The sound of alarm filled that dimmed room. Luna reached out her hand to grab her phone on the nightstand beside her bed. Eyes still closed as she took the phone and swiped its screen to turn off the alarm.
She rubbed her eyes a little then turned her head to the other side as her eyes could adapt with the dim room and had a better sight.
Her eyes met with his as he was looking at her. Antares seemed fully awake as he smiled and whispered “Good morning,” with his honey voice to Luna. He reached out his hand to tuck her hair strands behind her ear, cupped her cheek with his palm, and caressed slowly with his thumb.
“Did you already wake up for a while?” she asked.
He nodded, keeping his stare to her and caressed her cheek.
“Why didn’t you wake me up then?” she demanded.
He just shrugged a little. “You already set your alarm. I don’t feel the need to wake you up earlier than the alarm. And…” she raised her brows, demanding him to continue as he stopped his sentence for a moment and just kept on staring and caressing.
“You know that I don’t really a fan of boy bands with their cheesy songs, but… I think, now I’m deeply agree with Westlife . I feel like I’m flying without wings just by waking up beside you, seeing the sunrise on your face, and to know that I can say I love you in many given times or places.”
Luna’s mouth gaped. Speechless and rather irked with Antares’s silly and cheesy words in that very early morning.
“TaeAhn-a,” she said, “Did you eat too much sugar last night? Your candy mouth makes me shiver really.”
Antares let out a laugh. “I know I do. And I’ll make you shiver even more.” He moved forward and caught her lips and poured hungry and demanding kisses.
Luna clung her arms around his neck and pulled him to her more. She wasn’t a fan of his cheesy words, but of course it’s another story with his sweet and hot mouth. She always worships it, and was very welcome to it. It was obvious.

“Go get yourself ready. I will wake Grace up.” Antares said as he got off of bed and put on his shorts and comfortable tshirt.
“Mmm, thanks. And make sure she brushes her teeth and showers. Not too long, it’s cold, and we need to be ready at 7.”
“Yes, Ma’am.”
That Saturday morning was different from the other weekend. That day, Luna and Grace were going to join a Mother's Day event in Grace school. A week earlier when Antares just joined his wife and children in their family room as he just finished showering he found his beautiful Grace with a little cloudy face and Luna was trying to explain something and apologize to her.
“What’s going on?” He asked Luna as he took Eden from Luna’s arms and put him on his lap.
“There’s a Mother’s Day event in Grace’s school next weekend. But I don’t think I could join. She’s angry and disappointed about it.” she said with a sad and guilty voice.
“Why can't you?” Antares asked as he kept bouncing his legs to rock Eden and let him play with his fingers. “You can go. I will take care of Eden if that is the reason.” He talked with confidence.
Luna drew a back and Grace who was sitting on the carpet coloring her drawing book lifted her eyes to look at him. Both of them gave Antares a questioning look. Luna with a doubt, and Grace with a hope.
“Why? I can.” Antares looked at Luna and Grace. “It’ll be fun, Honey. Don’t worry. You can go with Grace and I will take care of Eden. Doesn't it sound great, Sweetheart?” he asked Grace with enthusiasm.
