I wasn't enough.

Chapter 13

Lucy's POV

I hear David's car pull up and I peek through the living room window, then sit back down on the couch. I patiently wait for him to walk through the door but for some reason it's taking 10 decades for him to come in, to be honest a snail would beat him inside. Finally I hear the door rattling so I get up and make my way over to it, a little nervous of how I should approach him. I decided to do the fake smile and polite talking until he's settled. I hold my breath until the door is swung open with a beautiful man standing in view "Hey honey" David says while kissing me on the forehead "Hey" I say shyly "What's wrong?" He asks eyes full of concern. Ugh. Where were those eyes yesterday? Or any other time I needed him huh? They certainly weren't here with his wife that's  for sure! I smile then reply "Oh nothing. It just feels like I haven't  seen you for so long" "I know. I'm sorry Lucy, it's just... - he pauses as if to figure out what to say next - work has been busy you know, except for today, but yesterday was-well it was the busiest we've ever been..." David replied. That smug prick! He lied straight to my face. What? Does he think I can't handle the truth? Or is it so big of a secret that he's  too ashamed to tell me? Well, whatever it is I am going to find out. "David... - I start - I know you weren't  busy at work yesterday and that you didn't stay at Mikes, he told me..." I look at David who is now frowning, but not the frown you do when you're angry, the kind of frown you do when I guess you've been caught lying "Anyway, I just wanted to know. Where were yesterday? And where did you stay if you didn't stay at Mikes?"

David's POV

Shit! What do I say? I can't tell her I was at Emily's that would break her in two.. and I'd most likely be kicked out on the spot. Think! Think you idiot! Uhh.... um? Do I have a brain? Because if I do it is not working right now... "Lucy listen... I know I'm apologizing way too much but I'm sorry for lying to you about yesterday... I was at The Langburt Hotel" good that buys me some time "But why?" She looks pissed now. Pausing for effect I then continue "I was there because with the pregnancy and everything I just couldn't handle it all and I felt that if I were to come home I would disappoint you. But now I see I've done much worse, I left you alone when you needed me most and I'm terribly sorry for that. I hope there's a way to make it up to you baby" that should do the trick. Get in! (Scotty T's voice from Geordie Shore. Sorry I saw the opportunity and took it...)

Lucy's POV

I can't help but think that he's lying to me. He called me baby which reminds me of Sam Smith's song, all his lies, I just don't  think I should believe him... I feel so hurt right now but I can't let him see. I know he's up to something so I'm just going to play it safe. With a soft worried look I say "Why didn't you tell me how your felt about me being pregnant? We could've talk this all out. I mean, hell, I'm terrified to have this child. I hardly know anything about them and I'm going to be conceiving  one... so don't for one second think you're on this boat alone, for all it's worth I guess I'm the captain and you're  the passenger at this rate" I smile a little to show him I care, he looks me so deep into my eyes I feel a magnetic pulse pulling me towards him. Slowly I walk over to him, place my left hand on his face and tilt it down to mine and without a second of a thought our lips are connected. The kiss is so passionate that it makes guilt rise up in my stomach which makes me uncomfortable, I slowly pull away and look into his eyes, he smiles down at me and brushes away a dangling piece of hair "You're  so beautiful Lucy. I'm the luckiest man in the entire universe" I fight off the urge from my head telling me not to trust him and envelope him in a loving hug, he hugs me back and I forget everything I'm angry about. He rubs small circles onto my back, travelling up and down my spine, I smile, why is he so sweet and handsome without trying? I do something similar on his back but instead of circles my hands are just rubbing his back slowly. We untangle from each other and look into each others eyes, he places a kiss on my cheek and then leaves to go upstairs without another word. That moment was so...... I don't even have a word.

Shortly after we've 'made up' he comes running back downstairs and into the kitchen "What are you doing?" I ask confused "Um, well I thought I could make a nice dinner for my beautiful wife" he said with a smile "Oh that would be lovely. Thanks honey" How considerate can he get? I giggle to myself "What's  so funny?" "Oh nothing" I reply covering my smile "C'mon tell me" he begged "Fine. You are" I laugh a little "What's so funny about me?" He asks making a funny face "Your face" I am now in fits of laughter. I don't  think I've  ever laughed this much in my life. "David.... Stop.... Please..." I say in between breaths "my stomach hurts.... too much" "Why? Don't you like my face?" He says making the most hideous face I could imagine. I burst out in uncontrollable laughter as I grip at my stomach trying to make the pain go away. My eyes are starting to water and the water starts to spill out, staining my cheeks. I am still laughing. I don't know what is wrong with me, maybe I've just never been so happy and having him here just brings it all out. I have finally calmed down, I wipe away my tears and stand up straight, my stomach still hurting a little. "Oh my, I haven't laughed like that ever" I say to David "Well it's good to know I can still make you smile and laugh" he looks at me smiling "Yeah. Whenever I think of you I can't  help but smile" I reply blushing "You look so cute when you blush" "Thanks" I say blowing him a kiss. "Dinner smells delicious by the way" "Only the best for you my love" he winks
