Always Silent

Chapter 25

Nik booked us into a hotel, I was still sobbing partly because of my hormones, and the fact Hillary matched my amount of sadness when I announced my leave we had parted with the knowledge that we would see each other once again but even through her crisp eyes I could tell we were both lying.

I sit and stare at him as the shameless clerk flirted with my husband, something I was beginning to get fed up with and no...my anger wasn't just aimed at the clerk. But even as the anger swelled I let it go, I don't want to be too emotional because we end up at a disagreement and I don't feel like being away from Nik enough to be mad at him and to teach him a pointless lesson.

"Quinn," I looked up my swollen eyes glassy once again as Nik wrapped a secure comforting arm around my swollen belly.

I am beginning to think that something is up, I'm looking like a five month pregnant lady not a three and a half month pregnant lady!

I wondered if Nik noticed, "Don't you think I'm a little too big for my pregnancy?"

Nik just looked down and as if sensing something he cocked is head to the side, "You're right," he mumbled but left it at that, before kissing the side of my head directly below my ear.

My breath quickened, and I heard him chuckle. I roll my eyes, at some stage in our relationship he had discovered all my sensual pressure points, I would be cross with him but it seems he enjoys creating a stir out of me.

"You know I never took you out on a date?" he questioned.

I giggle softly when he licked upwards the couple looked at Nik in shock, "You should be ashamed of yourself," I slap his chest playfully.

"Well I'll go put these inside and we'll go, I'll take you out on our very first date, Nik's way," he grinned patting my bum as he placed the bags in the corner of the penthouse.

I wish I could be properly dressed for our first date but I guess I'll have to make do with cotton maternity dress and messy waves of brown hair. As I waited for Nik some dude dressed in a red uniform approached me with a sly grin, "Are you alright Baby Cakes?" I blink looking at him multiple times, is he blind? I'm pregnant and I have a ring on my left finger!

"Yeah, thanks," I said awkwardly trying to scope how long Nik could be.

"Don't be shy, I don't bite..." he winked continuing his abnormal behaviour.

Who says I won't bite? "I better go my husband will be waiting for me," I said trying to usher myself away but I caught sight of Nik coming down from the elevator, when he saw the attendant he rolled his eyes at my scared face.

I watched as he marched straight towards me throwing a tip at the idiot who looked at it in surprise obviously noting the smugness in Nik's eyes as he took my arm and my waist.

"So where are we going?" and take note that if he tries to pull that 'it's a surprise' crap I will turn around so freaking fast it's not funny, my pregnant temper is very short, as well as my patience. Nik noticed and answered without hesitation, "There is a river a few blocks from here, I would like to take you there..." I smile in admiration as we continued to walk until my feet complained and Nik carried me the rest of the way, I'm still surprised by his strength.

"Man how much can you bench press!" that startled a couple who had been tossing little 'awws' at us.

Nik didn't answer and I think that it was bringing up something that he had done in his past so I let it go trying to stick to a topic that we had created together, and then I finally got it.

"So can you finally tell me what the issue was when it came to protection?"

"I don't understand why you didn't just go on the pill, which you did eventually," he grumbled, "I hate putting rubber in my wife," he emphasized, "and my wife shouldn't care about being impregnated since I will care for her and our child since she is my wife," I slap his hand which had inched up my thigh.
