Ella buried her head in Samuel's arms, shyly. Samuel replied to the policeman, "My wife and I."
"What are you doing there?" The policeman was approaching them as the flashlight beam was drawing nearer.
Samuel squinted at the light and said carelessly, "What do you think we are doing at the dead of night?"
"Why are you lurking around here at the middle of the night? You must be involved in shady deals. Follow me to the police station!"
The unexpected news fairly knocked Ella over. 'We screwed up. Are we really going to the police station?' She thought to herself.
She didn't expect that Samuel would suddenly touch himself and then touch her with his hands. So she cried in shock, "Ah!"
The policeman understood what was going on and switched off the flashlight.
"I see. You'd better hurry up. I'll wait for you outside."
He muttered as he walked away, "I'll need to double check if they are really married couple."
Ella's face burned with shame. She pummeled Samuel's shoulder with her fists, "Samuel, you really cooked my goose."
He was strangely undisturbed, picking up from where they left off before the policeman interrupted them.
'Oh no! If the police told the media what happened here, her career in showbiz was done'. She thought.
Samuel, busy kissing and touching Ella, ignored her sentiments.
Cold winds blew, but the couple felt no chill in the air.
However, the policeman standing beside his car, shivered.
Finally, an hour passed. He flashed his torch at the spot under the tree and saw their shadows interlaced with one another.
Another hour passed. He checked with his torch again and they were still there.
"Fuck. Is that man a beast? Doesn't he get exhausted?" He recalled how long he usually lasted during love making and became angry. He decided to go inside if they did not come out.
Three hours later, the sound of an engine revving could be heard from the other exit of the grove.
The sound made the drowsy policeman jolt awake. He flashed his torch at the tree and saw nothing. They had gone.
"Fuck! The two bastards have played a trick on me and run away!" He searched through the grove but found nobody in sight.
They had driven away in their Audi car.
The next morning, a kiss on her cheek roused Ella from her slumber. 'There was no doubt it was Samuel.' Ella thought. "Samuel, get away from me. I'm sleepy!"
Samuel arched an eyebrow to show his innocence as he was buttoning his shirt.
He laid another kiss on her forehead.
Ella turned over with dissatisfaction, "Samuel, You ungrateful brat. Get out!"
"There will be snow in June next year." Samuel replied calmly. Ella was confused by this saying but she was too sleepy to ask why he said that.
When he saw that Ella was about to fall asleep again, Samuel said, "Lift her off the bed and let her tie my tie for me!"
Samuel sounded like he was addressing someone else. 'Who could it be?' She wondered.
Then she willed one eye to open and saw Samuel gazing behind her.
"Dad, stop bullying me. It's your duty to lift mum off the bed. Do it yourself." With arms folded, Jerry stared at his father angrily. 'How could a little kid lift a grown-up?' Jerry wondered.
He would like to ask his father to think before he talks.
Samuel smiled at Jerry's reply and gave him a smug look, "Watch this!"
After buttoning up, he took off his slippers, climbed onto the bed and kissed Ella.
His tongue made its way through her teeth. The kiss was passionate.
