Be Your Own Spring novel Chapter 74

That thing made me squirm in my seat and I quickly averted my gaze.

"Good?" Kezr asked me and I answered him truthfully.

"Wevy, wevy...gweed!" He raised his eyebrow, "Eat your food first"

I swallowed down the food and took my tongue out opening my mouth to show him. He nodded and bit his lip.

Why does he keep biting his lip? And why is it so hot in here?

"It's really good" I told him and asked him for his phone.

He gave it to me and I opened 'notes' and typed in my new favorite dish. I have been adding dishes names to his phone as I love them and want to eat them again.

I handed him his phone and he looked at the screen and bursted out laughing.

Everybody looked at us while I kept looking at him, smiling myself.

"Zella, darling, what is this dish?" Kezr asked controlling his laughter.

"Uh... Why?" I asked suspiciously.

"Just tell me." He leaned forward and put his chin on his palm.

"Mousekakas" I said smiling proudly.

He chuckled and laughed whole heartedly. I just kept smiling at him.

I saw the waitress from the corner of my eyes and saw her smiling at us.

"What?" Kezr asked with a huge smile on his face.

"Uh... Mousekakas?" I said this time not so proudly.

He laughed one last time, "You mean... Moussakas?" He said amusement floating in his eyes.

"Uh.. Yeah Mousekakas." I said unsure. He chuckled.

"Moussakas, say it with me."

"Mousekakas."

"No-" he smiled, "Mouss"

"Mouss" I repeated.

"Good, -Akas"

"Akas"

"Good! Now, Moussakas"

"Mousekakas"

He chuckled and shook his head.

"You know what? Yea, Mousekakas."

"Yay! Thanks K."

He smiled and shook his head.

I continued eating my Mousekakas while Kezr kept looking at me.

"You're beautiful."

My eyes widened.

"Really?" No one has called me beautiful since 3 years.

"Yes you're beautiful, and all mine." He grabbed my hand and placed a kiss on it, making me blush.... My heart!

"Yes, you're very beautiful." I heard a voice say and Kezr's head snapped towards the voice, making my eyes widen.

She never called me baby.

What the fuck is this four year old even doing with my wife?

"Who the fuck even gives a girl a pine cone?"

"Language Kezr." Rozella said trying to sound all angry but she looks like a cute lioness.

"Yeah language Kwezr" The little shit spoke making me divert my attention to him.

"And for giving her a pine cone-" he said turning towards Zella, who smiled at him really widely.

I wanted to wipe her smile off her face for the first time.

"-It's because, I didn't have a rose and wanted to give you that, but instead Mama handed me a pine cone saying that you would like it."

"Aww"

"Eww"

"It's not eww, it's cute." Rozella said placing the pine cone in the center of our table.

I rolled my eyes and took the pine cone and threw it at the ground, crushing it with my feet.

I heard gasps, and looked up at Rozella while smirking only to see her eyes widened at the now crushed pine cone.

I heard a whimper and looked at the boy to see him on the verge of tears.

My smirk grew wider.

Is it bad that I don't feel bad?

I don't think so, and even if it is, I don't fucking care.

Rozella's eyes snapped towards the boy and she patted the couch spot beside her, signaling him to sit with her. "It's okay, come here, baby."
