Whether it’s the numerous text messages of encouragement or praise I receive each and every day, or the breakfasts we share together each morning or the family meals we have each night, Julian’s always found time to make me his number one priority as he said he would.
And what better way to remind me of his love than to take me and our kids to Playa del Amor. It’s a beach literally engulfed by a cave with a large open “roof” that lets sunlight in.
There’s even flora and fauna here and coral reefs which I’m itching to snorkel.
And once we’re all worn out from the beach activities we’ve got a sandbank so I can work on the tan I don’t get from being indoors so much, and some shady areas where we can have our family picnics…just like the one he took me on in the forest the day we first made love.
And twenty years later I can see that look in his eye that tells me there will be lovemaking today. Probably when the kids are facedown snorkeling or some other time. He’s a master of the quickie, just ask the flight attendants on the way down…but then again they wouldn’t know because he’s always discreet and so possessive of me. He doesn’t want anyone else to know about me or our sex life so he always finds a way to give me the excitement, but spare us the possibility of being found out…although the rush often feels like we will.
But he takes care of the logistics just as he’s taken care of everything all these years.
I always thank my lucky stars he’s there for me and my children, freeing us of the many burdens that life throws your way.
These days I wouldn’t even know what those burdens are because he’s been wrapping us up in his big strong “shield” for years keeping us safe and sound and completely stress free.
And that’s what today is all about, at least I think so.
I see him pick up Randy and toss him into the water. What seems stressful for me is the complete opposite for our son.
“Whoooooa!” Randy says just before he lands horizontally in the ocean.
“You’re next!” Julian says to Sandy, but she’s too quick, jumping in herself.
“I guess it’s just me and you now. Just like old times,” he says.
“Just like old times,” I say and he leans in for a sizzling kiss in the sunshine.
“Everything old is new again,” I say. “Just like our love.”
“Every day I wake up next to you is like a new day. Always has been always will be. Every morning I feel the excitement like I’m meeting you again for the first time. It’s like a little bit of me disappears every night and I get to relive that excitement each and every morning when you bring me back to life and I start each day as the luckiest man to ever live.”
“Awww,” I say, hugging him again. “How about we live right now?” I ask.
“I’m in. What’s the plan?”
“No plan, just this!” I say and grab ahold of him tight and pull us both over the side of the boat and into the azure blue waters.
I can do that because I know no matter how choppy life’s seas get or how deep and dark the waters are below me he’s always there to protect me from things I’m not even aware of.
Yeah, he’s possessive and he owns me. Every single part of me including the most important part of all.
My heart and my love.
I feel his arms wrap around me and suddenly I’m lifted to the surface.
“I knew you wouldn’t let me sink to the bottom,” I joke.
He kisses me as we swim.
“Never, because you’re mine forever. Mine and only mine. You belong to me and not the sea.”
“She’s mine!” he yells and it echoes off the walls of the surrounding beach and out through the roof to the heavens.
“Mine and only mine!”
“Fooooorever!”
