Tony glanced at her with a faint smile. “Now you remember about it.”
Myra had forgotten all about Meow after their conflict today. Thus, she squirmed with embarrassment. Meanwhile, he was already heading out the door. “Relax; Mrs. Frye has already let it out into the garden outside. You don’t need to worry about it.”
Upon hearing that, she finally felt relieved.
Tony soon returned with a bag in his hands. That bag seemed rather familiar for some reason, but Myra could not place where she had seen it before.
His figure was tall and broad. He had gone for a smoke when he went outside and returned with a cigarette casually held between his fingers. He was still wearing the white shirt and black pants that he wore during the day. Although he had his sleeves rolled up in a casual, at-home look, he still looked extremely handsome. She watched him walking over. Looking into his slightly narrowed eyes, she felt her heart rate increasing and hurriedly shifted her gaze away to look at the TV in front of her. “You should lower the volume in case we disturb the others upstairs.
He seemed amused, and he nodded with a straight face. “Okay.”
While putting in the DVD, he placed the cigarette between his thin lips and stood with his side profile to her. Within the curling smoke, she felt as if she couldn’t take her eyes off his handsome face. She didn’t even notice that she subconsciously gulped.
Soon, the man finished setting up the DVD and walked over to her. Although the sofa was very spacious, she still shifted to make space next to her. However, he immediately sat down next to her and pulled her into his arms. Breathing in the pleasant scent on his body, she suddenly felt a sense of security washing over her. What is there to fight about? Can’t we just be with each other peacefully?
Tony turned the volume of the TV down until it was very soft. When the DVD started playing, they saw a blond and blue-eyed couple arguing. Then, the female tried to leave in tears. After that, the man hurriedly chased after her and enveloped her in his embrace. Coaxing and cajoling, he brought her back home.
“Why are there no subtitles?” Myra murmured. Although the lack of subtitles was not a problem for either of them, she couldn’t help finding it strange.
Meanwhile, his hand wrapped around her waist and pulled her even closer into his arms.
“It’s probably a low-quality DVD.” His voice sounded a little hoarse beside her ears. His hand was very hot, making her waist shiver slightly under his touch. Even so, she did not make him move it away.
Soon after, the scene on the TV left her feeling flabbergasted. After the man coaxed the woman to go back home, they shared some sweet words with each other. At some point, they began kissing each other…
She thought to herself, Maybe all European and American horror movies are like this. Never mind; it will be over after this. Contrary to her expectations, there was no end in sight despite enduring the torture for several more minutes. She tightly gripped the white shirt of the man sitting next to her, bit her lip, and lifted her head to look at him. “Didn’t you say that it’s a horror movie?”
His eyes were dark with passion. In a soft but hoarse voice, he said, “The pictures printed on the covers were of horror movies.”
His hand slowly moved upward. Seeing her shy but lucid eyes, he suddenly stopped moving his hands. He kissed her tender lips and said to her in a low voice, “I’ll change to another one.”
She quickly replied, “Okay.”
He reluctantly let go of her and strode over to the TV. Taking out the DVD they were watching just now, he placed another DVD with ‘The Ring’ written on it into the player. This time, he had his back to her. Therefore, she failed to see the faint laughter that flashed across his eyes that were dark with desire.
He soon walked back to her again. This time, he pulled her directly into his arms. She struggled against him at first, but he softly scolded her, “Stop making a fuss. The movie is about to start.”
Her ears were slightly red. She couldn’t help feeling embarrassed when sitting on his lap in this position. What if somebody comes downstairs…
“Nobody is going to come downstairs. Trust me. Besides, we’re a couple. There’s nothing wrong with this even if they saw us.”
She didn’t know if he had managed to brainwash her or what, but she stopped struggling against him.
Meanwhile, the opening credits soon ended and the movie began… Myra initially wanted to relax and watch a movie. However, she felt that something was amiss as soon as the movie started… For a moment, she didn’t know what to say. Looking down, she looked at the bag that contained the DVDs. That bag… “Isn’t that… from the box Estelle gave to me?”
“Hmm… Is there a problem?” Tony widened his eyes innocently, but his eyes were swirling with emotions as he stared straight into her eyes.
Looking at him pretending to look innocent, she felt rather helpless. “Tony… you definitely did it on purpose…” How could anything in that box be a true horror movie?! Estelle, that little jinx! And Tony too! Why is he carrying this around in his car all the time?!
He pursed his thin lips. “Myra, that’s a false accusation…” His deep and low voice was woven with desire at the moment.
At that moment, a sudden scream rang out from the TV. She glanced in the direction of the sound. Then, she felt her body losing its balance as he picked her up in a princess carry and headed upstairs.
“Wait—” Her face was blushing so furiously that she could fry an egg from the heat. Biting her lip hard, she did not dare to look at the movie that was still playing in the living room. “Turn that off! Turn that off!” If anybody goes downstairs, they’ll see it!
He narrowed his sharp eyes and held her body even closer to him. “It’ll finish soon.”
“But, that stuff is still downstairs!” It was a matter of principle. She couldn’t ignore it. Thus, she pinched the man’s waist fiercely. “Hurry up and tidy those up before you come upstairs! If you don’t, I’ll be sleeping in the guest room tonight!”
Tony studied Myra’s persistent eyes that were glaring fixedly at him. Although his expression was sour, he placed her on the bed and went back to the living room.
After packing up the DVDs, Tony was about to bring them upstairs when the ringing of a phone sounded from somewhere by the sofa. It was coming from a woman’s bag—it was Myra’s bag.
