Chapter Twenty Seven
I sat patiently on the couch at home as I awaited Reese’s arrival. I hadn’t seen him since the news was directed to us. He seemed awfully disturbed. all he had told me was to go home before him, and he would see me when he returned.
I felt my baby move, she or he seemed really energetic. I chuckled at the situation and got up walking towards the kitchen. Looking for my chocolate. I looked high and low and let me tell It felt as if I was going to cry any moment. My beloved chocolate.
“Mom!” I yelled from the kitchen.
“Yes honey?” She questioned a bit softly.
“Do you know where my slabs of chocolate are?” I questioned her in agitation.
“It’s in the top cupboard, why?” she questioned. I smiled and opened the cupboard.
“Nothing really, just wondering.” wondering if I could grab a slab or 2.
I saw the chocolate stacked up. Grinning like a fool I reached for it, only to notice my size. Why do I feel so short? was I always this short? I looked for the small step ladder we usually had in the kitchen, but it was nowhere in sight.
Grabbing a bar stool, I climbed on it carefully getting my balance, I reached for the chocolate, only to feel the chair turn beneath me making me lose my balance. This Colleen was the stupidest move you could have ever done. I made a sharp turn as I hit the ground falling on my back. The bar stool falling in the opposite direction.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
The pain in my back became unbearable as tears streamed down my face. not Soon after, Daniel came running into the kitchen, a horrified look on his face.
“Colleen, are you okay what happened?” he questioned, but I couldn’t answer as only a throbbing pain lingered in my lower back.
he lifted me up bridal style as he began walking towards the door of the house, grabbing the car keys.
“I’m taking you to the hospital!” he said in a panicked tone.
“Daniel, I’m fine really, I fell on my back, nothing’s wrong, I’m okay.” I reassured him as I wiped away my tears.
“Reese isn’t going to like to know you fell, what the hell were you thinking!? You could have endangered yourself and the child.” he looked at me with angered eyes.
“I’m sorry, I just got caught up in the moment. But I didn’t just fall, it felt as though someone slightly moved the chair me.” I tried to reason with him.
He looked at me like I had grown insane. “that fall Must have messed up your head. Come on Colleen! Was there some ghost or something.” soon the door opened and shut, and Reese’s scent filled the room? I clutched onto Daniel’s sleeve, and looked at him with a pleading look. “please don’t mention any of this to Reese.” I asked him.
“He deserves to know what happened-” I cut him off.
“please Daniel.” I said to him. He let out a sigh as Reese walked in the living room.
“hey…” I said sheepishly. He looked at me with a sorry look. Daniel walked away and Reese came close to me sitting right beside me.
“Hey, look Colleen, I know I wasn’t the best at that moment, but just know I’m sorry for the way I reacted at the doctor and I’m ready for this, ready with for decision.”
Right now, I wanted to cry. I looked him on the eye. And hugged him, my baby bump keeping a distance between us.
I held his cheek as I kissed him passionately. I can’t believe, the Reese Gold actually apologized. I laughed a little as I pulled away.
“Come on, let’s go, I’m sure you must be tired. Let’s take a little nap.” he said with a silly grin, as he lifted me bridal style heading to my bedroom.
“You know it’s going to start again tonight.” I reminded him. All he did was briefly nod. I smiled as I slept, and he laid right beside me.
“Colleen why is your dress torn? Did something happen?” he questioned as he showed me the ripped part of the clothing with worry painting his face. The fall.
“it’s nothing, I probably didn’t see where I was walking and perhaps it got caught somewhere and ripped.” I made an excuse. Guilt wasted over me, knowing I practically lied to my mate about something that could be a danger to me and his child.
Reese looked at me briefly, before nodding and he began rubbing my feet, to say it felt good was an understatement, it was amazing. I relaxed briefly and closed my eyes, soon I felt tired and was beginning to pass out.
I felt the bed dip beside me, as a kiss was placed on my forehead. “I love you.” those were the words enough to make me freeze.
Reese…. loved me?
Unknown POV: (Character 1 mystery.)
I watched carefully as the door opened, and he stepped out. My mate.
“Reese, I’m headed out, I’ll be back a bit later.” he said. I hid in the bush as I watched his beautiful body walk out onto the streets.
Daniel… was his name. So sweet, so nice, so… Mine. He liked around for brief moment as he caught my scent. But slouched when he couldn’t see me.
I’m afraid to show myself, I’m afraid….
he’ll reject me.
