Music Can Change Everything - Chapter 16

I rolled over to find a body lying next to me. I then remembered the events of last night. It was the best night of my life and I was so glad it was with someone I genuinely loved. I then felt something move beside me and then those sparkling blue eyes struck mine. The corners turned up when he saw I was looking at him. He leaned and kissed me forehead 

"Good Morning Beautiful" he said pulling me in to his embrace. 

"Morning." I breathed nuzzling into his chest. 

We lay there for a while in silence enjoying each other's presence. But that's when I decided to get up and make some breakfast. A good old fry up was on the books for today. I put my fluffy purple dressing gown on and wondered down stair leaving a still half a sleep Greg to wake up properly. 

I put on the radio while I got everything prepared. The news came on and it was the same old rubbish, nothing interesting. Then my favourite classic song came on. And if you knew me when one of my favourite songs came on I sang along every time. 

Listen, baby, ain't no mountain high 

Ain't no valley low, ain't no river wide enough, baby 

If you need me, call me, no matter where you are 

No matter how far, don't worry, baby 

Just call my name, I'll be there in a hurry 

You don't have to worry 

I started setting up the dining table put plates, cutlery and cups on it. 

'Cause baby, there ain't no mountain high enough 

Ain't no valley low enough, ain't no river wide enough  

To keep from getting to you, baby 

I had gone back to the hob to finish the bacon. But then I was interrupted by a much, much better singing voice started to sing to. 

Remember the day I set you free 

I told you, you could always count on me, darling 

And from that day on I made a vow 

I'll be there when you want me some way, some how 

I turned around to see him smiling at me in a pair of joggers. I plated up his breakfast and gave it to him with a quick kiss. He looked at my plate then looked at me. 

"Is that all that you are having?" He asked sounding a tad worried. 

I looked at my plate containing just one dry piece of toast. 

"Ummm, Yeah I'm not that hungry you know." I sighed, trying not to look at him. 

"Sweetie, you don't seem to eat much anymore... Are you alright?" He said taking a hold of my hand. 

"I am fine, Just not up for eating a lot you know. Just keeping an eye on what I eat. Can't afford to put on any more weight." I said. 

He got up from his seat and crouched down beside me, took my hands in his and brought them to his chest. 

"Why Becky? Why are you starving yourself?"  

"You won't understand." I said taking my plate over to the sink giving it a quick wash. 

"Well help me to understand! I can help you!" 

"But you can't! You never got bullied for being a fat child having the baby weight with you for years!?" I said starting to get a bit angry.
