The Day He Matured

When the clock struck six o’clock in the evening, Brian took Mrs. Alina to the airport. Before leaving, she did not forget to give me a thick red envelope.

Even though I am an adult, when I receive lucky money, I am as happy as a child.

Watching the car disappear at the end of the road, I no longer feel sad because I know this spring I have him, I am not alone.

For several hours I sat on the doorstep, looking out at the gate and waiting for him. And as soon as I heard him ring the bell, I immediately ran out, frantically putting the key in the lock.

I thought I was the only one in a hurry, but this man was even more urgent, he stopped the car as soon as he drove into the gate and told me to lock the gate and get in the car.

“What are you laughing at?” Brian narrowed his eyes and looked at me and asked.

“The distance from the gate to the garage is very short, why did you tell me to get in the car?”

“I like that.”

This guy is too unruly, as long as it’s what he likes, he’ll do it?

But to be honest, I like him like this. When I’m with him, I feel like I can carry my whole childhood with me, laugh a lot, joke a lot and I feel that I’m much younger, even though the worry about the storms in the near future still remains unrelenting.

“Why don’t you get out of the car?” Brian lowered his head and stared at me because he saw me sitting still in the passenger seat even though he had opened the car door and waited for a long time.

“Carry me out.” I raised my voice to suggest to him.

“You already know how to coax me, right?”

“I already know.”

I nodded repeatedly, raised my hand, and waited. I rarely have long private days with Brian, so I have to try to torture him.

After shaking his head and giving me a loving smile, he handed me the car keys, carefully carried me out of the car, and slammed the door with his foot.

“Lock the car, baby.”

The car squealed as my finger touched the button on the key.

I must admit that Brian is very strong, he carries a person of nearly fifty kilograms, but it is as if he is holding a baby rabbit, he walks quickly, not breathing fast.

We glided through the scene filled with yellow flowers under the soft yellow light. I rest my head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat in it.

These beautiful, dreamlike, poetic moments will forever be etched in my mind. Years go by, and today’s story will become tomorrow’s past. I will keep these memories in my heart to preserve them forever.

“Are you going to the bank tomorrow morning?”

I leaned on the back of the chair and asked while Brian was locking the door.

Whenever his mother was away and he wasn’t busy handling the bank’s affairs, he would always compete for my job. And that makes me happy.

“Are not. But in the evening, I have to go to the bank’s year-end party.”Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

“Oh, I forgot, the bank always holds a year-end party on that day.” I nodded, recalling.

“Don’t worry, I will attend for about half an hour and come home early.”

The sentence just finished, Brian approached me, and he put his hand on the back of the chair so that I was surrounded by his arms. His fragrant breath caressed my skin, making my face hot, and my heart skip even though there was no music.

Although I’m happy when I hear him say that, I don’t want him to neglect his work because of me.

For entrepreneurs like him, partying is also a job, not simply going to eat and then going home like people like me.

Not long ago, Sunshine Bank had a problem, but big customers still chose to trust Brian, calmly waiting for him to solve it.

This party, of course, has their presence and is also an opportunity for him to show his gratitude, if he leaves midway, I’m afraid it’s not very good.

The host of the party cannot leave before the guests.

“If I’m alone at home, it’s okay. Go to the party and don’t come home early.” I spoke softly.

“If I stay there for a long time, I will be invited to drink a lot by people. And if I’m too drunk, I’ll…”

When Brian said that, he hesitated and then kept quiet, making me worried. In my mind at this moment, a chase between a cat and a mouse appeared.

No, this cat is weird, it looks more like a wolf, and its snout is drooling.

“You will… how will you?” I shivered when I saw him getting closer and closer to my face.

“I will…”

“You will…”

“I won’t be able to take you back to your hometown to visit your parents’ graves.”

After Brian finished speaking, he turned his face to the side and buried his face in my hair, not kissing my lips as I thought.

His mind is clear, but mine is dark, right?

But the situation just now caused me to misunderstand it is understandable.

