Bed and Breafast

Four months Later.

Everyday was beautiful. Kelvin was so sweet. I am just glad that we had resolved our issues. We have spent wonderful times together. I got home pretty early tonight, I parked my car in its usual spot, carried my bag and laptop and was about to go into the house when I saw a delivery man, he handed me an envelope and i signed to acknowledge receipt. I took the white envelope and went into the house.

I opened the door to drop the letter and keys on the table, and went upstairs to shower and change into comfortable clothes. I made dinner, and was dishing it only for Kelvin to barge in. He looked around worriedly till his eyes fell on me. "What is he looking for?" I thought.

"Hey babe" He said looking at me, but it seemed like he was searching my face for something as he added "Are you fine?" I looked up at him " Yeah, I'm fine. I should be asking if you are fine with the way you came in" I responded as I dropped the serving dish on the dinning table.

"Sorry, it is nothing. I am fine. Um, did a letter come today?" He asked. "Yeah, it ..." I said but was interrupted by Kelvin "Did you open it yet?" He asked.

"No. I..." I tried responding but was interrupted by him.

"Alright, where is it?" He asked running his hands together.

"I left it on the table. Just hold on, let me get it." I left what I was doing to go get the envelope. As I took the envelope, "it reads Keith. I thought it was mine. I saw the delivery man as I arrived.  Is it yours?" I explained and asked. "Yes, it is mine. I forgot it was to be delivered today." He closed the gap between us and snatched it from me. Curious, i had to ask, "Okay, what's in the envelope?". He waved the envelope and explained "It is just work, I need it urgently. Huh, you want to see it?" He tore the tip of the envelope to open it.

I stopped him and said, "No need, let's leave work for now, take a shower and come for dinner okay? Yeah sure, he gave me a kiss on my cheek and went upstairs.

He took a while and we had dinner. He was nervous and uncomfortable throughout dinner. He told me he had a headache. I went to get some medications upstairs, made him use them and he came to lay on my laps, so I massaged his head as he went to sleep.

Days passed by and Kelvin was really stressed out by work so we planned to spend the weekend at this bed and breakfast with an ocean view. This should help the both of us destress, spend quality time and recharge. We checked into our room and it just brought back memories of our honeymoon suite. We unpacked and went downstairs for dinner. The next day, we decided to soak a little in the sun as we enjoyed the ocean view in front of us. After applying sunscreen to enjoy the sun, Kelvin got a call and left my side. I guess he just couldn't escape work. I made a mental note to remind him taht we cane here to get away from work a little.

I continued reading the novel I was reading and about 15 minutes later, I felt someone tap me. I removed my sunglasses to take a good look at the perosn. It was a young girl, she looked pretty.

"Hi pretty auntie." She greeted.

"Hi dear. Who are you?" I asked.

"That pretty auntie said to give this to you." He pointed to my right and when I looked in that direction. I couldn't figure out who she was referring to. She handed me a gift box.

"A pretty auntie not an uncle?" I asked as I took the gift box from her and as I lifted my head to respond. I saw that she was running away already.

"Hey..." I tried to get her attention as I stood up, but she was gone. I sat back down and unwrapped the gift box. I was surprised by what was in the box.

There were baby shoes and with a note that said "Congratulations, you are going to be a step-mom. I will be there soon." In a flash, Kelvin snatched the box from me.

"Oh, When did you come?" I asked. "Why do you have this in your hand? Who gave it to you?" He asked.

"Huh? Yeah, some young girl. She said someone...," I tried to explain but he just got angry, threw the box away and as I tried to reach for it.

He turned me to him "Some random girl gave you a gift box and you opened it? How unsafe is that? Are you not scared for yourself? What if something has happened to you? He explained.

I just thought I was being foolish about it and he was right to be annoyed. "I'm sorry okay" I apologised and continued "besides the content doesn't make sense. I think she made a mistake or a prank". I explained.

He took my hand and said "Let us just go back to our suite." We left the box there and headed to our suite.

Some weeks after

Emerging from the veil of slumber, I found myself smiling as it has been exactly twelve whole months since I said "I do" and promised to be Kevin's Happily Ever After. I turned to wake Kelvin up only to see that he's up already. I got up and did my morning routine. I went downstairs to see he was already setting the table. At the edge if the stairs, I folded my arms and looked at this sweet, loving man that I get to call my husband.

"Hey Beautiful" He said when he looked up to see me. I rewarded him with a full smile as I responded "Hey love".

"Good morning, come come" He said as he gestured for me to come to him. I went to him and hugged him "Good morning Love". He placed a sweet kiss on my forehead.

"You made breakfast" I said as I looked around to see what was served.

"Yeah, nothing too fancy thpugh. we have Pancakes with Maple Syrup, Scrambled eggs, sausage, cheese and your favourite green smoothie. I didn't realise we didn't have spinach so it is banana, almond milk and protein powder. Do I get a pass?.  He asked looking at me expectantly. I pretended to think about it when he smiled.

I turned in his arms and pulled his cheeks like a baby. "You did absolutely well."

"Happy wedding anniversary" He said

"Happy wedding anniversary" I said at the same time he said his. We laughed then he continued. "Thank you for 12 beautiful months. I love you so much. I feel so blessed to have you as my wife and get to spend forever with you."

"I love you too." I replied and gave him a kiss on the lips. "Come, come, let's eat. We didn't want you late to work today." He pulled my chair out and made me sit.

He sat down, made small talks and fed each other. I washed my hands and was about to take my car keys when I heard Kelvin say,

"Take." He stretched to give me a small paper bag. "What is this?" I asked curious to see what I am getting this time. "Open it" He said.

"Okay." I pulled a gift box put of the bag and sat down. "Wow!" I exclaimed as I threw my arms around his neck in gratitude.

"Yeah, it's your first anniversary gift. Happy Anniversary". He said.
