Robert's POV

I woke up with the sun streaming through the window. I pulled myself closer to Hazel, clinging to the warmth.

I heard the door fly open, "Hey Jocey." It was clearly Lily, "Why hello Robert." I could hear the smile in her voice.

Hazel made a noise that said 'I don't want to get up' and pulled the covers over her head, "Go away Lily." She groaned.

"Well since the both of you are here Jimmy and I were wondering if the two of you would like to join us for breakfast." Lily said sitting on the foot of the bed.

Hazel made another noise, "I'll go to breakfast if Robert does."

"Well I wouldn't mind." I said. It was the truth Hazel had worn me out quite a bit.

"Give us a few minutes to get dressed and stuff." She groaned at Lily once more.

Lily closed the door and Hazel rolled over and looked at me. "Good morning." I smiled.

"Good morning Robert." She lightly kissed my lips leaving the lingering heat that made me want her again.

When we finally got on our way to breakfast Jimmy and I lingered back from the girls who were walking in front of us, "You definitely let her get to you." Jimmy said as I lit a cigarette.

"Why do you say that?" I asked even though I knew he was right.

"Because you're watching her walk and you have a smile on your face. Remember after the tour you have to go home." He walked ahead of me and I almost stopped in my tracks.

The only thing I liked about going home was getting to see my kids. My wife on the other hand was always an unpredictable subject. She wasn't a stupid woman and she knew what happened when I was gone. The smile on my face had faded.

Hazel walked up to me, "Are you okay?"

I smiled at her and pulled her to me, "Yeah." I kissed her.
