Chapter 61: chapter 61

Five years later,        I touched the empty bed near me. Chris was absent. I rubbed my eyes and looked at the clock it showed 11. I yawned and came to the kitchen to get some water."Ian, what are you doing?" I caught him while he fed himself a big scoop of ice cream into his mouth.Ian Thomas Rovan, name of one of our fraternal twins. We named another one Christina by mingling our names Christopher and Ana."Mom! Please!" He showed his baby eyes.Aww! How can I be mad at those beautiful green eyes?Like Hope and Chris, we shared a special bond. He is literally small Chris both in appearance and personality, sweet, loving, caring, bit lazy, flirty, and bitchy to your enemies, bit tempered and handsome boy with green eyes.I wiped his mouth, "Fine! This is your last warning cause only you have a big day for us tomorrow".He smiled showing his teeth, "Yes, I love whenever visit them".Tomorrow, we are going to celebrate the 20th birth anniversary of Christopher Havens. My kids always loved to be there."Right, if you wanna go there, go to your bed, now".He kissed my cheeks, "Good night, Mommy".He ran upstairs to sleep. I followed him. Making sure he slept I covered him in Sheets and turned off the lights.When I crossed the girl's room, the lights were still on. It's so past their bedtime. What they are doing? I heard Chris's husky voice.I know it's a stupid thing to think that. But my mind bought me back to what happened to me behind the closed doors. So, I opened the door with my fast-beating heart.I smiled at what's happening. They are so spoiled by their Dad.They are listening intently to the story Chris saying. They giggled and laughed. I let out a relaxed breath."Hope! Christina! What are you doing? It's past your bedtime".Chris stood up. He was in his Red night t-shirt and sweatpants, "Hey!" "What are you doing here? You know we need to wake up early" I stared at him."Don't blame them. I'm the one who woke them up. I told a story to them before dinner and I stopped in mid. I wanted to give an ending...so..." He rubbed his neck."Christopher! Now!" I pointed him out."Sorry, girls. Bye! Good night!" He gave them a swift kiss on their heads and ran away."I think I'm the only one adult here " I sighed, "Girls, to the bed" I ordered them.They rolled their eyes at me and went to sleep.I hate to do this. But at least one of us should be strict. So, they love Chris more than me.Christina is like me, confident, has good leadership, sincere one, loves to work. Hope is work while you work and play while you play. No matter what, she is always Daddy's first girl.Hope and Ian never fought. But, Ian and Christina had a bigger ego. We need to separate them every ten minutes. Justin and Hope were so understanding and they became best friends like Me and Jamie.Sadly, Little died a year ago. Chris was devastated by that. But, I and the kids cheered him eventually by adopting another labrador and naming him as Shadow. Shadow and Roger got along only after three months. Roger thought we replaced little with Shadow. It took some time for him to understand it. In short, I and Chris were content and happy with our lives.I came to my bedroom with a pissed face. But when I entered the room, it turned into a smile.Lights were turned off and he lighted the candles. Rose petals were scattered all over the bed and he litted the scented candles.He came behind kissing my neck, "I know you'll be pissed. So, this is the surprise"."You can't control me like this all the time".He raised his eyebrows, "Try me".I smiled and kissed him. He took me to the bed and unbuttoned my shirt, "I'm gonna show you how irresistible I can be".After we finished, I rest inside his chest. He wrapped his arms around me and ran his hands over my smooth skin which gave me goosebumps.He asked, "Are you still mad at me?""How can I be with this sexy face?" I kissed his arms."I knew it" he hitted his forehead with mine, "So, umm...listen...why don't we do that again in this week?""I was about to ask. When we return from Christopher Haven's we'll do that"."Yayy!" He hugged me happily, "Thanks for that idea".Day after morning,      After dropping children in school. I came to his coffee shop. It was closed and I sat at the table exactly where I first met him. I wore the same red midi beneath my black overcoat, flat sandals, big black watch accompanied with a marble black dot bracelet.A few minutes later, he came inside wearing the same blue Oxford long sleeve shirt, black jeans, and coolers.I stood up, he removed his coolers, and gazed at me from top to bottom analyzing my features, as he did on his first day.I parted my lips and stretched out my right hand, "Hi, My name is Ana"."Christopher Rovan" he smiled.We took our seats opposite to each other, "So, shall we start?" I asked.He smiled and nodded. I pressed the play button in my voice recorder, "So, tell me Christopher Rovan, How much do you love your wife?"He held my hands in his and looked at me with love, "So much, that I want to relieve this moment once a week or maybe twice. How about her?""She wants the coffee that she rejected on her first day".He smirked, "On its way"."But apart from that, she can't imagine a world without him. She wants to do this even if we were 60 and our hairs turned into gray"."We will" he winked.Coffee came and we took our sips staring at each other with love.                              -The End- Â
