Abi looked around, but he was not in sight. She then picked up her phone and froze because she was literally the one who had called him! She actually called him via a video call at night! It's very late at night.
"Won't you talk to me?" Leo asked her when she wasn't speaking.
"I...I didn't mean to call you," Abi said quickly.
Leo smirked when he saw the nightgown she was wearing. "Did you call to show me how sexy you were because I said you weren't my type?" he asked with his deep voice.
Abi blushed but she quickly frowned and denied his accusations. "Then? You called because you miss me so much that you want me home?" he further asked.
"I didn't call. I guess something happened with the screen when I was in the-," Abi stopped talking and looked at him with widened eyes.
"What did you see?" she asked him with her heart beating fast.
"I'm your husband," Leo replied.
"Did you see me...bathing?" Abi asked. Her throat was dry, and her ears were itching to hear him out.
"What if I did? What if I didn't? I've seen your naked body before. You're just reminding me that I'm still your husband," Leo smiled.
"Why are you moving the camera away from your face?" he asked with a frown.
"I'm not properly dressed," Abi rolled her eyes.
"You should stop rolling your eyes at your husband. When I'm back, we're going to sleep in the same room, so get used to it," he retorted.
"In your dreams," Abi muttered.
"I want to see your pretty face," he said purposely, and Abi blushed when she heard him.
"I can't let you see me," Abi replied.
"Why? Because you're in a nightgown?" Leo chuckled.
"I didn't know you loved wearing such gowns," he spoke.
"Which woman won't love to show off her body?" Abi muttered.
"So, this is your type?" Leo asked. He was silently taking notes of what she loves.
"Of course not. Julian gave this to me when-," Abi stopped speaking when she saw her husband's cold face again.
"You should stop looking at me in such ways. I'm your freaking wife! What did I do to you?" Abi asked with a frown.
"So, you've worn that gown for him before, and you dare bring it here to wear it in my house?" Leo asked with a frown.
"He gave it to me today," Abi replied.
"I haven't stayed together with Julian, so much for me to wear this for him. We've only kissed and held hands,"
"You've kissed him?!" Leo thundered.
Abi blinked hard. 'This is not my husband. Why the heck is he bothered by those things when he said we should not interfere in one another's business?' Abi thought.
"Maybe once. Maybe twice," Abi shrugged.
Leo's frown became deeper.
"Where did you kiss that bastard?" he asked.
"How is that your business? I didn't call you, so good night!" She said.
"Don't you dare hang up on your husband, Abi," Leo threatened her.
"Or what? You're gonna fly to this place from Australia to discipline me?" Abi asked.
"Should I?" Leo thought.
"I wanted to thank you for allowing my mother and sister to come and stay here with me for some time. I'm so happy," Abi appreciated him.
"That's the least your boring husband could do for you," Leo replied dryly.
Leo groaned and began to moan.
Abi furrowed her brows and thought he was in pain, but Leo knew better.
"What's with that groan? What's wrong? Is everything okay?" Abi asked one after the other.
"What do you know?" Leo hissed and continued moaning softly.
Meanwhile, Leo was also preparing to go to bed when he saw the call from his wife. It was a video call, and he was beginning to get worried that something had happened for her to call him that late.
He was surprised to see that she was bathing when she called him. Funny enough, he watched her bathe with a rock-hard on and a dry throat. He kept biting his lips and groaning as he watched.
He knew that she didn't want to show him her body, or she was drunk when she had called. It didn't look like the former, but he didn't end the call. Rather, he enjoyed watching her bathe and expressed her displeasure towards him and his friend, Logan.
Logan had told him that she was annoyed because she thinks he cheated when they played video games. Leo had laughed because he had imagined Abi's face when she had won because Logan let her, and when she lost because Logan also let her.
He was moaning all the time she was caressing her boobs. He was over the moon in France when she had allowed him to have the honors of fondling them that night. They were so soft and big in his palm. He loved them, but he didn't tell her that for many reasons.
One, they were not on good terms. Two, both of them were not in a relationship, and he knew things would get pretty awkward if he had told her that. Three, she would see him as a big pervert, and he wouldn't like her to think about him like that.
It was as if her boobs kept getting larger because when he had seen them that night, his dick erected in his pants, and he had moaned a bit louder when his wife didn't hear him. He had frowned when he heard her talk to their unborn child.
'You ain't going nowhere,' He said to himself after she told herself that she would run away. The top of his dick was already pink and hard from the excess teasing. He moaned and watched it dangle on its own. As he watched the video of his wife, water cascading down her bare skin, the steam rising around her, he felt his breath catch in his throat. Her laughter, soft and teasing, echoed through his phone's speakers.
Each time her fingers glided over her wet skin, his pulse quickened. His cock was already stiff, pressing against the fabric of his pants uncomfortably. He shifted on the couch, unzipping his pants to give himself some relief.
