One Last Week

"Why did you want to go in here anyway?" Clifford asked once they already settled down on their rest house in Owen.

"I just wanted to. Now let's go to sleep. It's pretty late already. We still have a lot of things to do tomorrow! It'll be a big day!" Lexilia said as she lies down in bed. Clifford was about to exit the room when his wife called him using their endearment.

"Love!"

"H-Hmm?"

"We're supposed to sleep together! Tsk Tsk, have you forgotten about it?" she said.

"Ah, oh yeah, sorry, I was just so tired" he excused then lie next to her as she hugged him tightly.

"Love... I love you" Lexilia murmured before she drool off to sleep.

And by what she just told him before she sets off to dreamland made his heart beats so fast. Not even Elaine could make him feel that way, the way she made him feel just now. But instead of paying attention to it, he just shrugged it off and started to sleep. After all, she said tomorrow will be a big day.

*First Day of the Week*

"Love~ Wake up! We're going to the lake! And go fishing!" Lexilia cried out that made Clifford shot his eyes wide open.

"W-What time is it?" he asked yawning as he try to woken his sleeping senses.

"It's already 8:54 Love! So get up!" she cried full of energy.

"Hmmm, ten more minutes. Or can't we just go fishing tomorrow? I still wanted to sleep" he said closing his eyes again as he raised the comforter up on his head.

"No! Have you forgotten? I-It'll be our last week as a married couple. A-And I don't want to waste any day of it" she said dreary.

There it sank in him. This was the first day of the week she asked for!

Quickly, he sat on their bed "Fine, I'll just go get a quick bath" he said, standing up and started to walk towards the bathroom.

"Love, I love you" Lexilia said before he closed the door completely.

"Oh! Love! Help me with this!" Lexilia was to be seen in the lake yelling to her husband, she was having a tug-of-war of her life with the fish she caught with her fishing rod.

"Okie!" Clifford said while giggling as he wrapped his arms around her waist and held the fishing rod. When they already pulled the fishing rod with all they might, their eyes popped out open when they saw that the fish they're struggling to catch was just six inches long.

"What?! The fish we caught was just this?!" Clifford retorted as he heard Lexilia chuckle a bit as tears swell from her eyes.

"W-What's wrong?" he asked when he saw tears run off her eyes.

"I-It's nothing. It's just that I'm soo happy, so happy that we went fishing again on this lake. I-I never thought that we could do this again." Lexilia said as she wiped her tears.

"Hey Love, don't you think that it's like deja vu? What happened in this whole fishing trip happened to us when we're still teen. And right here in this spot, you asked me to be your g-girl ---" she said not finishing what she's saying when she broke down and looked at the lake solemnly.

"It's so great to have something like that as a memory" she said.

'Does she treasure those?' he thought.

Then out of no where, Clifford hugged her from behind that made Lexilia flinched.

To be honest, he doesn't know why he's doing that, his instinct just told him to do so and since he's that obedient he followed.

"Let's go back home. I-It's getting late" Lexilia said as she stood up, she then offered her hands to him so that he could stand.

"Hmm~" he said while smiling

When they're already at the rest house, Lexilia headed straight to the bathroom saying she's gonna take a bath for she's feeling sticky because of the sweat.

When she came out, she seems to be having a hard time to breathe but when he asked her if she's alright she said that she's fine and there is nothing for him to worry about. She's just tired of what happened for the day.

He let it passed for he knows that she's easy to get tired but why is he feeling unease around his gut.
