The Sweet Taste of Love(4)

9

When the hot June was over, Ryan called and told me that he had finished the exam.

At that time, Henric and I were sitting by the French window. Outside the window was the vast sea. Henric's pupils were light-colored. When the sun was shining, the blue light of the sea was reflected in his pupils, which looked as clear as the spring water.

However, as I answered the phone, his clear pupils instantly darkened.

"Rita, I've finished the exam." Ryan's excited voice sounded on the phone. "Can I see you this evening?"

I leaned into Henric's arms and said lazily, "Not today. I'm on vacation."

He was silent for a moment. Then he suddenly asked warily, "Who is with you?"

"Good boy, you should not ask this question."

I was playing with the buttons of Henric's shirt now and then. "I'll contact you when I go back."

After hanging up the phone, I sat up straight in Henric's arms. I turned around and found that he was still sitting very straight. He did not want to bend down even an inch.
