HIS UNWANTED WIFE-SAMPLE

Chapter 6

Nathan places Emmie on the bed when his phone suddenly rings. He answers and takes the call inside the closet.

At the same time, Sabrina was going to get her sleepwear and ended up following him in.
It just so happened that he decided to stand in front of the drawer she put all of her pajamas in. His back was facing her, and he was talking about some deal that couldn't get screwed up when she neared and was about to tap him on the shoulder, but he turned and they met gazes instead.

He squinted his eyes, asking her silently what she wanted.

She opens her mouth and before she could say, he unexpectedly stretches out his free hand and pushes the hair from near her eye. He was so gentle it had her weak in the knees. She flinches away unintentionally. It was the unexpectedness of it all. It was the sudden feeling of wanting to just melt into his solid arms.

He drops his hand and turns away. He babbles on about reports and statistics and while doing so, she takes the opportunity to pick out her clothes and slip out.
It was still a little early so she pulls out a novel by her favorite author and absorbs herself in it.

She finishes a chapter and notices that he had undressed, and was watching an action movie on the other side of the bed.

Before she knew it, she was watching it too. She loved action movies, comedies, romantic movies, any kind of movie. There wasn't a tv in her old room, and she missed just watching tv. She puts down the book, and couldn't help but sneak a peek at Nathan. He was sitting back with two pillows behind his back and one arm behind his head.
An unwanted idea runs across her mind. The thought of moving closer came to her brain and as fast as it came is as fast as she yanks it right out.

Back to the movie. An hour later, he gets up to open the door for Dylan and Alyssa. As soon as he closes it, a fight breaks out. Neither one of them wanted to sleep near Emmie. "She kicks," Alyssa complained.

"And takes up all the space on the bed," Dylan adds. They come to the conclusion that. Emmie would sleep between Nathan and Sabrina.

Sabrina scoots to the middle of the bed.
Dylan lay beside her and Alyssa near him. On the other side of Emmie is Nathan. If she angled her foot right she could touch him.

"Tomorrow, I get to sleep next to Auntie Sabrina." Alyssa yawed.

Nathan groans and turns his back facing her. It was obvious he didn't like their plans.

The tv comes off, and the room gets dark and quiet. Soon, snoring comes from all three kids. Then the adults fall asleep too.

"Ouch.."' Sabina wakes to her hair being pulled.

Nathan is startled out of his sleep. "You ok?" His hand reaches over falling on her side.

"Yeah...Alyssa and Dylan weren't lying, Emmie is a bad sleeper."

He sits up, puts the lights on, and sees that Emmie's was laying horizontally with her toes curled up in Sabrina's hair.
He leans over and helps untangle the mess.

"Thank you." She whispers.

"Yeah..." He kneels and lifts Emmie, setting her between her brother and sister.

"Sleep there." He tilts his head to his side.

"It's ok, I'm fine."
