LAST HEART

X

'Caleb,you blew things way out of proportion. You did not even let me explain before you stormed out and then you do not talk to me because I talked about my feelings. Which you asked me about.'

Caleb sat next to his wife and held her hand in his.

'Babe I know I asked but it hurt to know I've been neglecting you. When you agreed to be mine,Amor,I made a promise to myself never to make you cry or make you feel unloved and me storming out was not because I was mad at you but because I was mad at myself. I felt like I failed you. It's just unfortunate that it took me weeks to decide how to apologise.'

Amor sat on his lap facing him with her thighs on either side of his.

'Storming out makes the situation worse. I understand that you have been very busy with your company and I was not complaining. I just wanted to say thank you for that weekend. Please talk to me and don't shut me out.'

' That's no excuse though. I made promises and vows to you that I tend to keep. I'm really sorry for my behavior before and this past week.

Caleb grabbed her neck gently,kissing her sensually before standing up with her on his waist and turned,placing her on their bed. He hovered above her as tears dripped onto his wife.

'Babe talk to me,what's wrong? Caleb you are scarring me.'

' I just love you so much.'

He wiped away his tears continuing with his make out session. She did not give in immediately but after some coaxing she finally gave in. Caleb was an emotional man but this was a first for both of them so she felt that something was amiss but she would wait in him to tell him what was troubling him.

' I love you Amor. Never ever forget that. You and our girls are the best thing that ever happened to me.'

Amor woke up clunching her lower abdomen as a sharp pain shot through her and her uterus felt like it was being wrung.

'Babe are you okay?'

'Yeah,go back to sleep. Its just period pains.'

Caleb saw how in pain she was,he knew she suffered from period pains,so he did not force the issue. He watched her as she tried to stand up but the pain was unbearable.

'Do you need anything? I can go get it for you.'

'No I will be fine baby,I just need a warm bottle and pain medicine. I will go get it in the medicine cabinet.'

'No!, I mean relax...I will go get them for you.'

He practically jumped off the bed and ran into their bathroom. She  found Caleb's behaviour strange. He behaves like she was dying but let it go due to the excruciating pain she was feeling,she lay back down while he went to get her tablets.
