CHAPTER 16

       “BABY… Baby… Baby…. Miss you so much!!!!” Tiffany yelled excitedly while rushing and jumped into her girlfriend as she finally finished her photo session for ELLE.

       Taeyeon jerked as she didn’t expect it; however she quickly opened up her arms and retrieved Tiffany though she stumbled and stepped backward for some steps. Tiffany giggled playfully and shot a quick peck on Taeyeon’s lips then wrapping her arms around Taeyeon’s neck as though didn’t have any intention to touch the ground and wanted to stick with her only. Now Taeyeon was carrying her on bridal style.

       “Fani~aaaa,” Taeyeon pouted and shook her head. “Don’t do it again,” she pretended to be annoyed.

       “Why Taetae?” Tiffany replied with aegyeo and creased her eyebrow. “You don’t want me snuggle to you?” she thrown a rhetoric question.

       “Stupid girl,” Taeyeon giggled leaned forward her face toward Tiffany. Tiffany got the cue and leaned downward a little. Taeyeon smiled and landed a kiss on her lips.

       “First, you are heavy,” Taeyeon said, back to the topic.

       “Don’t care. My hubby is supposed to be strong enough,” Tiffany shook her head and frowned.

       “Second, you may make both of us fall down,” Taeyeon pretended to state seriously.

       “Don’t care as well,” Tiffany replied, still with the same stubborn expression.

       “It’s okay if I have to fall down with you,” she smirked.

       Taeyeon couldn’t help but gave her another quick peck.

       “Third, we’re at public place.”

       Tiffany frowned deeper. This time, seriously.

       “What’s wrong with it?”

       “You’re still starting your career here. Everything you do would probably have a potential to lead to an unnecessary rumor. Try to not make a scene, Baby,” Taeyeon explained patiently.

       “I don’t care about it,” Tiffany replied nonchalantly. “I love you and I don’t mind if the world know.”

       “I know, Baby,” Taeyeon said patiently. “But for this one, I care. Because I love you so much and I also know, you love your career as well,” she explained. “Don’t be stubborn and I will love you more and more,” Taeyeon persuaded and smiled.

       “Jongmal?” Tiffany’s eyes were sparkling. “Yagsoghae?” she said airily and widened her smile.

       “Swear to God and promise you,” Taeyeon assured and couldn’t help but giggled again at her cute girlfriend.

       “Okay, Baby,” Tiffany quickly said. “Love me more and more then…,” she whispered seductively and ended the conversation with a kiss again.

       They had dining at Tiffany’s house. But this time, Taeyeon was the one who cooked; and actually she’s better in cooking comparing with Tiffany. She made and served spaghetti carbonara for her girlfriend and then put the napkin on her. She gave a quick peck on her cheek before she pulled out a chair and sit beside her. Taeyeon grabbed some spaghetti to Tiffany’s plate and took it in front of her.

       “I don’t know you can make any Western food,” Tiffany said dubiously.

       “Indeed,” Taeyeon smirked. “Actually I just learnt it. Hope it isn’t terrible.”

       “What? You just learnt it?”

       “Why look so surprise?” Taeyeon asked, deadpan.

       “Because I know you love Western food. It was very normal for me to take every step I need to make you happy,” she explained then smiled complacently.

       “It’s really grand prize for me,” Tiffany couldn’t hide her exultation. It may just a little thing, but for her, it was ‘something’. Tayeon knew how to treat her well and exactly knew how to make her fall in love deeper and deeper every single day. And she really relished it forever. She knew, she would always be missing the moment.

       “It’s nothing, Sweets,” Taeyeon replied. “As I said, I will give you more and more,” she whispered.

       Tiffany could she how much the girl loved her. And she never resisted showing how great her love was as well.

       Tiffany shook her head in disagreement.

       “Every little thing you do for me, Tae,” she said casually. “Is just another blessing for me,” she stated sincerely. Tiffany paused for a moment then she was staring into Taeyeon’s eyes.

