32

What we had last night was wonderful. I can feel his hands wrapped around me when I woke up, pulling me closer to him. I smile pretending I was sleeping when I feel him kiss my shoulder.

"I know you're awake," he whispered in my ear, I smile as I open my eyes and stayed unmoving when he was kissing my shoulder and neck. I pulled the blanket tightly in my chest as I close my eyes again. "I'll just prepare our breakfast," he whispered, I nodded my head and I feel him kiss the side of my head before going out of the bed. 

I lay down my back, staring at the ceiling there comes again the what if in my mind playing like a broken tape, asking myself what if after what happened. I bite my lower lip and sighed heavily shrugging the thoughts inside my head closing my eyes. I want to cherish these moments as much and I want to think of this as a chance that maybe, somehow I have a place on his heart and not just someone who will give him an heir and his contract wife but he did say that he wants this to work and that gives me hope.

I decided to wake up from my thoughts and wear his shirt and undergarment and after I tied my hair in a loose ponytail and walk out of his room and then towards the kitchen which he was staying cooking breakfast. I walk closer to the kitchen door and leaned there watching him. I smiled as he noticed my presence, he glances at me smiling and then back to what he was doing.

"What are you cooking?" I asked him, walking closer to where he is. I leaned on the table I saw the cooked pasta and saw that he's cooking the sauce right now and bacon on the other pan. I walk closer to the pan and helped him cook. "Your favorite," he answered.

"Oh, my favorite," I said and smiled at him. He winks at me and back to what he was doing, I then look at the bacon as it was cooked already and carry the pan at the side, placing a plate to put the cooked bacon in. 

"I'll just prepare the table," I said, I walk towards the plates and grab two of them, as well as forks and glass. I decided to shake some fruits for our drinks. I then prepared the plates at the table and smiled when I finished doing it waiting for the sauce to get cook. I then put an amount of pasta on the plates and I sat on the chair facing Anthon, he turned off the stove and then put an amount of sauce on our plates, and after he sat on the chair in front of me.

"Let's eat," he said, I nodded my head and tasted the pasta. No doubt he is good at cooking. "Where did you learn to cook?" I asked him, he glance at me before answering. "Well, I studied abroad so I have too and watching my mother cook for us helped me too," he said with a hint of sadness. I feel a sudden lump in my throat. I look at him and he looks at me, smiling a little. 

 "It's okay, you don't need to feel bad about it," he said, smiling. I sigh and wanted to apologize but I stop myself from saying sorry and made it worse, I bite my tongue to not utter the word. I smiled a little instead of trying to lessen the awkwardness slowly building up and continued eating. 

I suddenly feel the soreness down there, my face distort in pain as I continue to eat the pasta, the silence was making it worst I cleared my throat and look at Anthon, I saw him finished his pasta and was looking at me intently.

"Are you okay?" he said, I nodded my head trying to not make it obvious and why it has to be a late reaction anyway? this was not earlier, I almost hiss when I feel something was tearing pain down there. "Alright, I know you're not let me prepare something for you," He said and stood up from his seat, he walks towards me and kisses my head before leaving the kitchen. I sigh and winced in pain and finish my pasta. 

I then grab the plates and put them in the sink, trying not to mind the pain, and wash the dishes. I then put them in the plate holder and the cabinet after wiping the dishes I washed. I sigh as the pain was still throbbing inside me.

I walk towards my room and saw that the door was open, I push the door open and walk inside. I can hear the water in the bathroom, I walk towards the bathroom and saw him there preparing the bathtub. I smile when he glances at me. "Good, I prepared you something this will help you ease the pain," he said and stood straight, he then pulled me closer towards him and kiss my forehead. 

"Thank you," 

"You're welcome, and take your time I'll be in the sala," he whispered, I nodded my head and the walk outside the bathroom leaving me alone. I get out to grab my robe and walk back inside, taking off my shirt and underwater, I test the water and it was okay it also smelled like roses. I get inside the bathtub and sat taking my time as  I close my eyes feeling the warm water. 

This is good, and he is good. I can feel my nerves calming down I leaned on the bathtub and stare blankly at the ceiling almost hearing the loud silence ringing inside my ear. I sigh and close my eyes trying not to think of anything. 

A few minutes later I decided to take a shower. I stand below the shower and let my hair get wet as I close my eyes not moving an inch. I decided to grab the soap and then took my time, after then I applied the shampoo. 

I finished minutes later and take the robe wrapping it around me and walk out of the bathroom and to my closet, grabbing a dress and piece of underwear, I then grab my lotion applying an amount to my body before wearing the clothes, wrap my hair with a small towel to avoid the water drip me wet. 

I walk towards the table and smiled at the mirror noticing a small red in my skin, my eyes widen when I realized what it is. "Oh, no you didn't," I whispered, as I put my hand in my neck. I hiss and rolled my eyes. That's why he's smiling like an idiot earlier.

I decided to grab my make-up kit and good thing that Kris said that I should buy some. I got the cream inside and the foundation, heck I don't know how this thing works! I sigh frustratedly and decide to search on the internet on how to apply these two on and thank you for g****e for letting me know how.

Damn, you smart ass Anthon.