Because of the bottle of fruit wine, I climbed into his bed and slept until morning when I discovered that I had lost my virginity. So, when I hear the word “alcohol”, or “drunk”, I immediately think of that.

“From today until my mother comes back, let’s sleep together. Every time I hug you, I sleep very well, you are softer than a teddy bear.”

I chuckled, stroking his broad back to show my agreement. I like to flirt with Brian and vice versa I also like him to flirt with me.

I won’t tell him that I sleep better in his arms, too.

I feel sorry for that brown teddy bear, every time I carry the pillow to his room, it will be abandoned by him. He carried it to the corner of the wall and put it face down as if it were being punished.

Time seems to go by faster when I’m with him. I just had a short nap when the sun came up.

The two of us clean the house, decorate the altar, wash the blankets, dry the clothes, cook, sweep the yard…

When everything inside and out is clean, shiny, and beautiful, the sky will also fall in the afternoon.

He glanced at his watch and then went back to his room and into the bathroom, and I rummaged through the closet to pick out an outfit for him.

Actually, all of his outfits are beautiful, he can pick them at random but he just wants me to choose them.

“Let him wear this suit. Elegant, luxurious, and full of charm.”

I put his clothes neatly on the bed and ran back to my room, taking a shower because I was also smelling like an owl after a day of digging all the corners of the villa to clean.

I also clean every day, but at the end of the year, there is always a lot of work to do.

When I went to the living room, I saw my beloved appear. He’s too handsome, his hair styled with hairspray makes him so much sexier.

Is this man my boyfriend? It’s an honor and a blessing for me.

He was like a jewel that fell into the mouth of a toad. But it’s all his choice. He doesn’t like swans, he likes toads.

“The female employees and customers will fall in love with you. Remember the way back.” I crossed my arms, mocking him even though I really wanted to run up to him and kiss him.

“Never be jealous of anyone because you are the only one in my heart. Do you want to hug and kiss me?”

Oh, this guy put the chip in my head, in my heart, in my stomach, right? How can he read my dark intentions? I don’t know if I should be happy or scared.

“I want.” I nodded slightly, replying softly.

He strode towards me and hugged me tightly. I closed my eyes, immersed in his signature scent.

He was born in the mint bush so he has this scent, right?

I crave snakehead fish sour soup, although I know this mint is not used to make sour soup, it still makes me crave.

Tomorrow, I will cook a big pot of snakehead fish sour soup to satisfy my cravings.

I was infatuated when he suddenly pushed me away and quickly placed a kiss on my lips that made me dazed, my whole body relaxed, letting him hold me.

His lips are soft and sweet. I crave mints with a chocolate filling in the middle, so I’ll have him drop by the grocery store and buy me a big pack so I can take it back to my room and eat it slowly.

“I have to go, we will continue at night.” He said in a heavy breath as our lips parted.

“Buy me a pack of Dynamite chocolate mints, a big pack.”

“What?”

“Candy.”

His hands held my shoulders tightly, his brows furrowed, and his eyes looked at me with a puzzled expression.

If he knew that while kissing him, I remembered candy, he would be very disappointed, right? He would call me a glutton.

Because his lips are soft and cool and I am an imaginative person.

His white skin makes me think of dumplings. When he smiles, his teeth make me think of boiled corn, and his fingers make me crave bamboo shoots. In my eyes, he is a large plate of food with all kinds of dishes.

“Okay, I’ll buy you three big packs for you to eat until you have tooth decay.”

Brian pinched my cheek and walked away. Luckily, I thought he was going to ask something.

I suddenly thought of Richard. Richard is also one of Sunshine Bank’s loyal customers, he will definitely receive an invitation card. He hasn’t texted or called me in a long time.

Even though I know it’s good for both of us, sometimes, I still feel guilty because I have betrayed the sincere heart of the guy who has always remembered me for all these years without opening his heart to accept anyone else.

I just hope that Richard will soon erase my shadow and give him a better chance.
