Wife Pretend

Morning

The sky looks shady, black clouds hang shutting up the morning sun. It was seen when Erika started to open the room curtain in the morning today. The sky that looks dim, like his heart is also soft.

In his face Dave's face is still sound asleep on the sofa near the window. For a moment Erika looked at the tired face of Dave who was still with his eyes closed. His heart trembled a little. It felt like she wanted to express all her feelings towards her pretended husband. But again his tongue felt strange.

Slowly he approached, sitting quietly near the sofa, without any cue Erika began to kiss Dave's cheek gently. With a red face, he smiled. After that, step away and step foot into the bathroom. Maybe it was the crazy thing he had done, but that kiss on the cheek was sweet to him. A stolen kiss in the shady morning.

After Erika passed, Dave began to open his eyes, apparently he was just pretending to be asleep. In her hold her own cheek which was a kiss from Erika earlier. A faint smile emerged from his lips.

"Hmmm..She's sweet too!" Dave Lirih. "Have my heart begun to be touched? Ah but not yet, I still need time!" He continued, changing his sleeping position to face the ceiling of his room.

Shortly after, Erika had started to return from the bathroom. Realizing that Dave was back pretending to be asleep. Erika was still trying to dry her wet hair with a small towel after the shower. His eyes were fixed on Dave.

He hasn't woken up yet. Her sleep is so good.

While heading towards the closet to pick up a change of clothes. Erika was just wearing a towel wrapped around her body. As he tiptoes to pick up the shirt on the top shelf of the closet, Dave suddenly comes and helps him to reach for the shirt he wants. Dave's position was right behind him, making his heart feel like being dislodged right then and there. Maybe at that time also Erika's face had started to heat up and meet red.

"You're su.dah ba...ngun?" Erika said with a stern voice. But talk without facing Dave who's behind him.

Dave took a few steps back after picking up clothes for Erika.

"Hey..! Why speak without facing me, it's not polite to know!" Said Dave in a slightly taut tone.

With a thumping feeling Erika also ventured to face toward Dave now. Still timidly Erika seemed misbehaved, what else she felt uncomfortable when Dave began to look at her with his current appearance.

"Why am I awake?" Exclaimed Dave again, while staring at Erika who still looked wrong.

"Se..Jak..when?" Erika was really nervous until she was still stammering while talking.

"Since you were so presumptuous, how dare you steal to kiss my cheek." His gaze was getting colder towards Erika.

Erika's heart again felt like being dislodged listening to Dave's frank speech. Instantly he also smothered his own mouth, feeling shocked and ashamed that mixed into one.

So he realized I was kissing him? Oh my, how is this? I don't want him to know my true feelings.

"Why you!" Exclaimed Dave who saw Erika looked shocked and had not said anything.

Erika nodded quickly. "Ahahaha.I must be crazy to do such a thing, that I just got carried away because I just read a romantic novel last night. Ahaha." Again Erika tried to laugh silly to cover her nervousness.

"really? So it's not because you're starting to like me?" Dave exclaimed without changing his flat expression.

Actually I like it, I like it. But I know you don't like me, so I don't want to say it. Let it be like this. Until you realize it yourself one day.

"Hey..! Why else stupefied like that? You look a little seductive too if you look like that!"

"What?"

"Yes.but unfortunately I'm not tempted!" Said Dave again as he passed from before Erika.

*****

Erika was done getting dressed when Dave just finished from the bathroom. As usual Erika prepared everything Dave needed and helped him put on a tie for the man. During that time everything again felt awkward. Erika didn't say anything, nor did Dave. Just a thank you and yes, since then, it has been heard.

"You still want to be home, or come with me to the office?" Dave finally tried to open the conversation.

Erika looked a little jolted in surprise. "That's, I still want to be home like that." Erika answered quickly.

"Oh..!"

"Tock..Just oh?" Erika was confused by Dave's response.

"No, I thought you wanted to go out with Mark again. Didn't you two take a walk yesterday?" Dave said as he walked to his desk to pick up something.

Huh..Die me, why didn't I tell you about it last night, would he misunderstand? But he seems to be just being indifferent. Hemm.

"Yes.I went out with Mark yesterday, I feel good at home. Are you angry?" This must be a silly question, Erika thought. Where he might be angry, Dave never cared about him. Again his mind cursed itself.

Dave was a little bit chuckling. "ahahahahah..Why am I angry, you are so ridiculous, who do you think you are? It was precisely I who told Mark to accompany you yesterday."

Huh..So he sent? Wh-wh-what for? What exactly is he planning? Why is this man full of mystery.

"You want to go with him again, let me tell Mark to come with you again." Continue Dave with a flat voice, and now it looks finished looking for the object in the car earlier, namely a mobile phone.

"You don't think about it, I told Mark to go with you because he's my confidant, so you're safe with him." Dave seemed to know what Erika was thinking.

So he's worried about me? Did ya? But why do I feel like I can't trust him completely.

"Well, baby for your attention." Said Erika while smiling spoiledly at Dave. His mind said he must be crazy for again daring to say such a ridiculous thing.

Erika touched the buttons on her shirt.

"Why you? I told you I don't have any taste for you." Dave is back in the face. He felt bad every time Erika tried to tease him.

Ahaha what the hell is he, just so much his face was red.

"I thought you wanted it earlier, so I just took the initiative."

Ah I must have taken the wrong medicine, how could I have contracted such words.

"See.what the fuck are you!" Walked towards the door and exited the room without looking at Erika again.

Huaayah...I have to how else, I don't actually want to be like this either.

SERIATE...
