One Last Week

"Please… Just one last week" Lexilia pleaded.

'Why would she beg for another week?' Clifford thought 'Does she want it, for us to get separated already? In that way she can go to whoever she wanted to go with, most precisely, she can be with her lover already'

'If she really has a lover' a voice on his mind said.

'Oh believe me she has'

'How can you be so sure?' the voice asked.

'I just believe what Elaine said'

'Tss, have it your way, though I like Lexi to grow old with you. But if you decided to get separated, I won't be able to do a thing because I'm just a part of you' the voice said 'You wanted to get out of your chain right? Then do her little favour, after all, that's the only thing she asked for'

'But what about Ela---'

'Oh forget about her for a week, as simple as that! After all, it's just a week. After that, you'll be with her already whether I like it or not' the voice interrupted.

'Okay'

"Cliff... That's the only thing that I could ask for... A-After that you're free again... F-Free to be with someone else that you wanted to be with" with this, Clifford fully decided.

"Fine, I'll agree. After all it's just a week" he said.

"R-Really?" Lexilia asked as tears swell on her eyes once more.

"Yes, why? Don't you want me to agree in the first place?" Clifford asked, observing if she's just faking the pleading or not, but minutes passed it turns out to be real for him, and he thinks it's weird.

"N-No! That's not what I meant. Anyways the favour will start tomorrow" she said.

"Whaaaa----"

"Please" Lexilia pleaded casting her adorable puppy eyes, and when she does that even though he doesn't wanted to admit it, he couldn't resist her.

"Fine"

"Yes! Then let's pack our things" Lexilia said as she took out a trolly bag out of nowhere.

"Huh? Why? Can't you just be a normal housewife for the rest of the week and I'll do the same?" Clifford asked.

"This..." she said looking down with a solemn eyes "This will be the last week that we will be together, I-I wanted this to be special and this will be the last memory that we'll make together. After that you won't see me anymore... So please... Just go with the flow" she said looking straight in his eyes.

"Where are we going then?" he asked indicating that he already agree on what she wanted.

"Just to the place I really wanted to go back..." she said as pink shades appeared on her cheeks.

"Where?"

"To our hometown..." she said her eyes gleaming with happiness "To Owen"

"Hmm, that's cool"

"And oh please, just the two of us? No business, no cellphone or any gadgets. Just a camera so that we could take pictures" she said.

"But ---"

"If you're thinking about our business, I'll tell you it'll be fine. And I wanted my last week with you to be memorable right, so how could it be memorable if you're on business every minute we have?" she said sadly.

'Why is she saying that?' he thought.

'Who knows' the voice on his head said.

"Just... Pack your things and I'll do the same on mine" he said.

"Okie~" she said happily which he find a little weird.

"I-I'll just go in the bathroom for a minute" Clifford excused himself and headed to their bathroom.

"Hey Babe! Missed me already?" the blonde headed voice was to be heard on the other line.

"Yes, but that's not the reason why I called you" he wheezed.

"Hmm, what is it? And what's with the tone?" Elaine asked worriedly on the other line.

"She agree in the divorce ---"

"Really?! I mean that's great ---"

"Let me finish first..."

"Oh okay..."

"She asked for one last favor"

"And that is?"

"To be my wife for one more week to which I agreed because it's just a week. But... in that week we can't see each other and we won't have any communications because she asked me not to bring any other gadgets than a camera, but I'll try to bring my phone and call you once in a while"

"Is that the only thing she asked from you?"

"Yeah, after that I'm already free to be with you and live with each other ---"

"I'm cool with it. After all that's the only thing she asked for a week. Ooops! Gotta go baby, my pictorial will start soon. Bye bye Babe, I love you" she said making a kiss sound.

"Me too, I love you" he said as he hung up.

He then went back to their room after his conversation with his mistress.

"Let's go already"
