THE KIDNAPPER

CHAPTER 13

My legs are swollen and my looks as if am pregnant with twins. It has been a whole nine months and I can't wait for the baby to come. The rebirth of my Dante.

In my ninth month, I moved in with Akim since my Daddy had just started his company in England and had to relocate for his supervision.

Akim has been taking care of me since then and I am so grateful to him. Am still going for counseling and Akim does not let go alone.

Am relaxing in the sitting room watching my favorite Episodes of Merlin with a glass of cold orange juice. One of the maids is busy messaging my swollen legs after accompanying me for a short walk to a nearby pack to buy ice cream and back to the house.

"Honey am home." I just turned my head to the doorway and saw Akim standing there with a big smile plastered on his faces. He walked towards me and kissed my forehead.' Hi,  dear." I whispered. He gave me the frowning face due to the word dear. "Dear! like really?" "Okay okay, sweetheart, are you happy now? I asked bored." I love it that way and you know I love you. Don't you?" I just waved my hand to brush him off. "Anyway, tell me how was your day in the office?"
  "It was fine at least the paperwork was minimal and I canceled all my afternoon meetings just to be with you." "Whatever just assist me to my room please I need to rest."
"Shalline honey, why are you in such sore mood today?" but truth be told I was in a very pathetic moon.
"Am just tired  of my condition  and I look  like an elephant and to make it worse  my legs are swelling  and they hurt like  a bitch."
I walked slowly toward the staircases but Akin couldn't take it anymore of the agony I was going through with my swollen legs.  He stopped me and directed my hand behind his neck then scooped me off the floor carefully to my bed.
" Baby, you are so beautiful today and your face is glowing. "  I just smiled at him.  " And you?  You are smoking hot," we all bursted in a peal of laughter as he rested his forehead on mine staring on my lips. He pressed his lips on mine and we kissed.
The kiss was nothing compared to  Dante's.  Damn,  I really miss him. Akim has always been there for me and my pregnancy. Every now and then he could press his ear on my belly and start a conversation with the unborn child. Other times when he torched the belly,  he earned himself a kick and that made him very happy.
"I can't wait for the day I will hold our baby in my arms.  I will  teach him how to walk, play football and ride a bike."
Akim has been patient with me since I moved in with him and he has never tried anything intimate other me.
Enough of the chat,  I need to lay down on my side.  He helps lower myself on the bed.  "Please sweetheart,  will you mind messaging my lower back and my waistline? " "Anything for my baby. "
The discomfort in my body was unexplainable.  I was in bed but then I didn't want to take a nap anymore but just to walk. "Darling,  I don't  need to  sleep anymore."I addressed Akim.  All this brought confusion to him and I could see his frustrations.  He took a moment to study me and later came up with an idea. "Let us try something different.

I was frustrated with the change of decision and moods by Shally. I  didn't know what exactly she wanted or going through.  Studying her for a moment I noticed she was uncomfortable still unsure of what she wanted. Let try something new and see how it goes.
I left to the bathroom and filled the bathtub with warm water.  I left for the bedroom and stripped her naked.  She gasps but managed to make her relax.  Leading her to the bathroom,  I helped her to the bathtub and noticed her relaxing in the warmth inside water.
She closed her eyes and laid her head at the back of the tub.  A smile was visible on her face and mostly her tender lips.  I missed kissing them.

 "Thank you, " she whispered while pressing a kiss on my lips.  It was then when I realized that I had moved so close to her face when I loved in her smiling face. "You are welcome. " I was embarrassed because every time she caught me drooling over her beauty.  Truth be told,  I love this woman and I would do anything even murder to make her mine.

"Something different?  What the heck is going on! " I was confused in my thoughts but decided to wait and see what he was up to.  He left to the bathroom and later came back and started stripping me naked. " What the fuck are you doing? " the smile on his face made me relax.  I trusted him with my life but the last thing  I have thought is having sex with  Akim.
He leads me to the bathroom then to the tub.
I closed my eyes in a relaxing mode.  " Oh Good  Lord, this man is genius. How did he know what I needed? " I opened my eyes and saw his lips an inch away from mine.  I reached and planted a kiss and said thank you.  I couldn't hide a smile due to the confusion plaster on his face. " Do I really love him or what? I used to love him during those days when he used to sneak into my room without Chirry knowing but since I met Dante the love of my life, everything changed and now am not sure if I still need him in my life. "That is a riddle which  I have never solved. 

I better and at ease after a while when Akim helped me out of the water and wiped my body dry and pressed a kiss on my belly. " I need to take a nap now, "I informed. relaxed and like a baby I slept.
