Azalea is keep tossing and turning on her bed. She can't believe she just say those words to him and she can this be witty talking to him. She's very comfortable with him now like she can say anything and he won't mind at all. She always thought he's a jerk but now she feels like she sees him in a different light.
"I hope we can still be like this for ten years". And slowly she fell asleep.
Jack is still smiling while playing the scenes that happened today with him and Azalea. He never felt so happy and calm like this in his whole life. He is starting to think that maybe she can be a source of happiness for him. Her innocence and wittiness at the same time is like a breath of fresh air and he is planning to keep it whatever it cost.
Few minutes later Jack fell asleep and is now in a vivid dream. He saw himself walking in a park. He looked around and saw a little boy he is probably twelve by the look of his height. His gazed followed him and saw he was walking straight to a crying little girl. The little girl is wearing a cute hat and she is wiping her tears that falls like a diamond. She looks like a cute Japanese porcelain doll and her cheeks and lips are so red because of crying.
"Why are you crying?". He heard the boy asked the little girl.
"I don't have a friend". The little girl replied while sobbing.
"But why?".
"Because I look like a monster".
"Who said that?". An angry tone can be sense in him.
"The kids in the school, they said no one will going to like me or even marry me because I'm a freak". And her tears fall more like a rain.
"Stop crying, don't let them push you down, you are far more beautiful than any of them". He patted her head like a kitten. "How would you like me to be your future husband?". And he smiled at her like a prince.
"Will you?". Her eyes are wide open in shocked. "You will marry me when I grow up?". She looks very happy and her eyes are sparkling like diamonds.
"I will tell my mom and my grandfather". And she run as fast as she could.
The little boy was left in the park smiling.
Jack was awakened by the sound of his alarm clock. He is rubbing his head. "What was that?". He tried to recall the dream he had but he only see fragments of it.
He stretched his arms and body and head to the bathroom. He is feeling good this morning and he's looking forward to see his little wife. After a shower he dressed up and went straight to the dining room. He saw Azalea wearing a rip tight jeans and a baby tee's that hugs all her right curves.
"Good morning!". She greeted him first.
"Morning". Jack is trying to calm his unbehaving heart while greeting her. "Are you going somewhere?". He ask her casually.
"Mmmm". She answered him with a mumble she already put a meat in her mouth before she sits down. "I need to follow up the work of a pimp car in our shop, it will be needed in the exhibition by my client next week". She explained after Swallowing the food in her mouth.
"Are you coming home late?".
"Not sure why?".
"Nothing really, I just thought you would like to eat somewhere, I know a good restaurant that serves native delicacies from different country". He just simply said this like an ordinary food outlet. But the truth is he is trying to lure his glutton wife on a date.
"Really!....wow I love to try that!". Her eyes are glowing when she heard about food." Will you treat me then?". Her eyes looks like they were pleading.
Jack can't almost hold his grin, his wife's reaction makes him happy that day. "Sure!". 'God your so cute.' he wants to add this thoughts but just held it in.
"Yes!". She even clap like a seal. "Jack is going to treat me... Jack is going to treat me". Azalea started singing like a kid and waving her hand in the air.
Jack was so amused with her, he burst into laughter and unintentionally patted her head. Azalea stop and look at him she smiled and curve her hand to a fist and put it in both side of her face. herH palm side is facing down like a cat then she gently scratch her face. She is copying a cat rubbing its face with a paw then blink her eyes fast that made her eye lashes looks like a butterfly wings.
Jack couldn't help but laugh out loud genuinely. It echoed through the whole dining room and all the servants was so surprised. They never heard him laugh so hard before. They also can't help theirselves and smiles broke down in everyone's faces.
"Do I look like a cute kitten?". She ask him in her very small voice and copy the sounds of the little kitten.
Jack is almost teary eyed because of laughing. He looked at her with a wide bright smile in his gorgeous face. "Yes you are". And he softly pinch her chin and run his index finger in her blushing red cheek.
He noticed she doesn't wear any make-up and her cheeks are naturally pinkish so thus her lips. Her skin is very soft and almost as white as a snow. How would he love to see the whole being of her without this clothes.
"What is it?". She breaks his deep thoughts.
"Ahhmmm, did you dye your hair". He can't tell her what's really going on inside his mind it's too perverted even to him.
"Ah, this hair." She holds it in front of her. "Nope, I was born with it". She saw his brows knitted. "I have a VITILIGO and this is the only affected part. When I was born my mom thought I was an ALBINO child because I was purely white but when I was growing up the hair on the back of my head turns black and this is the only white one left. So they seek for another specialist and found out that I only have a slight vitiligo". Then she smiled at him.
"Did you ever got bullied because of your indifference?". He was curious but he feels like he knows the answer already.
Azalea stops for a while. 'How can he tell?' she thought. "Yup, kids back then thought I was a monster, they were so afraid of my eyes and my white hair. Good thing people nowadays don't care anymore how freak I am, sometimes I just tell them I'm just wearing a contact lens when they ask about my eyes".
Jack suddenly felt a deja vu. 'She was called a monster back then... where did I hear that words before?". He is trying to remember something, something that was buried in his memories a long time ago.
Azalea's phone ring. She checked the caller ID before answering it."I'm coming". That's the only word she said after listening to her caller.
"Need to run". As she grabs her big cardigan and eye glasses.
"Drink your milk first". He noticed that he is the only one with a coffee and she had a glass of milk beside her but haven't touch yet.
She took the glass of milk and raise it like it was a glass of beer and drink it all the way down then raise it up her head empty.
Jack chuckles and patted her head again and she replied with a "MEOW" sound like a cat then stick her tongue and run out the dining room.
'One day I will catch that tasty tongue of yours with mine.' he swear to himself.
VITILIGO is a rare skin condition where a person's skin have like white patches on them.
