CHRISTIAN
“Rise and shine” I said to Jenna’s ears, she stirred but didn’t wake up.
I know I would sound like a Cray obsessed psycho fiance but I wanted badly to talk to her, I missed her and although I wanted her to have more sleep, my need to talk to her was greater.
I tapped her, she stirred again but nothing.
“You sleep like log, have I ever told you?” Her breathing started to fall back into rhythm.
“Wake up!” I yelled this time and her eyes shot open and she looked around her as if she was in sinking ship.
“Good morning, love”
She looked at me and it takes a while before she realised what I have done, she reached out and and jabbed me in my shoulder as hard as she could. I felt like brush of air on my skin but because I wanted her to be happy, I pretended she actually hurt me.
“Serves you right!” She yelled climbing down from the bed. “How many times have I told you not to wake me up! Fuck it’s cold”
“The do you mean?” I asked her raising a brow.
“What part of don’t wake me up do you not understand?” She asked angrily, it’s supposed to turn me on and I start getting ideas but I can’t push past the worry coming up to the surface.
“No, Jenna. Not that. You said it’s cold”
“Yeah, it is” she stood at the bedroom door rubbing her arms.
“It’s not. The heater is on, it’s actually very warm”
She looked around and she shivered, she didn’t think o saw it.
She walked into the bathroom without saying another word. I know better than to keep my mouth shut, I trail after her.
“You feel cold?”
“I guess I just need a hot bath” she said to me with a smile, she picked up her toothpaste and toothbrush.
“What about the antennal, we’ve chosen the private hospital right?” I asked looking for a way to go around the situation so it doesn’t look as if I’m pushing her to a hospital because she confessed she was feeling cold in very warm room.
“Actually, you were the one that chose the hospital, you said you trusted them” she continued to brush her teeth.
“Can we go today?” I asked her.
“What about going next week, it’s my birthday today, I don’t want to spend it in a hospital”
She scrunched her nose like a baby and I was forced to smile at her.
“Yes, we chose next week but we could just go early, I could reschedule a meeting with them today”
“Uh, I don’t think that’s how they work…”
“They’ll do anything I tell them ” I said truthfully but earned a side eye from Jenna.
I smiled again.
“Why are you even bothering about this antenatal, I’ve been pregnant for more than a month now and some pretty shitty stuff have happened to me while carrying this baby and it doesn’t faze him”
“Her” I said correcting her jokingly, but my tone took a more serious stretch. “Because you’ve gone through shitty stuff, you need the antenatal than anyone”
She rinsed her mouth and turned to me.
“So what you’re saying Mr Christian, is that it’s not everyday a pregnant woman gets kidnapped?”
I was treading on at thin line and I didn’t like it.
“Jenna ” I said calmly and she walked up to me and planted a soft kiss on my lips.
“We can wait a few more days. Don’t think for a second that I would never do anything to protect our baby. I would, the baby is fine, and besides, you have a job to go to, remember, you said it was important”
“It is not more important than you, or our baby, I hope I’m making myself clear now, if you think I’ll put you aside for fucking job then you’re wrong ”
She raised her hands in surrender mode and I kisses her, hungrily, fervently and I carried her to the bed and showed her how much I really loved her, by the time we were done with making love, an hour had passed and I knew it was time to leave. As much as I didn’t like to be late, I didn’t want to leave Jenna’s side.
But eventually I rolled out of the bed and got dressed while she watched me without saying a word.
As much as Jenna might try to conceal it, I saw her grimacing when she thought I wasn’t looking, I was watching her through my peripheral vision. I wonder what it was, the flogging from yesterday? Did I go too far, she said she’s alright, she promised.
I turned to her quickly and instantly, her face is devoid of any emotions, like the actress she is, she’s in full control of her expression but that’s her I know she’s acting, because she is trying to control her emotions.
“Are you sure you’re fine?” I asked her, this time more seriously, I can hear the desperation in my voice.
She laid on the bed, naked and exposed to me. She was so beautiful, every inch. I tried to keep my eyes away from her swelling belly and keep it trained on her face instead.
“Why are you asking that?” She asked softly.
I wanted to tell her what I saw but I left it. I wouldn’t take more than four hours on this job and if it required more than four hours, I would give it up.
It was funny because I could stay twenty hours at a my office and not give a fuck.
“I love you” I told her as I meant it.
A seductive smiled spread on her lips.
“And I love you even more”
The smile turned from seductive to challenging.
“Don’t you even dare get me started on this because I would not give up!”
“She you later, Mr Christian” she said, her seductive smile returned.
Fuck it, I wanted to go back them and bury my cock inside her till none of us can think straight.
She waved at fingers at me shooting me away as if she read my expression, I smiled at her once more and I left.
She had my heart in her left palm, she had my soul in her right palm, my beautiful, darling Angel… My light, my life, my death, my beginning and my destruction.
