The Day Before You Came

Chapter Forty

Years later...

Summer was at its peak in the Scandinavian country, the sun was shining brightly overhead and a delicious almost surreal heat reigned in every corner, Lake Klottlasjön was no exception. The trees were now full of fruit, the birds were singing happily, and the rest of the animals within the forest peeked out to bask in the sun. The crystal-clear water of the lake sparkled, it seemed to be a perfect day to fish or take a dip.

The sun filtered through the curtains of a very particular house, illuminating the face of a beautiful redhead who lay asleep in the middle of her large bed. Between dreams she could feel the heat that the sun gave off on her face and she enjoyed it, but she was suddenly aware of something else on her body. A male hand went up her waist until it rested below her breasts on the fabric of her thin nightgown, a hand that she knew very well, his touch was already familiar to her, simply exquisite, and then a  kiss on her neck that made her feel butterflies in the stomach. Little by little she opened her green eyes and his manly voice spoke to her ear.

"Good morning my love,"

Frida stretched her feet a little and turned on her back to meet the love of her life, his beautiful blue eyes making thousands of sensations flourish inside her. "Good morning,"

Benny smiled sweetly for his wife and finally lowered his face to kiss her. He loved the softness of her lips, she was just perfect and he felt like the luckiest man in the world to have her by his side. "How did you sleep?"

"Very good," suddenly her expression changed and her brow furrowed at him sternly. "Wait, I saw you in my dreams, you were dating another woman, should I be worried?"

Benny laughed out loud and hugged her tightly. "Baby, it was just a dream. If I wanted to go out with another woman then I would ask you to wear a wig, glasses, maybe a dress of those that are hopelessly sexy and pretend that we don't know each other. And even then I would miss my Frida."

Frida raised an eyebrow as she looked at him suspiciously, "I hope so," Benny didn't let her add anything else and continued kissing her, that was his favorite hobby.

The alarm rang interrupting them, they knew it was time to get up and start their day, and today was a very special day. They both got up and put on their slippers, Frida went to wash in the bathroom and put on her silk robe, Benny had gotten up earlier so he was ready waiting for her in the living room with the gift boxes. Once they were united they entered the room of their little treasure, the place had shelves full of neatly arranged toys, a bookcase with children's books and a large white wardrobe. Benny and Frida approached the small white wooden bed that was located in the middle of the room, and there was little Colin fast asleep, his dark blonde hair spread across the pillow as he hugged his teddy bear that since he was a baby he never let go, he had even given him a name; Blue.

Frida leaned over him and began to sing happy birthday in his ear under Benny's watchful eye. Colin wasted no time stirring between dreams and waking up, when he saw his mother his beautiful blue eyes, like his father's, sparkled and a smile appeared on his delicate lips.

"Happy birthday my little love," Frida said sweetly, Colin knelt down rubbing his eyes, still a little sleepy.

"Mommy!" he threw himself into her arms, it was obvious that he was in a very good mood. He surely knew it was his birthday, three years ago he came into the world to complete the happiness of his parents, Colin was the most precious thing that Benny and Frida had, and they let him know that every single day.

Frida hugged him tightly, not wanting to let him go, she wanted to protect him from the world by sheltering him in her arms, the safest place. "Are you happy sweetheart? Because I am, I love you baby boy, I love you very much."
