Chapter 99; Falling with you

Nina was preparing for a steamy weekend to patch up things with Cody. She shopped for some lingerie, scented candles, perfumes, some fruits, ice cream and all sort of stuff. She came back home feeling proud of herself smiling from ear to ear. Then called Cody.

After three rings he answered the call in a hoarse voice.

“Are you still in bed?” Nina asked, she was surprised his voice was hoarse at that time of the day, it was either he was very tired or was asleep.

“I’m in bed, I returned from two trips and I thought I could go to work but it’s impossible, I’ve been asleep the whole day” Cody explained.

“So are you going to come home after resting enough?” She asked hoping to get a positive answer.

“No, I’m sorry Nina I’m too tired to do this, I’ll see you next weekend” he responded.

Nina choked on tears, she didn’t know how to react over what Cody had just said. “I thought maybe you’d come so we could plan our anniversary celebration, the anniversary is just a month away” she said
