Beyond our eyes | COMPLETED

Life with you

It's been three weeks since i started staying at Rocco's house. Three weeks of getting to know each other, three weeks of enjoying and sometimes tolerating each other, three weeks of late night talks by his window side, crying on each other's shoulders, cooking and watching movies together, it has been awesome.
It also has been three weeks of fighting anything sexually intimate, i don't see the point but hey, this is what he wants, right?
Plus its kind of fun watching him get all thrilled up from me teasing him. He was right when he said he didn't know how control himself around me, i see it in his eyes.

Currently, i was on the dining table in the kitchen. After making the sandwich i made for Rocco and i, i sat down staring at it,  badly wanting to it.
He'd kill me if i took a bite without him or started eating without him, he takes such little things to heart and i don't mind.
It's s not so bad waiting for him before i start eating, except if I'm really hungry, like right now.

I picked up my phone from the table and dialed Jessica's number.
No, i haven't seen her since the incident. Im sure Emmanuel would be happy about that too.
Im actually planning on seeing her soon, she left the hospital like two weeks ago but I've been avoiding Emmanuel, also trying to heed to his words of not seeing Jessica til i sort this mess. I still feel guilty about what happened to her and sometimes i feel selfish because i want her with me through all this but i know that would hurt her.

I understand where he's coming from, hurt yes but I understand but he can't tell me not to see her.
She's not going to get hurt this time. This time, i know better so I'll make sure she's safe.

"Hey Jessy, hows work?" i asked when she picked up
"Fine, exhausting but i love it here, feels good to be back" she chirped from the other side of the phone.

"Tell me about it, i miss my restaurant too" i said through
"Awn, I'm sure Rocco wouldn't mind taking you there" Jessica replied

"I just feel like I've been stressing him a lot" i said through the phone.

"First trimester huh?" She asked
I laughed a bit "yes and just me being annoying you know" I answered
"Nothing he can't handle, if you want to see your restaurant, ask mama" she said
"I know, i know" i said
"So how's the baby treating you?" She asked
"The first trimester you mean, its going fine for now. Just peeing a lot and my boobs are tender as fuck" i rubbed my breast as i spoke. "Sometimes i find it hard to hold my pee"

I actually expected a whole lot of discomfort because of the pact but surprisingly and fortunately, its going smooth.  I'm not even going to question why, I'll just take it as it is.
"Im happy it is, i miss you" she said and i smiled "i miss you too, I'll come around soon"

"Yes yes, we could also meet in your restaurant. We have a lot of catching up to do" she said and i nodded  "Tell me about it" i said
"Work calls, I'll talk to you later mama" she announced "bye Jessy, love you" i replied
She muttered an i love you too and ended the call.

When i dropped my phone.
"Rocco's taking so much time" i muttered standing up to check up on him.
As i turned around, i noticed Rocco standing at the kitchen door and jumped
"Why'd you scare me like that?" I snapped when i regained composure

"Sorry" he said sheepishly walking towards the table and i rolled my eyes
"How long have you been standing there anyways? I asked and he shrugged, opening the covered sandwich
"Long enough to let you know that you're not stressing me, at all" he handed me a sandwich and took his.

We both took a bite of it
"Tastes so good" he said munching it
I used to think i was a fast eater until i met Rocco.
I find humor in his animalistic munches tho. It always puts a smile on my face.
