Lina's P.O.V.:
"Lina chan..." Yukimura kun suddenly hugged me from behind as I was about to walk out from our chamber...
I froze when I felt his arms around me and Yukimura kun turned me around slowly...
"Where is my beautiful wife off to so early in the morning?" he asked teasingly as he caressed my cheek.
I flinched when he did that...
Yukimura kun's baby blue eyes were filled with hurt and I felt guilty as hell...
Why can't I stop this freezing thing whenever I see him raising his hand? Or when I feel cornered by him? Is it because of the fear when I was trapped in that alley?? Or was it because I'm afraid he will hurt me again???
I really hate making Yukimura kun feel this way but my body just acted out of natural instinct...
"Lina chan..." Yukimura kun whispered as he hung his head. "I'm so sorry..."
"Don't be!" I said gently as I cupped his face to look at me. "I know you didn't mean what you said or did yesterday..."
As I did that Yukimura kun's eyes glanced at my bruised wrist...
He raised a hand and I held back flinching as he traced a finger lightly over the marks...
"Saizo was right... I am mistreating my wife..." he whispered with a dejected expression and my eyes softened as I pinched his cheeks.
"You are certainly not mistreating me my dear husband." I giggled as Yukimura kun frowned at me.
"Why is Saizo's speech habit rubbing off on you?"
I shrugged.
"Don't know. Maybe cause' we are childhood friends?"
Yukimura kun pouted and I can't help myself but peck his lips.
"Don't be upset kay'?" I tilted my head and gave him a wide smile.
Yukimura kun shot me back a boyish grin as he placed his hands on my hips.
"So.... Where is my beautiful wife off to?"
"Hm... Your beautiful wife is off to her grandma's restaurant."
"Huh? For?"
"I just want to drop by and see how it's doing. And most of the customers always ask for my cooking."
"Aww! I'm jealous that my wife is being fawned over by others!"
"You know I only have eyes for you..." I whispered as I leaned forward to press my lips against his...
