mystery Maria and I look forward to
discovering all there is to know about you.”
Blushing Maria glanced away and then back.
In an effort to change the conversation she asked, “Shouldn’t we
get some sleep?”
Elon shook his head, “Now is not the time to
sleep. Now is the time to prepare for war and we do that by
praying.”
“What do I pray?” Maria asked feeling
helpless in regards to the coming spiritual struggle that Elon
talked of.
“Don’t worry about what to pray Maria. Just
focus on talking to God. Talk about anything you want to. Just
relax and be personable, but above all be genuine. Don’t forget to
listen and see whether or not God may be saying something back to
you. This time we spend in prayer is very important, because it
brings you nearer in relationship with God. Even Jesus when He
walked on Earth was constantly in prayer to the Father so by His
example we should pray and do likewise when faced with any
challenge.”
Without any further ado Elon’s head dipped
forward and even though he was silent Maria knew he was in deep
conversation with his Creator. Maria looked around and found her
own chair and sat down. For a moment her mind was blank. She didn’t
know what to say.
“ I’m here Maria. Just talk. I want to
hear what you have to say.”
Maria swallowed, as the inward pressing of
thought lit her up inside, “I love how you talk to me!” And that
was how she started her conversation with God that went on for
hours.

Lisa laid on her side of the bed
uncomfortable, but at least not overly painful in her position. She
grimaced and clutched at her belly at the sudden kick to one of her
organs. Now that was painful!
To get her mind off her pain she cleared her
throat and asked, “What do you suppose is up with those two?”
James glanced to her from where he was
undressing and asked, “Why what do you mean?”
Lisa gave him a look and James chuckled,
“You mean them being in the same room and together in general?”
She nodded and he shrugged as he said,
“Maybe Elon got lonely and decided he needed a sidekick to liven
things up a bit.”
Lisa tried to kick him, but he was out of
range.
He slipped into bed behind her and she
asked, “You don’t think there……”
“A mated pair?” James finished for her.
“Yes.” Lisa affirmed.
“So what if they are. They make a rather
stunning pair if you ask me.”
“James! I’m not against them being together
as a couple, but they shouldn’t be doing each other in our house if
there not married!”
James sighed and rose up to rest his chin
over his wife’s shoulder, “First off my hormonally out of her mind
wifie, I don’t think even you would seriously think that Elon would
dishonor our hospitality in such a way. Secondly, I do not think
Elon would ever be intimate with any woman that he was not
intending on being with for life and to that end I think Maria is
absolutely the best candidate for mate status for him, especially
because of how they share the same stretched out existence of never
aging. While, I’m sure, as you so delicately put it that they are
most likely thinking of, ‘doing it’ I am just as sure that they are
not at present in our house. So dear wife at the conclusion of all
this I think it’s time for you to remove your two cents from the
equation and be at peace for the sanctity of our home this
night.”
Lisa sighed into her pillow knowing that he
was right.
She felt him press a kiss to the sensitive
skin behind her ear. Lovingly, but somewhat exasperated sounding
Lisa replied in response to the kiss, “Honey, I’m not up to that
right now.”
“Up to what?” James responded with
innocently.
Lisa smirked, “Not up to what your kisses
generally end up in us doing.”
“Why honey you have such an earthy tinged
impression of me.” James said mockingly into her ear.
Lisa’s hands rubbed out over her stretched
belly, “Trust me darling I have living
