"Psst wake up sleepy head" I could feel someone poking on the side of my head

I tried to snuggle deeper into my pillow but the poking won't stop.

"Come on babe wake up" he whispered softly to my ear

I opened my eyes and sat while rubbing my eyes like a little girl.

I felt a kiss on my bare shoulder and I smiled turning to look at my side. There he was sitting beside me wearing nothing but his boxers.

"Good morning sleepy head" he said while tucking a strand of hair behind my ear

I didn't say anything but replied with a peck on the cheek because let's face it guys. Nobody wants anyone to smell their morning breaths despite the fact that we are married. But being the self conscious person I am I didn't want him to smell my horrendous morning breaths

"Why aren't you saying anything? Are you mad?" I quickly shook my head

"Then why?" I just smiled

"Is it about the morning breath thing again?" I smiled sheepishly feeling my cheeks redden

He pinched my cheeks then said "There's nothing to be ashamed about a normal morning breath. I really don't mind babe" I cover my mouth to answer him

"I don't want you to faint smelling my morning breath" He tried to pry my hands from covering my mouth but I wasn't as strong as him so my hands flew to his face with loud smack and he groaned in pained while holding onto his nose.

I quickly try to look at his nose to see if it was bleeding or not but it wasn't

"I'm so so so sorry" I said with guilt

I touched his nose and asked "Does it hurt?" My eyebrows crease in worry

Our face were just few inches away and he kissed my lips. I quickly pull away with my cheeks all red and ran into the bathroom but before I could stand up Finn wrap his hands around my waist and pulled me to sit on top of him. Making it look like I'm straddling him.

His hands around my waist tighten as I struggle from his strong grip. His eyes bore into mine making me feel so hypnotize by the blueness of his eyes.

He put his head on my shoulder and I could feel him inhaling "Are you smelling me?" I said with a smirk

He removed his head from my shoulder and smirked "See you don't have morning breath" I felt conscious once more and mentally cursed myself for falling for his tricks

"Whatever you say" I glared and tried to get off of him but his grip tightened

"Don't go,just stay like this for a little while longer" he continued putting his head on my shoulder

I didn't mind being in this position so I lay my head on his head. We stayed there for a few minutes just me sitting on top of him with my head on his head and his head on my shoulder.

I kissed his head and he kissed my shoulder. This intimate moment was just what every relationship needs because a bond is created by intimacy without that,how can a relationship be bonded

I woke up with two pair of brown eyes staring back at me. I practically screamed and fell of the bed with a loud thud. I landed on the cold hard floor and groaned knowing it's gonna hurt afterwards.

I heard giggles from the other side and I stand up while groaning at the pain coming from my back. As I stand up I saw a little girl and a little boy at the other side of my bed. Both of them look very identical which means they're twins.

"Mummy,she's awake" the little girl screamed. Then it clicked on me that these two kids must be Lola's children.

"Honey I told you not to bother your aunt Jenna" I heard my sister say as she came in the room

I look at the kids then back at Lola then back at the kids then at her. I could feel my eyes bulging out as I stare at the twins in front of me.

My hands covered my mouth as a gasp escaped my mouth "Look how much you both have grown"

The twins face were filled with confusion as I said those words. Then it occurred to me that the last time they saw me was when they were just born. A small laugh escaped my mouth

"Of course you don't remember me" I said "that time you were just a few weeks old"

"Alright everyone" my sister said "lets get you two cleaned up now" she turn to the twins and ushered them out of the room.

When she closed the door I sat at the edge of the bed contemplating what I'm gonna do when I get back home. I knew Abigail will question me but I'm not worrying about her.

I'm actually worried about meeting Justin. I don't know how to face him much less find the effort to even talk to him. Our relationship is too risky for both of us. At the end of the day one person will get hurt eventually and in this case it seems like I'm the victim. Maybe he does have his own problem but I'm not sure if I can go on like this.

"No,you cheated" Aiden yelled accusingly at me

I feigned innocently putting my hands on my chest and said "No I didn't"

"Yes you did" Allison piped in

"What's your prove?" I asked with a grin on my face

Allison went near me and squinted her eyes at me then taps her index finger on her chin while humming. Lola's kids are crazy, but they're so cute.

Its hard to keep myself from smiling when I saw Allison's observing face that resembles Lola's face

"Why are you smiling?" Allison's frown deepened when she saw my smiling face. Woah, she's a feisty one but still adorable

I was about to say something when Lola interrupted us and told the kids it was bed time. I looked and the time and to say I was shocked would be an understatement seeing the time being 10:30pm

"Awwww,but mummy can we play a little longer with aunt Jenna" Allison begged while putting on her best puppy dog eyes

"No no no" my sister put her hands around her hips trying to look stern with her brows creased and lips pouting out "your aunt needs to go back home because she has a lot of things to handle" they all pouted and looked down slowly walking to the stairs

"Don't worry you two. I'll promise to visit more often next time and I'll bring some toys for you two as well" both of them jumped up and down with glee after I said that

It dawned on me that I need to go back and face reality. I felt my heart getting heavy. I walked towards Lola and gave her a hug then walked over to the twins. I hugged them both and kissed their cheeks.

