Finding myself

Association

At daybreak the next morning a doctor came to visit. Doctor Parker checked my vitals and assessed my bruises. He decided that I was all clear and all I needed to do from here on is to rest. Doctor Parker took me by surprise this morning and I felt embarrassed in many ways. I didn't get the chance to shower or freshen up. It was all too much or maybe I'm just a shy person when it comes on to new people. It usually takes me a while to adjust and adapt to others. Still I was relieved that he came and left with any issues.

" So I'm thinking we can hang out today and you can meet my staff members. Then we can go out for lunch" Angelo said returning to our bed and hugging me once more.

I don't mind him hugging me or being close. I'm unsure why but it felt right; if I played my part maybe he'll trust me enough to break our contract. Time will only tell I suppose.

" I don't really like being around a lot of people honestly" I replied softly after some time. I wasn't sure what to say initially and I guess I'm always thinking. Always thinking to the point, I have to process the words I would say and make sure it was okay. That it was acceptable because if it wasn't an argument would erupt. Arguments always happen with wrong word choices.

" It will just be for a little while and then after we'll have lunch on the lake" Angelo triumphantly stated as he pulled me out of bed.

"I'll go on one term and one term only Angelo" I said with my back turned as I walked into our bathroom.

"And what's that" I heard Angelo say in a raspy tone of voice.

" What do you plan for us to have for lunch" I questioned him not moving an inch further. The magic words would be a burger or something savory. Either way I know, I would go with him but why not test to see if we have similar ideas.

" Umm not a salad that's for sure anything you want, actually everything and then you can choose what you want" Angelo declared and I could just tell he was either smiling or smirking. I don't really know.

"That's a lot of food to waste for only two people Mr.Allen. How about just burgers and fries. Maybe milkshakes. I'm not sure what you'd like though but we can always adjust" I replied as I turned on the shower so it can heat up before I get in.

I hope he doesn't think I'm too stern or too guarded. I just don't understand, why we should have a lot of food to eat that we cant finish. Unless there are other people joining us. Is there other people joining us for lunch? A sudden panic erupted from inside of me and I turned around looking into those seemingly innocent eyes. Would he really trick me in such a manner?

" Its just the two of us for lunch right" I said to Angelo walking towards him daring not to look from his eyes.

" Yes why wouldn't it be" Angelo said nervously and I wondered to myself, why was he nervous? What is there to be nervous about if his answer is the truth.

"You mean it" I asked Angelo pleadingly with the best puppy dog eyes I could muster.

"No but we can seal the deal with a kiss" Angelo said with a smile running towards me and I bolted to the bathroom just seconds away from closing it. When his big foot got in the way jamming the door in the process.

" Just one kiss is all I ask from my lovely wife" Angelo begged as he made his way into the bathroom door.

" No I haven't brushed my teeth or anything" I said as I shunned him out the door.

" I don't care about that you didn't" Angelo said smiling and I realized he wasn't budging. He was definitely stronger than I am.

" Well I do" I let out a little nervous laugher after saying so. I'm not sure why but he began to laugh as well.  He picked up his toothbrush and handed my tooth brush to me. I'm guessing after brushing, I'll have no excuse. We both brushed our teeth together and not a moment after rinsing my mouth with water. Angelo lifted me and placed me on the bathroom counter. I was nervous but I had to hide it. I'm attracted to my husband I have to admit and I love sharing these moments. Still all good things come to an end and anytime I'm too happy something bad happens to humble me.
