Crazy for You (COMPLETED)

Chapter 71 "Living a Dream"

If there was such a thing as living your dream everyday, then I am a perfect example of it,

Elena thought.Being loved by a wonderful man like Alejandro is more than a dream in itself. Living it everyday and knowing he is mine, loving me is like a dream that I don't want to wake up from. But fortunately enough, I didn't have to close my eyes to savour each moment- because I live my life next to this wonderful man, my husband- Alejandro.

I sat up, awakened suddenly in the middle of the night- in our house, on our bed- right beside him. I see his features from the glint of the moon outside the window.

I touched his lips with my finger lovingly, he sleeps so serenely like a child.

I have to urge to press my lips on his, but I didn't want to wake him up. 

It has been a few days since I felt something is going on with my body. I somehow knew what is happening. I didn't tell Alejandro yet. I wanted to confirm it before I tell him what it is.

I smiled at the thought. 

For sure he will be happy, he always wanted to hear a news like this. We were waiting for this.

Tomorrow...yes, tomorrow. I can wait til tomorrow. 

Then I smiled as I think about how I will share the great news with him.

I lay down facing him, on my side- still watching him. He stirred a little but didn't wake up. I watch him some more- his chest gently going up and down as he breaths. It was just a joy to watch him sleep, and soon- tomorrow, it would be great to see him wide awake and watch his face light up and watch as his lips curl into a big smile when he suddenly realizes that- we will become parents.

I touched my stomach, I know he or she is there- starting her/his own existence known.

Right now it is just a secret between us. But I promise, tomorrow your Dad will be glad to feel you and say hello to you,too.

With that, Elena closes her eyes, a smile on her lips- a look of love and contentment- especially knowing she will be a Mom soon.

MORNING

When Alejandro woke up, Elena was gone. But there was a prepared breakfast on the nook and with it a small note that reads:

Good morning love. Enjoy breakfast. Can't wait to get back later. XOXO 

He smiles after reading the note.

What more can I ask? Alejandro said to himself. He is one luck man married to a wonderful woman. 

Today, he was supposed to go to his office and then meet Elena for lunch. 

He took his phone from the counter and typed a quick message to her.

Good morning, early bird. Sorry I missed you. Love you!

Alejandro ate breakfast, puts away the dishes in the dishwasher and took  a shower before getting ready to go to work.

He was just finishing off putting his tie on, when his phone beeps.

He looks at it, a message from Elena:

Had an important appointment, you were sleeping like a baby.Didn't want to wake you up. Love you too.

Alejandro smiled. Aside from Elena taking care of the cafe when they got back to the Philippines, he noticed something different about her. She seemed to be glowing, her beauty radiating. Not that he is complaing, but she seem to be acting a little strange,too although not in a bad way.