As I was driving off my mind was lost somewhere else still thinking about what I'm gonna do about my complicated relationship.

When I reached home I couldn't find the strength to get off the car. So I started my car once more and drove off to a coffee place. I needed more time to get things right.

I got off my car and walked to the coffee shop. The same place where I met Finn and same place where I always go when I wanna get out from reality.

*ding*
The sound of the bell rang as I pushed open the door and the welcoming aroma of coffee hit me.

I went to order mocha latte and find the same spot I always sit but shocked to see someone else sitting at my spot.

I walked nearer and soon realized it was not just a stranger sitting there but Finn.

He seemed to be gazing off to the outside but his thoughts are somewhere else. I went closer and cleared my throat trying to capture his attention.

He looked at me and at that moment I couldn't help but stiffen under his smoldering stare. It didn't help the fact that my heart is going frenzy.

"Is anyone sitting there?" I asked looking at the empty spot across him

"No" he said adding a smile that could melt your heart which in this case is my poor heart

I sat at the empty spot. We just sat there silently looking at everywhere but each other. Well to be exact I'm the only one that's avoiding eye contact while Finn is just staring at me.

"Can you stop that" I said sounding agitated

"Stop what?" He asked looking confused

"You know..." I stopped suddenly realizing I can't tell him how he makes me feel vulnerable under his gaze "just never mind" I continued staring at my drink

"You're as beautiful as ever" I frozed hearing him say that and I could feel my cheeks heat up

"I was never a good husband. I cheated and it's my fault. But one thing for sure is I still love you. People would always say old habit dies hard but my old habit died when you left me alone in that house" the more he talked the more harder it is for me to breath "not a day I regretted losing you"

"Why are you doing this Finn?" still avoiding eye contact

"I'm just saying what I really mean. I wanna say this because I don't know when I'll ever have the chance to say it"

"But you know I'm with Justin right now" I finally looked up staring at his eyes

He smiled "I know. That's why I'm just saying this once and I'd leave you alone forever. So you can live your happy life. A life of happiness that you truly deserve. So just hear me out and stay quiet will you"

"What do you mean leave me alone? Are you going somewhere?"

"Not exactly my little sweet queen. I'll just get out of your way. So you won't have to see me anymore because I know I've caused enough pain " my heart ache as he said those words

"We don't have to avoid each other. I mean we can stay friends" I said with hope laced in my words

This time he gave a small laugh but his eyes show grieve "Let's just say I'm selfish because I don't want you to be just a friend. I only want you for myself but it doesn't work that way anymore so I'll just leave you to your happiness"

I was speechless with his words. I came here to clear my mind but after hearing his words, it was even more harder for me to think

"So as I was saying" he sighed and look down at his cup then look back up to stare at my eyes "I'll always remember everything we did. The time when you were truly happy. The time people called it young love but to us it's more than that. There's no reason for me to clear up for my mistakes. But only both of us know how we truly feel for each other" as he finished his sentence he just stood up and left but not before stopping at my side.

I stood up to meet his gaze. He leaned closer and placed his right hand on my right cheek,slowly caressing them and kissed my forehead "Just remember I will always love you" with those words he removed his hands from my cheek and left.

I touched my right cheek trying to remember how his hand felt when they were there a few seconds ago.

I felt like my heart was torn apart. I'm even more confused than I already am. I don't know what to do anymore. I decided to just go home and just sleep it off.
--------------------
I checked the time on my phone before going in the house and it's just 11:30pm. The house was dark when I got in the house. Abigail must've went to sleep.

I closed the door behind me quietly and as I approached the living room I hear the sound of people making out. As I turn to my right I see Abigail making out with a guy. I quickly cover my mouth and walk up the stairs trying not to make a sound so I won't disturb their sexy time.

When I see my room I quickly went in and once more closing the door quietly. As I hear the door close completely I couldn't help but laugh. But then quickly cover my mouth once more realizing I was laughing too loud. I waited for few seconds trying to hear their footsteps.

Much to my dismay I hear footsteps coming up the stairs. My heart kept beating louder and louder each time the sound of the footstep gets louder.
But then the sound of the door being opened and closed help to relax my beating heart. Then it crossed me what's happening in the room. I couldn't help but muffled out a laugh. Abigail will have a lot of explaining to do tomorrow

But for now I think I'm gonna close my eyes and just sleep it off. Every energy has been drained out from me.
