There were many things I found out about the Abel family and especially about Athena. Even though they were not very close with her they still somehow knew things about her. I didn't realize my wine intake and I guess I took a little more than I should have, I started to feel sick. I couldn't concentrate on the talk going on anymore, somehow I want to be with Athena. She was talking or just standing there with a glass of drink in her hand. I know she doesn't like to drink much and above all, we drove here so there is no way she will drink alcohol.
When I was drooling over my wife, Ada announced that dinner was ready so all of us made our way to the table. I stood up to go towards the table and I could feel myself getting weak but I don't want to show it, it might leave a bad impression. Somehow I manage to walk towards the table and was about to pull my chair, but my chair got pulled by Athena. I looked at her and she had a look of concern in her eyes and she smile a little at me. Oo god her smile is the death of me. I smiled, gave a small nod, and sat on my chair. She went and sat on her chair which was beside me by the way. I didn't have any appetite to eat so I ate very little. I felt a hand on my thigh and my breath was stuck in my throat. Athena leaned in and whispered into my ear.
" Are you feeling okay? If you are not then we can leave right away. Tell me,". I felt goosebumps at the back of my neck, she is too close and her hot breath, save me! I turned to tell her I am okay, which led me to look straight into her eyes, it is so beautiful, she is so beautiful. I put my hand on hers which was on my thigh, I like how her skin feels on mine. " I am okay don't worry" I whispered and smile hoping that it will make her worry less. I don't like seeing her worried about me. The way she crunches her eyebrows together. I know she didn't buy it but still just nodded and turned in front.
The dessert served after dinner was delicious, even though I didn't have an appetite for the main course, but I want to eat dessert just because of the alcohol and I am starting to feel hot suddenly.
I wanted more dessert but didn't move forwards to grab one. Athena got up from the couch and got one dessert I thought it was for herself but she handed it over to me. It took me by surprise. " You don't want it?" I asked, "No I don't like sugar anyways I brought it for you," she said gently. I took it from her and she sat back on the couch beside me. She must have sensed that I am not well or maybe drunk so she didn't leave my side even for a second after dinner. I internally smiled at her behavior. Does she care for me just because she thinks that I am her responsibility or does she have the same feelings for me as I do for her? I wish it is the latter.
I started to feel worse than before and the gathering was still not over, I just want to sleep. I pulled Athena's coat closer to me, it feels nice. We took our leave by midnight and I was not even in the condition to walk by now. I felt myself getting lighter, I must be hallucinating. But whatever it is it is warm and comfortable. I felt myself drift into slumber. I felt the warmth fade away, so I tightened my grip over whatever I was holding and was unwilling to let go. But it vanished. I was too tired to open my damn eyes. After some time I don't know how much I felt myself getting light again and the warmth came back but all of a sudden cold air hit me and I snuggled towards the warmth more. Even the source of warmth slightly pulled me near. I could hear voices but couldn't make out whose or what?
After gaining the energy to open my eye I realized that was in the air and then it struck me I was in Athena's arms, which was so embarrassing. She had to carry me all the way here. I realized we were in the elevator but we don't have an elevator in our house. I tried to wiggle and tried to get off but Athena pulled me closer to her and said softly, "It's okay. Just stay where you are, we are about to reach", "But I am heavy," I said shyly playing with her shirt. " you are not heavy, Aura," she said denying. I felt my cheek burn, my nickname has never sounded so sweet and sexy.
I was too shy and engrossed in Athena's arms when we entered the room. The manager left after some seconds. " Now can you let me down?" I asked Athena. "Why did we come here?" I asked, I can't bring myself to look at her. She walked towards me, put her finger under my chin, and pushed it up where I met her eyes. " Never look down when you are talking to me or anyone else, you are my wife, keep your head held high," she said sternly but still gently. I processed the word she uttered. She just called me her wife, I know I am blushing hard, Athena brushed her thumb on my cheeks.
" You didn't look very well so I thought it was a better idea to bring to here for tonight rather than going home," she said softly still standing close. I do not want to go a step from here, I want to stand here just here for a lifetime. Let her smell intoxicate me. " How are you feeling now?" she asked, leaning her forehead against mine. I felt her breath on my face, I just closed my eyes. " I am feeling okay now, thanks," I said. I was disappointed when Athena moved back but then I was lifted by surprise and I was in her arms again. Her eyes held many emotions, passion, desperation, and love?
She walked me straight to the bedroom. " I don't think I will be able to control myself tonight so I will sleep on the couch," she said scratching her neck. There she goes again, she was about to leave that's when I said what I want to do for a long time. " I want you, Athena, I need you. Please don't leave," I said walking up to her maintaining eye contact.
