Siren Song - 205 It Was Meant To Be

“Hey let me up.” Whispering and rocking his arm, Chang tried to free herself.

“Go back to sleep.” Without opening his eyes Jian rumbled out in a low voice.

“I can’t. Aren’t you the one who’s usually up first? If I remember right, when I lived with you in Shanghai, you would always be up by 6:30 or 7 at the latest. I’m the one who used to laze about in bed for awhile. What happened to you?”

“I have become wiser and realized what a beautiful thing it is to lay in bed holding you close in my arms.”

“Hmph sweet talker.” Unable to come up with a reasonable retort she turned away and crossed her arms. ‘I want a shower so bad.’

“Oh and here I had thought that my honeyed tongue pleased you, especially last night.”

“Ugh, you’re the worst. You know when I talk to you sometimes, I feel like I become dumber and never know what to say. You make me feel like I was never actually the captain of the debate team in school.” Slapping a hand to her face Chang groaned and cursed him inwardly as well.

“Hmm when was that, I find that rather hard to believe.”

“What, you don’t believe me? It was back in high school. I even led the debate team as the captain for two years! Then in my last year, I was in journalism.” Pouting a little Chang, turned back towards him to see that his eyes were partially open, his thick lashes shadowing over his eyes.

“What made you change your mind and switch your focus?”

“Well I don’t really like getting in front of people and arguing why I’m right and they’re wrong. I had always liked reading growing up, and so writing came more easily for me, it was also more enjoyable.

“Hah!” In response to her words Jian gave a short laugh before giving her a curious look. “So why did you even participate in debate, let alone decide to be the captain?”

“Because it was something I was never good at. I wanted to become better. I wanted to grow so I could do more with my life. Heh, but you know all those little things are actually brought me to you though. I continued the journalism in college as my major, with a few minors as well. Then my dad helped hooked me up with the job, that I met you with. So I guess it was all meant to be.” Smiling crookedly at him, Chang spoke of what she had realized back in Lahat while being held from him. How path in her life had led her to him.

“Then I would have to say I’m glad that you changed focuses.” Smiling back at her warmly Jian lightly stroked her cheek with his fingertips.

Giving him one back she then rolled over and tried to leave the bed, only to have her wrist held.

“Why, do you not want to lay here with me?” Despite her struggling Liang JianAmal pulled Chang closer and onto the bed, enjoying the vision she was showing as she struggled.

“No, I really need a shower.”

“Hmm that does sound nice actually.” Rising up Jian quickly rose from the bed.

“Not for you, me”

“But I think I shall join you my love.” Smirking Jian pulled her closer in his arms pressing his bare flesh on hers.

“Uh I don’t think it’s big enough for both of us really.” Quickly Chang tried to convince him otherwise wishing for just a quick shower in peace. She knew if he joined her that was not going to happen.

“Nonsense, it seemed fine to me from what I saw before. Come now did you not say that you needed to wash. Unless, would you rather bathe with your husband?”
