When I Was 20 Years Old (Mature content) (Complete)

Chapter 3 - David

The rest of our holiday had been tense. Alex hadn't let me touch her since our wedding. I had a feeling it was to do with our mini argument we had had that night, but at the same time I knew there was more going on because she doesn't hold grudges for this long over something so petty.

Today was the first day in almost a week that we had touched. This morning she had hugged me and told me she loved me and then refused to let go of my hand. I wanted more than anything to ask what was bothering her, so much so that it hurt, but I knew not to push her, and besides, we were at the airport and would soon be flying home and, hopefully, away from the problem to allow us to get on with our lives and continue to plan the arrival of our new baby girl.

"I love you David," Alex murmured.

"Baby what's up?" I asked.

Her face stiffened and eyebrows furrowed, "Can I not tell you I love you?"

I lightly kissed her forehead, "I love you too treacle!"

Her face softened and spilt into a grin, "Did you really just call me treacle?"

"Mmmmm hum," I replied.

She slide her hand up my cheek and gently pulled me in for a kiss. It was soft and slow and gave me a nostalgic feeling of the past. Way back in the past when  we shared our first forbidden kiss that should not have ever happened. I had to pull away because I was smiling too much.

"What?" She laughed.

"You. You were one month away from begin sixteen," I reminded her.

Alex rolled her eyes, "You bring that up here?"

"Why not?" I asked.

She smiled, "It was a beautiful kiss. I was worried I'd never be kissed like that again..."

"Kissed like what?" I asked, confused.

Alex glanced at the floor, "Kissed with so much love but someone who loves me."

I kissed her again, "You never have to worry about that!"

"Promise?" She asked.

"Why do you have to ask?" I asked.

She sighed, "I dunno."

"Baby what's going on?" I asked finally.

She opened her mouth to speak, but then decided against it, "Nothing."

She snuggled into me, signifying the end of our conversation. I loved Alex with every fibre of my being but she could be a stubborn bitch but it was one of the many things that I had fallen in love with. I only wished she'd let me help her with her problem.

I pushed the door closed before Alex threw herself at me, pinning me to the wall. Her mouth aggressively attacked mine as we found our way up the stairs and to our bedroom. Clothes flew off our bodies in our heated passion.

"I plan to get what you promised me!" She breathed into my ear.

"Babe you don't..."

"David I want you!" She moaned.

I picked her up and collapsed on the bed with her underneath me. Her need in her eyes made me harder. I was always weak when it came to the promise of feisty, heated sex with my wife. She was the one person I could never control myself around.

"Baby!" She screamed as I drove into her.

"Oh god Alex!" I cried.

"Baby don't stop!"

My fingers delicately draw small circles on my wife's shoulder. Her body cocooned into mine, snoring softly in her sleep. She shivered slightly in her sleep, so I pulled the duvet further up her body to cover her shoulders. We had been laying like this for several hours now after alternating between sleep and sex. We may not be able to go for as long as we use to, but it never got unenjoyable.

"What's the time?" Alex murmured.

"Nine I think," I replied, "Got back to sleep."

"Morning or evening?" She mumbled.

"Morning," I replied before kissing her head.

She groaned, "We should get up."

"Why?" I laughed.

"Because it's nine," she said, slipping out from under the covers.

"And I'm retired," I pointed out.

I watched her secure the tie on her dressing gown before turning away and facing me. She placed her hands on her hip and popped her hips to the left. She said nothing but the message was clear to me. I rolled my eyes before also pulling myself out of bed and shrugging on my dressing gown. I knew she wanted to get the bed lining washed before the kids woke up. She was paranoid about them seeing we were still sexually active, despite her already being pregnant.

The house was relatively empty at the moment as Lance had moved in with Martha and Jason was staying at Bradley's house. The only other people in the house were Aurora and Luke, who were at the other side of the house. Never the less, I followed her wishes.

As she shoved the sheets into the wash, I put the kettle on to make us both a coffee, well myself a coffee and Alex a tea. I kissed my wife's cheek and she laughed. Her eyes were barely open as I handed her the cup of tea.

"I'm sorry for the past couple of days," she said finally.

"What are you apologising for?" I laughed, "You are allowed to be mad."

"Yeah but not on our holiday," she protested.

"So what happened then?" I asked.

"I wasn't mad at you," she sighed.

"So what were you upset about baby," I pressed.

"It's..."

We were interrupted by the sudden ringing and knocking on the room. We both looked at each other in confusion. We weren't expecting anyone today because all our close friends and family were with us on holiday and so, consequently, still at home.

"Mind getting that babe?" She asked, sinking into a chair.

"They can wait..."

"No go get that door," she replied, kissing my cheek, "It's probably some more stuff for the baby."

I kissed her cheek and she smiled at me. I took a gulp of my coffee before walking out the kitchen and down the hall towards the front door. I knew now that Alex would think of every excuse not to talk about what was bothering her, and for that I cursed the unknown visitor.

"Look it's too early....Warren?"

I looked at my son in disbelief. We have left him in Vegas so I had to blink several times before I believed what I was seeing in front of me. With him was the girls I recognised as his wife and daughter.

"Hey," he said, "This is unexpected but can we stay with you for a bit?"

"Who is it?" Alex asked as she wandered towards the door.

She looked and Warren and Warren looked at her. If I hadn't been married to her I would have missed it, but I noticed her shrink.
