Forever my Love Ch. 01
Comments, critiques and tips are welcome!

Human beings continue to live as long as their hearts go on beating
If our hearts stop beating, we stop living as well... because the blood stops flowing in our bodies...
But I don't really believe that... that's not the only reason to die. There's something else...
When the heart stops beating, life fails to go on... because it fails to continue to love.
Only the dead have no capacity to love, especially if that person has lost the capacity to love because of a past.

From the moment we were born, everything has been decided for us, from the name we have, our status in life and even our future. But sometimes, fate has its own tricks to play. It's going to challenge everything we believe has been set for us and most of the time, it uses love as its weapon.
In all these trials, nothing is ever easy. Someone always gets hurt and sometimes, someone dies, but one thing is for certain, there's nothing sweeter than a fated challenge overcome and a fate that was fought for...

The sound from the water in the shower made the noise in the bathroom as it hit the floor with fog from the warmth making it look like clouds.
And here he was, a very handsome man standing in the shower with his hand on the wall, leaning and his head facing the floor. The water strode down his back, making him feel so warm and free, almost like it was taking away all the troubles that he knew.
It took time, he didn't wanna leave but he knew he had taken so much time. He switched off the shower and picked a towel that begin wiping himself. He left the shower and went to a mirror that was covered with fog. He used his hand to wipe it, revealing his gorgeous self.
His pitch-black hair was wet but one could tell it was beautiful with his piercing blue eyes and well shaven beards and a smooth skin. He was muscular and had the body of a model. He got lost into the mirror once again and didn't know how long it took but the next thing he felt were arms wrapping tightly around his waist from behind right before he felt a kiss on his back.
"Hey!" He chuckled, slightly turning his head. "I am wet, you know. You don't wanna get wet."
"You're also naked." A sweet voice spoke from behind followed by another kiss. "I don't mind whether you're wet or dry as long as I get to hold you while you're naked."
He laughed and slowly turned to find a captivating smile waiting for him, his husband. He looked at him with so much love, so much admiration. He couldn't help but return the same. His husband was a gorgeous, handsome guy. He had medium length beach waves that was into frosted blonde balayage, a sexy hairless face with gorgeous big lips and a body to die for. He was just so perfect.
"You took so long in the shower, baby."
"Did I?" He laughed, his arms wrapping tightly around his husband. "I didn't notice."
"Oh, maybe you did it on purpose so that I could follow you here." He said, sexily circling his husband's chest. "And then, we could spend the rest of our day here. Wouldn't you like that?"
He laughed. "Come on, Jim, I would love to spend the rest of my day with you." He sighed as he took a deep breath. "But I gotta work. If I don't work, we're gonna starve."
"Even if we didn't go to work for the next decade, we'd never go broke." Jim said with a raised eyebrow. "Besides, last time I checked, my husband is the boss. All he needs to do is snap his finger and it will be done. No one will question why you didn't go for work."
"Yeah!" David nodded. "But as a leader, I need to lead by example. Besides, we have all the time in the world to be together."
Jim smiled as his arms found themselves locked around his husband.
"You're so cute." He moaned. "Makes me wanna kiss you so bad and moan your name all over this place."
Without wasting any time, he pulled the man's head downwards and locked his lips with him. God! The kiss was explosive, hungry and passionate as usual. The feel of the man's lips dancing on his, the scent emanating from him and the heat coming from him was just too much for Jim. He couldn't help but moan.
Jim was happy, very happy. 5 years had passed already, five years of enjoying his marriage, five years of enjoying his peace with the love of his life. A lot had changed in those five years. He was married to the man of his dreams and they were a family.
Jim had graduated from the university and was now working in his father's company and was part of the board. His love for David had grown so much that he couldn't imagine life without him. The man had changed so much, had accepted their marriage and they were living happily.
For the last five years, no one had threatened his marriage since the pest that had wanted to destroy him was now dead, perhaps nothing but soil. The news of the death of Ben had come at the right time. He had gotten rid of his enemy and gotten his prize. David now loved him more than ever and he wished for nothing more than their happiness forever.

