PETER

I smile as I saw what Laura sent me. We're texting earlier, she told me she'll be out with Adele for food shopping and for catching up as well. I left Louie with Wendy, she's the old caretaker of the beach houses, I offered her to live on my house so that Adele won't be suspicious when she came back here. I have to ensure her safety. She's not good at disguising herself, she thinks that without those make-ups and just a sunglass would cover the fact that she is Adele.

Laura sent me pictures of her. She's so perfect, they were on her car and according to my tracker they're on the same mall as two weeks ago. This two loves shopping. I remembered Adele tries to escape one of her shows and went on Target across the venue only with her robe on... she just looks around and spend 250£, she bought things she didn't really need at all, she even got a cat food to think that her pet is a dog...she says she doesn't really know why she pick that. Luckily, papz were too busy waiting for her in the venue, they didn't even think Adele will be our here so we manage to get back without a single photograph taken.

I just followed them with Laura still texting me. I wonder how can she get away with it while she's with Adele. Adele hates it, she's a busy person and she rarely finds time for her friends so she demands their full attention when she's with them.

I received a chain of messages from Laura. What is her problem?

Peter, she's upset.

She asked me where Louie is so I told her you took him.

She asks me where you'll take him thou I know she wants to know where you are...

She's sulking 'cause I told her you're looking for a new mum for Louie.

And also, I think her asshole husband told her to comb her hair because she pulls it on a messy bun.

I look at them, they're on the dairy section. Adele's busy reading the labels of two different brand of milk. I smile, she's really something. Laura smirks at me, I didn't tell her I am here.

Laura, don't tell her alright, I'm just securing her safety. I texted her. She's still smirking at me then I saw Adele smack the back of her head, I can't help myself but laugh.

"Laura, you keep on texting! I told you don't do that when you're with me... it isn't an emergency for sure." She said a bit annoyed.

"Fine, donut come on, Daniel requests biscuits he often got hungry in the middle of the night." Really, Laura? I am here at the racks of biscuits and breads, I immediately walk fast on the other side.

"Which of these biscuits Lau?" Adele asks her. I can smell her fragrance... I miss being around her.

"Hmmm... what do you think taste good babe?" Laura ask her. I continue listening to them while pretending to look over different cookies in front of me. I move a little as I felt someone was beside me.

"Laura, these cookies were amazing. Peter always had this with him." she says as she reached for my favorite cookies. "I often steal some from the car's box." She cackles. I smile while slowly stepping back. Thank God, I forgot to use my body spray or she'll smell me. "I have to steal so when I ask for it, he'll give me more." She continues putting a dozen pack on her cart. Of course I know she's stealing some, I know my stocks but I am just too in love with her to worry about the cookies.

"Really? Peter is a cookie monster then... Right Peter?" I am doomed! Why have I ever trust Laura? She can't keep any secret... I saw Adele lifts her head to look at Laura who happens to hold on to my arms to that I won't escape. Her face turns bright red.

"Hi Princess." I greet her.

"H-hello... ahmm, Laura let's go? I forgot I have to buy chicken, I will cook Simon's favorite for lunch." Ouch! That hurts... really. I look at her hand and the ring I gave her wasn't there...where is it?

"What are you talking about? We're on a date donut... you promised me we'll eat lunch together. Peter, come with us." Laura says a bit annoyed. I saw Adele tries to talk to her through eye to eye contact but she refuses to look at her. Of course, I get that... for all the years I am with them, I learned that women can communicate through eyes.

"Ahhm, Laura... I can't. Wendy's waiting for me. I have to be ho—" I was cut off by Adele.

"No, come with us." She said then turned her back on me.

ADELE

I went on the other side of the rack as I can't see any biscuit that I think would satisfy my taste buds. My eyes landed on a very familiar wrapper and I rushed into it. My heart beats fast but I just shrug, maybe because this is Peter's favorite cookies.

"Laura, these cookies were amazing. Peter always had this with him." I said picking some packs and put it on my cart. "I often steal some from the car's box." I cackle. The man steps back as I almost empty the rack. I laugh to myself, sorry but I'm gonna buy this all. "I have to steal so when I ask for it, he'll give me more." I told Laura.

