Brian wrapped his arms around Molly in a moment and she let her head rest upon his chest. Lost in the passion her man brought to her, all her thoughts stopped as if her heart took over from her head when they were close. She had lost count of how many times they made sweet love to each other, but every time she would fall asleep in his arms. Rays of the early morning sunlight cast squares onto the glossy stone floor, reflecting onto several objects in the room which decorated its otherwise simplicity. The warm ball of light filtered through her thin eyelids and awoke her. She turned around to get up but her body felt like she had been run over by a car.
"Oh, it's killing me," Molly groaned. It had been a while since Brian had acted so passionately in bed. And every single movement she made sent painful tremors through her body.
"Tap-tap!"
As she lay in bed trying to ease her agony, she heard a knock on the door. She rubbed her eyes and shook her head to clear the sleepy fogginess in her head, lazily responding, "Come on in..."
But before she could even finish her words, the door was pushed open. It was Charlie. He stood by the door, staring at her with his hands resting on the handle, as if he was waiting to say something. "Mommy, breakfast is ready, and daddy is waiting for you.
Daddy said he's got other plans today, so you'll have to take us to get applied in school!" said Charlie, taking his time.
Molly was still in a daze in her sleep. She changed her position and sat upright on the bed, goggling at her son with confusion. "Good morning, sweetie! I'm sorry, but I didn't quite catch you. Have we already decided which school you were going to apply for?"
Charlie seemed to be slightly annoyed, sighing in exasperation, and said, "Don't you remember what Daddy said to you last night at dinner? We're going to study in A City, Mommy! I clearly remember you nodding your head at Daddy when he said it..."
"Did I?" murmured Molly, still gazing at Charlie blankly. In truth, last night when they were having dinner, all Molly could think about was how to make Brian leave the Public Voice alone, and thus, everything else they talked about must have gone over her head.
And later after dinner, Brian made such passionate love to her that even though she wanted to have an elaborate discussion with him, he left her no strength to do so. Was Brian deliberately trying to keep her distracted?
However, as she rubbed her temples with her fingers, upon noticing the annoyance on Charlie's face, she nodded her head and said, "Okay, I'll come downstairs right away..."
"Great, I'll wait for you downstairs," said Charlie, turning around and hopping down the staircase like a little bunny rabbit.
