When Kim woke up, she was safely tucked in his embrace . She snuggled into him, enjoying the feeling of his hands wrapped around her, avoiding her hands . Her heart felt warm . His hug offered security and comfort, just as she liked it .

Her movement woke him up, placing a kiss on her forehead, he greeted, "Good morning . "

She acknowledged his greeting by sniffing in his scent, he lightly chuckled, "Who's the dog now?"

Her lips curled up, "Now I understand why you did that . "

His scent was like a drug she couldn't get enough of . Inviting and delicious .

"You haven't informed your friends, they might be really worried . "

"I'll tell them later, for now, I just want…" she did not complete her sentence as she trailed her nose from his chest to his neck . Before he could ask what she was doing, she bit down on his neck . Then as if to soothe the pain she caused, she ran her tongue over the spot .

"I bet my lips taste better . " She heard him say . She chuckled . In compliance she trailed little kisses from his neck to his lips .

She nibbled on his lips a little before pulling away . She left him wanting more .

"Good morning . "

…

"For the couch, what color do you want?" Kim called out .

"You're in charge," came his reply .

Shopping was definitely not easy . Rather than call an interior decorator, she decided to pick out everything herself . It was proving rather difficult . They were both indecisive . She should have known after the ordeal in the saloon . He liked whatever she picked, making no personal comment . While she could not pick one without feeling she was loosing another .

She stared at the different designs in the catalogue . Kim felt like she was going crazy . "I can't do this . I'll just pick out the utensils . Let's call an interior decorator . " Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting .

"Whatever you want . " He said, rubbing her hair .

After that, he led her out of the store as they went to a different store where she could pick whatever utensils she wanted .

Almost three hours later, she had picked all she wanted, then she ordered for it to be delivered to their home .

"Tired?" He asked .

She nodded her head in acknowledgement .

"Ok, then let's go get ice cream . " He suggested .

While she picked her snacks, he wrapped his hands around her stomach, "You're so thin . "

She placed her hand on his, "You don't like it?"

"Not really . I mean as compared to before . "

"What if I become obese?"

He raised his head as if I deep thought, "I'll get a trolley to move you about . "

Kim paused, then she elbowed him, "You can also be annoying . "

"I was just joking . . it doesn't really matter whether you're thin or fat, I love you . " He declared .

"You better keep to your words . "

…

When they got home, Carl deboxed the appliances then shelved them while Kim watched him .

Soon the door bell went off, he went to get the door . It was a lady, he guessed was the interior designer they requested for .

"July?" He asked .

She smiled warmly, "Yes . "

"Please, come in . " He made way for her before closing the door .

"I'm sorry but there's no place to sit . " He said as he motioned her to the kitchen where Kim was .

The interior designer was stunning . She had shoulder length, wavy hair . She was of average height . Then she had an hourgla.s.s figure which Kim noticed first . Unconsciously her eyes moved to Carl to see if he was looking at her but he wasn't . He was checking his phone . She let out the breath she didn't know she was holding .

"Good day, I'm July, your interior designer . " She introduced herself .

The more they interacted, Kim wanted to kick her out . She was beautiful, had an hourgla.s.s shape and she had a job, and young too . She couldn't help but feel small . Then she comforted herself by saying, she was still a student and Carl loved only her .

"Kim . "

"From what I can see, you just moved in," July stated .

"Yes . "

"Do you have any preferences? Or should I just show you some of my designs?" July asked them both, but her eyes were on Carl . As if sensing them, he raised his head, "She's in charge," he pointed to Kim and continued with his phone .

July smiled, "Let's start with your budget . "

Kim looked at Carl, he raised his head once more, "It doesn't matter . "

"Then let me check out your home . "

Kim got up, to show her the way . "You aren't coming along?" July asked Carl .

To which Kim replied, "You only need to pay attention to my demands . "

July paused, then she nodded, "Sure . "

"Come . "

Actually Carl was texting Allan at first, but when he noticed Kim's gaze on him, he knew he should not try to look at the interior designer for whatever reason . So he downloaded a game to play .

After they left, he felt relieved, he placed his phone aside and continued shelving the utensils . By the time, he shelved the blender, they returned .

"Like I said, I want a minimalistic design . I'm open to your suggestions . " Kim spoke like she was unbothered by July .

On cue, July brought out a different catalogue to show Kim . While Carl continued with his phone . Trying to remain as invincible as possible but July would not let him .

"Your…" she gestured at Carl hoping to know what their relations.h.i.+p was . Kim acted like she did not know what she meant .
