I instantly covered his lips with my hand and squeezed his arm tightly. It’s like if we’re kids having fun and messing around. He laughed while my hand was still covering his lips, but as he licked my palm, I swiftly withdrew it. I felt as if I had been burned as soon as I removed my hand.
Randle leaped on us and laughed at the same time. I locked my gaze on Randall, hoping that his words might not find their way into Randle’s head because of the way he talks. Before I stood up, I stroked Randle’s brow. I had already ordered the garments, and they will come in 1-2 hours. Because the business employs a personal courier, I don’t have to wait long for my products to arrive.
I sat Randle on Randall’s lap to get up because I needed to take a shower. They merely looked at me as I entered the restroom, taking the towel first, so I could wipe myself afterward. My heart appeared to skip a beat as I entered the bathroom, and the butterflies never stopped tickling me.
I rapidly drenched in the water from the shower after entering and putting the towel on the handle. Because I was feeling hot, I let it run all over my body. It’s humiliating that I’m experiencing something temptation while standing next to my son. I’m not even scared to death.
“Winter.”
I turned off the shower because of the knock on the door. I can’t hear the voice well. When it didn’t knock again, I called back. I grabbed the towel, and it was almost slippery as I walked.
I think I’ve been in the bathroom for almost an hour and taking a shower because the heat I’m feeling won’t subside and dissipate. Not only that, but I think I still have to consume all the water that this house has before it can be removed. It was also a while before I wipe myself because I felt with every caress I had on my body that something inside me would live.
“Why?” While undressing and wiping my hair, I asked why someone was calling me. There was still no answer, so I opened the door to the person who was outside.
I saw Randall knocking again but stopped because of my sudden opening. I frowned, but he just showed me the clothes I ordered. It appears that its delivery has been speeded up. He hung it in the air, even the underwear that I had simply chosen earlier.
I don’t believe he’ll stop mocking me until much later. So, I scooped up my clothing and banged the door shut. Ugh! Randall’s taunting of me is driving me insane. Randle seemed to have gone downstairs since I didn’t see him when I glanced out the door.
I just hurriedly dressed, so we could go straight away. I didn’t see him when I came out, so I knew he was below. The outcome I want – the aesthetic I desired – was achieved.
Downstairs, I noticed Randall conversing with Turstin while Ava was speaking with her daughter and Randle. Randall stared at me quickly, then murmured something to Turstin before leaving Turstin. He approached me right away and extended his hand. My lips quickly curved into a grin. During these circumstances, I have no desire but not to end this day. I instantly clasped his hand in mine and accepted his offer.
“Let’s go?” He invited me, and I gently agreed.
I looked at where Ava and the children were. I saw the glances of smiles on her and I knew she was happy too because I was happy. Likewise, I never thought I would reach this level of happiness. When I have no question in my brain. There is no why and how.
“Randle, let’s go.” Holding hands, we called Randle.
The three of us got out and got in his car. I even looked around because I was afraid someone might see us. I let Randall first, then Randle and I followed. I was in the front seat while Randle was in the back and the seatbelt was tight.
We arrived at the park, which was crowded. I still plan to avoid many people so that no one will know Randall, in the end, he still takes us to a lot of people. I stopped him from coming here, but he still insisted, so I did nothing.
We couldn’t go to the market because we lost it in our mind because of what we talked about. In the end, we’ll just dig in Randall’s cooked bento boxes. I don’t eat that much and Randle doesn’t eat that much either, so I think that’s enough for us.
He pulled out a cloth and placed it on the relatively unoccupied part. Fortunately, there is a part where people don’t go through much. He took us where it is. We also put the food we brought, and he also brought a book. That was exactly in the strong wind. Beautiful as a relaxing place. Randle immediately ran to the children who were also playing, even though he didn’t know them. I was just smiling as I watched him when Randall suddenly lay down on my lap holding a book.
“Do you think we would have lasted longer if we had explored something else like this? Not just my constant doubt? If I had asked you those times about the thing I doubt, we would be fine and not end up like this!” I was playing with his hair when I said that. Looking at Randle as the wind also blew away my every utterance of the word.
“What do you mean by “like this “?” His face is now covered by the book. Then he began to talk. We’re OK; every “like this” you say is fine with me as long as you’re present for every “like this” you remark. If there’s one thing I regret, it’s that I’ve always let you down… therefore it appears that I might inflict further harm on you again.”
