After hours

Chapter 28

I can feel my heart racing in my chest, and my eyes widen in excitement.

"Oh my god! Jacob!" I say with tears in my eyes. He laughs and comes to me, since I have crutches, and engulfs me in his big arms. "When did you find out?" I ask wiping my tears.

"Earlier this morning when I took the girls to daycare."

"This is amazing! We have to tell everyone!"

He pulls back and laughs, "I figured you would say that."

"We should have everyone over for dinner!"

"Who's everyone?"

"Alyssa, your brother, some friends from work, I don't know. Come on it'll be fun!"

"Okay, okay", he laughs,"but first," he leans in and kisses me. I can feel the smile on his lips as he kisses mine, long and hard.

He tries to grab my legs and pull me up, but the cast would not let him. I hear my crutches fall and burst out into a laugh.

"Wait, wait. I can do this." He says between laughs.

He picks up my crutches and leans them against the counter, then, taking me off guard, puts one arm around my back and the other under my knees, picking me up bridal style.

Both of us still laughing.

Then as we came to the hall way he tried to go straight, but my cast hit the wall.

So he turned sideways and slowly we made it to our bedroom.

"When to you get that thing off?" He says throwing me down on the bed.

"In two weeks."

He doesn't reply, just press's his lips to mine.

I decide to do something with my hair, so I curl it for the first time in forever. It takes me longer than usual, for some reason my arms were getting tired faster and I had to take frequent breaks.

In the end I'm so tired I just put on little makeup and forget it.

"Hey so how many hamburgers do I need to cook?"

"Uh, like nine or ten." I say a little out of breath.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm just tired that's all."

"Dammit I knew it. Sit down."

"What? I'm fine."

"No, I knew better than that. We shouldn't be having sex. It's bad for your heart, you seem fine but your not you had heart surgery only a couple of weeks ago."

"What? No it's not that. That's ridiculous."

"No it's not, we have to be more careful. Maybe we shouldn't have to dinner tonight."

"No, we're having the dinner. I'm fine."

"Okay, just don't push it. I'm going to pick up the girls from daycare and finish cooking."

"Okay," I nod my head and lay down on the bed, trying to take deep breaths.

"Man it's going to be hard to resist you when you wear those all the time." He says slapping my butt.

"Hey! Nothing else will go over my cast." I say motioning to my yoga pants.

"Well put on a long shirt."

"Your shirt?" I tease him.

He just groans in response and leaves.

I focus on breathing normally while Jacob is gone, because when he gets back with the girls I know it's going to be mayhem.
