When Planners Fight

he & she found themselves to be remarkably similar in personality contrast, for they both had no time for unplanned anything--- both attaining some kind of success at a young age in their prospective careers, they waited throughout the laborious search for a significant other that would mix just right--- finding each other was to the both of them like discovering the proverbial needle in the proverbial haystack--- one thing led to the other & the happy domesticated couple did their happy domesticated thing, wrapped up in a new abode, with glistening rings on their fingers & yummy new dishes whipped up together fertilizing the evenings, energizing the both of them into aphrodisiac bliss. but the missing of the pill was not an accident, nor was it planned--- it was something of a whim on her behalf, after a special night where they both seemed to achieve that comfortable warmth of true contentment which often baits young couples into thinking that they can spend the rest of their lives together & once she missed one, she decided to stop taking them altogether--- sure, they had had a talk about the starting of a family, but together they had come to the conclusion that like everything else they did, it too would be planned perfectly. one morning, after testing herself, she hopped back into bed & felt it was the right time to let him know, after all, things had been going so well with each other’s careers & the two of them seemed so happy together, wouldn’t the news only add to the ecstasy which they seemed to be living in?
