The book

Narrator

The light from a new day, shining through the open window, wakes up the sleeping couple. Luke pulls Jasmine's naked body tighter to him and she snuggles deeper into his embrace, trying to merge their two bodies into one, as it should be.

They stay in silence and enjoy each other's presence, loving the feel of one another, getting high of each other's smell and touch. There are times like this, that Luke has no work to do, so they stay in bed a longer than usual. They try to cherish the time they have with each other knowing they can't have another life time.

It may seem like it's not enough but, to them it's more than they could ask for. The knowledge of having just this life together makes them love deeper, stronger and fall harder into the pit of endless bliss.

After an hour of silence with Luke running his hand all over her body making her shiver, the heat and pulsing of her mounds becomes exceeding unbearable, she turns around to look at the man who has captured every bit of her soul.

she claims his lips in a passionate and loving soul clenching kiss. however, that seemed not to satisfy her, she wants more. she yearns for every part of his being, for them to come together in the only way that might satisfy her.

Luke senses the need and desperation in her kiss, in the way her hands move all over him.

He senses the heat in the woman he loves dearly, a heat he's determined to quench. Taking the reigns of the kiss, he moves on top of her supporting his weight with his elbows but still managing to make her feel every inch of him.

They come together in the most explosive, toe curling love making of their life.

After which Luke gets up from beside her after a kiss to her hair " I'm going to take a bath" he says, with hearts in his every word and enters the bathroom but naked, giving Jasmine the perfect view of his delicious ass and back. she lies on the bed drowning in ecstasy after their mind-blowing s*x, waiting for Luke to come out so she can clean up. He comes out after a few minutes looking refreshed and fully clothed in a black skinny jeans and a cream colored shirt.

Jasmine raises an eyebrow at him in question, what occasion warrants the dress up only to receive a smile and a kiss on the forehead in return, after he leans in to her, giving her a whiff of his woodsy smell. It makes her wish he would just climb back into bed and continue with what they started.

Luke is not blind to the desire that clouds his woman's eye. In fact, he's has never been blind to the guilt she carries in her heart. He knows that, she thinks he would have had a better life if she wasn't with him.

Every minute he tries to reassure her that his life would have been worthless and without purpose without her. And, he intends to remind her of it till his last breath.

"Go and take a shower. We are going out" he says to her. It's been a while since he took her on a date, he's been too busy with the job he was doing, he feels he's not giving her the attention and love she deserves. However, now that he'll be spending more time with her he intends to rectify that.

Jasmine nods her head, without a word. The trust she has in her Luke, is unfathomable. she gets up from the bed, goes into the bathroom to brush and take a bath. After which, she wears a knee length strapless pink dress Luke got for her a few weeks ago. she towel dries her long brown hair and leaves it to air dry.

A tanned skin, slim, beautiful with turquoise eyes looks back at her in the mirror. She puts on a little bit of mascara and lip gloss before leaving the bathroom to present herself to a very awe struck Luke.

Luke is very much aware of how beautiful and enchanting his female is, but at this moment, words can't describe how bewitching she is.

They leave the house hand in hand when Jasmine is ready, and head towards the park by foot. The park is close to where they stay, so there is no need to waste money on transport.

They move in silence, enjoying the feeling each other provides. Loving every breath they take with the other beside them.

It's very difficult to find love in an era where all everyone thinks of is how to evade death and live forever. However, to find such endless Love is a blessing on its own no matter how rich or poor you are. To Luke and Jasmine, they have found their soulmate in each other. They have the other half of their soul.

They walk through the park watching the few people who find anything close to love, enjoy their day. some are having picnics others are sharing ice creams. upon all this, Jasmine feels she's much more loved than them all.

A love she feels she doesn't deserve but want so badly.

Luke guides her into a pawn shop. "An early birthday present" he says when she looks at him in question and kiss her cheeks. They enter the shop with a greeting to the old shop keeper.

They look at jewelries, books, clothes, shoes but non dress her attention. They move around, twice. But, still nothing, just before they lost hope and left.

Her eyes land on a silver looking box, it calls to her, as if in a trance she walks towards it. The sun causing the roses embedded in it to shine, she runs her fingers on it, shivering a little from how cold it feels to touch.

"What's that?" Luke asks, from behind her

"I don't know. let's find out." she says.

Luke carries it to the shop owner. " Excuse me, What is this?" Jasmine asks the old shop keeper, who is sitting behind a table with his head in a book.

"Oh. That." he says "it's a sketch book, a kid came here last week, asking to sell it"

He slips it open revealing empty pages just waiting for the touch of a pencil to bring life to it.

" I wonder why. it's so beautiful" Jasmine says.

" The kid didn't say much, only that he needed the money." the shop keeper says

"It comes with this" the man adds, then turns around to look for something in his locker only to come back with a pencil and some colors.

Jasmine takes it in her hands and sends a smile Luke's way, her eyes showing him that is what she wants.

He kisses her temple then pays for what Jasmine chose before leaving.
