You're always mine | Espresso x Madeleine [Might Rewrite Soon]

A day with Madeleine (Extra Chapter)

My name is Madeleine. I have an awesome boyfriend and a very annoying family. Though I'm happy they accepted Espresso in the end. At least now, my boyfriend has a place to be himself and to call home. It has been at least a week after the Espresso's family incident and I don't want to bring that up. I wouldn't want to make him sad.

Every day when I get home, my boyfriend is always there in the couch. Not sitting but "closing his eyes" as he would suggest to call it.

"How long has he been asleep here?" I asked to one of my maid.
"About 25 minutes, Sir." She said and I picked him up bridal style and went in our room. As I placed him down I kissed his forehead and went to shower.

It has been like this since and I'm very happy. Knowing I have someone to go home to and take care of makes me at ease.

On the 4 years of our breakup I really tried looking for someone like Espresso. It's safe to say that he's one of a kind and no one was close to being like him. He's hardworking, modest, smart and very pretty. Though the last one is a given, there's no need for me to say that. Even if people tell him he looks like a piece of garbage bag, he'll always look beautiful to me. I'm so glad we didn't go our separate ways.

Just the thought of Espresso makes me happy. Very happy.

His cooking is also one thing I love about him. He's been living by himself since he was 19, of course his cooking is phenomenal. I really adore him. I'm so lucky and I want to share it to the world. I want to brag about him and show him off.

Though me and his brother isn't too far off. I too was being overflown by compliments that I forgot how to be humble. I always relied on my families business so I didn't worry about anything. But with Espresso around, I always stay grounded and learned how to be thankful for everything. He's really the greatest.

One day while I'm at University I got a call from Espresso's driver. Since he doesn't like driving and I'm busy with my own job, I assigned him one. He even said no but I insisted it. Thankfully I did, because if not this would have escalated badly.

"Sir, there are people holding him back. What should I do?" The driver asked. It's good that he's asking for permission though at times that he looks grumpy, he really shouldn't and just grab him.

"Get him out of there. Update me later." I said as he hangs up the call. Though I am quite concerned. I know Espresso can handle everything and anything but sometimes I just want to pamper him. I wanna cherish him everyday but then again, he is a grown man like me.

I must have been lost in thought for a long time because the door to my office opened widely and Espresso sat on one of the couches in front of the desk. He must've requested the driver to go here.

I stood up and sat beside him. He's clearly upset.
"What's wrong?" I asked. He let's out a big sigh before talking.

"My parents went to my office. NOW they see me. Jeez. I know I said I'll confront them but showing up on my work department is asking for trouble. I was gonna talk to them eventually but what they did was ridiculous." Espresso ranted.

I just hugged him and let him rant some more. Talking about his parents and his work. Now his head is on my lap making hand gestures with his adorable grumpy face. Though I find it cute, he needs someone to listen to his stress and worries.

"How are you feeling?" I asked after he finished talking.
"I'm feeling better. Though I really need to talk to my parents so they don't pull a stunt like that again. Maybe next week. I'm free next week." Espresso said. I just nod.

"I'll take care of it. I'll get them to come to the house just name a date." I said as he kissed my cheek.
"Thank you. That's why I love you." He said. Now I'm flustered.
"I love you too. Wait here, I'm almost done with work." I said as I walk back to my desk.

Most partners will be annoyed when their lovers rant, but for me I'm happy that mine did. After all, miscommunication was the reason why we broke up before. I don't want that to happen again. Ever.

I like where I am today. I'd rather die than be sad as I live a life without Espresso. He's my everything. In sickness and in health.

As we get home, Espresso went and take a shower. He always goes in the shower first because if I did he will pass out before he could even change his clothes. People might say that I'm the one in control of the house rules because I'm the "man" of the house because I'm older and bigger than Espresso but it's actually reversed. What he says goes because let's all be honest, I can't survive life even if I tried. I had it easy my whole childhood that I always need a "right hand man" or an adviser of some sort. And who better person to fit that role is none other than the love of my life. Don't get the wrong idea, he isn't controlling me or something. Afar from what people think he's actually asking me permission first before he initiate what plan he has. Though there are some arguements here and there but what's a relationship without a little banter.

Our day starts with breakfast then I drop Espresso at his work and go to mine. After that we go home, have dinner and then force him to sleep most of the time because he gets so invested in his cases. There's even one time we argued because he was so close to figuring out who the suspect was but it was already 3AM and I was pushing him to sleep. I admit, I was wrong for disturbing his work but he was also wrong because I'm just trying to take care of him. He has the rest of the day but he said "I concentrate more at night." that's just stupid. But we made up in the morning and had a date after that.

My life have had meaning ever since Espresso came and our breakup had made me realize I really can't live without him. Though I've repeated that multiple times but I just can't help it, he really did bring out the best in me.
