A promise

"Do you have everything I need?" He asked his assistant when he passed him by in the hallway.

He had just returned from his jog, but he had handed his assistant earlier to prepare everything he had written on the list.

"Yes, Sir." His assistant responded, halting on his steps as he stood before him. "I already put them on the back of your car per your instruction." 

He smiled at his ever-reliable assistant, thanking him before he jogged toward the stairs and up the next floor. He only stopped when he was outside his room.

Slowly, he opened the door and tiptoed his way to the bed. Then, he found his wife, who was still sleeping peacefully with her mouth slightly open.

"Darling." He sweetly called her, waking her up, but she barely moved from her position. He could not help the chuckle that escaped his lips as he watched her adorable face.
