The Pursuit of Perfection

The vast night sky is neither too dim nor too dark since the glistening moon was hanged low on the endless horizon above. The weather can still be considered clear despite the usual showers around this time of the year. Evidently, last night had been quite torrential, as the rain would frequently visit this lovely southern part of the continent. The house was located in the city of Durban, where the coastal winds are coming at an expectable rate to create such stunning shoreline landscape with an equal beauty compared to the famed Cote
D’Azur in France. However, at the other side of the city, further inland is equally majestic with vast plot lands of natural savannah that one can easily watch the animals roamed freely and that would be one the most mesmerizing scene thing about Africa.
The elegant young damsel was gazing upward, cupping her chin with her hands on the railings and deeply enticed by the mesmerizing moon, as if she’d been cast a spell of reverence towards the glowing object. Her eyes didn’t shifted a bit from the trance state as her surrounding is enveloped deeper in the darkness of midnight. The drifting breeze seemed rather warm on her skin as she viewed the great Indian Ocean from her balcony, all alone and she looked very peaceful. There were faint glimmers of dancing light once in a while on the foggy waters far from her sight, reflected from the moonlight, thus welcoming the late night ships arriving at the nearby port.
If she listened very closely, she could hear the indistinct sound of a school of majestic whales. They were lingering quite far from the shore perhaps trying to feast on the abundant source of krill around the area. She was wearing her navy blue knee-length nightgown laced aesthetically which suits her pale complexion and suddenly she sighed. There is something that was troubling her mind for some days now but she herself can’t quite put it right into words. She used to love wearing skimpier night lingerie to bed when she was still a virgin and unmarried. She kept the particular habit until now but recently she preferred them covered with a longer nightgown due to the fact that the nights would be quite cold sometimes.
She was deep in her thoughts so she didn’t notice the presence of a gentleman behind her, he was wearing nothing but a plain boxers and he looked equally gorgeous, bathed under the faint moonlight. He came slowly, tip-toeing towards her from the large French doors connecting the balcony with the bedroom. They looked the same age and they looked well-suited to each other. He was sheepishly smiling, quite delighted that she didn’t notice him yet. He was waiting for the right moment to surprise her as he crept slowly towards her.
The man stunned her by embracing her in surprise from behind and she cried, trying to act as if she’s not surprised by the sudden embrace. He caressed the lady’s hair with absolute affection and admiration toward her. They exchanged a passionate kiss and then she continued to watch the dark sea and remained speechless.
“What are you doing at this time of night, my love? I woke up to pee and I realized that I was all alone on the bed. Tell me what’s wrong now. What has been troubling you tonight, ma chérie? I’ve never seen you this worried before. Somehow, I remembered that I didn’t marry a worrywart” inquired the young man with a slightly naughty tease. Then, he massaged her arms gently, sniffing the scent of her hair with his nose as she sensed that she started to enjoy the loving attention. He let his well-toned body glide amorously against her back trying to entice her back to bed with him. After a few minutes of romantic gestures, she resisted him and folded her arms as she gave him a cold, hard stare.
She exhaled elegantly at his boyish bravado. She’s not annoyed by the sexy attempts but her mind is rather somewhere else at the moment and his presence was a little bit disturbing.
