When Marissa woke up in the morning, she was lying on his shirtless body, still warm in his embrace, @ 
“Se*xy!” She whispered and left the bed in high spirits after kissing his cheek. 
Last night after getting done with the story, he joined her on the bed. Marissa who was twisting and turning before his arrival, didn’t take time to get into deep sleep. 
It was almost a miracle. 
A woman who couldn’t sleep peacefully in the last four years felt relief and instantly used to fall asleep in his arms.. 
While taking a shower, she remembered something from her sleep. She couldn’t tell if it was a dream, or if it really happened. 
While combing his fingers through her hair, he had spoken very softly, “Marissa! I don’t know if after all this struggle you would choose me or not. But I’ll always choose you, love. Sometimes I get so scared. What if by the end of all this struggle, you don’t choose me? Where will I go?” 
The words kept coming to her like he kept talking to her in her sleep.

It wasn’t possible. 
Those words must be from her dream as Rafael could get closer to her because of kids but he would never fall for her. 
She turned off the shower and stepped outside. Rafael was still sleeping. 
She went to him and let some water droplets fall on his face. He made a cute pout like a baby and frowned deeply. 
“Aren’t we sleepy!” she remarked with laughter in her voice. 
“Let me sleep!” his groggy voice reached her ears, “You also come here. Join. me in bed,” he smacked the space near him on the mattress.

Who makes so much noise at this early hour?”  He was snubbing her, but Marissa knew it wasn’t serious. Because she had. more serious issues at hand.  For example, the biggest serious issue was the one thing that was poking her inner thigh from his shorts.  The little man, who was not so little, in his shorts, seemed to be hard at this hour making a tent of it.  Ouch!

Maybe yours,” He pulled over the car and looked at her. She didn’t understand what he was saying.  Two uniformed guards were there to open their doors, but Rafael rolled down his window and ordered the guard.  “No need to open the passenger door,” he said in a clipped tone and then got out.
