A Late Night Stroll

The moment they reached him he said goodbye to the person on the other end and ended the call still oblivious to their presence.

"Mr. Maule?" Zunnie's voice called out to him but it was so soft that he had not heard her.

"Yo Carson, what brings you here? Did you come to visit my wife?" Alex spoke louder after he noticed Carson had not heard Zunnie.

"Ah Alex, I came to see you actually, but I only now reckoned it was too late and was about…" Carson turned to Alex as he spoke startled to see he was not alone.

"Zunnie, you're here as well. Pardon my abruptness in speech, it is good to see you. Are you feeling well? I'm sorry about the accident." He said nervously, his face a little flushed.

Alex quietly stared at him in amazement. He had always been curious as to whether Zunnie was mindful of Carson's feeling. Watching them interact, he was sure she was oblivious about his crush. However, seeing him flustered upon noticing her, Alex couldn't help snickering inside.

"Thank you, Carson; I am doing much better. I'm awake now so that's great. What brings you here?" She replied with a warm smile.

"I came to see Alex but didn't realize it was this late. I will come back tomorrow."

Even though he was curious about the brown envelope in Carson's hand, he agreed that it would be best to talk with Carson when Zunnie was not around. He did not want her worrying and stressing about the accident. Right now, all he wanted was for her to get better to come home to his surprise.

'Will she love it? I wonder how she's going to react when I reveal it to her?' He speculated as he waited for her and Carson who were chatting.

When Carson left the went on a stroll in the small park around the hospital.

A light and chilly wind breeze had replaced the hot day earlier, Alex couldn't help being thankful. He pushed her down a well-lit path lined with Saucer Magnolias, 'Thunderchild' Flowering Crabapple, Early Bird Purple Crape Myrtle and many other types of floras. It was so beautiful that neither of them wanted to speak for fear of missing this view.

Having this picturesque park around the hospital was a magnificent idea. The couple walked in silence for a while as they ogled over the starry night and the garden-fresh and blooming spring.

"Darling, the flower trees have already blossomed. The night air smells delicious. This is exactly why I need to go out, so I don't miss wonderful sceneries and sweet scents like this."

"I can take you out whenever you want."

"You're at work during the day, I don't need only the night view." She pouted.

Alex stopped next to a bench, scooped her up and sat down with her on his lap. He cuddled close to his chest. Her head rested on his chest while he combed his finger through the visible strands of short red-brown hair.

"Do you miss your hair?" He was cautious as he asked, afraid it might upset her.

"Yes, I do. It will grow back so I try not to worry."

"I miss your long hair as well, but I love you just the way you are. Don't ever change, even when we have children." He added the last line to tease her.

"You haven't touched me in months are you sure you remember how to…" She giggled and did not finish her sentence.

"Would you like me to show you whether or not I am still capable?" Alex tilted her chin, so his piercing amber eyes could scrutinize hers. What he saw in her deep blue eyes excited him. That innocent look she gave him when she was turned on was still there. His heartbeat increased and his blood became desirably hot.

The moment she opened her mouth to respond he stole her words by planting his soft full lips onto hers.

If she was not weak Alex would have taken her right then, and there but he had to wait. Instead, he continued devouring her cherry red lips. They had that familiar cherry flavor. He sucked both her lips and traced them with his moist tongue. He then used his tongue to push her lips apart and hungrily devoured them. She slid her arms around his neck as she returned his kiss, moving her body slightly closed to him. Alex sucked on her tongue and embraced her tightly. He deepened his kisses and continued devouring her warm and savory lips and tongue.
