-You're spoiling me.- Sophie said, kissing him while running her fingers through his messy hair.
-The best for the best.- he replied biting her ear.- But first, breakfast.
Sophie ate her breakfast while Ray showered. He got out of the shower covered only with a towel and leaned to kiss her. She grabbed him and begged for him to stay.
-I'm sorry babe, you know I'd love to stay here with you, but I have work to do.- Sophie looked at him like a puppy who has lost her favorite toy.- And you have to write. I don't want to have your editor come around again because you were supposed to send her a book that you hadn't yet finished.
-Okay, Dr. Important Professor at the University. Why haven't you invented something that makes undergrads wlrk for both of us so we can have more time alone?- Sophie teased him.
-I think I'll have to give you some extra homework.- he winked as he put on his jacket and got ready to leave.
-One more kiss?- she pouted.
-Okay,...- Ray replied rolling his eyes.
Sophie watched him leave. She couldn't imagine what she would do without him, even if there had been one time when she hadn't been as enthusiastic about their relationship as she was then. One never knows where life takes you, she thought as she got out of bed.
Ray stared at Sophie's calm face before monitoring all the equipment that kept her alive and living that dream that he had constructed for her. He had fallen in love with her the first time he saw her, she had to be his, Sophie was perfect for him. However, Sophie didn't seem to see it and was much more reluctant about it. It had been a desperate measure, but he knew she would only be happy if he was the one who took care of her. So, one day he drugged her and connected her to a machine of his invention. A machine that would show her how life would be with him. A machine that would put her in his dream life while he cared for her in the real life. And, maybe, someday he would wake her up and live that life for real. Maybe.
