The Young Man One
Confidence and Trust

Kelvan held his hand against the door, just as the room closed. He looked at Livia who was raising her head. On second thought, it felt like he didn't want to lose their time together tonight.

"I haven't done it in a long time" Kelvan said. "Maybe, it'll be a little stiff, but I'll do my best for your first experience."

"Absolutely no longer do it?"

Kelvan thinning lips. "Either?"

Livia frowned. "Some of my married friends say that holding back is something that is very difficult to do. I was just wondering how you got over it after your wife's gone."

"What choice do I have other than restraint?"

"You said you were ever close to a woman, but Nea disagreed with her."

Kelvan flinched, not expecting Livia to talk about Jennifer now. The two of them were in a relationship but never so intimate. Perhaps, because what they think is not entirely about feelings, but rather the desire to achieve a happy relationship in a different way.

"Our relationship didn't get that way. Nea always got in the way when she found out I was going to go see Jennifer."

"So, she's named Jennifer?"

"Yes. She's a model once, now running a business."

"You ... still meet him?"

"No. I never saw him again, even if it happened. It's just the news I heard from my secretary, because they're friends."

Kelvan remained silent for a while, then smiled. "I don't know if you'll always be like this when you're in a relationship with someone. It's obvious that you're jealous right now."

Livia put both hands on her waist. "Eventually? We're not just in a relationship, but you're my husband. Can't I just act like this?"

"I didn't say that. It's just, seeing someone jealous of me when it's no longer my world is so impressive."

"Jealous knows nothing, Kelvan."

Kelvan rubbed Livia's cheek gently. "My secretary is a man. His name is Ivon. So, you don't have to be jealous of her."

"That's a relief."—Livia hugged her husband—"Sometimes I doubt how to behave to you. We like each other, but I don't know much about you. I also don't know if this kind of me will be okay in your eyes."

Kelvan had to say that he agreed with his secretary. Livia is not the type of woman she needs to accompany, because she does not have time to settle jealousy, something that does not need to be a problem anymore in a relationship, because one of the things that is needed in a household is trust.

Although not the type of woman he wants to be made as a friend, but he also has to admit that Livia has occupied his heart. Livia really thought of her as someone to be loved with all her heart. He felt that if the household was lived with Livia, it felt better because this woman would make her monotonous life more colorful.

Kelvan made their eyes look at each other and said, "There's no need to rush. We can go slowly, because there is still a lot of time. You just have to be yourself when you face me. It'll make me know you better."

Livia nodded her head. "All right."

Kelvan looked at his wife, removing the hair from the face so as not to block the beautiful scene before his eyes. He rubbed Livia's lips that were still moist from the mark of their kiss earlier, weighing her thumb there so as to pave the way for her to kiss the lips back deeply.
