CH - 29

This morning, the villa was peaceful, with only the soft chirping of birds outside the window breaking the silence. Orm had woken up early, taking the time to prepare a special breakfast for herself and Ling. She walked lightly toward the kitchen, carrying her phone, which displayed the recipe for Fluffy Pancakes with Mixed Berries and Honey Syrup—a menu she had found on Google last night. Though she didn’t cook often, Orm was confident that this time, she could serve something delicious and different.

She carefully prepared the ingredients. Flour, baking powder, milk, eggs, and a pinch of salt were neatly arranged on the kitchen counter, ready to be mixed. Beside them, she also set out fresh strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and a bottle of natural honey she had bought yesterday.

With great caution, Orm cracked the eggs, separating the whites from the yolks before whisking the egg whites until they became fluffy. She remembered that this was the key step to achieving the pancakes' soft texture. Once the egg whites were perfectly whipped, she gently folded them into the main batter, smiling occasionally as she imagined Ling enjoying the result of her creation.

As the first pancake cooked on the pan, Orm carefully sliced the berries, arranging them beautifully on a plate. She wanted to add a sweet touch to their morning, not only through the taste of the food but also through its visually appealing presentation.

After a few minutes, the first pancake was done, golden brown and fluffy. Orm continued cooking the next ones, stacking them neatly on a plate. Between each layer, she drizzled a bit of honey so the sweetness would soak in. The warm aroma of freshly made pancakes filled the room, creating a cozy atmosphere that would make anyone hungry at first scent.

Not long after, Ling appeared at the kitchen doorway, looking freshly woken up, her hair slightly messy and a soft smile forming as she saw Orm busy in the kitchen.

"Morning, love. Why are you up so early?" Ling asked, rubbing her eyes as she tried to shake off the drowsiness.

Orm turned and smiled. "Good morning, Phi… I'm making a special breakfast for us," she answered cheerfully. "I made Fluffy Pancakes with Mixed Berries. I hope you like them."

Ling stepped closer, inhaling the delicious aroma from the plate on the table, looking impressed. "Wow, this looks amazing! Thank you, love." She placed a gentle kiss on Orm’s cheek as a token of appreciation.

They sat down at the dining table, enjoying breakfast in a peaceful atmosphere. Ling picked up a piece of pancake, dipped it into the honey, and took a slow bite, her lips curling into a satisfied smile. "This is so good! My wife is truly talented at cooking."

Orm felt relieved and happy to hear Ling’s praise. "I'm glad you like it, Phi," she said with a smile.

"This is our last day in Japan," Ling said as she scooped another piece of pancake into her mouth. "Where would you like to go?"

Orm, who had been busy chewing, quickly swallowed before her eyes lit up with excitement. "Of course, I want to visit Arashiyama! I heard there’s the Hozu River, where we can go cycling along the riverside," Orm replied enthusiastically, almost without pausing. "And I want to take pictures near the cherry blossom garden there! It must be so beautiful!"

"That sounds wonderful," Ling responded, gazing at Orm affectionately. "I can already picture you having fun there, cycling along the Hozu River, surrounded by cherry blossom trees with petals falling along the path." She then picked up another bite of pancake, staring at it for a moment before eating it. "And who knows, maybe we could stay a little longer, waiting for the sunset."

Orm nodded eagerly. "Ah, I can't wait, Phi! Just imagine us cycling slowly, enjoying the cool breeze as we watch the leaves and cherry blossoms fall. It will be such a beautiful memory for both of us."

After finishing breakfast, they got ready, putting on light jackets and comfortable shoes, preparing to explore Arashiyama. Ling helped Orm check the camera bag and ensured the battery was fully charged, while Orm packed water bottles and some small snacks for their trip.

•••••

The journey to Arashiyama took about half an hour from the villa, but once they arrived, the scenery was truly breathtaking. They were greeted by the sight of the Hozu River flowing gently, its crystal-clear waters reflecting the blue sky above. Along the riverbanks, cherry blossom trees thrived, some already beginning to bloom, adding to the beauty of the place.

