"Good morning." He greeted as I rushed for office. Why the hell am I so sleepy?
"Morning." I replied with a slight smile.
"How such a swap of words? I'd forgotten how good sounded from his mouth." Mommy smiled.
"Eve's magic." Daddy laughed.
"Yeah daddy. The same magic that made me oversleep and here I am late for the office." I said gulping down the juice.
"Sit and eat Eve." Mommy scolded.
"Uh no no! I'm late. Love you! Bye." I said and turned to leave.
"Eve! No love you. Finish the breakfast!" She shouted as I reached the door.
"Please mommy." I requested.
"Eve nourishment." Daddy said.
"I'll drop you. Take it in your hand." He spoke.
"You both are so stubborn. Already you wear such risky heels and then you hop around. Seriously?" Mommy ranted.
I blew a kiss. "Bye!" I said as we finally left.

I shouldn't have agreed or what?

"Have it." He said with a same impassive look.
I looked at him.
Will you change so quickly?
He looked at me as the gate keeper saluted us.

"What?" He said smirking.
"Nothing." I looked at the franky in my hand.

"You're not too late. It's alright." He said.
I thought last night won't change anything. But it did. Now I see. He was talking while I felt flustered.

"Do you want me to feed you? Come." He took the franky from my hand and putting one hand under my chin moved the roll infront of my mouth.
I rolled my eyes.
"I don't have a bib." He smirked again.
"Do you mean to say I'm a cry baby?" My expression sank.
"What?" He rubbed his hand on his face.
"Hopeless." He muttered then with one hand holding the franky, adjusted the gears.

"I'm not hopeless. You are hopeless." I muttered suddenly feeling agitated.
"Took you long enough to come back." He said darkly.
"Give me my breakfast." I huffed.
"Have it. And don't you dare leave without finishing it." He spoke as the engine reignited to life.
"Who do you think you are to tell me what to do?" I asked.
"Your husband." He said.
"I have the full right to advice you. And post consequences depend on me." He spoke.
The car stopped at the traffic light. He gripped the steering with his left hand and looked outside.
"You're bipolar. You said..." I shook my head. I told you I'll regret it.
"That is different. You don't.." He started.
"I don't want to listen." I looked at his hand.
His watch was showing time to me. Call me hopeless.
I gave him a disgusted look.
"I didn't even touch you." He said suddenly frowning.
"So you agree that I get disgusted." I folded my arms.
"No. I don't." He said.
"Then?"
"You telling me or not?"
"No."
"Fine." He said exasperated.
I gently placed a hand on his wrist and shifted back his coat sleeve.
He looked at me then to where I was pointing.
"Oh!" He said and left the steering.
"Woah woah!" I said holding the steering. He then placed his hand on mine by mistake.
I jerked mine, gulping and he lifted his to free mine.
"I swear if I die due to a head on, I'll kill you." I threatened.
"If you'll die, then I'll die as well." He said solemnly.
What duck?

"Pardon?"
"Yeah I mean if you die due to the head on then I'll die as well no. We're in the same car." He explained.
Just wait heart. I'll block you.

"Let me do it." I said slowly bringing his hand near mine. Then I clicked the button which made the watch loose on him.
I was going to turn his hand when he suddenly withdrew it. The watch fell on my lap.
I looked at him.
"Uh.. I'll do it myself." He said.
I looked outside.
This is just so embarrassing.
Kill me.






The car was overfilled with awkward silence. I could feel him gazing at me but I refused to look.
Why did I think enough to care?

Why did I let my heart melt?
I need a session. A proper session with my brain.
I've lost it.

"Hey! I didn't mean to..."
