Tales Of The Heart

Chapter seventeen : Bonding

The next morning .......

Fatima felt her stomach tight indicating that she has to pee ,she open her eyes but realized the strong arms rap around her body ,trying to remember what happen the previous night she smile as her eyes meet her finger with the ring that was glowing from the morning light she smile putting her hands to her heart , She try to move making sure not to wake him but he moved a bit ,she let him get comfortable before trying again this time she manage to remove her body from him .

She turn to look at the man laying besides her an kiss his lips "  I LOVE YOU "  she whispers playing with his face not realizing that purity was laying between them both .....She kiss her daughter on the cheeks an made her way to the bathroom to do her little routine still confused on how purity got there ....she smiled for the first time in years doing her routine just thinking about everything that happen last night ,then it finally hit her what she just said to him hoping he didn't hear .

Its not that she don't love him she do but she just wasn't ready to say it or rather scared to say it she brush it aside an continue doing her routine including taking a shower ,45 minutes later she was done so she went to make breakfast not knowing she had a house full of people
