Chapter 14:
It was one of those golden mornings where sun shone just right. Elysia's eyes fluttered open like butterfly wings.
The whispers in the morning
Of lovers sleeping still
She smiled Running a hand over Christian's face. She ran it gently through his hair.
Are rolling like thunder now
As I look in your eyes
I hold on to your body
And feel each move you make
Your voice is warm and tender
A love I could not forsake
Elysia sat up looking out the window at the sun. She smiled,
Cause I'm your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can
Elysia closed her eyes and stood leading herself to her closet. She changed into a blue dress and sat in the chair by her desk.
Lost is how I'm feeling
Lying in your arms
When the world outsides too
Much to take
That all ends when I'm with you
Even though there maybe times
It seems I'm far away
Never wonder where I am
Cause I'm always at your side
Elysia stood once more walking through the candles.
Cause I'm your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can
We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I'm frightened
But I'm ready to learn
Of the power of love
She ran a had across a painting of two angels on the wall. They were in the clouds, lovers holding each other in curious poses, surrounded by feathers.
The sound of your heart
Beating
Made it clear
Suddenly the feeling that
I can't go on
Is light years
Away
She turned to the piano and began playing it in a slow even pace. Her fingers magically flowed with each breath she took.
Cause I'm your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I van
We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I'm frightened
But I'm ready to learn
Of the power of love.
She felt a hand squeeze her shoulder. Elysia kissed Christian's warm hand, before sighing contently. "Good morning," he said, kissing her cheek. Elysia smiled, "Morning." "So," he laughed, "What's our schedule?" "Hmm…," Elysia sighed, "How about breakfast?" "That's a great idea," he said joyously, "I'll cook!" "How about we both cook," Elysia replied. "I suppose it would be a good idea," he said smiling.
Christian was speechless to see Elysia had her own kitchen. She pulled out the supplies and handed Christian what he needed to cook eggs. She smiled, "I'm going to fix pancakes and grits." "Hmm…," Christian sighed, "I'll fix bacon!" so they went along cooking. Christian sat his bacon and eggs on the table while he waited on Elysia to finish. She smiled at him as she sat her grits on the table, "Now that the pancakes are cooled, we can eat."
Sop they ate their breakfast. After they finished, Elysia began washing dishes. Christian came up behind her brushing his hand through her hair. "You want help," he said shifting by her at the sink. ":No," she teased, "I don't need a man to help me, I'm not defenseless." "Oh, really," Christian said. He immediately picked her up and spun her around. "Surrender defenseless woman!," he said in a loud deep voice. "Never!," Elysia shouted back before running her soap covered hands over his hair. He dropped her and she headed back to the sink throwing water and soap suds at him.
"Oh," he said rubbing soap off his face, "Now it's on." "What are you gonna do my big strong sturdy man?" "Give me a hug!" he said. Elysia laughed as Christian crashed into her taking her to the floor. They both sat up laughing hysterically.
