Proving his trust (Teneile)

[Kazuma]

It was Friday roughly 2 pm when Kazuma finally got home from school. He checked the mail box grabbing a bundle of thing he did not even feel like paying attention to just yet, not till he finally got inside their beach front home and relaxed for a moment until his loving Teneile shortly followed. It had been a long week but the week end was here which meant fun with his beloved Teneile and their dogs Rocky and Bella who were more then happy to greet him as he walked into their home. Kazuma bent down and petted them both for a moment, they were the best dogs in the world or atleast they tended to be spoiled like they were.

Kazuma walked his way into the kitchen and grabbed a pre made protein shake out of the fridge setting it on the counter along with the mail for a moment as he reached into a draw in the fridge and took out a few slices of low fat ham and feed it to Bella and Rocky who had followed him into the kitchen. He then picked up the shake he had set aside and the mail and sat down at the table sipping at the shake before setting it down and picking up several envelopes including one large manila envelope. He began to flip through and sort, some were for him others for his wife along with the normal bills. And then his eye nearly jumped from its socket as he picked up the large brown manila envelope and saw who had sent it.

Kazuma had been trying to make up for accusing his wife of cheating on him, it was a stupid mistake he had no right making. Still though he had thought about what she had said, he had to prove he trusted her the way she trusted him at his competitions and conventions that took him away from home. He opened the Envelope which was thick with an information booklet and a letter which his eye began to read over. A smile could be seen on his face and he raised his hands up in the air. “Yes” he shouted happily.

After putting the booklet and letter back into its envelope he went into their room and placed it in his sock draw for now, it was a surprise he would give to her later after he buttered her up a little. He grabbed his cell phone and made a call for reservations for dinner at a nice shore side restaurant they had not been to yet though had planned on hitting soon after reading its review in the paper.

He looked at the clock as soon as he locked in their diner reservations, he had about five minutes till she got home and decided to go back to the kitchen and finish his shake while also trying to wipe the smile off his face.

[Teneile]

Teneile yawned at the stop light. She was almost home. She loved this time of day, there was just something about going home that made everything worth while. She had a family there. A wonderful husband, and two loving hyper dogs. She drove the mustang to and from school because in the mornings she left before Kazuma so she could go practice at the studio in the city that she was dancing for. She took a right and headed down the street that bordered the beach heading to the house she and Kazuma had bought for themselves moving out of the house that made Teneile jumpy and nervous because of what happened there. She pulled up to the pale yellow house with the white trim and smiled seeing Kazuma's chopper in the garage. She pulled the car in beside it and turned it off. Getting out she grabbed her book bag and headed to the driveway to check the mail.

Nothing there, which meant Kazuma had gotten it they always had something be it junk mail or not. She headed up the front steps she could hear Bella and Rocky running to the front door to await her to open it. Walking down the screened in porch she opened the door and leaned down, giving her two dogs the love they deserved and always demanded first. Once they were satisified enough to let her step through the door she shut it and hung her bag on the rack close by seeing Kazuma sitting at the table smiling at her.

"Hey baby." she said walking over to him her heels echoing on the hard wood floors as she leaned down and kissed him softly and gently on the lips. "I'm going to go take a shower, today was really a hard work out." she kissed the underside of his jaw just under his ear.

"How was your day?" she asked heading into the kitchen she grabbed a bottle of water and leaned against the bar to drink it watching him with her bright blue eyes. She had been working hard but she was eating more again, and trying to stay healthy. They were seeing someone, about their daughters death and it was realy beginning to help she could see it in him and feel it in her. She pulled out a rice cake from one of the cabinets and ate it swallowing it down with her water since they tended to be really dry. But it would make kazuma happy if she ate something and she was a little hungry.

"Mine was good. Just, busy." she said with a shrug. "But the ballet is over, so that's the best part. We'll start another one in a month or so, the writers are already casting parts." she said sitting in his lap for a minute while she finished her water just to feel his arms around her for a few moments. She finished her bottle and kissed his neck.

"Be back in a few, then we can cook dinner or something." she said as she rose and headed towards the bathroom.

[Kazuma]

He heard her coming, the dogs were always a dead give away as they ran to the door and claimed it for themselves as soon as they heard the engine of the car pull up. He could not get over how they acted like this, kazuma had even once pulled Rocky and Bella away from the door once in the past only to find out they fought hard and whined like babies until he let them go back to the door. When she got in Kazuma kept his face some what composed though he could not fight off a large smile when he saw her, she always had such an effect on him. Every day since he had meet her he had smiled something that never used to happen before he met her.

They had their normal greetings and he smiled as he saw her pull out a rice cake to munch on. It was good to see her eat on her own, the sessions and their own dedication had really been paying off to get them both better again. “It was alright…you know, just doing my best not to rip some ones head off and missing you” he said with a smile ”How was yours” he asked her wondering just how crazy her day was. Life was no piece of cake for either of them but they managed with their scheduals and always made sure to have time for each other. It was the one thing besides their love that was solid in their marriage and that was their dedication to each other which was truly amazing.

