The alarm didn't go off, so when Suny woke up, it was more than seven. The sun gleamed through the quiet room. Last night's feelings of excitement, intensity, and happiness were still vivid in her mind. Suny instinctively touched her blazing cheeks.
"M, open the curtains." Her voice was cracked.
She quickly got off the bed, and when she finished her daily routine, it was almost nine.
Suny heard Austin’s voice when she walked down the stairs, and through a hollow Chinese-style screen, she saw him making a call.
"That's it. Rearrange the meeting to this afternoon."
Austin ended the call and walked to Suny. "Still hurt?"
"No." Her cheeks immediately flamed, and her eyes darted around the house to find an excuse to get her out of this embarrassing situation. Thank God! Catching a glimpse of the bags on the table, she raised her voice and asked, "Breakfast?"
"This one is pumpkin chocolate chip pancake and that one is avocado toast," Austin said as he unboxed the takeout.
"I'll take the avocado one."
Austin placed some chocolate pancakes on Suny's plate.
Suny was busy chewing the toast, and suddenly, the room fell into a peaceful silence.
The morning breeze brushed across the room, rustling against Suny’s red cheeks. Austin reached out to help Suny tuck her hair behind her ears.
Suny lifted her eyes at him, grinning. "Do you have a meeting this morning?"
"I shift it to this afternoon."
Suny lowered her head and her lips sealed into a smile.
Well, Austin changed.
After breakfast, Suny received Rosa's call.
Suny was supposed to be at the company now, so Rosa just called to check out.
"Well, I'm feeling a bit under the weather. I want to take a day off."
Rosa put her worries down. "Have a good rest, Miss Holland."
As she hung up, Austin called her name.
"What's wrong?" Suny asked with raised eyebrows.
"Any idea for lunch?"
It wasn't the first thought in his mind, but after last night, he decided to drop the idea.
Suny looked into Austin's eyes, and asked tentatively, "How about Mr. Johnson cook for me?"
People said a man would do whatever a woman wanted after sex. Suny just wanted to prove it.
"Okay, but I never cook before."
He could handle eggs, but definitely not a table of food.
"I trust you!"
Austin ordered some ingredients from a grocery store and ran back and forth in the kitchen.
