It's been half a year since Selene and Ezekiel got married. She went to her best friend's house. Jennie greeted her with her five-month-old daughter. Jennie got married a year before Selene did. She married Ezekiel's dorm mate.

"I was planning on a girls' night out for us on Saturday. I've already told Rose and Sara."
109Please respect copyright.PENANAp4RN36hAfY
"It's been a while since we saw Sara. Have you seen her after she got off her flight?"
109Please respect copyright.PENANALgimLpOxrn
Jennie was playing with her daughter's hand. "Not yet. You see, it's hard to go out since I was taking care of this little brat. She doesn't like going out that much."
109Please respect copyright.PENANAN3mJMLr1w6
"I think she's just shy," Selene said.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAzdIS4p00dR
"I think she inherited her father's introverted behavior," Jennie said a bit disdainfully.
109Please respect copyright.PENANABdxBRhn7eP
Selene laughed. "You do not look happy about it. Remember, that's the first thing that caught your eyes. You said you liked it when he was not talking to anyone that easily."
109Please respect copyright.PENANAL6MFd57GV2
Jennie snorted. "That is when we are in college. I don't want girls always hanging around him." She said,
109Please respect copyright.PENANAYD60mmcXTt
"So, you mean, right now it's okay for him to be close to other girls?"
109Please respect copyright.PENANALbrWXr9Aae
Jennie glared at her. "You think I would tolerate him if I knew he was being chummy with other girls? See if he tries. This little brat and I will leave without turning back."
109Please respect copyright.PENANAJUP1YLFNqN
Selene burst out laughing. "You're so savage. Since you liked him being introverted, then you have to accept the fact that your daughter is just like him."
109Please respect copyright.PENANA4yVz8HRybQ
Jennie frowned visibly. "Well, at least she inherited my beauty."
109Please respect copyright.PENANA2Ya4kXg7It
Selene choked while drinking her lemonade.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAFwWGiec4uX
Jennie saw it. "What?"
109Please respect copyright.PENANATB3UDd9ECP
Selene shakes her head. "Nothing." She said, "Anyway, Rose said our college classmate was planning on a reunion. Have you been active in our group chat?"
109Please respect copyright.PENANAUqOTRy2eRw
Jennie put down the baby on the soft mat to let her crawl around. The little cutie was bubbling gibberish. Selene can't help but feel envious. "I haven't been that active in the group chat. I was busy in the morning taking care of Sophie. At night I was busy doing my manuscript."
109Please respect copyright.PENANAY9ye7sQDoc
Selene raised her eyebrow. "Oh? was it you're busy rolling around the sheets with Dustin?"
109Please respect copyright.PENANAsqj5nV1ZsG
Jennie was disgusted with her best friend. "I will let Ezekiel know to restrain your night's activities together. You're turning nastier each time I see you."
109Please respect copyright.PENANAcH8zh7LqNQ
Selene was grinning like crazy, feeling proud of teasing her friend. She felt a soft thing bumping on her feet. When she looked down, she saw her goddaughter looking at her. She looked adorable with her large, misty eyes. She can't help but pick her up and sit the adorable baby on her lap.
109Please respect copyright.PENANACWbptH8xQX
Jennie was able to see how doting her best friend was to Sophie. "Are you not planning on having your own?"
109Please respect copyright.PENANAKB0e5BevTD
Selene was mesmerized playing with Sophie. "We are ready. It's just that I think it's not time yet." She said, a bit wistfully. She wants to have her child so badly. They are not taking any protections, “Ezekiel also thinks it's about time."
109Please respect copyright.PENANA6gJSiK6sm9
"Do you think you have a problem or perhaps..." Jennie said with an ambiguous air around her.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAiU4bbU0HQZ
Selene caught what she meant. She glared at her. "He is healthy, and so am I."
109Please respect copyright.PENANAeQ92yR6aFo
Jennie laughed. "I'm not saying he can't. What I meant is if he knows how to. Maybe he is not that aggressive in bed."
109Please respect copyright.PENANApnkUTGdq19
Selene was beginning to be flustered, with Jennie being shameless. "Stop it. He knows how to, of course. He was really on it every night."