She told him how her day was and sat in his lap causing his arms to instinctively find there way around her tiny toned waist. He held her for a moment while she relaxed . But soon got up to head toward the bath room. He leapt from his seat and grabbed her his arms encircling her waist stopping her just before she got into the bathroom. He kissed softly at her neck for a moment.

“Take your time and enjoy your shower baby” he paused. He wished he could help her enjoy that shower a bit more and help to reach all those ‘hard to reach’ places that he had a knack for finding. But if he let himself get drawn into that there was no leaving this house tonight, he would want to ravage her well into the night and then hold her as they feel asleep…he could not let that happen just yet. “”While your in there think of what you want to wear to that restaurant we talked about…the reservations at 6 so you have some time to relax” he said as he let her go finally and took a step back letting her take her shower in peace .

[Teneile]

Teneile felt his arms go around her softly and she stopped right in the doorway of the large bathroom they shared. She leaned against him as he told her to enjoy her shower and to think while she was in there what she wanted to wear to the restaurant tonight. A wide smile broke across her face as he told her they had gotten the reservations at the restaruant she wanted. She brightened and looked up at him. She kissed his jaw softly and grinned. she had been asking to go to that restaurant for a while every time she drove past it she reminded Kazuma about it knowing eventually he would get tired of hearing about it and take her so she would shut up. It always worked, it was one of those things that women knew and would do to get their way.

when he let go she entered the bathroom and started the shower to get hot. She went into the closet letting the water begin heating up. She wandered through all her dresses and clothing, this was her closet and hers alone, Kazuma had a small one in the bed room but her clothing because she had so many took up the huge walk in closet. she pulled out the dress she decided on, having never worn it yet except at the store she hung it on the door knob and picked out the jewelry and shoes that would go with it. She then undressed throwing her clothing in the hamper and stepping into the shower. She took her time, letting the hot water relax her muscles they had one of those nice spa heads in the shower that massaged with the water allowing you to adjust it. She set it to her personal setting and let it pound the tension from her shoulders. She washed her hair and quickly reached out pressing the button on the hot curlers on the cabinet. Waiting in the shower another ten minutes waiting for everything she had plugged in to heat up before she turned off the water and toweled herself off gently getting out of the shower. She towel dried her long hair wrapping the towel around her body before she brushed out her hair and caringly curled it in the rollers.

While her hair was drying and curling she went to the chair she had placed in the bathroom for when you needed to sit down. Gently she pulled the pantyhose up on her legs making them accent her pale legs. She grabbed her dress and stepped into the fine fabric. Zipping up the back of the dress it hugged her gently where it was supposed to. It was trendy but still nice enough for this restaurant. She began to do what little make up she ws going to. A little shimmer on the eyes, and a bit of gloss on her lips. Taking the curlers out of her hair, her hair fell down in those beautiful waves that Kazuma adored. She pulled back the hair from her face pulling it up a little bit and securing it in decorative chop sticks. her hair now cascaded down her back and around her shoulders in beautiful layered waves. She put two diamonds in each ear before slipping into her shoes.

It was then she stepped out in her dress all dolled up and ready to go securing a bracelet to her wrist as she did so. Unaware kazuma was watching her from the kitchen. She tended to have an interesting effect on him when she dressed up nicely.

[Kazuma]

It had taken a while but it had given him time to straighten up and put on something other then the jeans and tee shirt he had on before. He found a nice pair of black pants and of course went for a nice black shirt that would cling to his body tightly. He knew Teneile like him and his muscles that made everything seem a bit small on him. He also took the letter he had received earlier and stuck it in the jacket it he would wear out just so he did not have to worry about her not seeing it yet.

When everything was done he went back into the kitchen and pulled out the paper he had only glance at this morning his head only turning when he heard the bathroom door opening again and his eyes lit up realizing she was done and he could see her now. He turned in her direction an he knew his eyes sparkled as they looked at her. She always managed to look amazing no matter what the occasion she managed to put other girl to shame without so much as a thought. He could never get over how he got stuck with such a beauty, he had hit the jack pot with her in some many ways he could not count them all but the only thing that really mattered to him was that she was all his and nothing could change that.

