Sensation music was playing early morning, in this room where it was filled with love, miss Natasha was lying on her back and her boyfriend on top in their birthday suits making sweet love.
Legs in the air, fingers scratching his back, her mouth was open but only sexy moans and cries were coming out, he was inside her fully, kissing her neck, sending her hormones into overdrive.

Some minutes later, Gabriel ran downstairs, pulled a high five with his big brother, picked stuff off the table, kissed his mother on the cheek and left in a hurry.

"My little brother's growing up" Caleb says to his mother Adrianna, "I'm glad you noticed, son" she replied sarcastically.

"Yes I did"

"I'm not sure you did though, mother"

"What are you implying Caleb?"

"I meant to say you didn't notice he was glowing, carried more than two toasts and a full cup of coffee, also his car engine started before he reached the garage, wow he's letting his girl sleepover and he just had morning sex with her"

"Shit", says Adrianna then continues, "you sure you aren't adopted? You are becoming smarter than me"
Caleb replies with a smile, "no mum, you are just becoming a bit old"

"I'm going to give him the responsibility speech as I don't want immature grand kids here yet" she said back with a smile.

"So, how's your ex-wife?" She asked suspiciously.
"I haven't spoken to her since she left me" Caleb replied
"I'm just asking, because you were so happy with her and I miss seeing that on your face"

"I know mum, anyway I'm running late, see you in the evening, will you be needing anything?"
"No don't worry, I was doing good before you came back to live with us"

Seated inside his BMW Gina, with all its expensive and exclusive features, he unlocked his phone and scrolled through his wife's pictures and silently said "I will see you soon".

Gabriel and Natasha arrived at the university both reminiscing about the night they just had, she bid farewell to him when he dropped her so that he could go park at his normal spot.

As she was walking and waving to some friends, she heard the familiar tone of her phone signaling her a text just came through, she stopped and took her phone off her handbag.

"I shall spend 9,10,11am thinking about all the gorgeous features your mama gave you, can't get enough, see you laters"

She just blushed and made her way to her economics class, feeling like today was going to be a fabulous day.

As she came in the door, her smile was glowing it could be used to light up as many rural street lights as possible, her bestie caught that and was immediately in curious mode.

"So how was your night?" was the first words off her lips, she just replied in one word "EPIC".

"So do you think it's going to be a potentially promising relationship?" asked Betty, "one step at a time, girl, relationships means trusting each other, it's like building a city and we have yet to decide where to place the main attraction."

She took her phone, remembering she hasn't replied to the text,
"So which parts of my body will u spend 3 hours thinking about?" Pressed send then flushed once more...

Seconds later she received another text, "your measurements, il give each an hour."
Betty was peeking and asked "measurements?" Natasha nodded, "yes, my bust, waist and hips!"

The economics lecturer walked in and class started leaving Betty with her mouth wide open and Natasha still blushing.

Caleb managed to maneuver through traffic, listening to his favorite tunes and got to the office earlier than he expected, walking through the front door and security officials, this office and the logo on the floor has been what's familiar to him for the last five years.

His heart was racing thinking about what his mother said to him about his happiness, he picked up the phone, dialed the marshal's numbers and waited, "hi, its Caleb, I need to see her today, make sure it's safe."

The guy on the other side listened well and then responded, "Okay she leaves job at four, you can see her, but follow same protocols as always."

The day seemed so long, but by three, he left the office, got on the highway and drove for thirty minutes, parked his car at some intersection motel and walked inside, the reception lady looked up and he said "strategic bullshit" as a code word and she handed him a key.

He walked out the back and saw the Yamaha bike and took that up the highway to a gated community, left the bike there and showed his badge to security who nodded and escorted him to a black saloon car where he got in and was dropped at a nice house, he got off the car, sighed and walked to the door.

Caleb stood at the porch and rang the bell, he waited patiently until he saw some shadow from under the door, he could hear the door get unlocked slowly and a sad smile formed on his face.

She stood there so pretty and comfortable, eyed him from head to toe and asked "what? No presents?"

He walked inside the house, ignoring the question; she looked at him worryingly and asked again "is it safe to be here right now?" caleb just nodded and smiled, "its all good Christina, I just came all this way to check on you and say the following or better yet I wrote it down for you to read it yourself."

On the note he gave her was the following words:

To my wife,

Tina, no matter the distance, we will be together forever, even in my imagination and dreams I always open my eyes seeing you there right in front of me, If you were a drug it wouldn't matter if I suffered an overdose.

Tina, I would risk my life for you because all the memories I would want in this life is to spend the rest of my days with you...promise me we won't have time to fight at all, as time has passed and I can't surely know how much is left.

My feelings for you are now at a higher level, I just hope you know this.

Love,

Your Husband.

Christina surely was mad knowing whatever he wrote cant make up for lost time so she asked, "so this letter was to be delivered by hand or to be mailed so that more days will pass without me seeing you?"

"if that's what you think, then I better go, because it was me, the letter or both" He said back.

"No, you should stay the night, we are still married and to be frank I miss you too, its lonely out here. i also appreciate the letter as I'm sure you took so long to come up with something sweet as that."

"So how have you been?" He asked.

"New job sucks, but protective custody is super fun, you are always guarded, and chauffeured , it's been 6 months since I drove my car, you must believe that i know you love me at a higher level than you claim."

"Darling, a marksman missed you by an inch, that bullet would have taken you away from me in a second, I feel my insides hurt thinking that something so small has the power to separate us forever" He replied sadly.

"Come on, cheer up let's have some dinner and do something together, I'm up for some card or board games if you are, hmmm?"

"Sounds interesting, but I'm hundred percent your body yearns for mine, three months is long for them not to connect and games is just another way for delaying the inevitable" he whispered.

"Wow, please tell me your libido isn't what has lead you to my fortress of solitude? You aren't getting a piece of me tonight and look, I do have a comfortable couch so make yourself at home honey" she furiously left the room in a hurry.

He exhaled noisily, picked up a pillow and the remote, jumped on the sofa and started scrolling through channels as he thought of ways to free his wife from this miserable lane of her life. After an hour or so went in to check on her sleeping so innocently and believed that one day she will once more be safe between his arms.
