321 In the Pool

''No, play it that way, I don't mind…''

Liling objected immediately, shaking her head. Knowing that she might not hear him play again, she wanted to listen to him for the first and the last time; but that was not what was on Liu Wei's mind;

''Sunshine, I'm not going to play it here, I want the first time you hear me play to be special; ''

He said zipping up the guitar bag. Liling wanted to object but she pursed her lips swallowing in her words;

''Okay, I'll wait…''

Her eyes stung because she knew she wasn't going to be there to hear him play.

''Since you wouldn't play me a song, I'll play you one ''

She said as she stood up and walked to the grand piano; sitting in front of it, she tapped on the keys for a moment as though thinking of the song she wanted to play him;

''The city sky's feeling dark tonight

We're back to back with our hands down

Look at me... give me more tonight

Just give me more of your love now

Let's set fire to the lonely night, you're beautiful when you look at me

Let's give love another life,

'Cause you'll be safer in this arms of mine

Just call my name on the edge of the night

And I'll run to you…

Although she was going to leave him to save her father but she wasn't going to leave him forever; she was going to find a way to come back… to come back to him.

Even if it's gonna break me love'

Gonna make my way to you

Anyway it's gonna take me love, I'll run to you

I'll run to you love…

Run ... Run…

…

When she finished singing, Liu Wei gave her a round of applause;

''Wow, very nice! My wife is so pretty when she plays the piano.''

He said with a contended smile;

''You can say that again. ''

She replied with a giggle;

After looking round the house, Liling opted to swim in the pool. Since their stuff weren't back yet, Liling swam with her lingerie.

''Do you remember that time you got me paralyzed? When I tried to save you from under the water? ''

Liu Wei asked as they sat down resting after swimming for a while, their legs inside the water.

Liling thought for a while, and then her eyes widened, a laughter escaping her lips;

''Oh my God, yes! I was already praying my last prayers then, I thought of a million terrible things that you could do to me, for using your private pool and getting you paralyzed in it…''

''Well, I have something to tell you…''

Liu Wei said, a dark shade of pink tinting his cheeks;

''What? ''

He was quiet for a few seconds; as though arranging his words;

''I was never paralyzed; it was just a ploy to get you to be close to me…''

At his confession, Liling was silent, trying to understand his words;

''Yeah, I told him what to say…''

''What the… BABY!''

Liling exclaimed as her face turned a shade of red; she quickly pushed him inside the pool amidst his continuous laughter.

''And you watched me fret all day! My god, now I think of it, how could a paralyzed person stand up strong the next day and was able to lift me off the couch to the bed?! Oh god! How foolish I was! ''

Liu Wei was still laughing as he wiped the water off his face;

''I'm sorry, I was just so much in love with you at that time but you weren't seeing it, I couldn't control myself…''

He explained, pushing open her thighs and standing in between them.

Liling, who was feigning a frown, burst out laughing.

'That was so childish. How could you? You could have just told me you liked me than putting yourself through the stress. ''

''Don't even go there, you blatantly created a space between us and no matter how I tried to fill it then, you made sure that it was still there. Even when I knew you had started falling for me, I was still scared to ask you, because I was afraid you would turn me down.

Lord, sunshine, you dealt with me. Do you know how many nights I would stay awake just to hear your door creak open and wait for it to close again? Because I knew you always go down to drink water in the middle of the night. ''

Liling's ears irked up at his revelation.

''And you know… the times you refused my help, those times were really heart shattering; You know, I chose gahll because I knew you were there, and sunshine, even without you doing anything, you would have still qualified.

I don't know what's about you, but I just know that there is something pulling me to you, and that force I've never been able to resist, not that I've ever wanted to either.''

When he was through speaking, Liling leaned closer and pecked his forehead.

''Let's fuck… now. ''

He was shocked at her sudden utterance.

He chuckled;

''I thought you said till after the wedding? ''

''I've changed my mind. ''

She said and immediately crashed her lips into his.

Liu Wei stepped back twice before he was able to stable himself;

She was fast, as though she wanted to devour every inch of him;

Her lips left his mouth and licked his face, neck, and down she went into the water,

Liu Wei chuckled and tried to slow her down;

''Sunshine, wait, let's go in…''

He said trying to stop her, but Liling shook her head;

''No, I want you to take me here, right here in the pool''

Her hands went to her back and she undid her bra, letting it fall into the water; she lifted his hands and let him cup her breasts;

Liu Wei was thankful that the pool was hidden, so he didn't mind. Pushing his hands below, he pulled her thighs upwards and Liling crossed them around his waists simultaneously.
