Your wait has paid off Gerbera! :D


Two weeks after having come back to their hometown, Sebastien found himself a job at the local hospital as an intern.



The hours were long, the work hard and the pay not high enough, but it was still worth it as he was able to do what he enjoyed. Shadee, on the other hand, preferred to work at home, painting in the peace and quiet of her room.

They also started visiting different houses that were for sale with the help of their trustworthy estate agent Phil, but didn’t exactly manage to find something to their taste. They continued to live at Gypsy’s house well into the summer.

‘Seb.’

It was a lazy late August afternoon and Shadee was quickly running up the stairs to hers and Sebastien’s room. She was wearing a cute bathing suit and water was still dripping from her hair, all over the wooden steps and the carpet.



‘Seb –’ She stopped for a few moments to catch her breath, then continued ‘We’ve got to go to the supermarket! I was swimming around in the pool when I thought about trying out to cook something nice for this evening! Something sweet!’



Sebastien yawned widely and put his anatomy book down ‘If we really have to…’



He trudged to the closet and rummaged around in search for some clean clothes, while Shadee ushered him to hurry up. She rubbed her hair with a white towel, chose a skimpy outfit perfect for the hot summer day and applied the minimum amount of make-up.



‘Still not ready?’ she shook her head energetically at the sight of a still undressed Sebastien ‘You know…I wanna make your favorite – strawberry tart!’ with a wide grin, the young woman watched her boyfriend suddenly move at the speed of lighting.

Ten minutes later the couple was wandering around the nearest supermarket, hunting down the needed ingredients.



They were a little confused about the recipe, not having actually made a list of everything necessary for the fruit tart.

‘So…I remember we needed flower, eggs, vanilla essence and…umm…’



‘Milk, maybe?’ Sebastien suggested hopefully, but Shadee shook her head, biting her bottom lip, as if to punish herself for having forgotten everything.

‘I hate it when I’m all confused about things!’ she pouted ‘What kind of wife am I going to be for you, Seb? I can’t even remember the ingredients for a simple cake recipe.’



The man smiled and just hugged her lovingly; an answer was superfluous. Shadee’s face suddenly lighted up with joy.
