Sweetness of Love

"Thank God for bringing you come my way, it's been one blessing or the other since the first day you spent a night in my house." Melvin said with a big smile of fulfilment as he was touching Marg's cheek.

They were lying on the bed, talking and appreciating each other for being a blessing to each other's life. Saying sweet things to each other.

Melvin knows words to use to melt a woman's heart. They were happily married with kids. Few minutes as they were in their moment, Angel knocked asking to come in.

"Angel what are you doing out there?" Marg. asked.

"Mommy I want to see my brother, she said still banging the door with her little hand.

The door wasn't giving a heavy sound like someone was hitting it, the sound was more like using a broom to beat the door.

"Where is aunty Nene," Melvin asked as they were still laying down.

"I don't know daddy," she said with the attempt to cry.

"Darling let us let her in, maybe she misses her brother," she said.

"It's okay sweetheart," She made attempt to stand up but Melvin stopped her and offered to get the door.

Angel came, walked down to the middle of the bed where her brother was lying and wanted to touch him but she was restricted so that he won't wake up.

She was later ordered back to her room which she did left for. "Junior looks so cute like his father when he sleeps." Melvin praised smiling and touching his beard. They laughed over it and slept afterwards. Melvin like to go outing with his wife.

He takes her to places he discover while going to flex with his friends. If he notices any new place, he takes his wife there for the weekend or probably Sundays.

"Honey there is this new place I discovered with my friends, their food and snacks is so brainwashing, you will like it." He said in hyperbole as they were having breakfast.

"Hmmmmmm! No I wouldn't want to go there,"she said teasingly as she sipped her drink.

"Why?" Believe me you will like the place," he said convincingly.

"Because you said their food and snacks is brainwashing, I can't go to a place where I will eat and pay my money and lost my brain," she said and they both laughed.

Later that evening, they went out to the luxury restaurant, while their Nanny looked after the house and the kids.

Their bills this time is not always being splitted unlike Charles who mandated they split bill until they start bringing forth children.

"What a childlike talk," Melvin said looking really serious. He continued, "I promise to be a better man than him, I know it will be hard for you to believe that but just sit and watch how I will cherish you for the rest of my life, I know there is nothing I can say to take off the memory you already had and the reservation you also have about men, he might have told you everything I am telling you now but I will forever love you, even in death," he tried convincing Marg. With so much words and to take her out of her imaginable past.

"It is really hard to believe that a husband would do what Charles did to me, but it is fine, I am giving love a second chance, and I pray God I don't regret it," she said in a very sad mood.

They got into such sad moment when Melvin was trying to say sweet things to her but she was looking at him like she has heard everything he had to say.

"It's getting later, can we go home now, Junior might need me," she said as sipped her last drink in her cup.

"Waiter, Melvin called out so he could clear the bill. They left for their home and appreciated each other with a warn sex when they got home.

Few years later, Melvin's friends came visiting with their wives. It was more like a house party.

Friend 1, "this morning is really fun you know, after being away for like a whole 3 years and coming back to know that Melvin's family is increasing," Melvin, you didn't tell us... Immediately he said that, friend 2 interrupted teasingly. "Speak for yourself man, he told me, I already know about Junuor."

Friend 3, oh this friendship is now based on partiality right?"

"No guys, you don't have to say that, I tried you guys' number several times, but it never connected, Melvin said in defence as they were eating their sauce meat and having their drinks.

When did you try my number, Friend 3 asked. "

"March, two years ago," he said looking at his wife in confirmation and she said, "Yeah, that's right, that was when I gave birth to Junior."

"Oh, if that's the case, i travelled to Indonesia for a business deal that month," he said trying to take off his face.

They all echoed, Heeeeeeeeyyyyy, and you didn't tell anyone? His wife appealed in defence, " it was really very urgent, when he got the news was a day before he left the country, you guys should pardon him on that."

"You see, I have a good wife, see how defensive she is, friend 3 said and they all laughed over it.

"Let's see this Junior you guys have been talking about," friend 1's wife asked.

"Please go get Junior baby," Melvin said dropping his glass of wine on the centre table.

"Sure, right away," she said and left them to get Junior from the Nanny.

She came back few minutes with him and the wives were happy to see their son.

"Let me carry him please," friend 1's wife stretched her hands to get him and was granted.

They all carried him round and even played with him while they were having their moments.

Each and everyone of them gave him ten thousand each except for the wives before leaving. Their meeting was fun and that was the first time Marg. is experiencing such kind of friendship.

She was overwhelmed but wasn't carried away, she was still being careful of how she act and react to issues in the house so she won't be thrown away for the second time.
