Just hold me

"Um... Cheryl?" Mason calls out watching her fold clothes.

"Hmm?" She gives him a quick look and faces her folding.

"Do you still love Emerson?" His voice went low

"What!?" Cheryl drops the clothes, her eyes wide as saucers and her mouth hanging open. She was shocked. "What...why?" She squints her eyes. "Where is this even coming from, what are you even talking about, how? What....?"

"Hey calm down, it was just a question, a 'yes or no' question..."

"Why....what's going on Mason, why would you ask that. I and Emerson were just friends." She drawled and then sighed seeing the doubt in his eyes. "Look Mason, maybe it was more than that but that's all in the past, I mean we are married and even with a child on the way." She rubs her bump.

"Of course." He moves closer to her, places his hands on her waist with his thumb brushing her bump. "Let's name her Anita or if its a he,Mikael."

"Alright, you wanna name her after your parents, cool with me but... Don't try to cover...."

"Look, I'm sorry I brought that u..."

"But why, why would you suddenly ask that, do you still doubt what I feel for you?"

"No, but I wish you did." He brushes his hands against her cheeks.

Cheryl blinks... and blinks again, she shooks her head and then pushes him lightly away from herself. "What!?"

"Ha! I think I hit my head somewhere." He says pulling her close to himself. "Just hold me."

"Yes. You did! And I think you hit it really hard." and he chuckles. "Look Mason, I love you,OK? Whatever is making you dou..."

"I'm sorry, that's just, hmmmmph. Let's do this, let's forget I said that,OK?" He pecks her on the lips. "I love you."

Cheryl had her brows furrowed, he was definitely confusing her. One minute he was doubting her love and the next....what exactly was going on with him?

"Mason? What's going on?"