He got up and walked closer to her “My god…I’m the luckiest bastard in the world” he said to her softly before leaning down and capturing her lips for a soft kiss letting it break softly as holding it for a moment. He took her left hand within his own and his thumb brushed over her wedding ring , he loved the proof that this was all real and that she was his forever. “Your lucky I know we have to eat…cause right now every part of me is telling me to lift you up and take you to bed with me” he chuckled lightly

[Teneile]

My god…I’m the luckiest bastard in the world

Teneile looked up unaware Kazuma was watching her nor was he so close. A soft blush crossed her pale features and she chuckled. She loved those kinds of reactions from him, because it always made her feel not only beautiful but wanted. His arms came around her and pulled her into a soft kiss which she returned hoping he didn't mind the taste of peppermint lipgloss. But he would just have to deal with it. Her arms went around him and she pulled herself closer to him as his fingers tugged through her wavy hair. Gently the kiss broke and a wide smile crossed her face looking up into his blue eyes. His hand found her left one and she felt his thumb run across her wedding rings, that had not left her hand since that night in France when they had been married. She smiled softly at him.

"I love you Kazuma." she said gently stepping further into his arms and just hugging him softly. Her hand gently ran down the muscles she could see and feel underneath his shirt. She loved his going out shirt. It was tight, and it showed off what she got to see every day, but there was just something about a man in a tight shirt and blue jeans. Though Kazuma wasn't in blue jeans, she had seen the look many times enough to know it got her blood boiling. His arms settled around her as they just shared a soft moment together. No one probably could have guessed that when they had met they would hit it off so well, or that she would turn the terror or Hircine into such a mush ball. But she loved what he was when he was with her. Soft and gentle, but had a temper they both knew it though she had only been on the recieving end once, and that was recently.

"Ready?" she asked softly pulling herself back from him and kissing his cheek gently. She smiled gently. She loved going out on dates with him, it made the relationship seem so complete still, so many couples settled down and didn't go anywhere but not them, they were always trying new things and going places. She loved that part of them.

[Kazuma]

She asked if he was ready before kissing his cheek softly making him smile brightly. This night had a purpose and he pray that his little dancer would like the gift he had for her. “Yeah sure, let me just get my keys and I’ll be right with you” He said leaning down to kiss her own cheek before turning and heading into their bed room to grab the keys he had left there as well as a light jacket which main purpose was to conceal the letter he had for her. Putting the jacket on and grabbing his keys he looked at himself quickly in the mirror, he never saw himself as the handsome type but he knew he must be doing something right if he had gotten his beautiful angel to marry him.

He left the room and found her again, both Rocky and Bella were circled around her looking up with their tails wagging happily. “Sorry guys, I’m gunna have to steal mommy away for a while” he said with a light chuckle in his voice as he bent down and petted their heads quickly. Upon standing looked at his glorious Teniele who was everything good in his life embodied in the form of a luscious yet elegant woman. He took her hand in his own softly “Come on…lets go out” he said with his large smile plastered on his face.

He lead her through the front door and through the screened in porch, down the steps of their beautiful beach adjacent home. He loved their house and what they had done with it, it was spacious yet comfortable and what mattered most to him of course was the fact that Teneile felt safe here unlike his old home which had been tarnished with horrible memories.

He lead her to the car, and just as he had done on their very first date opened her side first letting her get in before he found his way to the drivers sideand getting in himself. He looked to his side to capture her image one more time within his eye, there was never a time she did not look fantastic in some way to him, minus her hospital stays. But even the times she was sick and pale in the face she still managed to look adorable to him, and now that she was all done up to go out his thoughts lacked the proper words to describe how beautiful she looked

[Teneile]

Teneile checked herself in the mirror making sure that everything was in place. She wanted to look perfect for her date, or as perfect as she could at any rate. He came back in the room a jacket covering some of his body, he liked to wear blazers when they went out. Though they tended to hide things in them recently. But she wasn't expecting anything, it wasn't their anniversary nor was it any kind of other occasion. He took her hand gently as he led her from the house the dogs whinning in disappointment that they couldn't go too. They walked out on te porch the gentle breeze from the beach rushing up against them. She sighed softly letting the breeze play with her hair as they stepped out onto the staircase that led them to the lower floor where the car was. He opened the door for her and she stepped in the car placing her hands gently in her lap

Once he was in he looked over at her with a grin and she chuckled. She knew he couldn't see out of one of his eyes, but she had never told him that. He had never even told her. Honestly, she had figured it out easily. The way when he drove he turned his whole head to her to look at her, the way that one eye followed but lagged a little behind the other one, the way his depth perception was off at times, or the way he forgot to open the eye lid in the mornings. Still, it made him no less desireable and she never asked how it happened because he had never told her so it must not be a good story. As soon as the car was on the main street and his hand was free of the gear shift it was on her leg just like it always was, her fingers stroking the back of it. It had started on their first date, and had never stopped, it was one of those things that just came natural now.

It wasn't far to the restaruant about a fifteen minute drive where they talked about school and what had happened to each other over the day. She smiled as they both seemed to think coming home was the highlight of the day regardless. She told him about her new ballet, the one they were writing she was supposed to be lead again, so her mishap hadn't hurt her career any, and she was much stronger now. The doctor had even given her a note saying she was in good enough health to dance. They pulled up to the restaurant aptly named Seaside Pier. It was a beautiful restaruant that was high up on a pier that jutted out into the ocean so on three of four sides there was beautiful ocean view on the plate glass windows.

