I blinked, feeling as if I had been sleeping for an extended period of time. Sean was fast asleep with my hand holding him next to me when I turned my face. I let go of his hand and rose slowly so as not to wake him up. I slowly opened and closed the bedroom door leading to the kitchen. This morning, I'd like to make breakfast for Sean.
Because it was still too early, no one was seen in the kitchen. I washed my face in the bathroom near the kitchen and looked in the refrigerator to see what I could cook this morning. Aunt Jen hurriedly entered the kitchen, lowered her head, and apologized to me after I took out the ingredients for breakfast this morning and was about to process them. "It's okay, Aunt Jen," I said, shaking my head. "I awoke too early because I went to bed too early last night and wanted to cook for my husband this morning."
"Is there anything else I can do for you, Madam?" Aunt Jen grinned.
"There's no need, auntie; just a quick breakfast." I prefer to do things on my own. I almost never cook for my husband. I think I will start from now. Don't worry about me, auntie can do other things," I replied.
"Alright, ma'am. If Madam requires any assistance, simply ring the bell. We will be here in seconds." Aunt Jen responded with a smile.
I nodded and returned to the ingredients I had taken out earlier. It didn't take long to make Sean's favorite sandwich for breakfast this morning. When I returned to the room after finishing, Sean was still sleeping and not moving. I slowly walked to the bathroom to clean myself up after cooking earlier.
Sean was still sleeping when I came out of the bathroom, but he was in a different position when I came in from the kitchen. I walked up to him and kissed his cheek. I let my still-wet hair fall onto his face. When a few drops of water hit his face, his eyeballs moved but his eyes remained closed. He reached over my body and tickled my stomach while his eyes were still closed.
Sean let me go after I shouted surrender. I moved away from him right away, but he followed me and tried to catch up with me. Sean caught me as I tried to flee the room and kissed my hair. "Morning my Lily." That word took me by surprise. Sean kissed my forehead and asked, "Do you like me calling you Lily?" "I got it while watching you sleep last night."Sean brushed my hair. "But only me who can call you Lily." I just nodded in agreement because Lily was what Emily called by. My mom and dad used to call me lily when they were still alive.
No one called me that after they died. I didn't feel as if I was crying. Sean panicked when he saw me crying, saying, "Hey...hey, what's wrong? "What is the problem?"I shook my head immediately. "I am very happy and touched," I replied, sobbing slightly. Sean hugged me and stroked my back to make me feel better.
After a few moments, Sean let go of his hug and wiped the tears from my cheeks, "Are you going to be like this every time I call you Lily? Well.. I'd better stop doing it, I don't want my wife's eyes to get swollen." I gently pinched Sean's stomach which was teasing me but he screamed loudly as if I was molesting him so I showered him with another pinch. Sean fled into the bathroom laughing and I managed to smack his back before he shut the door and shouted "Go Showering now!!! "I shook my head and laughed because I could still hear Sean laughing in the bathroom.
When I heard the sound of the water faucet being turned on, I went to my dressing table and left Sean alone in the bathroom. I'm drying my hair while checking my phone. A message from Ryan arrived on my phone, inquiring about the project Katelyn was working on, which was approaching the submission deadline.
He requested a meeting to discuss several aspects of the project. I haven't responded to Ryan's message because I want to consult with Sean first. I put down my phone and began combing my lovely long hair. When I turned around, I saw Sean emerge from the bathroom, rubbing his hair with a towel. I went up to him. "Want me to help you dry your hair?" I proposed.
Sean cheerfully handed me the towel and escorted me to my dressing table. He sat in the chair I usually sit in while getting ready. His hands hugged my stomach tightly, and he closed his eyes and laid his head on my stomach, as if he was enjoying all of this. This makes drying my hair difficult and time consuming.
" Thank you my Livy " as he smiled to me as I told him its done.
" Why Livy.. not Lily..who you refer to? Who is Livy ? " I exclaimed and turn away.
Sean surprise when hearing my voice tone. He grabbed my hand and then hold my cheeks " Wait..wait a minute. What did you mean ? LIVY… Lily my wife..L I V Y.. did you get it ? Only me who can call you LIVY..understand ? "
I felt embraressed when heard his explanation. Oh my Gosh, whats wrong with me.I just burst out as soon as I heard he mentioned someone else name… a woman name.
Sean pinched my cheeks gently and hugged me a moment. Then he teased me " Are you jealous ? " His face shown a great joy and laughed " Oh you know how happy I am right now? "
I awkwardly tried to avoid him but he keep my chest around his hand " So what do you called me then ? " he asked.
" Ehm.. Sean Bee.. Sean my Bee . How about that ? " I answered.
" Sean Bee.. Sean my Bee " He repeated and nodded his head. " Call me Sean bee from now own..okay and I'll call you Livy "
After streighten up the misunderstanding among us, I escorted Sean out of the room to eat the breakfast I had prepared because we had missed dinner the night before.
