“Want to practice?” I ask with a suggestive tone.
“Baby, I’ll never say no to sex,” he chuckles as he moves over me.
With my husband making love to me, my heart is bursting with love and happiness.
Eli’s been my hero since I was fourteen, and thinking how far we’ve come the past ten years, I can’t wait to see what the rest of our future together holds.
ELI
Fifty years later…
“Baby,” I call out as I walk through the house.
“Outside,” I hear her answer.
Stepping out the backdoor, I find Quinn slowly straightening up after plucking some weeds from the flower bed.
“Remember after we met, you said you had one wish?” I walk closer to my wife, who’s given me the most incredible marrage and children, filling my life with happiness.
“What wish?” she says, frowning up at me.
“You said you had one wish… a kiss when you’re old and wrinkly.”
Her frown instantly darkens. “You telling me I’m all wrinkly, Eli?”
I let out a burst of laughter. “But still as beautiful as the day I married you.”
Her features soften into a playful smile. “I’m just pulling your leg, but don’t stop with the compliments.”
Capturing her eyes, I say, “If we lived a million lives, I’d marry you in each one, Quinn.”
Her eyes begin to shimmer with tears. “I love you, baby.” Pressing my mouth to hers, I give her the one wish she had.
When I pull back, Quinn smiles happily. “Only you can make my old heart swoon.”
“I better be the only one,” I mutter.
“Always, Eli,” she chuckles. “It’s only ever been you.”
The End.
