I didn't want the day to end but sadly, it had too. We were in the same position all morning and my legs were starting to hurt and my stomach was stating how hungry it was becoming.

"I'm tired," Min said.

"I'm hungry, I think I spoke my meal away," i groaned.

"My delicious cooking," Min teased.

"Your delicious cooking," i complimented.

"I knew you were obsessed with my cooking," he said.

"No i am not, I just got to taste it," I argued. "I am sure our maids would cook better," i added and hid my face behind my palm when my stomach grumbled loudly.

"Your stomach says otherwise," he said and laughed. I ignored hm and marched to the kitchen. I decided to eat the leftovers and worry about dinner when it was time to worry about dinner, now I needed to calm my raging stomach. I placed rice and all the side dishes in one big microwavable bowl and microwaved it together. The microwave dinged and I pulled it out. I set it on the counter and sat on the bar stool.

    After I left the firm, I sent a text to Mom asking her to meet up, I thought she would refuse but she replied immediately and we met at a cafe. "On a sugar high today," I told her as I bit into the donut. "It's yummy," I said trying to convince her to eat something unhealthy. "No, coffee is enough unhealthy food for today," she said and sipped quietly, she watched me quietly and didn't urge me to talk. I thought she would, it was almost impossible to get my mom without her other half, my dad. "Aren't you going to ask why we're here?" I asked her. "It doesn't matter, I get to see my daughter outside all the hard love and arguing," she said with a smile. I missed my mom but I wasn't going to tell her that. I was going to continue with the hard love and family feud. Then why are you here I had caught on to someone trying to hurt their firm and I wasn't going to let that happen, they were already losing one child, and they weren't going to lose another.

    I and Agnes had gotten closer and it felt great to have a friend, she was such a great mom and wife. I still haven't met her kids up close but she talks about the with so much love, I wonder if mom and dad talk about me like this or just prefer to boss me and around and lock me up. Here I was talking to my friend and zoning into my thoughts, thinking I was rapunzel and I had let my hair down and welcomed Min, only I don't think he'll ever love me like Fin loved Rapunzel. I reminded myself to step out of my head and focus on the conversation that was happening between Agnes and June. We were in a cafe drinking coffee and just catching up. The cafe was homey and their coffee was great but I could make better coffee in my sleep. "Mei are you listening?" June asked and I nodded. She looked at me like she could tell I was lying but didn't comment on it. I really loved the feeling of freedom, I was making friends and having the best time of my life. "The coffee isn't that bad,"I heard Ag

    Min made picking an outfit really hard, he just had to tell me if he thought was I was wearing was beautiful or not but he couldn't answer, he kept saying everything was okay. "Just pick one Min," I groaned. "I am running late Mei, they are all perfect," he said. "Min," i groaned. I complained an tried three more outfits before he decided he like one better. "I like the white skirt and the black top," he asked finally. "Was that hard?" I asked him and went ahead to wear an army green top over the skirt. "Why did you need my help?" he asked me. "Wanted to know if you had a good sense of fashion but it's just basic," I accused him. I grabbed a bottle of water, went downstairs met Mr. Jiang and h drove me to the cafe. it was the same cafe I was in last week but this time I was here as an employee, it was not exactly something I expected but it was fun.

    There was probably a little alcohol in the meal I ate or as it the caffeine from earlier? I couldn't decipher where I got the courage to ask Min the question I asked him. He seemed to have not heard and if I kept quiet he was going to remember the question and I couldn't let that happen. "Do you want peas?" i asked."Peas?" he asked. "Yeah, chick peas, do you want that?" i asked. "Nope. I am pretty full and just want to sleep," he said. "We should probably sleep, it's been a hectic day but i don't think I can sleep," I tell him. "Why?" he asked me. "i might have drank way too much coffee," I answered. "Why?" He asked. "I had to taste everyone's coffee and made sure it tasted like it was made by me and that took a while," I explained. "Let's start with you soaking in a cold bath, it'll increase your body temperature and we can work from there," he said pushing me towards the bathroom. "But it's been a hectic day and i just want a warm bath," I lamented. "I'll make you warm,"

    I woke up the next morning feeling relaxed and well rested. I culdn't remember the details of the night but i knew i was in the tub with Min and he removed my bra. Immediately the image registered in my head, I jumped out of bed and touched my chest. There was no bra, no panties and I was in an oversized shirt that I do not remember getting into. Did he see me naked again? That was twice in less than a month. I got upset at the thoughts of it and went in search of Min. I needed a moderate flashing at least. I got to the living room and that was when i noticed that it was noon. How did I sleep through the morning and Min didn't think about waking me up. "Min," i called out but got no reply. I went to the kitchen and he wasn't there either. He never leaves the house without leaving a note or something to tell me that he was out or at least breakfast. except he was in a hurry r sneaking around like he did that day. I shook the thoughts out of my head, drank my morning cup of lemon wate

