"Wake up, wifey." He whispered to her ear but the younger one covered her face with the blankets instead. 

He showered her bare back with little kisses with his palms gently caressing her belly and abdomen. She grunted softly and opened her eyes but the sunlight coming through the windows was blinding her. It is their second day in France. Their luggage is still at the side and most of their things are not yet organized. They made love in their new bed last night and today, they will go out to have a lunch date. 

"I'm not yet your wife, hubby." She mumbled, resting her head on his chest. She closed her eyes once again and he kissed her forehead. 

"You will be my wife soon. Get up now. We will have breakfast." He whispered to her ear once again but she just wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged him gently. 

She is feeling a little lazy and to wake her up, he cupped her cheeks and squished it between his palms. She whined softly and he laughed before pecking her lips. He finally got up from the bed and picked his boxer shorts up to wear it and walk to the kitchen. They went to the market last night to buy some food to store in the fridge. They only got the necessities and they will buy more later. 

Some minutes later, he went back to the bedroom while carrying a tray of food and drinks. He prepared pancakes and hot chocolate for her. She was still asleep when he placed it down the bed. He gently pinched her nose and she lightly slapped his hand away. He laughed softly before kissing her forehead. 

"I cooked some pancakes for you. If you don't wake up, I will eat these." He melted the butter and poured some honey before cutting it into small pieces. She immediately sat up on the bed while covering her chest with the blankets. 

A month has passed and Fuyu's classes will start soon. Sho decided to visit the museums and galleries to look for more inspirations while Fuyu is attending classes. He is always fetching her up from the university and then, they will have a stroll at the park before going home. This routine continued for a few months until Sho got a few ideas and ended up staying at home to focus on painting. 

"Will you drive me home later?" She asked while wearing her white uniform. He peeked from the bathroom while brushing his teeth. 

"Sure. Let's drop by the market to buy food." He went back inside and finished what he was doing. She grabbed her bag and pecked his cheek when he went out. 

"I'll go now. List down the food and ingredients that we will buy later. I got the electricity and water bills. I'll pay for it later during my vacant period." She checked her things inside the bag and he hugged her from behind. 

"Let's buy ice cream later. My soon-to-be wife deserves a reward after working hard at university." She smiled softly and nodded. She turned her head and he kissed her lips. 

"I want to cut your hair, hubby. It's already too long. I'll cut that this weekend, okay?" She completely turned around and hugged him tight before finally leaving for the university. 

Meanwhile in Tokyo, Gia is trying her best not to lose her temper. After succeeding the firm, Riku has been bothering her everyday by visiting there even though he has nothing to do. Her office is now full of baskets of flowers. All of it is from him. She heard a knock from outside and her secretary went in while carrying a new basket of flowers. This time, it is her favorite chrysanthemum. 

She massaged her temples, feeling a headache coming. She doesn't know where he learned about her favorite chrysanthemums but she already got the feeling that he learned it from Sho. She sent him a message once, telling him not to tell her favorites to Riku but she just received a smirk emoji. She doesn't know if he is still her best friend or if Riku is now his new best friend. 

"Bring these out. It's almost wilted." She got the two baskets of red roses and gave it to her secretary. 

"You can already have your own floral shop, Kaichou." Her secretary teased her and she just glared at her. 

She got her phone when her secretary left. She dialed Sho's number and after a few rings, he answered the call. Her eyes widened when she heard unnecessary noises from the background. She tried to shove those thoughts away and waited for him to speak. 

"Yamamoto Shogo, don't tell me you literally answered my call while you and Fuyu are making love?" She gritted her teeth as she kept on massaging her temples. 

"Yes, we are making love but you interrupted us. Why are you calling, anyways? Don't you know it is already two in the morning here?" She can't believe that he is nagging her. She cursed mentally for forgetting that they both have different time zones now. 

"I just want to remind you that I'm still your best friend and you should not tell things to Riku." She furrowed her brows. 

"I already sold you to my future cousin-in-law. Don't interrupt us next time, okay?" She sighed deeply when he suddenly ended the call. She heard from the intercom that Riku is already there and she heaved another deep sigh. It will be another long day for her.
