Michael slowly opened his eyes when he felt a hand gently tapping his arm and a voice calling his name.
His eyes narrowed as he felt the direct sunlight, he's awake but still in daze.
"You're awake?"
Michael turned to his left, his wife's beautiful face greeted him with a sweet smile, making Michael a little confused.
Wasn't his wife angry with him last night?
Sarah then immediately told Michael to change his position into a semi-sitting position, and helped him do that because she saw Michael was still half awake.
However, before Michael's brain had time to think what was going on, Sarah suddenly put something into his mouth.
"Try it," Sarah said with a hopeful face.
Michael still didn't make a sound, his face looking confused at what had happened. With his eyes still not wide open, he stared at something in Sarah's hand, which he didn't know because he was still gathering his soul.
"How does it feel?" Sarah asked curiously, watching Michael's face closely.
Michael didn't answer, he chewed whatever his wife gave him, then swallowed it.
"Good," he finally answered. "But what was that? I can feel the vegetables," he continued.
"That's the sandwich we're going to take for our picnic. Does it feel right? Nothing missing?" Sarah asked again to make sure her sandwich was just right.
Actually, you can't fail at making sandwiches, but Sarah wanted Michael to enjoy his sandwich when they went on a picnic later.
She wanted to surprise him and let Michael eat it when they got to the picnic, but instead of Michael not enjoying it later, she'd better let Michael try it first.
Michael nodded, though he felt Sarah was giving him more vegetables than meat, but that didn't matter at all.
"But… aren't you mad at me?" Michael asked quietly when he saw Sarah smiling happily.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe didn't know how many times he and Sarah had fought when they married, but he couldn't remember any of it. As he recalled, in their three months of marriage, they had never had a fight.
So, you could say last night was his first fight with Sarah, and Michael didn't know what to do with it.
He had thought about giving Sarah some alone time like last night, but after that, Michael didn't know what to do.
What if Sarah keeps giving him the cold shoulder for a few days?
Should he leave Sarah for a few days?
Michael obviously didn't think it was a good choice, he didn't want Sarah to ignore him for a few days.
So, right now he was a little confused by Sarah's completely different attitude from last night.
"Well… it's a new day, we don't have to think about what happened yesterday," Sarah answered looking awkwardly, not expecting Michael to clearly ask that.
"Emm… Sorry, I guess I was a little too sensitive yesterday," Sarah continued finally as she turned her face away from Michael. For some reason, she felt embarrassed to look at Michael while apologizing.
After giving it some thought, Sarah knew she shouldn't have been mad at Michael too much, but she was too proud to rush out of the room and apologize to him.
So, she decided to sleep and thought about acting normally the next day.
Tomorrow they were planning to go on a picnic, and Sarah didn't want it to be postponed just because of her childish fight with Michael.
After all, she didn't have much time to spend with Michael as Mr Collins' condition was getting better.
So… before she left Michael, she wanted to make her memories together with Michael, as wife and husband.
Not that she still had feelings for Michael or wanted to get back together with him.
She just wants to make good memories, and thinks of Michael as a "good past" because right now, Michael treats her well.
Michael was slightly taken aback when he heard Sarah's apologies, before his lips formed a wide smile on his face.
Meanwhile, Sarah immediately stood up and prepared to head downstairs to continue their picnic preparations.
"Then get ready and… ahh!" Before Sarah could continue, she felt something grab her wrist and pull her, causing her to lose her balance and fall back onto Michael's thighs.
"Babe? What the… hmph!" Once again Sarah was unable to continue her words when her lips were immediately covered by Michael's.
"What's with that kiss?" Sarah asked when Michael just gave her a quick kiss.
"Make up kiss?" Michael asked back with a smile.
"Oh..." Sarah said actually a little disappointed. She thought at least the kiss would last because Michael pulled her onto the bed.
Michael chuckled at the look on Sarah's face, then leaned forward, kissing Sarah's nose this time.
"I know you want to keep kissing me, but I just woke up and haven't even brushed my teeth," Michael said explaining why he only kissed Sarah briefly and didn't eat his wife's lips fiercely and didn't intend to let go
Sarah's face turned red when she heard that.
"Who wants to keep kissing you? Let go of me, I have to prepare sandwiches for our picnic," Sarah said then hit Michael's arm which was above his stomach.
However, Michael didn't move, he leaned forward his body again. This time, his lips moved closer to Sarah's ear.
"You know… it only took me five minutes, ah, maybe two minutes to go to the bathroom and brush my teeth then come back here," Michael whispered in a husky voice that sounded very seductive.
Sarah's expression looked surprised to hear that, she unconsciously swallowed her own saliva and moistened her lips which suddenly felt dry.
Before Michael returned to his original position, Sarah suddenly put her hands behind Michael's neck, restrained the man from sitting up straight again, then lifted her head.
"Then… what are you waiting for?" Sarah whispered and then gently blew on Michael's ear.
Suddenly, Sarah felt as if her body was thrown once again on the bed, and saw Michael running towards the bathroom.
Sarah blinked at the sight of Michael who wasn't even wearing his sandals to go to the bathroom, before finally starting to laugh.
"You have two minutes, Babe. Eleven… twenty…" said Sarah, who was already kneeling on the bed and starting to count down and then intentionally skipping the numbers, her face showing a big smile.
Sarah could hear Michael's voice complaining in the bathroom, making Sarah laugh with amusement.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"You better hurry, Babe. Fifty… Fifty-three…" Sarah shouted excitedly.
From where she was, she could hear the water tap opening and Michael's commotion in there. It seemed the man was in a hurry with what he was doing.
"Babe… Your time…" Sarah didn't finish her words when she saw Michael coming out of the bathroom with his face wet, as well as the clothes he was wearing.
The man stood in front of the bathroom door, staring intently at him.
"Oh… you're done? But it's a shame your time is up. You said yourself that it was only two minutes," said Sarah, putting on a guilt-free face and getting ready to get out of bed immediately.
Actually, Michael had just spent a minute or so, there was a clock on the wall in their room and Sarah looked at it.
However, today, for some reason she wanted to tease Michael.
"Well… you're not going anywhere, wifey," Michael said with a grin.
Sarah could sense something dangerous and instinctively stared out the door, Michael also looked at it.
The two of them then immediately ran, before Sarah had time to open the door, she felt a hand wrapped around her body, making Sarah finally laugh.
Come to think of it, her position with Michael was like the position of a right triangle. If she is corner A, then the bedroom door is corner B, and Michael is corner C.
Even though she is closer to the door, right now Michael is like taking drugs to push him to go faster.
"Okay fine, you got me," Sarah said, choosing to give up, even so, a smile appeared on her face.
Michael smirked, then quickly put one hand behind Sarah's knee and lifted her up, causing Sarah to let out another small scream as Michael carried her again.
"I can walk alone! You don't need… Kyaa!" Sarah screamed again when Michael threw her on the bed.
Before long, Michael was on top of her and started kissing Sarah on the lips, this time fiercely.
Sarah could feel the menthol taste when Michael kissed it, it was the toothpaste flavor they used.
"Babe… Wait…" Sarah said, trying to break the kiss when Michael kissed her too fiercely and passionately. She still had to make sandwiches for them to eat later.
However, Michael didn't seem to hear Sarah and even used the opportunity to explore Sarah's open mouth.
Sarah's hand, which had been trying to push Michael, finally decided to give up.
Well… who cares about that d*mn sandwich!
