PART 1
MALE'S P.O.V~
One stroke here, one stroke there, and my fingers grew fatigued, holding the pen against the blue screen, my eyes weary from working all day.
I might have been busy working, but my mind was still glued to the clock hanging right in front of me. That slow pace time irritates me like every other day.
Why does the time slow down at that very part of the day? Why does the sun start running so slowly, the night never appears quickly and the birds never stop chirping?
--- I should place that damn clock somewhere else!
That was my regular routine. I'd draw all day long and as the day would start walking towards the end, I'd unconsciously start waiting for her.
--- When will she come back home?
My mind jumbled as my hands no longer remained able to pay attention when I suddenly heard the door being unbolted. My ears stood up, the pen from my hand crashing on the screen as in a hurry, my eyes turned around, staring at the door.
Her gentle voice followed right after that and called me to come into the living room.
I instantly stood up from my working chair, her word a command for me, and after dropping every thought and my work, I dashed to her.
My feet instantly halted before her as I looked at her sitting on the couch, a bag and a bouquet resting beside her.
She was finally in front of me, looking absolutely gorgeous in her office suit, but she also seemed tired and fatigued.
I could look at her the whole day without a blink but the sight of the red roses brought an unexpected warming feeling in my heart, prompting a smile of joy on my face, taking all of my attention. In my head, those roses were brought for me.
"Come here." As I sat down beside her according to her demand, she passed me the bag, with a soft smile clouding her features. "And you're right, these are for you as well." She added as she handed me the bouquet.
The smile on my face stretched from ear to ear and I could not contain myself from instantly hugging her waist, the bag squashed in between us.
I was filled with joy, the frustration of waiting for her leaving my mind like it had never been there.
As I rubbed my face into her warmth, I felt her hands slip into my hair and her tone forming sweet words, "You haven't checked the gift yet."
"I know it's the best gift ever." Her scent felt intoxicating, calming my senses, but she suddenly blocked it as she yanked me back and ordered me to tell her if I liked the gift or not.
I just wanted to cuddle, but I also wanted to see the gift and obey her.
Nodding to her command, I quickly pulled the wrapped slim box out of the bag and ripped the gift wrap apart, prompting her to chuckle. "You're always like a little puppy."
My ears turned warm at her words as I continued and eventually pulled out the gift that she bought for me.
A clock.
Astonishment surfaced on my face, my eyes darting out as she added. "Do you not like it? You said you hated that clock, so I bought you a new one."
--- Is she really this naΓ―ve?
It wasn't that I did not adore the gift, the thing that perked me was the simplicity of her thoughts.
---- How could she not tell me why I hated that clock?
The situation warmed my heart even more. Her thought of giving me the things of my preference melted my heart.
"I love it." Putting the clock aside on the table, I again snuggled into her waist, and flashed my eyes up at her, pouting, "And I don't hate the clock because of the way it looks. I hate it for some other reason."
"Some other reason, what is it?" She questioned, curiosity coloring her eyes warm.
"I - I keep looking at it--" Bashful to answer to her question, I hid my face in her waist, continuing in the form of muffles. "Whenever it's time for you to come home, I keep looking at it. And it irritates me because the time runs so slow at that time."
FEMALE'S P.O.V~
His words peeked warmth in my heart and urged my hands to yank him up on my body, his face quickly finding its way into my neck.
"Then I wasted my money on the clock." Whispering, I slowly drove my hands from his neck to down to his waist, softly caressing his clothed body.
"Why?" His tone seemed baffled, astounded, yet calm as he muffled under my neck.
"You're going to hate that clock as well," I spoke and drove my hands further into his pajamas, softly grasping his ass cheeks.
