As the sun's light came through the bedroom windows, Eo woke up to find Lila sleepy peacefully in his arms. He remembered everything that happened yesterday and how happy he was. He smiled at Lila while she was dreaming and lightly kissed the top of her head. Captain Eo then looked outside and saw that Lila pick a home with a very beautiful view of the ocean. It was breath-taking. Eo was in awe on how gorgeous the view was. "This is what she wakes up to every morning?" Eo thought to himself. He started to smile when he felt and saw Lila moving a little bit in his arms. When he tried to release his left arm, Lila grabbed it and put it back on her waist. Eo thought he woke her but she was just moving in her sleep. He giggled to himself and then looked back outside.



After a while, Eo felt Lila move again and he looked back at her. She woke up and looked as if she just woke up after sleeping for years. Lila noticed she was laying with someone and then looked at Eo. She smiled at him and said,"Good morning, Captain Eo." Eo smiled back and said,"Good morning, Lila." Lila leaned towards Eo and kissed him a long lustful and passionate kiss. When she finally broke the kiss, Eo said,"You know, you're a very lucky girl." "What do you mean?" Eo pointed his finger towards the window. "You live in this amazing home and you wake up to a beautiful view of this big body of water! What more could you ask for?" "Well one, the big body of water is called an ocean and two the only other thing I could ask for I already have now." "What?" Lila smiled and said,"I have you now."



They both kissed again and got out of bed and got dressed. Lila put on a pair of blue jeans with a sky blue short sleeve shirt. Eo didn't have his clothes with him. They were still in the space pod so he could only put on his normal uniform. "Hahaha! Eo, you can't go walking around like that. You need something else." Lila said as she watched him get dressed. "Like what?" "Give me a half hour and I'll find you something to wear at a store. Don't worry."



Lila grabbed her black flats and her purse and jacket then walked over to Eo to give him a hug. "Where are you going?" "I told you, I'm going to a store to buy you an outfit. I'll be back shortly. Just stay here." Eo leaned down to give Lila a kiss good-bye. As they kissed, his grip got tighter on her back like he didn't want to stop. They finally broke the kiss and Lila headed down stairs. "I love you!" She shouted. "I love you, more!" Eo replied.



*1 hour later*



"Eo! I'm home! Where are you?" Lila said, coming through the door with two bags in each hand. Eo came down the stairs with just his space pants on and no shirt. "Hi, Lila." said Eo as he gave Lila a kiss on the cheek. "Hi. Where's your shirt?" "I didn't put it on because I was really hot. So, what did you buy me?" Lila put the bags on the couch and reached into one. "I got you. . . . . .This button-down shirt. . . . .a pair of pants. . . . .a couple of white t-shirts to put under you button-down shirt and some black dress shoes but they are really called penny loafers." Eo examined everything Lila pulled out. "I love it. These do look like something I would wear. I'll go upstairs and try them on." Eo took the bags and headed upstairs to put on the clothes.



Eo walked down the stairs with his new clothes on and had a big smile. "I love it, Lila! It's perfect! Thank you." He stood at the bottom of the steps so Lila could get a perfect, full view of him. "Eo, that really does look good on you! You look very handsome. I'm glad it all fits you." Lila walked over to Eo as she examined him. He stepped down and gave her a warm hug. "Thank you, again." he said with his arms still around her. "You're welcome, babe. What's wrong? You don't sound happy." Eo released his grip from Lila and sat on the couch. "Eo, did something happen while I was gone? Did one of the guys contact you?" Eo woudn't talk. He just sat there. "Captain. . . . .is everything alright?"



"I have to go back. The guys need me but I don't want to leave you. I'm afraid of leaving you but they need me. Won't you come back?" Eo said, looking at Lila with desperassion. "Captain. . . .I-I told I was happy here. And now that I'm with you, everything is perfect. I don't think I can leave. Can't you just come back?" "But what if they need me again? What, I'm just going to go back and forth? I can't do that. I need stay there in case something happens. Please, just come with me. We can still be together."




Lila started pacing back and forth while she thought what SHE needed to do. All the preasure was on her whether they will stay together or not. She didn't want to leave Earth but she wanted to be with Captain Eo forever now. Lila knew she couldn't have everything so she had to sacrifice one out of the two greatest things she ever had. Lila finally came to a decision but she wasn't happy that's what she chose. Lila got down on her knees and looked at Eo straight in the eyes. She placed her hands on his legs and sighed. "Captain, I know what I'm going to let go and I'm afraid of loosing it but I need to stay with the other." Eo got closer to her face and whispered,"What?" Lila eyes started to water and she grabbed his hands and held them tight as he did with hers. "I want to stay. . . . . . ."



To Be Continued. Will Lila stay with Eo or will Lila choose to stay on Earth?
