Chapter 15

• “You begged me to unbuckle your belt. Why? Are you imagining something else?”
• When Adira asked this while she was in front of him and on her knees, Chadwick stood there like an unmovable tree. He wanted to blame her that his mind only went on worst way because she’s acting weird. Yet the words stuck inside his throat, they can’t just go out of his lips.
• Chadwick gulped hard, as if eating a thousand of pebbles. Without saying anything, he looked at the woman in front and watched her holds the belt with her delicate fingers.
• “It is because,” Adira’s whisper words carefully slipped from her lips. “It will be hard to remove your belt while standing. I am not going to eat you, so relax.”
• Eat.
• That’s right.
• That is what Chadwick imagined. Her eating him. His what?
• With widened eyes and reddened cheeks, he looked back at her who’s currently removing his belt. That made his stomach even more painful, he thinks he’ll explode.
• “Okay. I finished unbuckling your belt ho…”
• Pooooooooop!
• Chadwick did explode… but in another embarrassing way.
• Adira slowly looked up and met the gaze of the man who suddenly farted. Since she’s on the floor, the rank and stinky odor reached into her nose faster than him.
• The smell is so unpleasant, disgusting and offensive that will make anyone feel so nauseated, even the owner. It is as if the garbage had not been taken out for days.
• “Wow,” Adira murmured before she covered her nose.
• The embarrassed man, who wanted to find a hole where he can bury himself, ran away and went inside the comfort room. There, he found another hole; a hole where he could drop his bombs.
• Adira looked at the closed door of the comfort room.
• She did plan of seducing Chadwick, even in that situation, but it ended so funny.
• “Gosh. I am about to cry,” Adira said, laughing while wiping the tears at the corner of her eyes.
• It is so funny she shed tears while laughing so hard. The awful smell also had its part in making her cry, though.
• Meanwhile, inside the comfort room where Chadwick is sitting on the throne, he was covering his face while taking a dump and groaning.
• He’s so damn mad for embarrassing himself!
• Chadwick is sure Adira would tease him forever.
• ‘Forever?’
• Since when did Chadwick think of being with her forever?
• He put his hands down and wondered.
• They just married out of business convenience. Soon, there is a possibility that they might separate from each other. Isn’t that the reason why Chadwick tried his best not to fall for her temptation?
• ‘Did I not?’
• Speaking of his temptation, he thought of the thing Adira did to him before.
• When she was unbuckling his belt, he imagined lewd scenarios inside his head.
• “Oh god,” Chadwick fetched a sigh.
• He is so afraid that he is already falling at the devil’s trap. No matter how his beliefs are so firm, a man is a man.
• He loves Isa. He still does.
• Just being a married man while harboring these feelings for another woman and keeping her around as a friend, makes him so guilty. What’s more about thinking perverted things with his wife?
• ‘It is because I stayed so long with a pervert woman,’ he blamed Adira, again.
• Whenever he’s in this state, ever since that night when Adira ran to the hospital with a crying face, Chadwick blamed her for feeling weird.
• He started to wonder what she was thinking, when he did not bother even asking about his wife’s whereabouts before.
• Anyway, looking around, Chadwick realized that thinking about this when he is inside the comfort room and taking a dump, isn’t that cool.
• So, he finished dumping and reached for the tissue beside him. However, he only found an empty tissue roll.
• “Oh? There’s no more tissue,” he murmured.
• Another problem arises.
• He can flush the toilet, but he cannot go just like that without wiping his butt. It’s not like he can wait here all night and wait for the tissue to come by itself.
• There is only one solution. And it is to call his wife.
• Chadwick’s mouth opened, “A…”
• He tried to call her name.
• “A…”
• But his mouth automatically closed before he could complete her name. That repeated almost ten times, until he gave up on asking for help.
• Sobbing without tears, Chadwick bit his lower lip and hanged his head low in sorrow.
• Farting is enough.
• He can’t add more embarrassing situation that will give her reason to tease him.
• Losing hope, Chadwick’s eyes accidentally saw the magazine near the sink.
• ‘Tissue is paper,’ Chadwick said to himself. ‘And magazine is also a paper,’ he added.
• Desperate not to ask for Adira’s help anymore, Chadwick grabbed the magazine and pierced one page. He looked at the page while his hand trembled.
• “You are the only one who can save me now,” he whispered.
• A moment later, Chadwick confidently went out of the comfort room. As soon as he came out, he saw Adira waiting outside.
• Her eyes widened as she stared at him.
• “How?” she murmured.
• Grinning in triumph, Chadwick replied, “What?”
• “I am just shocked that you came out.”
• “What do you mean? Do I need to stay inside forever?”
• “I mean…” she mumbled, then sneered. “There is no toilet paper inside. How the hell did you wipe your butt?”
• This time, it was Chadwick who had his eyes wide open.
• Adira knows!
• Adira already knows that there’s no toilet paper inside the comfort room!
• “Y-You already know about that?!” Chadwick shouted, blushing.
• His wife nodded her head. “I do.”
• “Then why didn’t you say so?! You did it on purpose! Right?!”
• He accused her again.
• “I will always be a villain in your eyes. Wow.”
• When Adira replied like that, Chadwick’s lips pursed in line. He is accusing her again.
• “I know how much you hate me,” Adira said. “But it is kinda rude to always look at me as if I am the most evil villain that exist.”
• Bit by bit, Chadwick avoided her gaze. He felt guilty all of a sudden.
• His wife helped him unbuckling his belt. After he did, he dashed inside the comfort room; on which, did not give Adira the time to warn him.
• However, looking back at Adira’s schemes before, she really seems so capable of doing that on purpose.
• “Look. I even prepared a tissue for you in case you ask me for help,” Adira broke the long silent, and then showed the tissue in her hand.
• Chadwick stared at the tissue, which gave him the courage to open his mouth and apologize.
• “Sorry,” he said.
• “Hmmm?”
• “I am so sorry,” he repeated.
• “For what?”
• Chadwick grumbled and stomped his feet once, as if he’s a cute kid who couldn’t say sorry in nice way.
• “I don’t know,” he said with little groan in the end of his sentence. Next, a mellow and shy voice followed, “But it seems I really need to say it.”
• “Sorry, huh,” Adira repeated the words that her husband told to her. She looked back at him and said, “Sorry is for the things that you accidentally do. Not for the things that you always do.”
• Chadwick tilted his head and met her gaze again.
• Didn’t he also apologize many times before because he always misunderstands her?
• “Fortunately, I’m used to it,” Adira even added.
• She is so used to Chadwick blaming her, cursing her, pushing her away and accusing her that she does not see the worth of getting an apology. That what it shows to Chadwick. And he hates that. He really hates it.
• Adira turned around, planning to go back to her room. She thinks it’s unnecessary for her to seduce him when things become awkward between them.
• Grrrrrrrllll.
• But she changed her mind.
• Adira turned around and looked at the man who had his stomach grumbled just now.
• How come his stomach roared so loudly at this moment? It was as if the heaven gave them a chance to loosen the strain atmosphere.
• On the other side, Chadwick held his tummy while being so angry of himself. He doesn’t know what’s wrong with him right now, that he keeps on showing embarrassing things to his wife.
• If today Friday the 13th?
• No. Today is 13th of May, and it is Thursday.
• “You haven’t eat anything,” Adira said, walking back. “I’ll cook you a dinner.”
• May 13 of Thursday. Surely, Chadwick won’t forget the day that his wife will cook for him for the first time.