He watched her lather soap over her chest, her nipples hardening as her hands moved lower, her gaze holding the camera with playful intent. He couldn't help but touch himself, groaning softly as his hand gripped his shaft. Lost in the moment, he leaned back, eyes fixed on the screen as the video continued.
She moved with such grace, her skin glistening under the warm water, teasing him without a single word.
Her hands lingered over her thighs, tracing slow, deliberate lines that matched the pace of his own strokes. Her gaze in the video was a mix of mischief and seduction, as if she knew exactly the effect she had on him.
He bit his lip, his chest heaving with shallow breaths as he pumped harder, feeling the tension build inside him. Each teasing glance she gave the camera made his pulse race, and the pressure in his hips intensified.
He could barely stand it—her beauty, the intimacy of her gesture, the way she had called him at such times, knowing exactly how he would react. His hand tightened around himself, and with one final, deep stroke, he gasped, his body shuddering as he finally found release.
"Are you with a girl?" Abi had to ask when he wasn't responding to her.
"If I was with a girl, would I have picked your calls?" Leo asked with a hiss.
"Sorry," Abi quickly apologized because she didn't want him to insult her at all.
"Why are you apologizing?" Leo asked her.
"I didn't want you to insult me," Abi replied.
Leo was speechless when he replied to her. He heaved a sigh and bit his bottom lip.
Abi yawned, and Leo asked her if she wanted to go to bed.
"No-no. I still want to talk," Abi replied and allowed him to see her face after debating on whether to let it or not.
Leo smiled when he heard her say that. He was even more glad when she allowed him to see her face.
"What are you doing?" She asked him softly.
"Nothing. I'm on the bed," Leo replied.
"Really? Show me," Abi refused to believe him because he was a workaholic.
Leo quickly realized that his dick was still out through the hole meant for his zipper.
"Give me a second," He said and put his dick back into his underwear before he showed her what she's curious about.
"Sorry. I didn't believe you. I just thought you were with her," Abi said with a low voice.
"Didn't you hear that I broke up with her?" Leo hissed angrily.
"What did she do?" Abi asked, even though she was happy to hear they were not together anymore.
"She cheated, okay," Leo seethed.
"I never cheated on you," Abi gasped.
"You kissed him!" Leo yelled. "That was in the past. We kissed because we were dating. What couple doesn't kiss? Are you saying that you've never slept with your ex-fiancée?" Abi asked. Leo kept quiet because Abi was right.
"Answer me, Leo! This is all you do all the time. You try to make me a victim, whereas you're the one who's always wrong!"
"You said we can be in other relationships, but why are you interested in my business with Julian?" Abi asked him.
"Are you freaking dumb, Abi?" Leo asked.
Abi didn't say anything to that. She just stared at him and said, "I'd like to sleep now, Leo."
Leo watched her and apologized, "I'm sorry, Abi. I didn't mean to insult you."
"No, I'm just really sleepy," Abi replied. "But I still want to talk."
"On one condition," Abi said, her eyes lit up.
Leo was alarmed when she wanted to give him a condition he must abide by.
"Fine," he gave up. "You have to play video games with me when we return," Abi told him.
"Just that?" Leo laughed.
"Yes," Abi replied.
"Consider it done, and get ready to be defeated. You're just a girl. If you think I'll let you win, you must be silly," Leo told her in advance.
"Did you just call your wife silly?" Abi asked him.
"Of course not," Leo laughed and scratched his head.
"How was the checkup at the hospital?" Leo asked her.
"It was fine. I'm still in my first trimester, so I'm still adjusting, as usual. The doctor said that I can still eat my favorite ice cream from NicB," Abi gushed.
"Is that all you can think of?" Leo laughed.
"Oh, I met your mother too," Abi smiled.
Leo frowned when he heard that. "What did she do to you?" he asked immediately.
"Nothing. She just wanted to talk," Abi replied.
"About what?" Leo asked quickly.
"About us," she responded.
Abi began to tell him all that transpired. She found herself opening up to him more. He wasn't scolding or insulting her like before. He was just listening to her stories and adding one or two things when he wanted to speak.
"I don't want you to meet Julian anymore," Leo ordered.
"Why?" Abi asked him.
"I don't like him," Leo replied.
"Nothing's wrong with Julian. It's just you," Abi defended her ex-boyfriend immediately.
"Can I go out tomorrow?" Abi asked her husband.
"No," Leo refused immediately.
"I'm bored!" Abi bit her lips.
"Call me when you're bored. I'll be there to listen," Leo told her.
Abi sighed and pursed her lips.
"I met Julian today," Abi confessed.
"I know," Leo stated.
Abi was surprised that he knew about her meeting.
"Is that why you refused to allow me to go out tomorrow?" she asked.
"Yes," Leo answered without batting an eye.
"I just wanted to clarify things with him," Leo heard her say.
"What things?" he asked.
"I need to be clear about our status. I want to let him know that we're nothing. We can be friends, but nothing more than that, because I don't have any interest in him anymore," Abi told him.
