Twins Genius: Two CEOs

Opening wedding gifts

...***...

Days change. The dawn had just broken, rising above its throne.

Slowly Francisco opened his eyes when he found his bed only occupied by himself. He blinked several times, to clarify his vision. The sunlight that penetrated into his room through the open glass window, was the first thing he caught sight of once his vision was clear.

Francisco woke up slowly, sitting on his bed while gathering all his consciousness that was still left in his dreamland. A moment later he circulated his gaze looking for the figure of the woman who was originally lying beside him. But his figure disappeared, lost somewhere. Instead, he smelled a delicious food; it stabbed into his nose.

Francisco got out of bed. Stepping towards the exit and following the direction where the scent was coming from.

His steps stopped in the kitchen. There he saw a variety of breakfast dishes that had been arranged neatly on the table, while Aphrodite was busy finishing one other dish that was being made. Wrestled with his cooking near the stove by wearing an apron on his body. Aphrodite seemed so engrossed in her activities that she was unaware that Francisco had been standing there looking at her from behind. Fransisco smiled, and slowly walked up to Aphrodite.

"Morning," he whispered right in Aphrodite's ear making him flinch and spontaneously turn his body around.

"French! You surprise me!" His speech.

"Haha, I'm sorry that I surprised you."

"Huft~" Aphrodite regulated her irregular breathing.

"The smell of all these foods makes me hungry" Francisco said as he approached the dinner table, looking at the breakfast dishes in front of him. Everything seemed tempting, making his empty stomach rumble just by looking at him. "You've been preparing all this since when?"

"Since. After I woke up, I immediately cleaned up the house after that cooking."

"I can't wait to eat."

"Then you have to go to the bathroom first, wash your face." Aphrodite pushed Francisco away from the dinner table.

"All right." Francisco chuckled, he stepped towards the bathroom to wash his face. Meanwhile, Aphrodite was again busy with her cooking activities that had been cut.

Finished cooking everything, Aphrodite served one last meal she had just finished. He then removed the apron on his body, put it in its original place and began to sit on one of the chairs.

Shortly thereafter Francisco returned and took a seat opposite Aphrodite. Aphrodite had already filled a Francisco dish with rice and some side dishes.

"It looks good" Francisco said with a smile looking at the dish.

"Good fun" said Aphrodite. They began to enjoy breakfast together.

"The food you make is really good, even I think it's better than the food Bertha makes." Francisco devoured his food with great zeal.

"You're too much, I just learned. There's no way it can match Bertha's cuisine."

"really. It's really delicious, I'm not lying. And I really, really like it."

"Thank you for the compliment, I'm glad you like my cooking."

"If the food you make every day is like this, I can be fat because I eat too much haha…"

"Haha. Oh, by the way today what's your plan?" Aphrodite switched the conversation.

"Today I plan to spend time with you. I'll help you make your home, oh, guys. We must do our delayed work."

"You forgot? We haven't had time to open the wedding gift we got."

"Oh, yeah. I remember now. But where is all that now? I haven't found it anywhere, not even yesterday I didn't find it."

"All of her cards are placed in a special room near our room."

"Ah... So all those gifts are in there? It's worth it the door is locked, so I can't clean the room. It turns out that all those gifts are in there?"

"Yup, and I forgot to give you the keys. So what if today we check and see everything?"

"Ng, I agree. Eh, but.. is it okay if you take too long off? What about your company?"

"You take it easy, for that matter I've left it to my confidants. Anyway, we just arrived last night and I'm still tired. Maybe I'll take a vacation in about a week before I get back to work."

"A week? Isn't it too long?"

"No. Besides resting, I also want to spend more time with you." Francisco grabbed Aphrodite's hand, clasped it with a smile.

"We'll meet every day and we'll spend a lot of time together other than when you're at the office…"

"Yes, but still. After I get back to work, it might be very difficult for us to enjoy a full day together. Therefore, I want to spend twenty-four hours a week just to be with you" he said. Aphrodite only smiled faintly in response to Francisco's words.

"Here you go, let's go back to eating. The food will be cold." Aphrodite turned her focus to the food before her and began to enjoy her breakfast.

...*...

Finished breakfast together, Francisco and Aphrodite are now on the second floor of their apartment. Standing on a door of the room located near their bedroom. The room was the room Francisco meant.

Francisco turned the key he had just inserted into the keyhole on his doorknob. Pushing it slowly which in an instant revealed the contents of the interior of the room.

Aphrodite was glued to her place when she found her wedding gift with Francisco filling all corners of the room, from the largest to the smallest, all stacked together in various corners of the room.

"Is it just my feelings or is it just so much?" Aphrodite muttered barely blinking. Francisco looked towards him.

"Maybe it's just your feelings. Come on, come on in" he said, grabbing Aphrodite's hand into the room and approaching the stack of cards.

"Frans, if we open all these gifts there will be a lot of garbage from the package."

"Just calm down, you don't have to worry. I'll help you get everything done, after all as a husband I must always help you both in joy and sorrow."

"Well, where do we start?"

"What about the little ones?"

"Okay.." replied Aphrodite approvingly, Francisco and Aphrodite began to be busy looking for the first gift they wanted to open. As Francisco had proposed, they opened it from the smallest first, continuing to the moderate to the great.
