NovelEnglishFelix stepped into the quiet apartment, feeling the itch of impatience for not seeing her immediately. His hand was already on the
doorknob, ready to exit as swiftly as he had entered when her voice floated from the bedroom.
"Felix, cto the bedroom."
He ambled towards the room, finding her perched on the edge of the bed, clad in something that could only be described as risqué.
Carol stood and twirled. "Well, what do you think? Sexy, isn't it?"
Straightforward as ever, Carol never played coy. They had been dating for three months, and she wore her heart on her sleeve,
never hiding her likes or dislikes.
This was her first tdonning such provocative attire, and she was eager to gauge Felix's reaction.
Felix, lingering by the doorway, felt his pupils constrict ever so slightly as his gaze settled on her. The room's brightest light was
off, the subtle glow from the bedside lamp casting an intimate ambiance.
Carol sauntered over, wrapping her arms around his neck. "You haven't said a word. Do you like it?"
His hands reflexively found her waist. "Gorgeous."
"Really?" Carol's hand began to wander south to test his reaction, but Felix caught her wrist and pulled her into a deep kiss.
A surge of sweetness filled Carol's heart, and she drew her hand back. The night unfolded as it often did, with passion and intimacy
that lasted till the dawn.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut Felix always insisted on a blindfold or for her to face away from him, a detail that didn't bother her much—though sometimes
she longed to see his face, to decipher the emotions he hid so well during their most vulnerable moments.
Over the next month, Felix was exceptionally attentive. He picked her up from work every day on time, cooked and cleaned
whenever he was at her apartment. Life felt like a cozy domestic bliss until lan returned from abroad.
Carol had intended to visit Maja, but she couldn't bear to cut short her precious moments with Felix, whose free twas a rare
commodity. When Carol finally caught up with Maja, after she had taken over the refurbishing of Greenfield Gardens, she couldn't
help but marvel at the situation.
"So, he doesn't know you're his wife, and you're fixing up his true love's place?"
Maja nodded, and Carol burst into laughter, giving her a thumbs-up. "Maja, you're a clever one. Imagine lan's face when he finds
out. That's going to be a show."
With lan's return, Maja becpreoccupied, further limiting their encounters. Carol reveled in her sweet romance, occasionally
window-shopping with Felix. However, as money was tight, they rarely purchased anything, often just admiring the wares from
outside the shops.
Sometimes, the snide remarks of salespeople who noticed their empty hands seemed to stick with Felix. Not long after, he
surprised her with a pair of $300 shoes and a $400 skirt—modest items compared to the rest of her wardrobe but priceless to her,
knowing they were bought with Felix's hard-earned cash.
Wrapped in Felix's arms after another night together, Carol spoke softly, "Next time, don't splurge like that. Didn't you say your
relative was sick and needed money?"
"I don't want to see you go without," Felix said, his voice tender and touching.
Carol was instantly moved, kissing him lightly on the lips. "I honestly don't need those things. | don't even get why they're so
expensive—it's like they're just shearing the well-off."
As he patted her back, Carol felt comforted, reminiscent of the security she missed during her childhood when nannies, not
parents, were her companions.
Her affection for Felix grew, especially after his thoughtful gifts, and she looked forward to a future where they could share a larger
home, perhaps with a dog or a cat in the garden.
The next morning, Carol woke to the sound of clattering in the kitchen. Felix had taken a half-day off to bake her a birthday cake—a
modest four-inch creation that was perfect for two.
As she wandered around the small apartment, Carol daydreamed of the day she could gift Felix a spacious house. She wondered
when the right twould be to share her true feelings.
Later, Felix returned from the grocery store, arms laden with fresh vegetables and fruits. Carol watched him tidy their cozy home,
and every now and then, she would sneak up behind him, wrapping her arms around his waist, her voice dripping with affection.
"Felix, you're so capable," she cooed.
