PIERCE's POV

After that not so relaxing shower, I got out and went to my closet. Taking out the appropriate clothes for my first day of work, I took off the towel hanging loosely on my hips and dressed myself but not before applying some deodorant and lavender-scented lotion. Yeah, I know, lavender again. I sigh and force myself not to think about that.

I looked at the clock hanging on the wall and released a relieved breath. Thank God I woke up early and still have an hour left before I'm expected to arrive at the hospital. I can't let Dr. Stevens down as he is the one who recommended me to the Hospital's Director. The good man has helped me a lot in my recovery and he's one of the very few people who knew about my memory loss. Father wanted it to be a secret because in his words "People might use that against you." So only my father, mother, Dr. Stevens and my husband Matthew knows.

Making my way down the stairs, I take a deep breath and squared my shoulders. I couldn't let him know anything, from my dream to what happened in the bathroom. I just know he'll worry too much.

As I entered the kitchen, the smell and sizzling sounds of bacons in the pan welcomed me. I stopped and leaned at the doorframe and watch as my husband cooking at the same time singing and dancing to his favorite song.

"I met this girl last year.
She said don't you worry if I disappear
I told her I'm not really looking for another mistake.
I called an old friend thinking that the trouble would wait.
But then I jumped right in a week later returned.
I reckon she was only looking for a lover to burn.
But I gave her my time, for two or three nights.
Then I put it on pause until the moment was right
I went away for months until our paths crossed again.
She told me I was never looking for a friend
Maybe you can swing by my room around ten.
Baby bring the lemon and a bottle of gin
We'll be in between the sheets till the late AM
Baby if you wanted me then you should have just said.
She's singing

Don't fuck with my love
That heart is so cold
All over my own
I don't wanna know that babe
Don't fuck with my love
I told her, she knows
Take aim and reload
I don't wanna know that babe"

-Don't by Ed Sheeran- (Ed is bae <3 )

He was shaking his cute little bum and did a little spin, which by the way failed as he tripped and landed on his ass. The snort and my deep belly laugh escaped my lips without permission. He turned around, looking at me wide-eyed with a furious blush decorating his cheeks and his dewy red lips in a pout. He looks like a fish.

"Don't laugh at me Pi-Pi!" He huffed and I groaned at the nickname.

"Don't call me that Mattie! Don't murder my sexy ass name with that nickname. How in the hell did you get 'Pi-Pi' from 'Pierce'? It sounds like a kid's little penis!" I huffed dramatically and put my hands on my hips and wiggled my pointer finger disapprovingly.

We were both laughing and he suddenly screeches making me me worry immediately. He turned towards the stove and that's when I notice the bacons were still in the pan, well if you can still call them that when all I see are leaf-like black thingy.

He looked at me bashful and he smiled guiltily. I immediately walked over and gathered him in my arms. "I'm sorry for distracting you babe, let me cook this time so can you please make me some coffee?" (Coffee! Yum! Hihi) He nodded and went to make said coffee.

Mattie is quite timid around me when he thinks he's done something wrong. I guess it's because of my condition that he isn't 100% confident in our relationship. I can't blame him though, if you have a husband who lost 24 years worth of memories, I think you have the right to be worried. That's why I always do my best to reassure him that I'm not just gonna up and leave at the first sign of trouble.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Breakfast was great and enjoyable but I needed to go, seeing as I only have 25 minutes left and the hospital is a 20 minute drive from here. As I walk towards the car with Mattie following me, I reminded him to immediately get some rest since I know he's tired and haven't slept a wink since he came home.

Turning around, I hugged him and kissed his lips which he gladly reciprocated. "Goodluck baby, I know you're excited for your first day of work after all the hardships you had just to get the job. I have a feeling this day will be special." He smiled sweetly at me and I just nodded my agreement with him and pecked his lips one last time.

Climbing into my pick up truck, I waved bye at him. I know what'll happen next though and a smile tugged at my lips. Just as I peeled off the driveway, I heard him scream "Goodbye dear husband of mine!"
I peeked out my head out the window and screamed "Goodbye dear wifey of mine!" Which earned me a playful glare and the middle finger. I just shook my head and laughed.

Yeah I have a feeling that this day will be special, I just hope it is special in a good way.

So the next chap may or may not be their 'meeting'!Weeee! ;)
