Where I belong.

Part 31- Night at the mansion

I was in the kitchen preparing dinner. I loved cooking and it seemed to release the stress. I felt a hug from behind me. It was John.

"Hey baby how was work?" I asked.
"Everybody asking me why you weren't there." He chuckled.
"You didn't tell them did you?"
"No. Not yet." He grabbed an apple.
"I don't know. Give it time."
"You don't want to do this?"
"No no. It will be too much for them to process."
"Don't worry about it."
"I made you supper. Hope you're hungry."
"I'm starving. It feels good to come home to my beautiful woman and a kitchen that smells so good."
"You've had Christina" I chuckled.
"You know what I mean." he laughed.
"Go freshen up. The food will be ready in a few."

I watched him dance upstairs. I had never seen John this happy. I was preparing the table when Chrisitna walked in.

"Ooh Christina. You should join us for supper."
"Oh no ma'am I not want to intrude."
"Nonsense, please."
"If you insist. I hope Mr. Smith alright with it though?"
"He will be fine."

John had finished taking his shower and came downstairs to a table of chicken,rice,pumpkin and spinach made with cream. I could tell he was touched. That this was what he has been dreaming of. He looked at the table then looked up at me.

"I am so lucky to have you Gwendolyn."
I looked down sheepishly.

We sat down together at the long dinner table. I sat one one end and he sat on the other. Christina walked in and I signaled she could see wherever. John looked uncomfortable. Almost like he didn't want her here with us. Maybe he wanted us to spend time alone. I don't know.

After supper I cleared the table and told Christina she could take an early night. She went to her room and I was alone in this big kitchen. John walked in.

"Hey sexy."
"Why were you so uncomfortable at the dinner table?"
"Maybe because I wanted us to have our first legit supper together?"
"Relax babe. You have the rest of your life with me. There are many more to come."
"Well...what a way to put it. I have a long day tomorrow at work. Goodnight."
"Oh...n-night." My heart sank.

I thought he would offer to help me with the dishes. I mean that's what Bandz did. We helped each other with the dishes. That's one of the chances where you get to catch up on someone's day went. He didn't bother to stay in the kitchen. He went upstairs to that big bed.

Later, when I was done in the kitchen, I went upstairs. I walked into our bedroom and I head straight for the bathroom. It was relaxing. I took a warm shower. I walked out when I was done. I went into my walk-in-closet and picked out some lingerie to sleep in. I wasn't trying to lure him but I had a variety of clothes and garments picked out for me when I moved here. I knew I wasn't going to sleep immediately so I pulled out the iPad from the closet so that I can read in bed.

I slipped into bed next to my new fiancé and read from iBooks. When I was finished, I turned my side lamp out, laid down and closed my eyes. I could feel him caressing me. Was he even sleeping? I ignored it and tried to get eye shut. After an hour he was making moves on me trying to make love me.

"Uhm...John?" I cleared my throat.
"Mhm?" He replied in his sleep.
"We can't. Not yet. Only after the wedding."
"Mhmm." He agreed.

I personally thought it would be good to wait until after our wedding.

I lay on my pillow but deep inside I was wondering how they were back home. How was Bandz feeling? Was the bed cold without me? Because this one was cold but maybe it will change with time.
