Mike’s POV
Soon she was done with the cooking and I sat the table as she gets the food, we sat down, prayed and started eating.
“Laura ”
“Yes babe”
“I will tell you everything you asked me before ”
“Huh? Are you serious?”
“Yes”
I started telling her everything, watching her face and expressions to gauge out her next reaction, she said nothing, just kept listening.
“That’s what happened ”
“Okay, thank you for telling me babe, it been wonderful to see you trust me”
“Babe please be careful, I don’t want anything to happen to you, so please be careful ”
“Do t worry babe, nothing will happen to me, I will be careful ”
“Okay then ”
“Babe?”
“Yes!?”
“Thank you for telling me, I really appreciate”
I smiled at her warmly, reaching for her hand across the table, that went well.
Xavier’s POV
The sea wasn’t full when we arrived, we out from the car and sat down on the car’s boot using the lid as shield from the sun, we bought pizza and juice to eat, even hamburger on Jess’s insistence.
“Aaah, I feel good and satisfied ”
“Am glad you feel like that, the beach is so calm tonight ”
“I feel the same way, it feels calm and don’t forget beautiful, it’s so pretty”
“You must like going to the beach a lot?”
“Yes, it’s my sanctuary, whenever the day goes bad, I came here after work to see the sunset, it calms my troubled heart and makes me forget my troubles”
“Now am liking the beach too, I feel grateful to it that it’s your place of comfort, am glad you have somewhere to go and relieve yourself ”
“Yeah, it did a good job in keeping me sane ”
After that we ate our now dinner as we watch the sun dip into the ocean little by little, that’s the part I like the most, the few people around started leaving but the beautiful side is when the moon is full painting the ocean in blue sparkles.
“Babe?”
“Yes”
“Can you swim? Since you go to the beach a lot you know how to swim right?”
“Yes, I do know how, my grandma and aunt taught me how to”
“What do you say we come next time with Mike and Laura to swim?”
“Is it a double date then?”
“Yes, if you want sweetheart ”
“That’s okay, I missed Laura, so let’s do it then ”
We sat there till the air got too chilly, and Jess was starting to doze off, I helped her into the car, put on her seat belt and cleared our temporary eating place, making sure to dispose of it into the bin and entered my car and drove off.
The drive home was silent the only sound I heard was Jess’s soft breathing, it calms me down by a lot, I started humming a tune my mother also hum whenever she is happy which is almost all the time and it kind of stuck on me.
By the time we arrived home, Jessi was in deep sleep, I parked the car at my parking lot, came out and went to her side, I opened the door and gently removed her seat belt and carried her out.
She snuggled closer to me as I carried her inside in bridal style, she feels right and soft in my arms, she snuggled deeper as if she has found home but little did she know that she is my home, my peace and my own sanctuary.
I climbed the stairs one at a time in order not to wake her up, I placed on the bed as gentle as possible and took my tie to blindfold myself but it was after getting her pyjamas, I changed her clothes for her, she must be in a deep sleep because she didn’t wake up, I removed the blindfold once am done, I only got one button wrong but I redid it.
I brushed my teeth, changed my clothes and joined her in bed, cuddling her to myself and she wormed deeper into me inhaling my scent which made me flustered a little, we slept like that.
I woke up to the space In front of me empty and cold, I rubbed my eyes to clear out the sleep, the sweet aroma of bacon hit my nose making me salivate, I went into the bathroom, did my business, washed my hands and face and went downstairs.
“Good morning beautiful ”
I greeted her once I reached the kitchen, hugging her from behind and kissing her on her soft lips,
“Good morning Xavier, how was your night?”
“Very good and yours babe?”
“Very very very good, you carried me up because am sure I didn’t get up those stairs on my own, thanks Xav”
“No problem, that’s my job and besides you aren’t heavy, you are actually light if I should say, so it was no problem sweetie ”
“Okay then, sit down, breakfast is almost ready”
“Let me help you a little ”
“Okay, set the table, let me get the food”
“Alright ”
We both did out part and soon breakfast was ready, we ate while enjoying each others company, once we’re done I cleared the table and she the kitchen before we went to prepare for work.
“Are you done, babe?”
“Yes, let’s go”
We went with my car as usual and I dropped her off at her company, she kissed me goodbye, which I made to turn into a full blown kiss, am starting to love my tinted glasses.
“Xavier ”
“Yes, babe, now go on in, will come pick you after work ”
“Okay, oh I almost forgot, here take this, I made lunch for you, a little bird told me you skip lunch a lot, make sure you eat it without leaving any crumbs ”
“Sure ma’am, anything for my babe”
“Bye”
I nodded and drove off to my own company and working place while grinning like an idiot.