Together they got out of the car and his hand consumed her own as soon as she was in reach. Up the long slowly inclining pier they went til the bright glass door was opened for them and they stepped into a dimly lit, but well decorated place. Soft blue wall echoed the sky and the ocean's colors. Ocean and boating like memorbelia covered the walls, life perservers, ropes, fishing hooks and the like. It was a nice place over all. Distressed tables sat ready for those that would like a meal. The hostess was given their name by kazuma and she led them to a fine table in the back of the restaurant gazing openly at the ocean beyond.

"It's so beautiful here." she said softly looking out the window hearing Kazuma sit next to instead of across from her, since that's how they always liked it. A kiss to her neck brought her back to reality and she smiled. "It's perfect." she said opening her menu and beginning to decide what she wanted to eat.

[Kazuma]

He sat next to her as she looked out the window taking in the view of the ocean that was given to them. There was something about the ocean and the beach that they both seemed to have a passion for, something about the smell of the ocean air that brought a calm into their lives. Kazuma looked over at her as she seemed mezmorized by the view and smiled before leaning in and kissing her neck softly bring her back to him. And then she opened up her menu to see what she was going to have.

Kazuma opened his own menu and began skimming through the items listed before him. His mind though was not fully focused on the food though, it was more on her and what he had for her. It was so hard to just not blurt out anything, it felt like the night he proposed to her all over again, anxious and a bit nervous wether she would like his gift or not. He wanted to do anything he could to please her and have her love life the way she had made him love it, she made the world spin for him and with out her there would be no existing for him anymore.

He got closer to her and one of his arms came around her curling around her waist, it was a habit he could never break while out with her and it never seemed like she had ever wanted him to break it. “So is there anything jumping out to you…it all sounds pretty good to me” Kazuma asked breaking the small silence between them. His head leaned close to her his lips finding themselves near her ear “Although the only thing I want to have right now is you” Kazima said with a small smile on his lips. He was always horny when it came to his little Ballerina, no other could ever make him like this. Even when he had had girlfriends in the past he could not remember ever having this lust for them that he always seemed to have for her.

[Teneile]

Teneile felt Kazuma's thick strong arm wrap around her small body. She smiled softly and looked over at him out of the corner of her eyes. He was there smiling as always and his eyes reading over the menu that was laying in front of them. She leaned against him softy and felt his large thumb stroking her waist softly. She looked down at the menu trying to decide what looked good today, surely there was something that would be tasty. She didn't mind seafood but it wasn't her favorite so she was trying to find something that she could see herself eating all of, or most of. She bit her lower lip going through the menu looking through all the pages before she made her decision on what she was going to have. Right before, Kazuma asked her what she wanted. He leaned in and told her that he wanted her making her chuckle.

"You can have me later." she whispered back looking up into his eyes. She smiled at him and gently leaned in giving him a gentle soft kiss, it lasted no more than a few seconds before she pulled back and looked down at her menu again.

"I know this is a seafood restaruant but this Chicken pasta and salad really sound good tonight." she said honesty leaning her head on his shoulder softly. She nuzzled into him gently and sighed. the waiter came and took their orders quickly. He left to go place them in the kitchen and she looked up at Kazuma.

"So, going to tell me what this is all about? Or you pushing this off as just a night on the town?" she asked cocking her right eyebrow softly.

[Kazuma]

He smiled chuckling lightly at her response. He loved how she never denied him the more carnal pleasures of their relationship. It was so great to have a wife that enjoyed the physical pleasures of their relationship as much as the emotion pleasures their bond had brought them. He did not know how he would take her later, weither it would be soft or caring or more heated and passion driven but what he did know was that he could not be so addicted to having sex with her if it were not for the love he had for her which ran deeply into every fiber of his being. He let out a small sigh and held her closer as she told him she would have the chicken pasta salad and then smiled as he felt her head lean on his shoulder softly nuzzling into him in a way only she could.

It was then the waiter came and Kazuma decided to try a bit of the fish that was on the menu, he knew Teneile was not a huge fan of fish and would not eat a full plate herself but atleast this way she could try a bit and get to taste what the restaurant specialized in. When the waiter left Kazuma was surprised what she asked him and chuckled nearly immediately, his wife, his beloved Ballerina was able to read him like a book and the way her red brow cocked at him just made the soft features on her face that much more adorable and cute to him.

“Wow…I had no idea I was getting that predictable” Kazuma said lightly. “No matter I will work harder on keeping you on your toes from now on” his hand reached into his jacket his fingers gripping at the letter as he began to take it out from is confines. “I was going to wait till after desert but maybe the suspense would kill us both” He took out and folded letter and gave it to his Teneile. “I know its not a ring or anything like my other surprises, but believe me a lot of effort went into it…these people don’t take just anyone” kazuma smiled.

