Chapter 79: Baby factory
Lily’s POV
“Lily!”. Alex said as he shook me, pulling me out of my thoughts.
“Yeah.” I flinched slightly at the sudden contact.
“It seems I lost you there for a minute.” He said with a chuckle as he watched me with skeptical eyes.
“I’m alright .” I shook my head as I tried to bring myself back to the current time. I sighed as I hoped i that I sounded reassuring enough.
I’m pretty sure that he must think I am a freak, because of the way i spaced out. I wonder how long I had been that way and how long he had been trying to get my attention.
“Alright Let’s go baby.” Alex said as he stretched out his large hands towards me, in a gesture that told me to give him my hands.
“Yeah sure.” I responded tight lipped. ‘Baby?’, really?, I wasn’t in the mood for any of these shenanigans. I eyed him from his outstretched hands to his face, back and forth and I rolled my eyes at him before walking off.
“Feisty are we now?”. He said with a chuckle behind me. I could hear the cockiness in his voice but I just kept on walking.
He couldn’t just act like this. How could he just do whatever and make me unhappy and then just come here calling me baby and all as though we were love birds. I couldn’t just pretend that things were okay between us because everything was far from okay.
“Someone’s ass looks juicier.” Alex whispered in my neck.
“Get away from me!.” I jerked back and let out a little squeal as i felt the sudden hot hair in my neck. I had gotten to the car and I was about to go in when he suddenly spoke from behind me. It made all the hairs on my body to stand.
“Don’t be like this baby.” He said cockily. “I know you want me to have some of that, else you wouldn’t be jiggling it like that in front of me.” He said with a whistle as he shameless checked out my ass again.
“I wasn’t jiggling my ass and if I were, it was certainly not for you so don’t get any funny ideas.” I spat back as I stared at him in a challenging manner.
“Oh darling you amuse me.” He chuckled darkly. I intended to make him mad but I guess he wasn’t bothered by that. I sighed and was about to get in to the car when he grabbed me roughly and pinned me to the car.
One of his hands held my waist roughly and one of his hands were on my neck, pinning me down to the car. “Oh Darling”. He tsked as he rubbed my throat and neck softly. “You still don’t understand, I wonder why.” He stared at me like he was really for me that I did not understand whatever it was he wanted me to understand.
“Understand what?”. I asked in heavy breathes.
He ran his long fingers over my facial features, like he was memorizing each of them again. From my eye brows to my eyes, touching each of them down to my lips. He seemed to always do that a lot, I wonder why.
“You need to understand that you’re mine.” He said in a low tone as his Grey bore holes into mine. A tone that meant that I should engrave his words in the back of my mind to always stand as I reminder if I ever thought he was bluffing at this moment. “And I would kill anyone that as much looks at you and then I would fuck this ass with his blood on my hands.”
I stilled instantly as he spoke in a low menacing tone. I looked up at him to search his eyes and I knew he meant every word of it. How could he say something so dirty and grievous like that so causally. Alex was fucking sick and I just realized that.
But what I also realized was that I was just as sick, if not more because those words ignited a fire inside me and I wanted nothing more than to actually have those words as my reality right now.
“Get in princess”. He said as guided me into the car. I was still in shock and in my own head so I just quietly obliged. He chuckled as he went around the car and got in beside me.
Alex was really something else. He should be like a study, something that scientists would gather around and make experiments as they tried to figure out how he thinks and why he thinks like that.
Someone that just said the most insane thing in a such a menacing manner, was now acting all chirpy beside me. It was as though none of that happened . It was really scary.
“Are you hungry?”. Alex asked out of the blue.
“No.” I answered quickly without looking back at him. I had my head relaxed on the window as I looked the bustling city. I wanted to be as far away as possible from Alex, I didn’t like being confined spaces with him.
“Oo…kayy.” He responded in a sing song voice and I could tell he had an amused expression on his face. “Are you hungry?, hm?, do you want some food?.” He asked in a softer voice.
“What are you doing?”. I squealed and jerked backwards, hitting my head on the window in the process.
“Are you okay?”. He asked worriedly as he held my face looking for scratch or whatever.
“Yeah, I’m fine. Move away.” I held my head in my hands as I pushed him slightly.
“You need to be more careful.” He said in a stern tone.
“I am careful don’t speak to me like you’re my father or something.” I spat back harshly. “and it’s all your fault, what the hell were you doing so close to me?.” I screamed at him in anger and the pain on my head only fueled it.
