Who is he??â I remembered looking at his hurt expression and suppressing my laughter, I cli-cked on it and his phone began to ring, then his face broke into a smile, he carried me and pec-ked meâŚ.. I still remembered and when I do, I end up laughingâŚ.. I love you babeâ Becca said smiling, Michael pu-lled her in a hu-g, he was smiling too, whenever he too remembers that day, he laughs.
âI also remembered someone asking me to put off the lights when I wanted to fufil my duties as her husband, I remembered after she woke, she looked around shyly cause she was slee-ping on the sofa and I had put her on the sofa in order for me to wash our bÂŁd sheets which were stained with what made my day, her bloâŚ..â As he wanted to say blood, Becca hit him pla-yfully, she was smiling shyly âI remembered also helping her for a whole week before she became herself andâŚ.â
