Chapter 72: Chapter 72

This cunning man, how could he be some cunning? Alexia said inwardly, as she looks at Beck.

Fine, that is what you want, then let's go have a flyer carrying her picture, we could distribute around that area, and make the announcement on television and other, social media pages so we could have a broader audience to cover.

It's perfect, I think I have her picture. She grabbed her phone, only for the reminder that her father and her mother's marriage anniversary is coming up. Oh shit!

What happened? Beck asked.

I totally forget, my parent's marriage anniversary is coming up in two days.

Do you want to go get them a gift, I could go with you. Beck suggested, Alexia look at him, she wasn't expecting Beck to want to go look for a gift for her parents with her. She realized that she haven't given anything to Beck as a gift as well.

No, I will go myself, I don't want to waste your time.

Beck looks at Alexia, he understands that she might be thinking that, it will be a waste of his time, for a General to be seen buying a gift.

Come on wife, it's not a waste of time. Beck speak.

Wife? That was fast, I have forgotten that we are now husband and wife. I blushed at the fact that I am now wearing his ring, not just his ring but his heart now belongs to me.

Do you want to go with me to my parent's anniversary? Alexia asked he grinned, which show he will love to go with her if she invite him. Do you want me to come? Beck asked if she was expecting he will say he is busy and won't come, right now it was too late because she can't say no, it will mean she doesn't want him to.

And it will not be a bad idea if she used the opportunity to introduce him to her family, they are now married, and it's only right for them to attend family functions together. When Beck didn't get another reply, he look at her. What do your parents like? She paused for a while, she hasn't gotten her father anything on their anniversary, and the only person that she had made an effort to buy stuff for was her mother, she love expensive jewelry and anything that will make her beautiful and outstanding, while her father is not the picky type, anything will be fine but still, she wanted it to be special and something her father will appreciate.

Maybe, a coffee mug, the set to be specific, those coffee set are old and needed to change.

That sounds good.

Alexia look at Beck, as he commented on her words, turned his car, and drove to one of those expensive and exquisite coffee set shops, Beck looks classic things and all classic things are expensive.

Alexia's eyes roam around all corners of the shop before she finally made her choice, coffee brown coffee set. Yet the price is disturbing to her, Prime Minister Lee had frozen her account and she is not allowed access to her account till she decided to marry Bernard, she frowns and wonders how Bernard is, she hasn't talked to him since that night incident, she frowns at her thoughts.

I think this is perfect. Beck's voice distracted her, she look at the set in his hand, they are beautiful, fancy, and classic then again the price tag is disturbing to her, she open her purse and found out that she couldn't afford it before she asked for something less expensive, Beck had dropped his credit card on the counter.

It's only right that your husband pays for your bills. Alexia couldn't help but blush whenever he called her wife or refer to himself as her husband, he is all she wish for, and she hope that their marriage will remain the same even in years to come, even when they are old and grey and she had lost her memories, she wanted just one thing, that, their love me er dies, it should stand the test of time.

Don't you think, it will be unfair if the gift comes from you? Alexia asked as soon as she realized that, Beck paying for the gift will mean that, he is the one who gifted her father that.

Have you forgotten that they say the two shall become one? Alexia smiled at how cunning Beck had become and her smoothness is used of his words. After getting the gift, Alexia could notice that Beck seems to be sighing a great deal on their ride home.

What is it? Is everything fine? She asked.

Will my wife get mad, if I drop her off at the penthouse and then go fix some stuff?

Is it urgent? Alexia asked, he nodded and then show her the text, she frown but quickly replace it with a nice smile, she understands that Beck is a soldier and his attention is needed right now, she can't be selfish, if there is anyone that understands Beck, Alexia should be the one, she is the one also in the military and if Beck didn't risk his life for her, she might never have met with Beck and dream of having that one man that will make her heart dance to the hummingbird, would have remained a dream, not a reality.

Yes, I promise to...

It's fine, I will wait for you at the penthouse and please be careful, and husband you should know your wife wait for you at home. Beck grinned hearing that Alexia refer to him as a husband.

Why are you smiling? She asked, he couldn't hold his happiness inside, he just let his thoughts out.

It's because I have no idea that, one day, someone will call me husband, I hope I could be a good husband.

Of cause, you will be a perfect one, if you could care for someone that, you don't know, then you could be a perfect husband to the one, you love. Alexia claim his lips the moment her last words left her mouth, they battle with their tongue for a while, Beck's hand roam her body, they were already in the parking lot of the penthouse, Beck just backed his car and enjoy the warmth from Alexia's touch and kisses.

Wife, we should stop right now, I might not be able to leave you, if you keep greeting me like this.

Alexia laughed at his words and alight from his car, she wave goodbye to him, as she blushed over how crazy she had become, Beck turn his car and drove off, he needed to pick Jesse and May, but his grandfather had told him that, May is indisposed so she will not be going with the rescue team.

Back in Jesse's quarter, he too had noticed that Angel doesn't want to see him, as he groom himself to meet up with Beck, he had gone outside, he realized he forgot something, so he had to return to his quarter, only to found her with her bag.

Hey, what is going on? Jesse asked, his voice almost cracking, he was sounding like a broken record.

I am leaving.

Are you leaving me?
