Chapter 15 - Too Good to be True (3) (2/2)

Friends..

April pursed her lips, her cheeks was shaking from trying not to smile. Her heart was beating with joy.

Friends..

Gahh.. April, don't get your hopes up! Silly girl. He is in love with his wife. You know this. But somehow, a smile still came out from her lips. She was happy with the outcome.

Call her crazy, but she really was really happy. Her sense of joy seems to be going low when Alex is involved. Ever since the accident, she hardly smiled anymore. Now, she actually looked forward to her future.

When April got done with her shower, she went downstairs to eat. She knew that Sky and Lauri must've been done with their breakfast.

It stunned her to actually see them still sitting at the dining room. Also, there was another person there. Smiling and talking with Sky and Lauri.

Sky must've heard her going down, so he looked towards her direction.

”Mommy Morning! Breakfast?” Sky was waiving his spoon to her. April gulped, it was too fast. She thought.

Alex smiled at the stunned April. ”Come down here and eat with us.”

”Come April, Alex said he was free today and wanted to have a day with Sky.” Lauri interjected. She smiled inside, she had sensed it before that April liked Alex. She caught her secretly staring at him, when he comes for a visit.

April looked up at ceiling. Did the sky fell today? What was going on? Was her luck coming back to her now that she is old? She took a deep breath and tried to relax.

April walked towards the table and smiled. ”Morning everyone. Morning baby.” She kissed Sky's cheeks. Alex was staring at them. When April passed by, he caught a faint lavender smell on her. It smells good, he thought.

April sat down on Alex's right. He was sitting at the head of the table. Usually it was her seat. Sky would be on her left and Lauri would be beside him to assistance. They were on their rightful chairs, it was just her who moved.

”You didn't said anything about coming today?” April asked while grabbing her food.

Alex took the plate that April was trying to reach and handed it to her. ”Sorry, did you guys have plans today already? I don't mind becoming you guy's chaperone for the day.” He smiled at her.

April's jaw dropped. She looked up again at the ceiling. It was still intact.

Seeing April looked up, Alex did too. ”Is something wrong? Why are you looking up there?”

Lauri pursed her lips, afraid to burst out in laughter. This two idiots are so perfect together. Too bad, too bad. She shake her head. She looked at Sky and noticed that he too was looking up.

Oh my ! .. What a family! She didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was just too much for her heart.
