Samuel was about to say something before the two sales women brought a pile of bags and boxes to them.
So he checked the goods quickly and instructed the sales women to take them to the cashier for payment. Ella stopped him and asked, "Samuel, if you pay for these, do they belong to me?"
Seeing Ella's thoughtful expression, Samuel realized that he couldn't win her back easily, which he had expected before. He mulled over it for a while and answered conservatively, "Sort of."
Ella wondered what he meant by that and blurted, "Can I handle them as I wish?"
Hearing this question, Samuel knew immediately what she wanted to do.
Samuel pulled Ella aside, and said to the sales women, "Take me to the cashier desk."
Ella wanted to go with them, but froze due to Samuel's piercing stare.
Samuel made the payment with his credit card without any hesitation, and ordered the sales women to unpack them all.
He knew Ella wanted to resell the products, but without the packages, she couldn't be able to do that.
While the sales women were removing the packages, Samuel opened one bottle of face cream to smell its scent. It was nice, not very strong, but quite pleasant.
After the sales women unpacked all the goods, Samuel took the skin care products and left the department store delightfully with Ella.
Ella wasn't happy at all. She kept gazing at what they had bought on their way out, grieving over the money they had spent.
'Damn, Samuel removed all the packages. I can't sell them now, ' thought Ella.
No-one would purchase unpacked items, so Ella had to keep them all.
When they arrived at the apartment, Ella took the vegetables into the kitchen and started to wash her kitchenware.
She also put seafood in the container, and started to clean the tomatoes as well.
Samuel sat on the sofa near the kitchen door and watched Ella working in the kitchen. The scene stirred up something inside him.
He couldn't help but enter the kitchen.
Ella had just completed cleaning the tomatoes before the glass door was opened by Samuel, wearing a white shirt.
"Hey! This is no place for you, " she yelled. 'The oil and smoke, whilst cooking, will make his clothes dirty', Ella thought.
Samuel is in agreement, but instead of leaving the room, he proceeded towards Ella and circled his hands around her slender waist.
Ella had tied her hair back before she started cooking, thus exposing her lily-white neck.
This attracted Samuel to kiss her earlobes and neck, eagerly and repeatedly.
Ella shivered and flushed immediately. She rinsed her hands before slapping his hands, "Get out, I'm cooking!"
"Okay. Okay, " Samuel answered carelessly, and turned Ella around to face him.
He pressed her against the washbasin, leaving no space between them, and kissed her rosy lips.
"What..." 'What is he going to do?' Ella wondered. Ella recalled his whisper that morning and grabbed his hands that were still fondling her.
"Samuel, I'm cooking. Stop disturbing me." Her red cheeks evoked his feelings.
He kissed her lips once more and requested, "Call me Sam, like you did in the past."
He missed her calling him "Sam" softly.
