Pharaoh's Queen {HIATUS}

71: "Uncomfortable Sacrifices "

Khai's P.O.V

She had her feet on my chest as she sprawled out on the bed trying to get comfortable.

"My feet hurt," she complained.
"I just want to sleep."

"You just woke up, how are you still tired."

"I did not sleep well. I was uncomfortable."

I lifted my head up so my face would not come in contact with her ever moving feet. "Kiya, Love , could you please settle down for me?"

"I am so sorry," she sighed as she got up.

"I know you are frustrated and uncomfortable," I said to her softly. " You just need to calm down."

"I am trying," she pouted. She went on her side and curled up in her protective ball of comfort while still try to keep her feet resting on me.

"Better?"I asked.

"Mmmm," she groaned.

A small smiled formed on my lips as I watched her finally settle.As uncomfortable as I was, her comfort was over mine and I was hoping I could bare it just until she was asleep.

"Sorry," I heard her say. "I know they are heavy right now."

"It is fine," I said as I hugged her feet. "I can take it."

"He is growing and the more he grows. Most times I can barely manage."

"No, no,no, do not cry."

"I am not crying,"she covered her face. " I am not used to being so emotional! I am feeling too much," she got up.

"You are doing perfectly fine.You do not have to get up." I was too late. She just got comfortable. "Kiya," I covered my face and sighed.

"I am sorry !"

"Calm down please ."

"I am calm!"

"No you are shouting. You need to stop," I spoke calmly. There was not much I could do, she still had me trapped under her feet.

"Sorry."

" You do not have to apologize, please just calm yourself. This is not good for you."

She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. "I really need to get myself together. I do not like being like this," she sighed as took her feet from my chest.
I gritted my teeth as I felt the weight being lifted off my chest.
She glanced at me from the corner of her eyes and a dropped all expression from my face .  "Are you fine? Is something wrong?"

"Wrong? Nothing at all is wrong . Why would you ask that?"

"Well you are about to rip through the sheets."

Looked at my hands to see them balled up into a fist clutching onto the cloth .

"Well everything is fine," I gave her a smile of reassurance. I could not tell her my chest was still sore and her feet on me was making it worse. She needs her feet up . She will never comfortable until they are up.

" Do not smile with me ," she lowered her eyes. "Just tell me."

" I have nothing to tell you. You really need to relax . Promise ."

She sat up staring at me as if she was picking my lies apart.
"Can I put my feet up?" She got soft again.

"Go ahead," I said as I tried not to rethink my choices. I knew once she finds out she will be upset.Pregnant Kiya was more frightening than normal Kiya.
She was soon asleep once her feet were up. I exhaled in relief.
