"My MaRiLyn..."

31.

Marilyn is fast asleep in bed with me but I'm wide awake staring at her. She is so beautiful. Who thought that I'd ever love again? I will do whatever it takes to protect you,Marilyn even if it means killing for you. I've done it before and I'll do it again,all for you.

The world will try to pin against you and I but don't you worry because you've got me by your side. I am your creator and a creator looks out for his creations.

I agree I've been a bad man. I killed what I claimed to love but it was not intentional, Marilyn. They denied me. Me,their god. I am not crazy. I protect. My heart Is a dark place but it needs cleansing and you,My Marilyn can fix me just like I have started fixing you. I will kill for you.

I caress her cheek and she giggles. She finally opens her beautiful eyes. She smiles at me.

"Good morning," I greet her and she holds my hand that's on her cheek and kisses it.

"Good morning,soul mate," she greets back.

This is pleasant. She is finally acknowledging who I am to her now. I smile at her.

"Soul mate? How come?" I ask.

"Because you are. I know you are," she says to me. I am astonished.

Marilyn moves closer to me and she kisses me. She holds onto me and puts her head on my chest.

"I want to feel this good forevermore and I want to feel this good with non other than you,Timothy," she tells me.

I hear the sincerity in her voice and I believe her. I trust her. We have passed through fire together and we can walk through more of that together. I won't leave your sight because you deserve the world. It's high time I let her know who I am now because she now knows who I am to her. Her soul mate.

"I want to be with you forever,Marilyn," I tell her and she softly chuckles.

"Sure you do," she says and I scoff.

"Sure I do? That's it?"

"Stop,Tim. I feel the same way too," Marilyn replies.

We just lay there in silence. It's a good kind of silence and I realise that Marilyn is married. She needs to go back home.

"Mari,go home. Your kids are waiting for you," I remind her and she groans in annoyance.

"They have school today so there's no one home," she informs me and holds onto me tighter now. She doesn't want to leave.

"It's a Saturday,Marilyn," I reply. She deeply sighs and sits up straight. She gets out of bed butt naked and begins to dress up.

"I will see you tonight," she says and ties her hair in a messy bun as she finishes dressing up. I sit up straight and cross my arms looking at her.

"Good bye,soul mate," Marilyn bids me farewell. She blows a kiss at me and walks out of my room to the living room.

I hear the door shut. She's out of the house. Goody.

A day to myself again.
