Caine stood opposite me in the kitchen island as I drank water and tried to forget about what just happened.Tristan gave me his word that he would be back and I believed him.I was not happy Tristan left sad. It made me sad also but I had to let go of what had happened and wait for when he would return. Happy, Hopefully."What?" I asked CaineHe had been staring at me for too long since we got home.Exhaling, he came round to my side and behind me, I smiled and got ready to be warm in his embrace.“Are you still in love with him?” He held my stomach gently, but his words were not gentle.My smile dropped and I wiggled out of his hold."What's that supposed to mean? I never told you I was in love with Tristan. I do love him yes, but as my friend. You saw it" Hands on my hips, I explained as calm as I could."But it did not look like it, what just happened" He reached out for me again.I scoffed “Caine you’re just jealous. Let this be” I stepped into his arms only for him to say someth
Caine held my hair back and away from my face and passed me tissues.As soon as I cleaned and rinsed my mouth I stomped past him back to the kitchen.it was like he caused my morning sickness and the rage I was feeling now was turned on him.A car sound came and we both turned our attention to it through the window .Leslie‘s car pulled up in our driveway, I remembered making plans with her to go grocery shopping today.I felt light and regretted the decision of eating the fruits.“Thank God. Finally a sane person” I muttered and ft his eyes on me.Leslie came in and we had our greetings like we had not been fighting a while ago and I had not emptied my bowel contents a minute ago.She went towards the laundry room to dry herself off from the rain and left us in silence.“I’m sleeping in the other room tonight” I say breaking the silence “Why?” Caine asked quickly“I can’t be close to you with this attitude you have tonight”He carried the bowl of fruit and poured it inside a trash b
"Good morning", Caine's voice filled the cold morning air and made me warmer from the inside."Good morning", I greeted him back, grumpy from the sleep and the fact that this was the first time I had not slept close to him even though we were in the same house, married.“I made you breakfast” he said, and my eyes went to where plates of waffles and syrup and some eggs were laid. I wondered who had helped him with creating this morning's artwork, and then I scanned the kitchen.The real havoc was in the sink, piles of kitchen stuff.He slept outside the door and woke up early to cook. I felt bad about it.Caine could not cook to save himself and if he did manage, it would be a disaster.His shirt had egg batter on it and his wedding ring was coated in syrup. He looked like he had gone through hell this morning. I was dying to laugh at him, but we were still not on good terms.“I can’t keep the food down if I eat”, I muttered, and took a bottle of water. He quickly started rinsing his
He stood up and added some bath salts and bath bombs to the water.He set some essential oils within reach and reached for the rose petals.As he busied himself, my eyes followed him around. Eager about what was going to happen.I wanted to see him in my state too, bare and open to my eyes, alone.It made no sense that he was clothed, and I was naked.He could see me and I could not. My hunger for him increased."Undress" I said, in a commanding tone."What?" He turned to me quickly, ears perked."Take off your clothes" I said and saw his eyes widen a bit before they started to darken. His shirt came up first, and he let it slip carelessly from his fingers.And then he stood waiting for me."All of it" I said.A small smile played at his lips and he hooked his fingers on the waist of the remaining piece of clothing he had on.He pushed the waist band of his sweatpants down his waist.Slowly as they came off, his bulge, which had been doing a good job of straining in his pants, sprang
I bit his ear softly as I sat on his back running my hand all over his back.“Was last night not enough?" he purred.“You could’ve done better” I wanted to mess with his ego."You're joking" he chuckled "Am I?" I teased "I'm ready to try again" he said and attempted pushing me off him to grab me and prove to me there was always something better."Caine, are you planning on making me unable to walk?" I laughed as I pushed him back down."I'm glad we're on the same page" he laughed.“I can feel knots of muscles in your shoulder, look what that jealousy is doing to you”“Don’t start” he warned playfully.“You need to let go of it and free your mind” I spread my hands, yoga like and tried to hold in my laugh.“Baby” he whined“Jealousy gets you nowhere, except a bunch of tense muscles" I continued."Release them. That's why you're on top of me. I can put it to use, but we'll switch sides. You'll be under me" he said and I could almost hear the seriousness in his voice."You're insatiab
Four months laterThe green field filled with green grass and beautiful flowers and a whole body of clear water that spanned the area.My view of nature from this angle was beautiful.The sun shone directly on the water, casting very perfect and pretty rays of light around us.My smile was full as I breathed the cool evening air and relaxed my body and my bare feet into the soft grass."Baby", Caine called, and I turned back to see he had already arranged our picnic setting, and he was standing on top of the mat with his hands outstretched, waiting for me to go into them.I caressed my small protruding belly as I walked back to him.“Come on” he said as I got closer and when he got in touch with me, he held my waist.“My pretty girl” he said and kissed my cheek before nuzzling my neck."You put your boys scout training into action today", I complimented the arrangement."Baby, any normal person can do this" he said, and he rubbed my belly gently."Well, not me. I can't do that" I sai
Two months laterI woke up with a headache and walked really slowly downstairs and into the kitchen.There I met my husband.“Baby" I announced my presence.He was just back from the gym and he was sweaty and drinking water."Hey honey. How was your night?" "Terrific" I said, and lowered myself into a chair."Why. What happened?" He looked concerned as he came around my side."I felt feverish""Is it mild or something I should worry about?""Not really." I eyed his water. "can you get me water please?"He bent down and kissed me before going back to the fridge to get me the bottle of water.Caine came back with the water and passed it to me. As I drank, he touched my neck."You're running a little temperature" he said and I nodded."The water has been tasting different these days". I looked at the bottle label. "This is different.""I could get you another brand", he collected it and went to get me another different bottled water brand."It's not that" I sighed, and he turned back to
"You have a stubble coming on. How did I not notice that?" I touched his face lightly."I decided to let it grow out", he said, holding my hand."Ah. The daddy stubble" I said, and we both chuckled. It's been two days since I have been in the hospital with different tubes and wires in my body and all this while Caine never left my side for more than two minutes.Two days since, I had seen him genuinely laugh. He was either holding my hand and making me laugh or sitting and brooding when he thought I was not watching. I wanted us to go back to our normal and perfect life. The one where he would pick me up and run around the house with me in his arms.I looked down at the couch he had been lying on for the past two nights and my big stomach obstructed my view."I don't look sexy anymore" I said and wiggled my feet."Don't even say that. You are my perfect round ball", he said, and touched my stomach."You are calling me fat". I was cautiously laying a trap for him."Nope, I'm saying