"Are you seeing someone else?" Leo asked, carefully choosing his words.
"Not yet, but soon. Hopefully before I deliver," she replied with enthusiasm.
"Hmm," Leo nodded.
"Is it very cold over there?" Abi asked with concern.
"Why? You want to fly over here to keep your husband warm?" Leo borrowed her words.
Abi turned red when she heard that.
"No!" She widened her eyes immediately and shook her little hands.
"I was knitting a black sweater for you, so I thought you would like it. I heard your favorite color is black," she commented.
"Have you been doing research on what your husband likes?" he teased her.
"Of course not," Abi frowned.
"I just happened to know that."
"Just like I happened to know that your favorite color is sky blue or anything with the color blue," he said.
"How did you know that?" Abi was surprised.
"Like you had said, I just happened to know that too," he replied, and Abi chuckled.
"I got you a pretty watch, and it's diamond, so you had better use it well and not leave it in your room to rot. I heard that you don't use all that I've bought for you," Leo ran his hand through his hair.
"The ring!" Abi gasped.
"You want a ring?" Leo furrowed his brow.
"I meant our rings. You're wearing our wedding rings. See mine," Abi flashed her delicate fingers.
Leo chuckled when he eventually got what she was telling him.
"I'm just wearing this so I'll be left alone in this place. The girls are all clingy," he rolled his eyes.
"Oh," Abi said with a low voice.
"I'll tie mine around my neck then. The boys aren't coming anymore because they really think I'm married."
"Aren't you?" Leo hissed.
"No! You don't treat me like a wife," Abi spoke out.
"How do I treat you then?" Leo asked, because he wanted to know.
"You don't understand me as your wife, Leo. We need this marriage to work if we want to be together till we have the baby. Your family hasn't come to accept me as one of their own. I'm pregnant with your child, Leo. I can't say that I'm stressed because I'd like to keep my sanity too. I need to feel nature and be free. I...I think I'm being choked up in here," Abi spoke freely.
"Is that what you think? Is that why you called me tonight?" His gaze darkened.
"I spoke my mind," Abi replied with a frown.
"Didn't you marry me for financial security and luxury?" Leo asked.
"I was doing fine, Leo. I haven't found the space and time to adapt to my new life of luxury and privilege. I need to go out with my friend to feel alive, not be choked up in their building. I want to paint the landscape tomorrow morning, by God's grace, too," Abi ranted.
"Then?" Leo asked coldly.
"Stop talking to me with that voice, or I won't call you again, even till you return," Abi threatened him.
"I don't need your call," Leo replied in the same manner.
"I swear I would call off our deal," Abi hissed.
"Do whatever you like. I don't care. I'm annoyed, so let me be. Go to Julian if you like. I don't care!" Leo said and hung up in anger.
Abi also went to bed in anger. She was very angry and put her phone off immediately, deciding to sleep off.

SPAIN
The Grand Lauren Cathedral
Darcy slowly walked into the full building, squeezing between the parents and crowd that were mostly foreigners. He scrunched his nose in disgust when he smelled something unpleasant.
He was not happy with his mother for signing up his daughter to participate in something so tedious.
"I'm here, anyway," he told himself and pushed through the crowd.
"Oh, my gosh! I'm so pleased to see you," Darcy furrowed his brow when he saw a young lady thrilled to meet him. He thought she was really pleased to meet him because it was a crowded place, and he was a little famous for being seen around with Leo. So, he decided to be humble and return to being cheerful.
"Me too. Good to see you," he smiled at the young lady.
He looked at her closely as she wanted to speak. He knew that she wanted to because her eyes kept speaking to him.
"Sapphire told me you were going to come, but it was wrong of me to laugh it off because you never come to events like this. I know how busy you are, and I am more than grateful that you had to shift your schedule to be closer to your daughter," the lady retorted.
It was then that it dawned on Darcy that she was his daughter's teacher. But Darcy didn't reply to her; he just furrowed his brow and asked, "How old are you?"
"Sorry?" the lady asked back.
"Are you sure you're my daughter's teacher?" Darcy asked, looking at her closely. She was so young, and he became alarmed immediately. He began to think of many things because he didn't trust anyone.
"What are you trying to say, sir? Are you trying to say that I'm impersonating somebody else for your daughter's teacher?" the woman asked angrily.
"You're so young, and I don't—"
"That's where the problem is with you men. After many years, I still remember your face because you're my pupil's father. I doubt you even know my name, even though I've been Sapphire's teacher for years!" the lady yelled.
"Hey! Reduce your voice," Darcy warned her.
"No! I won't reduce my voice. Can you take a look at the time you're coming? I doubt you even know that I'm Sapphire's personal trainer because you don't even have the time to question her whereabouts. She's always with me and sleeps with me sometimes because nobody is there for her," the woman continued yelling.
"What are you trying to say?" Darcy frowned.
"You're very irresponsible,sir!," The lady concluded and marched ahead in anger.
