Monday morning was here again.

It was just like every other day for Raymond because it was the same routine all through the other days.

The time was eight am when he joined Julia in the kitchen.

She was done with her exams and so she had the whole day to herself.

She too had just woken up and was heating water for a quick cup of coffee.

"Good morning." She greeted me when she noticed Raymond's presence in the kitchen.

"Morning." He mumbled, brushing past her, he headed for the fridge to get a bottle of cold water.

The couples were silent and when they felt it was time to speak, they both asked in unison,

"You're alright?"

It was as if they had planned it beforehand but it was just a mere coincidence.

Chuckling, Raymond asked,

"Why are you thinking the same way as me?"

"That's because we are couples. You look like shit this morning, is everything alright?"

"Yeah." He muttered but that was far from the truth.

    After a few minutes of trying to remain awake, Mayor sat upright as he ran his eyes through the office in search of the parcel he was expecting. Earlier that day, Mr. Brooks had called, informing him of a confidential parcel he was going to mail to him that morning. He had told him to keep it safely pending when he would request for it without the involvement of the third party but he did otherwise but asking Raymond to handle it. When he saw the parcel, he let out a sigh of relief and then reclined on his seat for another bout of sleep. Raymond didn't say a word to him nor did he act as if he was awake moments ago. He didn't mind if Mayor bored him with work, the fact that he had been of help to him for a long time was enough for him to show his gratitude and the only way for him to do this was to work in silence. If not because of his poor attitude to work, there was no way he would have access to the documents he had been frolicking with. Sighing, he returned to his a

Are you angry because I defeated you in our little game?” She yelled back at her, rolling her eyes to the back of her head. “That's not the point here.”“Then what is it? Speak now or forever remain silent.” She snapped, cutting a large chunk of her meat. “They are a couple, we shouldn't make things tough for them.” Laughing, Dina said, “Couples my foot.

We decided to play a game and I beat you to it.”“I know I lost but come to think of it, you are taking this thing too far.
