59 A Lonely Hear (2/2)
”Yeah, as a matter of fact, I did. I'm waiting for her to come back. Where are you?”
”Why do you care?” Zunnie pouted.
”Because I'm your husband and I need to know what you do when I'm not around.”
”I'm almost home. I went to Thai Eats because I was lonely. Don't keep the person who's better than me waiting. Will see you when you get back. Don't let her touch you humph.”
”Ha-ha, are you jealous? Don't worry honey, only you can touch me. See you soon.”
”I am jealous, so what? I love you, Mr. Zi. See you in two days.” She blushed as she said it.
”Alex… umm darling, are you still there?” Her heart throbbed when he didn't reply.
”And I love you, Mrs. Zi.”
Zunnie cheeks turned pink, ”So you did hear me. Thought you hadn't. I'm about to take the elevator. Eat properly and drink plenty of water. See you soon.”
”Mhm”
Zunnie ended the call and stepped into the elevator. She really missed Alex and two days seemed like forever. When the elevator stopped on the third floor, she did not go to her apartment. Instead to walked to Alex's door, entered the passcode and walked in.
His familiar scent filled her nostrils. It felt like he had just walked in before her. Her heart skipped a beat as she rushed in hoping to see him inside. To her disappointment, he was not there. She sighed feeling foolish that she was expecting him to be there.
After entering every room to ensure Alex had not returned, Zunnie left the condo and walked back to hers. She had a solemn look when she stepped inside.
The lavender scent which usually welcomed her had been replaced by the fresh scent of yellow roses. Zunnie's heart started racing as she slowly walked to the dining room. A huge bouquet of yellow roses with a card attached, a box of white chocolate she always bought and a bottle of her favorite wine was on the table. She looked around to room for a face, but there was none.
She smiled, picked up the card then read it.
Honey,
I Love You Always.
_Alex
The surprise overwhelmed Zunnie and she couldn't contain her excitement. She immediately called Alex.
The moment he answered she said;
”Darling you never cease to amaze me, I love you too. Hurry and safely come back to me.”
”Did something happen?”
”The surprise you left on the table. The roses and chocolates…” She attempted to explain.
”I'm glad you liked it. Don't stay up late. Sleep well.”
”Mhm, bye.”
