"Hey babe let's hear your point on this hypothetical question

"Not again,not one of those mad questions of yours butterfly."

"Let me "

"No no no. Your sceneries and are out of this universe... You are not about to draw another hypothesis that questions my love for you?"

"Are you kidding me right now?No way babe..haha that's not the case and you no it,, it's just for the fun of asking and learning from your point of view just trying to know your own approach to life situations...I don't question your affection,I have never done that,I don't even see the need to... you're not just my husband you are my friend and not just any friend but one who has earn it.. and I trust you without remorse."...smiles.

They share gazes for a while then Celeste bent her face towards his and brush his lips with hers

"I get scared sometimes...I get scared of ever betraying the trust you have in me"

"Now who's getting uncertain about things now?... c'mon I know you won't."

"Not uncertain butterfly, it's just that you can't predict the future you know, certain things are out of our control. but No matter what happens I want you to know you are the only woman I have ever love and if it's not you,it's not anyone."

"Stop talking like that you ain't planning to die on me are you?... listen to me nothing is going to happen... we will grow old and toothless together...I don't see anything changing the way I feel about you...I love you"

She bent again and kiss him lightly barely a tough of the lips

"Am not planning to do the toothless thing with you though...its not me you won't to give a stressful life...whats the point of living If I can't chew hard nuts anymore...old but not toothless madam.... and Don't tell me that's all I get"

"What?"

"That kiss is only an appetizer... let's get nasty and freaky butterfly"

"You spoilt naughty bastard"

He gave her a sexy wink

"A very hot and romantic bastard you mean."

"Get out!"

"To where?... what are you going to tell that precious little human growing up in there happened to dad when he /she finally arrived"

"I will just say dad was being a dick head one Sunday evening and I made him disappear."

He was gonna say something when a knock sounded on their door

"I will answer the door"

Raymond said and arose
On opening the door Melissa was standing there rubbing her palm

"Hi Mr Kings"

"Hello Miss Bruce how are you doing today?"

"Am good today and you?"

"Am fine too...what brought you around"

"I felt it is polite to come say thanks to the wonderful man who helped me out with my door yesterday."

"Oh, Don't be so witty it's nothing really, hope the door has been fixed now?"

"Yes it has thankyou..."

"Baby who is there?"

Celeste asked before opening the door and coming face to face with Melissa

"Hi"

Melissa greeted upon seeing her

"Hello"

Celeste answered turning to look at her husband questioningly for explanations or something because she hasn't seen the lady before

"Hey Miss Bruce meet my beautiful wife.

"Awwwwnnnn, that's so thoughtful of you Melissa, am Celeste. Welcome to the estate"

She said opening her arms to hug Melissa

"Thanks for the warmth Mrs Kings"

"No Mrs Kings please let's do first name. Call me Celeste it makes me feel myself"
She laughs

"Alright Celeste thankyou"

"You are welcome Melissa, hope you are enjoying your new apartment?"

"Except for being bored most of the time, yes I am."

"Am glad you are,but boredom is really dangerous...why not come in for a drink with us and dinner is upon us we should have it together... come in Melissa"

"You are so adorable Celeste.. I would really love to but I don't mean to interrupt your peace and space...."

" No buts girl...for goodness sake you are a new neighbor and you are not interrupting anything... c'mon just so you know I do not take 'NO' for an answer"

"You should come in Miss Bruce Celeste is a real great cook you don't wanna miss this dinner."

"That's an hyperbole Ray"

"No exaggeration butterfly I have always loved your cookings...not the first time I am saying so."

"Really? am in then"
