SIMON

"Hello babe, good morning!" I greeted her as she opened her eyes. I woke her up showering her face with light kisses. She smiled at me. She caressed my face and went to kiss my lips lightly.

"Good morning Si." She said. She is the sweetest woman on earth. She sat up on our bed and look at the tray of foods... I watched her reactions, I am so nervous she doesn't like what I prepared for her breakfast.

I want to be a perfect husband for her. For the first time after the night of our wedding, we sleep on the same bed without awkwardness. We sleep with each other's arms wrapped around our body. She really wanted this marriage work... well, she does really want this to work since the beginning, I was just an asshole... I am sick but I am determined to do everything to cope up with her efforts to make it work.

I smiled again as she turned to me... she's smiling but I think she's contemplating if she should say what she has to say.

"Adele, what is it? Come on, you can tell me." I encourage her. She crawls on my lap and sat there making our eyes locked with each other.

"Si... don't you ever notice that I am not eating anything heavy after I sleep?" she asked. I just look at her. "I mean, I can't take heavy meals whenever I woke up, Peter used to cook or buy me chocolate chips pancake and some chocolate syrup that's the best—" she stopped. Her eyes sparkles while she's talking about Peter and how he prepared her foods... maybe she realized what she's talking about.

"Never mind... you know, I should start trying to eat proper breakfast, people says that breakfast is the most important meal of the day to start your day right." She said reaching for the plate with fried rice, hotdog, eggs and bacon in it. "Simon, I am a good cook, starting today I will cook for you." she brags about her cooking skills while shoving a spoonful food on her mouth. I just watch her eating. I want to know how she finds my cooking although those were just fried. I saw her eyebrows raised and my nerves were killing me.

"Why... you're good too." She said smiling at me with her thumbs up in the air. All my insecurities fade away. She told me to say 'a' and then shove some foods on my mouth. I laugh, she put too much in it, it took me so much time to finish chewing it.

"Are you trying to kill me babe?" I asked her. She's just looking at me with a triumphant smile. This is the life I wanted us to live.

I will give everything to keep her with me... I will not let Peter or Clary come between us.

ADELE

I was trying to be someone I am not again... but what can I do if every time I will be myself... he is the one coming up my mind? Is it really hard to forget someone who gives you so much to remember?

I tried my best to eat what Simon prepared for me... it is not awful, in fact it tasted good it's just that I can't really eat. He already went downstairs as his phone rings, I rushed to the bathroom and tried to be silent while throwing up all the foods I just eat...

Peter will probably know this right away even if I tried to be silent, he will know. Probably, he might be holding my hair while rubbing my back now if he's here.

Adele stop it... stop thinking about him already. I sigh... I don't know if I will be tired of thinking of him or I will be tired telling myself to stop thinking about him.

I decided to take a quick shower and went downstairs with my car keys.

"Clary, I've told you already... I can't come. Let's just see each other at work." I heard Simon talking with Clary in his phone. I know I should be at least felt annoyed, I know Clary feels something for him but I can't feel any emotion.

"Si, I'll just go food shopping..." I said because my stocks were over. I mean, Simon knows how to cook and anything but he didn't bother to buy supplies. My fridge and my cupboards and cabinets were almost empty as if no one's living here.

He said his goodbyes on the phone and face me. He examined my whole thing which made me do the same, I am wearing black fitted jeans, my top was a simple black long sleeves shirt and my white converse on my feet.

"Don't you need to comb your hair babe?" he asked. I furrowed my eyebrows over him, Peter loves me like this.

"It complements your character as a happy person, Princess and you shouldn't let your hair cover that beautiful face."

Not again Adele... I smile to Simon although I am annoyed by his question, why? Am I less of a woman if I pull my hair up on a messy bun?

"It has a purpose babe, I don't want the papz to follow me and it will help me get away from them." I said putting my sunglasses on while walking on the front door. "And by the way, I will be meeting Laura for lunch, would that be ok with you? or you can go meet us later?" I ask, if I have to keep him with me, he should start winning the hearts of the people around me.

"Ahmm, babe... I need to go to the office today." He said. I stopped my eyebrows from raising voluntarily.

"Oh, alright. I'll just cook us dinner for later." I said opening the door, but before I set my foot out, he asks me something which I don't know why but I find his voice strange.

"What time you'll be home?" he's not looking at me but I tried to see his eyes and I felt a bit afraid when I saw the same eyes he had that night.

"I d-don't know y-yet... I'll a-also have to drop at the s-studio, Jonathan wants to talk to me." I said stammering. I just felt really frightened with no clear reason.

"Ok, take your time babe." I nodded and went to my car.

***

"Hey, donut, where's Louie?" I asked her. I went to pick her up, she says she wants to go with me, she needs to go for food shopping too.

I look for my baby Louie but he's nowhere. Laura's not answering me. I look at her and her hair is on a messy bun too, suddenly I got the urge to ask her about it.

"Donut, does Dan ever told you to comb your hair when you're going outside with that?" she looked at me, narrowed her eyes and I know that look, I turned my head on the other direction to try to find Louie again.

"Tell Simon to comb his own hair... what happened to your 'he has no choice...there's no man telling me to shave my legs, shave yours!' press releases?" she said mocking me. I've told you, I knew it. She sighs as I didn't response to her, well I did really say that on one of my interviews so I didn't have anything to say to her...she's right. "...and no, Dan never told me anything about this... he often tells me that Peter loves your hair that way." She said which made me look at her, opens my mouth just to close it again. I can't find the right words to say or ask.

"By the way, I sold Louie." She said, her voice has no sign of messing around.

"You what?!" I yelled at her. Is she fucking kidding me? She just laughs at me while running to my car. "Laura! Where is my Louie?" I scream at her back trying to catch up on her.

"Relax, donut. Louie's on the right hands... your baby boy is with his Daddy Peter... he picks him up yesterday just after your car left." Ok, Peter again...

"Did he say where he'll take him?" I know my question is about Louie's but deep inside me I just want to know if Laura knows his whereabouts. I was now driving and Laura's busy on scrolling on her phone beside me.

"Hmmm, probably looking for a new mum for your little boy." She said. She's really annoying me. I step on the gas knowing she'll be hysterical about my driving then I pull the break and she almost hit his head on the dashboard.

"Seatbelt Laura!" I scold her while my heart was beaming. She glares at me then smile. I drive again.

"Someone's jealous... don't worry he won't do that." She said.

"He can do whatever he wants, just bring my Louie back." I hissed at her. She laughs so loud. I look at her and then back to the road.

"Donut, why are you so affected, I was texting those words to Jess because she's doubting Ben." she said. I doubt it.

"Fuck off Laura, I know you too well..." I said pulling my car on the parking space. I hear a camera shutter and when I looked at her she's taking a picture of me. "What the fuck Lau?!"