       “Thank you for loving me,” Tiffany continued and held her hand on Taeyeon’s hand. Taeyeon seemed a little surprise yet touched with Tiffany’s sincere words.

       “It’s because you gave me a chance to let me love you, Fani~aaa,” Taeyeon pleaded.

       “No,” Tiffany shook her head again. “It’s because you make me fall into you in every breath you take,” Tiffany said again. It may seem cheesy, but for Taeyeon it was so pure and sincere. She never imagined someone would tell you such touched words like that before. She was riveted for a moment due to Tiffany’s statement until Tiffany yanked her with a warm and smooth kiss on her cheek.

       “Come on, finish it,” Taeyeon asked. “My hormone demands more,” she smirked.

       “Such a byuntaeng,” Tiffany replied, pretended to be indignant but she knew Taeyeon knew that she wanted it as well.

       Taeyeon carried Tiffany to their room carefully. She put down Tiffany on the bed and stared at her for a moment. They were drifting on the warm silence, where only both of them and God who had idea about it.

       Tiffany lay on the bed, while Taeyeon was above her, supporting by both of her arm. They were eye-ing each other as though they gleamed with satisfaction along. Then they were giggling together. Tiffany’s fingers were running across Taeyeon necks and then tracing her face. Taeyeon felt a little bit ticklish and she giggled again. Then she cupped Tiffany’s cheek and brushed her lip on Tiffany’s one. They managed to kiss and in a moment, their body began to feel warm, even hotter.

       “I love you, Fani~aaa,” Taeyeon whispered. “I know I was too often to mention it, but really… I mean it,” she said and pecked again.

       Tiffany squinted to her eyes shut and she felt Taeyeon began to her clothes. It revealed her smooth skin and her cleavage. She it gently then caressed it for a moment. Tiffany groaned impatiently.

       “Don’t tease me, Taeyeon~aaa,” she said indignantly. Taeyeon giggled and pretended to ignore her.

       “You must be tired today, Sweets,” she said.

       “Wait here. I’m gonna give you a massage,” Taeyeon said and pulled away her body.

       “We won’t do it tonight?” Tiffany asked wonderingly when Taeyeon was back with massaging cream.

       “You need a rest,” Taeyeon said, understandingly.

       “But I’m just okay if you want it, Taeng,” Tiffany said.

       “Of course I want it,” Taeyeon plastered a smile. “But no when you’ve drained all of your energy like this,” she assured and beckoned Tiffany to wear off her clothes. Then she spread the cream on her skin surface of back and began to rub.

       “Taeng,” Tiffany said. “Are you deliberately doing this?”

       Taeyeon looked puzzled. She paused massaging for a moment.

       “Doing what, Baby?”

       Tiffany tilted her head and beamed a smile.

       “Make me crazy about you,” she said bluntly.

       Taeyeon breathed out in relief. “You scared me. I thought you accused me for something bad,” she hissed. “I didn’t make you crazy about me. Otherwise, you did,” Taeyeon pleaded.

       “How can?” Tiffany asked airily. “I think I didn’t have any good side that could make you attracted to me.”

       “Baby,” Taeyeon continued massaging again. “You need to know, sometimes we don’t have any good or even strong reason to love someone,” she said.

       “All I knew was I love you, your bright side and your dark side. I want to be someone who gets the honor, to let to put my ears on your chest, to listen to your heart beat, and to know that it’s really beating for me,” Taeyeon said again.

       Suddenly Tiffany turned around and bent down. Her arm was curling around Taeyeon.

       “You had no idea about the consequence, Taeng,” Tiffany shook her head seriously.

       “What are you talking about, Baby?”

       “Affirmatively, I’m yours. You’re only one who can kill me. I never imagined how do I live without you. I’m begging you, Taeng. I’m begging you, never leave me. Never changed. Because I’ve witnessed many people changed. People changed easily. And when it comes to you, I really couldn’t…”

       Taeyeon hushed Tiffany by pressed her lip to her.

