LAST HEART

XV

' Where are you off to?'

Caleb walked into their bedroom to find his wife getting dressed. It had been two weeks since they found out that they were expecting again. Amor was still mad,moody and not talking to him much.

' I am going out with the girls.'

' In that?!'

' Yes in this. It's not like I have never worn this before.'

' I thought we took the day off to spend with each other.'

' No you did that. I had today planned long before you decided to don't come here with that.'

' So your friends are much more important than me. Whose to say you are not meeting your husband.'

Amor let out a deep breath. This was getting old and that's why she needed this night off. She knew her husband was a jealous man but he was doing too much right now.

' Can you just_ aargh! Forget it.'

He changed into basketball pants and headed downstairs to the living room. He grabbed his joystick and played an action game, to blow off steam. Amore came downstairs with her clutch and promised she would be home soon.

' You know women like when their partner is jealous but they don't want you doing too much. They love their man to be possessive but not too much and right now you are making a mountain out of a molehill.'

Caleb handed his friends a beer each. They had come over after he had called them to watch a game. He figured since his wife was going to spend the day with her friends, he could do that too.

' Mike I know I am being unreasonable but she went to see her ex husband without my knowledge. A man she had been with since high school. A man she has so much history with how am I not supposed to worry. To top it all off she is not happy about being pregnant again.'

' Wow you guys are having another kid, that's great.'

Mike said

' yeah it is but she doesn't seem to think so and she asked me not to say anything until we are in the clear so please don't mention to her.'

His friends left after the game in good spirits since their favorite team had won. Amor walked in immediately after.

' How was your lunch date?'

' I was great. Too bad I couldn't take alcohol. How was your afternoon?'

Caleb did not give her an answer but instead pulled into his lap and placed his hand on her very flat stomach.

' Do you love me Amor?'

' I love you to the moon and back. So now it's my turn. Do you love me? More importantly did you ever really lub me Stebie?!'

' you play too much.'

They both burst out laughing before it became serious.

' Baby I am sorry for the way I have been behaving these past few days. I let my insecurities get in the way.'

' why would you be insecure? You're like the most sexiest man alive and I still don't believe that I am married to you or that you chose me.'

'because you are the best thing that has ever happened to me.'