He leaned to the side a little so she could unfold and read the letter and he could see the reaction on her face which he was more then sure would be priceless.

[Teneile]

Teneile chuckled.

"Aww baby, I've known you for a long time now, I can see you almost bouncing in excitement." she chuckled.

He reached into his jacket and she leaned away from him taking a sip of her ice water that the waiter had left them with. A long sip of the cool water before she sat it back down on the wooden table and looked over at him. He pulled out a large envelope from his coat and her brow rose higher. An envelope? She was even more curious now. He tld her that it wasn't a ring or jewelry like it normally was but he hoped that she liked it anyway because it was important to him, and very hard to get into. She nodded curiously. Just what was it. She took the envelope and being a little slow she didn't even read the front to see where it was from. Her finger slid in the back and opened up the already opened envelope.

Pulling out a thick piece of parchment paper she unfolded it and looked at the name. For a moment she froze. The Rochester Academy of Arts. That was one of the top schools in the country, no the world for dancing. What did he mean, it was hard to get into, surely he hadn't gotten her in, they would have to move again. Her hands were shaking it was hard to read but slowly her eyes scanned down the page.

Tears pitter pattered on the paper. He had.. signed her up to go to Hollywood. To the most prestigious dance school. Alone, for two weeks of hard work, but the chance to be seen, to be heard, to be picked among the others. She looked up at him her eyes filled with the love she felt for him and the shock that he had done this without her knowing, she was curious what tape he had sent them. What was it that he had sent that had gotten them to pick her. She bit her lower lip for a moment more tears cascading from her blue eyes.

"Oh Kazuma." she finally whispered. "If only we werent' in public." she chuckled softly. She smiled softly and hugged him suddenly a flash of red in her wake to show she moved. She sighed softly kissing his neck slowly moving to his lips where she pulled him into a deep and wonderfully passionate kiss her hand cupping his cheek gently.

"I love you, thank you so much, you didn't have to do this, I promise I won't waste the opportunity." she said gently folding the letter back up with great care.

[Kazuma]

He saw he hands shake as she read it, he knew she had heard of the school before he had a feeling every one who wanted to be a dancer did. Kazuma had been looking up links one night and had come across the name and the website luckily and immediately knew what he had to do for her. He had spent the entire week looking over all the shows she had been in and had edited together some of what he felt were her greatest scenes and of course he had help from the schools dancing club to make sure every clip he put in showed her doing a flawless performance. He did this for her because he loved her and knew dancing was her dream right next to the family they would one day have.

He could see the look in her eyes as tears escaped them nothing put loved captured in each wide watery eye. His heart stopped for a moment waiting for her to say something, he thought she would love it but the suspense made him wonder. But luckily after she finally whispered his name she said something which he knew meant she was the happiest wife in the world at the moment and was feeling the need to make her husbad just as happy. She lunged at him hugging him tightly his arms finding their was around her tiny frame easily as he felt her kiss at his neck and move up go eventually find his lips.

When the kiss broke he smiled at her words letting her fold the letter up and then took her left hand in both his giant hands “I did have to do it…..your a great dancer and I know this will help you in your career” he let out a soft happy sigh “Any way I just sent the application, DVD and paper work….it was your talent that got you in” he said with a light little chuckle. He knew Teneile would have never sent in such a thing herself, she feared rejection way to much to put herself out there like that or so that was what he had come to known.

“Its going to be hell not seeing you till the big performance though baby….you have to promise me you’ll focus on your classes there and not me” Kazuma said reluctantly. Truth was he hated the idea of her being so far away from home without his eyes being able to watch her. He could have made it so that he would be there, Kazuma some times got offers to do small bits and stuff along those lines but he had to prove to her and himself that he trusted her unconditionally and for that he had to be home were he would not be able to spy on her. He was an over protective jealous Husband, something he had to get over or else if would tare them apart like it nearly did recently.

[Teneile]

Teneile was still in shock. She couldn't beleive it. There was nothing that could be better than this. She was estatic. Her fingers kept running over the envelope it was almost too good to be true. He told her that he wanted her to go, and concentrate on her dancing. Not to worry about him or what he was doing, or how much she missed him. suddenly, it hit her. He wasn't going with her, she was going alone. She bit her lower lip, they would be seperated for two weeks. They hadn't been seperated for more than two days since they had met, she hated thinking about him all alone, and her missing him desperatly so far away unable to touch him or curl up in his arms at night. Unable to be there, and feel his arms around her, feel his gentle kisses on her lips, or his hand through her hair. Hear his voice as the first thing in the morning or the last thing she heard when she fell asleep. He wouldn't be there to stroke her hair til she fell asleep.

