Chapter 3 3

"Elle, I'm going to cum..." He said in a hoarse voice.

He thrusted in me more roughly and harder. I felt my body begin to shake.

Moment later I just reached my fifth or sixth orgasm? Or I don't know, I already lost count, before he reached his.

He buried himself deep inside me and spilled his seed.

He collapsed on top of me, his head was resting on my neck. We're breathing heavily. My eyelids are heavy. I want to sleep. So I closed my eyes and prepared to drift away.

But then when his breathing became stable, he started kissing my neck again. And squeeze my two mountains with his hands.

Oh shit! I am tired. Why does this man seem to have no fatigue? He was a while ago huh? I opened my eyes and looked at him.

"Babe, can we please rest now? Can I sleep?" He stopped from what he was doing. And look at me with menace. "What? No. You can't sleep. You started it. So let's finish it, just this one." Irritation was visible on his baritone voice. "Last one." He pleaded.

"But I'm too sleepy to do another round." I said in a weary voice, I even know. I wanted to open my eyes but they closed on their own.

He let off an annoyed growl before he withdrew 'his' inside of me, and lay next to me annoyed.

I just smiled. Because of his behavior. When you said he was not wearing anything.

He murmured something, but I couldn't understand what it was.

I turned sideways and hugged him. I rested my head in his firm chest, I even heard his heartbeat. I like the sound of it. It's like a soft melody in my ears.

I hugged him even tighter. And uttered my word.

"I love you Nathan."

I felt his body stiffened and I could also feel his gaze on me. Before I fell asleep.

*****

The next day I woke up alone in bed. I heard some drops of water coming from the bathroom.

I smiled as I remembered what happened last night. He seems to be very thirsty. And it seems he doesn't want to stop.

It's our second time doing those 'things', but it feels like it's my first time. The pain is still there.

I covered myself and lifted myself upright. Now I feel the sore between my thighs.

What Nate did last night was really bad, we've done it a few times. He's a monster in bed.

I walked one by one to Nate's closet and got some clothes, and put them on.

Nate's dress was big and covered half of my thigh.

Then I picked up our clothes that are still on the floor one by one. I fixed the bed before leaving the room to cook breakfast.

I opened his fridge, it was empty except for a beer-in-a-can, three pieces of eggs, half of a loaf of bread and a jug of water.

Next I opened the freezer. Only to see the unopened pack of bacon, the only content in it, which you can hardly see because of the thickness of the ice covering it.

My jaw dropped open at what I saw. Really? What does this man eat? Is he still grocery shopping? Is that's why there's a lot of take out boxes in his kitchen counter?

I remind myself to drop in some grocery store later, after work.

I just took bacon and eggs and cooked them. I toasted the loaf bread into the toaster.

After I finished cooking, Nate also entered the kitchen.

"Good morning." I greeted without looking at him.

I put down what I cooked first and then looked at him with a smile. He's all set and ready to go.

I scanned him and frowned at what I noticed.

"What?" He asked when he noticed my frown.

"Really babe? How many years have you been putting on a tie and you don't seem to know how to tie it yet?" I asked him. He looked at me in astonishment. And look down at his necktie. I saw how his ear was red.

I just shook my head and approached him to tie his tie properly. While I'm fixing his tie, I felt his gaze was on me.

"There you go. Look better." I said after I finished fixing his tie. I looked at him first. Before I smile at him. He was just looking intently at me.

"Sit down to eat. I'll just make some coffee." He didn't say a word, but he followed what I said. He sat in the chair.

I went to his cupboard, and took out the ingredients for making coffee. I make two cups of coffee. After that I put the coffee I made on the table and sat down in the chair opposite him. And started eating too.

"By the way, I'm going to the grocery store later. I'll take you grocery shopping. Too bad your refrigerator is empty. And I guess you have no intention of going grocery shopping. Would you like to come with me?" I asked him. And looked at him.

"You don't have to." He said sparingly then took a sip of coffee.

"No. I have to. I insist, I'll pay for it too. Tsk. I'll be the one to buy it. So you can eat something sensible." I just said it. And shrugged.

"What do you care?" He said in a monotonous voice. I raised my eyebrows.

"I know something because I'm your wife. And this is also for your own good. Just keep buying take out. Or instant food. It's not good for your health. I don't want to be come a widow at this age." I said in mock annoyance.

"Well, I don't give a f*ck."

"Whatever Nathan. Just let me buy you groceries." I said with finality in my voice. He didn't speak anymore.

What happened to this man? Why does he seem to have a temper? It seems like just last night he was begging me to give in, but now he's back to being cold?

"Babe, I'll go to your office later and we'll have lunch together. Wait for me, huh?" I said, when we were in the living room and he was leaving.

"I'm busy. I don't think I can entertain you later." He said. And I handed him his suitcase.

"I'll only come during your lunch break. You don't have to entertain me." He just shrugged and walked towards the door.

"Babe wait up." He stopped and looked at me so I immediately walked closer to him, and I leaned in to kiss him on the lips. "Goodbye. Be careful when driving. I love you" I said sweetly. And he smiled.

He smiled lightly and turned away. I was stunned by his smile. Did he really smile at me?

I finished my work as fast as I could. Just so I can cook lunch for Nate and me. It's still one o'clock in the morning.

"Karyl, do I still have a meeting this morning?" I asked my secretary.

