* Three and a half months

Point of view Lalisa Manoban

I felt Rose's hand poking me and I turned on the lamp light, facing her first.

— What was it, love?, is everything okay? — I asked worriedly, looking at her face.

— Baby, I feel like eating lemon with honey. — I tried to reason what Rose said, still confused.

- How so love.

- I want.

I sat up in bed trying to remember if there were lemons in our house, and what's worse, there just wasn't any honey. I looked at the clock on the nightstand, seeing that it was 4 am.

— Baby, we have lemon but no honey. — I said, looking at her face again.

— I don't think I'll be able to sleep if I don't eat this, I'll go get it. — She said trying to get up but I stopped her.

- Will you stay here. — I said, covering your body again. — I'll get it for you. — She said, smiling and placing a calm kiss on his lips.

I put on some jeans and left the room, brushed my teeth and washed my face, then left the apartment, thanking God for having a grocery store 10 minutes away.

I went in looking for honey on the shelf, took one of the first ones and went to the cashier, observing the curious expression of the attendant.

After all, it was 4 am and I was buying honey, it seemed a little strange indeed.

— Pregnant desire. — I explained, laughing, while she applied the honey to the cashier's beeper.

- How many months?.

— 3 and a half.

— Lucky for you it was honey, I already wanted to eat dirt. — I looked at the attendant in disbelief, hearing her laugh afterwards.

I swiped the card and grabbed the honey, running back home, I stopped in the kitchen, opening the refrigerator drawer and grabbing one of the lemons to split it in half. I put it on a plate and took it to the room.

Rose was wide awake and with the light on, I left the plate on her lap and she got ready on the bed, taking one of the bands and putting the honey on top.

Then she sucked the lemon along with the honey, moaning with satisfaction, as if she were eating the most delicious thing in the world.

- It is good?.

— Very much, do you want to try it? — I shook my head several times.

— Your first wish. — I said, smiling foolishly.

I kissed Rose's lips, tasting that strange mixture in my mouth, laughing to myself afterwards.

I waited for her to finish the two lemon strips, and then she put a little honey on her finger and offered it to me, I took her finger to my mouth feeling the sweet taste.

— You look sexy doing anything, I hate you. — She said, making me laugh as I took the plate from her hands, and she got up to go to the bathroom.

I took the plate to the kitchen and went back to bed, Rose lay on my chest hugging my waist, I put my hand on her back.

— I hope this is your strangest wish. — I heard your nasal laugh.

[...]

The college bell rang and I was startled, opening my eyes.

— Is it over yet? — I asked my friend who laughed next to me.

— You slept through class Lisa. — She said, closing the notebook and putting it in her bag.
