Two weeks after their wedding they came back home
from Bora bora where they had their honeymoon, it
was a memorable experience he couldn't let her out
of his sight he wraps his arms around her waist at
every chance he gets, it was the best two weeks of his
life he never saw Belinda or had anything with her.
For the first time in her life she felt loved and at peace,
I'll loose my mind if you leave me, she tells him, I can
never leave you till death do us part, he whispers in
her ear, promise me you won't leave me no matter
what, he said, I promise you no matter what you do I'll
stay with you, she kissed him.
They laid on the bed quietly hearing each others
breathing before they both fell asleep.
Her buzzing phone woke her up, she stretched her
hand to reach for it on the bedside table.
Hello, she whispered so as not to wake her husband,

She got up to pee in the middle of the night eyes still
closed after peeing she laid back on the bed to cuddle
her husband but he wasn't there, she got to look for
him.
She searched everywhere he wasn't there, she looked
out the living room window to see if his car is still
there, he's definitely still in this house, she said to
herself.
Xavier! Xavier!! she called, hey babe why are you up?
he said startling her, she saw him coming from his
favorite room in the house, what were you doing
there, I couldn't sleep I'm just wandering, you slept
before me Xav, I woke up to pee and I couldn't sleep
again, are you sure you're fine? Sewa asked, I'm fine

I'm not a baby, I'm not saying you're a baby, why
couldn't you sleep? I don't know, is something on your
mind, I said I'm fine, are you mad at me? I'm not mad
at you babe but you really need to stop doing this,

They both laid on the bed, she wrapped her arms
around him, why do you smell like a morgue? She said

neck.