"You.. aren't going with me?" she asked. though she already knew the answer to that question. How would she survive two weeks without him? Without his voice, his smile, his touch. When he shook his head she nodded softly looking back at the letter softly and then up at him. He was letting her go somewhere all alone, he wouldn't be keeing an eye on her, or making sure she was okay. He was trusting her. It was then she understood, he was trusting her, showing her that he was.

"Oh Kazuma." she whispered softly. She leaned in and hugged him softly. If only she could tell him how much love she felt for him right now. Sending her all the way to Hollywood without him, sending her to a school she could only have dreamed about. She nuzzled deeply into his neck stroking his back gently, she loved him so much.

"I love you so much, I wish I could explain it to you." she whsipered softly. "I wish I could describe to you how much I love you." she whispered pulling back tears still falling from her beautiful love filled eyes.

"Oh Kazuma. I.. thank you so much, this opportunity is something I will never forget, and something I cannot thank you enough for." she whispered gently. She kissed him then long and deep, but soft and loving, her thumb stroking his cheek while her hand cupped it. she kissed him a long time, it turned more passionate but always loving their hands cupping each other. Their arms holding each other close until the waiter cleared his throat and it broke. "I love you." she whispered ignoring the waiter. She slid the envelope back into his coat pocket gently patting it. The waiter sat down their dishes and left with a sigh.

[Kazuma]

He shook his head light and saw her nodd after she ask him a question she already knew the answer to. This was hard on him so very hard to let her go. What awaited him was two weeks without her smile or her voice, no nights of her body curled into his as the slept. He was going two weeks without his reason to get up in the morning two weeks without his sun. God he would miss her he knew it already, but he trusted her to be safe and to take care of herself, he trusted her with a school full of male partners who he knew would all be handsome and shared the same passion for her art that she had. It was a disturbing and uneasing thought but he trusted her and loved her and knew their relationship would be stronger for it and that her career in her passion would benefit greatly from this.

“You don’t have to explain it to me, or describe it….as long as you wear those rings on your finger I know how much you love me….because you agreed to be mine forever” Kazuma said softly a small lump wanting to form in his throat. Seeing the tears still forming from her eyes was not making this any easier on him but he managed to keep himself from getting to emotional. He was happy for her, and to know that this chane meant so much to her really made this moment mean the world to him.

It was then she kissed him long and deep filled with so much of the love they shared for one another. He could feel her thumb running over his cheek as she kissed him neither of them breaking this kiss that was becoming more passionate with the passing moments they held it for..

When it broke her smiled “I love you more” he said to her softly the waiter being completely ignored at this point. It could not be helped after all they were so deeply in love with one another that at times it only seem like they were the only people living in this world.. When the waiter left he held Teneile tightly so happy for her and yet sad about this separation. Kazuma looked at the food then back at her his face bright with his smile. “Hmmm lets eat…I’m sure you have to be hungry” Kazuma said to his beloved Teneile

[Teneile]

"I'll call you every day, every chance I have." she whispered. She couldn't imagine leaving him but she knew that she would. This was a opportunity she could never have gotten herself, something she couldn't help but be excited about, though leaving Kazuma, was putting a slight damper on it.

The food scents reached them as he told her he loved her more. She chuckled. They both knew that it wasn't true, they loved each other deeply. She loved him, he was her sun, who she gravitated to, who she went around, he was the center of her universe. Gently she leaned in and kissed behind his ear softly moving his hair out of the way to do so, her long nails working through the locks. He mentioned something about eating. How could she eat? She was about to lose the love of her life, she would be leaving soon, for two weeks without her reason for living, without the man she loved dearly. She nodded softly and looked into his eyes moving in again she kissed his lips softly, she wanted to be with him, suddenly she wished they were alone. She could sit in his lap, cuddle with him all night til tomorrow when they would have to drive to Hollywood after packing so she could get there in time, so she could start her two week school.

She turned and placed her napkin iin her lap smoothing it out gently and picked up her fork and knife spending a few minutes to cut up her chicken so she could just eat. And she was hungry, usually at dinner she was hungry, it was the morning and afternoon that she tended to skip even if accidentally. But she was getting better at making sure she got to eat something that way she was never going to be without. Setting her knife down she began to eat slowly with her left hand because she wanted her right to be in Kazuma's lap. She needed to touch him right now, she needed as much of him as she could get. She even leaned against him while she ate, gently reaching up to feed him a bite of her chicken, they always shared their meals with each other when they went out so they could taste each other's dinners.

The dinner didn't take very long. She looked up at him when most of her dinner was gone just a little bit left. She never could finish a whole out to eat meal. She looked over at him her eyes were soft and gentle.

"I want to do something special." she said softly. "Before I go."

