Chapter 2

Angela

    I always get butterflies every time we have a sweet moment like this.

    "Oh, wait I got you something. I promise to myself, that I'll give this to you when we're on a beach. With candlelight dinner and everything. But, something happened and again, I'm sorry about that," from the closet I pull out a small wrapped box. And handed it to my dearest husband Sebastian, "Happy Tenth anniversary, Hon. Can't wait to celebrate more years with you. I love you," I said lovingly, I won't stop loving this man for my entire life. "I don't have an explanation as to how you always pull me in, you just do. You've always had a gravity that I've never been able to overcome. I always see myself drowning in your love, Sebastian. And I won't get weary I always love you. I hope you won't get tired of me too." I always say those sweet words to him. Cause' sometimes when I'm busy I want him to remember that I'll always love him no matter what.

    He looks at the box, and then at me. His gaze softened. "You shouldn't have," he says after taking the perfectly wrapped box. "Even without this...I-I always loved you, "When he opened the box his mouth drops open.

    "I've been looking at this watch for a long time. . .but this, this is too much. Hon," he protests while admiring the beauty of Patek Phillipe's limited edition watch.

    "No, don't say that. This," I pull the watch out, "this is for you. Although time is not refundable and I always waste it. But, I want you to know that at the end of the day, I always find time for the only man I love," I said with so much devotion.

    His features suddenly soften and he gave me the same intensity as I was giving. Love and affection.

    He holds out his wrist admiring it. "Is this so I can keep track of every time you are late or stand me up?" He teases. I can't help to roll my eyes at him.

    "I'm just kidding," he added. And gently kiss my forehead.

    "No, you're not." I tilt my head. I know he's not joking.

    He lowers his arm and returns his attention to me, placing his hands on my shoulder, running them down my arms. "You're right, but my love for you is bigger than all of this, Angela." He kissed me hard.

    Fire is burning between us. I can't get enough of his kisses even I'm run out of breath. His kiss is my definition of drugs I'll always be addicted to his luscious sinful lips. After untangling ourselves from a passionate kiss.  I gently pushed him away from me. I almost cracked up when I see how devastated he is.

    "Now, off you go. Let's go downstairs and prepare your breakfast. You need to eat," I said. And I put my right arm on his sides and gently tug him.

    "Yeah, I need some energy for Thomas later." He agreed.

    Together, we make our way down to the kitchen, a large and modern space with stainless-steel appliances, cream-colored cupboards, and granite countertops. And I rummage the refrigerator for fruit, sandwiches, and water. Some cereal for Thomas I set the table up and prepared our breakfast.

    "Hon, well you please call Thomas. It's a long way, although you'll travel by plane. Still, it's two or three hours. He needs to eat, his excitement won't fill his grumbling stomach," I told Sebastian whose busy with his morning thing.

    After he poured two cups of coffee, I heard him whispered "sure, thing." And I am startled when I feel his presence behind me with each hand on the countertop. He nuzzles and kisses my neck while pressing his pelvis into my butt. I giggled like a high school girl.

    "Hey, stop that," I said while laughing. "Now, go get Thomas and will eat," and then I commanded. "Before I eat you,"

    "Yes, Honey. Mind you I'll be glad to be your special meal," I heard him crack up. And walk out of the kitchen.

"Sure thing, honey. Sure thing," I replied halfway shouting.

    I let out a sweet smile. This kind of morning is picture-perfect, the kind of morning I love the most.

    I heard a loud noise came closer to the kitchen. And I can't help to laugh at the scenario. Sebastian, carrying Thomas on his right shoulder, while his left arms keep on tickling our son.

    "Daddy, stop that. I'm a grown-up man already. S-stop," Thomas said while laughing and run out of breath.

    "No, your not. I'm a monster, and I'm gonna eat you, roar!" Sebastian said playfully.

    "No...no, mum help!" Thomas cried out. While trying to get rid of his father's fingers.

    "Roar...no! I'm the real flesh-eating monster. I'll eat you both, roar." I said animatedly by putting my two arms up as if I'm a real monster. "Cookie Monster is here."

    Sebastian and Thomas yelp and run around the dining table. And I Chase them still doing the monster pose. We played and laugh until we run out of breath.

    "Mum, stop tickling me I'm tired," Thomas mumbled while catching his breath.

    "I love you, sweetie," I lovingly said to my son and kiss his cheek.

    "Love you to mum," Thomas replied and kiss me on my lips. He sure is the sweetest boy I'll only love.

    "Come on, let's eat. We still have a plane to catch," Sebastian announced. Thomas felt excited about the news and runs to his chair and starts digging his food.

    "You're excited, huh," I said while pouting. "Don't forget to call me, when you get there okay? You both still here, and I felt lonely already. I just have to finish this quick and enjoy the sun's heat with you, boys."

    "Yeah, finish that quick and be with us,"

    "I'm excited, mum," 

    Me too, I'm excited. I said to myself, and we eat happily while savoring our food. And later on, I bid goodbye to the two of them with a heavy heart. I almost tear up a little, I want to be with them but Mr. Takahashi sucks. I Shoved the hateful feeling towards the old man. And I start to clean up myself and prepared to leave the house.
