Awkward

People say that love is the most complicated thing in the world. It sounds easy and it happens easily as well. There is no one in the world who hasn't been touched by this feeling called love. Its form might be different but there is love everywhere. The complications arise only because we, the humans, tend to overthink about it. We think that the intelligence of the brain can be applied to the matters of the heart as well, that is why love gets its complications from.

In short, love isn't the most complicated feeling in the world. Awkwardness is. It really means causing or feeling uneasy embarrassment or inconvenience. It is exactly what Wang Yong and Xin Qian were feeling. Awkward.

The rest of the drive back home went uneventfully and the situation was as awkward as they were still under the daze of an emotional high. They had been holding hands all this time but the moment they entered the apartment the equation changed. The atmosphere around them suddenly became too hot to handle.

Xin Qian let go of Wang Yong's hand the moment they were inside the apartment. She closed the door and moved away from Wang Yong, not wanting to face him after what happened in the car. She didn't have the courage to do so as every time she looked at Wang Yong she was reminded of their heated kiss on the backseat of the car, plus he had called her his miracle. Her poor heart couldn't handle it all together. Ah! She was going insane thinking about the kiss.

Xin Qian slid open the door to the walk-in closet and took out the most conservative nightdress that she had, a full-sleeved shirt and full-length pyjama bottoms. "I am going to take a shower." was all she said before hurrying towards the washroom, completely unaware of the effect that her words had on Wang Yong.

The word "shower" kept ringing in Wang Yong's ears. Indecent images filled his mind and for once he was thankful for his condition, for being temporarily paralytic from the waist down else the situation might have grown more awkward. Wang Yong groaned as he raked a hand through his hair. He moved his wheelchair towards the closet and took out his own pyjama set.

With movements that he had practised since his accident, he changed into his nightwear and ordered food for both of them.

Inside the washroom, Xin Qian was in no better condition. With closed eyes, she was leaning against the wall thinking about how intimate they had gotten. The fact that there was someone else watching them didn't bother her anymore, the thing that had thrown her off-balance was that actually quite liked the way he touched her, kissed her and she wanted more of it.

It had only been close to one month that they came to know each other. Just a month ago they were complete strangers, it rattled her mind as to how close they had become in such a short time. Xin Qian had never bonded with someone like that ever. This kind of intimacy, this want was something new to her. She caressed her lips softly as she remembered the way Wang Yong had kissed her. She could still feel his hands clutching at her waist - firm and possessive, his lips on hers- hungry and brazen, his tongue inside her mouth - fighting for dominance.

A tortured moan escaped her lips as the need arose inside her like a raging fire. Was this normal? Did this happen to other couples like them as well, couples who were bound in an arranged marriage?!

Xin Qian's heartbeat rate increased as she realized that she was lusting after her husband! Now, this wasn't wrong in any sense, after-all husbands are meant to lust after! "Aish! This man is making me crazy!" she whispered to herself as she stomped inside the shower cubicle like a child.

****************

Wang Yong had just been successful in diverting his mind when Xin Qian stepped out of the washroom. Though her attire was very conservative and wouldn't have been that much appealing but right now as she was standing in front of him all he could think about was how she would feel under his hands. And just like that his mind was once again filled with all kinds of x-rated images about him and Xin Qian.

"Are you feeling okay?" Xin Qian asked noticing Wang Yong's red face. She touched his forehead checking his temperature unaware of the fact that Wang Yong wasn't burning because of a fever but something else entirely. Now, he couldn't just tell her that he was feeling like a horny teenager, now can he?!

"Uuhh, I am feeling fine." replied Wang Yong as he removed her hand from his face. It would be of great help if she wasn't touching him.

Thankfully they were interrupted by the shrill tone of Xin Qian's cell phone. As Xin Qian went away to attend the call, Wang Yong heaved a sigh of relief. He covered his face with his hands feeling embarrassed about his thoughts towards Xin Qian. "Control yourself!" he murmured to himself.

****************

It was Abigail who had called Xin Qian to ask about the result of Wang Yong's check-up. She was happy when she learned that Wang Yong would be able to walk on his legs again. Xin Qian also informed her that she and Wang Yong would be staying in New York for Wang Yong's treatment for the next 30 days.

"Don't you think that you should tell Wang Yong about the danger looming over him? Do you think that he won't be able to handle it?" Abigail asked.

"It's nothing like that." Xin Qian replied, "I know he can handle the truth and we have proofs enough to prove that his life is in danger. It's just that I want him to recover first." Xin Qian added.

"I want him to get physically strong first. Though his condition is temporary, but it is still a disability considering the situation he is in. All this time he could have recovered easily but the poison was stopping him from that. Enemies are close enough and he won't be able to deal with it in his current condition. Let these 30 days pass, let him get treated for his condition first. I want him to concentrate all his energy on recovering instead of thinking about the danger looming over him. And I...." Xin Qian stopped speaking but Abigail understood her silence.

"You are more worried as to how he would react when he will get to know that his wife had been torturing the woman who was giving him poison. You are actually worried that whether he will accept you after getting to know about the dark side of your nature or not." Abigail knew what her friend must be feeling.

Xin Qian didn't counter it because what Abigail said was actually true. She sighed and said, "He will get to know about it one-day or the other. I will deal with it when the situation will come. But one thing I am sure about is that after Wang Yong will recover completely, I will tell him about everything about the attempts on his life."
