“Maybe,” Luisa said. “But Jesus said there are only two great commandments that we have to abide by, and you showed me that you love me as yourself when you wouldn’t let me go without an orgasm.”
Joe laughed. “I think that I will enjoy being married to you very much. Even if something might be bad, you make it something good. I like that. Positive attitudes will get us a lot further than negative attitudes.”
“That is true,” she replied. “And our life will be full of laughs, blessings and adventures, as well as challenges and trauma. We should always look for the bright side in everything.”
“And that,” Joe said. “I think, is why I fell in love with you so quickly.”
“Oh,” she replied. “It wasn’t because you thought I was pretty or because of my breasts in that sundress?”
“Well,” he admitted. “That might have had something to do with it. When you said ‘yes’ to my joking proposal, I knew instantly that this was meant to be, and that I would never again have such a chance at lasting happiness with such a beautiful woman if I let it slip through my fingers. I knew that I had to have you. That was why my proposal became serious.”
“Well,” she demurred. “You certainly have me now. My womb is full of you little sperm that are doing who knows what. They are probably trying to make a baby.”
“An hour ago,” he replied. “I would have thought that was a bad thing, but now, nothing could make me happier.”
“Me too,” she sighed. “Now, let’s get cleaned up and I will heat up the enchiladas for dinner.”
“Yes Ma’am,” he replied as he lifted up off of her body. He couldn’t let it end there, though, and he lifted her up and kissed her deeply before letting her go.
She turned, looked over her shoulder, and said, “Why don’t you join me in the shower, and we can get each other clean?”
Joe followed Luisa into the shower where, among other things, they got each other clean. Once out of the shower and dry, Luisa looked at his garments and the towel on the bed and said, “I have just the thing to get the blood out of these things. It’s a good thing that we went shopping today, so I could get supplies. Even before dressing, she took the towel and his garments into the sink to let them soak in Oxyclean.
Then, she turned to Joe and asked, “Should we get dressed? It is a good thing that you went to your house to bring clothes here to the apartment. Now, you will have something to wear in case anybody comes to the door.” Joe hadn’t even thought about that possibility, but he was soon scrambling into clean clothes. Luisa laughed and put on clean clothes too.
“Put any dirty clothes into the laundry hamper in the closet,” she told him.
Joe did as she told him, and then went to the couch to wait for dinner to warm up. He didn’t have long to wait, and he was right. The enchiladas were even better the second time around. If she had hoped that she would get three meals out of this dish, she was wrong. Joe was hungry after the afternoon activities, and he polished off everything she gave him and more. Luisa had no problem with him taking seconds or even thirds. It was a compliment to her cooking, and she knew it.
After they finished dinner, Luisa went to the bathroom sink to scrub the stains out of the towel and garments. “See,” she said. “It is as if they were never stained. The trick is to get the stains out quickly. The longer it sits, the harder it will be to clean.” She then took them into the shower to drain and dry.
Luisa then went back to the table to clear it off and then to the kitchen sink to wash everything. Joe asked once more if he could help. “You can dry if you want,” she replied. After everything was clean and dry, Luisa put everything away in the cupboards. Joe already knew better than to help with that and went to sit on the couch.
Luisa came and sat on his lap. She leaned down and gave him a deep kiss. “I love you, Joe. I will always love you.”
Joe looked up into her sparkling eyes and replied, “I don’t think I really knew what love was until I met you. I will love and cherish you forever.” He still couldn’t believe that he had somehow captured the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, and he had seen a lot of beautiful women over the years at BYU. The campus was crawling with them. Unfortunately, most of them were toxic as far as Joe could see. They were all about them, and what was good for themselves first, which was NOT a quality he was looking for. Luisa was as far from toxic as anybody he had ever known, and she seemed to look to his needs before her own.
Luisa continued to sit on Joe’s lap and kiss him deeply. Of course, he got hard again and she felt it under her bottom. She asked if he wanted to go back to the bedroom, but he was happy where he was. He enjoyed her kissing him and didn’t need any more than that for the time being. He told her that he would probably always be hard if she was touching him in any way, but that was OK. It just made him look forward to the next time they could make love that much more.