Jim and David were coming down the stairs, arm in arm looking like the perfect couple. David wore a black designer suit that fit on him so perfectly, showing his muscular body with his dark made into curtain bangs. Jim on the other hand was just simple as he was escorting his lovely husband.
Reaching down the stairs, Jim wrapped his arms around his husband's neck and smiled while staring deep into those shining eyes.
"I will miss you so much, baby." He moaned, biting his lips sensually.
"I will miss you too, but I will be back and we'll be together." He smiled.
Jim nodded and then pulled David's head downwards until their lips met. God, five years and it still felt like a dream. His life had just become too perfect and he couldn't believe he was kissing the man that happily kissed him back.
"There they are, my two lovely sons." A voice interrupted them, right before they heard the sound of heels.
It was Claudia and she looked so sexy, so young with her dark hair made into long layers parted in the middle. She wore a beautiful black dress that stuck on her like a second skin, showing off her gorgeous curves and black high heels. She could easily pass for a 30-year-old.
"Hey, mom!" Jim chuckled, slowly turning to look at her. "How are you doing?"
"Good, even better now that I have seen my two favorite people." She teased, winking at the both of them. They burst into laughter. "Don't you two look lovely? And how are my two sons this morning?"
"We're fine." David replied, smiling at her. "And you look lovely too."
The three of them were having an amazing time just talking. It didn't take time before they heard footsteps and there emerged Amber, looking gorgeous in a black pants suit with black heels that made her look like a princess. Her hair was made into a loose updo and the smile on her face did her justice when she saw her brother.
"Good morning, mi amor!" She said happily with her arms open. "Hope you had a goodnight sleep."
"It was perfect!" David replied as he kissed her head and pulled her into a hug. "And don't you look beautiful today? Are you going on a date?"
Amber chuckled, pulling away from the hug. "Of course, not!" She winked. "I just love looking good. After all, who knows whom we meet?" She laughed, still holding his hand. "Are you ready to go for work?"
"Well, I..."
"You haven't had your breakfast." Jim chimed in, resting his hand on her shoulder. "The food is very delicious and I inspected it myself. I am pretty sure you'll love it."
Amber looked beside her shoulder and shrugged it off, losing the smile on her face.
"I am not hungry, especially not for the food that you personally inspected." She said harshly, watching as he lost the smile on her face. "I will get something on the way to the office. And I will appreciate it if next time you keep your mouth shut and not talk to me. Am I understood?"
To say Claudia and David were shocked would be an understatement.
"Amber?" Claudia gasped, shaking her head. "Why would you speak to Jim like that? Have you lost your senses? Have you forgotten that he's the son in law of this house, your brother's husband?"
"Well then, I don't wanna stress the point anymore." She shrugged. "Tell him to stay out of my way. This good guy thing doesn't fool me at all because I can see right through him. I only ask for one thing and that is for him to leave me alone. He can do anything he wants but he should stay away from me."
Jim felt tears in his eyes.
"You're impossible!" Claudia shook her head. "Apologize to him right now." She demanded.
Amber laughed. "Over my dead body, mom, will I waste my breath apologizing to this guy. You can do that for me, after all, you've been doing it all these years." She looked at David who stood there looking like a robot. "I will be outside."
Without any words, she left. David took a deep breath and took Jim's hand, slowly kissing it. He could tell that his husband was very much hurt. He had just been trying to be nice and Amber had started the trouble as usual.
"I am so sorry, baby." He apologized. "Forgive her, I am sure she's just frustrated from all the work she's been doing recently. I'll talk to her and she'll come around. I promise."
Jim gave a fake smile, nodding.
"I will see you later."
He kissed him quickly and rushed outside. When he reached there, he found Amber waiting for him. She had a smile on her face as though nothing had happened. David crossed his arms on his chest and raised his eyebrow as he stared at her.
"What?" She shrugged.
"What was the meaning of that, Amber?" David's voice was a little high. "Why would you speak to him like that? What has this boy done that you hate him so much? Let me remind you that Jim and I are married." He emphasized. "He deserves to be respected as my spouse as well as your brother-in-law."
"I don't wanna talk about this." She said with a sigh. "If you want someone to tell you what's going on then why don't you ask your husband? That's if he's got the guts to even tell you what it is."
"You're the one that always starts these fights, Amber." David defended. "Jim has had fights with you, yes, but most of the time you're the one that provokes him. I am getting tired of seeing this hatred that you have for him."
Amber's mouth opened but no word came out of it. She got offended when her brother said that to her.
"Are you saying that I am the problem?"
"I didn't say that." David raised his hands like he was surrendering. "All I said is..."
