) Take a bath first. You surely sweated out.

Qing: Okay.

I turned to see my lover walking towards our private quarters. I have no doubt that he will follow my order to take a bath first. Qing can be obedient if he puts his mind to it.
