Little Chat
Mandy
“Great now let’s seal this Union with a kiss,” he said and I looked at him with dead eyes, before pushing him away.
“I’m just kidding, relax,” he said in his defense.
“Now let’s feed- you wife, so your hands would be stronger to hit me next time,” he joked while I gasped.
“Don’t call me that,” I cautioned…
“What’s that? You mean .. wife? He said again giggling, and I tried to throw him a punch but he caught my hands halfway laughing out loud.
“Now have your meal,” he smiled and brought the spoon close to my mouth…
“I can feed myself. I’m no baby,” I looked at him hard, trying to take the spoon away from his hands, but he withdrew his hands instead.
“But you’re my baby. So eat or I’ll call you wife again,” he said but my head was stuck on the fact he called me his baby without realizing it.
How the hell does he get to make such a declaration and not be aware of what he said or how it made me feel? Why does he get to give me those tingling sensations and pretend like he did absolutely nothing? I thought to myself, staring at him dreamily, when he brought the spoon to my mouth, and this time I opened up and ate like a good girl.
*Fast forward**
We were done with the whole fill up your stomach and get enough rest thingy, and right now we’re just being chatty and laughing about the whole office reaction to seeing me kinda lifeless on his hands like that.
“You are enjoying this. Come on I’m scared of whatever thought they’ve made up in their head about the whole situation. And of course, it’s cool for you to laugh at your husband’s situation,” he said sadly, and I burst into a really loud laughter. I closed my eyes at the moment and continued to smile, and opened them to stare at him only to find him staring at me too. And when I tried to quickly pull my gaze away from his, he randomly popped those words out of his mouth_ “You’re beautiful”.
He said them, and my heart stopped for a second staring at him and wondering where all of that came from. The serenity, the heated body, the whole room got flawed up in the emotions swarming the room, and before I could say something or do something, the door opened and Maliah walked in, making the whole serenity disappear.
” Hey you guys,” she glances at the both of us, before shutting the door behind her.
“I see Mandy had eaten already,” she walked towards us, smiling at me really sweetly while getting closer to the side of my bed.
“Thank you, Chris,” she added now, staring at me and I wondered what she was trying to pull when she gave him that little tap on the shoulder.
“Ermm.. so where have you been,” I asked her trying to clear the awkward tension, while holding hands with her, as she sat beside me on the bed where I lay.
“Well. I kind of got off the phone with your driver just now, asking him to get your stuff from the office. After I had informed everyone that you’re fine and had a breakdown from stress,” she twitched her head, while I smiled thanking her.
“You’re welcome. But seriously you feel good now, yeah?” She inquired and I nodded my head like a child.
“Okay, I think this is my cue to leave. I will see you all later,” he said and smiled at me, while he waved at Malia, before leaving the ward.
“Bye Chris,” I said sweetly and watched him shut the door behind him…
“Ohhh. What did I miss out on?” Maliah was quick to ask, as she covered her mouth with her hands, staring at me and waiting for me to spill something I barely knew about.
“What?”…
“What do you mean by that?” I asked innocently, and she looked at me and squealed before standing on her feet in excitement…
“The all cute and sweet goodbye. Did something go down before I returned? Else explain to me what happened. Cause it looks like someone is slowly into him,” she played with my fingers smiling sheepishly like she saw something happened…
“What!! I’m just being nice-okay. I mean he brought me here, that was a good gesture,” I tried to make it seem like it wasn’t obvious.
“Yeah, I’ll believe that. Any sane person who sees you fainted would definitely send you to the hospital,” she eyed me, and immediately I was tongue-tied and didn’t know what else to say, or even the words to put in that would be convincing to Malia.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
“Okay, whatever,” I pushed the conversation away immediately, earning a chuckle from her.
“Anyways, what have you been up to,” I gave her a suspicious glance while she folded her hands, staring at me while shaking her head with a sly smile.
“What do you mean by that?” She asked, feigning confusion.
“Well, what have you been up to in general? What’s been going on in your life? Who are we seeing now? Do you know the new man? Or maybe not? Or an old man? Anything,” I went deep explaining what I meant to hear like she didn’t get what I meant from my initial question.
“Really now? Do you want to know about me? The men in my life?” She asked and I nodded my head rapidly…
“Well, do I include my sleeping schedule, the steamy details, the shower scenes, or my work schedule?” She asked dreamily and I squinted with my eyes open wondering what had been happening while I had no idea.
“Nah.. probably you will want to know about my- one-night stand? Office romance? Pregnant Best friend? CEO and secretary scene? Huh? Which of these seems more interesting to you, my love?” And while she went on, I knew she was trying to piss me off and tease me a bit, making me glare hard at her…
