[SKYLINE PLAZA: ZOREN’s]
"Hey, Renren," Penny called, staring at the night sky while lying flat on the glass. Lying beside her was Zoren, with Renny and Chunchun around them as well.
"Hmm?" he humd.
"Do you believe in the spiritual significance of the star alignnts?"
Zoren humd another long tune, staring at the sky and the stars filling it like diamonds. "No."
"Why not?"
"I don’t know," he said. "I feel like they were just created so people could have sothing else to turn to at tis of uncertainty. Do you?"
"Hmm?" Penny smacked her lips. "Nope."
"Why is that?"
"I just don’t," she shrugged. "Though I admire the people who’ve gone to great lengths to connect the dots and create an image of sothing, so they could call it by sothing."
Zoren let out a short chuckle, as he wasn’t a big fan of such things. "Why were you suddenly curious?" he asked.
"Well, I just realized sothing recently."
"Would you mind sharing this realization?"
"That human curiosity will push us to learn sothing that we can’t understand. No matter how trivial it may appear or how irrelevant it is." Penny slowly turned her head to him, watching him look back at her. "I thought of it because I’m starting to get curious as well."
A subtle smile turned up on her face. "I’m getting curious about how I got reborn and why I had to live for the second ti. The second part is sothing I already answered, though."
"Oh?" Zoren rolled onto his side, propping his knuckles on his temple, eyes on her. "Why do you think you had to live for the second ti?"
"You."
His brows rose as he repeated, "?"
"Mhm." Penny nodded, giggling. "I think I was able to live again with these mories because... my past life reminds of the bitterness and pain, so I can cherish and appreciate everything in this life. That includes every second with you."
"..." Zoren blinked, staring at his wife blankly.
Seeing his stunned reaction, another playful giggle escaped her as she whispered with mischief, "That’s my way of telling you those three magic but sadly banned words."
I love you.
"First Brother told to be creative. I don’t like how he said it, to be honest. It challenges my creative side," she added with a nonchalant shrug. "So, I’m practicing. That way, I can express my heart without making you faint."
"..." Still, Zoren didn’t react.
When several seconds passed and he was just staring, Penny furrowed her brows. "Renren, don’t tell even that is banned..." The rest of her words rolled back into her throat as he suddenly lowered his head, his lips sealing hers.
This ti, it was Penny’s turn to say, "..."
Slowly, Zoren drew his head back until their faces were a palm’s length away. "Should we go on a trip?"
"Huh?"
"First Brother is taking his seat tomorrow, and I’m planning to finish everything I can this week, so I can take so ti off and focus on you, , us."
"Wow." Penny blinked in awe. "You’re really leaving First Brother in his second week in your company?"
"Was that a wrong call?"
"No, no, I an, yes!"
"And why is that?"
"Well, Renren, First Brother at family dinners is bad. But at work? God... he’s going to shred William Pierson."
"I should take the leave tomorrow, then." He smiled until his eyes crinkled. "I’m certain Dean would be very happy for the next year."
"..." Penny’s mouth parted in shock, not knowing what shocked her the most.
"Why?" he asked. "Did that surprise you?"
"No, no. I an, I’m not quite sure if I’m shocked at how eager you are to hear that William Pierson would be shredded, or the fact that I’m still shocked despite knowing William Pierson and that jackass Jonathan are both a waste of oxygen and deserve the hate."
Zoren chuckled helplessly, only to lower his head again to leave a soft peck on her lips. He drew his head back a little, only to kiss her once more, as if two tis weren’t enough.
"Renren, about this trip..."
*smooch*
"I an..."
*smooch*
"Re —"
*smooch*
"..." For a while, Penny shut her mouth and lay there like a dead tuna while her husband showered her with kisses. Soon after, as Zoren was giving her sweet pecks, Renny suddenly ca over and licked her face.
Her face contorted when Zoren casually pushed Renny’s face away, saying, "Not your turn," and then continued kissing every inch of her face.
Zoren kept his kisses short and sweet until his breath started to feel hot. His kisses also slowly beca sensual every ti, as his lips slowly traveled down from her cheek, jaw, chin, and then the upper part of the side of her neck.
"Wait, the damn minute..." Penny froze, clasping his shoulder on instinct. "Uh, Renren?"
"No one’s here," he breathed out, planting another seductive kiss on the side of her head. His body slowly rolled over to her until he was almost on top of her. "I sent everyone to the other side. Told them they might see sothing they could never unsee, even if Renren chewed their eyeballs."
’Wow, when did he do that?’ she thought, briefly distracted as it seed her husband was getting more and more intense. "Wait, did you just tell them my Blacky chews people’s eyes?!"
Penny was so in disbelief that she pushed him, creating a short distance between their bodies. "Renren, how could you influence my baby like that?! Can’t you see?! Blacky is such a good boy!"
Zoren glanced at Renny, who seed to be frowning at him. ’He chews people’s legs, though.’
"You should apologize to him!" she raised a finger between them. "You get — oh, look! It’s a teor shower! Wow!"
Her eyes quickly twinkled, mirroring the beautiful teor shower in the sky. Hearing this, Zoren willingly put off his agenda and lay beside her.
"Wow... it’s so beautiful," she whispered, making him look in her direction. "Is this why you asked to stay here? You knew there’s a teor shower tonight?"
Zoren smiled, having almost forgotten that was the first plan. The second one was having sex during the teor shower. But oh well. He stared at her side profile, savoring the beautiful look on her face as she marveled at the beauty of nature.
"I always wanted to be a star before," she shared happily. "I almost forgot about that since I’ve been so busy."
Zoren arched a brow, lying on his side again as he propped his knuckle on his temple. "Is getting you one okay?"
"Huh?"
"I’d get you one."
"Haha. Sure." Penny chuckled, not paying much attention to it, as she deed it one of those corny lines.
What she didn’t know was that Zoren was dead serious. He slowly glanced up at the night sky and smirked, pleased that he seed to have figured out what he should get his wife next.