"Really? Peter is a cookie monster then... Right Peter?" I froze, who is she talking too? I lift my head just to see someone I didn't expect to see. Someone I was trying to forget. God, my heart really knows him, that's the reason why my heart wants to run from my body and jump over him. I miss him terribly, I fight the urge to throw myself on his arms...

Wait, did he hear what I said? Oh God... I felt my blood rose up to my face.

"Hi Princess." He greets me.

"H-hello... ahmm, Laura let's go? I forgot I have to buy chicken, I will cook Simon's favorite for lunch." Shit! What a lame excuse is that Adele? I tried to communicate with Laura through my eyes but I am late.

"What are you talking about? We're on a date donut... you promised me we'll eat lunch together. Peter, come with us." Laura says annoyed. I sigh...

"Ahhm, Laura... I can't. Wendy's waiting for me. I have to be ho—" Who the fuck is that Wendy? Jealousy eats me up.

"No, come with us." I said then turned my back on them. I know I didn't get the chance to think, I let my emotions act.

"Oh, Jessie... I told you, don't be jealous... no, he wouldn't do that..." I harshly turned to Laura, I know her... she's messing with me again but she's on her phone. I took her phone just to see she's really talking to Jess, Laura crossed her arms on her chest so I don't have any choice but to talk to her, I don't trust them both.

"Jess, what's the problem?" I asked.

"Delly?" it's Ben. See? I glare at her and she went to Peter's back. "You're with Laura? Where are you two? Why didn't you invite us?" he asks. I sigh.

"Well, I just told Laura to call you, we're already here at the mall for food shopping but we'll eat lunch. P-pete's with us... will you go?" I stammered on his name. Why is it I can't fucking pronounce his name?

"Oh, did you ditched your dickhead Simon an—" I cut him off.

"Stop or I will all kill you. I'll tell you, you're not a good team at all... now, will you come over?" I said.

"Alright...alright. We'll be there in 30 minutes." He said. I hang up and throw Laura her phone, I don't care even if it broke but Peter catch it, so Laura stuck her tongue on me. Grrrr! I swear I could kill!

I was about to push my cart forward when it moves on its own. I look back and Peter's pushing it along with Lau's cart too. Laura was smirking at me like an idiot singing Daydreamer on me.

Ahhh! If only I could scream right here, right now I swear I will! I love my best friend but moments like this makes me wonder why have I ever been associated with her!!!

"Ahhhh!!" Shit! I screamed out loud due to my frustrations. I pull my hoodie on my head, people looks at us. Peter bow his head too, he knows people knew him as my bodyguard. I pick the rest of the things I will be needing at home then paid for it. Peter wants to pay for us just like before.

When I am with him, he never let me touch my wallet even if it's my personal use... I never argue then because he's my friend but the situation is different now.

"It's alright Peter, things are not the same now, I have a husband and I think he's earning enough to make us both live." Of course I am kidding, even if Simon is not working I have more than enough to live if I will be wise to spend it... in fact, me and Simon is not talking about it at all... I don't know but it just sunk in on me, isn't it should be him spending money for both of us?

"I am earning more than enough for both of us too, why didn't you believe in me when I was offering my love to you then?" I was shocked. He walks over the baggage's and lift it up. He heads towards the basement parking and I follow him, he opened the car trunk, I remember, he still has my car keys. I don't mind.

He faced me after fixing the bags on my car. I was about to say something when he reaches for me and pull my body by the waist. His face descends on me and before I even know it, his lips was on mine kissing me gently.

His kiss... it's so different, different from Simon or from Alex, he kissed me with no lust, I hate assuming things but I only feels love... care and regrets. A tear escape from my eye as our lips parted. He cups my face and wipe my tears away. My phone rings and its Laura.

"Yes, we just put the bags on the car, we'll be there in a moment... alright." I said. I look back at him, I can't even feel awkwardness between us... I felt home.

He held my hands silently as we walk back. I look at our hands clasp on each other, I smile... this isn't the first time we held hands, in fact we're always holding hands when he's escorting me on event's or any other gatherings. I miss his warm hands on mine. "I wish it lasts forever." I said. He looks at me and smile sadly.

Yeah... I will just enjoy the moment. Later, I know, life will happen again.
