The next morning when I woke up I looked at my side to see Rex peacefully sleeping. His mouth opened a bit but it was just for a second.

His one hand was lying on my stomach while his other was tucked under his body. He looked so peaceful and so innocent while sleeping.

I looked at him while his eyes fluttered a bit when the sunlight fell on them. I couldn't help tracing my finger through his face.

I never paid attention to his perfect jawline which complimented his already eye catching features. As soon as my finger touched his lips he just smiled and this caused me to move my hand away.

But he caught hold of my hand while opening his eyes and placed them back on his lips. "Good morning honey", he said while kissing me on my palm that was already on his lips.

I blushed looking at him and kissed him a good morning while scooting closer to him. We stayed like that for a few minutes until I got up and sat besides him.

"Get up sleepyhead. We have a lot to do today!" , I said while looking at him dreamily. With that I got up from my bed and went straight into the bathroom.

After twenty minutes I came out of the bathroom with just a towel draped around my body. I was surprised that he was still in bed lazily checking his phone.

He looked at me and eyed me judgingly before getting up from the bed and coming straight towards me. My hold on the towel tightened and before he could come nearer I went straight to my drawer to pick some clothes.

I was unconsciously searching for my inners when I felt his body pressed against mine. He was holding me from behind and his hand went straight under my towel teasingly touching my thighs.

I closed my eyes to control my emotions but it just got worse when his hand grazed my vagina softly. I laid my head backwards on his shoulder when he just stopped.

I turned around when I lost his touch. He smirked at me evilly before grabbing his towel from the table and making his way into the bathroom.

I felt stupid standing in my room with just a towel covering my body while my eyes were fixated on the bathroom door hoping that he would come back and complete what he just started. After waiting for five minutes I knew he was playing with me and I cursed him under my breath while getting dressed.

I was applying my makeup when Rex entered the room with just a towel on his waist. Suddenly I remembered the first time when I saw him like this in his dorm room.

He looked at me while smiling widely when he saw my eyes on his bare body. He coughed dramatically to grab my attention.

At this point I just gulped the saliva formed in my mouth while I went passed him to the other side of the room to hide my beetroot red face. How does he have this effect on me?

Why can't I control my emotions when I am near him? This is so bloody unfair.

I heard him chuckle lightly when I made my way out of the room without even looking at him.

I was sitting on the breakfast table with my granny relishing on the yummy vanilla pancakes that she made for me. I had my mouthful when Rex entered the dining room with his so attractive self.

I looked at him before looking back at my plate. He kissed my grandmother on the cheek while wishing her a good morning before sitting on the chair next to me.

He looked at me challengingly with a hint of a smile on his face while taking some pancakes on his dish. As grandma was saying us how she needed some help with our rose garden in the backyard I could feel his hand on my thigh slowly caressing it.

No matter how much I loved his touch and how much I would enjoy dragging him to the room and having sex with him all over again I decided to turn him down. As he continued with his movement I stamped my feet on his which caused him to scream.

My grandmother looked at him confusingly while I just smiled at him and in the sweetest tone ever I asked him, "What is it honey?" He passed me a glare before looking at grandma and saying, "There's some bug under the table and I think it just bit me."

My grandmother just nodded at him as if she bought his act but she clearly didn't believe him as the very next moment she looked at me and passed me a mysterious smile.

After loading the dishes in the dishwasher, I went into the living room to find Rusty. He was running around excitedly into the room while Rex sat on the sofa looking at him with a big smile on his face.

I gave Rex the plate filled with boneless chicken and signalled at Rusty. He got up from his seat while holding the plate in his hand and went towards him.

He bent down on his knees and as soon as Rusty saw him he jumped on him and licked his face while wagging his tail. Rex caressed him by slowly running his hand through his furry body.

Once Rusty got engaged with his food, Rex got up from his position and asked me, "What do you wanna do now?" I put my hands in my back pockets before saying, "We can help grandma with the rose garden. She wants to plant some more and put some fertilizers in the old one's."

He then said, "Gardening seems like a good idea." I took him with me to the storeroom to grab some gardening instruments.

We returned to the backyard and Rex looked at the hundreds of rose plants of different colours that bloomed there. "My grandfather loved roses and he and grandma had set this rose garden together. Every Sunday, both of them used to work here for hours. But after grandpa's death there was no one to help her out and so it grew out of shape. And now since Rafael entered her life, he helps her to take care of it. And I see they have done some great work here."

Rex looked at me and while taking the shovel from my hand he said, "That is so sweet of him." He went towards the furthest corner where no plants were planted and started digging the ground.

