Jack walk straight to the living room and watched Azalea's work.
"I'm just starting." she sits down on the floor and took a rubix cubes in each hands and flip it, then arrange each cubes after combining the colors she needs.
Jack enjoys the fast flipping of the cubes in his wifes hands. She's very fast at glancing and flipping and she's very engrossed in what she's doing. But he notice that her long hair is brushing on the floor and she also keeps on flipping it too away from the other rubix cube on the floor.
He rose from his seat and walk over to the kitchen. After a couple of minutes he returned and sit behind Azalea. "Don't move." He said to her, he felt she trembled.
She jolted from Jack's action. She didn't notice him left from his seat and walk behind her. Her full focus is in her project.
"I'm sorry, did I scare you?". His voice was low and apologetic. He waits until she response and was glad when he sees her shake her head then he continue on what he wants to do.
Jack gathered Azalea's hair and put it up in a bun then put a hair clamp on it but because her hair is too thick and the clamp is not big enough it became a messy look. "Hhmmm, I think the clamp is too small for your hair."
"Oh, it's okay, but where did you get this?". She's also trying to put all of her loose hair on it but cant really hold it.
"I ask Butler Chan." He answered and he stand up and went back to the grand sofa.
As he sits back he looked at his little wife. He was astonished to see a big difference in her looks when her hair was all loose and when in a bun, she became more alluring in a messy bun. The loose strands of her hair cascading down in every part of her face and neck is screaming sexiness. He was in agape.
"Where did you learn about hair clamps, from your girlfriend?" She wants to tease him while grinning.
"My mom. Sue's hair is very short.".He answered her in a serious tone.
"OH!". A hint of sadness was drawn into her face. She remembered her own mother.
"She also have a very long hair, but I think yours is much longer." He was reluctant in telling her about his mother, he can saw a hint of sadness in her and he don't want that to stay in her eyes.
"Who's portrait are you going to do?". He's trying to change the topic.
"Ah, my dad." She tried to make the conversation alive again. "This is for his coming birthday his turning fifty soon." And she smiled brightly.
Jack felt relieved. She can change her emotion quickly. That means she don't really hold grudges for a long time.
"Do you like rubix cubes?" Jack is fishing some information.
"Not really, why you ask?".
"Ahmm, because you use it as a tool for a gift."
"Ah!". She didn't thought about it before. "Your good." she smiled with admiration.
'Am I?... I hope your impress.' He's having a hopeful thoughts now.
The servants came and told them that the dinner is served.
"Let's go eat dinner." Jack is hoping she will say yes.
Azalea look at him first. "Are you sure, you want to dine with me?" She's being skeptical.
"Of course, unless you don't want to." He got a little disappointed. 'She's still probably angry at me.' he's contemplating.
"I just still remembered the time when you said you don't like my company." She honestly said to him.
Jack was surprised with her honesty. He froze and don't know how to mend that incident. "I'm sorry about that, I was in the wrong. I shouldn't vent my anger towards you that time.". It was a sincere apology.
"So, is it okay for you to eat with me from now on?". She is being skeptical again.
Jack was so dumbfounded with her question. He thought she'll make him suffer for what he did to her back then. "Of course it is okay anytime or anywhere you want to eat you can count me in." And he gave her his warmest smile.
"Really!...." She was overwhelmed to hear what he just said. "Is that a promise?".
"Yeah!".
"Then we need to do a pinky swear."
"What?" He have no idea what she's saying.
"Give me your hand." She opened her hands to accept his.
Jack gave his right hand to her, he wants to know what is a pinky swear she was talking about.
Azalea took his hand and curved it into a fist then she hook her pinky to his. "A pinky swear." She is starting to say a chant while shaking their hands. "We swear that we will always eat food together anytime or anywhere we want to and if someone break a promised he or she will swallow a thousand needles."
Hearing the words swallowing a thousand needles he reacted. "Whoa!....don't you think that's too much."
"Why are you afraid?". She's teasing him.
"That's a lot of needles to be swallowed." He looked anxious with wide eyes open.
Azalea giggles a lot, she was so amused on his reaction and she can't help herself laugh at him.
Jack was astonished by Azalea's laughter, her eyes squint a little, her long thick lashes almost hide her beautiful eyes. But even they are in hiding a shower of sparkling diamonds emitted in them and her stunning face brightens the whole room. He wish he could see her like this everyday.
"Dont worry I'll swallow half for you, but please don't intentionally kill me, hihihihi." she giggles like a child.
"I wont let anyone harm you." Jack became serious when saying this.
Azaleas stomach grumbled that's why she didn't hear what Jack said. "Oooppppss!!!.... I think I'm hungry. Can we eat now?".
"As you wish." and both of them rose from where they were seated and head to the dining room.
While walking Azalea suddenly turn and ask Jack about something. She look worried.
"Is it okay if I left my cubes in the living room for a while?... my frame hasn't delivered yet." Although she is hesitant to ask because she's been asking for too much now she needs to know his opinion.
"That's fine, I'll tell them not to touch anything so you won't have to do it all over again."
"Really!" She was delighted to hear him. "thank you, thank you, thank you so much." And because she was overjoyed she hug him without thinking. Then head to the dining room while skipping.
Jack was frozen stiff. He was hug by his wife. That was his brain telling him. He was overjoyed by her actions and it made him smile wholeheartedly.