When the waiter came and they paid she stood up with her husband and took the keys from his pocket, she was going to drive. She took his arm and walked slowly leaning against him, she wasn't talking as much as she normally did, she just needed to be with him. Slowly they made their way to the car and slid into it, she turned it on and put it in gear backing up she knew exactly what she wanted to do. It was sunset, growing darker by the moment, the perfect time for what she wanted to do. It didn't take long. About ten minutes of driving down the beach they stopped and Teneile turned off the car slipping off her shoes she reached across kazuma and unrolled the window and then unrolled her own before turning on the radio loudly to a nice soft music station and then got out of the car motioning for him to follow.

When he got out of the car she took his hand and brought him to the front of the car putting herself in his arms. She lay her head on his broad shoulder taking his shoulders in her arms. They began to dance in the sunset on the beach, the ocean behind them as they twirled and danced slowly. Her eyes closed, a nice romantic moment for the two of them.

[Kazuma]

As they drove, Kazuma could not help but wonder what this special thing was. Every second the two shared together was special for him and he could not imagine what she had planned especially because she drove. He knew it was important if she was driving them, normally he had a tendency to be the wheel man though that was not to saw she did not get her fair share behind the wheel. He loved his mustang it meant a lot to him but he always trusted her with it, the only thing he never let her drive was his chooper and that was because he knew how dangerous they were not because he didn’t trust her.

It took roughly 10 minutes until they got to the beach of all places. The sun was just setting and on the west coast there was nothing as beautiful as watching the orange sun sink down into the ocean. The car turned off and removed her shoes and then his eyes brows rosed as she began to lower the windows. He had no idea what the heel she had planned but he knew what wasn’t going to happen. He knew while they had enjoyed fun in the car before but it was way to light outside to do that just yet so out in the open.

As she turned on and then played with the radio he could not help but love the setting they were in, it was so romantic outside and the music that was playing was just right. He slipped out of his shoes and socks as well getting out of the car as she motioned him to follow her. She was carzy if she thought she really had to motion for him to follow her, he would follow her. He was not letting her out of his sit until they were forced to part.

They got outside his toes wiggling in the sand for a second until she brought him to the front of the car and leapt into his arms and they began to dance slowly to the music playing on the cars radio. His heart felt like his was breaking as he danced with her, everything in him felt like that first time they had made love, the world seemed lighter and the air seemed crisper, there was a warmth inside him and everything had a sense of clarity. But his heart hurt so much knowing that this would be their last dance for a fortnight.

They danced for nearly ten minutes to this nice slow songs which played on the stereo until he could not take it and more and his feet stopped moving in there gentle sway and his head leaned down into her exposed shoulder. Several warm tears escaped for his eyes and fell onto her skin his breathing was heavier. “I love you so much baby…..I didn’t think…it would hurt so much, the thought of not being able to do this again for 14 long days” he paused for a moment and took a deep breath the ocean air filling his lungs. His voiced changed to a happier tone as he liftd his head up and his blue eyes looked into her sparkling blue ones which he loved so much. “have I told you recently you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me?” he asked her with a smile

[Teneile]

This was pure bliss. Dancing in his arms like this. A beautiful romantic scene like never before. They danced in the sand, it moving between their toes, the wind playing with their clothing and hair while they hugged and danced with each other. She sighed softly her eyes and his staring longingly into each others eyes. She knew this would not be the last embrace of the night, but when they got home she would have to pack and then they would probably make love one more time before they got sleep and headed to Hollywood in the morning. She felt like she was leaving him for much longer than two weeks, and even then fourteen days seemed so very long. she could barely imagine a day or two but two weeks seemed just short of eternity.

It wasn't that long, but long enough before suddenly, he stopped dancing. His head fell to her shoulder and she could feel the hot tears flowing down to her skin. Teneile froze. Never in her time with Kazuma had she ever seen him cry. He had always been nothing but a pillar. Always as strong as anyone in her life, always there for her to stand on or against, to be there when she needed him. and now he was breaking her heart. She could hear his strangled cry, his phrase. Telling her that he hadn't known it would be so hard to let her go for two weeks. Tears trickled down her own cheeks, and like idiots for a few minutes they stood there holding onto each other crying softly on one another's shoulders. It seemed stupid. It really was only two weeks, but in the world of intense connection of Teneile and Kazuma it seemed like too long.

"I love you too baby. I will be back in your arms the second I can be. You'll come for my show and you know that the second I know you're there I'll be there, iin your arms." she said softly pulling back and stroking his cheek.

"Kazuma. You are my sun, my life, my love. I will die without you. But I'm going to call you every day, I'm going to call you.. more than once, I'm probably going to rack up huge phone bills, but I don't care, to hear your voice would be like seeing the moon." she whispered. "A little light, enough to get buy til the sun comes around again."

