Alluring Temptation (Familiá Altamirano #1)

CHAPTER 27

Rainbow After The Storm

     THE next morning I woke up naked under the sheets with Reeve. We had our make-up make love last night, and it was so deliciously spicy. We slept very late because we did several rounds. He became rough yestreen, but I like it.

My face crumpled because I was feeling sick. Medyo masakit ang ulo at mabigat ang pakiramdam 'ko. Wala tuloy akong nagawa kung hindi manatili sa bahay buong araw dahil ayaw ni Reeve na pumasok ako sa hospital dahil baka mas lumala lang ang nararamdaman 'ko. I just informed Nurse Eva and Mom about my absence for today.

Nagpumilit pa nga si Reeve na hindi rin papasok sa trabaho but I pushed him away. Hindi pwedeng kaming dalawa ang hindi papasok sa trabaho. Ilang pang-uuto ang ginawa 'ko para mapapayag siyang pumasok na. When he went to work, I just stayed in bed all day. Natulog lang ako at hindi kumain dahil wala akong gana. I just wanted to rest.

But in the middle of the day, I was awaken by a warm hand on my forehead. When I opened my eyes, bumungad kaagad sa akin si Reeve. Punong-puno nang pag-aalala ang mukha niya habang nakatuon sa'kin ang mga mata niya.

"W-Why are you here?" I asked softly. "Almost five hours pa lang simula noong pinilit kitang pumasok sa work,"

"I'm worried about you, wife. You don't reply to my messages and answer my calls." He took a deep sigh.

I smiled and gently caressed his cheeks. "I'm fine. It's just a mild headache."

"Have you taken your meds? Kumain kana? I'm going to reheat the food I cooked if you want," he says.

"Wala akong gana kumain kanina," sagot 'ko na ikinabigla niya.

"You have to eat before you take the medicine," he says. "No buts, Mrs Roschefort," he added with authority when he saw me disagreeing.

Napanguso ako. "Are you going to feed me?" I asked softly.

He looked at me and nodded, a cute smile forming on his lips. "Yes, I will feed you. Dito kana lang kakain?"

I nodded, still pouting. "Y-Yes. Hubby, can you make a cantaloupe shake for me, please?" Just thinking of cantaloupe shake makes me salivated. 

His brows creased. "Cantaloupe? Of course, I will. But I'll check the fridge first if we still have one," he says. 

My heart sank just thinking of not tasting cantaloupe shake. I felt like crying, but I tried not to shed a tear because I didn't want him to think I was being a brat for not getting what I wanted.

He gave me a peck on my forehead. "Rest and wait for me here, alright?"

"Hmm. . ." I weakly nodded at him.

My mouth watered as I stared at each food he prepared. There's water, four mini pancakes with chocolate syrup, some sliced apples on the side, a tablet for headache, and lastly, my cantaloupe shake! Unti-unti akong napangiti at niyakap siya. He still look worried about me, tho.

"Wow! Thanks for this, hubby!" I beamed and kissed him on his cheek.

He caressed my hair on the back. "You're welcome, wife. Let's see a doctor if you don't really feel well. Hmm?" he softly muttered with a very worried expression.

I nodded and bit the inside of my cheeks when I quickly thought of a silly prank on him. "Alright. Get my mirror, please."

Kunot noo niyang kinuha ang salamin na pinapakuha 'ko. Nang mahawakan 'ko ito, mabilis akong ngumiti at nagsalita.
