"Love, what do you mean? I don't need bodyguards?"
"Yes, you do." he replied coldly peaking from the pile of papers in his desk.
"No, I don't! I don't want someone tailing me around!" I refused slamming the door from behind me.
"Look, Raine, you do. You've been going out frequently, I'm just worried of you."
"Do you not trust me? What do you think I'm doing out?" I said in disbelief.
"I do trust you, it's just the world I don't. I'm sorry I've always been busy but not as much as this, you know how important to me this deal is and you are important to me too. I promise just a week, then I'll be free again and I'll come with you wherever," Mikhail said, rubbing his exhausted face.
"I- I'm sorry, I'm being selfish..." I went to him ang hugged him tightly.
"I'm sorry too, and hey you're not being selfish," he pulled away and cupped my face, letting out a sigh.
A chuckle escaped Mikhail's lips, looking at me passionately.
"What?!" I asked, confused by his random laugh.
"Nothing" he shrugged. "It's just that I've gone accustomed with these papers, I forgot how beautiful my wife is, and now even more beautiful when frustrated."
"Yeah, such a bummer," I teased crossing my arms.
"No, not anymore."
"Well, Mr. Mikhail what you gonna do know?" I replied playfully then running to the door.
"Will see about that," Mikhail said walking towards me with a mischievous glint in his eyes.
In one swift movement, he threw me over his shoulder hauling me out of the room.
"Bleu!, I squealed. "Put me down this instant!"
"Nope!" he said.
"Mikhail!" I began to whine. "Where are you taking me?"
He threw me into the bed rolling me in sheets like a burrito then laying on top of me saying, "Hey there baby, got a little stuck?"
With all the strength I have, I kicked and...
"Ahhh!!! You hit my---" he screamed running to the bathroom.
Turns out I kicked his groin, Am I sorry? Well, I think he deserved that. I'm joking! I am sorry!
I got up the bed, knocking on the bathroom door, I asked trying to contain my laughter, "You okay?"
"It hurts!"
"You're a doctor you should know what to do!" I jokingly laughed.
"You sneak, I'm going to get you!"
"Well, if you can then maybe," I replied.
"It's your fault if we can't have a baby!" he screamed still in pain.

Then I helped him changed his clothes after that I settled him in bed because he couldn't walk.
"Here, eat or you might starve to death," I scolded.
"I might die here, but not of starvation because of you."
"Me?" I asked.
"Physical abuse," he continued
"Tsskk! Then die!"
"I bet you're not even going to last a die when I die," he teased.
"I don't care, just eat already!" I said avoiding the thought.
After I gave him his food, I took some papers from the office and back to the room. "Oh love, I received the reports. Here take a look, they all are doing quite great. "
He looked at it smiling , "You're right! I'm proud of you, this means we could probably go on a vacation soon and, we could you know?"
I giggled and took the papers from him, placing them on my bedside table.
"Some nights I lay in bed lost in my own thoughts, staring at you deep in slumber,"
he began. "What did I do to deserve you? What makes you think I'm the one for you? Why me?"
"Because, I don't know! It's you because you," I laughed rolling my eyes.
Then he took my hand, making me sit beside him, "I'm serious, why me?"
There was silence in the air as we both looked at each other affectionately waiting for something. He searched my eyes for answer looking at it deeply.
"Bleu"
"I can't give you an answer because when I ask God for answers He instead gave you. You are the answer to all my questions, doubts and worries. I love you, that might be why but why did I love you that I can't explain love is a complex subject on any matter. Love is just a word I hear and read in books, through you, God gave me the meaning to it. You found me."
He went in and pulled me into a hug, "I love you," he whispered.
"I love you too, Bleu," I mumbled softly against his chest.
Mikhail still hugging me reached for a drawer in his bedside table and pulled up a box.
Giving it to me, I said "A watch? So that I'll always have time for you?" I joked.
Mikhail chuckled, "No, so that you can get home early. That's advanced by an hour."
"Bleu!" I shrieked with laughter hitting his arm lightly.
"Thank you, love."
He turned the wrist watch downside and revealed a locket holding our wedding picture and engraved on the gold plate said "Bleu's". Mikhail then showed his, same as mine, with the engraving "Raine's".
"Gosh, you're ridiculously sweet! You're impossible!" I blushed smiling at him.
He smiled back at me, I looked up at him, staring into his sapphire orbs smiling as well. It was just a soft smile, but it conveyed all his love for me. I couldn't get my eyes of his deep blue painted eyes, I rested my head against his chest I could smell his perfume perfectly, just like the sea breeze off the coast.
"Raine, promise I'll always come and find you," He said kissing the top of my head, grazing his fingers through my hair.
I closed my eyes, nuzzling into his chest knowing he'd be there when I wake up tomorrow.
He'll be here...
