Labib had being petting and begging Sauda to stop crying for more than an hour but she wouldn't hear, it was like adding fuel to the burning fire, she won't stop tearing up.

     "Please baby, I promise I won't stay long there, just a week and I'll be back okay?"

     She sniffed "No, no, it's not fair, you're always travelling these days and leaving me behind in this scary big house, in fact, I'm following you there."

     He hugged her tighter as they rolled on the bed "I also want us to go together, but it's not possible, I'm travelling with three of my employees and you won't feel comfortable around them, and we'd be very busy there and I don't want to leave you all day in the hotel all alone, so it's better you stay back home."

     She buried her head into his chest crying the more "but you know a week is too mu.... much and I'll mi.... miss you a lot bibi." she said crying again.

    He don't even know what to tell her anymore, He hated seeing her in tears and she loved crying more than anything. He told her he'll be travelling to Italy for a conference and that's why she's crying her life out. And going with her isn't the best thing, it was serious business and it'll  just stress her out. He was supposed to spend two weeks there but because of her crying he had to just spend a week and leave his employees there and come back so she'd be happy. Her happiness was everything that mattered to him since the day she became his wife, He promised himself to make her happy until his very last breath.

     "Sorry baby, I'll miss you too, stop crying my baby, my beautiful wifey." she hit his chest playfully burying her head further into his chest. He chuckled before raising her head up.

     "Now can we sleep?" She nodded her head and he hugged her tighter then pulled the blanket over them.

     She feel asleep within minutes, he just couldn't take my eyes off her sleeping face, her thick long lashes elegantly casted a shadow over her eyelids, even though her eyes were closed, you could tell she had huge beautiful orbs, her cute nose inhaled and exhaled which he felt against the bare skin on his chest, her full plump lips was curled into a sweet smile adding beauty to her face. She was dark and beautiful, Labib always admired dark ladies, they were so unique, beautiful and attractive and since the very day he laid his eyes on this pretty dark skinned woman laying in his arms, He knew he had  found his princess and he promised himself he'll make her his and he did after six years.

     He thanked God everyday for having her as his wife and soul mate , He completed his life with her, she obeyed him, gave me the pleasure he never knew, showed him the true meaning of love and he'll live to appreciate all that until the end if his life. He promised to protect her, lead her to a beautiful future, care for her and love her till eternity.

    He kissed her forehead making her smile the more in her enchanting sleep. He love it a lot when she slept in his arms, it became a daily routine since they got married and it'll continue for ever. He kissed her again making her smile wider. Nothing feels good as sleeping with your beloved wife in your arms, it felt really good. He feel into a peaceful sleep without any worries because everything he could ever ask for was right in his arms now and forever.

                       ******

     The annoying sound of the alarm woke him up, he turned to see Sauda sleeping peacefully without worrying about the deafening sound the alarm was making. It was twenty minutes pass the time he was supposed to wake up. He ran his hand across her face but it was all to no avail, she didn't move an inch, he pinched her nose, again, she didn't move, he kissed her forehead and she stretched her legs but refused to open her eyes. It was as if she wasn't even there.

     Labib wondered who slept like this if not Sauda. That's them everyday, waking her up was not easy at all.

    He nibbled on her earlobe this time and she smiled holding me tighter "baby wake up, we're late for my flight" I whispered into her ears. She opened her sleepy eyes and rested them on me.

     He smiled "get up okay?" she smiled back and he got up and entered into the bathroom.

     Labib came out minutes later and she wasn't up, she'd pulled the blanket over her head, obviously she was trying to piss him off.

     He grabbed the blanket but she didn't even flinch.
He was left with no option so he shouted into her ear "Sauda! wake up, it's past 8:00 and you haven't made breakfast for me, I'm almost late for my flight, wake up!"

     There was a pause before she jumped up in a jiffy looking at her husband confusingly. He couldn't help as he burst into a series of laughter.

     She looked at the wall clock then back at him, and her facial expression turned sour. She got into the bathroom without sparing him a second glance, from there he knew he was in for it that day, she hated tricks.

    He watched as she walked out of the bathroom coldly, put on her dress and laid down. He concluded then joined her on the bed, she turned her back to him and he felt bad, there was fire on the mountain. he moved closer to her "Sauda" He called sweetly but she refused to answer.

     "Baby"

     "Beauty"

     "Pumpkin"

     "Gorgeous"

     "Sweetlips"

     "Chocolove"

     It was as if he was talking to the walls, she kept mute and refused to answer him. He wrapped his hands around her torso and she pushed him away, ooh God! He hated it whenever she does that, it was like telling him he had no right to touch her.

     He placed his hand on her shoulder again "don't touch me" she said harshly.

     "I'm sorry baby." He apologised.

     "Sorry for yourself" she spat getting up, he got up too.

     "Sauda please I'm really sorry."

     She walked to the door and was about opening it when he pulled her back making her face him "don't think of walking out on me baby." He said calmly.

     "Let go of my arm" she tried getting his hand off her but he didn't budge, he tightened his grip gently.

     "Leave m.....me alone Lab....Labib!!" she burst out crying. He pulled her closer and hugged her tightly, he was happy she didn't try to break the hug.

     "I'm sorry love, I didn't do that to anger you, you left me with no option my love." He kissed the soft skin on her forehead.

     "Sauda" He called softly. She looked at him and her eyes filled up with more tears, he wiped it away with his thumb.

     "Sorry my beloved baby, stop crying if not you'll get a headache okay, I love you, stop crying."
She hugged him back wiping her tear ridden face.

     We moved to the couch and he sat her on his laps "I'm sorry dear." He cupped her face, she nodded her head smiling, and he was happy she was no more angry.

     "You won't do that again" she pouts.

     "Cross my heart and hope to die" and she smiled happily resting her head on his chest.

     He knew her too well, she was trying to pick a fight and he wasn't ready for that so he had to keel apologizing. From there he know he had to keep petting her until he travelled if not he'll  have to suffer the consequences of seeing her precious tears.
