cherish the love we had

Part XIX

Back Home

Get inside then parked the car. He opens the door & carried her into the house directly to her room and lays her down in the bed but Alex went down to switch off all the lights and locked all the doors in the house yet he can't sleep so drinks beer and stayed in the living room for awhile watching basketball game since Liz was sleeping already. On the other hand, Elizabeth woke up and Alex wasn't in the bed so strange, for how long did she sleep? She walked out of bed & look for Alex. She then went downstairs thinking maybe he's still there and she was right because the light from living room was still open. She came over to him and whispered on his ear;

"Is something bothering you? Why are you still here?

"Oh what are you doing here? I thought you're sleeping when I left you?

"I woke up but then you're not beside me so I came down seeing you here. Is there something wrong? If that's about my sister's query don't mind it that's nothing.

"It's not about her it's just that I can't sleep so I got two bottles of beer maybe I'm sleepy." She lay down in the couch with her head on his lap while watching TV.

"Are you sure? No more secrets & lies Alex, please.

"Of course. I have nothing to hide, nothing, right?

"Can I have one bottle of beer too?

"No. Just stay here with me. I don't like you drinking beer. I just. You just tell stories. "What is that, do I look like a senile elderly." Just laughing!

"You have said that I'm not. Nothing just missed this." While stroking the strands of her hair.

"What do you want to hear?

"That you're happy with me? This set up we have? Do you think it will last?

"Why, are you not happy with me? You're just constrained Alex? Depending all to you that could happen between us." Suddenly stood up out of lying down swiftly Alex took her hand back to sit next to him.

"That's not what I meant so I asked what do you feel about what is happening to us, you think I make you happy?

"Enough to me your promise as long as you keep it we don't have disagreement in the long run like what I've said Alex.

"At least everything is clear, now I know that you're happy with me even though sometimes I have shortcoming but everything will be alright in the coming days. I will try to the best of my ability Liz as I promised you.

"You turn too serious there. I did not seek in full of you because I know there are certain things you are working then I would understand but you just be honest in your promises to me because that's all I hold.

"Maybe we need more time with each other. I felt that while we're off you're away from me yet even close and that's what I'm afraid to happen Liz that I might lose you forever.

"Is that what you want, losing me?" She looked at him seriously.

"I can not afford to lose you, I was hurt once so I do not want it to happen again then I promised myself that if I ever love again it will be my last and he gave you to me Liz.

"Well me too Alex at first because I was afraid you might fool me and leave as well but when you married me and brought me to your mom I have no regrets with the decision I have come to you without a doubt and I know that we are not perfect yet we have filled each other. I hope we can cope with future challenges in our lives.

"Of course we are together through thick and thin. Perhaps yours for bliss only but in pain seem to me just like that?

"That's not fair, of course count me in also as I had never experienced that!

"Just kidding. Ha-ha!"

"I'm serious Alex." Just smiling."I'll go ahead just follow." Then she kissed him goodnight & went to the bedroom.

"Okay, I'll follow after this." The game is over. He switched off the TV and went upstairs headed to his room where Elizabeth is sleeping then he slept beside her.

 Elizabeth wakes up and goes down to the kitchen to cook for breakfast because Alex might leave early today for the show so she prepares everything for him. Alex was behind him kissing her on the face to her neck and whispers something on her ear.

"You got up early to cook it looks delicious. I do not like going to work I suddenly felt hunger.

"Of course you might think I left somehow I'm here to look after your needs even in this way you are served.

"I know that so I liked you all the traits I look for in a woman kind, thoughtful, warm and above all loving and always understands me.

"Ump-where's beauty? Ah that's enough, I might cry here then it's just hungry. Just kidding!

"Of course you don't have to say beautiful. Come let's eat. If only I could bring this maybe they will ask for more if they ever taste it, it's hard because I don't want you to get tired preparing all this stuff.

"You know you are really stingy just little things. I have school so maybe later in the afternoon we could meet I'll wait for you here.

"Alright, you want me to fetch you there? Ah-no I just wait here and I will cook later.

"Are you serious? Make sure that you cook would taste good? Let's see, maybe. Hurry up you might be late to your call time.

"Okay I'll get dressed now. I'll see you later. You take care. Bye. Love you.

"Take care. Love you too. See you then.
