Connected Cords

Chapter Two

A.N: Margaux and Maddieson on the media box! :)

Slow and warm breath was fanning againts my neck as I opened my eyes and feel the warmth of my husband's body againts my back. His arm was lying carelessly around my waist. I carefully removed it before stretching my arms and feet while yawning. I grimaced when I felt the light soreness of my lower back and my center. It was a wild night after all.

I sat up and look at the clock, it was just 5 o'clock in the morning, I still had 4 more hours before the screening for new models who were looking for agencies. I'm sure it will be a long and hectic day because I was sure that there will be throngs of models that will go for a screening just to be part of our team.

The vibration of a phone on the our bedside drawer caught my attetion, and it was Greg's phone. Curiosity percolate right through me, so I looked at Greg and he was still in deep slumber so I grabbed his phone, pushed the button above to open it.

The wild brightness of the phone blinded me so I quickly unlocked it and adjusted it's brightness. When my eyesight was finally fine, I quickly went to his messages.

The name that was pinned on the top was Elizabeth and it has a 1 symbol on the side, indicating a new message. I hastily opened it.

Good morning honey. Make sure to eat your breakfast, okay? Take care. I love you.

My breath was caught up in my throat when the phone was instantly snatched from me. I looked at Greg and he was glaring at me. I ignored the tightening of my chest and just smirked at him.

"So Elizabeth is the name?" I asked, slowly standing up and ignoring the coldness of the air conditioner againts my bare body. I walked towards my closet and grabbed the silk robe hanging on the doorknob of my walk in closet. I put it on, still waiting for his response.

"Haven't you heard the word 'privacy'?" He asked, emphasizing his last word with his morning voice.

"Am I forbidden to check my husband's phone now?" I asked back, emphasizing the word husband and faced him while tying my robe.

I found him already wearing his dark gray boxer shorts and a sando that was hugging his body perfectly. At the age of 30, I cannot deny how good looking my husband was.

I heard him took a deep breath before leaving me in our room. I took massive amount of breaths before leaving our room and went straight to Maddie's room. The door of her room was ajar ao I peeked inside, Greg was there kissing his daughter's forehead, waking her up. My heart fluttered at the sight of them, it was such a beautiful scene.

I went to our kitchen and found our maid preparing our breakfast. I helped her cook our breakfast and prepared a sandwhich for Maddie, para baunin niya sa eskwelahan.

I also prepared baked mac for Greg, it was his favorite, with more more more cheese. I missed doing it. Before, everyday this was my job. Prepare their food, take care of them. But since Dernier Cri started to boom, I also started to get occupied everyday, dumating pa sa punto na kape nalang ang iinumin ko sa umaga pagkatapos ay didiretso na agad ako sa opisina. Ni hindi ko man lang siniguradong nalabihis na ang anak ko o natulungan man lang ang asawa ko na pumili ng kurbatang isusuot niya na palagi kong ginagawa dati.

"Mommyyy!" Maddison's sweet voice pulled me out of my reverie.

I turned around and found her on his fathers arms. Sandaling dumaan ang tingin ko kay Greg pero agad kong umiwas at lumapit upang halikan si Maddie sa pisngi.

"Good morning, baby." I smiled at her and she smiled lazily at me, halatang antok na antok pa.

"You cooked sweetheart?" Greg asked. I wanted to snort because of his endearment, kanina lamang ay muntikan pa kaming mag away dahil sa pagkadiskubre ko ng pangalan ng babae niya.
