''So the best couple of the night goes to… ''
Nicklaus sipped from his cup, his eyes keen on Tiana. He pushed some strands of hair away from her face, staring at his beautiful wife.
''Table 17! ''
Everyone stood and Tiana joined them clapping elatedly; she looked around, waiting for the couple on the table to step out. She had clapped for a moment when she noticed that all eyes were turned to her and they were smiling brightly.

''What do you have to say to us?''
The manager beamed at them and Tiana smiled brightly; ''thank you, thank you so much. The truth is, we didn't even know there was an event here, and we just came to have drinks. I was so shocked when we were called. We are so grateful for the gifts. ''

''Okay, '' Nicklaus laughed when he noticed that all eyes were on him, waiting for his speech.
''I didn't even know what this was about until I was standing in front of you, that's because I was staring at this beauty beside me, my darling wife. ''

He turned to the manager and the manager nodded;
''Yes, yes. It is! ''
''Alright, I'll let my wife make the choice. '' Tiana smiled and her eyes turned to the people in front of her.

…
Diana tossed in bed, her eyes blinking open. She stared at the ceiling for a second before she jumped out of bed;
'Michael is here!' her eyes turned to the wall clock and she saw it was past 9. It was Sunday, she wasn't sure if he had anything doing, but either way, she didn't want him waking up before her so she quickly jumped out of bed. Quickly brushing her teeth she washed her face and arranged her hair before walking out of her room.
As she opened the door, the sweet smell of egg and sardine hit her nostrils and her eyes widened;
Not only was he up, he was also making breakfast!
Diana didn't know if she should be happy or ashamed of herself, she slowly turned to the kitchen.
''Good morning; ''
Diana leaned on the door with a grin on her lips; Michael turned to look at the direction of the voice. His hair looked damp as he turned to her like he already had a bath. He wasn't putting on any shirt and his well-chiseled abs warmed her eyes; Diana gulped and she quickly pulled her eyes from his body, not wanting to be caught staring again.
''Morning, you just waking up? ''
He smiled at her as he watched her walk to him; ''yeah, didn't know you wake up so early, I would have put on my alarm, I feel embarrassed. ''
Michael laughed; ''you don't have to be, just woke up a few minutes ago, ''
