He called me his Estelle, what’s that supposed to mean? Though his deep tone send chills on my spine. A red hue becomes visible on my cheeks. “You’re my husband?” I asked him, what a stupid question. Of course he’s my husband.
—
Lorenzo chuckled softly, “Yes, I’m your husband, Estelle. And it looks like you just woke up.”
—
My cheeks went redder, I was facing my husband for the first time with a bedhead and a pair of pajamas. I instantly covered my face. “I will be right back.” I said, while I run back upstairs to fix myself.
—
Lorenzo chuckled at her wife, “What a cutie,” he mumbled to himself. Then he brought out a few ingredients from the refrigerator to make a simple dish. He was cooking fried rice and buttered shrimp.
—
After a few minutes, Estelle came back with a well-combed hair and a decent clothes. She sat on one of the bar stools, admiring her husband who was cooking.
—
“I think we need to talk.” she told Lorenzo. Then he answered her, “I think so too.” he smiled softly.
—
“So, who are you and why’d you marry me?” she asked him.
—
Lorenzo chuckled a little since he was already expecting those questions. “I’m Lorenzo Windsor, your husband. I am 31 years old with a job. And that’s all you need to know for now.” then he striked her with a smirk.
—
Estelle blushed a little from her husband’s charismatic features, then she replied. “Then I’m Estelle Gwendolyn Lauder, 25 years old and still looking for a job.”
—
“You don’t have to, I can provide for the both of us. You have my credit card so do as you please.” Lorenzo told him while he plates up their food.
—
“That’s a bit embarrassing for me.” she mumbled under her breath. Then he said, “Why is that? I’m your husband and I married you, I’m supposed to provide for you.”
—
Then she answered him sheepishly, “I know, but we barely know each other. I feel like I’m stealing money from you.”
—
“Well, alright, I’ll make some arrangements for us to get to know better if it’ll make you confortable with me.” he replied to him.
—
“That would be nice, I guess.” she said, then Lorenzo pushes up the plate in front of him with fried rice and buttered shrimp.
—
Lorenzo and Estelle ate in silence, after eating the two bid their goodnights as they went to their respective bedrooms.
