my wife

chapter 15

By the time I wake up, Emilio's already staring at me. He's smiling brightly.

„Good morning, honey.", he practically beams at me.

„Morning. How are you feeling?", usually I'm unbearable in the morning but I can't help smiling when I look at his face.

„Better. Are you hungry? Let's make some breakfast.", excitement. I can tell that he was surprised seeing me in his bed, but now the only thing I see is excitement. I'm glad he's doing better. I think I can study with no worries today.

„Sure, Mary went grocery shopping for us. Let's see what she bought us."

We ended up eating pancakes. There wasn't much conversation, mostly us enjoying each other's company.

„I'll go upstairs to study and you just stay here, okay?", he nods and I head upstairs.

My phone rings and I see that Ivy's calling.

„Hey!", Ivy greets me.

„Hey what's up? I'm studying right now."

„Oh sorry, I'll make it quick. I told you that I can prove you that he's a good guy right?", she's so hyped but I know, this won't be it.

„What's the result?", I'm actually not interested, I just know that she will end up getting hurt.

Ivy sent me a picture of a romantic date.

„Wow Ivy, he took you on a date. Congratulations."

„Girl, it was a very fancy date. C'mon don't be like that. He was willing to take me on a fancy date with dinner and everything."

„Ivy, I say this every time. Guys don't care, you are just too naive. They are willing to do a lot of stuff to get laid, even if they have to pay money, they don't care."

„But he even got me flowers with a note.", she's clearly desperate.

„Flowers? Seriously? That's what get's you? Flowers? Where did you leave your standards? Here's what you do. I want you to go an a date with him, just an innocent one, on sunday and then as soon as the date is set, you tell me where and when the date is gonna be. You're gonna be on your date and then I'll come in and talk to this dude.", I know I'm bossy but I mean well and it works. I just don't want her to get hurt anymore. I have witnessed this way too many times and that has to end, now. I can't bear it any longer, she just keeps getting hurt and I keep consoling her. I'm really freaking sick of it.

„Fine.", she's pissed now but girl lemme tell you, they'll end up leaving you and you'll be crying.

„I need to keep studying, send me everything when it's set."

„Yea, bye."

„Bye-", she hung up on me.

I'm preparing lunch right now.

„Emilio?", I ask from the kitchen.

„Yes honey?", he comes into the kitchen.

„Is it okay for you if I go out on sunday? I'll meet my friend and eventually beat up a guy.", I look over my shoulder to see his face.

„Sure, do you need my help?", with what, beating up a guy? I look at him with that are you serious look.

„Ok I get it.", he raises his hands and laughs.

„My wife's strong she can handle multiple guys at once, I would rather need her help.", he stares into my eyes with his lips forming a smirk.

„Well thank you, I appreciate that and now, get out of my kitchen."

The day went by quickly. I only came down to cook and eat and then I went back up to study.

„Can you sleep in bed with me again?",he asks like he doesn't care.

„You really want that?", oh I love teasing this man.

„Actually yes, I would love that.", I didn't expect him to be blunt about it.

„Alright.", I laugh at him.
