SING ME A SONG - CHAPTER 37&38
***
Lani gulped down hard as she stared at the beautiful mansion in front of her.
“Let’s go in Lani” Lonnie said, holding her hand.
Lani nod her head and they both went inside the house. On entering the house, Lani gasped at its luxuries. If she was told she was in paradise, she won’t doubt it.
It was more than beautiful, every appliances in the house cost lot of money. Only the living room was bigger than her entire house in the countryside.
“What’s wrong, Lani?” He asked.
Lani gulped down her spit again and looked at Lonnie with wide open eyes. “Is this your house?”
“Yes” He answered and Lani fell to the ground.
“Are you alright? What’s with the shocking looks?” He asked, squatting in front of her.
“I didn’t expect your house to be this big. I thought you and your band members live in the same house?”
“Yes we do, but this is my house. I do come here from time to time”
“But why is it so big? It can contain one generational family” She said and Lonnie smiled.
“Stop being a drama queen, this is one of my houses”
“One of your houses? I want to faint” She said closing her eyes and Lonnie laughed.
“What’s with the reaction?”
“I didn’t know my boyfriend is so wealthy”
Lonnie smiled and carried her from the ground. “That’s because your boyfriend is not a show off” He said and winks at her, Lani blushed.
“It should be only for me”
“What?” She asked wrapping her hands around his neck, he was carrying her in a bridal style.
“The blushing should be meant just for me. I’d go crazy if you blush for another guy. I’m a jealous boyfriend” He said and Lani laughs so hard.
“I am being serious. I want to be the reason for your smile and why you have to feel butterflies tingling in your stomach, I want to be the only one who makes your heart race”
“Don’t worry about that Lonnie, cuz no guy can make me feel happy the way you make me feel happy” She said, and they both smiled at each other.
“But seriously I am still shock you have a house like this, you never mentioned it, I’d have known about it”
“I just chose to keep a low profile” Lonnie answered her as he takes her upstairs.
He dropped her on the bed when they entered the room and Lani kept looking around the room.
“Even the room is screaming money”
“Then do you want to live here with me?” He asked with a smile, sitting beside her.
“Huh?”
“I am no longer a K-pop idol which means I can do wh@??ver I want now”
“I’d have love that, but my grandma doesn’t like staying in Seoul”
“That reminds me, how is grandma?”
“Her surgery was a success, the doctor said he is going to call me once she wakes up”
“That’s good to know”
“Thank you so much”
“For what, Lani”
“For paying for my grandmother’s hospital bills, if you haven’t done that I don’t know what would have become of her. Thank you so much”
Lonnie held her hand and caressed it softly while Lani looked at him.
“You don’t have to thank me, Lani. You’re my girlfriend now, so don’t hesitate to tell me if you need anything, I am going to get it for you”
“I don’t want to be seen as a leeching girlfriend”
“If anyone dares calls you that, then I am going to break their heads. It’s my responsibility to take care of you, so don’t ever feel like a leeching girlfriend okay”
Lani nod her head, both smiled at each other.
“Are you hungry? I will get you something to eat” He said, trying to stand up, but Lani held him.
“Don’t bother”
“Why?”
“Seeing your face had filled up my stomach, I just want to have my bath” She said.
“Alright, I will order some clothes for you”
In less than few minutes the clothes were delivered to Lonnie’s mansion. It was a nightwear and some casual wears.
“Good night, Lani” He kissed her forehead and was about leaving, but she held his hand.
“Where are you going?”
“I have seven rooms in this mansion, I am just going to sleep in one of the rooms”
“Why would you sleep in one of the rooms?” She asked.
“Where will I sleep then?” Lonnie asked, and she tapped on the bed.
“Will you be comfortable sharing a bed with me?”
“Why won’t I be comfortable sharing a bed with my boyfriend?” Lani asked, and he smiled.
***
“I feel like I am in a fairytale” Lani said some minutes later. Both were lying on the bed, with her head on Lonnie’s chest.
