Love At First Sight

Chapter 33

Demi's POV

Another groan escaped my lips and I clutch my stomach as if to stop the pain. I'm just lying in bed, wrapped up in the covers. As an attempt to soothe the pain, I tried rocking back and forth. Nothing's helping and I let out a helpless wail again. After doing that, I inwardly tell myself off for sounding like a dying whale.

I hear a laugh from the door and whip my head around to glare at the person - already knowing all too well who it belonged to. I've met with Justin's very amused face and I give him a cold stare, letting him know that he was on very thin ice. He didn't react the way I wanted him to though and only laughed again.

"Are you okay, baby?" He asked, trying not to laugh again.

"No." I whine, burying my face more into the pillow, "I'm on my period and it hurts so b-bad a-and...I just-" I couldn't hold it in any longer and cut myself off with a sob and hid under the comfort of the covers.

I feel the bed sink down at the weight of Justin and only clutch the covers tighter to myself. He slowly snatches the covers from me and tightly wraps me up into his arms.

"Shhh, beautiful. Please don't cry. I'm not mad or making fun of you and you shouldn't be unhappy. Does it hurt?"  

I nod lightly, sniffling into Justin's neck.

"I'm sorry, Demi. You know I'd take the pain for you if I could. I'll be right back, okay?" He gently kisses my forehead before disappearing out the door. While waiting, I just close your eyes to try to forget about the cramping pain for at least a minute. I groan when nothing helps and just decide to helplessly wait for Justin to come join me again.

He entered so quietly that I barely hear him come back. He sits down beside me with a tub of my favourite flavour of Ben & Jerry's ice cream and one of my favourite Jennifer Aniston movies in his arms. He knows me so well. He hands me the tub of ice cream which I happily take from him and I follow him with my gaze as he gets up again to put the movie into the player. With the glass of water on my bedside table, I swallow the pills that will hopefully soothe my pain.

As the movie begins, Justin placed his hands on my stomach and rubbed it softly with just the slightest amount of pressure. A sigh of pure relief escapes my lips as he does and I can tell without looking that he's smiling.

I smile too and I realized just how lucky I really am. Justin is the most caring, honest, generous and romantic husband I could have asked for. He was the perfect husband. And he was mine; only mine and no one else's. 

Protective much? I think so.

"I love you, J." I whispered softly, dozing off on his chest with the tub of ice cream in my lap and him still rubbing my stomach.

"I love you too, Dems. Go to sleep now, okay? I'll be right here when you wake up." He promises and I know that he means it. He's so adorable that way. Justin never breaks his promises and that makes me love him even more.

Justin's POV

I kept my promise of being here for Demi when she woke up. I sat on the bed next to Demi, just tweeting and replying to some of my beliebers and catching up with a few friends. After about five minutes, I got bored and just put my phone down.

I turned to face Demi who was still fast asleep and I just stared at her sleeping figure. I'm just struck by her beauty. Her face is so calm and I noticed how vulnerable and delicate and cute and sleepy and small and precious she looked wrapped under the covers. I watch her start to wake up, sleepily rubbing her eyes with her hands and then stretching her arms out like a little kitten.

"Did you have a nice nap, beautiful?" I laughed softly, watching her adorable just-woken-up state.

"The best." She smiles back at me, her voice raspy and quiet as she lets out a tiny yawn.  

"Good." I replied."Do you feel any better? Has your stomach cramps calmed down now?"

She lied against my chest and I felt her nod her head.

"Yes, SO much better. I definitely needed that nap, I feel a lot less tense and I'm not in as much pain now. Those pills work wonders, J. Thanks for being such an amazing husband, you're such a sweetheart, I love you."

I stroke her hair, "I love you too, Dems. Anything for my gorgeous girl." I smiled down at her and she smiled back.

Later on in the day... 

Demi's POV

"You know, if this house was made of chocolate, we would be homeless." I said, sprawled out on the couch. I heard Justin laugh from the chair beside me.

"No, wait, don't go to the studio." I whined, as he stood up.

"But baby, I'm only going for a couple of hours. I just need to talk with some producers and work some music stuff out." he said, as he leaned in to kiss me and I kissed him back with even more lust and love, just wanting him to stay where he is and not go anywhere.

"Stay here, J." I whispered.

"I'll be home soon, don't worry Dems." he whispered back. I just groaned at him and roled my eyes.

"You're so moody..." he laughed heading towards the door and I smirked.

"Well I'm entitled!" I said as the door closed. I pulled the blanket over myself and drifted off to sleep.

Time passed and my eyes fluttered open and I saw the living room table full of chocolate.

"Oh my God." I smiled. "Did I die? Am I in heaven?" I asked, and I heard Justin laugh behind me. I saw M&Ms and Smarties and he even picked up an Oreo milkshake.

"I knew I picked a winner." I smiled, grabbing the milkshake. He came over and gave me a big kiss on the cheek.

"Thank you, my handsome hubby."

"You're very welcome, my beautiful wifey."
