Chapter 75: Chapter 75

We’re finally home, after a long flight from Paris. Lena and I went to the Museum and travel around the city before we left. She took me to Musee de Louvre, I don’t even could spell the name well but that place was amazing, I’ve been there with my family too but that was a long time ago. Since I was a kid I’ve always like arts, I love painting and do crafts. “Baby, you’re done?” Lena says.

“Hold up! I make the bag!” I yell from our bedroom as I unpack the clothes and get the clothes back to the closet. Lena is waiting for me outside the bedroom, she was having a conversation on the phone with someone. It’s almost 6 PM here and we have to drive to my old apartment and meet Rosa for dinner. I haven’t meet Alison for a couple of months, she almost two and half years old now and she almost talks well.

“Babe, what makes you so long, it’s almost 6!” Lena grunts as she makes her way to the room, her face looking down at the phone in her hands. I was just done packing all the clothes back to the closet and I turn around, looking up at Lena who’s holding her phone. Her mouth corner was forming into a small but sweet smile. “Oh, my goodness! You look fabulous” She says as she shook her head, admiring my figure. “Do I?” I say, teasing her.

Lena chuckles as she gets closer to me who still standing next to the closet, holding a couple of hangers in my hands. “Yeah… you are!” She says, wrapping her hands on my waist. I laugh softly as knowing that my girlfriend is obviously crazy over me, she’s not my girlfriend anymore, she more likely a fiancée than a girlfriend to me. “Umm… my…” I cough softly. “Fiancee is finally giving attention to me…” I give her a look as I raise an eyebrow.

“I thought she was concerned about her work more than her pathetic fiancée in here” I say as I tucking my arms to her shoulders. Lena gives me a sweet smile but in a dirty way as she looking at me. “Oh, I got it!” She says, shaking her head. I raise an eyebrow and smirk, telling nothing but keep looking at her and wondering about what she’ll say after this. Lena tucking a piece of hair behind my ear, her other hand still wrapped on my waist.

“Your fiancée is maybe busy with her work, but she’s always ‘Be Yours Everyday’…” She says, running her hands through my hair and caressing it gently. “Is that with a quotation?” I laugh softly. “Yeah… it’s like B Y E but not ‘bye’ it’s more like an abbreviation” Lena says as she raises an eyebrow. I laugh softly as my eyes keep looking at her gorgeous deep eyes. “Well… I’d” I haven’t finished my sentence yet but Lena kiss me.

Her kisses this time is more likely the fairytale kiss, she helped me up from my old world and woke me up into the new world. Lena kisses me deeply and it reminds me of our first kiss which caused me to drown deep into her heart that night. “Well, we should go” She says as she caressing my hair gently and smiles. The sweetest smile just comes through her face and that making me blush, my cheeks are getting rosy as I keep staring at her.

“You look perfect tonight!” She says in a soft voice. I tell nothing but give her a smile, running my hand to her cheek and caressing it gently. “Hello Ma’am, they’re waiting!” Lena says, that causing me up from my fairytale thoughts. “Oh, Jesus! Sorry” I laugh softly, releasing myself from her and taking my bag on the table. “Okay, I’m ready” I say as I smoothing out my dress. “Alright then!” She chuckles.

We make our way downstairs and get ready to go. “Ughh… I can’t wait to see little bear tonight, she maybe walks! Or run! Or maybe she can call my name! Oh, God! I passed so much time without her!” I say excitedly as I get into the car. “Well, maybe… she will or maybe she literally knows how to unlock Rosa’s phone and watching cartoons on YouTube” Lena says as she turning on the car. “Jeez, babe… ummm that maybe… maybe she can” I say.

We drive for 20 minutes from Whitestone to Ridgewood and we reach the apartment at 7 PM. Lena pulls over the car and we walk through Rosa’s apartment which was actually mine. “Oh, God! I miss this place” I groan as I keep walking, my hand clinging tightly to Lena. “Same goes to me babe” She says. I knock the door and we waiting for Rosa to open the door. “Hey, finally!” Rosa hugs me, caressing my back and she hugs Lena after.

