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's been here before 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 yown. I wanted to open my eyes but they close on their own.
He let off an annoyed growl before he withdrew 'his' inside of me, and annoyed to lie down next to me.
I just smiled. Because of his behavior. Maybe he didn't do 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 tightened my hug with him. And uttered my word.
"I love you Nathan."
I felt his body stiffened and I also felt his gaze on me. Before I was swept away by drowsiness.
*****
The next day I woke up alone in bed. I heard some drops of water came from the bathroom.
I smiled as I remembered What happened last night. He looks very thirsty. And he didn't seem to want to stop.
It's our second time doing those 'thing', 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 bad, we did it a few times. He's a monster in bed.
I slowly walked to Nate's closet and got a dress, and put it on.
Big Nate's dress covered up to half of my thigh.
Then I picked up one by one our clothes that are still on the floor to this day. I made the bed before I left the room to cook breakfast.
I opened her refrigerator, it was empty other than beer-in-a-can, three pieces of eggs, half full loaf bread and a pitcher of water.
Next I opened The freezer. Only to see the unopened pack of bacon, the only content in it, that you can hardly face because of the thickness of the ice that wraps it.
My jaw drop-opened on what I saw. Really? What is this man eating? Is he still grocery shopping? Is that's the 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 the bacon and eggs and cooked that. I toasted the loaf bread into the toaster.
After I cooked, Nate also entered the kitchen.
"Good morning." I greet without looking at him.
I put down the ones I cooked first and then he looked at me with a smile. He's all set and ready to go.
I scanned him and knitted my forehead to what I noticed.
"What?" He asked when he noticed the frown on my forehead.
"Really babe? How many years have you been wearing a tie and you don't seem to know how to tie it yet?" I ask him. He looked at me in astonishment. And look down to his necktie. I saw how red his ear was.
I was just shaken 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 glanced 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. It sat on the chair.
I went to his cupboard, and picked up the coffee -making ingredients. I make two cups of coffee. After that I put my coffee on the table and sat in the chair in front of him. And also started eating.
"By the way, I'm going to the grocery store later. I'll buy you a grocery. It's a pity your refrigerator is empty. And I guess you don't plan to go to the grocery store. Would you like to come with me?" I asked him. And he looked.
"You don't have to." He said sparingly and then sipped coffee.
"No. I have to. I insist, I'll also pay. Tsk. I'll be the one to buy. It's as if you have something sensible to eat." I just said. And shrugged.
"What do you know?" He said in a monotonous voice. I raised my eyebrow.
"May pakealam ako kasi asawa kita. And this is also for your own good. You always buy take outs. Or instant foods. It's not good for your health. I don't want to be a widow in this age. " I said in a mock annoyance.
"Well, I don't give a f*ck."
"Whatever Nathan. Just go grocery shopping." I said with finality in my voice. It has not spoken yet.
What happened to this man. Why does he seem so hot -headed? It seems like last night he was still begging me to give in, but now he's back to being cold?
"Babe, I'll go to your office later so we can 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 go during your lunch break. You don't have to entertain me." He just shrugged and walked to the door.
"Babe wait up." He stopped and looked at me so I immediately walked closer to him, and I squatted down to just kiss him on the lips. "Goodbye. Be careful driving. I love you" I said sweetly. And he smiled.
He smiled sparingly and turned away. I was stunned because of his smile. Did he really smiled at me?
***** CONTINUATION *****
I finished my work as fast as I could. It's just that Nate and I can still cook lunch. It's still dyes in the morning.
"Karyl, do I still have a meeting this morning?" I asked my secretary.
"No more ma'am. Later at 3pm you will have a meeting with the board members, With Mr. Gibb ma'am." He answered politely.
"Ok." I answered sparingly then smiled at him. "By the way Karyl, if ever someone is looking for me now tell me something important I just went until one pm. Ok?"
"Yes ma'am."
I left the hospital and went to Nathan and I's house, the house that dad gave me. It's closer to the hospital than Nate's condo unit.
When I arrived I immediately went to the kitchen and then I prepared the ingredients. Before I started to cooking.
After I cooked I was ready. I got dressed first because I was sweating. And left the house.
Nate's company is also far from here so it was 12:30 when I arrived.
I immediately went to the floor where Nate's office was. I have memorized it because I have already been there, visiting him since we were not married.
When I got there there were no human beings maybe because lunch break yet. So I was nervous that Nate might not be there anymore. Why did I take so long to cook?
I hesitated to open the door because Nate might not be there like when I always visit him here. He's a busy person. I can only reach him here once. Sometimes he has a lunch meeting.
But finally 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 I took so long, I even cooked our lunch." I smiled 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. Your job will be later." And he was pulled. He let go and stood up.
"You shouldn't 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 wiggle my eyebrows at him. He was just shaken. So I laughed.
"Did you wait for me?" I asked as we sat down.
"No." He answered sparingly.
Napaismid naman ako. "You still deny it. Obviously you're waiting for me." I said laughing, then food was put on her plate.
"Don't assumed too much. I just finished my work." He said "Let me do that, I'm not young anymore for you to serve like that." He tugged and took the serving spoon and he put it on his plate. It's good and it answers.
"Gosh, you're still embarrassed. You're my wife, so you're a baby now." Smiling statement I once looked at him who was also looking at me with surprised look in his eyes. "Are you shaking?" I asked mockingly and laugh.
"You're crazy." That's all he said.
And like I said, I go to Nate's office every day. I also move to his condo. But sometimes I will visit our house. Although hectic The schedule I force inserts cooking lunch.
Yesterday it rained on me because of the sudden downpour, I was on my way back to the hospital in case I was injured. I hope I'll take a taxi and I'll just get this car to our driver. Case 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 feel like I have a fever, I feel like my body has been beaten. It's like all my energy was drained. I don't think I can even go to Nate's company.
This morning I could hardly get up because of the pain in my body. But because I didn't want to reveal it to Nate, so I got up and did what I used to do.
Nate still remain the same. There are times when he's in the mood, he doesn't show his cold side, but not in the way he's been 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 who has all -night energy. Sometimes I also 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. It's my birthday today, all my co -workers as well as Ate greeted me, I also 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 anymore because I knew he was used to me coming here.
But when I opened the door no one was there. My forehead is knit. I went out and saw the babe who was in my mid thirties, I guess her secretary.
"Excuse me. Where's Nathan?" I tried to make my voice clear because it was hoarse. He probably noticed my voice but he didn't try to ask.
"I'm sorry ma'am, sir Nathan isn't here. It's the birthday of one of his friends and he went here earlier." He said politely.
"Ok s-sige." I cleared my throat because I feel like my voice is running out. "Thank you." I mouthed at her. "By the way. Here." I said softly so that he wouldn't be sharp. My voice was hoarse. And gave him What I cooked. "I hope that's for Nate, in case it looks like he doesn't need it anymore. It's just you." I tug and smile at her.
He accepted it and peeked at the flesh.
"Oh, ma'am, it's embarrassing, I've already prepared so much food, but thank you." He said happily.
I just smiled and left.
I wanted to cry but I tried to hold it because maybe someone would see me.
That feeling that you want to be with him on your birthday but he's not there. I used to celebrate my birthday alone, but I hoped I could be with him.
I'm going straight to the house that dad gave me. I feel bad. I went straight to the bedroom and didn't bother to get dressed. I cry my heart 'out. I don't know but I just want to cry and cry.
I feel even heavier, maybe with the thought 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 am the only one who loves the two of us.
I covered myself in a blanket as tight as I can, just to lessen the coldness I feel right now. And to lessen the sadness.
