Stroking her face seeing the fear, 'If I told her the bullet was meant for me, and the officer pushed me out of the way, and he got hurt instead of me, she will be more afraid.'
"I am fine, but if you don't go and change, I won't be responsible for what might occur."
Hearing her apologized as she ran out of the room, Diandra heard him laughing.
"Why do I have to be so stupid all the time?" Hearing his laughter ringing in her ear as she hurried and changes.
Angry with herself for being such a coward and scaredy-cat,
Diandra ponders in her heart, 'Was he mocking me? Or was it a diversion? Well whatever it was I know something is wrong, and he used that to distract her questions.
He looks so tired and worn out, and there was this fear in his eyes, that I have never seen before.'
"Oh my God, did my dream came true, was it he that was taken to the hospital, and he is hiding it from me?'
Whispering a word of thanks to the Lord that whatever happens, he is not hurt and is home safe just as he promised.

Alex enters the bathroom inhaling the fragrance of the shampoo and all the spices, it smells so good in the room.
Whispering, "I was feeling so tired and drain, that when I remove my clothes, I just wrap myself in a towel, its a good thing though, just supposed I did lie down naked.' Smiling he open the shower.
'I thought I was alone and could avoid her questions, I wasn't even aware that she was in the bathroom until the door open, and the fragrant fill the room,
It was only then I became aware of her presence, because I didn't hear any water falling.
Recalling when his fingers touch her face, her skin felt so soft, and seeing her concern in her eyes for me, was heartwarming and very welcoming, 'At least I knows she cares a tiny little bit for me.'
While showering, memories of the shooting flooded back in his mind, "Dear God if that Officer didn't push me away and cover me, I would have been the one in the hospital or even dead.
We had barely made it away from the window when the bullet grazes his hand, he wasn't protecting himself, but was ensuring my safety.
I know for definite that bullet was meant for me, he was taller than I, and if it had missed him then I would have gotten it in my neck or my head."
Closing his eyes Alex pray, "Thank you for protecting me Lord, I promised her I will take care of myself.
You, my Lord, was the one that saved me, by opening the young man's eyes to see the shooter on time. Lord, her dream almost came true."
Thinking back recalling that she said, most of her dreams come true. 'I am sure she was praying for me during the day.'
Alex felt his stomach grumbles, recalling with everything that has happen, he didn't eat anything except the cheese sandwich she give him and that was ten this morning before he went on patrol.
Turning of the shower he dry himself and went and change,

Diandra sits in front of the television while combing her hair, listening to the comments that the judges were making as they show each candidate's faces.
Hearing Alex door open, she switches a few channels quickly when he calls out saying, "Diandra go back to that channel you were looking at."
Seeing she was ignoring him, he scale down the stairs not wanting to miss the program. "Give me that control, and what channel were you looking at?"
"It was boring." Then she put the control inside her robe. "Now you cannot get it there."
"Are you sure?" Noticing the questionable look on his face but, 'Diandra knew she must delay him or her secret will no longer be a secret.
"You wouldn't dear." Grabbing her Alex pulls her into his arm, as she struggles to brake free from his holds, "Stop it, Alex."
"I want the tv control."
"Sorry, I cannot give you it."
"Then I hope you don't mind," when he pulls the band from around her waist and lift her up.
Hearing the control fell to the ground Alex put her down. Taking up the control saying, "Recently I got my eyes tested, and my vision is perfect, what do they say? It's twenty, twenty vision."
Switching back to the channel only hearing the judges congratulating the candidates, then the program finish. 'Boy, I am never lucky to see the candidate's faces."
When the news came on Alex asks, "Diandra, what was they talking about?"
"I don't know, I wasn't paying attention."
"You, my dear lady is lying to me in my face."
"I was not, as you can see I was concentrating on combing my hair, and now because of you horsing around, my hair is all crumpled up. Now it will take forever to comb it through."
"Okay, I am sorry, so let me help," taking the comb and began combing it, Her hair felt good between his fingers as though it is silk.
"Diandra, why did you wash your hair so late, when you know it take so long to dry?"
"I lost track of time but most of the days I mostly wash my hair on Wednesdays, but while rubbing the wall, it gets dust but I will use the blow dryer."
"Now tell me what have you been doing for the rest of the day?"
"A little of this and a little of that."
"That is not an answer but I realize you don't give a direct answer. But what does it have to eat?"
"I eat out the last of the lunch you send for me, and Alex why didn't you eat lunch, and why were you at the hospital, again?"
