Chereads / You’re Mine, Forever / Chapter 27 - Chapter 26

Chapter 27 - Chapter 26

"So how was the honeymoon?", my sneaky friend Jodel asked.

I was removing my lab coat and placing it inside my locker when she caught me in the employee's locker room. Not that I was having a spat with my friends, but I just wanted to avoid their teasing.

I blushed profusely while I rolled my eyes heavenward.

"I knew it! He's a biggie!", she shrieked.

"Shush! Someone might hear you", I reprimanded her but I couldn't help the slight smile that appeared on my lips.

"He's that good huh?", she pursed her lips.

"Oh, stop it!", I giggled.

"Only a woman with no pussy will turn that handsome hunk down, I tell you", Mina.

I didn't know she was right behind us. We turned around and saw her hanging her stethoscope on her nape.

"Oh, shut up you two. Don't you have work to do?", I complained, laughing softly.

"We do but we're still busy with you", Jodel giggled.

"Oh, for God's sake, leave me alone", I shook my head but still smiling. I hurriedly walked past them, leaving them both baffled.

"Hey! You can't escape us. This is more important", Jodel.

They both tried to catch up with me.

"Your patient's BP is 81 over 47", Mina informed her.

"Oh shit! Wait, I'll be right back", then she left.

Mina and I were left shaking our heads.

"She's so nosy", Mina sighed.

"She won't be our Jodel if she isn't".

"So, now you tell me. How was it?", her brows arched.

"Not you, too!", I exclaimed.

"I wanna know. I'm your BFF", she pouted.

"I- it was fine".

"Just fine?", she drawled.

"No", I gave out a small laugh. "Actually it was great. I've got nothing to compare it with. He's so gentle, so handsome, so caring, so loving... Do you think it's odd for me to feel this?"

"Feel what?"

'"I don't know, I can't explain it. I just met him and I barely knew the guy but I'm having this strange feelings towards him. It's scaring me Mina", I frowned.

"He's your husband Nic".

"I know. It's just that... it frightens me".

"Are you in love with him?"

"What?! No! That's impossible".

"Maybe you are. It could happen fast in some cases."

"Mina, you know we didn't start in a normal relationship".

"Then try to get to know him. People fall in love even at first meet-ups, Nicolaa".

I bit my lip. She wasn't aware I saw Eric before in my dreams. Several times, in fact. No one knew, but me. I never told anyone for they might find it strange but I was tempted to tell her though.

I took a deep breath to calm myself.

No, I'm not going to tell anyone.

It was a kept secret that I couldn't disclose.

"Why not give it a chance? Maybe you'll learn to love him. You have a good man in your life now. Isn't that what you wanted?"

I smiled shyly at her and bit my lower lip. With that gesture she knew that what she said was right.

━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━

"Hi babe".

"H-hi", I hesitated. Lately that's the endearment he kept using on me.

I couldn't deny that I liked it though.

"Are you ready to go home with me?"

"I will be so please give me five more minutes. We just had our endorsements. You don't have to come, I'll take a ride home instead".

"No wife of mine is allowed to take the bus. I'll wait for you here at the parking lot".

Then the line went off.

Parking lot? That meant he was here?!

But it's almost eight o'clock. His office hours were only open until five in the evening.

Jeez! He waited for three hours and didn't inform me?!

I hastily gathered my things and left the Intensive Care Unit like a speed of lightning.

He must be very hungry now.

Oh, poor Eric.

I tried to catch my breath when I reached the parking lot. I was huffing like a big, bad wolf.

I searched for his parked Lamborghini but I couldn't find it.

My mobile phone rang again.

"Where are you?", I answered for I knew it was him calling.

"I'm here?"

"Here where?", I frowned.

"Right behind you".

I turned around with my phone still on my ear. And there he was, standing beside his car with a bouquet of red roses in his right hand, smiling at me.

"Come closer", he said through the phone.

I giggled and shook my head.

"Uh-uh, don't turn your phone off. You're still at least ten yards away from me."

"What are you doing?", I smiled. I felt like a teenager with a crush.

"Talking to my wife on the phone. Come, come, hurry now. I want to greet you properly."

I started walking towards him.

"It's not my birthday, Eric." I teased.

"I know. It's our first month together as husband and wife today that's why we're celebrating tonight", he grinned.

My eyes widened. Speechless.

Oh my God! I forgot.

"How are we going to celebrate then?", I asked in a small voice. Quite embarrassed because I didn't prepare any presents for him. I stopped walking when I was only one yard away from him now.

"Yes", he turned off his phone and offered me the roses. I took it and smelled its sweet scent.

"Thank you very much for the flowers."

He nodded and gave me a sardonic smile.

"You're most welcome, my wife. Come, kiss me."

I was mesmerized by that deep blue sea colored eyes of his that I immediately tiptoed and kissed him on the cheek, however he had another plan though. He wrapped his arms around my waist, flowers still in my hands and almost carried me to deepened our kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck. Our tongues started playing together.

I was so lost in his sensual embrace, I forgot we were in a public place.

Three minutes had gone by but still we were kissing not until I heard people started whooping and clapping and calling my name.

Shit! That's Jodel's yelling.

I stopped kissing him and saw that we were almost surrounded by my colleagues at work. I buried my reddened face upon his neck and he chuckled.

God! My friends saw me losing my head for this man.

I was so crazy.

They kept teasing us and I bit my lip. Blushing profusely.

"What can I say? I'm such a lucky guy", he told the crowd.

I pinched him on his side gently, and the more he chuckled.

"We're going now, take care everyone", he waved at them and ushered me towards his car.

My friends gave me teasing smiles.

Jeez! Tomorrow would be another difficult day at work for sure.

Before he opened his car door, he held my face and kissed me chastely on the lips again. He brushed his right thumb on them and bit his lower lip as if tasting me. I swallowed.

Shocks!

He's doing it again.

Luring me into his handsomeness.

Into his hands.

He grinned when I still couldn't find my tongue to speak.

"Will you be mine forever, Nicolaa?", he whispered.

I nodded slowly.

I want to be with him.

Near him, everyday.

He was all I ever wanted.

All I ever needed.

He was everything to me now.

Eric Dominic Morrison.

My Eric, my husband.

Mina was right, why not give it a chance?
