Tharn's P.O.V:

I leaned down closer to his face.

But before I could do anything he opened his eyes.

We stared at each other for what felt like a minute.

"What are you doing?" He asked calmly.

Well at least he's calm and not throwing a tantrum.

"Ummm...I...I was just trying to..." I said.

I sighed and pulled away and he sat up.

"Well?" He asked again.

"Ummm...I was just trying to remove an eyelash" I said.

And to my surprise he started laughing.

"If it was just an eyelash then why are you blushing?" He asked.

"It's hot...the air conditioner must be broken" I said.

He sighed and nodded.

"I don't mind" He said suddenly.

"What do you mean?" I asked confused.

"I don't mind what you were about to do" He said smiling.

"Really?" I asked in disbelief.

He nodded again.

"I mean if we're already married and you said that you like me...then I should give you a chance right?" He said.

"Are you sure?...this isn't because you're feeling grateful right?" I asked again.

"Ai Tharn...I do feel grateful for all what you do for me that's why I always cook for you and do the chores...but that's not the case" He said.

"Then what's the case?" I asked.

He sighed and took my hand pulling me down.

"I'm not sure yet but I think I'm attracted to you" He said.

"Really?" I asked dumbly.

He sighed and put his hands on my shoulders.

"Ai Tharn...stop complicating things it's just a kiss" He said.

I nodded and just kissed him.

It took almost a minute for him to respond and most of my willpower to pull away.

After three months of being married I finally got to kiss him.

It felt good even if it was just an experiment.

It's finally a progress.

"It wasn't so bad right?" I asked anxiously waiting for his answer.

He shook his head.

"It wasn't" He said.

"But I expect more" I said.

"I know" He said looking at the floor.

"I can wait" I said.

He nodded and let go of my hand.

After a few minutes of just sitting there I could no longer tolerate the awkward silence.

"So how was the movie?" I asked.

"Huh?" He asked confused.

"The movie...Titanic" I said.

He rubbed the back of his neck nervously and laughed awkwardly.

"Ummm...Jack died at the end...it was sad" He said.
