I woke up before Carter did. I sat there next to him on the bed and looked at him sleeping. He was sleeping on his stomach and his toned back was bare with the sheets covering only his bottom. I traced the tattoo that was on the middle of his back and I recognized it as the same one that I have on my lower back, except mine was a key in the middle and his was a lock. The day I got my tattoo, the artist told me that someone already got the pair to it. I tried to bribe him into telling him who got the pair but he said something about customer privacy and all that. I laughed and the only hint he gave me was that the guy who got it paid him more than the usual. I traced his tattoo when all of a sudden he had me pinned under him. He hovered above me and said, "You know I'm trying to sleep, but with you touching me like that, it's hard." And then he starts kissing me from my forehead, my cheeks, my neck and then I pushed him off and said, "go back to sleep. I'm going downstairs to fix breakfast." He laughed and then gave me a quick kiss and turned on his back to sleep.
I took a quick shower and got dressed in a simple green summer casual backless dress and put my hair up in a bun.

I went downstairs not bothering to put on flip flops or shoes. I got out two bags of bacon, a carton of eggs, bread and then made breakfast. I was still at the stove frying the bacon when I heard the water running from upstairs alerting me that Carter was up. I tried to finish as fast a I can. I put in the last pieces of bacon and then set the table. I was waiting for the last pieces to cook when I felt a hand touched my back. I flinched a littler then relaxed when I realized that it was just Carter. I waited for him to say something when he reached around to the stove and turned it off. He hugged me and then turned me around and said, "You got the pair of my tattoo. I hugged him even harder and told him, "I didn't know it was you until this morning. " we let go of one another and I told him, "Breakfast time."
We at at the table and dig in until the phone rings and I stood up to answer it. I looked at the caller i.d and it was Aunt Clare. I looked at Carter but he was still eating. I walked back to the table and sat down. "Hi Aunt Clare." Carter looked at me and then Aunt Clare said, "Liyana Evelyn Miller, what time are you flying in today?" I laughed and said "Aunt Clare I'll call you back please. I'm eating breakfast with a guest." She snorted and said, "You better not be making more babies with your guest," I spit out the eggs in my mouth and coughed and said, "Aunt Clare!" she laughed and said, "Call me when your done. I love you sweetheart." I hung up and coughed again and Carter said, "Are you okay? Drink your juice." I nodded and drank my juice. We continued eating in silence and then I got up when Carter said, "Leave it in the sink, I'll do it." I looked at him and then he continued, "You cooked so I'll wash the dishes." I put my dishes in the sink and walked over to him. I kissed him on the forehead and then whispered thanks in his ear. I walked to the living room and sat on the couch. I grabbed my phone and called Sarah. "Yes Ms Miller."I laughed out loud and then said, "Sarah? Can I trust you not to tell Aunt Clare what I'm about to tell you until I do?" She stopped laughing and said, "Spill." I looked back to the kitchen and heard the sound of a spoon on the plate meaning Carter was still eating. I turned back around and said, "Please Sarah. don't tell her. I'll do it." Sarah must've been thinking hard when she suddenly said "Ok Ling." I leaned backwards on the couch and put my legs up on the table in the front and said, "Carter's here." I shot up when I heard something crashed from Sarah's side. I yelled, "Sarah. Sarah are you okay?" She made a sound and said, "I'm fine Ling, I just dropped the dishes I was holding. What do you mean, Carter's there? He's there as in he's in the house?" I lay back down and said, "yes, he's here." We met yesterday at the hospital. And Sarah, we both have proof that he broke us up because he was forced. Sarah I'm so confused yet at the same time I still love him. I never stopped because every time I see Faith and Noah, I see him in them." Sarah sighed and said, "Oh sweetie. I know you still him. But the question is, does he?But I'm guessing that you already know the answer, huh. Seeing that he's there so earl in the morning. Ling, you know I only want you to be happy. I want whats best for you and the kids. Wait, does he know about the twins?" I laughed quietly at her question and said, "Thats why he's here. We talked about it yesterday. Sarah you should've seen his face when he looked at Faith and Noah's picture. It was filled with love and excitement. I fell in love with him all over again." Then I asked Sarah, "Will it be okay if you travel?"
