Chapter Thirty

It's been a long time since I had sex, even before Lawson and I quarrelled, but I must confess, this is one of the best, it excites me the way he touches every part of my body.

There is a question I used to ask myself, why can't I resist his touch? Why can't I ignore him when he touches me and act as if I don't want him?. 

I can't find the right answer each and every time I ask these questions. He has a kind of magical hand that soothes away every pain and brings forth joy.

I looked deep into his eyes and said “Why do you do that to Aaron? He is just a friend and I told you before”.

“ He is not just a friend, I can see the way he looks at you every time I see you together”. He said 

“ I thought you didn't care about what I do or who I see, you are just concerned about us having sex” I wanted to be sure.

“ Is that the way you see and rate yourself? Don't forget we are married and I have every right to know who you spend your time with”. He said confidently.

“I can't believe you are saying this, have you forgotten you wanted a divorce somewhere weeks ago? If not for the court case you had, we would have completed the divorce process by now”.

“Do you think I actually wanted a divorce? Then you must be kidding, I only say that to make you, I already told you it's just a word of the mouth”. He said while smiling.

We had another round of sex, he was on top giving it to me from every angle. I felt on top of the world as he explored my body and I can boldly say that he is indeed talented in satisfying a lady.

We bathed together when we were through and went downstairs to take our breakfast.

“ This is how a perfect couple should be. How I wish we could continue this way, but I am sure this is just for a few days. Let us enjoy it while it lasts.” I looked at him closely to see how he would react.

“ What do you mean? I am a changed person, you should be happy about that. We would go out more often together as a couple now”. He showed signs of seriousness.

We chatted for a long time over the dining table.

“I can hear my phone ringing. Caroline, please bring my phone” She went in to bring it.

It was my Mom, then I was like what happened again? What is she calling for this time around?

“ Hi, I am happy you are finally home, your husband called me last night to inform me “ she said happily.

“ He called you? He is truly a changed man. I am happy to be home too and also to his new transformation”. I added 

“ I hope you didn't forget my birthday, I would like you to invite your husband as well and come together”. I had totally forgotten if not for that she mentioned it now.

“ Alright, I will do that”.

Since Lawson promised to be a changed man, and also said we would be going to places together now as a couple, it's fine to invite him to my Mom's birthday.

“ Mom's birthday is coming up and I would like us to go together. She demanded I bring you along as a couple”. I informed him.

“ That's so thoughtful of her, I would love to be there as a son-In-law. It's my duty and I won't hesitate to carry it out”. He accepted the invitation.

“ What do I need to do before that day to be the good son-in-law that I am?” He said jokingly.

I think I like this version of Lawson, very jovial and happy, he creates more time for me, and always wants my happiness. I hope this doesn't end.

It's Sunday, Lawson was home helping in the kitchen, cleaning the house, and doing some more which was surprising because that has never happened since I got into the house.

We had so much fun playing casino games, eating together that Caroline even noticed and complimented that truly Lawson had changed for the better.

“ Let's take a walk, for some minutes and explore new things, the house is so boring” I suggested and he accepted once I mentioned it.

We took a walk for almost forty-five minutes away from home, through the High Line, and then grabbed coffee nearby. The skyline views and atmosphere make it perfect for couples. 

He held my hands, stopped walking, and faced me.

“ Make a wish,” he said and I was confused. Why should I make any wish?

“ It's not even the first snowfall, I don't understand what kind of wish it is .”

“ Yes, it's not the first snowfall, but this is our first time holding hands together, walking side by side, and acting like a real couple outside.

I can see he meant what he said with the kind of seriousness I saw on his face.

“ Okay, it's fine” I held his hands, closed my eyes, and silently wished for something important to me. I opened my eyes to Indictate that I am through.

“It's your turn, " I told him and he also gently closed his eyes and did as I did.

" What do you wish for?" He asked me immediately when he opened his eyes 

"You shouldn't ask, it's meant to be a secret. I won't also ask you for yours?"

We headed back home acting all lovey dovey, I feel alive for the first time in a long time.
