ADELE "I like you both the same way and in the same quantity", I said and they both smiled. "But not up to the way I like my husband", I added thoughtlessly but the smile that appeared on Chris's mother's face was indeed priceless. She looked like she had gotten all she had ever wanted in the world. "Uhm- can I get your attention, please?", the master of the ceremony suddenly said, getting all the attention of the people in the room, and everywhere went silent instantly. "Introducing the new Chief Executive Officer of the most popular appliances-making company in the country", he continued after everyone has their gazes on him. "Christopher Marvin!", he announced and Chris appeared on stage with a microphone in his hand, earning thunderous applause from everyone, including myself. "Good day everyone. I am Christopher Marvin", Chris started and everyone cheered him on with claps once again. "I just wanted to thank you all for coming out-", he started but the words seem to go

ADELE I can boldly say the dinner I had with Chris this evening was the worse dinner I have had with him since we started living together. He just served me my food and walked out, he did not even have anything. So, I guess I had dinner all alone. I would admit to the fact that I am still angry at him but he looks annoyed too and that is somehow making me more furious at him. I mean, I am the one who is supposed to be that angry at him. He had spewed that nonsense right to my face and I just acted how I saw fit. My head turned sharply towards the door when it sounded and I saw Chris walk in. I had not seen him since he served me dinner and I had taken my shower already, preparing to sleep. He headed towards the shower immediately after he came in and I pushed myself comfortably under the duvet as well. Even I do not have the time to banter with him again this evening. I had started falling asleep when I felt the bed go down due to Chris's weight. I want to tell him not to sle

CHRISTOPHER Adele is standing in the doorway with a solemn look on her face. Wait, did she hear what I discussed with Mom or not? Her expression is not giving anything away! "I was wondering", she started talking and I gulped. "Do you want to go in the pool- with me?", Adele's voice came softly at the end of her sentence. I looked down at my hands in relief. I don't think she heard anything. I raised my head back to reply to her. "Uh- no?", I asked as I squinted my eyes at her. "Oh! Okay then", Adele replied before turning around and leaving. The door to my study room closed loudly and I jumped a bit. God, I feel so uneasy right now. I would give anything to go in the pool with Adele but I have to get myself together first. I need to think of how to react to her like before, such that it won't seem too sudden and it won't seem strange as well. I ran my hand through my hair as I tried to think straight and then- "Gbam!", I heard a thud sound come from outside and all of

CHRISTOPHER I shut down my computer before looking up at the lady sitting a few meters away from me and a smile appeared on my face instantly. I bent my head a little bit to look at what she was drawing and I smiled when I saw it. A cute little cat. The way she manages to add every little detail to her drawings is very captivating. They always look so real when she is done with them. I am suddenly reminded of that drawing I had seen. I should talk about it. "Adele?" I called out to her and she hummed. Her head suddenly snapped back to look at me, all her focus directed at me. "Yeah?" She asked again when I had not spoken up. "I was thinking," I started with a gulp. I hope she agrees to this. "do you want to visit the park sometime with me?" I asked and her eyes widened at me almost instantly. "What? Why?" She asked with all but wide eyes and I gulped uncontrollably. "I just-" I started as I thought of what to say. I can't possibly tell her that I had gone through her d

ADELE Chris drove silently to the park while I hummed continuously from where I sat. "Are you that happy?" Chris's suddenly asked me and I turned my head to look at him. "You have no idea," I replied with a chuckle before turning to face the road. "What if I had not suggested it to you then?" He asked and I sighed. "You can always tell me when you want to do something," Chris's started and I turned my head to look at him, "I hope you know that." "I know," I started before moving my left hand towards his chin and pushing it slightly. "now, face the front and we won't have an accident." Chris chuckled at my words and I smiled widely at what just transpired between us. I am growing fonder of Chris as the days passed. I am starting to get scared of it. ~ We finally arrived at the park and we got down from the car. To think I would be visiting the park after all that happened last year is surprising. "Shall we?" Chris asked as he extended his right hand toward me. I did not
