Chapter 8 – Smooth Sailing
It was almost dawn, the sun was peaking over the horizon and Bug couldn't help but stare at the woman sleeping next to him. This was the kind of moment he had imagined for the longest time. He wanted a future filled with a kind, loving woman and children he could be proud to say are his own. After these past few months Bug could see himself with Sandra, having that life that he's always wanted since coming to America.
He had never been this intimate with a woman before, intimate meaning living together and sharing the same bed. He loved the fact that this was a stable relationship and she wouldn't have asked him to live with her if she didn't see the relationship as worthwhile. Bug still could not shake the fact that Lily was extremely upset with the relationship he had developed with Sandra and that she didn't think it was a good idea that he be intimate with her. He still had feelings for Lily; he could not deny this because it has been present since they had began working together at the Medical Examiner's Office.
Bug watched as Sandra started to snuggle into the comforter, he moved closer to hold her. She opened her eyes slightly looking at him with a smile and a soft giggle.
"Good morning Dr. Vijayaraghavensatanaryanamurthy." whispered Sandra.
"Good morning." whispered Bug with a smile.
"What time is it?" asked Sandra.
"It is 5:45am."
"Mmmmm…. What do you suppose we do before that alarm goes off?"
Bug and Sandra took advantage of the moment and expressed their love as the sun rose on another day.
This day however would not go as smoothly as the day began. For it would be a person from Sandra's past that would bring this seemingly perfect situation into total chaos for everyone envolved.
