It was the day of the vacation.
John Dome had put extra effort into making sure that today was extra special.
He had planned the "To's" and "Go's" of the entire operation.
He always liked to be punctual, never late for even a single board meeting, so why would he be late for such an important occasion?
He had already made accommodations for his family and his two best friends.
Apologizing for not being able to make it to their scheduled meeting time.
They said that they understood where he was coming from.
He did all this after he finished his early morning jog before he went to shower for the day.
Truth be told ever since he started the E.F.x he barely had resting time, he had no time to rest.
Research at night and a company to run during the day.
He was running on Rocket-coffee and fine Wine.
Rocket coffee was one of the many projects that Dome Research Facilities had produced. It contained high-end state-of-the-art chemically engineered electrolytes that could instantly stimulate the brain to send nerve signals to every part of the brain.
Made from Himalayan coffee beans mixed with plant-growing hormones and stimulizing chemical edible sanitizers (Stimulating + Energizing). It starts from the heart pumping blood to the brain sending it a signal, and then the brain responds by sending nerve signals throughout the body stabilizing and metabolizing the substance, so a person does not die from a heart attack.
This particular work was what made him wealthy.
It was designed in Lilac Town High School, for the High School basketball team to be able to keep up with other schools in terms of physical prowess.
Dome Rocket-coffee had one severe drawback- Constant abuse can cause a heart attack and could kill a person.
He could remember the time a random family 'the Jamesons' tried to sue him because their athlete son became addicted to his coffee and almost died from a substance overdose.
All the legal cases that the public put against Dome Industries itself. He won them all.
They all knew he was a benevolent man who only sought to move the human civilization forward.
Dome Industries was every single business venture that Jonn Dome was affiliated with.
Which was a lot.
He wasn't sleeping after the jog, just resting trying to see if he could get some shut eye, but it was to no avail.
He was halfway between sleeping and the waking world when he started hearing sobs.
Tiny sobs.
These sobs were quieted by muffles, but they somehow stung like little sharp needles.
He knew very well who those sobs belonged to.
He couldn't bring himself to sleep now that his wife was sobbing What kind of husband will he be?
Lily Dome was all that he cared about and the whole world knew that for a fact. Touching his wife as a stranger was next to impossible.
She was always protected.
She barely left any of his residents, even if she decided to leave, she was surrounded by a battalion of bodyguards covering her very location. Some could be seen, some couldn't.
Riding in vans and cars acting like civilians Lily Dome was the safest woman on the planet there was no challenging that.
At home, the guard will surround the mansion in a three-hundred-and-sixty-degree scoping range all armed with different riffles ready to take aim and fire in the scenario of Lily gets angry at anyone.
But that wasn't going to happen because she was pure-hearted, and nothing could change that.
The only two-faced person was John.
No one could even just uncertainly look at his wife.
He opened his eyes and hugged Lily.
"Oh John"
"It's ok we'll find a way, don't give up hope my dear wife."
No word was said after.
They just lay on the bed with Lily in the embrace of John.
*Knock*
"What is it Mr. Tom?"
"Breakfast is served Sire."
"We'll be down in a few minutes Mr. Tom.", Lily said now reserving her former majestic presence.
"Baby do you want to shower together?", John said knowing fully well that he had already showered.
"Okay, let's go."
She got off the bed and went toward her cosmetic table to look at herself in the mirror.
Tom got up behind her staring at her in total astonishment.
"Why am I so lucky?"
He said, this time fully aware of it, it was his attempt at wooing her.
And it worked.
She turned around so fast and was sucking his face as he undressed her.
She had already started undressing him from his robe as well.
When they were aware of the fact that they were ready to go hit the shower she jumped on John who carried her to their luxurious bathrooms.
To her surprise, there was a bath running already.
The feeling of moderately hot water, the red rose petals on the water's surface hit her immediately, she said not a word to John for all she could do was smile.
She was very aware that he had gone for a run, and had showered earlier, but she didn't mind getting showered with so much love.
It was her who was like this most times.
John just felt that it was time for him to get his freak on.
After all, it was a special day and special days began with special events, events such as special showers and special breakfasts.
She knows who her husband was and what he could do and what he couldn't do which was almost nothing.
John carefully dropped her into the relaxing water.
The roses made way for her.
She just knew what was in the water to give it such a relaxing feeling.
Lavender oil, honey, coconut milk, and Chamomile Tea Bags. Who wouldn't be happy with such a husband?
Tom went into the room and came back with a small black round tray containing White pearly wine and two cups.
He then got into the bath smiling so softly and sincerely, getting in from the back so she could rest against his strong and rock-hard six-pack abs.
"Oh, Jonnie you are so sweet."
John got the two cups and poured the wine into them.
He gave a cup of the sparkling white wine to his dear wife and held the other one.
She looked back to see him shake the cup again like he always did before he drank any wine.
She smiled and asked, "Why do you always do that?"
"You won't understand, this is a way to mix the wine and incorporate all the flavors evenly."
"Hmmmm, you don't say." She said as she rested against him
"Jonnie?"
"Hmmm?"
"Where did you say we were going again?"
"Not sure, do you like the Maldives?"