"Woah..." Orm murmured in awe at the view before her. She quickly grabbed Ling’s hand and urged her, "Let's rent bikes now."

Ling simply followed Orm’s excitement, letting herself be pulled toward the bicycle rental. They rented two bikes and began riding along the narrow path that stretched alongside the river. Orm, filled with enthusiasm, pedaled ahead, occasionally stopping to take photos or simply enjoy the soft breeze. Ling followed behind, watching Orm laugh and smile the entire way.

"Let's take a photo together," Orm said eagerly when they stopped at a shaded spot along the path. She looked at Ling with a bright smile, her happiness even more radiant in the romantic setting by the serene Hozu River.

Ling nodded, smiling as she carefully set her bike aside. They walked toward the riverbank, searching for the perfect spot to capture the moment. Orm, already familiar with handling a camera, adjusted their positioning to ensure the river's gentle flow served as the perfect backdrop.

"Alright, stand here, Phi," Orm said, pointing to an ideal spot. "I want us to align naturally with the river in the background so the photo looks perfect."

Ling followed Orm’s instructions without protest, positioning herself as directed. Orm moved slightly to the right, ensuring they were both framed well.

She pressed the shutter, and the camera clicked several times, capturing their affectionate moments—some where they gazed at each other lovingly, others where Ling embraced Orm from behind, both smiling joyfully. The sunlight glimmered off the water, enhancing the warmth of their photographs.

After cycling for a while longer, they reached a cherry blossom park in full bloom. Pink and white petals filled the air, drifting down gently like a soft floral rain. Orm stopped her bike, gazing in awe at the towering trees forming a beautiful canopy above them.

Ling walked up beside her, setting her bike down before standing next to Orm, who was still mesmerized. She took out the camera from her bag, carefully capturing Orm’s radiant smile among the fluttering sakura petals. Every time Orm smiled, Ling felt her heart grow warmer, cherishing how much this moment meant to them both.

Under the shade of the cherry blossom trees, with petals softly falling around them, Ling and Orm posed for more pictures, their happiness evident in every frame. After several shots, Orm felt tired and decided to sit on one of the nearby park benches. She sighed contentedly as the gentle breeze brushed against her skin, carrying the sweet scent of sakura.

Ling noticed Orm resting and immediately followed, taking a seat beside her. She studied Orm’s face, slightly weary but still glowing with joy. With a warm smile, she tilted her head slightly and asked softly, "Do you want me to get you something to drink?"

Orm nodded, returning Ling’s gaze with a small smile. "Yes, I’d love some ice cream. It’ll be refreshing in this weather," she said cheerfully, her eyes sparkling at the thought of the cold treat cooling her down.

Ling chuckled, gently tucking a stray strand of hair behind Orm’s ear. "Alright, wait here. I’ll go get some." She pointed toward an ice cream vendor not too far from where they sat.

Orm nodded, thanking her with a sweet smile before leaning back on the bench, savoring the tranquil scenery. The cherry blossoms continued to drift through the air, creating a peaceful, almost dreamlike atmosphere.

Not long after, Ling returned with two ice cream cups in hand. She sat down beside Orm and handed her one with a small, affectionate smile. "Here you go, my dear wife."

Orm accepted it happily, immediately scooping a spoonful into her mouth. The cold, sweet flavor spread across her tongue, instantly refreshing her. She let out a satisfied sigh, glancing at Ling with gratitude.

Ling took a bite of her own ice cream before turning to Orm with a playful smirk. Her eyes gleamed mischievously as she noticed a smudge of ice cream on Orm’s lips. "You’re like a little kid—so messy when you eat," she teased.

Orm blinked, confused. "Huh? Where?" She quickly wiped her mouth with her palm. "Is it gone, Phi?" she asked, slightly flustered, worried she hadn’t cleaned it all.

Ling’s smirk widened as she shook her head. "Nope, it’s still there," she said quickly. "Let me help you clean it, love…"

Before Orm could react, Ling leaned in closer until their faces were just inches apart.

