Reaping Me Softly

Chapter 38 - Red Piece

We both don’t have any idea how long we slept together. But it was already morning when I woke up, of course, he was the one who woke up first. I never knew that I could sleep that much...

I didn’t sleep well for the past few days, so that was maybe the reason why I slept that long. I felt like my head was spinning through. Must be because I overslept.

After fixing myself, I went straight to the kitchen where I found Simeon having a nice coffee.

“Good morning, baby...” I greeted him as I walked towards him to give him a kiss which he gladly answers.

I walked towards the fridge and surprisingly, when I opened the fridge to get some fresh milk, I found a lot of food. A stock that I think would last for a month.

“Did you panic buying?” I asked out of the blue when I found more on the cupboard.

“Huh?” He towered over me, looking inside the cabinet. “Oh... Well, I know you’re the type of girl who woke up at three in the morning to eat, baby. So, I bought a lot of food. I even assumed that this won’t last for a week.” He shrugged after throwing those words at me.

I slammed the door closed. Slowly, I turned around to glared at him.

“Are you insulting me?” I raised my brows, then lean on the countersink as I folded my arms above my chest.

“Baby...” His shoulders dropped and tried to reach on me which I just shrugged off. “I was just stating facts, love... I remember you telling me to sneak out during the night just to snack out so, I presumed...”

Shaking my head, I turned my back and opened the fridge again, and just grabbed the processed food in the freezer.

I am hungry and milk won’t do.

Well, I don’t know how to cook. Processed food is the easy way, I think... I’ll just heat the pan, pour some oil then, fry hotdogs in low heat.

Done.

“I already cooked breakfast,” he uttered and I stopped.

“What?” I stared at the processed food. “So, I won’t be able to try and cook these hotdogs in a plastic?”

Nodding, he snatched the food away from my hand and returned it back to the fridge. Then, he opened the microwave, then pulled out three uniform small Tupperware.

“I prepared us some breakfast. I’m sorry I had to eat first as I was really hungry, baby. Though I just actually finished eating and kinda regrets my decision of being impatient for a while... This is our first breakfast together after two months yet I chose to eat alone.”

So dramatic...

Shaking my head, I grabbed a piece of plate and utensils before sitting on the chair. He put the Tupperware in front of me then, opened it one by one and the smell of familiar tocino filled my nostril.

I almost closed my eyes because of the sweet aroma.

“You forgot to put rice on your plate,” he tsked.

My lips pouted. “I was not used to it, sorry.”

My usual breakfast contains bread, pancakes and the likes but rice? I just learned to love rice when he came as Simeon loved eating white rice so much! Although he controls his intake as it was not good in our health.

He didn’t talk. Instead, he took my plate and returned it with enough rice. Smiling, I leered at him.

“Thank you, baby!” I expressed happily and started eating.

“Which one of your plans do you want to do for today?” he asked as he sat across me.

I gulped the food down my throat before I spoke.

“How about swimming? Although I want to swim in brines but whatever is available, then I’m fine with it. Like the lake...” I shrugged.

“There’s a sea five minutes away from here. We could just walk from here to there...” he said as he brought the cup to his lips, then sipped.

“Omg. Really?! Alright! Right after I finished eating, we’ll go there and swim!”

And that’s what we did. He just gave me less than fifteen minutes to prepare. And for the love of God... I intended not to bring a swimsuit even though it was my plan to swim in an ocean, and although it was my goal to wear one to boost my confidence, still, I never think of buying myself one but...

“This red swimsuit fits you well, Lia. Try it on...” he even assumed that it would fit in me.

“Simeon...” I almost cried in frustration. “Why did you even bother buying me one? I told you, I’m not confident enough to wear that.”

“C’mon, love. Mom personally bought it for you to try on.”

Upon hearing it, my eyes widened in shock.

“I think I lost my sense of hearing for a second. What did you say again?” I even went closer to him.

He chuckled, amused by my response.

“Mom told me to give this to you when she learned that we’ll be out for vacation. So please, try it. I might take a picture, too, and send it to my mother as she requested.”

My blood rushed to my cheek. I wanted to hide... And did his mother literally brought that red swimsuit he was holding for me? And she even wanted a picture... Like proof that I wear it.

“Are you being serious?” My voice almost shook. “Your mother... She’s not mad at me anymore?”

“She was not mad at you, baby,” he corrected. “She was pissed but not mad, okay? There’s a big difference between the two.”

I sat at the edge of the bed when I felt my legs getting wobbly. This was such a piece of good news. I was getting crazy thinking about how to make his mother forgive me but now...

“My god, baby...” I covered my face shortly before looking at him. “I am so happy, love. That means that she accepted me as your girlfriend... All your relatives accepted me.”

“They never said that they don’t,” he said sarcastically. “Get up and try this on, so I could seed my mother an evidence that my beautiful girlfriend wears his boyfriend’s mom chosen swimsuit just for you.”

Pouting my lips, I stood up. “My body—“ he cut me off by hushing me.

“Your body is perfect, baby. It’s perfect, okay? There’s no need to be ashamed of any parts of this beautiful body of yours.”

He even went closer to me to studied my figure. I just wore his shirt and thong underneath, and with his burning stares, confidence slowly creeps inside of me making me smile.

“Thank you...”

Instead of further arguing, I just tried it on and when I went out of the bathroom, the smile on his face can’t be wiped off.

“Damn, love... You are so sexy!” he complimented and I blushed. “I think we should just ride the car to go there. There were only a few people here but, I don’t want anyone to see the sexiness you hold, baby.”

“They would still, baby. I’ll take this cover off if I swim.”

His mouth parted slightly. Then, he sighed realizing it.

“Right... I don’t want to forbid you as it’s your body but, please... Don’t stare at them, okay? Just focus on me, baby.”

Nodding, I smiled. “Alright, my possessive boyfriend.”

We did ride the car for one; he brought us food, a picnic mat, and a portable hammock for us. It took us less than five minutes to arrived at the beach wherein few people were there, swimming wearing a swimsuit, and two-piece.

Some were sunbathing...

I clutched my dress tight in nervousness. I will get to experience wearing a swimsuit in public without feeling ashamed of my body.

“Go, baby girl. Show them what you got!” Simeon cheered then, slapped my a ss which made me jump in surprised.

“Stop!” I laughed when he slapped it again. “There’s a lot of people, baby. I think I’ll just sunbathe, too. I suddenly don’t want to show some skin.”

“Baby...” He sighed deeply. “Be confident, love. You’re perfectly fine! And with this big a ss, you’ll probably be the hottest person in here, in my eyes, you are, baby.”

My eyes landed on him. “You and your sweet mouth again...”
