Chapter 13: A SLEEP WISH
ARIS'S POV
I rolled on the bed tiredly as I try my best to fight off the sleep in my eye as the knock came on my door for the second time. I was just too tried to wake up and I need to sleep more badly.
"I'm coming in" the knock came in again this time with a voice and Nico pushed the door opened as he peeped, I could see his head first before his full body appearing as he slowly walking in. He was already dressed up for work and he looked so surprised as he saw me still in bed.
"Good morning" I greeted sleepily as I sluggishly dragged myself up from the bed and sat on the edge of the bed instead.
He just kept looking at me like I had committed a great sin.
"What's the look for ?" I asked as I subconsciously inspected my self, I found nothing wrong with myself. It was just my normal self with my growing baby bump.
"You are not ready ?" He asked almost terrified.
"Ready for what ?" I asked confused and he sighed.
"Today is Wednesday and you are suppose to see the doctor today. I was planning to drop you off but your not even ready" he responded and then it hit me like a bombshell.
I was indeed expected to go for my check up today and I totally forgotten about it. I remember telling him that he should wait for me today so he could drive me down to the hospital but here I am not ready and I'm just waking up from my sweet and unfinished sleep.
"Oh my goodness ! It totally escaped my mind I'm so sorry" I answered and he shakes his head.
I know he was completely tried of me and my forgetfulness. But he had no other choice than to cope with me like that.
"Just get ready I will wait for you in the living room" he responded and I frowned.
"Are you mad at me ?" I asked ready to apologize, I was a little bit pissed myself.
I did not know what was wrong with me and why I had said that but it had already come out of my mouth and there was no way it can return.
He looked liked I had stab him in the chest as he turned around to look at me.
"No , I just said I would wait for you. I am not mad at you, come on Aris" he answered a little bit frustrated.
"You should have reminded me last night then all this wouldn't have happened" I said again, trying to draw words from his mouth.
I don't know what was going on in my head but it was definitely not my intentions, I just have this strange urge of making him pissed today. Maybe it was because he woke me up when I still wanted to sleep more or probably not but I still wants to see him angry.
"I'm very sorry" he replied sincerely and I immediately felt pity for him and blame myself for being too harsh earlier.
"I would just go take my bath" I answered too, ashamed of myself as I walk out and headed to the bathroom.
I heard the door shut when I entered the bathroom. He had gone out immediately I walked into the bathroom.
I was just so problematic and I couldn't bring myself to hold in my feelings lately and I felt so sorry for Nico who had to cope with every single thing I did.
No matter what it was I did, he would not blame me or shout, neither would he get angry at me. This makes me feel uncomfortable some times especially when he apologize for what he did not do.
I was not all like this, neither have I ever been like this. I suspect it was this pregnancy that was making my emotions sprout, I had no control over it, no matter how hard I try to subdue it, it keeps coming back stronger.
I was done bathing and I put on a green long gown, Trish had just gifted me that gown with some other more because my baby bump was growing and all the cloth I had was getting uncomfortable for me.
I walked out of my room only to meet him cooking in the kitchen. He had taken off his suit jacket and was only wearing his white shirt and trouser. He had and apron on as he chopped the spring onions like a professional chef on tv shows, which I stay at home all day watching.
I watched him rolled the sleeve of his shirt as it kept making him uncomfortable, he look so hot just doing that little thing, and even more hot as I watched him unbuttoned his shirt, just three buttons where down and I could clearly see his chest and muscles all tensed as he continued chopping the spring onions.
Why was he cooking all of a sudden ? Didn't he not just tell me we were late ? Is he not going to work ? I stood right there as the question kept popping up in my head.
I had no idea what he was doing but if he was trying to seduce me he was slowly and effortlessly doing so.
I could not take my eye off him as he cooked and I fantasized.
"Hey you done ?" He asked as soon as we locked eye and my heart skipped a beat, I didn't know what to do as he stared at me.
"Yea" I answered in a small voice almost forgetting how to breathe.
"Come over here" he responded with a smile as he motioned his hands signifying me to come closer to the kitchen.
"What are you doing?" I asked and he smiled.
"You where craving for it when you were asleep" he answered and I frowned.
I was confused .
"You don't remember telling me you wanted pasta ?" He asked as he saw the look on my face.
"Oh did I ?" I asked I don't really remember telling him something like that last night and how did he know what I was saying at night when we stay in separate rooms.
"I guess I took your sleep talk wish too serious" he answered with a chuckle.
