Apo.
"What are you thinking about?''Mile asked hugging me from behind.
I rest my head on his shoulder relishing the feeling.
"P'Mile do you think I'm too obsessed with my work?''
"Should I be honest or tell you sweet words?''
"When have I ever asked for sweet words from you?''
"You're right..baby I just feel like you're trying too hard to impress us,''
I frowned.
"Impress you? How?''
He turned me around to face him.
"Listen baby..you're the most hardworking person I know and you deserve all the great things..I know you're trying to prove a point but no need to be so hard on yourself..the kids and I are always here with you and they miss you so much..as much as I do and they're also worried,''
"But once I'm done with everything I'll be able to stay with you guys full time,''
"By that time the kids may distance themselves from you..you're amazing and talented but you can't do everything at once honey,''
He lovingly stroked my cheeks.
"You know I love you guys to death right?''I said hugging him.
He wrapping his hands protectively around me.
"Yes..we love you too Po..I couldn't do this without you..you really struggled and you deserve to feel alive again,''
He pressed his lips to mine and I held onto him tightly.
I tried pulling back after a while but he held me tightly.
"Let's stay like this for a while,''he said and deepened the kiss sliding his tongue in my mouth.
I kissed him back with the same fervour.
"Ahem!''
Mipo and Phoenix had woken up.
We broke the kiss panting.
"Hey babies..come here,''I said and opened my arms at them.
"Papa!we missed you so much,''they said rushing towards me excitedly but they didn't return the hug.
"Since when?''I whispered to Mile.
"They say they're too grown up for hugs now,''he replied trying not to laugh.
"What?but you guys used to love hugs''
"Used to is past tense papa,''Phoenix replied.
"Ok fine but I'll still hug you guys I don't care if it's embarrassing I'm your papa,''I replied and went to the dining table before they could protest.
"Are you guys going to keep standing there?come on let's have breakfast,''
"Mhh looks tasty..I missed your pancakes,''said Mipo.
"I'm here now baby and I'll put extra syrup just how you like it,''
"I would also like to be called baby if that's not an issue,''Mile whispered from beside me and I rolled my eyes in reply.
"Papa I don't like extra syrup anymore..just moderate is enough,''she replied.
"Wait..just how long have I been gone?when did everyone change so much?''
They were all silent.
"Fine..I'll catch up since you guys don't want to give me a recap,''I replied.
"So where are we going today papa?''Phoenix asked and they all looked at me expectedly.
"I thought we were staying indoors today..I stayed home to spend time with you,''
"Baby we can still spend time together outside,''said Mile.
"Can we go to the planetarium pleaseee,''Mipo said and Phoenix nodded aggressively.
How could I even deny those big doe eyes?
"Ok fine..then we'll come back and have a family movie night what do you think?''
"Agreed!''they all replied at the same time.
"Ok let's go early then..finish your breakfast and go prepare..and Phoenix please slow down you'll choke on your food,''
He didn't necessarily listen though.
He was too excited to listen to instructions.
Later.
"Phoenix stop running around you'll bump into something!''I warned.
Mile did not let go of my hand ever since we got out of the car.
I didn't mind it because I found comfort in the small gesture.
"Papa..did you know Jupiter has the highest number of satellites?''Mipo asked looking at everything excitedly.
She always found beauty in simple things and that was an amazing trait to have.
She always got excited when she saw anything related to nature too.
Phoenix on the other hand was a live in the moment kind of child.
He always went with the flow and focused only in the present.
I was proud of both of them and it seems like Mile was proud too.
"Baby.. they'll grow up into lovely people...I mean look at us and they take after us so much,''said Mile as he watched them run around.
"Mmhh,''I hummed in reply gently squeezing his hand.
"Apo I wanted to talk to you about something,''he said and I turned to face him.
He seemed nervous.
"Mile should I be worried?''I asked when I did not get any further information.
"No it's just that..''
"P'Mile I'm getting impatient,''I replied quickly.
Whatever he wanted to say I was holding on to dear hope that it wasn't negative.
For instance if he asked for a divorce or something of that sort I wouldn't live with it because I wouldn't live without him.
"It isn't what you're thinking gorgeous..stop worrying too much,''he said cupping my face in his hands.
Seems like he had read my mind.
The other guests were starting to stare but I didn't care about it anymore..I was only focused on what Mile was trying to say and I was tired of hiding our affection in public.
The love we had for each other was not wrong and it wasn't a crime so we were not going to treat it so.
"Nattawin..you know I love you very much,''
"Yes babe you've told me a thousand times already and I love you too..go on,''
He chuckled at my impatience.
"What do you think about renewing our vows after every 5 years? Or 10 or you can just forget it if you don't like the idea it was a dumb one anyw-''
I released a breath I never knew I was holding.
I pressed my lips to his forcing him to shut up.
"Shut up Phakphum..you talk too much and it's an amazing idea,''
"Really?!''he asked excitedly lifting me up.
"Milee!put me down you rascal,''I dangled my feet but he held onto me tightly.
"Are you trying to show off your strength?''I asked him and he lifted my higher.
My soul almost left my body.
"You know..there's more ways I can show off my strength to you...like for instance I ca-,''
I put my hand over his mouth and smiled nervously at the other guests who were eavesdropping before they could hear what he was about to say.
"P'Mile! We have company!''I whispered aggressively and he ended up laughing loudly drawing all the guests attention.
Mipo and Phoenix came running back.
"Papa..did you hurt your leg? Let me see,''Phoenix said trying to check the wound on my legs.
"No I'm fine honey,''I said and motioned Mile to put me down but he did not listen.
"Then why is dad carrying you?''
"Erm well we're renewing our vows soon,''I replied and he didn't seem contented with my answer.
"That's why dad is carrying you?''he asked confused and I nodded.
"Ah ok whatever as long as there will be cake,''he replied while Mipo just rolled her eyes.
Mile finally put me down after a few shared kisses and we went for some movie night shopping.
"Let's go home shall we?''I said after we were done and we all got in the car and my lover..drove us home.
He was no longer just Mile..he was my husband..lover..my Jeremiah♡
