Timothy's POV

After leaving the kindergarden where I am starting to work from tomorrow, I determined myself to treat Jude by buying a box with chocolate candies in the grocery store due to the special ocassion for receiving my position as a kindergarden teacher. I am extremely impatient to announce my wife about the brilliant news as soon as possible. 

Sometime later...

Jude's POV

I hadn't any clue what time it was right now. I was doing my job yet as serving the ordered food and beverages for the clients except to take notes what they want to order, of course. My working day was still passing serenely and perfectly normal. Nonetheless, the only issues that bother me are my bump and my ginormous appetite as well. Especially lately! Anyway whenever either I don't have many clients to serve or I am absolutely free which happens per a half an hour period of time or around an hour, not having a lot of time to consume properly due to the stress at work and when there are plenty of clients, occupying my schedule. 

All of a sudden, my boss Jonathan opened his office's door slightly which initially startled me:

-Jude, I am expecting you in my office now!- His words sounded rather far grave like he is willing to fire me or decrease my salary though I can rely on Timothy's wealth for our family. That is the final case if either I lost my position or my salary plummets.

I just didn't answer or muttering to wait for a while. I just momentally hasted to his office, closing his office's door behind myself once I entered as he was sitting as he gestured me to approach him even to grab the phone, telling me that my husband is urgently calling me which reinforced my heart to race as it had skipped a beat, thinking that there's something dubious or there's something wrong. Whilst I was on the phone as I sat on Mr.Smith's chair as he allowed me, one of the main things which I can recall myself even when the significant person isn't with me. Alternatively, Mr. Smith stayed in his office, not looking at me directly. Timothy's voice, that echoes in my head, reminding myself of what he has said to me as a compliment, kind words and romantic phrases. 

-Rare bird? Are you here?- He echoed through the phone handset as I could hear his velvet, worried voice. I couldn't aid myself as I felt my conscience and reserved mind betraying me, however, smiling. A smile that grew abruptly! 

-Hi sweetie!- I said with euphoric tone as I was tremendously excited to hear my husband's voice and having the opportunity to speak to him even through a retro phone.

-Judy! Rare Bird! I have great news to announce you though you aren't at home yet, unfortunately.- This time, It was clearly evident that Timothy's voice drastically changed from concerned and serious into cheerful and nonchalant.

-You are formally employed as a teacher, right?- I bet and do strongly believe that they had already hired him since his euphoria is indeed visible via his demeanor, the way he talks and his voice.

-Definitely! I am so happy about it! - He uttered a syllable in joyous way, as I am unconditionally persuaded that his smile is as broad as a sunshine.

-Congratulations, honey! I am really proud of you, besides contended of those fantastic news! - I congratulated Timothy when it's joint a word about an achievement as usual.

-Thank you, Judy! I can't wait for your return at home so that to celebrate this prominent occasion.

-Same! Anyway how is your day at work currently, sweetie?

-It is composed and nice. Thanks!

-Glad to hear that! By the way, I have a surprise for you when you reborn back at home.

-I can smell the surprise from a far way. I am not stupid at all.

-Ah! Ha! I prefer to not mention the surprise. It will surely ruin your imagination as revealing its little secret.

-*cackling* I know, I know. *sighing*  I am so sorry, sweetheart. But I should get back to work. See you later and I love you so much, Tim!

-No problem! I love you too very very much, my rare bird. See you tonight!

I closed the handset as the phone conversation ended. I stepped out of my boss's zone in his office as I stood off, heading to the door, a little before to leave, I posed him a question as well.

-What a overwhelming surprise, Jonathan! Howsoever, Initially I thought you were about to strip me off my position or decrease my salary. - I said with grave voice the last sentence unlike the first one which could be described as amused.

-It is not what it looks like, Jude! Don't speak like a defeatist about yourself! Otherwise I can describe you as a responsible, sly, hardworking, sassy and pragmatic waitress. What renders you to think like this way about yourself? - My boss questioned his last sentence in perplexed way as he arched an eyebrow, opting to reassure me, purifying my negative thoughts of myself, as a result of efficiency.

-I always expect the worst.- I answered in pragmatic way. 

-That's not good of one side, whilst on other hand it's good that you aren't prone to optimism.

-That's right, sir! *sighing in a relief* I am going to get back to work. - Holding the doorknob as I opened the door, leaving my boss's ofice.

A several hours later...

When I was back from work after 6:30PM in the early evening, unlocking the door as I let myself stepping inside the house, establishing in the hall, possessing the enormous impatience to celebrate the remarkable occasion of Timothy's new job. I kicked off my shoes, thereafter hanging my jacket onto the hang as I smelled abruptly something scrumptious, coming from the kitchen, fueling my nostrils with pleasant scent. 

