Ofa Atu - I Love You

Chapter 27

Ofa POV

When i wake up I see it's dark outside. Sheesh how long have I been out for? My bladder feels like its about to explode and my stomach rumbling. Such a bad combination especially because I feel so lazy to get up.

My mind takes me back to what we were doing earlier on and it gives me butterflies. I turn to feel for Tasi and I get frustrated when I don't feel anyone there. He must've gone to help with dinner.

I turn to look at my alarm clock and its almost 7.30pm so I manage to get up out of bed and head straight for the toilets before having a shower.

After my shower I get changed and head to dinner to find my sisters had just finish setting up our dining table.

My first instinct is to look for my husband but when I realise he isn't anywhere I begin to panic.

I notice my parents aren't around too so maybe he is driving for them. I know that's highly unlikely but it is a possibility.

"If you're looking for your husband he left around 4.30pm" My sister Annie says while I look out the window to see if his car or my parents car are in the driveway.

"Did he say where he was going?" I ask trying not to sound pushy

"Nah he just smiled and waved goodbye and he was out the door. Why? Did he not tell you he was leaving?"

I really don't wanna answer that question but I do.

"Yeah, I wish he had told me before he left" I say feeling sad because we have done so well in the last couple of months.

He even stopped drinking.

I take a seat at the dinner table with my sisters.

I'm really empowered and encouraged when my sisters all gather around me and I'm given a big hug.

"Sis don't worry about him, he's probably having some time to himself and we think he deserves it" my sister Annie says while placing a kiss on my cheek.

"Thank you my sisters. Sometimes I forget you guys ain't young anymore" I say

They all move back to their seats and we enjoy the rest of our dinner as siblings. Many laughs with my comedian sisters Faith and Grace that it distracted me from thinking of Tasi and his whereabouts.

I couldn't help but keep checking the clock. It's now almost 11pm. My parents got in an hour ago and My sisters went to bed after we all cleaned up and I thought i would watch some TV.

I've eaten ice cream, a bag of chips with sour cream, cookies, a meat pie and 1 Litre bottle of coke. And still no sign of Tasi.

I don't think he is coming home anytime soon. I regret not buying me a phone today. But I was so confident I did not need one. And now I feel like such an idiot for not getting it when Tasi offered to buy me one.

I head to my room after making a stop to the toilet. This girl has been moving around non stop and always making me wanna pee.

Once I lay down I grab all Tasi's pillows to make me more comfortable in bed heck I don't think he coming back tonight although I am hoping he does.
I feel more movement and I rub my belly.

"Yes I know baby, daddy will be home soon" I say really missing my husband.

----

It's almost 4am and it feels like she doing summer saults in my stomach. Tasi is still not home yet and I'm beginning to think my baby knows her daddy ain't here.

I head to the kitchen to get me a glass of water and something I can snack on before heading back to the room.

I eat my cookies and drink my milk in my room before laying back down.
