The One For Him

The One For Him ~ 38

"Wake up, sleepyhead. Time to go to work", Alex nuzzled my neck, trying to wake me up. I was sleeping prone position with my face facing him. I slowly opened my eyes, looked at him and smiled. He smelled delicious. He wore a black business suit, ready for work. Obviously he took a bath while I was still abed.

"I love you, beautiful", he kissed me on my lips. I was about to respond, when suddenly my tummy rumbled. I catapulted and ran towards the bathroom, naked, covering my mouth and vomited.

God! This is getting worst. I need to see a doctor quick.

I might have infected him with the same illness now because we spent last night making love.

He was behind me, massaging my back while I continuously retched. My poor baby must be worried. I washed my face and mouth with cold water.

"A-Alex, I'm so sick", then I started retching again. When I was done, he assisted me to gargle my mouth then carried me towards the bed and laid me down on top of it gently.

"I don't think I can go to work today", I started crying. I just felt so overwhelmed. Worrying about my health and his, too.

He smiled fondly at me.

"I'll call the school principal and tell her. I'm going to call the office to inform them to cancel my meetings, too."

"No baby, I'm going to be fine."

"It's okay. I want to take care of you."

He caressed my face repeatedly and that made me feel a little bit better. I knew I look a mess but his soothing touch made my dizziness go away.

I closed my eyes and savored his ministrations.

After a minute, or two.

"You're not pregnant, or are you baby?", he asked me in a whisper but I heard him clearly.

"What?, my eyes popped open so wide. He was grinning at me devilishly. That shocked me out of my wits.

"No! It can't be!", I was aghast.

"Baby, we never used protection", his eyebrows both raised.

"I know but I didn't have my monthly since... Oh my God!", I covered my mouth with both of my hands.

"Since when?", he asked, still grinning like he won the lottery. He found this topic very exciting. That was his confirmation.

"Oh no! Mom's going to kill me!", I shrieked. Alex laughed. I covered my face with my hands. Quite embarrassed for I didn't even realized the truth before he did. He removed my hands covering my face and kissed my knuckles on both.

"I love you, Clarissa", he looked sheepishly and so happy, almost smug even. Then he kissed me on the lips.

"No Alex! Mom's going to kill me for real!", I frowned and bit my lower lip. My parents would learn they had a wild and wanton daughter, who couldn't resist this handsome hunk.

"Then she can kill us both", his amusement and excitement were apparent in his voice.

"I'm serious, baby!", I wailed.

"I know but we're getting married. It's not as if I'm not going to make an honest woman out of you."

"I am honest", pouting.

"I meant to make you a married woman. That's what old people calls it."

"I know that. I'm just kidding", I grinned now. I felt so overwhelmed with excitement, too.

"No wonder you gained some weight", he touched my left breast. "And this became bigger and heavier."

I giggled.