-Sweetheart, I am home. - I shouted as it could be perfectly heard from Timothy's ears, wearing a cocksure smile across my lips.

Less than 5 seconds passed and my husband emerged as he was deliriously blissful to behold me as always, rushing to me by jumping in his arms as bear hugging each other tightly and warmly:

-Hi rare bird! - He said with his velvet voice, wearing a gleaming, broad smile across his face as I rested my head on his wide shoulder, feeling his strong, muscular arms clasped around my upper back, his fingertips dimly tickling my top's fabric.

-Hi my love.- I stated with gleeful voice as I was relishing this firm, warm and affectionate hug very much. 

After a couple of seconds, we broke off the hug as we kissed each other's lips, having a desperate crave to kiss since the last time when we kissed. Our desires are stronger than our bodies. Then he took my small, fragile hand into his big, veiny one, telling me to close my eyes as he guided me to the kitchen until he calls out.  

-How are you, darling? How your working day passed?- He guided me to the kitchen slowly whilst striking a conversation which was rather rejoicing.

-I am super due to that you are being hired at your new working place. Likewise my working day passed well, thanks. How are you too?- I asked with euphoric voice tone.

-I am excellent too! Thank you! Now you can open your eyes.

Once I opened my eyes like shells, scarcely I could believe what kind of marvels my husband has done when I weren't at home yet. He had prepared the dinner table with salad, Coq au Vin, a box of chocolate candies upon the end of the table, sole glass of wine filled with red wine whilst the another glass had natural juice liquid. As an addition, the porcelain vase with the redolent spring flowers abided in the vase yet with a lighting candle in the center of the table. I praised Timothy for his efforts that he had put, a little before that I woowed, demonstrating shockness. 

Then we took seats as he managed to help me to sit, thus thanking him for helping me as eventually he sat next to me, starting to eat and drink even speaking, subsequently taking a short break from eating and drinking in the same time as we deeply lost ourselves in those philosophical and mere conversations. The way my husband had cooked Coq au Vin was pricelessly delectable and overwhelming. 

-Do you like it? - Tim questioned when I tasted my first bits of his Coq au Vin, studying my face as he observed for my reaction, wearing a vivid smirk.

-Of course! It is so scrumptious.- I spoke my mind, hence, sipping of my banana juice, a handful seconds later leaving the glass with natural juice aside. 

-Pleased to hear that, my rare bird! - Timothy touched gently my hand as I reached my both hands for face, cupping his cheeks into my warm, petite palms, as our eyes met, gaping at his chocolate eyes, radiating smug and lust. Meanwhile, his hand was aside, cupping one of my hands.

I nod my head in agreement humbly as we stared at each other's eyes as our stares turned into timeless ones, an abysmal and enchanting eternity as the time had stopped. My pounding heart's beat was more intenseful than a several seconds ago. Suddenly I broke off the silence as he kept on with his pierced eyes into my face with his charming and radiant smile.

-What?- I asked, attempting to break off the embarrassing silence.

-You are so beautiful, Judy!- As he managed to cup with his another hand my, sensing the warm and savoring moment. His compliment couldn't resist me from my conscience as I felt my face all flushed, thanks to his kind words. Further his smile grew after the compliment and vice versa. I could feel how his fingertips are touching my manicured in bright red fingernails. 

-You are very handsome either too, Tim!- I complimented him back in modest way as the candle kept on with its enlighting the almost dark kitchen.

-You are the most beautiful woman that I have ever seen in this world. I love you very much, my rare bird!

-I love you too so much, my love! 

We interracted our heads as our lips crashed in dainty way. The kiss didn't last for a long time as we continued to have a dinner until we had eaten and drank everything, putting the filthy dishes and glasses in the sink as I washed every dish. At last, we tasted from the chocolate candies which were bought for this occasion. They were tremendously ambrosial, like a moltening chocolate that gradually moltens in my mouth like a cube of ice, unless I could sense the gelid liquids fusing in my oral cavity, running down my throat. 

-Mmm, those chocolate candies are so marvelous. I cannot recall the last time when I have eaten them.- I exclaimed as I hummed initially when I was savoring the chocolate taste.

-I have chosen the best ones so that to grant complacency for both of us especially you, my rara avis. *throughout raising an eyebrow in puzzled way* Really? I have eaten a chocolate candy before devotion to my priest career as well. 

-I comprehend why. *thereafter we giggled, of course; followed by grins on our bright faces* I truly missed the times when I had eaten a chocolate candy. 

-What a nostalgia, isn't it? - Timothy enquired a little bit in despairing way.

-It is actually.- I responded in mildly mocking way.
