"Honey is that you"I hear my wife's weak voice say from the hall.
I hang my coat on the rack and walk inside to find her lying on the couch tiredly.
I walk and sat beside her,I helped her sit down and took her hands into mine.
"So how did it go?Did you get the job?"she asks tiredly with hope in her eyes. I kiss her hands and hair before smiling.
"Yes. I got the job!"I say excitedly.
"Oh. Thank God. I was so worried because you were late and it was because of the kids" she says with a content sigh.
"Yeah. I was lucky, the personal assistant had to intervene on my behalf " I tell her.
"Aww God bless her for that. I wish I had the strength to bake to for her as an appreciation" she smiles weakly.
"Yeah,I have to start on Monday and she was generous enough to give our children a scholarship in their school. Now we can hire the nurse for you" I tell her
"No,no,I told you I can handle myself and the kids. I don't want to be weak" she reasons.
"You are not weak. You are a strong woman,my strong woman. I love you so much and I want you to get better for the kids and I " I tell her.
"Thank you so much. I love you too" she says her eyes glistening.
"Infinity times infinity " we say together before kissing each other.
"I'll start preparing dinner before the kids arrive "I tell her before walking to kitchen.
She lays back on the bed and I let out sigh before rubbing my head.
My wife has been diagnosed with leukemia for a year and has been on chemo for while now. We run low on money for a short while,so she had get off it.
That is why I needed the job so badly. I would have begged on my knees Infront of my boss for the job.
But I thank God the boss was kind enough to give me a second chance.
The lady tho,she was very young to be running the company but I thought her father was the CEO.
Her eyes were captivating and she looked beautiful, I'll give her that but I love my wife and I wouldn't trade her for anyone in the world.
I begun chopping my vegetables to begin dinner.
After an hour or two,I was done and I heard the front door open.
"Daddy we are home, where are you?" my eldest daughter , Annalise yells through the narrow hall way.
"I'm in here Sweety" I yell back and I heard their footsteps approach.
They entered after a few seconds later and she comes to hug my side along with her sister.
Annalise was 11years old and Piper my other daughter was 9 years old. We had them at a very young age.
"How was school today?"I ask setting up the plate on our mini dinner table.
"It was fun, but we were called to go to the principal's office"Annalise says
"Why? Did you do anything bad?"I ask
"Nope. Principal Jerkin says we have been given a scholarship by a very generous woman" Annalise says putting a grape into her mouth.
"Well that is because daddy has gotten a new job and the lady boss is willing to cater for all our expenses, so now we can have enough money to hire a nurse for your mom to get better" I tell them and they jump up excitedly.
"Thank you,thank you, thank you daddy. We can finally be a happy family again"Annalise says and Piper nods her head in agreement.
"Wait. You guys thought we weren't a happy family? why?" I asked surprised.
"Well it is not that daddy,it is just that,you were always thinking and looking for a job to take care of us and mommy was also weak and couldn't do anything we didn't have anyone to play with us. Like how we did back in the UK" Annalise says with sadness.
I bring them in for a hug,I didn't know my daughters were going through so much pain.
"I'm sorry for letting you go through this pain but I promise once your mom gets better,I'll quit my job and we'll move back to England so we could happy again. I'm so sorry" I whisper to them with tears falling from my eyes.
Piper wipes the tears and kisses my cheeks,
"Don't cry daddy. We love you" she whispers
"I love you guys tooo. So much" I tell them.
"Okay,we are going to greet mummy, then take our bath before dinner starts" Annalise says before breaking from the hug and leaving to the living room.
I let out a tired sigh and rubbed my hair. I have to make my daughters happy.
..................................................."Please be careful and call everyday"my wife says whiles hugging me.
Today is finally Monday and I'm leaving to start my work. I finally hire the nurse and my wife begins chemo again today.
I look to see my girls crying,they didn't want me to leave but they understood it was for a good cause.
"Come here babies"I tell them with an open hands and they run into it.
"I'll miss you guys so much, remember to take care of your mom for me and don't hesitate to call me okay "I whisper to them they nod.
"We love you daddy. Please think about us"they say in unison.
"Ofcourse I will. I love you all too"I say and stand up.
I walk closer to my frail looking wife and kiss her tenderly on the lips.
"I love you "I whisper against her soft lips.
"I love you too"she whispers back holding my cheek tenderly.
I kissed her forehead one more time before taking my duffle bag and walking out the door.
"Bye "they shout in unison and I wave back at them as I got into the taxi.
I sold my car a month ago to buy groceries for my family.
I give cab driver the direction to my destination.
Hoping for the best

Three weeks has passed since Flynn and I argument and I haven't spoken to him since.After I stormed out of the house and went to my parents, pouring out my heart to my mom,who consoled me afterwards and baked me some cookies just like old times,I went back home.Everywhere was silent and things got awkward between Grayson and I. I was embarrassed he had to witness my husband and I arguing over him.Flynn tried to apologize on so many occasions but I didn't give him the time of the day. I was stubborn and I wouldn't let it slide easily.I don't sleep in the same room as him. I always leave the house before he is awake and I take breakfast to work.Mira hasn't spoken anything about me being dull at work although she suspect something had happened but she hasn't said a thing and I'm grateful.Grayson still takes me to work and bring back home.

The party has been going on for hours and it is getting boring each passing second.I left Flynn side when my dad came and started talking business with him and I haven't seen him since. I keep walking around greeting the guests with fake smiles.I'm honestly really tired,I wish I could go home and sleep just like my brother did.He only gave the excuse of Esperanza being sick to go home. Probably to F*CK her.I then spot Grayson and Erica standing behind the piano talking.I walk towards them hastily to avoid talking to anyone else."Why aren't you guys socializing?" I asked looking between the two."Oh we are actually fine here. Erica was actually giving me a quality time telling me about her experience in Ohio" Grayson says with a smile and somehow I feel hurt and disappointed and jealous.I wanted to be the one he has quality time with not my help/friend.I think Erica sense the mood I was in so she immediately cleared things up."He is just joking..I was only telling him about

Saturday mornings are my favorite, because I basically do nothing at all. Most of the time I go to the spa to relax.Sometimes Flynn and I go to my parents retort beach to spend the weekend.But today is not one of those days. Today I am going to learn how to cook. I have always wanted to be one those pretty girls who cook for their husbands and bring them homemade lunch at work. My mom is an example of those women,I think it is part of the reasons my dad loves her so much.I didn't learn how to cook because I was invested in my education and didn't want to miss out on my teenage years. That is why today I asked Erica to be my teacher. Her meals are pretty good and she was willing to teach me.Well I bribed her with this new Chanel bag she has been wanting for ages and it was completely sold out."Okay so today we are going to start with some basic break fast. Scrambled eggs and sausage with bacon. Plus pancakes" she says showing me her ingredients.Flynn is out with his friends an
