Together Forever

"Good morning!" Leah greets me as I enter the kitchen rubbing my eyes to clear the vision.

Since it's Sunday, no one has to go anywhere so we all are staying at home. Though we have a plan to go out in the afternoon. And as always, the cooking responsibility is upon Leah so she's setting the table with breakfast.

"Morning," I say and run my hand through my disheveled hair.

I pull out a chair and sit down looking for my coffee but see nothing.

"Where's my coffee?" I pout, earning a chuckle from her.

"Oh, I left your mug on the countertop. Can you bring it?"

"Sure," I reply, heading to the other side of the kitchen.

The kitchen is pretty big, one side is used for cooking and the other is separated by a partition which is used as the dining area. My eyes fall on the familiar Mickey mouse mug and immediately a smile appears on my lips. This mug was a gift from my dad on my tenth birthday. Since then, I have been using it and never let anyone else touch it.

I take the mug off the counter and about to turn around when someone hugs me from behind. I get startled and gasp loudly as the coffee spills on my dress. I turn my head and you know who's there.

"What the hell! Nicki?" I whisper yell.

When did he come here? I didn't even hear footsteps.

He hushes, "Hey, don't shout. You can't act at all, I see." He whispers back.

"Leah will see us!"

"Fucking hell! God, save me from this idiot. We are doing this for Leah to see, aren't we?"

"But..." I try to argue but get cut off by him.

"Shut up! She is coming. Act normal." He commands and right then I hear footsteps coming near us and suddenly it stops. I gulp in tension staying in his arms, still looking in front.

God, I can't act! I can't!

"Good morning, baby," Nick whispers in my ear, knowing that Leah is watching us.

"Mo... morning!" I stutter, nervously.
