Love After Marriage

I open my eyes the sun shining the shit out of me. I momentarily forgot where I was or what day today is. I slowly opened my eyes to let my eyes adjust to the brightness of the room. I looked around seeing myself in an unfamiliar room. I panicked when the door handle turned but relaxed a bit when I saw Claire

Hey you are finally awake remind me never to leave a vodka with you" she says with a tray of something that smells so yummy. My stomach grumbled. I looked down trying to remember what happened yesterday which I did. After Claire had gone out, I took a bath tried to sleep but I couldn't. I got up looking around the house while waiting for her until I saw some vodka on the cabinet. I decided to take a sip while waiting for her. I guess my sip turned into drinking most of it until I passed out or doze off. I don't really know.

I'm sorry feeling the after drink headache kicking in

It's alright I'm the one that told you to feel at home and I'm happy you did" she dropped the tray on top of the small table on the bed. I looked at it to see some almost burnt bacon, cream and cheese sandwich.

Though it doesn't look good but trust me it tastes heaven, I hope so" she says which made me chuckle at her

I can't complain cause I'm really hungry. I haven't eaten much since yesterday and I really think I can't afford to complain.

Here take some aspirin before you dig in" she says handling me a bottle of water and tablet

Thank you I muttered. I can't remember the last time I was treated like this, to have someone take care of you. I drank the drug gagging as the taste of the drug is stuck on my tongue. I took the one piece of the bacon, taking a big bite almost choking.

Hey take it easy she says rubbing my back. I was getting emotional and I don't think it will be a good idea to start crying. I held it in nodding frequently at her as I tried to chew through. Her hands were still rubbing my back, I think she already forgotten about it.

You don't lie, it tastes good I said though the bite" I continued eating taking it slow this time.

Told ya. Here she handed me a cup of coffee after blowing it up. I took it feeling the butterflies in my stomach. I know she was probably not thinking any of it other than helping a friend but she was messing with my head and body

She watched me eat like a mother making sure that her kid ate. She sometimes removes the hair that fell out, tucking it behind my hair, removing craps of food stuck on my face and what surprised me more was when she picks it after removing it. It's something we watch in movies and not experienced. I don't know if I'm the only one that's thinking too much about it.

Thank you I said after I finished eating. The headache has reduced and my stomach has stopped grumbling. I wasn't feeling so bad as I was yesterday.

No you can take your bath, already bought some brush and other stuffs that you will need"

You don't need to, I felt embarrassed" I looked down tapping my finger on the bed covers. I Wondered if all these she's doing, was it out of pity or something. She picked my face up looking at me with that green eyes, I didn't see pity in them, I can't figure out what she's thinking

Hey you don't have to think too much about it and I care about you" she says rubbing her finger on my checks which she removed when I looked at it. "I'm sorry so now go take your bath and you can wear one of my cloths that will suit you" she says taking the tray of already eaten good with her

I did exactly that, I brushed my teeth, bathed washed my hair and dried it. I looked through her clothes, she was a bit taller than me and she like big clothes. So her clothes were a lot oversized on me. I ended up wearing one of her oversized t-shirt and shorts. I walked downstairs later to see her on phone with someone and from the things I said, I think it's about Jason. She ended the call later turning to stop in her track. She stared at me looking me up and down. I knew she was checking me out, I didn't know this can result to that reaction. I was rubbing the back of my neck, feeling the body go hot.

Like what you see" I said deciding to tease her out from looking at

Yeah I do and I'm wondering why you look so hot in just a t-shirt and shit, maybe the fact that they are mine huh? She was smirking now. I think she noticed I wanted to tease her and she changed the game cause now I can feel my face go deep pink. I coughed turning around

Who are you talking with Jason?" I tried changing the topic

Yeah, he reminded me of his play today. His school are doing some kind of play and he happened to be in it so now I have to go or else he's going to feel bad about it. I told him I will try and bring his dad but I know it's not possible seeing that his dad is yet on another travel" she sighed and I can see the frustration in her having to promise your child something and you couldn't do it

I can come with you" I offered hoping I'm not invading

What no I can't ask of this from you" she says

Well you didn't, I offered and you have been so great to me and it's not like I'm doing anything here" I say sounding reasonable

Really?

Yeah why not and I like Jason that I wouldn't want to see him hurt" it was true and I didn't want to see his mom so troubled

Thank you so much" she hugged me her body pressing deep into me. I hugged her back after a few seconds of recovering from the sudden contact
