Chapter 57: What's Most Precious
There stood a woman and a male. Taf was shocked by the appearance of the woman as he looked at her. If he was not certain that it was May to his side, she could definitely pass for an older version.
They looked similar to twins as the only difference was the slight age lines and a more mature body.
As his eyes further surveyed the room another figure could be seen. There sitting was Senior Grace with a big smile appeared on her face.
" Taf, how handsome you look today."
" Haha, Come...come.., don't be a stranger. Come and have a seat in this little hut I call a home"
A laugh was heard as she smiled at the young man that stood beside that little mischievous granddaughter of hers.
" Senior Grace.., if this Is defined as a hut, kings and queens should hang their heads in shame at what they call palaces"
" If there was a word to describe this home of yours, it would be.... immaculate. When I entered through the door it dawned on me that I was soon to be greeted by royalty. As certain as the sun rising in the east there you are before me"
" Thank you for having me"
Hearing the words Senior Grace had a wide grin on showcase. The couple that stood in appraisal of the youth smiled after hearing his words of praise.
" My little May did say you had a way with words."
" Who knew she was holding back on us"
May's mother could not help but smile while giving her a knowing look. After seeing the little look her mom gave, May could not help but look away while blushing.
" So you're a man that knows how to make the ladies smile. I should laud you for your skills as from the moment the first words came out of your mouth, all of these three ladies faces became dazzled"
" Haha.., When I say a word all I'm met by is frowns"
The male who had an average appearance laughed after he saw the warm atmosphere that covered the room.
" We are May's parents Mathew and Martha, Nice to meet you, young man"
He then came over to meet Taf as they both shook hands.
" I'm sure those frowns are hiding their adoration underneath Sir. Nice to meet you too Sir and Ma'am.
Taf went on while continuing the conversation with Mathew May's father.
" I like this young chap Martha"
Mathew could not help but say as he eyed Taf before him. The more he looked and heard, the more he felt comfortable with the interaction of the two.
" Well we did grow our daughter to be a good judge of character after all"
" So we shouldn't expect nothing less than exceptional when she brings her little boyfriend home"
Martha grinned as she continued to tease her only child who continually looked away.
" Will you stop teasing the girl Martha. After all, we already knew all about him from the unsent letters that she hid underneath her bed for the last four years"
Hearing her father's words May that stood beside Taf bubbled in rage as she gave her father a look that needed no word.
" Hehe...ok I kid...i kid"
He responded as he knew he could go no further.
" Hmm..., what letter are those I wonder"
To the side, Taf could not help but chime in after the words.
" Shouldn't we go to eating right now. The meal is probably getting cold isn't it..."
A panicky May pretended as if she did not hear the questioned posed by Taf.
...
Soon all five sat down around a table where they ate a sumptuous meal that was the perfect union of taste and delight for the senses.
" I know you're a chef of sorts, so i hope we didn't embarrass ourselves with this display you see before You, Taf"
Senior Grace smiled as she saw Taf eating to his heart content.
" As a chef myself senior Grace, I must say your hands must be made of heavenly spices. This meal is one that the tongue calls paradise."
" I have fully enjoyed it so far"
A smile was shown by Taf as he responded to Senior Grace question posed.
" Again with the flowery words young man. You're going to make the Mrs start complaining about how this man expresses himself"
Mathew could not help but say after hearing Taf words to Senior Grace.
" I'm sure hearing anything but 'Your looking ok ' when i ask how i look is better Mathew. "
" Sigh...but a woman can dream right ... Taf"
Laughter filled the room after hearing the couple having their say.
...
After the meal had concluded all five members had sat and had a little moment in which they discussed various topics.
" Taf we want you to take care of our little May for us as you both go out on this journey together"
Mathew then became serious as he looked to the youth who still had a calm demeanour. Then went on to say as he held Martha's hand.
" She is what's most precious to us and we know you both care for each other. In this city, we couldn't hope for a better person to present such a task"
Seeing the serious expression of the couple Taf took May's hand into his own.
" Rest assured that in this life she is also what's most precious to me"
" If my arms are said to be attached to my body that even the smallest cut from a sword would make me grimace in pain."
" Then she is attached to my heart. Can a man live without his heart? I would never dare to know the pain of such an experience"
After hearing his words the couple could not help but smile once more.
" Then you are really worthy of her affections "
Martha who had allowed her husband to speak went on to say. In her heart, she felt happy as she looked on the glow that presented itself on her daughter's face every time she looked at the youth.
" She will be fine by his side"
The thought went simultaneously through the couple's mind as they eyed the two.
.....
A few hours later Taf said goodbye to the couple and senior Grace. To his side walking to the door was May in her white dress.
" They really like You, Mr Charmer"
She uttered as the doorknob was turned in her hand.
" How could they not, big flower"
He responded while looking in her brown eyes.
" You know I like you too, You brute"
She held his shirt while saying as he went through the door.
" and I you...., white flower"
His hands were felt on her waist as he placed a kiss on her lips.
" Tomorrow we begin our journey"
He then walked away as May watched his back disappear into the distance.
" Tomorrow we begin our journey"
She uttered under her breathe while her hands touched her once kissed lips.
CREATORS' THOUGHTS 
Lord_of_sleep
Lord_of_sleep So this is the last chapter for this volume that will be set in Marvel City. I look forward to the challenge of writing the new characters that will be introduced as May and Taf venture out.
On another note some idiot down voted my work which pissed me off. This clown didn't even read it or anything.So I couldn't write while I was in that mood after telling him some choice words.
