2024-10-29 19:42:56Just as predicted, it turned out to be a very busy day at the office. Stanley had meetings with a number of clients, his business partners and his lawyer.
The staff of Chatwin's Inc were also nice enough to surprise Stanley with cakes and gifts during lunchtime.
Despite how busy Stan was, Lauren made sure he had his lunch. It was his day and the best thing that could happen was for him to break his two meals per day rule.
It wasn't a rule that he intentionally made but due to stress and all other pressure around the company, Stanley hardly remembers to have lunch.
The day went by pretty fast and soon enough it was time for him and Lauren to go home.
Lauren walked into Stanley's office with both her handbag and laptop bag. Stan was seated on a chair behind his desk and he was on the phone. He gestured for Lauren to come sit on his lap and she did just that.

"So which of my old pictures do you like the most?" Stanley picked Lauren up in a bridal style and made his way towards the staircase that leads to his room.She wrapped her arms around his neck. "Hmm, well I loved them all but I think my favourite was the picture where you had nothing but only your tiny diaper on. You had a very big smile on your face which showed your two front teeth and dimples."Stan chuckled, "You must be kidding. That's like the most hilarious photo. I was barely a year old then. I wonder why mom captured that.""Anyways, I loved them all. I was happy to see your throwback pictures. I'm proud of the man you've become.""Thank you!" He said proudly."I hope you had fun tonight?"

She smiled at him."Good morning my love, " Stan responded.He kissed Lauren on her forehead, gave her a kiss on her lips and then sat opposite her."Apart from the fact that you looked peaceful when you were asleep, you also looked tired so I allowed you to sleep more.""Feeling better?" he asked concerned.She intertwined her hand with his. "I'm fine Stan. Just a little sore but it's nothing to worry about."He smiled sadly. "Sorry, I should have been more gentle."Lauren blushed, "Don't be silly. I was the one who couldn't stop asking for more.""Thanks for giving me a memorable night."

Continuation....Stanley leaned closer to Lauren. "I want to introduce you to someone.""Okay?!" Wrenny answered, unsure."I never told you about him because he's a jerk, " Stanley said sincerely."And you still want to introduce me to him?" She asked.Stanley scratched the back of his neck. "Well, Despite the fact that he's a jerk, I'll say he's like the closest friend I have next to you, Anita and probably my parents.""He was my roomie in college and he runs his company in New York that's why we hardly see but we keep in touch. We have long calls or facetime whenever we are both free.""Jake is one hell of a womanizer.

"Babe, I think you should give buying me jewellery a pause. I have so many of them which makes it difficult for me to pick which one to wear whenever we have events to attend." Wrenny said to Stanley as he put her hair aside to hook her necklace for her.Stanley chuckled. "Wait till you see what I got you. I mean as your wedding gift."Stanley!"

On weekdays, Lauren usually wakes up before Stanley. She would have read her Bible and prayed, picked out Stanley's outfit, reached out to the chef on what she and Stan wanted for breakfast, before waking Stanley up at 6 by showering kisses all over his face.But that was not the case this morning as Lauren was a bit under the weather.Around 2 am in the morning, Stanley noticed Lauren was shivering while cuddling against him. The air conditioner was at a normal temperature and they were both properly covered with a duvet.He panicked and felt her temperature with the back of his palm, he noticed her body was warm which was sort of a relief but he was still worried because she was shivering."Wrenny, my love." He shook her lightly."Babe?!" He called, before placing a kiss on the crown of her head.She tiredly opened her eyes.

Lauren heaved a huge sigh as soon as she approached the guest room that Stanley was. She knew he was there because that particular guest room was his next favourite room in his house after the master bedroom and peanut's room.It was as if Stanley had foreseen that there would be times he and Lauren would have a disagreement that would prompt them to stay in separate rooms so Stan made Lauren design that particular bedroom to his taste.Wrenny softly connected her fist against the door and knocked three times. She waited for a reply but heard nothing.Fresh tears welled up in her eyes again. In reality, she had started to have a headache because of how much she had cried but that was nothing compared to the pain she was feeling in her heart. (Stanley was angry with her and it was all her fault)She knocked again."Stanley, Please open up.""I'm sorry for ever
