#ERICA'S POV#

"Alvin!" I called out while searching for me till I met him in the kitchen with Clarissa and Elizabeth.

"What are you all making?" I skeptically asked.

"We are making honey bun." Alvin replied.

"Then you should put..."

Elizabeth raised up a hand to stop me. "Don't interfere please. This is daddy and children honey bun, right daddy?" She asked enthusiastically. Alvin nodded while rubbing her cheeks with his flour hands.

"You are staining her cheeks, Alvin." I criticized him.

"They don't mind or do you mind?" He playfully asked them and they energetically shook their head.

"Daddy, rub on my face too." Clarissa said. Alvin dipped his hand in the flour bowl and rubbed it on her face while she giggled. He also rubbed more on Elizabeth's face.

Yeah, Alvin legally adopted them some days ago and they have been rubbing it in my face since then. I should be jealous but surprisingly I'm not. Yes, it feels too good to be true but it is true. Alvin Knight is here in my kitchen making honey buns.

"Yeah, so what were you calling me for?" He finally had my time.

"The synopsis of your story says that the hero pretended he and the heroine met by coincidences when they were actually not coincidences rather he has planned it. Is that what happened with the both of us?"

"Wow, how did you figure that out?" He asked.

I shrugged. "You said I was your inspiration."

"Ooh, you are right anyways." He replied.

"Gosh, so I was right when I said you were following me back then. How did you plan it." The curiosity in me could not stay still.

"Are you ready for some stories?" He asked the kids and they nodded. He settled each one of them on the kitchen island.

"I met your mother at a fan meet. I loved her eye colour. It kept on calling out to me so I asked for her name. That was a year ago. Then, I started making progress to see her again."

"So you went to work at American International School of Kingston because of her?" Clarissa asked.

"Yes. Then I started waiting for her at corridors or hallways so we could bump. Your mum was really stubborn." He chuckled along with the kids while I stared at him in surprise.

"She was also very clumsy." He added.

"My mum is not clumsy, daddy." Elizabeth replied.

"She was very very clumsy. I don't know what changed." Clarissa said while Elizabeth gave her a confused look. I guess she has never seen my clumsy side.

"I came into her life and that is what changed." Alvin bragged. I playfully slapped his arms

" So you liked mum's eyes, that is why you made her your girlfriend. I like Kelvin's eyes too, that is why I made him my boyfriend." Clarissa said.

"I like daddy's eyes too so I am making him my boyfriend." Elizabeth said with a giggle.

"No, you can't. He is mum's boyfriend!" Clarissa protested.

Elizabeth looked like she was about to cry.

"Betty can be my girlfriend. Your mum is not my girlfriend anymore, she would soon be my wife so why Betty is my girlfriend, your mum is my wife." Elizabeth giggled.

"In your dreams. I've not seen any flowers yet." I whispered  to Alvin before getting down from the kitchen stool.

"Let us return to the making of our honey buns then I would tell you another story of how I plan to propose to your mum." I heard him say as I was leaving the kitchen. My body shivered in excitement.

I pick up the, 'Once Upon A Knight's Woman' from where I have dropped it since the launching. I have been feeling weird to read it but now I feel like reading it. I return to the kitchen and ask Alvin for an iced cola.

On the way to the living room, I open the book to the first page.

This is how the book began:
“No one knows the twist to a story just the same way no one knows how it all begins. But if I take a moment to think about it, I guess I know how it all began. Didn't it all begin with your clumsiness or is it my savior's skills or the sneaks I see you take when you think I'm not looking? Yes,I guess it all began with the sneaks. I catch you taking peeks at me and you catch me taking peeks at you. Is it not wonderful how little thing counts...„

And at that moment, I knew I will not postpone the reading of the book any longer. I drop the cup of iced cola on the centre table, settle down in the most comfortable sofa and start reading. Sometimes, I look over to the kitchen at what a mess Alvin, Clarissa and Elizabeth has made in my kitchen. I look at his stained cheeks and hands and Clarissa's flour covered apron with Elizabeth's flour covered hair and I smile to myself. Yes, this is the befitting title for it all, All Perfect. No one is perfect but this just feel too perfect. Too perfect to wish for more.