"P'Ling!" Orm gasped, her eyes widening as she felt Ling’s lips press softly against hers, licking away the ice cream with deliberate slowness. "We’re in public… don’t do things like this," she whispered, flustered, though the blush spreading across her cheeks betrayed her true feelings.

Ling, however, met her gaze with unwavering confidence. "Why not? I’m doing this with my wife—what’s wrong with that?" she asked, her voice gentle yet firm, her eyes filled with nothing but love.

Orm hesitated but couldn’t suppress the small smile forming on her lips. "It’s not that you can’t, love," she murmured shyly. "It’s just… I feel embarrassed doing this in public. You’re a celebrity, after all." She lowered her gaze, her face still warm from the unexpected kiss.

Ling simply shook her head. "I don’t care," she declared, setting her ice cream aside. She then cupped Orm’s cheeks with both hands, pulling her in closer. "I want the whole world to know how much I love you."

With that, she kissed Orm again, this time with slow, lingering affection.

Orm let out a small laugh, instinctively placing her hands on Ling’s chest to gently push her away. "P'Ling… that’s enough," she whispered, a mix of amusement and shyness in her voice.

But Ling wasn’t finished. She wrapped her arms around Orm tighter, planting one last lingering kiss before finally pulling away. Chuckling, she gave Orm a playful peck on the cheek before lightly biting it in a fit of adoration. "I love you so much… I feel like I could die from it," she whispered, her voice both teasing and sincere, her eyes filled with devotion.

Orm was momentarily speechless, touched by Ling’s words. She grasped Ling’s hands tightly, her voice turning soft. "P'Ling… don’t say things like that. If you’re gone, what would I do? Who would I be with?" she murmured, her tone carrying a hint of sadness.

Ling smiled and immediately pulled Orm into a warm embrace, holding her close. She kissed Orm’s cheek once more and ran her fingers gently through her hair. "I won’t die or leave you alone. I’ll always be here with you, until the end," she promised with quiet certainty.

Orm nodded, allowing herself to melt into Ling’s embrace. She rested her head against Ling’s chest, listening to the steady rhythm of her heartbeat, a silent vow echoing within it.

The wind whispered through the cherry blossoms, shaking the branches above them, causing petals to fall around them like a soft, pink snowfall. They sat together under the blooming trees, wrapped in each other’s warmth, as if time had momentarily paused—leaving only the love and serenity they shared in that perfect moment.

Orm closed her eyes, feeling an overwhelming sense of peace in Ling’s arms, knowing that her heart had found its forever home.

•••••

After a long journey on the last day of their trip to Japan, Ling and Orm finally arrived at the villa where they were staying. The night was already late, yet the villa felt warm and peaceful. They entered the house together, tired but with happy smiles on their faces.

After taking off their shoes and jackets, they headed straight to the kitchen to organize the groceries they had brought. Ling placed the shopping bags on the kitchen table and turned to Orm. "I'll take care of this first. You should go to the room and rest."

Orm gave a small smile and nodded. "Alright, but I also want to organize our luggage, since we have to leave tomorrow." She then took a few small shopping bags filled with souvenirs to the bedroom, planning to neatly arrange them in the suitcase.

In the bedroom, Orm opened her suitcase and began sorting through their belongings one by one. Among the folded clothes, she carefully placed the souvenirs they had prepared for family and friends. With great care, she arranged everything to ensure it was secure and well-organized. She also opened Ling's suitcase, which was much simpler and not too full. Ling never packed too many things, making it easier for Orm to organize without much hassle.

Not long after, the bedroom door opened, and Ling stepped inside. She stood near the door, watching Orm, who was still busy packing. "Is there anything I can help with?" she asked gently.

Orm turned to her briefly and smiled. "No, Phi. I'm almost done," she replied without stopping what she was doing.

Ling simply nodded. She walked toward the edge of the bed and sat down, unlocking her phone to browse through the photos they had taken throughout the day. A small smile appeared on her face as she looked at the memories captured in each picture, bringing back moments filled with joy and laughter.