“Why do you think so?”
“Well it wasn’t long ago when I wrote a childish comment to you saying you shouldn’t reply to my comment that I was going to faint, who would have imagined that you’d turn out to be my boyfriend”
“Wait! You were the 14 years old girl who borrowed her neighbor’s phone just because her grandma couldn’t get her a phone?” Lonnie asked and Lani sat up on the bed.
“You read my comment?” She asked with a smile.
“Yes I did, I’d have replied but I was scared that you’d faint like you said you will. It was so cute that I had to screenshot it” Lonnie said, looking at Lani.
“Why are you looking at me?”
“You have indeed grown and even have a boyfriend” Lonnie said and Lani hit his chest.
“Stop teasing me, you’re just six years older”
Lonnie smiled and peck her lips.
“What was that for?”
“I am just happy”
Happy about what?”
“That our fate cross path. I guess I lost my voice in singing for a reason, thanks to it, I got to meet a cute damsel like you”
“Stop pulling my leg” She said, blushing.
“I am not pulling your legs, Lani. I’m saying the truth, thank you for coming into my life”
“Thank you too for coming into my life, and like I said, I will become your voice”
Lonnie pulled her closer and hugged her.
“I am never going to make you cry, that’s a promise”
“I believe you, Lonnie” She hug him back, patting his back.
***
Lonnie kept looking at Lani who was already sleeping. He removed the strands of hair, that was covering her face and he smiled when he saw her cute face.
“She is so cute” He muttered and smiled again.
“Thank you so much, Lani, you gave me a hope to live again. He kissed her forehead, before standing up from the bed.
He got his songbook, he looked at the sleeping Lani and began composing a song. He was writing a song which is meant for Lani.

•SEOUL NATIONAL HOSPITAL, SAME NIGHT•
“I am so worried about Lani, maybe I should give her a call” Dami said, trying to call Lani, but Rory takes the phone from her.
“What’s the meaning of what you just did?” She asked.
“I know you’re worried about Lani, but let her have her moments with Lonnie” Rory said.
“Moment? What does that mean?”
“Why do you think I took your phone from you?”
“Can you go straight to the point and stop messing with my brain?”
“I saw them kissing a while ago” Rory dropped the bombshell and Dami gasped.
“Really?”
“Yes. I was looking for her when I saw them kissing. I think they are official now”
“Awww, that’s so sweet” Dami said, smiling.
“I know right, it felt like I was watching a k-drama kissing scene, I had to leave so they could do their thing”
“I wish I can kiss Camren too, I didn’t get the chance to talk to him, cuz of that girl that calls herself Sage. Camren was so handsome” She said, smiling.
“What’s so handsome about that jerk!!! Why would you kiss a stranger!!!!” He shouted at her.
“Camren is my crush”
“Crush? What’s so great about him? Is it because he is a celebrity!!!” He shouted at her again.
“Why are you shouting at me!!!”
“I don’t know!!!” He walked away from her, but came back again.
“If I have the money that Camren has, I’d be handsome than him. Give me back my jacket!!” He took the jacket he gave to Dami and walked away.
“What’s his problem?” Dami muttered and smiled when she remembered Camren’s face.
“I hope I get a chance to talk him again. I can’t believe I saw my crush” She giggled excitedly, but she stopped when she remembered, Posy.
Posy went back to the countryside cuz she got an emergency call from her mother.
Dami tried calling her, but it wasn’t reachable.
“I hope she is okay”
Nevertheless, she continued imagining her kiss with Camren.
***
Rory kicked a soda can angry, he puts his hands on his waist and looked back at the hospital’s building as if Dami was standing there.
“Kiss Camren?” He scoffed and continued.
“She should as well kiss Lee min ho or even Kim Taehyung! Just because Camren is a K-pop idol she wants to kiss him, she is so unbelievable, why will…. ” Rory stopped talking and furrowed his eyebrows.
