Chapter 18

Two weeks after their wedding they came back home

from Bora bora where they had their honeymoon, it

was a memorable experience he couldn't let her out

of his sight he wraps his arms around her waist at

every chance he gets, it was the best two weeks of his

life he never saw Belinda or had anything with her.

For the first time in her life she felt loved and at peace,

I'll loose my mind if you leave me, she tells him, I can

never leave you till death do us part, he whispers in

her ear, promise me you won't leave me no matter

what, he said, I promise you no matter what you do I'll

stay with you, she kissed him.

They laid on the bed quietly hearing each others

breathing before they both fell asleep.

Her buzzing phone woke her up, she stretched her

hand to reach for it on the bedside table.

Hello, she whispered so as not to wake her husband,

hey girl you still sleeping, Kemi said, you woke me up,

sorry I missed you we should see today, I miss you too

I'll come over to the house later, okay Tolani is here

she's saying hi, my regards to her I can't wait to see

you guys it's just two weeks and it's feels like a year,

see you soon.

He wrapped his arm around her waist, you're awake,

she smiled and kissed him on his lips, I have to get

ready for work, I didn't know you were going to work,

I have to I haven't been there for two weeks, I haven't

been in my studio for two weeks too, I have to know if

they did a good job, okay I'll go to work too.

What do you want for breakfast? She asked, you want

to make breakfast? he giggled, yes what's funny, you

hungry come downstairs, I'll join you soon I have to

take my bath, alright I'll make toast bread and egg, she

said and left the room.

He pressed the doorbell and knocked, oh my God

hugged, I've not been gone for so long, I miss you

anyway we see ourselves everyday how do you expect

me not to miss you, I miss you too girl where's my

sister, at her friends, she knows I'm coming here

right? Yes she said she won't be staying long.

Kemi said excitedly, won't you offer me anything to

eat or drink, sorry what do you want to eat? I'm not

hungry give me a glass of juice, are you sure that's all

you want, yes I'm not hungry, okay be right back baby.

I had so much fun in Bora bora, Sewa said, I'm

definitely going there for my honeymoon I love the

serene with all the pictures I've seen it's so beautiful, it

is, Sewa said enough about that how's is marriage life?

The only difference is the ring, she giggled, I'm serious

Sewa, there's no much difference, Sewa said, I'm

happy for you girl, she hugged her.

Are you still on birth control, Kemi asked, of course

not, you guys are ready to have kids? He's not ready

I haven't told him I stopped, don't you think he'll get

angry when you get pregnant, I'll tell him soon I want

a child now I don't plan to start having babies in my

thirties, just let him know you two should agree, it

shouldn't be a problem, you're almost thirty, Kemi

laughed, I still have three years before I'm thirty, she

laughed.

They talked for hours before falling asleep on the

sofa, Sewa's buzzing phone woke them both, when

did we fall asleep, Kemi said stretching, pick your

phone, she said tapping Sewa.

How's my baby doing? Xavier said, I'm fine I just woke

up, thought you said you're going to see Kemi, I'm

with her we both fell asleep, how's your day going?

Sewa asked, I've been thinking about you all day and

how I can't wait to have my hands all over you, she

giggled, I'm about to leave the office do you want me

to get you anything, I'm famished buy me food, alright

I have to go now send my regards to Tolani, will you

over if i don't have any job, she said hugging her, bye

see you tomorrow, Kemi said, won't you see me off to

the car, I still feel like sleeping bye I love you, she said

closing the door behind her.

She got up to pee in the middle of the night eyes still

closed after peeing she laid back on the bed to cuddle

her husband but he wasn't there, she got to look for

him.

She searched everywhere he wasn't there, she looked

out the living room window to see if his car is still

there, he's definitely still in this house, she said to

herself.

Xavier! Xavier!! she called, hey babe why are you up?

he said startling her, she saw him coming from his

favorite room in the house, what were you doing

there, I couldn't sleep I'm just wandering, you slept

before me Xav, I woke up to pee and I couldn't sleep

again, are you sure you're fine? Sewa asked, I'm fine

let's go back to bed, you need to stop looking for me

when I'm not next to you, I can't I need to know if

you're fine the minute you're not next to me.

I'm not a baby, I'm not saying you're a baby, why

couldn't you sleep? I don't know, is something on your

mind, I said I'm fine, are you mad at me? I'm not mad

at you babe but you really need to stop doing this,

cause I got out of bed to look for you when you are

suppose to be sleeping how is that bad? If I'm not

beside you doesn't mean I'm missing, are you really

saying this to me it's not your fault goodnight, she said

heading towards the stairs, no babe I didn't mean it

like that I'm sorry, he said holding her hands thanks

for coming to check for me let's go to bed now.

They both laid on the bed, she wrapped her arms

around him, why do you smell like a morgue? She said

sniffing his cloth, morgue? what do you mean, I'm

serious Xav you smell like a morgue, jeez Sewa do you

know a morgue smell, you smell like you've been in

the morgue, shush and go to bed, you need to off this

He said sniffing his top Xavier giggled, have you been

said, alright baby we can sleep now, he pecked her

neck.
