ZAARA AND MARCUS, were the two newly-wed and lovelorn couple, whose connection everyone aspired to achieve.
they had met when carrying out their adolescent years, their bond already extremely strong at such a young age. over the years, the growing attraction they had to each other became more and more apparent which had bloomed into their current relationship.
the pair had a beautiful, radiant daughter alina, who was a perfect mix of the two of them. with a wide smile always on her lips and an infectious laugh, the two year old had her parents wrapped around her finger.
as a result of a park outing, she had tired herself out and ended up sleeping in her fathers arms while her mother drove them home.
marcus didn't hesitate at all and as soon as the car pulled over infront of their home, he practically rushed inside to put her to sleep.
zaara, smiling at her husbands antics, locked the doors of the car and gently stepped inside, closing the door behind her.
just as she was about to turn, she felt two arms wrap around her core, and then someone's front pressing against her back.
marcus dipped his head into her neck, inhaling the flowery perfume that rested on her skin, his eyes fluttering closed in an instant.
"you're that tired already?" she laughed, placing her hands over his arms. marcus was already under a trance the second that he placed his hands onto his wife, a hum leaving his lips. "yeah. i am." he mumbled against her skin, pressing a gentle kiss against it.
rolling her eyes with a smile on her lips, she slid out of her shoes which he almost immediately took advantage of, turning her around and picking her up like it was nothing.
wrapping her legs around his torso, she quietly let her head nuzzle into his shoulder. even after the chaotic whirlwind of raising a child, they still found time to maintain their close bond and make time for each other.
marcus admired the strength that his wife had, the way zaara spent her whole day catering to him and their child while maintaining time for herself like it was nothing.
which was why he adored taking care of her.
whenever he saw a chance to, he would take care of her. and zaara was always grateful to have such a partner.
once feeling the sofa press against the back of his legs, he gently lowered himself down while carrying her, until he was completely lying down.
a hand trailed up to her hair, gently brushing away a strand that hid her face from him. perching her chin on his chest, she looked up at him, their gazes meeting.
a few seconds of silence lingered in the air, before zaara laughed again. "what?"
hearing her laugh, his lips curled into a smile. "what do you mean 'what?' can i not enjoy staring my unbelievably gorgeous wife?" he replied.
with slightly widened eyes, zaara's cheeks began to burn, a soft pink tint appearing on her cheeks. marcus' smirk grew wider as he noticed her flushed cheeks.
with a huff leaving her lips, she rolled her eyes once more, before mumbling. "you're so cheesy." however, before marcus could let out a response, the soft creak of the door opening caught his attention, along with zaara's.
both of their heads whipped towards the door, noticing alina. she let out a yawn, rubbing her eye before waddling over to them.
zaara's face softened, shifting around so she was sat up. "lina? whats up love?" she asked, watching her sleepy daughter shuffle and climb up on the sofa.
"bad dream." alina tiredly mumbled.
marcus watched quietly, his brows subconsciously furrowed. with a small smile on her lips, zaara gently picked alina up, before lowering herself back down onto marcus.
"it's okay baby, we're here." she soothingly replied, running a hand through her silky locks. marcus shifted under the pair, getting into a more comfortable position while also making sure he held the both of them.
the three of them laid together on the couch, cuddled close in a comfortable embrace. marcus's head gently rested against zaara's, while her arm wrapped around his sturdy frame.
their daughter, alina, had nestled herself in the space between them, her small form comfortably tucked against her parents' chests. the warmth of their closeness and the tranquility of the moment begin to draw them softly into the embrace of sleep.
marcus smiled down at the sight, admiring the two girls who mattered to him the most, before closing his own eyes, slowly finding himself asleep.
