born with a silver spoon in her mouth, adeline comes from an extremely wealthy chinese-malaysian family originally from kuala lumpur before they settled in london in the late 1960s.
from a very young age, adeline loved to create stories. she found great comfort in using writing and her imagination to create worlds of her own, seeing it as an escape from her everyday life.
being an author was the career chose for herself in childhood, she claimed it from the moment she knew what an author even was and unlike most professions chosen in childhood dreamland, she actually stuck to her plan and made it a reality.
once she graduated from oxford university with a degree in english literature, she made the move from london to opt for the quieter life in willow glen.
two marriages and five children later, adelineās success went far beyond her childhood selfās wildest imagination ā she has had an extremely successful career of the span of the past 38 years, and has earnt the title of one of the best writers of all time.
not only that, but a variety of her novels have since been turned into films and television shows, which has amassed her a significant fortune on top of the earnings from book sales.
these days adeline leads a rather quiet life as she works on her next book, enjoys time with her children, grandchildren and her girlfriend.
eyelids flickering open slowly, only to be greeted by the glare of beaming sun rays shining directly into her eyes, adeline woke up with a soft, content smile resting upon her weary features. she took a few moments to fully come to her senses before making her way out of bed and back to the world of the living.
as if sheād died and gone to heaven, the sight of meilinās flawless face was the first thing her dark eyes laid focus on; so utterly divine even first thing in the morning⦠adeline was still trying to figure out how her girlfriend was even real. āgood morning, baby.ā she greeted, warmth emanating from her tone. āhave you been up for long?ā
unable to wipe the smile off her face, she peered down at the homemade breakfast crafted ever so lovingly by her sweetheart, she couldnāt help but feel chuffed at the gesture, knowing cooking wasnāt exactly her loverās forte. even if it wasnāt edible, the writer was going to make damn sure it was.
āyou know me⦠iām game for anything.ā she quipped, words followed by a cheeky wink before pulling the plate closer to her and grabbing the utensils that sat ever so neatly by its side. āit smells delicious, though.ā at that, she briefly held up her fork to imitate a one-sided ācheersā before digging in.
several generous mouthfuls later, she took a moment to finish chewing, grin beginning to form upon her features. āwow⦠actuallyāā a pause. āāyou nailed that. itās really fucking good. is this a speciality of yours or is it more of an improvised creation? either way i might start requesting you make this for me more often.ā
it is their first valentineās season together, and although meilin was not usually sentimental about dates, she has taken extra care where adeline is concerned. the bathroom is warm and softly lit with scented candles along the counter and the rim of the tub, steam beginning to rise in gentle curls. she has already set out the thick towel adeline loves, and the expensive bath bomb sits ready on the porcelain edge, saved for the right moment. she adjusts the towels one last time before her girlfriendās voice carries down the hall. the sound alone pulls a smile from meilin, and she dries her hands and steps out of the bathroom, already glowing with quiet anticipation.Ā
she means to greet her casually, but the sight of the gifts makes her stop short, eyes widening in a way thatās almost comical for someone who prides herself on being poised. Ā ā darling... no, you did not! ā Ā she exclaims as she moves closer, fingertips brushing the petals first and then she takes the bag by the handles.Ā warmth floods her instantly as she sees the gleam of excitement on her girlfriend's face and she loops her arms around adeline's shoulders without hesitation, mouth meeting hers in a quick yet tender kiss. she peeks inside with a grin she can't hide, then looks back up at adeline, fond and a little breathless. Ā ā unbelievable. you really have no restraint, do you? ā she says incredulously, even though she should be used to this by now. she's been spoiled before, by adeline, especially. ā i was about to run you a bath so you could unwind, āĀ she murmurs near her lips, cheeks faintly pink even as a smug little smile tugs at the corner of her mouth. Ā ā and now you've completely distracted me. ā
as soon as meilin came towards her, she couldnāt help the grin that tugged at her lips, taking great satisfaction in being the one to elicit such a response from the woman. she had always had a knack for romantic gestures, but with her girlfriend it seemed to triple. she was utterly bewitched by the other woman; body and soul.
āoh yes i did,ā she replied playfully, unable to keep the lovesick grin off her face, her arms instinctively moving down and resting against her waist, gifts still clasped in each hand.
āyou really have no restraint, do you?ā the question, while rhetorical, provoked a mischievous hum as she bit down gently on her bottom lip. āno, i donāt, but thatās how i like it.ā leaning in, she stole another kiss, completely unable to resist doing so while being in the embrace of such a goddess.
after adelineās divorce from her husband, sheād dated frequently, the majority of the relationships werenāt anything serious, nothing more than a warm body to fill the empty side of her bed that had taunted her since the demise of her marriage.
it wasnāt until meilin that she found herself falling head over heels; something that she had only ever experienced once before, way back before marriage and babies were even a passing thought.
her eyes lit up at the mention of the bath, her smile morphing into a smirk. āyou are so good at reading my mindā¦ā she spoke softly, purposely grazing her lips against her loverās. ācare to join me?ā
ššššššš šššššššš for @vellichorz !
STARRING ā adeline xu & mÄilĆn chen.
LOCATION ā home; apartment 506.
a vibrant bouquet of freshly picked blooms in one hand and the unmistakable ruby red cartier shopping bag in the other, adeline entered the apartment with a pep in her step ā the season of romance had always been a time of year that she enjoyed as a romantic at heart, although, she didnāt need a particular date on the calendar for an excuse to spoil her other half.
āmy love, iām home!ā her words sounded almost melodic as she made a natural beeline for their bedroom, more than ready to shed the dayās attire for something far more comfortable.
as she rounded the corner into the master bedroom, dark eyes laid sight on the utter vision of perfection that was mÄilĆn ā adeline swore that the woman was a divinity for her to worship every inch of. waking up next to her each day felt like a āpinch meā moment, as if she was living her wildest dream.
āi come bearing gifts!ā she announced jovially, holding up the cartier bag as she closed the space between them. āthis is just an early valentineās surprise⦠a taster for the main event.ā
ā§ āø» is that MICHELLE YEOH? no? thatās ADELINE XU? are you sure? she has been here for FORTY YEARS, and they now live in AMBER RIDGE. no wonder i missed them! it seems that they are also SIXTY-TWO and that they work as NOVELIST. are you telling me that they are eloquent and intuitive, but also impatient and reticent? i guess it makes sense they would remind people of black cat-eyed reading glasses resting on the bridge of her nose, the sound of fingers tapping against the her macbook keyboard & an extensive collection of expensive red wine. now i canāt wait to meet them !
