One Last Week

*4th day of the week*

"Love~" Lexilia called excitedly to her sleeping husband.

"Hmm?" Clifford groans as he turns to the other side of the bed.

"Come on! You've been sleeping for almost a day! It's a quarter after four in the afternoon already! You'll be wasting the fourth day if you won't get up!" she said that made him shot his dozy eyes but then a grin plastered on his face once he saw his wife.

"Why are you smiling like a fish? Come on! Get up!" Lexilia retorted.

"Sorry I woke up late Love. And again I'm sorry, even if I wanted to spend the rest of the day with you I can't" he said that made her look disappointed.

"But you promised me that we'll spend the whole week together and now you're saying that you can't spend the whole day with me no let me scratch it, the rest of the day because you already waste half a day and now you're about to waste the rest" she said while pouting.

"Yes, Yes I know what I promised but..."

"But what?" she asked not looking at him.

"I can't stand up" he said that made her look at him worriedly.

"Huh? Why? What's wrong? Tell me?" she asked the disappointed look on her face disappearing as it changed into a worried look.

"I-I don't know! I just can't" he said.

"Eh? Why? Oh how can I make you stand?" She asked.

"It seems that the only thing that can make me stand was a good morning kiss from my lovely wife" he said in a gleeful tone that made her look relieved as her face brightens but later on her expression turn into a frown.

"Why? Can I not ask my lovely wife for a kiss?" he asked but when she didn't answered "Oh, okay. It's fine if you won't---" he then felt a soft lip crushed in his. As they parted, he saw her teary eyes again.

"Idiot! First of all you can! You can ask for a kiss! And second, that is so not a good morning kiss, coz it's already afternoon!" she said wiping the tears that sprout on her eyes.

"Shh, now don't cry... I just want to feel the tender love of my lovely wife through a kiss" he said as he sat up and hugged her.

"Hmm~ let's go at the back" she said happily as she kissed him once more.

"Why? Aren't you tired to go---"

"Tired? Nu-uh mister, we can't go far at this moment because it's almost evening. So let's just take a walk at the seashore" she said.

"Hmm, that's a great idea. We'll go after I get a real quick bath, wait for me okay?" he said as he walks to the bathroom's way.

"Love, I love you" she said sweetly.

"Uh... Y-Yeah" he said as he entered the bathroom.

"Woah! Isn't it wonderful? Us walking to the seashore while HHWW?" Lexilia said happily.

"HHWW?" Clifford asked eyebrows rising out of confusion.

"Duh! Holding hands while walking" she said as if the whole world knew it.

"Ehehehe, yeah, like we used to before" he said holding her hand tightly.

"Oh! Love! Look!" she exclaims as she picked a turquoise green shell that looks like a heart.

"It's beautiful... But you're much more beautiful than that" he said sincerely.

"Love! The shell can be open! Isn't it great?" she asked happily as she clenched at the right side of her chest.

"Oh? What's wrong?" he asked.

"Nothing, it's just that I think my heart will explode with too much happiness." She said smiling sweetly at him.

"You sure?"

"Yep! 101% sure boss" she said even saluting.

"Hmmm, okay" he said.

"Hmm, since we're already here. Why don't we watch the sunset?" she asked happily.

"Sure" he said as he sits on the sand. His wife also did what he did and leans on his shoulder.

"Love. This is soo beautiful" she said.

"Yeah, but I told you you're much more beautiful than everything else in the world" he said as he snake his arms around her waist.

Within these past few days with her, he can't deny to himself that it's the happiest days of his life, exclude when they got married of course.

He hasn't felt any of this happiness when he's with Elaine. Sure she can make her happy but not as Lexilia can make her.

Oh he's too confused. He can't feel in his gut his what-so-called love for Elaine anymore, it's as if it faded out of the blue and his feelings for his wife came back.

But he still need to find his true feelings, he still need a little time to find it, and once he found it, he'll choose one between the two.

"Love, the sun has set. Let's head back home" he said, but he didn't hear any response.

"Love?" he called once more before looking at her. He smiled widely once he saw her sleeping peacefully.

"Maybe she's too tired about what happened this day" he mumbled to himself as he wrapped his arms and legs around him and carries her back to their rest house.

Once they entered their room, he gently lays her to the bed and watches her sleep. But while sleeping, he saw a tear slip her close eyes as she started to sleep talk.

"Love..."

"Hmm?"

But what is she sorry for? She say's sorry for the second time now.

Now he's totally confused on what she's sorry for.

Is she hiding something behind her that she asked sorry? But if she does then what is it?
