Amber and Xavier Extracts

A Normal Life

Amber & Xavier
POV: Amber
━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━

It's a sunday morning in the month of February, the air is still with a light breeze and rays of sunlight peak through the clouds that spread across the sky. I slowly make my way down the grand staircase, feeling the temperature drop a little which makes me adjust my dressing gown. I wonder into the kitchen, losing myself in thought to why it was so cold downstairs, to then find Xavier sitting at the kitchen island reading a newspaper.
'Honey, why is it so cold down here?' I shiver.
He looks up from the page he's reading and looks over to the back doors which lead to the garden. A wave of relief washes over me as i hear the sound of Lynch and Emerald's giggles echo through the kitchen.
'Why are the kids outside?' I chuckle as I walk over to Xavier and kiss him good morning.
'God knows, ever since we planted those new roses they've been obsessed with them' he looks up at me with a comforting smile.
'How did you sleep?' he continues
'Good, would've slept even better if you didn't snore your ass off though' I roll my eyes.
'I do not!' he argues
'You do to'
'Never'
'Always'
'Neveeerrrrr'
'Alwayysss'
'You love it really' he smirks.
'In your dreams fancy pants' I look down at his Harry Potter pyjamas.
I see Xavier blushing in the corner of my eye as I pop a slice of bread in the toaster. I brush off the crumbs from the top of the toaster and my thoughts wonder once more as I think to myself
oh uncle Anton how i wish you were here with us right now
This thought is interrupted within a few seconds when shrieks fill the the air.
'Emerald!'
'Lynch!' me and Xavier shout at the exact same time while running towards the back door.
We run outside almost tripping over each other, only to find Lynch and Emerald covered in dirt and playing with earthworms.
They look up at me and Xavier like we're insane then at the earthworms and dirt, then back at each other is when they uncontrollably let out bursts of laughter.
Earthworms. I think to myself.
I look up at Xavier, who still towers over me to this day, with the biggest grin on my face. He looks down at me, he's thinking the exact same thing.
