Chapter 64: Chapter 64

Once again, the scorching sunrays of the morning sun send a wake-up call to me from my so-nonbelligerent sleep. And again, I am tightly and gently buckled up in the most lovable arms of my love—the place I would love to wake up in every single day of my life. In his embrace, and beside him, Mi Amor.

“Good morning to the most gorgeous woman in the whole world." Liam greets me as he combs my messy hair from my face with his fingers.

“Am I really the most beautiful one? There is no one else out there you can ever replace me with." I ask, snuggling closer in his embrace.

“I am absolutely sure. No one else can ever take your place. You are the apple of my eyes, my one and only, my heart warmer. Oh, my bad! I suck at this! Just know that you are my all! No one can ever take your place in my life.” He affirms.

“Not even when I will be looking like an elephant approaching the due date? Not even those moments when you will be required to do all the chores as I recover from giving birth? Not even when I will be looking like a mad woman chasing our five kids throughout the day and I forget to cook for you, iron your office suits, or even clean the house." I implore, and he smiles for the whole world.

I am sure he is trying to visualize me being all that.

He pokes my nose. “Not even at all that. Even in our old age, when there will be no single trace of a single strand of black hair on our heads, you will still be my one and only. My greatest love My beautiful Lynn My love for you will never waffle, no matter what.” He assures me, and I am sure and thrilled as a person taking a shower in the clouds.

I will make sure I love and trust him the way he does. I will never give him even a single reason to hate me. I will shower him with my sincere love, care, and understanding. He is my all. Until death do us part. Wait, no, no, no. Reprase that. Until eternity, because even in the afterlife, I will ask for no one else but him. It will always be him until the end of time.

“And I will never grow tired of loving you, mi amor. You are the only one I want. The only one I desire The only one that I will ever love.” I say.

“Not even when I am stuck in a quagmire of problems." He asks.

“I am still with you right now, ain't I? And I believe that once we pull through this, we will never have something as serious as this one ever again. But if ever it comes, I will still stick with you through it all.” I assure him.

“I think I am the most lucky person on earth. I have the best wife anyone could ever ask for. I love you so very much, Lynn. Never forget that.” He says.

“And I love you so much, Liam! So much.” I say, and we seal our promises and confessions in a sweet morning kiss.

“Why don’t we make breakfast together, huh?” I ask when we pull away.

“You don’t want me to be a gentleman and bring it for you in bed?” He teases.

Mmh! I know he can do that without any complaints, but I want to see him in the kitchen. Maybe we can roam around freely before the cat returns. I even miss that kitchen, for real.

“I miss the kitchen. Please? Just today. The next time we have this kind of luck, you can do the breakfast-in-bed thing.” I say.

“Alright.” He says this as he pulls me up. Without even asking, he walks to the closet and pulls out one of these fittings and pregnant-friendly stretcher dresses that he got me. He walks over to me and puts it on me, after which he dresses up. “Okay. Done. Shall we? My arms are available to lift you up to the kitchen.” He adds as he stretches his arms wide open.

I smile as I stand up and hug my small bump. “Thank you for the sweet offer, Mr. Lover Boy, but I would like to exercise my muscles a little bit. They are so stiff, you know what?" I say as I hug his hand with one of mine while the other remains on the belly, and we start out.

“Alright. But my offer is still up if you feel tired.” He says he is holding the door for me.

“I am relishing in loving you again.” I say as we walk down the long stairway.

He smirks before speaking. “Really? That’s so cheesy, according to me. I mean, I didn’t have much baggage back then, but now I have the entire world on my shoulders. How can you love this mess over that man from two years ago?” He asks.

“I get what you mean, but there is a tremendous change you have undergone these two years. I am so certain that if I got pregnant back then, you would not have made even a cup of coffee for me. You were such a lazy ass and opposed to doing chores. What was that phrase you used again? Yes, men are for the office, and women are made for the kitchen and all other chores. You hated doing any housework.” I say, and we laugh out loud.

“Come on! I wasn’t that much of a suck-ass! You are exaggerating. The fact is that I loved you so much even back then. I am certain I would have preferred to order you food and beverages instead of letting you walk into the kitchen.” He states, releasing my hand and hooking it around my waist.

“Okay. But that still confirms that I am right. You hated chores. You were indeed a lazy ass.” I add.

“I am not denying. But come on. You cannot expect anything less from some rich kid who was brought up as the only child in a Disneyland home. To make everything worse, I was a boy. Setting foot in the kitchen was like an offense.” He says that, and I know I cannot blame him for that. As the only child, his parents pampered him way too much.

“So, what changed? You could have opted to eat out and still manage extremely well even without all these tussles with kitchen stuff and subjecting yourself to the kind of life that you hated so much.” I ask.

“Well, I was challenged by the things you did for me back then. I felt the meaning of all that when I met a sick bitch who cared about nothing about me. Whenever I went hungry, I remembered all the delicious foods you made for me, and I tried changing in the ways you always advised me to. It was a way of keeping your memories alive. I still stink at it because, well, I didn’t pay any attention to the ingredients you used, but I try.” He says.

“That was so sentimental of you. I honestly thought you had forgotten all about me."

“And you realized that he never got over you? You just realized that you both can work your way to your disgusting happy ever nonsense?”
