A beautiful morning

The next morning Lelia woke up feeling extremely hungry, she glanced at the wall clock in the room.

It was just seven o'clock in the morning, so she got out of the bed and walked to the bathroom where she freshened up, after that she left the room.

Outside the room, she was greeted by a pleasant aroma of food that made her stomach to churn.

"Oh this smells delicious" she muttered and started walking towards the direction of the smell.

She reached the kitchen, opened the door and went in, "good morning babe, how was your night?" Jake greeted when she came into the kitchen.

"My night was great but I am super hungry" Lelia replied going closer to Jake who was cooking at the stove.

"Hmm, this look yummy, I can't wait to eat it" she commented peering into the pot.

"Last night food also looked yummy but you slept off before I could finish" Jake replied, breaking an egg into a plate.

"You should have woke me up then, I just missed a delicious food" she pouted.

"Come here" Jake pulled her closer and hugged her tightly.

"You were sleeping so peacefully, I couldn't bear to disturb you in your peaceful sleep".

"Okay babe, I must be super tired from work which made me to sleep off".

"Yeah and that's why I want you to just go and wait for me in the dining room while I serve you a delicious breakfast" he said, turning her around so that she was now facing him.

"Okay babe, love you", Lelia tiptoed and pecked him on the cheek and then walked out of the kitchen.

She went to the dining room and sat down to wait for Jake to finish cooking.

The dining room has beautiful chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and the walls were decorated with expensive paintings from her favourite artists.

Just as she was looking around, her eyes caught a sight in the fireplace.

"What the hell?" she stood up from her chair and walked to the fire place, she reached there, squatted down and reached her hands on the apron of the fireplace.

"This looks like someone touched it but who could it be?" she muttered as she continued examining it.

"I think I will check the CCTV later"

"What are you doing?" Jake has entered the dining room, carrying a tray of food.

"Oh, nothing, I am just wiping out dust" Lelia lied and stood up.

"Leave it babe, the cleaning lady will take care of it" Jake said going to the dining table to drop the food.

"But she is not coming till Saturday "Lelia walked to the dining and sat down.

"Today is Saturday, babe"

"Oh my goodness, it is?, I really overworked myself yesterday" she said.

"Well regain your strength with this delicious food", Jake placed the one of the plate of food in front of her.

"Thanks babe, you are the best" Lelia took the spoon and started eating.

"You are welcome" Jake sat down and started eating too.

"By the way, do you have plans today?"

"No, I am totally free" she replied.

"Perfect, there is a place that I want us to go tomorrow" he remarked.

"Oh nice, where is that?"

"It is a secret, my cutie babe"

"Boomer" she pouted.

Jake chuckled softly stabbing his omelet as he took a spoonful and ate, "so after we have visited the place you wanted us to I want us to visit the amusement park" Lelia began.

"Why the amusement park?"

"Nothing, I just want to go there and after that, we will go to other fun places" she replied.

"That sound nice" Jake agreed.

Just then the house phone started ringing, "who could be that?" Lelia muttered, she stood up and walked to where the house phone was.

"Hello" she greeted when she answered the phone.

"Hello, ma, good morning" the caller greeted back.

"Ivy?, why are you calling me on my house phone?, hope everything is alright?" Lelia asked, concern evident in her voice.

"Everything is fine ma, you weren't picking your phone so I decided to call your dining room phone because I figured you might be having breakfast now" Ivy replied from the other side.

"Yeah I was, so why are you calling me?" Lelia asked.

"Nothing much, just wanted to remind you about your charity program you have by ten o'clock" Ivy replied.

"Fuck !, so it is today. I totally forgot, please go to the office and make sure that everything is ready I will join you soon" she instructed.

"Okay ma, I will do just as you said" Ivy replied.

"Thank you Ivy, I really appreciate", after saying that Lelia hang up the call.

She kept the phone back on the hook and turned to Jake, her face showing disappointment.

"What's going on?" Jake asked seeing her face.

Lelia came back to her seat and sighed, "turns out that I had a program today" she replied.

"Oh, but that's fine, we can do whatever we went another day"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes babe, just go and do what you need to do, and by the way what's the program?" he asked.

"It is a charity program I am doing for a special force of the army that just came back from a successful mission" she replied.

"That is really nice, this is a more reason why you should go, the soldiers really need our supports and encouragement. This is very nice of you to remember them, babe"

"Awn, you are making me blush, it is nothing much. Just doing what my Daddy taught me" Lelia said, smiling.

After eating she helped Jake to clear the dishes but he didn't allowed her to join him in washing it.

"Let me just rinse it while you wash?"

"No, go and prepare for the program that you have" Jake said.

Lelia had no choice but to go and prepare as she was told by her boyfriend, she walked to the bedroom and started preparing.

Standing at the front of her wardrobe, she searched with her eyes for a perfect cloth to wear but she couldn't pick one.

Then an idea came to her head and she rushed to the small table beside the bed and took her phone.

She opened her contacts and was about to call someone when a call came to her phone, it was Ivy.

"Hello Ivy, how is everything going?" she asked once the line was connected.

"It is going great ma, ma I want to ask if we should also bring those items marked S?" Ivy asked.

"Yes, they are also part of the package" Lelia replied.

"Okay ma, see you soom, I 'm hanging up"

"No, wait Ivy "

"What is it ma?"

"Um, I am in situation here, I don't know which cloth to wear" she replied.

"Okay ma, wait let me call you on video call" Ivy then hung up and then called her on video call immediately.

With the video call Ivy helped Lelia to select an outfit with shoes and bag, after that Lelia thanked her and then ended the video call.

She then went to her dressing mirror and sat down on the stool there, she pulled out of the compartments of the cupboard there and brought out her makeup kit.

She used ten minutes to apply a simple make up on her face, after that she was good to go.

"Time to go and show kindness to people" she commented, took her bag and left the room.

"Whoa, you look stunning !, I think I 'm going to go blind. Your beauty is shining like the sun !" Jake exclaimed when Lelia walked into the living room.

"Of course I am, the only beautiful Lelia in this world" she said, twirling around.

Jake walked up to her and caught her waist, he held him and then leaned down capturing her lips in a quick kiss.

"You are so naughty" Lelia said after they broke the kiss.

"You made me this way ,babe. How about I steal another kiss?"

"Sure" Lelia tiptoed and kissed him on the lips, afterwards she hugged him while saying she needs to go.

"Okay babe, see you when you come back" Jake said.

"Yeah take care" after another hug, Lelia finally left the living room and went out of the house.

A car was already waiting for her outside, as she made her way to the car, the driver saw her coming and got out to open the door for her.

She slide into the car and the driver closed the door and went back to his seat, "so where are we going now, ma?" the driver asked once he has settled down.

"To the company Clark, turns out I was the only one that forgot about today, even you remembered and prepared" Lelia replied.

"Well ma Ivy made sure that we all got your programs for the weeks and the cars we should prepare" the driver said.

"Please start driving we don't want to keep ma Ivy waiting"

"Okay ma" the driver started the car and drove away.
