Taste of Sanity (Seven Deadly Sinners #4)

A Love That Savours Sanity

"EVE, MAHAL, tara na ba?"

"Sleepy." It was the only thing I could ever say while trying my best to prevent myself from falling asleep while comfortably sitting on the sofa. Next thing I knew— I yawned once more. I'm so sleepy.

My heart hurts because I had to wake up early and I am never a morning person until now. My eyes hurts for forcing myself to stay awake, and the temptation of going back to bed to lay down and continue my dreams with her has been circulating in my mind. Oh, well, if it's for my wife, why not? And, instead of giving me a warm hug after she took a bath, she laughed at me. This is her fault.

"Sleep ka na lang kapag nasa byahe na tayo, mahal ko." She finally get the hint after seeing my reaction. I feel so lost in my own thoughts of wanting to get that sleep.

Masuyong yumakap siya sa batok ko at hinalikan ako sa labi. My arms automatically found her sexy waist and pulled her close to me to feel her comforting warmth.

Polaris never fails to make me realize how deeply am I in love with her. Until now, she makes everything so much better and lighter. Napakaganda niya. She is fascinating in all ways that I know, and I can't help myself but to adore her even more.

I don't mind adoring her all my life.

We made love the last night and I didn't expect how she can be so aggressive. I felt defeated. I still feel tired up until now and it's her fault alone.

Papunta sana kami ngayon sa Iceland dahil gusto niya raw na masaksihan ang Northern Lights. Of course, I would love to be with her. I would love to watch it with her. I'd love to create new memories with her, and I'd love to spend my whole life with her.

"Mahal kita." Malambing na bulong niya habang nakangiti sa akin.

Gosh. It feels like I'm melting with those sweet words. She still makes me weak as if everything only happened yesterday.

Up until now, she never fails to make me feel as though we're just new in our relationship. Our marriage was never easy, but the foundation of what we have is strong enough to hold the both of us steady to our ground, and to let us conquer the devastating catastrophe the world might let us experience.

"Te amo tanto, Polaris." I whispered and gave a light kiss on her lips. It's a kiss that lasted for seconds, and I keep on missing her.

Every time, every second— I am painfully missing her.

"Gusto mo resched na lang natin sa ibang araw?" She asked and sat beside me on the sofa. I wrapped my arm around her small waist and rested my chin on her shoulder while feeling her delicate body.

"Hm-mm." I hummed. She held my hand and intertwined our fingers that made me happy. It's a small gesture but the impact in my system is what she will never expect.

"Pagod pa ang mahal ko." She playfully winked at me that made me groan. That is sexy, gosh.

We got married twice but the feelings just keep on growing. I am loving her deeply, insanely, gently.

"It's your fault." Paninisi ko pero imbes na mainis ay mas lalo siyang napangiti.

"I kinda feel bad for being this happy about the outcome of last night." Natatawang saad niya kaya hindi makapaniwalang napatingin ako sa kan'ya. She's unbelievable. "Gusto mo ng coffee?" She offered but I shook my head in return. I asked for a cuddle instead.

I can feel her very well and I could have never ask for more. We're taking care of each other very well while living our lives to the fullest. It's not easy, and I am not easy to handle because my monsters still haunts me up until now, but, I am now steady. She holds me in her arms and when everything feels like falling apart---she is there to hold me steady, and to let me lean on her so I will not fall down.
