"Uhmm..." I look at both boxes and have no idea which one should I open first. I play a little game in my mind which lands on the big box first. I'll then go with that one. I go on my knees and tear apart the gift wrapper.
Finally getting done I open the box to find a cute little ginger kitten asleep. "Vally, you almost suffocated it.. Why didn't you put some holes around for air" I say picking it up and give it a little kiss on the forehead.
"It would have made noise and spoiled the whole surprise" he says feeling absolutely nothing. This guy has got no heart. "But you like it right?" He asks looking abit shy which makes me blush. Okay okay I change my statement he does have a heart that's full of love and all that love is for me.
"Of course I do.. I've never owned a pet my whole life so yeah I love it. Thank you" I say patting the little kitten.
"He better not make dirt in this house cause I'll then throw him away" he says standing up and going to the kitchen.
"How do you know it's a He?" I ask him. It's very difficult to know the gender and I was probably thinking it's a girl. "Wait a minute, you never did fight with the keeper did you?" I ask him. He comes back to the lounge with a cup full of water.
"I had to get a boy cause a girl will Fucking make babies which means we'll have another bloody responsibility.... and yeah I did throw in a few punches here and there but it was worth it" he says drinking finished the water. I knew something had happened. With that temper of his it's a must to throw punches.
"Now the next one" he comes to me giving me the small box wrapped up in Christmas wrappers. I really want to laugh cause it's far from Christmas but then he'll feel like I don't appreciate all his hard work and might as well lose his temper which is something I don't want.
It doesn't take long to open this one. "Wow, Vally I love it" I say holding up keys with a V as a key holder design. He then takes out his and it's a B.
"Welcome home cake" he says and I put down the kitten before jumping in his arms to a point where he almost falls.
I really love everything he has done for me. I'm not getting over him anytime sooner. This what we have is forever. "Okay, I'm hungry. Go make me some food" he says and I realise that I've been hugging him for the past few minutes. I break off and kiss his cheeks before going to the kitchen and get into cooking.
After supper I go and take a shower. "I was thinking of a name while in the shower and I came up with one" I tell Vally whose laying in bed while busy on his phone.
"And?" He says not looking at me.
"Sam" I say happily but he doesn't mind. I jump in bed with him and try peaking in his phone but he switches it off and puts it on the nightstand. That feels a little not nice but ill just let it slide.
"You Fucking insane. We'll decide tomorrow, now I just want to cuddle" he says pulling me closer that my back Is against his chest.
"Thank you for everything Vally" I say rubbing his hands and locking them with mines. I am so grateful for him. He is changing my life slowly and is making me realise the other blessings of this world.
"It's just the start of your everlasting happiness" he says in a sleepy voice.
"I was at Nat's today" I say locking my fingers with his. Our hands are so perfectly fitted that I'd swear they were made for each other. I'm sure God made me with him at the same time. Just made him more attractive and me more brainy.
"Was it nice?" He asks softly. I know his tired but I just want to spend a few minutes with him and find this opportunity to talk to him about Lorraine. "Yeah, it felt good to be back home" I say. He doesn't answer me and carries on remaining silent.
"You should go visit Lorraine and see how nice it feels like to be back in a family home" I say. I hope he won't argue with me because we have been having good times lately. I just know what it feels like for someone you love to forget you.
"I don't know okay" he groans and I turn over to look at him as he lets me go.
"You should, she must be missing you so much" I say and mean it. I had seen her sad face the day before I had moved and it was something nobody should go through.
"And your father also must be missing you" I say sitting up straight as he lays and stares at the ceiling. I feel as if I have taken him away from the most important people in his life and it's unfair. He grew up with them as much as I grew up with Natalie.
"The fuck he does. All he ever does is sit at home and drink his fucked up life away" he says getting upset by the mention of his father. I really don't want to fight so I just kiss him goodnight and sleep.

"I got a name for him...... drum rolls please" Vally says and I pretend to be hitting the drum with the table and the fork as drum sticks.
"Vabri" he says and I just can't help but laugh. It would have been better if it was our baby but now a pet with our abbreviation is just so out of this world.
"Vally + Brittney = Vabri" he says and I just give him a thumbs up for doing a good job. He stands up and feels himself. "Credit goes to you hey. That was a good job" I say taking out the plates from the table.
"I'm leaving for work now" I shout out to Vally as I take my keys. He comes out from the bathroom and gives me a hug. "Think about it though" I say and smile at him before leaving for work.
"Someone's early" Kristen says following me to my office. I put down my things and take a seat.
"Good morning boss lady" Jeven comes in and takes a seat next to Kristen. My two therapy mates.
"Vally has not visited his family ever since he moved out. I feel very bad because it's like I have stolen away the other piece of the family" I say. His little niece must be feeling disowned as he hasn't seen her. They have a strong bond just like mines and little Reece.
"Did you talk to him about it?" Kristen asks.
"Yes I did and it just won't budge him" I say looking away. I really wish I won't be the cause for his family breaking up even worse.
"Give him time. He'll come around" Jeven says shaking his head to support his statement. That's the only advice you'll ever receive from Jeven. I don't even see a need to tell him my personal problems.
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever" I say and get to working.

The rest of the day goes fast and now I'm in the garage back home. I come out leaving my files in there as it's much easier.
I go upstairs and open the door. "Vally" I call out but nobody comes. I feel something surround my legs and I look down to find vabri. Poor little kitten got taken away from his parents just to stay with people he doesn't even know.
"Hey baby. Where's daddy?" I ask him getting a meow while patting his fur. He must be hungry and scared since we all left him alone, so I pick him up and take him to the kitchen. We never yet buy him cat food so I give him some leftovers which he eats.
I leave him to eat and go undress into something more comfortable. After that I go in the room that's supposed to be mine. "Oh, there's a lots to do" I say looking at all the boxes. I wonder when will we decide to unpack these boxes.
Taking the box with my books the envelope falls down. "I even forgot about this" I say picking it up and taking it to the lounge. I sit on the floor and open it. There is a letter with my father's handwriting which I take to read.
