At six in the morning, I fell from bed only to wince in pain. But it soon faded. Next, I got ready and headed to my master bathroom for a warm shower.

Then, I had an Avocado-egg Toast before wearing my black Nikes. And finally, I grabbed my bag, keys, and water bottle on the counter to lock up and leave for grocery shopping.

As I unlocked my white Audi from afar, my handsome neighbor and lawyer boyfriend, Alexander Kremuel, came over to greet and kiss me. He also wraps his arms around my waist, holding me.

“Good morning, gorgeous! I hope your plans are going well.”

And, in his embrace still, I teased him.

“Good morning! You’re not in my plans today. So we won’t spend time together.” I winked, hoping to see him tonight.

“How about Chipotle for dinner, babe? I’ll see you at your place.”

He winked as I happily nodded. Then, he opened my car door, letting me inside. And kissing me once more, Alex gave me his blessings.

“Stay safe and have fun. I love you!” He affectionately exclaimed.