"An eclipse my love, that's all nothing more. We can survive and when the sun is back out, it'll be brighter than before." she reminded him kissing his lips passionatly feeling him crushing him to his chest. her arms wrapped around him tightly. They kissed as if they had never made love, as if they had not been together long. She couldn't help it, she loved him so much and she would miss her sun while she was gone. Their breathing quickened their hands finding purchase all over each other's bodies. She broke it with a moan.

"We should go home." she whispered. "I need to make love to you Kazuma." she whispered.

[Kazuma]

He had not wanted to make tears stain her beautiful face, he had done this to make her happy not to make this hard on both of them. It was true both of them were far to attached to one another and though it had never been spoken aloud both seemed to know that if anything ever happened to the other thast the other would jump into the after life right after the other, neither of them wanted to be separated from the other not even by the laws of life and death, their love ran so deeply that any type of separation for them that lasted more then a few hours was devastating to them both. “I know” he said as she stroked his cheek a bit ashamed at his own self. He had never been this attached to any one else in his entire life time and so it was a bit odd to feel like some one was ripping his heart out at this very sweet and tender moment between the two of them.

Her words touched him so deeply, she had always had a way with words and had a way of making every thing sound so beautiful in her soft angelic voice. And before he could say a thing her lips were pressed against his own and the both of them feel into a passionate kiss. His arm wrapping around her tightly holding her to him as tightly as he could without hurting his wife who he loved and adored. The kiss was so deep Kazuma writhed in every moment of it enjoying it as much as he could while still staying in this soft and tender state the both of them were stuck in.

When the kiss broke he could tell by the way their hand had been moving over one another what the both of them needed at this moment and Teneile came right out with a whisper telling him what she needed at this moment. He needed it just as badly, to feel her and to hold her, to feel their hearts breathing together through their chests which would be pushed together soon enough. “I need you to…more now then ever” he whispered to her.

The both of them seemed to run right for the car, their house not to far away, it would be a matter of minutes before they reached home. Tenile Jumped in the drivers seat and Kazuma got into the passangers side, neither of them bothered to even try and put their shoes back on. His hand rested in her lap not sure if she need both to drive he just let his large hand rest their as they drove to their home which seemed to just be a stones throw away. But then again right now Kazuma could not tell how much time was passing or how quickly they were moving. His mind was only focused on her and how he needed to feel her body pressed against his as they would make love once they got home.

When they got home and Teniele pulled into the garage Kazuma was smileing especially as they got out of the car. He loved her with every fiber that was him and he could not help but smile when he was around her. She brightened all his days and he knew he was going to miss that light she shed into his world day after day with her love.

[Teneile]

Teneile and Kazuma headed home, it wasn't hard to do. They weren't far, they were already on the beach home was no more than fifteen minutes or less away. They drove quickly but quietly and she could feel his hand on her leg stroking it softly. Because they were close she was able to get there in not time, but sadly she needed both hands to drive a stick shift properly. She drove quickly but not too fast to get a ticket or anything the last thing she needed was her father finding her address again, and finding her. coming after her and ruining another day. So when they pulled up into the garage she parked the car and turned it off handing the keys back to Kazuma as he smiled at her softly. She did the same to him and they both got out of the car together. He suddenly picked her up and she laughed as he bounded the stairs two at a time making the poor wooden case creak under his weight.

The door flew open and they went right past the dogs that were vying for their attention. He rushed past them all and into their bedroom where he closed to door so they wouldn't have to worry about the dogs interfering. He lay her genly on the bed as if she was something precious to him. Gently he unbuckled her shoes with such great care and reached up beginning to move the panty hose down her legs carressing him as he did so. And for the next hour and some minutes they would make love to each other. Saying good bye and I love you all at the same time. It was beautiful and something she would never forget. And for some time after that they cuddled lying in each other's arms staring in each others eyes. Him stroking her hair and them talking little small talk to each other about all kinds of things. Remembering how they met, how they had dated, what their first date was like. Remembering their wedding in Europe. They talked about all kinds of things reminescing and kissing. Nothing more than that.

"Guess i should start packing." she whispered softly. "Or I"m going to fall asleep." she chuckled when they were both having problems keeping their eyes open.

Rising she pulled a gentle robe over her shoulders and then went into the huge closet and pulled out a large suitcase on wheels. She began to pack up her things, but mostly dance wear since that would be what she needed. Tights, leotards, skirts, ballet shoes, broadway shoes, tight pants. She packed normal clothes like jeans and tshirts. Skirts and dresses. She packed all the things she would need for a two week stay at a dance school. Zipping up her luggage she put it by the door and then slid into her nighty. Climbing back in bed she smiled at the warm and welcoming arms Kazuma laid out for her.

"I love you baby. Sweet dreams." she whispered kissing his lips gently. He began to strke her hair, he always did that to make her sleep. And soon she fell asleep in his arms his hand in her hair.
