Our Eternal Love

WHAT'S NEXT

I opened my eyes only to see Calvin sleeping beside me. I was facing him now. I couldn’t stop but adore him. That’s what I always do. It’s like a routine. Adoring him and his beautiful face. I know I acted immature and sloppy but that’s who I am sometimes. I am bad at taking decisions when I am this upset.

It was midday now and we were still in bed, all tired from our previous activity. That was good though. Gathering all my energy I slid down the covers and woke up from bed. I walked over to my bathroom to clean myself. I couldn’t focus on anything as I was still thinking on how I will convince Calvin that I’m not gonna join back. That’s gonna need one hell of a convincing.

I came out of the bathroom in my bathrobe while Calvin was still sleeping. He must be really tired with all the things that happened yesterday. He never sleeps so peacefully on weekdays. So I thought about surprising Calvin with an amazing lunch. A few days ago I heard him say that he loves french cuisine besides italian so I planned on cooking chicken fricassee and a traditional french salad. I googled all the recipes on my iPad. I was craving brownies so I got the recipe for that too. 

Chicken fricassee was ready now and brownies were in the oven. I wanted to make salad fresh, ready to eat once Calvin wakes up. I was checking the brownies when I heard Calvin.

“You can ace any look, be it a bathrobe one.” Calvin kissed me on the cheek.

“Well, thankyou. You are no less yourself.” I said.

“So what’s cooking?” Calvin said inhaling the aroma around him.

“I have a surprise planned for you, boy.” I said excitedly.

“I should be the one doing that for you.” He said.

“You have plenty of time to do that. I’m here.” I looked into his eyes.

“I’m not gonna let you go anywhere, even if you want to.” Calvin said holding me from behind.

“I am sorry I left you like that. I really am.” I said. He tightened his grip around me.

“Don’t be. It’s all in the past.” Calvin said

“So, you not gonna tell me what you making?” He said.

“Patience baby. You’ll get to know in a few mins. You go sit on the island chair and wait.” I gestured.

“Okay mam.” Calvin joked.

The brownie was ready now and the salad too. The salad I made was basic french so it had a lot of greens, basic veggies, tune which thank goodness we had in our freezers. And other required ingredients.

I set the island and grabbed two coke cans with me.

“Okay, now can you tell me?”

“I made french food for you. I remember once you told me about how much you loved it.”

“You do pay attention to every single thing I say. And I love that. And YOU.” He kissed me on lips this time.

“Love you. But but let me introduce you to what all I made.” I said like a child.

“Okay.” Calvin rubbed his palms and made yum noises.

“So this is Chicken Fricassee, that’s traditional french salad and here’s the brownie. It’s American with a little taste of france.” I laughed.

“Also here’s our drinks.”

“How long did I sleep, Soph?” Calvin asked.

“An hour more than me , I think.”

“That’s a lot for me.”

“I know. You were really drunk last night when you came here.”

“And now I’m hungry babe.”

“Oh, sorry. Here, let me put it.”

I opened the coke and emptied into the glasses.

“Hey, what are you doing?” Calvin asked me.

“Putting the coke in glass. Why?”

“Babe what are we , six? Put some damn wine girl.” Calvin laughed out.

“Calvin you are still hungover from last night’s excessive drink session. And I’ve drinking wine a lot past two days. So we both should cut back a little you know.” I explained.

“You’re strict.” Calvin scowled.

“And so you need to follow my rules. Else I’ll punish you.”

“Howwww?” Calvin’s eyes popped out.

“Shut up and eat.” I laughed out.

“On it sir.” Calvin said.

He’s the best just best.

“Sophia this is heavenly. How are you so perfect?”

“Thank you. I’m so happy you liked it.”

“I love it. And now that I’ve tasted your french food I’m not gonna go to any french restaurant in the big Apple.”

“I’d be happy to make it for you.”

After we finished with our lunch, Calvin had some work to do which he finished with. And I on the other hand was still stressing on how I will convince him about me leaving.

I cleaned up my room. Since it was messy. I called Emma and told her that Calvin was home and that we made up. She was more than happy. Calvin came in my room and told me that he asked his driver to grab some clothes from his apartment and for now too.

He asked for my laptop as he had to check his mails so I gave him. A while later his driver Jackson came with some of his stuff. I settled them in my cupboard.

“Listen you need to keep your clothes in my apartment too.” Calvin said.

“Yeah. I’ll keep them the next time I’ll go there.

“Great.”

With this I sat next to him on the bed waiting for him to finish his work.

“Sophia, can I stay here tonight too?”

“Of course Calvin. I love it when I wake up next to you. You can stay here whenever you want. Although your apartment is so royal that I’m embarrassed sometimes.”

“But I feel like home in your apartment. I feel home where you are. My royal apartment is as empty as it could be.”

“We could do one thing though. So here it goes. However busy we are , we are gonna stay at atleast two nights at each other’s apartment every week. What say?” I asked.

“Amazing. As usual the queen of great ideas.” Calvin said.

“Great.”

“So what’s your plan for the night.” Calvin asked.

“What plan?” I asked.

“What are we gonna do. Let’s go somewhere out. Downtown. Have a walk and street food as you like.”

“Okay, let’s do it.” I said.

“Calvin, you know we need to address the elephant in the room some time. You can’t avoid it.”

“What elephant?” Calvin said.

“Calvin.” 

“I know we’ll talk about it. Let’s talk at night.” He said.
