Forever It Could Be (Book 2, Being Edited)

Chapter 11

My eyes opened up to an unfirmiliar ceiling and it took me a few seconds to register where I was. I was in London in Rheese's bedroom.
My stomach did a somersault, not giving me time to admire my surroundings as a wave of nausiness washed over me. Bolting for the bathroom I was glad that Rheese was nowhere in sight.
My head hung in the toilet as I brought up the little I had in my stomach.
Next a wave of panicked hit me.
' Oh my god. Don't tell me that I could be pregnant again.'

This was the last thing that I wanted to happen now. Not with all that was going on in our lives. Not with me still recovering from what happened not that long ago.
I went over to the hand basin and washed my mouth with some toothpaste that was on the marble counter and dried my mouth. As if to wash away the possibility of being pregnant again.
I was so tired yesterday that I didn't unpack any of my toiletries.

Fishing through my suitcase I took out my toiletry bag and went back into the bathroom to clean up properly. I was brushing my teeth when I saw Rheese through the corner of my eye, leaning against the wall, staring at me.
"Are you just gonna keep on staring at me?" I said, with my mouth half full of toothpaste.
If only he knew that a minute ago I had my head in the toilet...the thought of how Rheese would react was one I didn't want to think of.
"I can do much more than just stare." he said and then made his way over to me, holding me down with that blue eyes of his.

"You look delectable. Do you now that?" She looked cute with her mouth covered in toothpaste. It didn't really matter what Liz looked like in the morning, she still made me hard.
"Hey, I'm not food, blue eyes," she replied, laughing.
As much as I wanted to lay her down again, we had to still drive to my mom's.
After giving her a lingering kiss, I left Liz to get dressed.

Lillian was on the phone when I went down to make breakfast.
From what I could make out of the conversation, it must have been her daughter Sophia that she was talking to. Greeted her with my own from of sign language and went to put on the coffee machine and the kettle.
"Good morning, Rheese." she said as she came to stand at the kitchen counter.
"Good morning, Lillian. Hope you had a good sleep?" Pouring tea for her.
"Lillian my mom invited you for lunch and I hope you don't mind but I've excepted on your behalf."
"Oh dear. That was Sophia on the phone just now. She's picking me up in an hour," she replied.
"Not too worry. They can come with us. My mom won't mine." Trying to put her mind at ease.
After reasuring her again that it will not be a problem, Lillian seemed to be content.

I was on the phone with my mom when Liz made her appearance from the bedroom.
She winked at me before she disappeared to search for her mom.

As I thought my mom was delighted that she was meeting Elizabeth's whole family.
After breakfast Liz was with her mom and made some calls before the drive to my mom's.
I was in my study when the doorbell rang. Liz came looking for me to answer the door.
As she came stand by the door, one look from her was all it took to make me hard. She had on a floral sundress with flat pumps. Her hair was hanging down around her shoulders. I sometimes forgot just how young she still was.
"Stop staring. The door, Rheese!" I scolded.
"Why don't you answer it." I walked up to her. Planting a wet kiss on her lips. She turned around and I smacked her ass.
"It's our house Liz. You don't need me to answer the door. You need to get use to it. Soon to be Mrs. Carter."
Pulling her against my chest, kissing her with all the love I had inside my heart for her.

I still could not believe I was engaged to Rheese. There was a lot I would have to get use to. Just then my mom made an appearance as I doorbell rang again.
"Will one of you get the door. You don't want your sister to leave," my Mom said, startling both of us, being in our love bubble.
Rheese released me reluctantly and walked to the door and opened it.

My sister, her husband Peter and the kids we're standing at the entrance with big smiles on their faces. As Peter met Rheese's eyes, his smile changed into pure anger.

' What the hell just happened? Did Rheese know Peter?'

I gently nudged Rheese out of the way and greeted my sister and the kids. What ever was going on between these two...god forbid. I could hardly think straight. I was still feeling the after effects from throwing up.

"Come in you guys. We can go shortly after Rheese puts mom's things in the car.
"Lizzy, who knew you would ever find mister right," Sophia said, as she walks past me.
"By the way, mister right found me," I replied back to her, winking.
As I was waiting for the boys to come back inside, I peeped out the door and saw them having a heated conversation.
They somehow must know each other. I would have to ask Rheese when I got a chance.

I couldn't believe when I opened the door that I would see Gerry's brother Peter standing infront of me.
Fuck.
One more thing to tell Liz.
I was regretting being a playboy.
My past has caught up with me. Try as I might to have changed my ways, the past will come and haunt you.
When I came back inside Liz had a questioning look on her face.
"Not now Liz, later. We need to go."

Puzzled by with what just happened, I didn't say anything back to Rheese. It wasn't like Rheese to behave this way towards someone he just met.
I didn't want to have a discussion about his behavior infront of my mom and sister. Let alone the kids.

It's been a long time since I saw my nieces and I just wanted to enjoy the time I will be spending with them. They have grown so much. My hand flang up to my belly and the loss of my baby came flooding back.
Was I ever gonna really get over losing my baby? I could only hope.

My mom went with my sister in their car, wanting to be with her grandchildren, and Rheese and myself drove in his car.
The journey to his mom's house was a silent one. The only sound that could be heard was that of the radio playing.
I was troubled by what happened between him and Peter and I had a unsettling feeling in the pit of my stomach. I just couldn't shake the feeling of doom. The more I thought about it, the more I started to worry that something was terribly wrong.

All I needed was for our lives to be turned upside down again.