“You’re not being careful at all and I’m not your father but you’re husband so I can tell you to be careful and also think about the baby!”. He sighed exasperated like speaking to me was such a hard task.
“So it’s just about the baby huh?, it wasn’t ever about me. You don’t care if something happens to me so long as the baby is fine right?”. I turned in my seat to face him now. Initially I thought he cared that I hurt myself but now I know why he’s even here in the first place, just for the baby. I guess I mean nothing to anyone. I’m just a baby factory.
“Don’t be silly. Of course I don’t want anything to happen to you and I also don’t want anything to happen to the baby. I’m just saying that henceforth you should also try to put the baby into consideration when you do things. It’s not just about you anymore.” He explained.
“Oh really, now all of a sudden you care about this baby so much.” I scoffed.
“Of course I do, I have always cared about my child.” He said softly as if my words broke him.
“What a way to show it. Father of the year.” I said mockingly. ” and what do you know about carrying a child? Huh?, just look at you telling me the dos and don’ts of carrying a child like you know anything about it.” I fired back at him.
“Please don’t be like this baby. I’m not saying I know best or I’m trying to undermine what it takes to carry a child, I’m only pointing out something.” He reasoned. I don’t know what was annoying me the most, the fact that he was talking trash or the fact that he was talking trash in such a manner that seemed like he did not want to fight. Since when did Alex learn how to communicate.
“Ahh, Mr. pointer”. I mocked. “What else do you want to point out. Perhaps you know the pain I go through and how I feel every second.” I screamed at him.
“Lily please.” He begged. In that moment I wanted to cut out his throat. Why wasn’t he fighting me and putting me in my place. Where was the Alex I knew. It was really pissing me off.
“Please what huh?, and you haven’t answered my question, what the hell were you doing close to me?”. I screamed again. I can only imagine the measure of self control Mr. Mark has, because not once did he turn to look at us, not even from the mirror. He simply drives without even interrupting us.
“What was I doing close to you?, you’re asking what I was doing close you?!. Now there was my Alex. He scoffed like being close to me was such a bad thing, not that I wanted him to be close to me but then it should be me saying I don’t want to be close to him not him finding the idea repulsive. You get what I mean right. “You said you weren’t hungry so I was just trying to inquire from my child if she was hungry and it turns out that she is so we’re going to get food.” He explained.
“W.. what?”. I asked dumbfounded. “How do you know that the baby is a ‘she’.” I asked eyeing him.
“I know what I put inside you.” He said with a cocky smile.
“Oh shut up!”. I swatted his arms and looked away to hide my red cheeks.
“I know it’s a girl. She’s going to be so cute.” He said with dreamy eyes. He looked so in love with our unborn child. I imagined having a baby girl with his eyes and having all his god like features. She would be so painfully beautiful.
“But we’re having a boy” I said breaking him out of his trance. In as much as baby girl sounded nice, I wanted a boy. I wanted a mini Alex. It would be the cutest, having a mini Alex, someone that looked exactly like Alex but a tiny version.
“I wouldn’t argue with you baby but like I said earlier, I know what I put in you.” He said with a chuckle and I looked away immediately as I stiffled a laugh. “Are you hungry my little princess?”. He cooed at my stomach. “Okay princess, we’re going to get you food now.” He said to my stomach.
It was the cutest thing ever. I wish I had recorded it. Alex who always had the sternest expression on his face, was bent at my stomach talking to our unborn baby. It was so beautiful, I had to blink rapidly to hold my tears back.
“How can you tell that she’s hungry?, babies don’t speak and certainly not the ones that are yet to be born.” I said with small laugh as I rolled my eyes at him.
“Well she’s my daughter so I understand her, she doesn’t need to speak for me know what she wants.” He said with a proud smile.
“Oh really?.” I laughed.
“Yeah, and now she’s saying…”. He put his ear closer my stomach and stayed quiet as if he was listening to something. “She’s saying she wants chicken, rice and some ice cream.” He finished with a smile.
“She said all that?”. I laughed so hard that streams of tears left my eyes.
“Yeah and whatever my little princess wants, she gets.” He said as he straightened himself. “Mr. Mark please take us to where we’ll get the best chicken.” He called out to Mr. Mark.
“Yes sir.” Mr. Mark responded in a firm voice and rerouted possibly to the ‘best’ place for chicken.