109Please respect copyright.PENANAIbTcchYgLQ
With the last thing, Selene said, Jennie, can't help but burst out laughing. It made the baby cry as she was startled by the sudden laugh of her mother. Selene tried to amuse the startled baby, but it didn't stop crying. Jennie gave her the milk. When she was able to taste the milk, she stopped crying instantly.
109Please respect copyright.PENANACkoMnFfS4r
Jennie was in the kitchen. It was already time for dinner. She let her handle the baby matter to her friend. Selene was watching a tv program while holding the baby, then suddenly, the baby pushed the bottle away. She looked at the baby. She was staring at her as well. She continued pushing the bottle away. She was looking so serious. Selene was amused. At that very moment, the baby looked so mature. She almost laughed, when suddenly something flashed in her eyes- a distant memory.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAU0iHvAhoIi
Jennie came from the kitchen. She was wondering if Selene will stay for dinner. But then she was greeted by a dazed Selene while the baby was pulling on her friend’s long hair. Does this dummy can't feel pain?! She thought. She came close and grabbed the baby out of Selene's embrace, then Selene was freed from her daze. Jennie looked at her funny. "What’s with you?"
109Please respect copyright.PENANAoh11MwEuCE
Selene was not her usual self. "Jen, I need to go. I need to go and cook dinner for Zeke."
109Please respect copyright.PENANAFaqrctNUPw
"Wait, aren't you staying here for dinner? It's been a while since we last saw each other."
109Please respect copyright.PENANAQWTri43gM4
"I'm sorry, maybe next time?" Selene said, although their house was not that far from each other, it was their working schedule that always stopped them from seeing each other.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAzdKvJ3v7gw
When Selene came home, she already smelled something. She knew Zeke was already home and cooking. After she changed her shoes for slippers, she went inside the kitchen. Zeke was still in his working attire, minus the coat. His Long white sleeves were rolled up and there was a black apron tied to his waist. This is the sight that never fails to make her fall in love with him over and over again. However, today was not one of those days, for she was really upset with him right now.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAxGN0zIQ7J5
Ezekiel felt someone was watching him from the other side. He looked up from his cooking and saw his wife. He smiled. "Wife, the dinner will be ready in just a moment. Wash your hands and help me set up the table."
109Please respect copyright.PENANAwKPgk4ZiqJ
But Selene was not in the mood to be a good wife at that moment. She just stared at him seriously.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAMJGi6ZPlFS
Ezekiel was able to read the mood. He looked at her, worried. "Why, what's wrong? Something happened?" He turned off the fire and walked to her.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAbWbrpwJ7yr
She shakes her head. "Why, why did you reject me in middle school? Was it because you don't like me, or was it because your family was moving abroad?"
109Please respect copyright.PENANAveiF73k2eE
Ezekiel doesn't know if he's going to cry or laugh. It has been almost seven years, and she still... Wait. "Have you remembered that day?"
109Please respect copyright.PENANAeYexE0C4NH
She nodded. I asked you to go to the park with me, I remembered, you carried a comic with you, we stayed there for like an hour, it was the day I confessed to you, I knew you were going to a boarding school, and I wanted to be your girlfriend before you go. So, tell me, what's the reason? “
109Please respect copyright.PENANAyWqLqMsrzG
Ezekiel sighed. He came closer and embraced her. "Wife, before, I was not really into you. We are still young. But I know you are the only girl I felt attached to. Later, after several years of not seeing you, I finally realize I like you enough to be my girlfriend. That’s why I chose to have the same university we attended.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAduVukikQDz
Selene was disappointed that he answered neither of the two of what she thought of, so she was still frowning."
109Please respect copyright.PENANAlCXaxJIiru
"Hey, I can't believe you will remember that." Ezekiel has a smile on his handsome face.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAPfzivop1td
She looked up from his embrace. "So, you prefer that I didn't, right?"
109Please respect copyright.PENANA3E2OWbWnEg
"Of course not. Why would I?"
109Please respect copyright.PENANA1TckB4OCVH
She just looked at him. She didn't know why, but the more she looked at his smiling face, the more her frown went deeper. She had the feeling that he was happy he was able to make a fool out of her. "You sleep in the next room tonight." She said and then untangled herself from his embrace and then left the kitchen. Ezekiel was left alone; speechless. He could not believe he could sleep alone. What if Selene asked him to sleep alone until next week?! Next week is Valentine’s day!
