Chapter 15
"You can't stand me or you just can't stand the fact l caught you doing what you claimed is disgusting "I bickered, trying to get his attention and he turned to look at me.
He huffed and took the briefcase which was on the table.
"Whatever! "He rolled his eyes. "I'm leaving and there's nothing you can do to stop me "he blurted out, blatantly and l scoffed.
"But it's our honeymoon which implies you are not suppose to be working during.. now! "I half yelled, brusquely and he chuckled.
"Hold on; why are you so persistent on letting me leave? You're gonna miss me, huh? "He asked with a smug smile and I gave an eye roll.
"Miss, my butt! Of course not! "I blabbed and crossed my arms, miffed.
"Yeah, right! Just admit it, babe .. you are gonna miss me, just say it. I won't kill you "he asserted and placed his hands on the table.
"You can go, okay? I'm not gonna stop you and don't call me babe, it sounds so disgusting "I rasped and he shrugged. He took his briefcase and walked away.
"Bye. Don't ever come back! "I yelled to his hearing and he laughed.
"Well, we'll see about that "
After eating, I cleared the table and headed upstairs. Getting to my room, I slumped on the bed.
My eyes moved round the ceilings and rose up, finding nothing fascinating to stare at. I took the remote and switched on the TV.
But just then, the lights went out. I sighed and dropped the remote. Perhaps there's something wrong with the circuit.
I sighed and sighed over and over again. Gosh, I feel so lonely, who knew I would miss Andre this much. Like l really miss him .. no one to talk to or fight with.
I just hope he comes soon. Who am l kidding? He will probably return in the evening. Does Andre's company really have a branch in Paris?
Well, that's great. It means I got married to the wealthiest husband ever. Anyways, I should take a nap, that should keep me occupied for sometime.
AN HOUR LATER
I rolled on the bed unable to fall asleep. Suddenly, an heavy rainstorm started and rushed downstairs to lock up the windows.
Like l knew! I told him not to go out but he wouldn't listen. Andre is so stubborn, gosh!
I just hope Andre isn't out there in the open else he might catch a cold and get an high fever.
Even if he knew this would happen, I know he still won't get out from the rain. He's so stupid to think of something as reasonable as that.
Just then, I heard the gates opening and stood up to have a look through the window. It was Andre's car, he's back!
I didn't realize when my lips turned up in a smile and covered my mouth. Okay, Ava. Get a grip on yourself, don't act all excited or he will think you missed him while he was away which you actually do though but not really.
Oh, l've gone crazy! I laid back on the couch and took my phone, pretending to be busy on it. He will be here any minute.
The doors opened and I adjusted myself on the couch.
"Ava, help me "I heard Andre waver and when l looked up at him, he was shivering profusely. He was slightly drenched from the rain.
"Oh my goodness! What happened to you, Andre? "I shrieked, worriedly and walked up to him.
I took his briefcase from his grasp and keep it at a corner. I helped him walk up to the couch and made him sit. I reached out to his buttons but he held my hands.
"Are you trying to rape me? "He asked, and l slapped his hand off.
"Coward! Are you thinking of that at this moment? You are dying! "I yelled out to him and fastened his buttons open.
I toon off his suits and shoes, including his socks. I ran upstairs and returned with dried clothes and a blanket for him to cover up.
"I can change myself "he persisted and glared at him.
"Quit being stubborn, already! "
He was still shivering. What should l do now? I'm not too familiar with all these stuffs. My head is completely blank right now.
"Ava, my phone is in .. I think I felt it in the car. Please help me get and call a doctor "he quivered and l flared up.
"Are you crazy? What makes you think I would go out under this heavy rain just to get your f*cking phone?! Besides-- "
"Ava, l'm freezing. Just go get the phone!! "He yelled, cutting me off abruptly.
"Well, I don't-- Gosh! "I hit my forehead and went to get an umbrella.
As I searched for the doctor's phone number on his phone and finally found it, my eyes caught something.
Her picture! I tapped on the photo and zoomed the picture-- What the F! She's so freaking busty!
No! I can't take the risk! I can't call her. She might rape Andre-- no, he will, wholeheartedly, give in.
"Andre, her number isn't going through "I lied, smoothly and he hissed.
"Call the nurse then. Don't you have any sense? "He yelped and I rolled my eyes.
"I ain't the one with a high fever here "I muttered, defiant and searched for the nurse's number.
It turns out she's not an exception. I guess I will just have to be the doctor now. But how do l do it?
Hold on, I think l have an idea. Online tutorials!
I exhaled, deeply, watching Andre sleep his head off, peacefully. It wasn't very easy getting his temperature to cool down.
I had to do all sort of whatever the tutorial said, even made him soup but I must admit I enjoyed every bit of it.
I've never really treated anyone before now but it feels great, you know. And l got to see the weaker side of him. I laughed out loud.
And I really don't know but l'm beginning to like him. I know we fight and exchange words a lot but I think it brought us closer to each other.
I stared intently at him for a long while before dragging my tired feet to the bathroom. I took a cold bath and changed into a pink negligee.
I laid on the bed besides Andre and covered up with the duvet. I extended my hand to caress his face but it seemed he was awake all this while as he grabbed my hand and pulled me to himself.
"A-Andre, what are you doing? "I stuttered, freaked out and he opened his eyes.
"I should be asking you that question, Ava so what were you trying to do extending your hand to my face, huh? "He asked with a smirk and l coughed, slightly, taking my gaze elsewhere.
"Umm. I-l actually - No! I just wanted to check your temperature. Yes, that's exactly what l was doing "I stammered and feigned a smile.
"Jeez! You will never change, Ava "he laughed but stopped when his eyes met with my negligee. His eyes widened and adjusted the duvet but I held it to myself.
"Ooh! Were you planning to seduce me? " His eyes dilated as he removed the duvet completely. I felt completely unclad under his gaze and curled up my knees. I shook my head, vigorously - negative.
"Ava? "He called, coming closer while l moved backwards, having a feeling I knew what he's driving at.
"Y-Yes "
"Don't you think it's time? "He queried, softly and l gasped.
I knew it! But I can't believe Andre is openly asking me for s*x. I'm practically not ready for this. Yeah, I know he's my husband and has every right to have me.
"I'm not ready, yet. Please understand "I said, softly and he sighed.
"Can l at least get a hug? "He asked and I hesitated before nodding.
I rose up and embraced him ...
NEXT MORNING
"Magda, I would like bacon and cheese sandwich for breakfast, okay? "I instructed and she nodded.
"But not for Andre. He will have broth soup, he's not feeling too well "I added and she nodded again.
I turned to walk away.
"How is he now? "She asked and I frowned, deeply. I turned, crossing my arms.
"I just wanted to know how he is. Nothing more "she rasped with an awkward smile.
"He's fine now "I stated, defiantly and walked away to the dinning room.
"Ain't l a jealous wife? "
"Andre, you are here. Morning "I said, sitting down and he nodded, slowly.
"Morning "he said and looked at my phone. I glanced at him and noticed him staring at me. I thought of what could be making him stare at me.
"What is it, Andre? You've been staring at me for long now "I questioned, raising my brows and he laughed.
"I know you did it on purpose "he said with a smug smile and l furrowed my brows.
"Did what? "
"You lied that the doctor and nurse's numbers weren't going through whereas you didn't even call them "he said and i looked downwards, avoiding his gaze.
How did he find out?