I took this as my clue to start working. I put on my gardening gloves and took the pruner in my hand to cut the excess branches growing from some of the plants.

Once I was done with the pruning, I went to Rex's side to see that he was almost done digging the ground for more than twenty plants. I took the seeds and fertilizers to his side and together we planted the first plant.

I was so satisfied with our work. Once we were done, both of us were sweaty and muddy.

He came towards me with his arms wide open. I walked backwards until I saw him hurrying towards me.

"Let's hug baby", he screamed while I ran away from him. I ran in circles in the backyard but as always he caught hold of me and hugged me so tightly.

We both sat on the muddy ground hugging each other and laughing like fools. Suddenly I saw water coming on us from behind.

We both looked behind to see my grandma holding the garden hose in her hand. She laughed while she threw the water on us.

I looked at Rex for once and before she could even realize we both ran towards her. She tried to run but obviously she couldn't be faster than us.

Rex took hold of the garden hose from her hand and he set the pipe upside down allowing the water to come down like a fountain. My grandmother laughed like a kid.

I was literally dancing with happiness and soon was joined by the other two. Once my grandma started feeling tired, we made our way back to our house.

Just then Rafael and John entered the house and looked at us with questioning looks. On seeing Rex and I literally sticking to each other John eyed us from head to toe while Rafael hugged grandma and said, "Your granddaughter literally brings out the best in you Mary. Look at you, acting like a kid with them."

He took grandmother inside the house quickly leaving the three of us behind. "So you are that someone who has 'The Rebekah Williams' turning soft? Nice to meet you buddy. I am John", John said while pulling his hand out for Rex.

Rex immediately greeted him with a smile and said, "Yes it's me I suppose. And nice to meet you too John. I guess you already know my name." John stood awkwardly before continuing, "I am so sorry for behaving like a dick with you the previous day. I was just upset to see her crying and you were there along with her father. So I thought..."

He was stopped in the middle when Rex patted him on the shoulder and said, "I gave you every reason to be angry John. If someone is the reason behind my bestfriend's tears I would have acted in the same way. So worry not. We are good." We then went inside.

Rex and I made our way to my room to get cleaned up. "Wanna take a shower together?", he said while locking the bedroom door.

I didn't say anything to him but I kept the bathroom door open while I entered the bathroom and started getting undressed. I was standing in front of the shower completely naked when he entered the bathroom and started removing his clothes.

He picked up the loofah which was hanging on the peg and took my frangipani and oil shower gel and put some on it. He then stood behind me and started scrubbing my arms with the loofah.

I stood there like a statue not knowing what to do while his hands went all over my body. I then turned back facing him and took the loofah from his hand.

I brought it near his neck and rubbed it gently. Then he turned on the shower and as soon as the water came on my face disturbing my perfect view to his face, I kissed him and he leaned down to kiss me back.

Once we were done with the shower, we heard soft knocks on the door. "Hey guys, lunch is ready!", John said from outside.

Once his voice was no longer heard I stepped out of the shower and went into the room to get dressed. Rex followed behind and after both of us were completely dressed we made our way downstairs.

Rafael was helping grandma to bring the dishes from the kitchen while John sat in front of the television set rummaging through the different channels. After seeing us, he got up from his seat and made his way to the dining room along with us.

We all sat together and had lunch. It felt like previous times when the four of us had food together.

And Rex's company just made it a whole lot better.

While having lunch Rafael asked me, "So how did you find London?" I rolled my fork in the spaghetti and replied, "I am already in love with it. No doubt why Rebekah can't stop talking about the beauty of this city. It deserves every bit of it."

I then asked Rafael the thing that I wanted to know since I saw Rafael and Mary together. "How did you two meet?"

He looked at Mary and the two love birds smiled at each other before Rafael said, "It was spring of 2014. I was sitting in the park when Mary came there while holding Rebekah's hand. There was no empty bench so she came towards me and asked if I could shift a bit. I took John in my lap and the two of them sat comfortably. Soon Rebekah asked John if he wanted to play football to which John readily agreed. And we were left to ourselves. I liked her at the very first instant. She was wearing that purple floral dress and her beautiful brown curls were just held in place by a diamond brooch. She smiled at me and I smiled back. It then became a routine to meet each other at the park at sharp 5 p.m. along with the children. Then one day I asked her if she would like to come over for dinner and to my surprise she agreed. So yes that's how it really started." We all looked at them in awe while he leaned over to kiss Mary.

This urged me to kiss Becca and she didn't do anything to stay back.
