The Marvelous Elijah's Return

Chapter 103

We have a date 

The soft texture of the sheet as Elijah brushed his hands against it made him immediately open his eyes. and whisper, “Peach!” 

The storm of panic he felt softly faded when he sat up and saw her at the table, focusing on a pile of documents with scrabble up sheets scattered around. 

Her attention was solely on the papers that she didnt even notice him staring at her for a long while before he got off the bed, stretched out his shorts legs, and walked over to her with a smile 

“Morning, beautiful,” Elijah said in a low voice, resting his palms on the table to lean over and kiss the top of Peach‘s head 

Slowly, she looked up at him, tilting her head up a bit so that they could lock eyes as she said softly,” Morning,” 

And then she studied his face with a warm smile before focusing back on the paper, her messy morning hair falling over her forehead like a curtain and his white t–shirt neck slacking off her shoulder 

“I left you in this exact spot and went to bed. Did you get enough sleep?” Elijah asked, pulling away from the table, and then he walked off 

Eyeing her husband hesitantly, Peach sighed and then said, “You slept like a baby I guess you didn‘t feel me getting into the bed last night. But even if it doesn‘t look like it, I just woke up from sleep.” 

Silence settled for a while as Peach focused back on the document, and for a while, she was deep into it until she felt Elijah gently brush her hair back, and she froze as he tied it into a loose ponytail. 

“What are we having for breakfast?” Elijah mumbled as she spaced out, staring at him with a soft expression 

“Toast and cheese with coffee...” Peach replied, trying to fight back the urge to forget the paperwork and cuddle into him. 

His sudden ringtone interrupted the silence, and both of them turned their heads toward it, and Elijah sighed as he walked over to the night stand and picked it up. 

Seeing that it was an unknown number, he hesitated for a second but finally answered the call, saying,” 

Hello?” 

“Is Peach awake or sleeping in your arms,” Melina‘s voice came from the other line, and Elijah immediately ended the call, looking over at his wife, and instantly, they locked eyes, and Peach gave a soft smile before focusing on the paper. 

His ringtone went off again right after, and he took another breath before answering this time with a serious tone of voice, “Bryan, morning.” 

“Let me guess. You forgot what day it is?” Bryan teased, and Elijah groaned loudly as Peach looked over at him curiously, watching as he pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration. 

“Crap!” Elijah cursed before glancing back over to Peach.
