Hearts On The Highrise

Chapter 4 : expectations

The soft light of the morning sun filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow across the room as Mew and I awoke from our sleep. It was 7 a.m., and the start of a new day full of possibilities. Mew hugged me and his lips met mine in a tender greeting.

"Good morning, love" he murmured, his voice filled with affection. "Morning," I replied, returning his kiss with a smile. "I'm hungry"

Mew chuckled, the sound filling the room with warmth. "Go get ready and I'll make breakfast and let's go conquer the day!"

I laughed when I saw him in his underpants jumping out of bed like Superman. " Oh, how I love him!" I said to myself, smiling stupidly like the first day I fell in love with him.

It was Friday, my second day at Waraha Corporation, and the nerves were starting to kick in. Engfa had a meeting scheduled with me and a few associates to discuss strategies and plans today, and I couldn't help but feel the weight of the task ahead. With only a few hours to review the reports she had given me yesterday, the pressure was on. Thank you Lord, Tina et Heidi will be there as well.

As I prepared for the day ahead, meticulously applying my makeup and selecting the perfect outfit, Mew bustled around the kitchen, preparing breakfast with his usual flair. I couldn't help but feel a surge of gratitude for his presence in my life, his unwavering support a constant source of strength and comfort.

The scent of freshly brewed coffee and sizzling bacon filled the air, creating a cozy atmosphere in our kitchen. With a contented sigh, I took a sip of my coffee and glanced over at Mew, who was busy flipping pancakes on the stove.

"So, any big plans for the weekend?" Mew asked, his voice filled with casual curiosity. I shrugged, a small smile playing on my lips. "Not really. Just looking forward to some downtime, maybe catch up on that book I've been meaning to read." Mew nodded, a thoughtful expression crossing his face. "Sounds nice. I could use a lazy weekend myself. Maybe we can binge-watch that new series everyone's been talking about." I chuckled, the thought of spending the day curled up on the couch with Mew and of course Phalo and Joy sounding like the perfect way to unwind. "That sounds like a plan. And hey, we could always order in some takeout for dinner." Mew grinned, his eyes lighting up at the suggestion. "Now you're speaking my language. Chinese or pizza?" We laughed, the familiar banter easing the tension of the upcoming day.

As we enjoyed our breakfast together, chatting about everything and nothing, I couldn't help but feel grateful for these simple moments of joy.

Sitting down to breakfast, we laughed and talked, enjoying each other's company in the quiet of the morning. But our teasing soon turned to fun, and before I knew it, we were chasing each other around the kitchen like two children. As I scrambled into a corner, Mew slipped on a puddle and fell to the floor with a dramatic thud, triggering a chorus of laughter from both of us.

Amidst our laughter, I couldn't resist teasing Mew further. "Watch out for the slippery floors, clumsy!" Mew shot me a playful glare as he regained his footing. "Hey now, who's the one causing all the chaos around here?" I grinned mischievously, dodging his playful swat. "Just keeping you on your toes, darling!" And so, with laughter and light-hearted banter, we continued to enjoy our morning together, savoring the simple joys of love and companionship.

After all this chaos full of laughter, it's time to leave.

Knowing that, according to Heidi and Tina, Engfa has already fired employees who arrived 1 minute late, I don't want to be on that list.

With Mew often having Fridays off, he offered to drive me to the office.

As we approached the towering building of Waraha Corporation, Mew couldn't help but stare in awe at its grandeur.  "Wow, that's one impressive office building," he remarked, his voice filled with admiration. I smiled at his reaction, feeling a surge of pride knowing that I was now a part of such a prestigious company. "Yeah, it's pretty impressive, isn't it? Thanks for driving me, babe. I really appreciate it." Mew grinned, reaching over to squeeze my hand affectionately. "Of course. Anything for you. Plus, I like the idea of being your personal chauffeur," he teased, winking playfully. I couldn't help but laugh at his playful remark. "Well, I certainly wouldn't mind having my own personal chauffeur," I joked back, leaning in to steal one kiss before stepping out of the car.
