“ Dee I need a moment alone with my wife?”
Dee “your

Cloud “I
didn’t divorce her, she died … like it or not she still is my wife and the
mother of my children and I have to respect her as such I am bound by my word
to respect her ”
Cece “You
heard him step…”
Dee “Bitch

Cloud “Imi
!!!(translated , Both of you) act your age and not your shoe seize, this is
hard for everybody lets figure it out civilly , at the end of the day I am
still the head of our house and my word
holds (tapping his chest) I’ll be back soon Dee (tap 7) Ether”
[Cece
and Cloud disappear and reappear alone on a Cloud , and Dee stares at empty
space with tears in her eye’s] Dee "i am losing him"
…Cloud
stares at her no emotions to betray him , he reaches out to touch her she doesn’t
move, he leans into her ear to smell her , he kisses her neck to taste her and
then step back and just stares at her…

Cloud
lying on his back, Cece wearing nothing but his tee shirt and a thong sits on
top of him.
Cece “have

Cloud “Trick

right into my hands, I guess in case my lap ”
Cece
lights a blunt … Cloud “I drink I don’t smoke” She inhales deep puts her lips
over his and exhales slowly (slow kiss when she is done)
Cece “that’s

back to each other staring at each other]
Cloud “don’t

Siting
by a pool in his tee shirt eating grapes while he rubs her feet and sings to
her .
Cece “Miss

Cloud “Always”
Cece “
How much”
Cloud “Eternally
now and forever like the Northern star … my love for you can’t be moved and
will always bring me home ”
She can’t
reply, tears run down her face, Cloud says nothing but hand gestures to come
close and he holds her..."have you ever loved someone so pure you can't tell where they start and you begin"

Friday
late night cuddled up on the couch listening to Marvin Gaye play wrestling and laughing, ¾ of the Vodka gone , past tipsy close to
drunk, occasional pauses eye contact no words and random kisses.
Cece “I want
to ask you some questions about us ? ”
Cloud “ what i do this time ...sure
… you can be on top first to night ”
Cece “Boy get your head out my pants, but okay... seriously... I
mean do you ,really really really love me like the northern star , would you bend the heavens of me and defy nature to love me ?”
A pause
and deep silence …Cloud “Are you pregnant ... am i going to be a dad , what do i tell my mom?”
Cece “no”
Cloud “so
why would you ask me that ?, I love you as hard as I can everyday , like a doctor
told me I had 24 hours to live , do i not make love to you like i was told jesus was coming back this week and i am not sure about sex in heaven?”
Cece “
Its not that … just answer the questions, would you leave me if I couldn’t give you kids"
Cloud “no

Cece “ would
you ever leave?”
Cloud “Not even in death ...do
lungs need air, no … are you sick ?… what a tuma … cancer whatever it is we get through it, ride or die your freaking me out your asking
questions you know the answers to, it's not
like you … whats up ?”
Pulling him to his feet...
Cece “
One last Question and don’t lie to me
and tell me what I want hear or spare my feelings”
Cloud “okay…

dropping to one knee
Cece “
Tapfuma …will you Marry me , I want your last name and one day your babies and
your company until god call one of us home, will you spend the rest of your
life with the me as one flesh , one bone , one soul for forever ?”
Long Silence “yes... what took so long”
Their
bodies part and they just stare at each other... "woman tell me the truth ten years i waited ...i hurt my soul bled for you answer me ..."
she drops to one knee pulls out a peblle “Cloud …marry
