The Moon And His Star

The Second Alter (past)

Jamila woke up and rubbed her eyes before noticing her husband wasnt lying in bed beside her. She got out of bed and walked to the living room to look for him.

"Oh baby what are you doing its like 5am in the morning?" She asked him. Marc didn't look back at her when he replied. "estaré allí en un rato." He mumbled.

Jamilas eyes widened. "Excuse me?" She asked to clarify. "I'll be there in a bit." He sounded harsher and his accent seemed different.

But Jamila sighed as she came and sat beside him on the sofa. "Baby I'm worried about you. Ever since you came back from your last expidition with Bushman you've seemed to be on edge. And that damned bird isnt helping." Jamila told him.

Marc remained silent as he listened. "I just want you to know you're not alone." She continued. She leaned in for a kiss to which Marc happily accepted as he kissed her.

This kiss was more harsher than usual but equally as passionate.

Jamila broke free just so she could take a breath. She chuckled as she saw Marc was eager to continue the kiss.

But she stood up as he let go of her reluctantly. "Come to bed and get some sleep." Jamila said before returning to bed herself.

Marc or actually Jake smirked as he watched her ass when she walked away.

"I dont know layla. Ever since he came back from that expidition and..... uncle Abdallah passed on he hasn't been the same." Jamila told her.

"Baba dying has taken its toll on all of us." Layla told him. "I know but its like he's a completely different person. As if he changes in just a click. His accent changes. The look in his eyes change. He's just acts like a completely different person." Jamila explained to her.

"Maybe its just his way of coping with babas death. He had to watch baba die and almost died himself. I think its just the way hes coping." Layla told her.

"You have to just stand by his side and make sure that old bird isnt hurting him." She explained.

Jamila nodded as she continued shopping.

"Hi Marc look what i got for you." Jamila said showing him the suit she bought from the bazaar. Marc looked up and smiled slightly.

"You didnt have to do that baby." He said as he stood up and hugged her. "Marc im serious about what i said earlier." Jamila told him.

Marc looked slightly confused. But Jamila chuckled and rolled her eyes playfully. "You are not alone in this. We can both move one from this i promise." She told as she kissed his cheek before going into the kitchen.

Sometime later that night as they both lay down Jamila had fallen fast asleep. Khonshu had let Marc rest tonight or atleast he thought.

Jake lockley opened his eyes as he noticed Khonshu stood over him amd his wife. "What? its my day off tonight." Jake muttered as he held Jamila tighter.

"That was Marc not you. Get up we have work to do." Khonshu said before disappearing again.

Jake rolled his eyes before sighing. He looked down at Jamila lovingly and kissed her on the forehead before slowly getting up careful not to disturb her.

Jamila grumbled a little but didnt wake up. Jake sighed in relief as he got ready to go.

Jamila woke up because of the tap in the bathroom running. It didnt alarm her as Marc would often go on missions when she was asleep anyway.
