But that depends on how this story gets received so please tell me what you think and if you want to see more. Please enjoy the read!
''Life is short, we should have dessert for breakfast!'' April said as she grabbed the cake from the fridge and almost danced her way to the bed. Leo was still asleep, his head in his elbow and slightly drooling a bit on his arm.
''Leo!'' She said then as she pulled his arm and he coughed.
''Wha?'' He mumbled softly.
''Dessert for breakfast.'' She whispered in his ear.
''Huh?'' He asked confused as he moved his hand past his mouth and she held up the box as she sat down on the bed again.
''Dessert for breakfast.'' She smirked then, laughing because he was so bad at waking up without looking like a complete moron.
''You are an amazing woman, April Hendrie. '' He said as he rolled onto his back and smiled at her.
''April Hendrie – Carver.'' She corrected him with a smile and they shared a kiss.
''Oh what. I only own 50% of you?'' Leo said then as she leaned on her elbow, looking at him. She was so glad he was off today, as there was not much she was allowed to do, she loved having him around.
''Hmmm..'''
''Well I really want all of you.'' He said with a pout and laughed. He sat up then, leaning against the headboard and she laid down against him. They stuffed their faces with the dessert and got out of bed then.
She yawned and walked to her laptop to start it up and hoped to do some writing as Leo grabbed the dishes from the table and brought them to the sink, doing the dishes that they had left there yesterday.
He looked at her a she was doing the dishes. She looked so focused, with her dark eyes pointed at the screen and slightly biting her lip as her fingers hit the keys, putting words, sentences into the document.
''What are you looking at?'' she suddenly smiled at him as she caught him looking.
''My beautiful wife.'' He said, not taking his eyes of her as he rubbed the plates clean. ''The most talented writer in the world.''
''I have no idea what to write about!'' She said then, holding her hands in her hair then as she had no idea if what she was writing was good.
''You should write about your amazing husband.'' Leo said as he was cleaning the sink. ''That amazing husband is doing the dishes. And you know what that amazing husband hates? Food scraps on a plate.''
''Oh you know who makes all those plates dirty? You.'' April smirked then and he was making some coffee for the both of them. He walked to the table and put the mug down beside her and pressed his face against the side of her face.
''What are you writing?'' He asked then.
''Gosh you are annoying!'' She smirked as she pushed him away but looked a bit insecure then.
''I am trying to write, but….I just…I don't know what to put down on the page.''
''Well first of all you should select the page before you start ty-'' he wanted to say and teasing she pushed him away.
''I need my own office. ''
''I need to be able to close a door when you are writing and change into a moody April.'' He said as he rolled his eyes, overly dramatic as he got up to mind his own business then and leave her alone. Besides, the laundry still had to be done and he just wanted her not to be doing too much.
''You are annoying!''
''You are moody, April Hendrie!'' He yelled back.
''April Hendrie – Carver!'' She yelled back, trying to keep her laughter in.
''I do what I want!'' He yelled then and she laughed as she heard the door to the bathroom.
April smirked and tried to keep writing.
But even after having lunch and sitting by the laptop for a couple of hours, it was so hard to keep writing. She just had no idea what would be the right way to put the words down and hours later, she finally started typing again.
All my life I had it all figured out. I would grow up to be a writer, like my dad.
April doubted and removed a piece of it then.
All my life I had it all figured out. I had studied journalism and that was what I was going to do.
April removed it again.
All my life I had it all figured out. I would grow old with the love of my life. I would grow old and I would sit on a bench in the park…
''Baby, did you put my shoes away in that plastic container that you hid somewhere in the whole walk in closet, so that I almost had to go out barefoot?'' He frowned then, as if it hadn't been his wife, but the gnomes that lived in their closet -
''Oh yes, I did!'' She said as she looked up. ''Sorry about that!''
''No…no I don't mind but I…why do you have so many shoes?'' He asked then and April shrugged.
''Beth used some for her fashion show and she gave them to me and I needed space for them, so I moved your shoes.''
''You moved my three pairs of shoes to add five more pairs of shoes to your enormous collection.'' He said then and he didn't want to get angry with her, because it was just about shoes, but even though he loved that they had moved in together, it was so hard from time to time.
''I am sorry babe…I will give them back to Beth.'' She said as she rubbed through her eyes and yawned.
''Don't worry, you should keep them, maybe just put them somewhere else.'' He smiled then as he walked up behind her and massaged her shoulders.
''You are tired, you should lay down for a bit and rest.'' He said then.
''No, I am fine.'' She said but he kissed her on top of her head.
''You should lay down for a bit and rest…come cuddle on the couch with me.'' He said then as he was so worried she was trying too hard with the writing and she got up and laughed as he lifted her up and carried her to the couch, laid down with her and laid his arms around her.
''What were you writing about.'' He said softly as he laid with his head against hers.
''About life…I mean…I tried.'' She said then. ''What would you write about?''
''I don't know either.'' He said softly and they laid there for just a bit, holding each other and just enjoying the moment and each other.
''I think it is time for me to get dinner.'' He said then.
''I am a bit hungry.'' She said then. ''But I can cook something.''
''No I will get you whatever you like.'' He said then as he kissed her again. ''You already gave me breakfast.''
''I would love the noodles from wok to go.'' April choose.
''Sounds great…and I know what to write about.'' He mumbled.
''Oh?'' April asked as she pulled up one eyebrow.
''I want to tell you all something about April – no… not the month…no my amazing wife April. She is beautiful and smart…and pretty and she has so many shoes that I should probably call Guinness to take a look at them….at first I was not sure why she would want to marry me…but she did! And now I am the luckiest man of the planet.'' He said and April smiled, scrunching her nose slightly as though it was so sweet.
''That is a bit too short to a book though.''
''That is just the title.'' Leo shrugged then as he got up. He took his phone from his pocket then and faked that he was making a call.
''Hi Guinness. I would like to report a new record. My wife has 36 pairs of shoes. I counted them….''
April grabbed one of the pillows from the couch and threw it his way. Leo stepped aside and the pillow flew past him.
''Noodles with shrimp you said?'' He said then and she nodded with a smile as she laid back again and he ran her way, kissing her one more time before walking off to get dinner.
