LAST HEART

XXIX

Caleb ran around the house making sure he had everything in order before Amor came home. It been a month since he told her the truth Amor was slowly getting closer to her due date. Amor came down a few minutes later in one of his old shirts. He pulled her a chair from the dinner table and gave her her food before he himself sat down to eat.

' What's this about?'

' Can't you just enjoy a candlelight dinner with your husband without being suspicious?'

' I am not suspicious but I've been forgetting quite a lot of things these days and I am just hoping that it's nothing serious.'

' It's nothing like that, I just thought we could have a romantic dinner and celebrate, our marriage and everything going in our favor. I just wanted to celebrate my love for you and finding the best life partner.'

Caleb spoke holding her hands as he sat to her right. She held his face and pecked his lips a few times. He grabbed on her lower lip with his teeth when she tried to pull away and a simple kiss ended in them making out at the dinner table.

' How was work?'

' Good, so much better now that Robert has finally stopped coming over to see me. I guess we should celebrate that a whole month has gone by and he hasn't tried to see me, he's finally out of our lives for good.'

Amor noticed the uncomfortable look on her husband's face which raised her suspicions.

' What did you do?'

' I *cough*_ I *cough*__ I did nothing but just invited the guy to the club opening next month.'

' What?! Why?'

' Amor the guy knows no one around here and I am just being a friendly neighbor.'

' Wh-wh_what do you mean, neighbor?!'

' You don't know?, Robert stays three houses down from ours. I thought you knew.'

' No I didn't know but you know what, if you want to be his friend that's all fine with me but I don't want to see that man ever again in my life. He is definitely not allowed around my children or in my house.'

Caleb knew what his wife had gone through with her previous marriage but he thought she could be more forgiving, after all he was a changed man.

' I understand babe but you need to let go of this hostility towards your ex husband because you're only hurting yourself.'

' You really have a knack for ruining our special moments don't you. I forgave him. I just don't want to deal with him. Why is it that I am the bad person because I don't want to associate myself with that man. Did he bash you into a wall at three months pregnant because you find him in your matrimonial bed with another woman or did he turn his family and your family against you? No!!!He did that and more to me! So don't tell me how to _ shit!'

Amor cried out grabbing her lower abdomen as she was hit by a sharp pain. Caleb quickly stood up to help her.

' Caleb!!'

Caleb looked down as she pointed to her leg where a trickle of blood ran down it.
