Veil of Vows

Ch.1

I was laid in bed sleeping, in my shared room with my husband Grayson Mal. As my chest rises and falls peacefully.

I'm having that same dream again.

I'm at home.

Sitting next to my little brother, by the chair his arms were around the table. His hands holding the crayons, as he draws.

And I was drawing with him too. He was drawing characters that he created by himself again.

"So.. what is he? Some rock king?" I said, looking over at his drawing as I was done drawing mine, I put my pencil to the side. then looked back at his small figure drawing.

"Yeah.. and I also want to make him a rock pet" he said, smiling softly.

He is so cute.

The innocence in his eyes made my heart ache looking at him.

"Oh really? A rock king that has a rock pet, now that's cool" I said smirking. I move my hand to brush his hair softly, showing him a tender of affection. That of I used to give him all the time.

He softly smiled, closing his eyes, it was like he was savouring the moment.

I hated this dream, it showed me what I lost.

What isn't mine anymore.
And it hurt.. a lot.

I looked at my little brother, my gaze filled with love and care, remembering that this is the only way I can see him again. By a dream.

He opened back his eyes, that is filled with softness, the innocence of a young boy.

"Can we go play outside together today?" he said, in a soft quiet tone. He almost sounded like pleading.

I chuckled.

"Of course.. How can I say no to you?" I said, looking at him as I then winked at him. "just don't tell mom and dad anything, you know I'm grounded"

His smile widened, his eyes sparkling. "I'll not say anything to them! I pinky promise!" He said happily, as he then leaned over to hug me.

I hugged him back in a tight embrace, as i moved my head down to kiss his forehead.

"I'm glad.." I said softly, as I then closed my eyes in that moment his little body in my arms.

Right at that moment.

I can feel the warmth and the first rays of the dawn, gently kissing my face as I slowly started to rouse from my sleep. The dream over.

As the sun crept over the horizon, I turned to the other side of the bed, seeing my husband getting ready for the morning.

I never understood how he had the energy to get up early in the morning, He was always ready.

My husband, Grayson Mal, He Noticed that I was slightly awake now. He looked at me and said "good morning, darling."

"Good morning..." I murmured back, all though there wasn't any affection in my tone.

As he was fully dressed now, he went over to the table and grabbed his bible in his hands.

The constant reminder of his love and respect for the bible do to his beliefs. then Turned over the bedroom door.

Before he walked over the bedroom door, he turned to look at me, his dark eyes looking down at me laying on the bed. "Come on, get up, make me something to eat before we can go to church together." He said, in a commanding tone.

I rolled my eyes wanting to say something back, but I didn't want to start my morning in a bad mood already.

I really hated the way he wanted to boss me around. "Yeah yeah, sure." I said, forcing myself out of bed.
