True to Yve"s words, Vince woke up the following morning with her sleeping comfortably in his embrace. Despite her protests last night, he didn"t let go and having no choice they slept that way. Vince would love to stare at his wife more but he also knew that she still has a speech to prepare.Hastily, he stood up and called the kitchen to prepare a breakfast for them and while waiting for the food to come, he freshen up. Just as he finished his morning routine, the food came and so he woke up his sleeping wife.
"Yve? Wake up now." He whispered as he lightly tap Yve"s shoulders.
"Hmmm.... Let me sleep a little longer" Yve mumbled as she turned her body against Vince with her eyes closed. What made him smile was what Yve did. Subconsciously, her hands and legs began to look for his warmth beside her.
"Now you"re looking for me in your sleep." Vince murmured to himself.
"Queen, you need to wake up. Breakfast is ready and you still have a speech to make remember?"
"Hmmm.... Maybe... later.." She continues to mumble.
"You won"t wake up... hmmm...."
Then Vince decided to attack his wife in a sweet way. He gave her small kisses from her forehead then to her eyes, her nose, cheeks, chin and finally her lips. The kiss on the lips was sweet at first until he bit Yve"s lower lips causing the other to gasp and allowed his tongue to enter. Instantly Yve opened her eyes and saw a closer view of her husband enjoying his breakfast.
"What breakfast?! What dirty thoughts are you thinking, Yve?" She scolded herself as she slightly pushed Vince.
"Finally you"re awake. You can just tell me ahead if you wanted a wake up kiss. I"ll be happy to comply with your request." Vince smirked as he stood up.
"Stop making fun of me early in the morning." Yve remarked when she smelled something different.
"Did you cook food? Nope, but I called the kitchen and the food just arrived." Vince explained.
"That"s great!" Yve stood up and fixed their bed before following Vince to the kitchen.
She approached Vince, who is now preparing the table, and hugged him from behind before whispering,
"Good morning, Mr. Gray."
Vince stopped what he was doing and placed his hands on top of Yve"s as he responded, "Good morning too, Mrs. Gray."
They were both smiling and enjoying the moment for a few seconds when Yve removed her hands and said,
"I need to wash my face now. Just finish preparing our breakfast."
Vince smiled and obeyed his wife.
They are now enjoying their first breakfast as husband and wife while watching the morning news. The TV station they had partners.h.i.+p with was quick to edit the details. The story shows the video clips of the guests in the wedding, their wedding vows, short clips of their performances at the reception and even the announcement of her acceptance to St. Michael"s.
"I can"t believe you really prepared the wedding behind my back." Vince exclaimed as he enjoys his coffee.
"It wouldn"t be possible without your team"s help, Edward, Nyelle and your mother, Maddie."
"She"s not only my mother but also yours."
"Hmmm... I forgot."
"But why does it seem that my team obeys you more than me nowadays?"
"Hmm... Not really. They just know what will actually make you happy and acted on their own to give you that happiness."
Vince smiled at his wife trying to explain in a roundabout way while defending them.
"You do have a knack with your tongue and ideas aren"t you?"
"I learn from the best." Yve smiled as she finished her hot chocolate.
Just like that, the couple breakfast was over and they went to their desks. Edward cleared Vince"s schedule for today and will resume his work the following day, the same with Yve.
Yve is now pondering on what to write on her speech. It"s her first time to write a speech since the last time she studied. She turned her head to Vince who"s looking through her music sheets and humming the melody he hears while writing the possible lyrics.
Yve was suppose to ask Vince for help but now she"s staring at him. She still couldn"t believe that this man is finally hers in mind, heart and legally. She was lost in thoughts while observing Vince"s every move that she failed to realize the other is now staring at her as well with a questioning face.
Vince smiled at her wife staring blankly at him. He certainly doesn"t mind but she still has a speech to write and an event to get ready for.
"My dearest wife, I"m in awe that you like spending your time ogling at my face but now"s not the right time. You still need to write your speech." Vince"s words brought his daydreaming wife back to real world.
"Hmph! Who"s ogling at your face?!" Yve said as she tries to defend herself.
"You! There"s even a saliva near your mouth." Vince teased his wife once more.
The latter in full recognition that she has been thinking of her husband touched the corners of her lips in search of wet or dried saliva. But she found nothing. She furiously approached her husband and was about to get her sweet revenge when Vince interrupted her.
"How"s the speech going?" Yve stopped her attack and looked down.
"I was about to ask your help for that. I can"t seem to find the appropriate idea or topic for my speech. What did you say in yours?" Yve asked.
Vince urged her to sit on his lap before answering her question.
"In mine, I put the people I"m thankful for, the reason why I wanted to enter the university and the promise and the values I wished to uphold in my stay." Vince explained.
"Huh?! Why does it seem so complicated?!"
"At that time, I was too engrossed with the idea that I was the record holder."
"Should I also do the same thing?"
"It depends on you. But the most important thing you need to take note in your speech..."
"What?"
"Yvory Smith-Gray must be present in it. The content must give everyone an idea on who you are."
"Hmmm..." His final words send Yve into silence as she stood up and walks back to her desk where she started typing her thoughts.
"I"m looking forward to your speech, my dear Queen." Vince said as he continued writing some lyrics for the melodies created by Yve.
