When I enter the room I find him at the table with a bowl of soup. It looks like he has eaten half of it. “I was starting to think that you ran away again.”
“No,” I smile at him and take the seat next to him. “I was talking with your mother about your health. She is thrilled that you have been eating and are going to take better care of yourself.”
He pulls me over onto his lap. “I love you Soph.” He brushes hair from my face and kisses the corners of my mouth. “I will do whatever it takes to keep you and that baby in my life.”
“Good, then finish that soup so I can get you some sunlight.” I get off his lap and head to the closet. He obviously hasn’t done any self care. I pull out a pair of jeans, boxers and a t-shirt and place them in the bathroom. I see all my things laying around the bathroom, just the way I left it. My lotion on the counter, toothbrush in the cup, brush on the shelf by the shower. He left me here.
I come back out to see Darius drinking the soup. “You know I really hate this stuff.” He makes a gross face as he puts the bowl down.
“Well, don’t get sick on me and you won’t have to eat it.” I point back to the bathroom. “I want you to take a shower and dress so that we can go for a walk.”
“What do I get if I do?”
“You get a mate with patience at the end of the day.” I stand firm. He is going to do this.
“I might be too sick to wash myself. I might need you to help me.” I can see the smirk on his lips. He is such a perv.
“If you are well enough for sex then you are well enough to take a shower. Now, I am not waiting all day.”
He stalks towards me. “You are starting to sound like my mother.”
“At least her you listen to.”
“Not without you here I didn’t. For the first time in my life I defied my mother. I just couldn’t do it without you.” He wraps his arms around me. “You are all I want.”
“Take a shower Darius.”
He groans. “Fine, but you better be here when I get out.”
“I am not going anywhere.”
He kisses me full force. He isn’t going to let up for as long as I know him. Sometimes I think he is trying to devour me whole. I push him back and then toward the bathroom. “Don’t come out until you are clean.”
He laughs. “I don’t think I can clean my mind.”
“You are such a perv.”
“With you by my side, how could I not be?” I close the door to the bathroom on his face. He needs to get clean damn it.
While he is in there I open the door and the draps to air it out in the room. Someone comes by to take the bowl back to the kitchen. I ask for them to bring someone to deal with the bedding and laundry. They just smile at me. I am hoping that they are doing that. I clean up all around the room. There are clothes everywhere. This is the dirtiest room I have ever been in. I am about a quarter of the way through cleaning it when he comes out of the bathroom. He has on the clean clothes, brushed hair, he shaved, it looks like he even brushed his teeth.
“Does this meet the approval of the mother of my child?”
I put my hands on my hips. “Yes it does. Finally someone I can take in public.”
“Why can’t we just stay naked in bed all day?” He smirks at me.
“For one, you haven’t been outside in two months. For another, this room is gross, it needs to be cleaned. I have someone coming by to help with that. At least I hope I do. I asked. We shall see.” I come forward and take his arm. “I want you to come for a walk with me.”
“For you anything.” He looks down at me with pure adoration. He lets me lead him into the hall and right outside.