    Someone was actually listening to me, he cared that I wanted to ride a cart an he got me to ride in a cart when I was having a bad day, making tough decisions didn't seem bad now that it was yielding positive results. It didn't feel bad that he was not in love with me, at least he cared, listened and wanted to make me happy. "That was fun," i said to Min as we paid for our grocery. "I am happy I could make you happy, just a little gift to my pretty wife," he said and I blushed. He grabbed the two light bags and we walked out of the mall. "Should i help you?" I asked him. "No, it's fine, they are really light, we only got four things," he reminded me. The look on the receptionist's face when we wheeled in our empty cart to the checkout, we used the self pay to avoid any issue. "I'll call a cab," I offered. "No babe, let's enjoy the evening sun, it's still bright and safe," he said. "But the walk is long," I lamented. "No really, and I'm going to carry everything, you do

    The voice sounded familiar but i didn't know whose it was, Min turned around to be met with Quan. "Good morning," Min said and shifted his weight from one leg to another. I guess i was becoming heavier. I should have come down but I held on tightly, just to be safe and also not granting him permission to drop me, He made me go on this run now he must suffer the consequences alone. "Is everything okay?" Quan asked me. "What do you mean?" I asked. He looked at me and my position and I understood what he was implying. "went on a run with Min and my legs gave up on me, he made me run, now he has to carry me around," i explained. "Oh," he laughed and nodded in understanding. He opened the door leading to the lobby and I thanked him on behalf of I and Min. He walked with us to the elevator and we went to our floor together. I bade him farewell and did my possible best to input our password into the door and walk in. "You should have just let me open the door," Min said as he put me on t

    Min waited patiently behind the door and it made my choice easier, if he kept on bugging me to come outside, then he would have brought the big but he let me come out on my own. I unlocked the wardrobe and put my head out of the door. I found Min sitting on the bed and staring at me. Was he amused by my justified reach of bugs? I stepped out of the wardrobe when the coast was clear and looked at him. "What did you want to show me? I asked him. He brought his hand from behind him and I was tempted to run back into the wardrobe but I was trusting him. he brought out a bouquet of daisies and handed them to me. "Sorry for being so annoying earlier, I should have just explained it without yelling at you and pouring all my information on you," he apologized. I sniffed the daisies and hugged him. "Thank you for the flowers and the apology, it means a lot and I know I can be a lo sometimes but this is my first interaction with others. i grew up with my thoughts stuck in my throat, so i

    It has been a year since Mei died and I was starting to get used to her not being around. Although today that I remembered that she would have been alive with the bay and I, it hurts. Our daughter is a year old and she looks so much like Mei. Her hair is really long, it already reached mid back. She’s shy and lives the rose bushes. It seems like she’s a reincarnation of her mother. She plays around at her house. She also loves the rose vase where Mei’s things are being held. They gave me the rings and the locket and buried her like that. I have my daughter the locket but the rings were stored in the rose. I would make sure to keep it somewhere safe and away from Mei. It’s too precious to get lost. “Mei,” I called out to her. She ran down the stairs, stood in front of me and smiled. She was still wobbly and I always warned her not run down the stairs. She started walking three months ago and now she thinks running down the stairs is such an easy task. “Mei, I keep telling you to

    Maybe I should have told her to save her breath, I shouldn’t have let her tell me everything, but did I let her explain all her feelings? I know how she felt about me, she didn’t need to narrate our love story to me. She didn't need to tell me everything, but I sat down and listened for hours while she said everything. I felt like the worst person on earth as I watched her lay on the bed breathless and lifeless. She used to have so much life, so much joy, she was always so beautiful. I had the best thing ever but like everything else she was taken away from me. I tapped the call button immediately she closed her eyes but there was nothing they could do. I watched the doctors run around me and I just drifted from the space and went back into the time when it was just me and her. The first day I met her when she asked me to marry her. I was surprised by her confidence and it scared me. I loved how persistent she was and kept chasing me until I was signed to a contract that brought me

    The next morning, I woke up with the same pain that was now familiar but it hurt more. it felt harder to talk, to come up to words, my head was banging and I wanted it all to end, the pain, me. it was too much to handle. My radiotherapy was set for four and my drugs weren't helping to make me feel better. My head still hurt after taking two dosages of the pills. I stopped not wanting to overdose, although I already did. I was up before Mom, Dad, and Min and I couldn't sleep back although it was four am. I got out of bed and tried to come down from the bed. I lost my balance and before I fell, Min caught me. I smiled at him and fainted. When I woke up it was already afternoon and my radiotherapy session had been moved to the next day. I groaned when I found out. Can I get over the whole process already? It was starting to annoy me."Are you alright?" Min asked and I nodded. "My head hurts a little, it must have caused me to lose my balance," I explained to Min and he nodded. He touch