She couldn’t help but smile as Joe told her this. In the future, after they were married, she planned to make love to him several times a day, every day, for the rest of their lives. Right now, he wanted to kiss, so they kissed until neither of them could move their jaws. Joe told her that he would love to stay the night, but his parents would expect him home. Luisa knew that he was right, and so she kissed him at the door and told him she would see him in the morning. “Morning?” he asked. The plans had completely slipped his mind.
She reminded him that his mother was taking her to shop for a wedding dress, and he said, “OK, I will see you in the morning. I have to have you at the house by nine, so I will be here at eight.”
“Perfect,” she replied. “I will have breakfast ready when you get here.”
“Yes,” he thought to himself. Somehow, he had captured the heart of a gem, a beautiful gem. “I love you,” he said as he turned to leave.
“I love you too,” she replied. “See you at eight.”
Of course, Joe’s parents had all kinds of questions for him when he returned home. He told them about the apartment, and how they had already partially filled it with furniture and supplies. When his mother asked when they could see the apartment, he replied that he wanted Luisa to be comfortable that everything was as she wanted it before he invited anybody over.
His mother smiled. “We have raised a wise young man. He looks to his wife’s needs before his own. Very well, we will wait until Luisa invites us over. It is her home and her palace. We will respect that.
“Oh, by the way, son,” his father said. “We got all of the money for Luisa’s BYU tuition, fees, room and board sent back to Roberto’s account. When I contacted him, he said that he would transfer it into Luisa’s credit card account to pay for the wedding and anything else she needs. He also said there would be a substantial wedding gift after the two of you are married. I have no idea what that means, but we will match whatever Roberto gives you. We want you and Luisa to start off with every advantage.”
Joe had no idea what to say, except, “Thanks, Mom and Dad. I love you both.”
Susan broke the moment by telling Joe, “You need to have her here by nine in the morning, so you should probably head for bed. John, would you say an evening prayer for us?”
“Of course,” John replied. All three held hands and bowed their heads. John started, “Our kind and gracious father in heaven, we thank you for bringing Luisa into our family, we thank you for a wise son who will take care of her, and we thank you for all of the many blessings you shower on us. Please watch over Joe and Luisa, that they will always love and cherish each other, that they will always think of the other before themselves, and that they will have many, many years together to share their happiness. May you bless their lives, and bring many blessings into their home, wherever that may be, in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.”
“Thank you, Dad,” Joe said. “That was the most beautiful blessing I have ever heard.” Joe hugged his mother and father and went up to his room to sleep. Before drifting off, he texted Luisa, “I love you. Oh, and by the way, your father put a bunch of money into your credit card account for the wedding and anything else you need, so you won’t need to worry about money. You will need to bring your card on the shopping trip tomorrow, though.”
Luisa replied, “Oh, wow! I wonder why he did that?”
“Well,” replied Joe. “He got a full refund from BYU today, and I guess the money was burning a hole in his pocket. He also said there will be a substantial wedding present after we are married, and my dad said that, whatever it is, they will match it.”
“I told you that God would bless us,” she replied. This is just the first of many blessings.”
“Yes, Dear,” Joe texted. “In our family prayer this evening, my dad also asked God to bless us.”
“Oh, Joe,” she replied. “I want that too. Every time we part or go to bed at night, I want you to ask God to bless our family and our home.”
“Ask, and it will be given,” he replied. We will pray together every night from now on.”
“Thank you, sweet husband,” she texted. “The more I know about you, the more I love you.”
“It is the same for me,” he said. “It is time to go to sleep now. You have a big day ahead of you tomorrow, so goodnight.”
“Goodnight, Joe,” she closed. “I love you.”
I love you too, Sweetheart,” Joe texted before closing his phone.
The next morning, Joe texted Luisa to see if she was up and running. “Hey, Beautiful.”
“Hi, Handsome,” came the reply.
“Are you ready for the day?” he asked.
She replied, “I have already showered and put on clean lingerie and clothes. I hope your mom won’t be offended by my lace underthings.”
“No,” he laughed as he texted, “I’m sure that she will love it. I will be there at eight.”
“Breakfast will be on the table,” she replied.
Joe pulled in to the parking space in front of the apartment just before eight o’clock. Luisa opened the door and gave him a big kiss. “Breakfast is on the table, so all it needs is your blessing.”
