Gabriel did not know what to think of her whispers. She was obviously asleep, right? So did that mean she mistook him for that guy she was Inlove with and was confessing? All of a sudden, his heart constricted in pain and his mouth turned bitter. He was here with her, why did she have to think of another man? It was okay if she loved another man, he could accept that, but hearing her confess love to another person was too much.
He adjusted her until she was sleeping comfortably on his shoulder. He decided to ignore everything, maybe, just maybe, if he abstains from thinking about it, it would be less painful, it would be tolerable. But who was he kidding, it still hurt like hell. He accepted that in this life, he wasn’t lucky with love, he should just be content that he’ll be having a baby with the only woman he ever Loved. That will be enough, at least, the baby will always remind him of his beautiful but unattainable Love.
In no time, they were already at his house. He carried Stacy in his arms straight to his bedroom. He had thought of asking a maid to prepare a guest room for her but he remembered she was pregnant and needed his care, so he changed his mind. He Just hopes that when tomorrow comes, she won’t get mad at him for making that decision.
Stacy slept comfortably through the night. For some reason, she felt comfortable and extra warmth. The following day, she opened her eyes and saw the most beautiful green eyes looking at her. Gabriel was watching her sleep beautifully. He had woken up at his usual time but did not go to the lab to do his research. He couldn’t bear to leave her alone.
” Good morning.” Stacy greeted propping herself to kiss his enticing lips. Gabriel’s brain circuited. A morning kiss? He wasn’t expecting that at all. He recovered quickly from the surprise but his cheeks were red, he was blushing profusely.
” Good morning to you.” He replied looking down, not daring to look at her eyes. He was aroused by her small gesture and his little brother was saluting for the queen. It’s funny how in the past one month his junior did not erect at all but now a small kiss from her was enough to arouse the hidden desires in his body. It didn’t help that she looked more beautiful with her still sleepy eyes and messed up hair.
” Aaaaw, ain’t you too cute my Love?” Stacy fawned, pinching Gabriel’s cheeks. She couldn’t imagine a man, thirty years old, could still blush like a teenager. He Heard her, he heard her call him my love but he shrugged it off. Maybe she was confused but he loved it.
” Breakfast is ready, should I get it or are you going downstairs to have it?” He asked, trying to change the topic.
” I would rather eat you for breakfast, I missed you.” Stacy said, grabbing his junior who was standing proudly. Gabriel’s eyes widened when he heard her, of course he wasn’t stupid to know what she meant by that bit before he could recover, she grabbed his soldier and stroked him emitting a grunt from him. It felt so damn good.
Stacy continued to stroke him through the fabric. She knew that Gabriel was weak in that area. She liked it when he was at her mercy. Gabriel could only close his eyes enjoying the service from his queen. He moaned everytime she stroked and squeezed him.
” You like it?” Stacy decided to tease him but also to handle their misunderstanding. She was sure with this, she was in control. Gabriel, the ever honest mommy’s boy nodded in agreement, of course he was loving every bit of it. His balls were aching, begging for release.
” Do you like my body?’ if they were to do this, she might as well know if he liked everything about her. Gabriel did not disappoint, he nodded yet again, of course he loved every inch of her delicious body.
” Gabriel, do you love me?” She finally asked the question she wanted to know most. He of course was taken aback. Why was she asking him this? She already had someone she loved, what difference will it bring if he admits to loving her, if anything, it will only complicate matters and put her into a difficult place.
” I … I .” He couldn’t form coherent words to reply, he didn’t know if he should be honest with her or lie to avoid future complications. Stacy took that reaction as a no. She withdrew her hands with a hurt expression on her face. So it turns out he only loved her body and what sfe could do to him and not her as a person? To say she was disappointed would be quite an understatement, she was hurt and broken. He was the first Man she ever loved. He was the first man to sleep with her, now it turns out she didn’t mean Much to him.
Gabriel saw her turning away from him with a sad expression. He couldn’t fathom why she seemed sad. After All, did his love ever matter to her? She had someone else in her heart, he was only the father to her child, so why the reaction?
Stacy was disappointed. She thought that she already won this battle but it seems she was so wrong to make that conclusion. She was a woman with dignity, ofcourse she wouldn’t force herself on a man who didn’t like her.
She left the bed, leaving Gabriel hanging and confused. She wanted to take a breather and think of her next step. She was about to leave the door when strong arms engulfed her petite body. Gabriel was hugging her tightly. She was surprised at first then felt warmth spread at every corner of her body.
” Please don’t Leave me.” Gabriel did not know when those words left his mouth. He was ready to beg her to stay with him.” At Least until our baby is born.” He added. Stacy could not believe what he was saying, so after all it wasn’t about her but the baby? He was just like everyone else, accepting her for the baby. She was okay with the others doing that but him? It hurt.
She could feel her heart wrenching in pain as if someone stabbed her straight and twisted the knife cruelly on her poor heart. She chuckled. Laughed at her stupidity. Laughed at how it was easy for her to be swayed by his words. She laughed at her expectant heart.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Stacy pushed Gabriel away and walked out with a heavy heart. Maybe it was a bad idea to come here. Maybe she shouldn’t have listened to Miranda but she knew that her friend had the best interest in mind. Maybe it would have been better if she just stayed in her country, gave birth to her child and raised her.
