Daymon
Just over an earth year later; six Nargo weeks later
âThank you, Daymon,â Kendra says exasperatedly.
âFor?â
âFor giving me a break from the twins, getting a babysitter, and taking me out for supper. Iâm exhausted,â she admits.
I canât imagine Kendra taking care of the twins by herself. What if I never would have come back from Nargo? There is no way she could have handled it. Itâs a lot of work for two of us let alone one.
I chuckle and pour her another glass of wine. âYou deserve it.â
She grins and takes a bite of her salmon. She has no idea that after this meal Iâm taking her to a five-star hotel for the night. She needs this. Sheâs earned it.
âYou know, this salmon is really good,â she says through a full mouth.
Iâm having the same thing and, yes, it is delicious. I nod in agreement. I straighten my tie and motion for the waiter to bring us some dessert menus. Kendra eyes them and shakes her head. I can tell sheâs stuffed, but that doesnât mean I canât order her one to go for later.
âCan we get the cheesecake, please maâam, to go if we could,â I order. The waitress smiles and assures us that itâll be out in a minute.
Kendra looks pleased which in return makes me pleased. I reach across the table and grip her wrist softly without even thinking about it. âAre you ready to get the bill?â I ask.
She reluctantly nods. âIâm not sure if Iâm ready to leave just yet, but yes, I guess we better,â she decides with a curt nod.
The waiter returns with the bill and our dessert. I pay for our meal, then I hold Kendraâs hand as we exit the restaurant. I open the passenger side door of my new Mercedes, and she gets in. When Iâm in the vehicle, I start the engine and lean over to plant a kiss on her lips. I deepen the kiss and then sit back in my seat and put the car in reverse.
âWhat was that for?â she asks, her cheeks clearly reddening.
âFor being the best girlfriend anyone could ask for,â I say through a grin.
She lights up and grips my hand as I drive with the other. She turns the radio on softly and then leans back and closes her eyes. I know sheâs fallen asleep when a song she hates comes on, and she doesnât change it immediately.
We pull up in front of the hotel and I pop the trunk. I hand our bags to the bag guy at the door and give the valet my keys before picking her up and carrying her out of the car. I donât have the strength that I once had but Iâm still strong, not that Kendra is heavy. I know sheâs exhausted so Iâm not surprised when she doesnât wake up while I check in and carry her to our room. I fill the Jacuzzi full of water. The sound of the jets wakes her up.
