ELEVEN
I woke up when I feel someone kissing me. When I open my eyes I saw Maggie sweet smiling at me.
"You're really handsome when you sleep," she said and kissed me again.
"Why, if I am awake, not?"
"More handsome. Good morning, love."
"Good morning too, love." I pulled her so she lay down on me. "The morning is happier when there is morning sex." I kissed her on the neck but she laughed.
"Sex tastes better when I am your partner."
"Why? Do you think I'll look for another sex partner?"
"Hmph?" She puts her finger under her chin.
"Maggie?" I was annoyed calling her name.
"Hahaha. I love you, Blaze."
"I love you, too."
"Get up and take a shower, I'll wait for you downstairs, and let's eat together." She got up but I pulled her again. "Hey?"
"I don't want you to get lost next to me."
"Me too, but we're going to starve to death because of our flirtation." She ran her fingers through my chest so I sighed. "Sex is life, but the food is more life." I accompanied with a loud laugh what she said.
"Let's take a bath together, Mag."
"I don't want to, your bath is getting vulgar."
"Because I can't avoid your beautiful body. I'm always attracted."
"That's why I'm going to avoid you. Blaze, take a bath and I'll wait for you at the down."
"Hug me first."
"Just a hug?"
"Yes, I think," I replied with a mischievous smile. Maggie hugged me, but I ran my finger behind her to caress her. I even kissed her neck and crawled my hand.
"I'm thrilled with your meanness, Blaze."
"If only I could get through." Then I stood up and supported her.
I take a bath while thinking about my wife. This feeling is new to me. Is it really like this when in love? I mean, I also like women who used to be my type. I was excited to see and talk to and I always thought but not like this.
I am thinking where is she now? Is she happy after she stole my kiss? Wait, why am I thinking of her? I am married now.
The one I saw in Phoenix before was just like this. Excited to go home, smiling for no reason. Is Phoenix can also experience the feeling of the flesh jumping inside and the heart beating faster when his wife is next to him?
You add the chill when I hear her voice. That creep seems to carry the electricity that I can't understand. I don’t need to know what it is because I’m sure it belongs to the feeling of being in love. And I'm in love with my wife. No doubt. I love Maggie so much.
When I came out of the bathroom, my things were ready. The clothes I'm going to wear are ironed. Also, ties and socks are on the bed. I am so happy thinking that someone is taking care of me. Not just who but my wife.
When I went down to the kitchen I saw her preparing food. It's nice to have a wife who takes care of you. All I thought before apart from teasing me was that she knew nothing else but I was wrong.
Every day she surprised me. Besides cooking, she does all the housework. She does the laundry, and she also irons our clothes. One time I was surprised when I woke up she cleaned my car.
I ask her why she did that but she just laughed. I told her to stop but in the end, we both cleaned my car. Which I never did because I take my car to the car wash.
Maggie is unpredictable and quite surprising. It’s hard to guess what’s on her mind. But I only notice one thing about her, she loves attention. Let’s say she’s an attention seeker. She loves that I praise her even in simple things. It's not that I'm fooling her because I really just appreciate what she's doing.
Maybe we all want to be appreciated for what we do. But Maggie is different, she can give you the World and her World rotates on you when she sees that you appreciate her. She can do everything even the hardest tasks when she knows you will enjoy it and you can tell her how good she is.
"Maggie," I scolded as I felt her foot on my thigh.
"Don't mind me. Just think I am your dessert here."
"Shit!" I hissed. "I'll definitely eat you after." I was about to get up to approach her when I heard the doorbell ring.
"I'll go, finish eating so you can have dessert." Then she stood up and laughed.
I don't tend to rush to food even when sex is still in question. Mom always reminded me that the food we eat gives us energy and good health so should be appreciated.
I am done but Maggie is not there yet so I follow her into the living room.
"What's that?" I asked when I saw her bowing. There is also a painting in front of her.
"Ah, sent by Phoenix, Hailey made this." I approached her to see the painting. "It seems to be a gift for our monthsarry."
"Monthsarry?"
"One month of marriage."
"But that was two weeks ago." Of course, there was such a lucky celebration because we even celebrated Phoenix back then.
"I don't know, maybe for the second." Then she laughed. "Isn't it nice? Because I'm the one there."
The original capture of this picture had me looking into the distance while Maggie stared at the camera. But this, Hailey manages to keep me smiling while looking at Maggie laugh. The reaction seemed very real.
"Hailey's hand is great," I said and looked at her with a frown. "Why?"
"My hand is good too." I laughed hard and hugged her.
"Of course, you're good on everything."
"Really?"
"Yup, so I'm going to have my dessert."
"Wait,"
"Why?"
"Chase me." Then she pushed me and ran.
"If I catch you I will rape you."
"When you rape me you're dead to Dane because you will be late!"
"Shit!" I just shook my head and looked at the painting then went up to the bedroom.
When I opened the door I saw him making the bed.
"Mag,"
"Oh?"
"I will bring the painting to my office." She stopped what she was doing and looked at me.
"Why?"
"So that everyone knows that you are my wife."
"Ok,"
"Is it okay?"
"No one else can see that here so display it in your office so that your female clients can see that you have a beautiful wife and they won't try to flirt with you."
"The possessive." I came to her and hug her.
"Of course, I have a walk later. I'll just fix something."
"Hmph, sure, Mag,"
"Oh,"
"I love you." She stopped then to face me.
"You have no idea how much I love you, Blaze. Thank you for loving me too." I kiss her and claimed my dessert.
