Ch 139: Dizziness

After that powerful lovemaking in the shower. We both lay across the bed naked. Over and over again, Kai kissed entire circles around my belly. It's like he was overly wishing his sperm was fertilizing one of my eggs. But I confessed nothing since he doesn't know it's a slim chance to happen because I'm on birth control.

"Kai, I need to sleep," I whisper in a moan. "I have work tomorrow."

"Are you sure you're ready to go back to work?" Kai asked softly when he lifted his head.

I smiled, "I know you'd never let Rex hurt me and I can't live my life in fear."

This warm smile formed on his lips. He moved his body up and gently fluffed my boobs before he laid his weight down to use them as a pillow. My fingers curled around his damp locks until I drifted away.

"Looks like it's ready to go," Ben said, stacking the file neatly on the coffee table inside my office.

"Let's take it to Mr. Collin," I smiled and opened the office door. We walked out as the elevator door opened. On one tiny sandal, Coraline hopped off the elevator with her mother Zoey trailing behind.

"Hello, Auntie Victoria!" Coraline chippered while she pounced around my legs. Her tiny height just came over my knees.

"Hello, sweetie," I picked her up and gave her a big hug, asking. "Are you here to see pappy?"

She wildly shook her head, "yuppy!"

Ben, Ms. Thorn, Zoey, and I laughed at how cute she is. I put her down and she darted off to open Mr. Collin's office door.

"Pappy!" Coraline shouted in glee and ran on over to him. He leaned down from standing near his desk.

"There's my little angel," he kissed her cheek and tickled her tummy. She giggled like crazy as we all came in.

Zoey flopped on the couch with a toy bag and some extra clothes.

"Are you sure you don't mind watching her?" Zoey asked Mr. Collin.

"Of course not," Mr. Collin replies. "Go take care of that emergency at the hospital."

Zoey's passenger peeped off again as she whipped her purse over her shoulder. "Alright munchkin, you behave for pappy while mommy is gone," she said then kissed Coraline on the head.

"Bye mommy," Coraline waved to her mother and before Zoey took off. She blew an air kiss to her daughter.

"What are we going to play?" Coraline asked, looking at me and Mr. Collin. Then she eyed Ben like he was a new buddy. "Will you play with me?" She blinked her baby doll eyes asking Ben and we all laughed.

Coraline wasn't shy for a four-year-old and her energy never seemed to stop.

I know Zoey could use a break. Day and night she always gives Coraline and her two sons her full attention. Add that with Zoey being a doctor. She had her hands full. Luckily, Chester was a wonderful father and supportive husband to her. Overall, between the Collin family and friends that lived at the mansion, Zoey had tons of support.

"How about we play work at the office?" I answered for Ben.

"Now that sounds like a fun game," Ben agreed and Coraline giggled.

"Ok, I'll take this to pappy!" Coraline snatched the file from Ben's hand and ran with it. Papers spilled out and flew to the floor. By the time, Mr. Collin got the file it was pretty much emptied after working on it for two days. Ben was shocked at how fast she was.

"Thank you, sweetie," Mr. Collin sweetly said and then looked at us smiling. "Don't worry about this. I'll reorganize this file myself.

"Are you sure?" I asked starting to pick up the papers.

Coraline gave a boo-boo lip before pouting, "I'm sorry."

I picked her up and handed the papers to Mr. Collin, and told her. "You're not in trouble. You just have to ask before you take something off somebody else."

I hugged her as she cried in my arms. "Do you wanna help me work in my office?"

She rubbed her eyes and shook her head yes. "Let's do that," I said and took her back into my office.

Ben grabbed a few toys and followed me. With our help, Coraline started working on the next file with us.

"Now we put that one paper in this pile," I instructed, showing her the stack on the coffee.

She giggled and followed my directions. Between Ben and I, we had her working hard. Soon her eyes got sleepy within the hour. I picked her up and took her back inside her pappy's office. Mr. Collin gave her a sippy cup and I laid her on the couch and soon she started to fall asleep.

"You sure wore her out," Mr. Collin whispered when he covered her up with a pink fluffy blanket.

I smiled, raking my fingers in her light blonde thin hair. "Ben and I kept her busy."

"She'll be ready to take over the family business someday," Ben teasingly whispered.

We giggled as Mr. Collin nodded his head, "oh, I'm sure she will thrive one day as a young lady."

"Well, let's continue with that other file," I said to Ben. Just when I stood up this dizzy spell hit me.

Mr. Collin grabbed my arm lightly and slowly sat me back down on the couch.

"Are you alright?" he asked with a concerned voice.

"Yeah, I just got dizzy," I replied.

"Let me get you some water," Duncan came up from the window. He got inside the small fridge in Mr. Collin's office.

He opened it up and handed it to me.

I drank a few small sips and relaxed back on the couch.

"Do you feel any better?" Ben asked worriedly.

"I'm fine," I looked at Ben, Duncan, and Mr. Collin. "Honestly, it's nothing."

I was being truthful about that. Being on birth control it's normal to have dizzy spells. Plus it's August tomorrow so my cycle will be coming. Which would also explain my dizziness.

It always comes in around the first week of every month. Only in June, I was three weeks late. But I wasn't about to share that with a bunch of men. Although even with my cycle coming soon. I can't say I've never had such a severe dizzy spell. So I know it's from the birth control.

Very slowly, I stood up and said, "I'm good."

Everyone still looked worried but didn't say anything else. Ben followed me out the door so we could continue working.
