BACK TO LOVE.

2⃣2⃣

Stepping on his wife's all black lace lingerie, Axel smiled to himself thinking about last night's events. The last time him and his wife had so much sex the kids were not yet born. Yesterday their rendezvous began in the kitchen , went into the bedroom then headed into the living area, shower then ended in the main bedroom. Finally it felt like he had his wife back and his fears of losing her were completely gone. Regardless of what anyone said, he knew that Ayanda had forgiven his transgressions. He picked up the cloth took it to his nostrils.

' That's disgusting but sexy in a creepy way too.'

' You don't mind my head between your thighs but you mind me sniffing your underwear?'

Ayanda bit her lower lip as she watched Axel pick up her lace thong from the floor and sniff it as he tidied up their mess.

' Want to join me in the shower?'

' Actually I want to talk to you.'

Axel felt his chest constrict and his palms sweat as soon as the word talk left her lips. The confidence from earlier all gone. Your wife telling you she wanted to talk was never a good sign.

' Wh_what is this about?'
He stuttered.

' About our marriage. I know last night we had a moment, well moments but that was just because I haven't really been intimate in months. There's still the issue of you stepping out of our marriage,.'

Axel was sweating, he thought Ayanda had forgiven his mishap when she allowed him back into their matrimonial bed but now she was telling her that it was not the case. He had apologised so many times, he did not know what to say now.

Axel felt a pit in his stomach as Ayanda spoke about the issue of him stepping out of their marriage. He knew that his mistake had caused a tremendous amount of pain and trust had been shattered between them. Despite his numerous apologies, he couldn't shake the feeling that they were not enough.

He desperately wanted to make things right, to rebuild the connection they once had. The guilt weighed heavily on him, consuming his thoughts day and night. He knew that he needed to find a way to earn back Ayanda's trust, but he also understood that it would take time and consistent effort.

Being intimate last night was a rare moment of vulnerability for both of them. It was a means to temporarily escape the pain and fill the void that had been left in their marriage. However, Axel realized that true intimacy couldn't be restored by a few moments of physical connection.

He wanted to communicate to Ayanda that he understood the gravity of his actions and the pain it had caused her. He needed to express his remorse and assure her that he was committed to rebuilding their relationship but at that moment, he found himself at a loss for words.

' You will forever hold that over my head huh?'

' Axel you did not just forget to take the garbage out or buy a cartoon of milk! You slept with another woman. _ I will be visiting my mother this week, since it's Angelica's wedding weekend and while I am gone I need you to really think about us. If this marriage is really what you want or you want to be with someone else.'

' Ayanda It was a mistake."

''  I understand that but am I the woman rest of your life with? Eternity with? ''

'I meant it when I said till death do us part."

Ayanda wanted to believe him but she was no longer secure in her marriage.
