"So, you're just going to ignore the fact that Iam cheating on you?" I said huskily, still in the haze of the kiss.
He smiled and said, "Well, are you? Cheating on me?"
I shook my head and instantly denied, "No, I'd never, I love you, idiot, too much."
He smiled at me and kissed me. This time gently. I kissed him back and slapped his booty cheeks causing a slap sound to echo on the roof which caused me to burst out laughing.
I looked at him to see him pouting and that made me a laugh more.
"It's not funny!" He complaint and glared at me.
"I-it is. Tit f-or Tat." I said in between my laughter.
"My wife's a bully"
"Only for my love" I circled my hands around his neck and jumped on his back.
"Piggy back ride!!" I screamed and he flinched and said, "Shut up Rozella, Ma will come and break us apart again. You know I can't sleep without you."
I replied with an small 'oopsie' and smiled at his last sentence. "Me too, I'll miss you too much K."
"Even if it's for one night?" He said and started walking with me on his back.
"Yes, I love you too much to not miss you." He chuckled and spun me around so now I was in front of him with my legs on either side of his waist.
"I love you"
"I love you"
He tilted his head and asked, "Why do you always say I love you and not I love you too?"
I just shrugged and replied, "Because... I love you too sounds like I have an obligation to love you, like I love you only when you love me. But that's not the case. I have always loved you. Always will. And I love you. Cause I had begun loving you even before we tried this whole marriage thingy."
My rant caused a wide smile to appear on his lips, "Iam really lucky to have you Zella, really lucky. Please love, forgive me for what I did and said earlier. I regret it. Always will. I was just stupid at that time. I thought you didn't deserve me, but it's you whom I don't deserve. I love you very very much Zella. Very much. Please forgive me love. Please."
I smiled at him and pressed a long kiss to his forehead and when I pulled away I saw his eyes closed and a content smile on his face.
"I forgive you baby, I do. I love you. The past is in the past. Forget about it. This is our future." I said showing him the ring he gave me.
He smiled at me and begin leaning towards me. He joint our lips making me giggle.
He pulled away, "What's so funny?"
"Zella, baby it-" Kezr's voice was blocked out as I heard Layla clinging the tongs.
That sound. Stop it! Stop it.
"Stop it. Stop her. Make it go away!" I kept chanting it causing Kezr to stop his movement on my hair.
"Baby, what do I stop? Talk to me love? I'll tell her no, if you want me to. No one can take you away from me. Just don't cry, Zelli."
I was snatched away from Kezr by my hand, "Come with me, dear. You aren't allowed to be with him today. Be with him tomorrow" She kept talking and talking but all I could feel was my body being frozen and my mind to go hazy.
"Rozella!" My body was shaken and my eyes snapped open to see Kezr looking at me worridly.
"It's something else. Tell me what? Why did you almost faint?" He asked immediately.
"Ella, are you okay?" Maria came beside me and held me up.
I shook her away from me only to be with Kezr right now.
I hugged him and cried on his shoulder. "Make these memories go away, tell them to stop haunting me. Make her go away, tell her to stop."
