A Lifetime With You by Athrhteera

Chapter 66 Alena

I was sitting on the stool in the kitchen as I watched Matteo cook for us. After our love-making session earlier this morning, we knew we were starving afterwards. So, I had requested for some scrambled eggs and toast to fill us up before lunch.

We took a shower together this morning to clean ourselves up and overall, I had been in a good mood. He helped me to wash my hair, ran soap all over my body and washed my face. For some reason, it felt as if we had gotten our sparks back and we were heading towards the right track.

I couldn't help myself smile at Matteo.

It was foolish of me to think I could live a life without him. I was miserable when I left and the moment we were back together, everything changed.

I felt like a different person, a better person. Every time I saw the smile plastered on his face or the way his eyes lit up whenever we talked, I knew he loved me. I was not in the position to question if it was real or not because through it all, it was real.

"One scrambled eggs and toast for my love," he said before serving me a plate.

I smiled as I looked down at the meal, loving how he managed to add on

"Thank you, Matteo. Come eat with me," I replied.

syrup in the shape of a small heart.

He joined by sitting beside me, waiting for me to give him a bite. It was nothing odd for us to feed each other-it was one of our ways to show we cared for each other. As soon as I tasted the scrambled eggs and toast, my tastebud went crazy and I. immediately fell in love again.

Matteo had never failed to impress me with his cooking skills, he could make different meals without looking at the recipe and the outcome was perfect.

"This tastes really good." I muttered, continuing to take another bite.

He laughed before pinching my nose playfully, "I'm glad you like it."

""Like it? I love it."

"Good." He caressed the side of my face.

I continued to eat the meal as Matteo stared at me. I did occasionally glanced at him but he didn't seem to be bothered if he was caught staring. As a matter of fact, he just smiled at me. The look on his face showed as if he was in awe but what could possibly make him feel that way?

I drank water once I was full, glancing a few times at my husband.

"Are you okay?" I asked, slowly grabbing his hand.

He nodded, smiling. "Why do you ask?"

""You won't stop staring at me,"

"You're too beautiful. Besides, it's not wrong to stare at my wife.

"It's not but the look on your face," I stopped talking.

"What about it?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.
