Better With You

Chapter Twenty Eight

Irene's POV

I woke up earlier than usual. I opened my eyes, and saw Greggy sleeping soundly beside me, his hands are wrapped around my body.

I stared at him, realizing how much this guy changed my view for love.

After everything happened to me, I never believed in love. However, I dreamed of marrying a guy who would gladly accept for who I am.

I don't understand myself either sometimes, but he do it effortlessly.

His past lover trained him well. I'm sure she foresee him as her husband already. 8 years is such a long journey, I'm certain that they went through a lot together.

I wonder how she made Greggy like this. Such an understanding, and soft spoken guy.

When he raise his voice at you, He'll immediately apologies, he knows what he did.

I carefully remove his hands around my body, and stood up. I went downstairs to prepare breakfast.

Gladly, I know how to fry. I fried an egg, and made toasted bread. I also prepare the pie that I baked yesterday.

I also made coffee for us. He loves coffee as much as I do.

I went upstairs to wake him up. I look at the clock, and we still have an hour.

"Greg, wake up." I uttered, while tapping his shoulder. "Greg".I called.

He just frowned, while his eyes is still closed. I chuckled. "Love, gising na." I sweetly said.

He opened his eyes with a bright smile. "Hello, Beautiful. Good morning." He softly said.

"Good morning" I said.

He stood up, and gave me a peck on my lip. He hugged me, and carried me eventually that made me shock. "Hey, put me down." I said.

"Nope! You hid something from me so you need to be punished." He said, smirking.

"What kind of punishment is it? I'll gladly accept it." I seductively said.

"Hmmm!" He hummed, and put me down the bed.

I remember that we're going to church, and the coffee might get cold.
"Ops! Maybe just later at night. I made breakfast, and we might be late for the mass."

"Really?" He asked, and cuddled with me.

"Yes, Love." I answered.

He kissed my cheek and stood up. We went downstairs, and he's carrying me as if I can't walk.

He put me down, and pulled a chair for me.

"Thank you" I said, while smiling.

"You're welcome, My Love." He said, and sat down. "Thank you for the breakfast." He added.

I smiled.

"You baked these?" Pointing the pie.

I nodded.

He get one slice, and out it on his plate. "I didn't know you know how to bake." He said.

I heard a bark, and realized that Autumn is already here. I haven't given her food. I stood up, and opened her dog food, and put some on the container.

I rubbed her hair, and went back to the kitchen. I washed my hand first, and continue eating.

"What's her name?" Greggy asked.

"Her name is Autumn." I responded.

He nodded. "Pops told me to go there after the mass."

I looked at him confusingly. "You often talk with Dad? He didn't even tried texting me." I said, and frowned.