After finishing the packing, Orm stretched her slightly sore body, then approached Ling and sat beside her. Ling, who was still looking at the photos on her phone, turned to show one to Orm. "Look at this picture," she said, displaying a photo of the two of them under a cherry blossom tree. "I want to print this one, put it in a frame, and display it in our home later."

Orm gazed at the photo with a soft smile before nodding. "I agree, it's a beautiful picture. Oh, I also want to print this one," she said, showing another photo on her phone.

Ling chuckled softly. "Alright, let's print all of these pictures. They'll be memories we can look at every day." She took back her phone from Orm's hand and continued scrolling through the photos, smiling unconsciously.

From the side, Orm watched Ling's bright, happy face. Without thinking, she placed her hand on Ling’s thigh, feeling the warmth between them. "Thank you, my love, for making me happy," she said softly.

Ling turned to her, meeting Orm’s gaze with the same warm smile. She then placed her hand over Orm’s. "You don’t need to thank me. Seeing you happy makes me happy too, and I will keep making you even happier."

Orm looked at Ling with deep affection, her lips curving into an uncontainable smile. "Since you've made me happy, this time, I want to make you happy too..." she whispered, slowly standing from her seat. She then began to unfasten the dress she was wearing, letting Ling become mesmerized by the beauty of her body.

Ling swallowed hard, her eyes locked onto Orm’s figure, now standing gracefully before her in nothing but lingerie. Her heartbeat pounded rapidly, unable to withstand the intensity of their gaze. As Orm slowly stepped closer and sat on her lap, Ling could feel the warmth that enveloped their bodies. Almost instinctively, her hands wrapped around Orm’s waist, pulling her closer.

Orm lifted her hand, her fingers moving gently to touch the nape of Ling’s neck, caressing it slowly. The sensation sent a soft yet electrifying shiver down Ling’s spine, igniting a deeper longing within her. Orm’s voice came out in a sultry whisper, dripping with confidence that made Ling fall even deeper. “Tonight, P’Ling can do anything to me,” she murmured teasingly.

Ling swallowed again, slightly taken aback by Orm’s boldness. “Anything?” she asked slowly, her eyes searching Orm’s face, trying to decipher the hidden fire behind that calm yet smoldering gaze. Her hands moved on their own, caressing Orm’s smooth back, feeling the warmth of her skin with every brush of her fingertips.

Orm nodded gently, her eyes locked onto Ling’s with a look filled with trust and desire. “Yes… anything,” she whispered, her voice barely more than a soft, breathy sigh.

Without another word, Ling captured Orm’s lips in a passionate kiss. She claimed her upper lip before sucking on the lower one, while Orm eagerly returned the kiss, matching her intensity. As their lips moved in sync, Orm's hands skillfully unbuttoned Ling’s shirt, slipping it off her shoulders before tossing it to the floor.

The kiss was filled with hunger and desire, leaving Orm breathless as she pulled away, panting softly. But she wasn’t finished. She trailed light kisses along Ling’s ear before teasingly biting the sensitive skin. Her lips traveled downward, pressing kisses along Ling’s neck, leaving marks as she licked and sucked sensually.

The heat of Orm’s lips and tongue against her skin sent a shudder through Ling’s body, making her instinctively tilt her head back, giving Orm full access to explore. Orm’s hands gently pushed Ling down onto the bed, keeping herself on top as she continued showering Ling with kisses. She trailed lower, her lips pressing against Ling’s abdomen, her fingers tracing over her toned stomach with slow, sensual strokes.

"Orm..." Ling spoke in a soft voice, her hand gripping Orm’s hair as she quickly grabbed Orm’s hand, stopping her from unbuttoning her pants.

Orm looked up at Ling with a gentle smile. "Just let me take care of everything. P’Ling, you just need to enjoy it," she said calmly before leaning in to kiss Ling’s lips again. Her hands moved with purpose, continuing to remove Ling’s pants.

Ling returned the kiss, surrendering to Orm’s touch and allowing her to slip off her pants. A shiver ran through her body as she felt Orm’s lips press against her most sensitive area. "Mmhh..." A soft moan escaped Ling’s lips.

