JENNIE

Two years have passed.
Lisa can't start the day without seeing me and she won't let it end without kissing my lips and making sure I'm at her side and not leaving ever again.
God. How can we be so in love without telling each other and not having sex?
Yup.

But Lisa's divorce finality with Yuna has not been granted yet. I have witnessed her heartaches every time she comes home from the court where they both have to face each other until the divorse reaches the end.

"It's taking too long. I'm tired. I really want to cut everything off between me and Yuna."
She said while she takes her clothes off in our room and about to go to shower.

I walked towards her and held her nape while caressing her jaw.

"Hey. We're here for you. I'm here to listen to you and try my best to make you feel okay."
I assured her and I got a smile.

"I am already in so much guilt, Jen. Look. You are my family. I have kids with you. I love you but you look like my mistress. I'm tired of just keeping you here inside the house. I want to scream out loud that you're my wife. I am really sorry. You don't deserve this. I promise, once this is over, I will make you the center of everything. I will let the world know how lucky I am for having you. I am really sorry if I make you feel being hidden."
She said with a bit of tears in her eyes. I am actually surprised. I'm touched.
I honestly feel sad every time we hide. Especially the kids. But I must be the first one to understand Lisa's situation. I should not force her. I must be her home.

"Do you love me?"
I asked. Actually hesitant to ask.

"I do. And I am so sorry for putting you on this situation. I won't stay with you here if I don't love you. I am sorry if I am not too vocal."
She said as she grips my back and held me closer to her. God. She's naked.

"I know. You are vocal with your feelings. I just want to hear it now. Don't worry. I don't want you to be pressured. How I wish I can wash away all the pain you have inside."
I said.

Lisa looked at me straight in the eyes.

"We could have been so perfect. I am sorry if I was not enough before. I'm sorry you had to experience all of that when we were young."
She said.

"Lisa, you were more than enough for me. I loved you. You know that. You don't have to be sorry. Have you forgiven me for leaving you?"
I asked.

"I know you had reasons. As much as I want to know, I am just waiting for you to be ready to tell me."
She whispered and kissed the tip of my ear.

Lisa. This person who was a douchebag to other people way back, has always been so kind and loving to me. She gives me so much joy and security.

"I will tell you. I promise."
I said and she kissed my lips gently.

"The moment I first saw you is still so fresh to me.
You're still as beautiful as you were, Jen."
She said and bit her lip.

"Don't bite your lower lip like that. You know we can't have sex."
I said and she chuckled.

"How can you resist me now that I'm naked in front of you?"
She asked. Wow! The arrogance!

"Wow! The confidence.
Honestly, I can't. Even if you're not naked. But I- I love you and I don't want you to be in trouble especially now that you are not legally free yet."
I said and she walked towards the side table and pulled out something from my drawer.
