"I'm warning you Liam. Never come closer to any of Christine's bridesmaids", he hushed at his playful brother

Liam chuckled, "Including Ingrid?"

"A shhhhhhit. Liam, don't add any problem into your face. I told you….."

"Yes, I know. I'm not coming to that one. Even if their cute skirts are inviting me", Liam joked

"Liam!"

"I'm walking to the other side, see not on their direction", Liam said and he exhaled

Reception was done in none other than Carl's first restaurant. The guy come and go to his kitchen to know that everything was running smoothly.

He sighed, at least the wedding happened with Liam's black eye laden face almost healed and they also covered other obvious marks on his face for photographic purposes. Carl, Liam and him had an agreement to never talk about that day where the first two brawled again. It took a lot of money to pay that misfortuned room though but at least the hotel management will not press charges

A strong arms grabbed his shoulder to cage his neck. It was an aggressive stance only the arms is slender feminine type and almost smelled like his son. "Did you know who's the famous civil engineer of the new generation?", she asked

"Ho… who?", he stammered trying to control that power grab with his hands

"Osama bin Laden, so don't you dare hurt Tin or even Charlie. I know which column to bomb first in all your manufacturing plant"

He smiled at that threat, "Yes Ms. Jolly, I will"

She released him abruptly, "How did you know?"

"I saw your whole name under your sign on all structural sheets", he said massaging his nape

"Don't you dare tell anybody about it", she threatened and leaned on the wall beside him. He's waiting for Tin to come out of the restroom with Frida and seems the girl was there too for the two

"I love Tin and Charlie. They complete me in an instant", He explained

She glared at him, "Be sure about that old man. I don't want to hear any Trixies and Olgas in the future alright?"

He laughed and put his arms around her shoulder, "I promise, but if our next child a girl…"

"Don't you dare!", she said elbowing him softly

He shaked her shoulder whith that arms around her, "Can you help us find a contractor now that I don't want to work with Monroe. I hate the new boss"

"Sure", she simply answered

"How long does it takes to finish our home?"

"Five months at the very least", she calculated. "It's not like those you can see on tv where they do it in seven days. It's serious construction"

"Can we fast track that? I want to have it done when Tin gave birth", he announced happily. But the girl seems not surprised about that. Of course, she's Tin's close friend

"Aesthetics will take it long. Dude, your wife is an architect. She will prolong it ha ha!"

"How can I make it shorter?", Luke asked, he can't wait to make that house their home

She shrugged, "You have to take as many laborer as you could"

Tin emerged from the confort room with Frida. "Finally!", Luke exhaled

"I'm sorry, it's hard to release with this freaking dress", Tin said

"Hey, that's a freaking nice dress!", Frida exclaimed

She rolled her eyes and tugged Luke, "I can't even eat that much. Can you give me some cake?"

"Anything for you my wife, but after, dance?", he  asked and Tin nodded. They went at the center of the hall catching all the eyes of their guest for his first dance with his Mrs. Roberts

"Did I told you, you look beautiful in that dress Mrs. Roberts?", he said while dancing in the sound of I'm Yours courtesy Mark, her boss, who's been singing two songs already

"And here I am thinking I'm beautiful even in a piece of crap", she said laughing

"Well you are right, but you put to shame all the brides in the world tonight", Luke whispered in her ears

A sound of a female singing an acoustic rendition of Especially for You started. "Finally, the unMark song", Luke joked

Tin smirked at her husband, "Are you still jealous of him?"

"I'm not sure if he's harmless with you"

"You'll get by", she said while leaning on his chest then she looked at him again. "Hey, I still don't know the mystery behind Liam and Carl's fight"

He chuckled, "You know my brother. He always wants to test other's patience"

She shook her head, "I'm happy that you're getting along now. I love that face of yours, so I advise you not doing that again to Carl."

After two weeks of honeymoon and another two weeks of choosing the right contractor, they finally went into their groundbreaking.

They went into the land, Luke's armed with shovel in his hand and the love of his life at the other.

The have high hopes in their making a beautiful creation, next to Charlie of course and their still born child

Foundation was poured, just like their love for each other and their kids. Love will be their anchor like the foundation's hold on those rocks

Concrete column came, standing high like their hopes and dreams

Then those run of concrete beams, suspended slabs where they would run and play with their kids, filling it with so much laughter

Then there's roof to keep them safe from rain and if not, constant glare of the sun. Just like her and Luke to their most beautiful creation….their kids


Seven pm. Every men who worked on their house were gone for the day but both of them were still sitting in front of that Sander City's skyline view with the house' unpainted and untiled exteriors at their back.

Luke took Carl's pick up truck and parked there so that they can see that million dollar view while sitting at the back of the truck.

"Are you sure everyone left?", Luke asked her frowning

"I know they all left. Worked stopped at five pm and no one rendered overtime. What do….hey!", she yelled because Luke suddenly encircled his arms on her and leaned her back on that pick up

"Well that means I can have you alone", he said grinning and devoured her lips

She pushed him "You're such a perv Luke Roberts"

"I just want some romantic time with my wife. You under the stars with the City of the star as the view", Luke teased her. Sander's is the City before Northern Hills where the central government seated and various television and movie production located, thus the City of Stars.

"Well then, it's a date", she said

Luke smiled down at her, "You're fine with this kind of date?"

"Why not? As long as I'm with you"

He shook his head, "That's why I love you Christine. You find happiness on simple things"

She frowned, "That's just the reason?"

"Of course there's this nose", he kissed her nose.

"This eyes", he kissed her nice

"This forehead", he kissed it

"This lips", he bit it

"This slender neck", he whispered and kissed it

She pushed her, "Okay okay, there's a lot of things. Got your point"

"No, I'm not finish. There's too many things down there"

"Luke!"

The guy laughed. "Our house building up fast", he uttered as he lightly touched her face

"You almost took all the guys at Johnson what did you expect?", she said smiling

He kissed her again on her lips lightly and then stared at her, "Just for that smile Christine, I will take everything. Or everyone"

"Don't be complacent the next one is the house' design. That is the most stressful of all. I'm kinda perfectionist", she threatened. "I still don't know which tile I want in the kitchen. Luke stopped it!", she swatted Luke's hands who's crawling on her exposed legs

Luke laughed, "You can decide whichever tile you want then change it next year if you're not happy. I don't mind"

She squeak, clapped her hands like a child, "Thank you babe!"

"Just for you babe, just for you"

Christine stopped, "Wait, how about my old house?"

"Sell it, we don't need it anymore", he advised

"No, it's a much value because of it's design. It's an old Victorian house"

"Ask Carl, maybe he would like to take it. His apartment at Miller only has one room. Not that comfortable if he plans on creating small Thomases", he teased

She bit her lips, "He said once he doesn't have plan on having kids"

He laughed at his wife, "He will change that you'll see"

"Carl's not really big on marriage thing"

"Ah, forget about it", he said as he took again her lips and put his whole weight on her

"Hey, somebody might see us!"

"No one's here!"

"It's Carl's truck!"

"We'll not leaving any signs!", Luke reasoned out and their laughters and moans floated in the air
