Nate look at her as he recite every word of the Reverend . Her childish face held a soft smile for him that could melt any heart apart from his Nate thought he did not know when he pronounce them as couples until his next word bring him back to reality
"you may kiss your bride"
Nate hesitate the bend to claim her lips and then pull away his parent walk towards her to give her their blessings his Dad was unusually soft and tender towards her that makes him jealous her aunt walk up to him
"congratulations please take care of her"
He nod slowly and give her a reasurring smile after a lot of compliments from friends and family Nate took her home he showed her her room but she was sad they are not sharing the same room
"aren't we husband and wife? then let's share the same room.
Nate shake his head curtly
"I can't sleep in this big room alone Nate I will be scared"
"you won't"
"I will please Nate at least for your child sake.she said giving him her best puppy eyes he couldn't resist Nate roll his eyes and walk away returning later with his bag .
after bathing he lie down on the bed with out sparing her a glance . but she was happy she was able to blackmail him into sleeping with her then she relaxed and sleep
Nate sensing she have sleep he went outside and begin to smoke, his life have change in the space of one month, he has a wife and a child coming . he continue to smoke until he is full then left to join his wife. He saw she has kicked off the blanket from her body so he bent down to cover but pause to put his hand on her stomach caressing it which earn a moan from Amanda then he covered her and lie by her side , staring at her until he finally sleep off.
Nate wake the next morning finding the bed empty he went downstairs to check her but find her in the kitchen making pancake . he saw as her focus was on her cooking. he walk to the kitchen to make coffee
"Nate you are awake ! look I make you break fast isn't it delicious?
Nate look Crossly from the food to her. He couldn't deny the food did not look delicious but he did not want to eat with her then his eyes drop at her smiling face then her lips then return to her eyes
"I don't want to eat"
"why ? I made alot of efforts to make it look delicious". Nate heard the hurt in her voice but turn away then he heard her crying, he felt a tinge in his heart but didn't go and comfort her. all through that day he locked himself in his study. Amanda was feeling bored and a little dizzy so she went to the bedroom to have some rest she was thinking about Nate and their baby until she fall into an uneasy sleep . she wake up and look at the alarm clock it was 10:56 pm she couldn't find Nate so she went downstairs to find Nate smoking she was surprised and irritated.
"you smoke?
Nate give her the it-none-of -your- business look then continue smoking
Amanda glared at the cigarette in his hand , she snatch the cigarette and throw it on the floor which made him smirk but he glared at her which to his surprise, she glared back making her pretty face more cute
"Don't poke into other people's business"
"you are my business because you are my husband"
"am I" Nate said as he move closer to her then wrap his hand around her waist drawing her to him ."prove it"
Amanda was tensed , she swallowed nervously. she put her hand on his chest to refrain him from kissing her but his hungry gaze is on her lips
"I....I.....I..... you should not smoke it's not good for your health. Amanda said looking at him which was a mistake as he claim her lips harshly but then tenderly. Amanda could not breathe , she try to pull but couldn't , a second later he pull away and shoot her his best glare causing Amanda to flinch , but he said nothing but turn and walk inside the house. she bit her lower lip to prevent herself from crying as she watch him enter the house. she cleaned her eyes and enter inside. she gently lie down on the bed thinking of every thing happening in her life , before she slept off