I didn’t hear his final words because Randle was sprinting at us. He had barely been playing for a few minutes when his back became wet. He sat down next to his father. I messed with both of their hair. I didn’t say anything about what he told me. I didn’t realize that everything that was going well and not so well with us was absolutely fine with him since I was a part of it.
“Ice cream! Sorbets!” The ice cream vendor’s truck screamed as we lay down. At once, we turned there.
“Randle!”
Randle immediately stood up and ran there. He thought maybe that ice cream was free because we were in the park. Randall was about to stand up, but I stopped him.
“I will go with him. When something like this happens, I explain to him the wrong thing that he interpreted.” I pinched Randall’s nose. I stood up, and his head drop fell on the cloth.
He would have stood up again, but I pointed at him as if threatening him not to stand. He sighed then pouted as if he was very disappointed. I laughed at his reaction. I followed Randle, hid my face in the sun, making my hands as if an umbrella. I saw him waiting to be given ice cream.
I crouched and bowed to him. Furthermore, I pat him on the back. He was irritated to have to confront me since the salesperson was still refusing to give him ice cream. I smiled at the man, as though apologizing, as he scratched his hairnet.
“You know, Randle, not everything is free. Like this ice cream, you have to have money to make it yours.” I stood up, then paid the man. I borrowed cash from Ava because it was difficult to leave without carrying any money. After I paid, I sat down in front of him again. “And you shouldn’t suddenly run without letting us know. What if something bad happens to you? ”
His eyes became gentle, and his face became apologetic. I messed up his hair to show I wasn’t angry, and I just wanted him to learn to be sorry for what he was doing, and he should have thought first.
“Miss.” The one who scooped the ice cream called me.
Normally, I’d take it to the salesperson, but it was abruptly bumped as if it had been tossed aside. My pupils dilated. Instead of staring at that individual, I turned to Randle, who was now screaming aloud because someone had thrown away his ice cream. I’d want to return my attention to the person who appears to have done it on purpose. However, I was more concerned with Randle.
“Shhh. We’ll buy it again.” I brushed away his tears and returned my gaze to the ice cream machine. The salesman began scooping ice cream even before I said anything. Randle was still unsatisfied, so I turned to the person who had done what had caused the ice cream to be thrown away.
Charlotte’s glaring eyes were the first I saw. She was wearing a purple dress and holding a purse. She was gasping for breath while she was furious. How did she follow us? I didn’t show that I was surprised when she arrived, but it seemed that this woman was already engulfed in anger when she started shouting. Everyone was already looking at us, so I didn’t even wait for the ice cream and was ready to leave there.
I grabbed Randle and began to go, but she yanked my hair tightly. It felt like I was burning my hair and ripping out all of my hair, even the roots. I close my eyes responding to the intense tension of her engagement with me. I tripped because she pushed me. I rolled in the dirty ground while fastening and protecting Randle’s head because I was terrified it might collide with a rock.
“MISTRESS! YOU STOLE MY Fiancé! GET YOUR OWN!” As she kicks my legs with her heel, she shouts those words. My head was just hidden in Randle’s body because of the mixed rumor.
“GARBAGE! I WILL KILL- AHH HH!”
With the loudness of her scream, I looked at her. I saw the impoverished Randall. Charlotte, on the other hand, was pushed back when Randall pushed her again. Charlotte held her cheek. I stood up suddenly when Randall strangled Charlotte. I also quickly stand Randle, who still didn’t stop sobbing. Charlotte’s right hand that had been holding her cheek was now holding Randall’s hand that was choking her. The air was blocking her throat, but no one tried to approach the two of them.
I immediately ran to Randall and hugged him from behind. But even if I did that, he still wouldn’t let go of Charlotte. This is the first time I have seen him so angry. It’s as if he can kill a person.
“R-rand … all …” Charlotte couldn’t continue what she was saying because she was choking.
“Daddy! Stop … !! ” The crying Randle hugged Randall’s knee. The two of us hugged him. I was from behind him while Randle was at his feet.
Randall looked at his feet and looked back at Charlotte.
“Try to follow through on what you tell my wife. Maybe I’ll murder you right now. Right here, in this spot.” He spoke sharply and strongly. Even I; couldn’t say much to what he said. Thereafter, he talks again with deep. “I can kill anyone who disrespects my wife. Keep it in mind, Charlotte. If you’re in the position of these two, you’re not yet on the ground she’s treading on.”