"No more ma'am. Later at 3pm you have a meeting with the board members, With Mr. Gibb ma'am." Polite answer her.

"Okay." I replied sparingly then smiled at her. "By the way, Karyl, if anyone is ever looking for me now, tell them that I just went there until one pm for something important. Ok?"

"Yes ma'am."

I left the hospital and went to my house with Nathan, the house that dad gave me. It's closer to the hospital than Nate's condo unit.

After I arrived, I immediately went to the kitchen and then I prepared the ingredients. Before I started cooking.

After cooking, I got ready. I put on clothes first because I was sweating. And left the house.

Nate's company is also far from here, so it was 12:30 when I reached it.

I immediately went to the floor where Nate's office is. I know this because I have already been there, visiting him since we were not married.

When I got there, there was no one, maybe because it was still lunch break. So I was nervous that Nate might not be there anymore. Why did it take me so long to cook?

I hesitated to open the door because Nate might not be there like when I always visited him here. He's a busy person. I can only catch up with him here. Sometimes he has a lunch meeting.

But in the end I opened it, and I smiled because I caught him looking at the folder he was holding, I guess he was reading it.

"Hi babe. I'm sorry it took me so long, because I was still cooking our lunch." I promised with a smile as I walked towards the couch and placed the food on the center table.

He put the folder down. And looked at me. I approached him and kissed him.

"Come on, let's eat. You'll do your work later." And he was pulled. It gave in and stood up.

"You shouldn't have bothered yourself." He said without looking at me.

"You should get used to it. Because I come here every day. Whether you like it or until you like it." I said and wiggled my eyebrows at him. He just shook his head. So I laughed.

"Did you wait for me?" I asked as soon as we sat down.

"No." He answered frugally.

I was embarrassed. "You still deny it. It's obvious you're waiting for me." I said laughing, then put food on his plate.

"Don't assume too much. I just finished my work." He said "Let me do that, I'm not a child anymore for you to serve me like that." He tugged and took the serving spoon and he put it on his plate. It's good and it's responding.

"Gosh, you're still embarrassed. I'm your wife, so I'm a baby now." I said with a smile while looking at him who was also looking at me with a surprised look in his eyes. "Are you thrilled?" I asked mockingly and laughed.

"You're crazy." That's all he said.

And like I said, I go to Nate's office every day. I also moved to his condo. But sometimes I will visit our house. Even though the schedule is hectic, I try to insert cooking lunch.

Yesterday I got rained on because of a sudden downpour, I'm on my way back to the hospital because I'm sick. I hope to take a taxi and let our driver get my car. When I was waiting for a taxi, it suddenly rained heavily. And that's what I read.

So now, I was suffering in severe headache. And I think I have a fever, my body feels bruised. It's like all my energy was drained. I don't think I can still go to Nate's company.

This morning I almost couldn't get up because of the pain in my body. But because I didn't want to reveal it to Nate, I got up and did what I used to do.

Nate still remains the same. There are times when he is in a mood, when he doesn't show his cold side, but not in the way he was sweet to me.

But most of the time he's cold, and sometimes mad especially when he asks for another round but I just put him to sleep, because I'm not like him that the energy lasts all night. Sometimes I can feel that he avoids me, especially when I tell him that I love him.

This day is special to me so even though I feel bad I still cook. Today is my birthday, all my co-workers have congratulated me as well as my sister, I told Nathan to wait for me because we will eat together. But I didn't say it was my birthday.

When I arrived at his office, I didn't knock because I knew he was used to me coming here.

But when I opened the door there was no one. My forehead is wrinkled. I went out and saw the woman who I guess is in her mid thirties, I guess her secretary.

"Excuse me. Where's Nathan?" I tried to make my voice clear because it was hoarse. He must have noticed my voice but he didn't try to ask.

"Sorry ma'am because sir Nathan is not here. It's one of his friends' birthday and he came here earlier." He said politely.

"Ok" I cleared my throat because I felt like my voice was going to run out. "Thank you." I mouthed at her. "By the way. Here." I said softly so that he wouldn't notice that my voice was hoarse. And gave him what I cooked. "That's for Hope, Nate, because it looks like he doesn't need it anymore. That's up to you." I tug and smile at her.

She accepted it and peeked inside.

"Oh ma'am, it's a shame there's so much food, but thank you." She said happily.

I just smiled and left.

I wanted to cry but I tried to hold it because someone might see me.

That feeling that you want to be with him on your birthday but he's not there. I'm used to celebrating my birthday alone, but I was hoping to be with him.

I went straight to the house that dad gave me. I feel bad. I went straight to the room and didn't even bother to get dressed. I cry my heart out. I don't know but I just want to cry and cry.

My feelings are getting heavier, probably because of the fact that Nate chose to be with his friends more than me.

Well, who am I to him? I'm just his unwanted wife for Pete's sake. I don't even think he knows when my birthday is. Or does he really know? I'm the only one struggling to squeeze myself into him. I'm the only one who loves both of us.

I covered myself in a blanket as tight as I can, just to lessen the coldness I feel right now. And to ease the sadness. " I mouthed at her. "By the way. Here." I said softly so that he wouldn't notice that my voice was hoarse. And gave him what I cooked. "That's for Hope, Nate, because it looks like he doesn't need it anymore. That's up to you." I tug and smile at her.

She accepted it and peeked inside.

"Oh ma'am, it's a shame there's so much food, but thank you." She said happily.

I just smiled and left.