“Oh, God I miss you so much” Lena says as she hugging Rosa. “Have a seat” Rosa says. “Ahhh, thanks!” I laugh softly and we make our way to the living room. Lena and I sit on the couch, in our old living room. It still same, nothing changes. The table is perfectly still in the same place, the vase still next to the TV, the couch still cozy as usual. “Hey, Rosa… do I still have a room in here?” I yell from the living room. “Of course, idiot!” Rosa yells from the kitchen.

“Let’s see the room!” I say excitedly as I reach Lena’s hand which leans next to me. We both up from the couch and about to make our way upstairs, but we suddenly have guest here. “Hahaha…” Little Alison just made sweet giggling and running to us, she crashes my knees. “Oh, God! My baby! Be careful” I hug little Alison and carry her with me. “Hey, honey. Do you remember us?” I ask in a sweet voice. “Yes…” Alison says.

“Oh God, see! She’s talking” I say as I point my gaze to Lena in surprise. Lena laughs softly, she gives Alison a kiss on her cheek. “You’re the cutest human I’ve ever meet!” Lena says, she’s tickling Alison’s toes. Alison left a sweet laugh, but loud. “Hahaha… mommy… mommy” Alison says. “Lena, don’t!” I mumble as I off Lena’s hand softly. “Aww… babe! We’re just playing” Lena says. Alison stares at us and gives us a sweet smile.

“This is Lena…” Alison points her tiny index finger to Lena. “And this is…” She looks up at the ceiling and tried to remember my name. I hold my breath as I’m looking at little Ali in my hands, hoping that she will remember my name. “Mmm…” She grunts. “This is Maia!” Alison says excitedly. Lena and I laugh together, knowing that Alison is obviously teasing me. “You literally reflected to your mom” I laugh softly as I put Alison back to the ground.

She’s running to the kitchen slowly after. I stare at Lena in surprise with a little bit of confusion on my face. “Is that possible for 2 years old girl to talk clearly like that?” I ask as I scratch my head. Lena shook her head and chuckles “Yeah, but every kid has different main ability when they grow up, one of them could talk clearly but they always fall in every step they made, and one of them could run but their language cannot be understood” She explains.

“Well, I don’t know that before…” I nod as we continue making our way upstairs. “You may be understood if we have one” Lena says as she chuckles. “Gosh no!” I chuckle. “I mean… I like kids but having them… ughhh I have no idea what kind of hell that they’ll bring to my life oneday” I groan. Lena tells nothing but smile as she looking at me, we reach our old room and get into the room. “It’s still fucking same!” I surprise.

“Gosh, it reminded me of our first night in here! Do you remember when you stuck in this apartment because of rain and ended sleepover in here?” I say as I'm looking around the place. Lena laughs softly as she looking up at the ceiling. “Yeah… I remembered that” She smiles as she closing her eyes. “You know… I wasn’t took you here for dinner” I laugh softly as I heavily exhale. “I took you here because I like you” I admit.

Lena suddenly staring at me, she removed her gaze from the ceiling. “Really?” She asks curiously. “Yeah, of course stupid… think! How can a girl who gets punched in her face could invite you to her house for dinner if she didn’t like you!” I say. Lena laughs because she wasn't realize my motive, she shook her head knowing that I’m smarter than her. “You are such brilliant shifty woman I’ve ever known” She laughs softly, wrapping her hands against my waist.

“Mmm… well, you don’t know me well” I give her a smirk. “Whoosss…” She whooshing as she looks at me, her breath touching my face. “If I knew your motive, I haven't wasted my brain’s energy to find a way how to pursue you! You're brilliant!” She says. I laugh softly, my hands wrap around her shoulder, I running my face closer to her and about to kiss her before we leave. “Mommy…” Alison yells as she stares at us in confusion, she held a doll in her hands.

She stands in front of the door and stares at us. I off myself from Lena and smoothing out my dress, act like nothing happen. I make my way to Alison and grab her hand. “Hey, baby… would you like to walk me to the kitchen and see mommy there?” I say. “Yeah, come!” Alison says as she holds my hand, with a sweet baby voice within her voice. I point my gaze to Lena and give her a sign to come with us. We walk downstairs together and make our way to the kitchen after.
