This may the last sunset I'll see, So I'll take it in.
I'll take it in

This may the last air that I'll breathe, So I'll breathe it in
I'll breathe it in.

Jason

I stretched my tired body and let out a loud yawn. After this, I made my way towards the bed grateful for the heavy meal that stifled me and I couldn't eat more than half.

Liz was putting on a sexy nightie and sulking. Right now I don't even know why she is or why things between us get complicated so fast.

"Babe" she whined and sat gingerly at the bed. Her loose curly hair left in a big giant fro.

"What is it?" Irritated to the last nerve. After she iced me out because of Tiara she went about begging like a pauper. Like we don't have more than four hundred million dollars in our joint account.

Liz played with the hem of her nightdress and fanned her eyelids. She sunk her teeth into her bottom lip and bit gently. If he wasn't so tired, he would have said she looked cute and sexy.

"So how was your trip. You've been icing me out since you got back, you didn't even kiss me properly" Liz said.

"You know I can't talk about work. My trip was fine thank you. Goodnight." I stretched my hands and out off the bedside lamp.

"I'm sorry" she said gently almost like a whisper I barely caught it.

"Sorry for what?" I asked.

"For acting so childish about your past with Tiara and dragging it out this long." He couldn't see the expression on her face and she was one week late with the apology.

"Fine whatever" I replied. I wasn't just angry and hurt, I was also disappointed. The next thing I know Liz whipped off the blanket and turned on my bedside lamp.

See trouble right?

"Elizabeth!" I called out, It was more of a warning and harsh promise.

"Just get mad at me okay. I don't want us to go to bed mad over this, I missed you enough already." She shouted.

"Should I leave our marital bed and go to the guestroom for you. Since we can't resolve things on our bed either." Silence ensued and I'm sure my last statement stung.

Tonight I just wanted to grieve and rest my weary head in peace why wouldn't she let me be?

"That hurts babe. Are you sure you're okay?" Liz asked, after all it wasn't like me to intentionally try to score points in arguments.

Just go! That would have been her response but I couldn't even bring myself to say that to her. Instead I kept quiet and sulked.

I finally dragged the blanket back and covered myself saying nothing. Way to go Jason! You look childish.

Who cares? If I was childish or if she was hurting.

You. One word quietly from my subconscious and it brought everything back to focus for me. I care about her way too much.

She moved around quietly in the room and finally came to bed. It was like she knew I needed her, because she spooned me. I relaxed into her body and breathed in.

"You're acting like me babe. That scares me, it really does"Liz muttered against my back.

My anger was slowly slipping away and I turned into her arms. Liz instantly buried her face in the crook of my neck, I kissed her forehead as she did that.

"Sleep Ife." I commanded, letting her slow breaths become a lullaby to my weary body.

This was my home. This woman irrespective of the gulf, she was my home.

I was making Lasagna when Liz got back from work. I slept almost the entire day from exhaustion but felt better. As usual Leo ran to her and she crouched to the dogs level, scratching behind his ears as he barked excitedly, his tail wagging in the air.

I didn't see her this morning but she left an "I love you" note stuck on the microwave with breakfast inside. Now I let my eyes roam over her gently appreciating curve by curve accentuated by her outfit.

"Hey B" I called out smiling gently letting her know without words that the awkward wave was over and she could come to me. She did come to me and buried herself in my chest.

Leo came and wedged himself in the midst of us wanting to be a part of the hug and I laughed at how silly he was.

"I'm sorry Zaddy!" Liz said smiling at me brightly and I could swear my heart did a back flip. This complicated girl I loved in all her shades.

"Why go out to borrow money Liz without talking to me about it? Do you have the slightest idea how much we have in our joint account or how much making decisions on your own make me feel ?" I asked and squeezed her cheeks, stretching it to a point it was almost painful like a kid.

"Ouch babe" She whined and rubbed her cheeks, with a pout. Right now she looked like a baby; my cute baby.

"Could we talk about this later in bed please" she begged.

"Okay then go freshen up" I ordered going back to make my preparations.

We had a housekeeper and chef who cleaned and stocked up for us. All we had to do is reheat sometimes or make something different if we wished. I loved to make my own food so most times I made dinner if I was home like tonight.

Liz returned quickly in a mickey mouse pyjamas with a tired yawn.

"That tired uhn?" She nodded in response. "Carry me" She said pulling out the baby face look I couldn't resist.

"How old are you again?" I asked and rolled my eyes. She always does this, wanting me to carry her on my back while I got stuff done.

"Old enough to be your baby" A silly smile played on her lips as she tried to climb onto my back. I shook my head at how stubborn she was.

"You know normal wives will offer to help to make dinner right?" I asked and laughed. She smacked the back of my head playfully in return.

"Do normal wives beat their husbands too?" Letting each word drip with sarcasm.

"No and normal wives dont climb their husbands back while he makes dinner as she chews his ear"I laughed loudly this time and I felt a sharp sting on my ears.

"You know I'm going to laugh when you fall down from there right." I wasnt holding on to her at all since my hands were busy. She wrapped her hands tightly on my neck and her legs on my torso.

I tried to shake her off and she laughed, "I'm like a tick bro, I'm glued to you for life." And this woman still thinks talk like this are not sexy? When I could already feel my insides turning to butter.
Then she went to add, "Plus I know you got me. You won't let me fall"

Okay bye bye Lasagna. This woman is turning me to the melted cheese that lays on top of Lasagna and action has to happen right now. It was even sexy talk or whatnot but truth is she probably turns me on just by looking at me sometimes. I  put off the stove and started moving off to bed.

"Jason! Where are you going" She shouted, "Put me down Mismatched eyes, I'm too hungry for games."

I held her tightly and moved upstairs we were going to make magic right now. She laughed loudly like a kid, so rich and carefree and I wanted it to be just like this forever. Me making her laugh and cry sometimes especially when I say cheesy lines.

I threw her down on the bed and she bounced gently. "Babe," She screamed and scrambled away from me when she saw the glint in my eyes, "This is how you get and we will not eat dinner."

Says who? We were going to eat dinner, or I was going to eat dinner right here. "See my dinner here," I pointed to her and winked.

She flung one of the pillows and I dodged quickly. This thing must happen, "Did I not ask you to come down and you refused. Next time be a good obedient wife." I said knowing the part about obedience will annoy her even more. Just like what I was aiming for she threw two pillows simultaneously and one hit me smack on the face.

I laughed and pulled off my shirt, "Jason leave me alone. I'm hungry" She shouted as I tried to grab her and ran off.

"Me too. I'm hungry" I shouted in return. She laughed and ran off to the other end of the room.

"I'm hungry for FOOD" Liz breathed out stressing the 'food'.

"Mumu" I called out laughing and this time she threw one of her flip-flops at me and I dodged it. "Of course I meant food. Right now I want Egusi soup" I finished sending her the look she couldn't resist.

Liz stood still at my answer because she knew I meant her as my Egusi soup and I caught up to her quickly and whipped her back to bed while she was dazed.

"You'll be the end of me. You this boy with your mismatched eyes" Eyes drinking in amusement and desire.

"Okay now, since you won't stop calling me boy let me show you what a man can do" I called out getting to work.

She flipped me over quickly lying on top of me, " remember that what a man can do, A woman does even better." She kissed me or swallowed me, its the same thing for us and as her eyes darkened with desire I knew I was in for it.

Just kill me now. This was home.