    I woke up and realized I was in the hospital. How did I end up here? The last thing I remembered, was hugging everyone goodbye, and Min and I were ready to go to bed. in smiled at me as I turned to look at him. He looked really stressed and tired. He looked like he hadn't slept in a long time. I touched the eye bags and frowned. He took my hand and kissed it. I looked and saw that I was connected to an IV drip. I never understood why we couldn't just drink all the contents but its name says it all; drip, there's only ever a drop every second, and it's so freaking slow. "What happened?" I asked Min. "you fainted and I rushed you here," he explained. I heard shuffling in the background and noticed my parents were also in the room. Everyone looked stressed like they hadn't slept all through the night. "I called your parents when I got here," Min informed me. "You didn't have to call them, I'll be fine," I tell him and try to clear my throat, the pain made it hard to talk but not as ha

    We returned to the condo the next day and decided we would move on Wednesday. Min had to be at the restaurant every day but he could take a break from Wednesday to Friday. The weekends were expected to be packed because the first day was a huge success and the men returned at six P.m. He had called me at least ten times today and each time he spent at least ten minutes talking to me. I kept asking if he didn't need to focus, and he said he had to and he was focusing on me. He was so cute and romantic and knew all the right words to say. He had come earlier to have dinner with me and had left the meal in the hands of his trusted chefs and the waiters that started working today. "Hey," I said when he walked in. “Hey baby, I missed you. Are you sure you don't want to come to the restaurant with me?" he asked me."What do you want me to do at the restaurant? I am not very cooking and I can't be a waiter, my baby wouldn't let me move around with that much ease," I told him. "Mei junior

    My parents left our apartment at ten p.m and I should have gone to bed but I wasn't sleepy and neither was Min. i decided it was best to open my gifts and decided to ask Min for help."Can you help me unbox my present?" Min shook his head refusing to help me. "But it's so stressful and I need your help," I whined and he looked at me. "Come on Min," I pleaded."Fine, but I won't unwrap the gifts with you, I'll just watch you and bring anything you need," he negotiated and I agreed to it. Min pulled the bean he had bought for me. We unwrapped all the gifts and they were so cute. They had bought me little baby things, most of the essentials I would be needing. There were napkins, blankets, a baby carrier and some few things.“See we don’t have to buy that many baby things,” I said to Min and he laughed.I picked up the last gifts which were my parents gift. It was paper and it was put in a brown envelope, there was no fancy design, just straight to the point. I opened the envelop and saw

    It seemed like my presence changed the atmosphere in the room because everyone turned in my direction and they looked surprised to see me there. I definitely wasn't dressed like them and I was a very pregnant woman. "Good afternoon," I greeted with a very wide grin."Who are you?" Someone asked. "The restaurant doesn't open until four," Someone else said. "Who left the front door open?"Another one asked. "You did, you were the last person outside," another said. "Oh," the door person asked. "Miss would you like to wait till the restaurant opens or are you going to return by four?" the curious one asked. "Oh! I am here for Min," I said feeling shy. "The owner?" The curious asked. "Yeah, he's my husband," I announced. I barely got to ask for him. again when I saw MIn walking in with his chef outfit. He looked so cute. Sorry handsome and all those masculine features. He looked at me shocked to see me here. "Hey," I said shyly. "Babe? What are you doing here?" he asked me. "I

    After my little announcement, everyone made a toast to Min and to the opening of his restaurant. He pulled me into him and drank from his glass. I smiled at him and he kissed my forehead. "You know Min steals all your brain cells with those forehead kisses right?" June asked and everybody laughed. "I actually feel smarter and more loved every time he kisses my forehead. are you sure he isn't just pouring his brain cells and love in my head?" I asked. "That's they get them all," June said. I loved June and how she made everywhere funnier when she had had a sip of her daily dose of coffee. She was standing in between my mom and dad and smiling at them. I could tell Dad was uncomfortable but he deserved the little torture for everything he has done to Min and I. Min might have let it slide by inviting Dad to my birthday but I'll need more than him coming here for me to forgive everything he's done. "Thank you all for the toasts and celebrating the restaurant but today's about m

    I remember telling Min my birthday date on his birthday, he had purposely not told me about his birthday, but I wanted him to know mine for it to be fair. I also barely got the chance to prepare or buy him a gift but I wasn't letting him do that to me, also Min makes the best surprises and they always blow my mind. He needed time for it to be more effective. I am also glad, I listened to my thoughts and told him earlier. He has been so busy, I doubt he has the time to do anything special for my birthday. If I hadn’t gotten the information from Cheng, I probably wouldn’t know Min’s birthday and that is wrong. I was going to give him the chance to feel this way so I told him about my birthday. I woke up feeling pumped about my birthday. I also spent all night praying that my hormones acted right. The last dinner on the roof was amazing but I ended up balling my eyes out for absolutely no reason. I had the best time after crying, but I wished I didn't have to cry. We watched a movie, a
