Moonlight Lovers

The thunderstorms were even getting more intense, hiding the stars through its cottony picturesque. Inside the house, Seb seated nervously. She pulled the chair and let her sit down, while involuntarily smelled the sweetness and smoothness of her hair in front of him that electrified his manly being that much. Then he got back to his seat and Karla started to pray and blessed the food then they started to dig in their spoons for dinner.

"What if I'll make her sleep, it's easier than this. But...she oftentimes unexpectedly slept because of us...it's still unfair. But it's more sinful to feel this way...no, not, it's not really a sin, it's survival and a mission. But it's another's woman...not mine, no, not, I literally don't have a woman, goodness! what am I thinking...I'm an angel...but my heart is throbbing, holy angel! Banli, where are you? help me."

" Here...a bigger part of the fish, take this better than all the solo rice you've been enjoying." Karla smiled while teasing him.

"You're...you're beauty is decaying my power, slowly fading my entire soul and ...yes, reclusion perpetua. Not now, God in heavens, spare me, I'll better eat everything what she'd been delivering on my plate." Godem in Seb thought while sweating.

" I'm done. Thank you for the food Seb, they're all delicious and I'm really full tonight." She tried washing the dishes but Seb urged her to wash up and sleep.

She then smiled, thank him repeatedly for the sumptuous dinner then entered the bedroom. After doing the dishes where he was not on his focus, he hurriedly went inside his room and took a bath. After changing his outfit for sleep, a strong lightning nearby with a stronger earthquake had stricken and shook the place which made Karla to rush outside his room but just sat down beside the door.

" Seb...there's a light...ning and quake, did you feel those?"

" Ye..yes..." He'd thought safe already but was astounded by her chills and grunts, outside his door.

When opening the door, he found her sitting down while leaning on his bedroom's wall, sweating while embracing her legs so tight.

" Okay, it's alright, the quake is gone...lightning is lightning, it's over. If it gets back, don't worry anymore, I'm here, come on, get inside. You should have not knocked, the door is always open. It's...it's your house, it's your room too. Come here..." Then Seb assisted her to stand up in going inside. It was a beautiful room where their 30x20 inches wedding photo was on top of the bed's wall. There was a vase lodged with fresh red roses and her picture below it, framed with little shining gems. There are two windows, bigger ones, and there were chestnuts again fronting with the clear skies, it's a mezzanine room so it's ambiance is more conducive. She also noticed their photo kissing and was hanged beside the window. It was such a record-breaking photo that made her a little awkward and avoided to see it while smiling and moved backward without knowing Seb was catching her softly before she would fall and gently held her small shoulders.

" His mom removed it already and had it ripped into pieces, but Seb, you restored it?" Karla softly spoke.

" Yes, it's...it's because, it's awesome. I usually look at it when I'm tired and I felt of being possessed by it's aura, hmm...it's already 9 o'clock, you go to sleep now, tomorrow is another day at work. Just...just stay here if you would like to see all these memories around." Seb put her on bed.

" The bed was facing the open windows and she was relaxingly settled fronting the skies that became clearer and bluer. The moon appeared as it escaped from the gnashing nimbus clouds and she smilingly appreciated the one in a million house such theirs.

"It's beautiful in here. I almost forgot this view. Here I am again in our room, I feel safe and relaxed." She murmured it while looking at the moon and without blinking her eyes, sweetly smiling while covering her self with a blanket. The moonlight looked like a spotlight on her face, dazzling and symbolically shimmering while she was slowly closing her eyes.

Godem in Seb was magnetized staring at her with that long. He was amazed with that woman in front of her.

"Such a woman of grace with a high sense of control, a human was brought up that well while I was an angel, dying around looking at her. Oh my...does that mean only pure women can attract angels?" He smiled and closed the windows, encompassing his hand to shield it, as well as the door.

He went back to the shower and was praying to the heavens to rescue him. He extravagantly used the soap just to keep himself busy. He got out after minutes and changed an outfit, for the second time and opened the windows again. The moon shine the brightest on them.

" She's asleep. I'm safe now, whew! I better lay down on the edge and watch her till she wakes up." He thought.

After a minute, an earthquake struck again that woke her. But when she saw him staring at her smiling, she did not move nor stand up.

" Seb...it's shaking again."

" It's okay, just calm down...just... hold my hand while you sleep back, my dear.

" But...my heart is palpitating. Can you come closer. Don't be afraid, the quake is more scary than me." She smiled while putting another pillow beside her.

" Hmm...now that I'm here...I prefer to look at the moon and not looking at your... face." He smiled.

Moments later.

" The quake had stopped now...thanks, just hold my hand and let's go to sleep together, Seb."

" Where in the universe where a man can sleep tightly beside a beautiful woman such hers...it seems I'm suffocated, her lovely scent is driving me even crazier." He thought.

While silent, he can see the silhouette of their framed picture in a kissing mode beside the cabinet and adjacent to the windows, that picture was more tempting and mind-wrecking, hardened his paralyzed heart and sweat like any other human husband would feel. The moonlight struck them vibrantly. Then she whispered slowly.

" Seb, are... you okay?"

" No, I'm... I'm not okay, honestly..my body isn't getting better, I'm literally affected and also curious of you... my dear. I don't know but...you're unusual. That's why your husband fought for life with equal trust on you. But...honestly...he told me to make you...a woman tonight...I mean, he wants you to be with this...body, his body." Seb opened his eyes and the silence took place. She had slept deeply while listening to her husband's voice. Godem in Seb slowly recovered his hand, moved back and ran to the bathroom. He took a bath for the third time, had a deep breathe while pacifying his tensions.

" Heavens...did she become an emotionally insensitive after all those years... she's more interesting than my mission, huh." Thank you Lord. Then he smiled.
