Ch 44

"Looks like your all clear and free to go Astrid! Test come back that there's nothing indicating that you'll go paralyzed again, enjoy yourself!" The doctor said joyfully.

I walked out of the hospital with Luca, hand in hand.

This week has been filled with needles, spine test, physical therapy, and hydrotherapy.

I was the happiest I've ever been in months.

We got into Luca's Audi and drove to the house.

I hadn't gotten any action in months. I felt so boring. 

I reached over to Luca and palmed him through his casual pants.

He took a deep breath and moved my hand away.

Odd.

"What's wrong?" I finally caved in and asked.

"I don't know, I don't wanna jump into things."

"We haven't done anything remotely sexual in months Luca, we're a married grown couple don't you think this would be a wonderful time to celebrate with sex?" I asked puzzled.

"As much as I wanna do it with you, I think we should take it easy."

I'f he ain't getting it from me, he's getting it from somebody else.

What if he doesn't find me attractive anymore?

My insecurities started to bombard me all at once, and I sunk into a little hole called anxiety.

I kept quiet all the way home, and I went straight into the kitchen to make myself a salad.

Luca followed after me and examined my face.

"You're upset, aren't you?" He said, his finger on his chin.

"No." I said, focusing on chopping the chicken.

He slowly walked up behind me, and took the full knife from my hands.

He started cutting the chicken and placed it into the salad.

I tried to turn around, but his arms cornered me.

"Tell me, what's wrong?" He said, turning his head slightly.

"Nothing, now let me eat my salad." I said coldly.

"Can you at least braid my hair, it's getting hard too manage."  He said

"Look up a video on YouTube or something.." I said, pushing him out of the way, and taking the elevator to our room.

I ate in silence, occasionally checking my phone to text sienna, Olivia, alex, and tyler back. Nobody knew where Erica was, or Marco.

They checked the bunker and found nothing.

I remembered Erica saying that her and Marco where going after the wedding.

But where?

Are they safe?

I finished my salad and went back downstairs to was my dishes.

I saw Luca sitting on the large couch,  watching some game of Tv. He spotted be and invited me to sit next to him.

I simply ignored him and went back upstairs.

I felt as if he didn't find me attractive anymore.  I don't know why, I just felt that way because of how I was rejected earlier.

It was starting to get dark. This really gave me time to unpack the scenery before the house.