“Wait a second, why am I even overreacting? It’s not like she is my girlfriend” He slaps himself.
“Get your thinking straight, Rory, Dami isn’t a girl you should fall for. She acts like a guy, Lani and Posy are more beautiful than her. You’re eating too much and that’s why you’re not thinking properly” He nodded his head.
“Rory!” Dami called his name coming out from the hospital’s building.
Rory turned to look at her, and his heart began beating fast as Dami walked up to him. Right now he wasn’t seeing her as a girl who loves being in a boyish outfit, but as a girl dressed in a girly outfit.
He screamed loudly and slapped himself so hard, and before Dami could walk to him, he stood to his heels.
“Rory! Why are you running?” Dami asked, but Rory didn’t answer her questions and continued running to only where God knows.

•MARY-JANE MANSION•
Mary-Jane had a frown on her face as she looked at Lani’s picture.
“Her name is Lani Han?” She asked the private investigator.
“Yes. She is eighteen years old and she is in her final year in high school”
“High school? She is still a minor? Can’t believe Lonnie had to go for a girl like her. She is not just poor but a minor too, what can she possibly add to his life?”
“Age is just a number, ma’am, beside Lonnie is just six years older than her, if you look at it properly, she is not a minor to him”
Mary-Jane glared at him. “Do you want to see me get angry?”
“No ma’am”
“Get your stupid self out of my sight!!” She shouted at him, and he leaves immediately.
Mary-Jane squeezed Lani’s picture angrily and said. “Enjoy it while it lasts, Lani, cuz I’m going to make sure a poor countryside girl like you, won’t be a part of my son’s life.
She takes her phone from the table and dials a number.
“Hello, this is Mary-Jane speaking. I’d love to sign up my son for modeling”
******
•NEXT DAY•
The morning sun shone on Lani’s face, and she squeezed her face before opening her eyes. She stretch her body with a yawn, but she stopped yawning when she couldn’t see Lonnie sleeping beside her.
“Lonnie” She muttered his name.
She got down from the bed and went downstairs to look for him. The house was so big and she didn’t know which path to take, she had some sounds and when she followed where the sounds were coming from, she saw Lonnie in the kitchen cooking.
The kitchen was beautiful and it was so wide, it won’t be a surprise if it could contain three rooms.
Lani walked up to him and hugged him from behind with her hands on his waist.
“Good morning, sweetheart” She said.
Lonnie smiled and looked at her. “Has my baby woken up?”
“Yes she has. What are you doing?”
“Cooking”
“You know how to cook? I thought you don’t know how to do any chores?”
“I can’t cook, I am just practicing how to cook online” Lonnie said.
“Hmmm, can I ask you a question?” She said drawing invisible lines on his chest.
“Sure, go on”
“Me or the cooking?” Lani asked, flirting.
Lonnie chuckled. “Should I answer the question?”
“Of course you should, that’s why it’s called a question” She said still drawing invisible lines on his chest. The first four buttons of his nightwear was opened.
Lonnie smiled again, and his hand went to the gas cooker and he turned it off.
“It’s you of course” He said, carrying her, Lani screamed and at the same time laughing.
“Why is my baby looking so beautiful this morning?”
“Hmm, that’s because I’m your baby” Lani said and they both laughed.
The laugh die down and for the first five seconds that pass, they stared at each other without saying a word. As slow as a snail, Lonnie lean forward and kissed her lips.
It started in a slow pace, but it gradually became intense, and they began kissing each other in a fast but soothing pace.
Lonnie carried Lani and placed her on the kitchen’s cabinet, still kissing her. They broke the kiss, staring at each other with eyes filled with so much emotion and desire.
Lani was the one who resumed the kiss, and Lonnie didn’t hesitate to reciprocate to the kiss. He could feel the segzual desire to do more than just a kiss. He deepen the kiss the more, and his hand slowly went to the nightwear Lani was wearing.
He slowly began unbuttoning her shirt, kissing her insanely.
