CXXI

Xander lays on the bed looking at the ceiling with a smile on his face as his wife rest her head on his chest.

do you think we have been gone for too long, they might be looking for us. said Mel as she tries to get up but Xander holds onto her with his hand around her waist.

I think they don't even notice our absent. said Xander

but....

they know where to find us if need be. said Xander still holding her close.

hmm. sighed Mel

what's up with that sigh? asked Xander

I spent the night out and you didn't even come find me. said Mel in a low voice.

I knew where you were. said Xander

how, Mili told you? asked Xander

Amanda did. said Xander

Amanda? Asked Mel wondering when her husband became close with Amanda

is that jealousy I hear in your voice? teased Xander

no. pouted Mel as Xander chuckled
