Sia didn’t even know where to start from because an hour had passed and no sign of Emiliano. She had tried to call him, unfortunately he left his phone in the bedroom, and hence she was helpless. She was now standing by the door waiting for him to get back even if her feet were numb from coldness, she didn’t mind at all she was worried about Emiliano not sure why, but she was feeling bad for fighting with him over a trivial matter. Lost in thoughts her phone in her hands vibrated and with speed and looked at the screen hoping it was Emiliano who Angelo however it was Carmen calling. Not sure why her mother-in-law was calling at night, maybe Emiliano was there, quickly she answered.
“Yes mom”Sia said.
“Hello dear, sorry for calling you at this time…” Carmen said on the other side and Sia smiled faintly.
“It’s okay mom, I hope everything is okay?” Sia said hoping Carmen would tell her Emiliano was there.
“No no everything is okay, I was trying to call him, but he’s not answering… could you please give him the phone”Carmen said and immediately Sia’s heartbeat quickened as she looked around thinking about what to do or say, and she couldn’t tell Carmen that Emiliano had gone out because she would ask her questions.
“Mom… well… Emil is in the shower now… so”she tried to say nervously.
“It’s okay dear I’ll talk to him tomorrow”Carmen said and cut the call, Sia exhaled in relief and there’s the phone across the floor hating her sudden situation, she was restless and her so-called husband was out. Sia decided to go after him, but when she took the first step towards the door, she stopped and realized. Maybe he was with his women, Sia thought, and the truth hit her heart like a sharp thorn and her gaze lowered to the floor and turned to walk back upstairs and sleep because if he was with them, then what was the point of waiting for him. Yes, she was his wife, but by just a name she didn’t mean anything to him nor did she expect anything. With a sigh, she made her way there but just then the door flew open and Sia turned back only to see him standing there, Sia’s heart tightened as tears lingered in her eyes and without knowing she nearly flew to him and threw herself in his arms, surprising Emiliano who didn’t react or hug her back, but he could hear her sobbing muttering something he didn’t understand and of course his heart and mind registered she was being dramatic.
“Umm..’s… sorry… I”Sia said awkwardly and moved away from him not sure why she did that and Emiliano raised a brow as he walked in and Sia closed the door and walked back to Emiliano who looked back at her and frowned.
“What are you doing?” Emiliano asked with knitted brows and Sia glanced to the sides not sure what to say to him, if she told him that she was waiting for him, then she knew he would taunt her for life.
“Well… I was thirsty… so I went to the kitchen to grab some water”she made up and excuse and Emiliano arched a brow at her, if she went to get water why done she run to him life a decorated wife who was happy after seeing her run away husband.
“Where were you?”she asked with a lowered gaze but soon regretted her question “I mean its late I’m going to sleep”she added and walked past him but to her, shock Emiliano grabbed her arm and sia looked back with wide eyes however Emiliano had a cold blanket expression plastered on his face.
“Dinner was ruined, I’m still hungry… could you make some food”Emiliano said hesitantly and Sia looked at him still shocked at what he just said, he wanted her to make something for him to eat but… but she was a horrible cook forget horrible she didn’t even know how to switch on the stove later on cook anything.
“Well… I… give me ten minutes”she wanted to refuse, but she chose to do it anyway but how, with some hesitation she made her way to the kitchen and once she got there she switched on the lights and looked around not sure where to start from. Seriously she was going to flop and make something terrible and Emiliano will laugh at her because despite acting all brave she was a terrible cook.
“Oh heavens I’m doomed”She mumbled in frustration and decided to get to work, it was almost midnight and if she made some poison, then who would she blame of course Emiliano because he must have known she didn’t know how to cook hence her wants to taunt him about it.
After what seemed like forever of fighting with pots and pans and wrecking her brain to make something good for her husband Sia was done.
“Finally… oh save me”she said dramatically and looked up and then down at the plate of food and with a silent prayer, she took the plate and went to the dining room only to see Emiliano sitting there like a decent husband and once she got there she served him and stood to the sides and closed shut her eyes hoping he doesn’t I shot her because she had no idea if the mac and cheese with some vegetables went together or even tasted nice, this was the first time she cooked something all by herself and she knew the food tasted horrible and Emiliano would laugh and laugh at her such that she would feel so bad and hurt, these thoughts flooded Sia’s head, and she had a headache for some reason and once her eyes flew open noticing that Emiliano wasn’t saying anything and when her eyes lowered to his plate she found him eating.
“Where are the insults”she muttered seeing how his face lit up as if the food was the best he had ever tasted, Sia watched him in silence until he was done
“I… is it nice?”she asked nervously not expecting him to eat her horrible food.
“Interesting… always make this”Emiliano said and left the dining room leaving a shocked Sia with a smile on her face. She couldn’t believe her didn’t rain insults at her.
“Was it really nice… hell no”she said with a chuckle and looked towards the stairs and a huge smile appeared on her face.
After a tiresome night sia made her way back to the room but found it empty, she assumed Emiliano was still in the study room, and hence she went under covers to get some shut eyes, but her heart was restless again, she didn’t know why, but she had been feeling weird and the thought of Emiliano made her heart beat quicken such that she tried to keep her mind clear from all thoughts. A while passed and Sia was still fully awake, and she was beginning to feel irritated, especially the fact that Emiliano was still not there. What could he be doing? she wondered but just then the door opened and Sia’s heart pounded loudly not sure why but even when she felt him take the right side of the bed, she was even more agitated because she decided not to put pillows between them like she usually did hence nothing separate them, and she felt regretful. Emiliano switched off the lights and the room went dark and Sia felt exposed, she felt different, and her body felt cold even though she had covered herself up. It wasn’t easy but Sia was beyond lost however a great shock happened because she felt Emiliano put her arm over her, she guessed he was already asleep hence she tried to get rid of it but Emiliano tightened his grip and in one go he pulled her close to him and Sia went numb at his actions. She was fully in his arms and she felt him bury his face in the crook of her neck as his hot breath brushed against her skin sending a shiver down her spine such that she went weak.
“W… what are you doing?”she murmured a question in a cracked voice but Emiliano didn’t utter a word as he pulled her even more close to the point that no space remained between them Sia could feel his heart beat and both his strong arms wrapped around her petite body.
“Let me apologize in… my own way”he murmured in a husky voice and Sia’s head went blank because she had two choices the first one was to push him away and tell him things while the second one was to turn to him and encourage whatever he was planning and her heart and mind chose the latter.
