I was still getting used to Sandino and I . It was going to take some time, just like reduction of drinks I would have in my lifetime. I was still working at Indigo. Sandino doesn't mind, he's actually been there on occasion, when he's not to tired, from working as a permanent handyman at the church. He's told Tanya that I am not to have any hard liquor, so I end up drinking sweet tea or coke at the end of the night.
I still have a hard time getting used to being not only married, but loved. I remembered the first time he kissed me. I was utterly confused.
"You don't love yourself the way I love you."
"What?"
" I said that I love you." He loves me? Sandino loves me?
"What? Like a...? Like a friend, like a buddy? Like a pal or something?" I asked unconvinced. He smiled and laughed softly.
"No, April, I don't make love to my buddies and my pals. I'm in love with you. I'm ready to love you... ...but you have to be ready to give it back the right way." He said walking towards me.
"I wanna learn... ...how to love the right way." I answered softly. He smiled and kissed me, I finally let go of all my fears, my problems and replaced them with him.
Living with Sandino is needless to say interesting. He insist on getting up early, which is turning out to be a big thing since I insist on dropping Jennifer and the boys off. Jennifer was extremely happy finding out Sandino was staying here. She had opened up to him more, and so did Byron, who was now a chatterbox. Manny looks up to Sandino ,playing Soccer and now asking him for advice on girls, since he feels I'm not an expert.
We haven't had our honeymoon yet, since we're both working, but Tanya and Ms. Wilma insist on watching the kids in July when Sandino and I go.
On days like this, when I'm up before everyone else, I lie in bed and watch Sandino sleep. He looks so cute. His chest rises and falls, as he's sprawled in the bed, his face content like a baby's; no doubt dreaming of me or something happy. I just sigh and take in his scent: A mix or musk and the body wash he used, the scent faded from last nights heat wave. I trace the outline of his cheek bone, causing him to stir.
"Buenos Dias,mi amor.''
"Buenos Dias.'' I whisper as he pulls me towards him.
"Its too early for you to be up.'' he yawns.
"You sound like me.'' I say chuckling. He smiles before kissing me. I let out a soft moan before we part. Sandino chuckles, running his hands down my back. I blush, before getting the message.
