Shouldn't Have Kissed You.

chapter 39

Dedicated to @Ryura2110

Maya walked inside her office and it was filled with flowers. All types and every colour that there was in this would. This all happened every year and on this date. At least it a way of her patient to thank her and wish her a happy life that she only seems to get around her two best friends and her husband who is on and off at times.

God, she could get used to their relationship being like that. At times fighting over nothing or something which makes him end up calling her all sorts of names. Yeah, he did that when he was mad at but at times it seemed like he was more mad at himself than he was with her.

Take for instance, few days ago. The day he found her in a compromising position with Leonel. He called a whore which of course mad her mad and you all know what happen. But when she came back and found her dear husband all drunk like he had never drunk before, she knew it.

She knew he was more hurt than she was. He just acted on the heated moment something that her brother warned her never to do while they're still you. It just makes thing worse and it was true. Chris had made things worse that day but not for her but for him.

Anyway, when he got up that night with a hangover, Maya made him the only thing she knew to make in this world. That was her coffee. Of course another lesson from her dear brother to whom every time of the year and on this date, she wished he would show up at her door step. It didn't matter which door step, either hospital or home but she just kept on wishing.

And last night, she did in the midnight. Yes, maybe her wish would come true this time and that's why she asked Chris to sit with her in the garden till midnight so she could make that one wish. That one wish that would make her life whole again.

Maya moved to her seat and pulled it. Her office was smelling a garden of flowers and she like it very much. She had taken all the cards from the flowers and now she wanted to read them. They all were happy wishes and a thank you for what she has done to all the families out there.

This made her to think of her relationship Chris. When he had drunk that coffee, he had asked her to forgive him and she did. She did because when she left, she thought of herself in the same shoes as him. What if she had found him with Kimberly on that bed? With him having nothing but a towel. She would have reacted the same way as he did. That's why she chose to forgive.

They had gone downstairs to have their meal and at first, it was awkward. Awkward because she need to ask him something. Something till now she hasn't asked him cause she doesn't know how to do it. How can she.

Then there was that happy moment for them. The one that she felt like they're the only two of them who were that happy when she was with him. They would play piano in the music room and Chris would make sure that he hit the wrong rhythm when they're serious.

And those garden moments, they were her best moments and she was getting used to it. Like for the past few day, they would have dinner and she would make both of them coffee then settle in the garden. Who does that anyway, and in the night? Apparently, it was her and her dear husband.

Maya smiled when she remembered last night. It was amazing. It was the best that left her wondering why she hadn't met Chris years ago. And what made it the best was things that seem stupid to everyone. Maya's smile grew broader and the memories flowed on her. This time Kyle wasn't the first one to wish her a happy Birthday. It was Chris.

Yes, Chris. Her temper husband. Her once upon a time sworn mortal enemy. And her now soon to be best friend. Yeah, she had changed about making him officially her best friend but now, now she wanted him to be her best buddy...

"Happy happy Birthday." That was what stopped her from going into details about what took place last night. "You're really getting old there." Leonel went on.