       “Don’t you feel it?” she whispered. “My blood was circulating for you only. I’d better dead than living without you too,” she said.

       Finally, Taeyeon finished massaging Tiffany. Now both of them lay on the bed. Taeyeon warmed Tiffany into her hug.

       “Sweets, I want to tell you something,” Taeyeon spoke up carefully.

       “What is it, Tae?” Tiffany asked curiously. Taeyeon leaned her chin on Tiffany’s shoulder.

       “But promise me don’t be mad at me,” Taeyeon said again.

      Tiffany tilted her head and faced her girlfriend.

       “It depends on what you are going to talk,” she stated in firm tone. “But you know, Taeng, I would never be mad at you too long,” she replied and giggled. Taeyeon felt relief again.

       “Did you make some mistake?” Tiffany asked in soft tone.

       Taeyeon shook her head.

       “This week I probably back home late, Fani~aaa,” she said carefully.

       “What’s wrong?” Tiffany narrowed her eyes.

       “I have something to do. I have to… ehem,” Taeyeon cleared and managed to say.

       “I have a relative here. During this week, she has some business at her office and she’s supposed to be back late. She had a children; it’s still 5 years old actually and she asked me a favor, to look after her child – called it my niece, during this week, until she back home.”

       Tiffany released a deep sigh. Obviously, she got disappointed listening to that.

       “Doesn’t she have another family or relative?”

       “Unfortunately, not, Darling,” Taeyeon said. “I’m the sole family.”

       “Listen, Baby. You don’t have to wait for me and just sleep…”

       Suddenly Tiffany yanked Taeyeon’s arms and released herself from her hug.

       “Who…whoa… what is that?” Taeyeon asked confusingly.

       Tiffany just turned around and now his back was facing Taeyeon. She didn’t answer and kept silent.

       “Baby… Don’t be mad at me. Please understand me this time. I don’t have any choice.”

       Indeed, Tiffany absolutely didn’t like to face the fact that she would spend less time with Taeyeon this week since she valued every seconds she spent with Taeyeon but actually it wasn’t the cause of her annoyance.

       “You’re stupid. Don’t talk to me,” Tiffany said.

       “Yes, I’m stupid and fool. I remember I’ve told you,” Taeyeon replied patiently. “So would you tell me how can you don’t be mad at me again?”

       “It isn’t because you have to back late,” finally Tiffany managed to say. She knew, Taeyeon was too kind-hearted and she would never be angry to her.

       “I didn’t like you ask me to sleep and not wait for you,” she stated and Taeyeon was in shock mode for a moment when she found it really out of her thought. Actually it was funny.

       She couldn’t hold her giggle then manage to hug Tiffany again. This time, Tiffany didn’t pull away; but still didn’t give any response too.

      “I’m sorry, Baby,” she said. “Just wait me back home then,” she landed a kiss between her words. “I promise you I’ll back as soon as I can and won’t let you down.”

       “Am I forgiven?” she teased.

       “Dunno,” Tiffany pouted.

       “You really don’t know?” Taeyeon played around then began to tickle Tiffany hard.

       “Taeng! Stoppppp it!!!!” Tiffany yelled hopelessly in the middle of her laughter.

       “No before you forgive me!” Taeyeon threatened and just kept tickling.

       “Okay. Okay. Forgiven!” Tiffany briskly said. Her breath was a little bit unstable now.

       Taeyeon smirked satisfyingly.

       “You’re such a mean hubby,” she mumbled.

       “You’re such a mean wife, don’t want to forgive your hubby,” Taeyeon replied.

       “Argghhh,” Tiffany groaned in her frustration. “Don’t begin a word war with me. You know I will never win against you. You’re gonna killing me with your words otherwise.”

        Taeyeon giggled and caressed Tiffany’s hair gently.

       “Let’s sleep, Baby. Many things to do tomorrow. Saranghae,” she said.

       “Nado saranghae, Taeng…,” Tiffany replied and smiled complacently.