Orm glanced up at her briefly before continuing, her tongue slowly tracing over Ling’s most delicate spot. Her movements were fluid and precise, sending waves of pleasure through Ling’s body. Her thighs instinctively tightened around Orm’s head, trapping her between them as she trembled under the sensations.

"Mmhh... Aaah..." Ling's hand gently pulled Orm's hair while lifting her hips slightly feeling a sensation flowing through his body when she had reached his climax.

"Aahhh...." Ling let out a long sigh when she had reached her climax. Orm smiled in satisfaction when the liquid wet his mouth then pulled her head away from Ling's crotch.

Ling took a deep breath, regulating her panting breath while looking at Orm who was crawling back up her body.

Orm kissed Ling's lips briefly while caressing Ling's cheeks. "Now I'll give P'Ling dessert.." She said in a seductive voice.

Ling froze when she saw Orm standing and taking off his underwear in front of her. Especially when she saw Orm starting to squat in front of her face.

"Orm... Mmhh..." Ling's mouth fell silent when Orm occupied her mouth. Already understanding what Orm wanted, Ling began to stick out her tongue to lick Orm's vagina from the bottom to her clitoris.

Orm gripped the headboard of the bed while writhing slowly. Her hips moved back and forth rubbing her sensitive area in Ling's mouth and pressing her vagina even harder against Ling's mouth when Ling's tongue entered her sensitive area.

"Aaah... Aaah...."

Orm's moans grew louder filling their room. The air-conditioned room was not even felt because of the hot passion that Orm's body felt because Ling's tongue was playing more brutally in her vagina.

Orm's body shook violently, she squeezed her legs together as if holding back something that was about to come out of her vagina. "Aaahh.. P'Ling.." she moaned long unable to hold back when she reached her climax because Ling's tongue continued to pierce her vagina.

After the climax was reached, Orm slowly lowered her body, shifted from above Ling's body and lay down beside her with her breath still panting. She regulated the rhythm of her breathing, letting the sweet exhaustion fill her body, while her gaze shifted for a moment towards the ceiling which felt increasingly calm.

Ling, still feeling the euphoria, turned her body slightly to face Orm beside her. A playful smile appeared on her lips. "Now we're even, one to one," Ling murmured, raising her eyebrows teasingly to catch Orm's attention. "Do you want to go for another round?"

Orm turned to Ling with a faint but firm smile. "There won't be another round," she replied quickly, shutting down Ling's offer.

Ling furrowed her brows, looking slightly disappointed but still curious. "Why? Are you tired?" she asked, gazing at Orm with interest.

Orm shook her head gently. "It’s not about being tired or not," she answered calmly. "But if we continue, we’ll probably end up sleeping when the sun rises. Tomorrow morning, we have to go back to Thailand, Phi," Orm explained in a soft yet firm tone.

Ling was not ready to give up just yet. She took a deep breath before trying to make another offer. "How about just one more round? I promise it won’t last until morning," she coaxed, her voice softer and full of hope. "Or… we could delay our departure if we wake up late."

Orm gave Ling a serious look, raising an eyebrow slightly to emphasize her answer. "No," she rejected firmly, without the slightest hesitation in her voice. "We should sleep and rest now."

Seeing Orm’s unwavering expression, Ling could only let out a small smile, her confidence slightly shrinking in the face of Orm’s determination. "Alright then… let's sleep," she replied with a hint of surrender, finally giving in.

Orm moved closer until their bodies were completely pressed against each other. The intimacy felt so warm and comforting, as if not even the smallest gap remained between them. Ling smiled gently, watching Orm settle into her embrace with ease. Without hesitation, Ling reached for the blanket at the foot of the bed and slowly pulled it over them, wrapping them in a warmth that held them close. She made sure Orm was comfortable in her arms.

Ling gazed at Orm with deep affection, observing every subtle change in her expression as she drifted into slumber. Her heart felt warm, as if all exhaustion and burdens melted away just by seeing Orm beside her. Not long after, Ling felt the drowsiness gradually take over. She closed her eyes, syncing her breathing with Orm’s calming rhythm, letting the warmth and serenity lull her into a peaceful sleep.
