I've been waiting

Chapter 18

Sabrina POV

Arriving home from our weekend getaway, my hangover is still running wild. All I want to do is sleep and not wake up for at least a week. Getting out of the car, Michael throws me the keys to the house. He grabs the bags from the car and I unlock the door. "Ah, home sweet home". I put the keys onto the hall table and make my way to the couch.

I watch Michael as he takes the bags to our bedroom. He comes back and joins me on the couch. He pulls my legs onto his lap and starts rubbing my feet and calves. "You hungry Doll face?" He asks me while still rubbing my legs. "A man after my own heart. I could seriously demolish some honey chicken and fried rice right now" As soon as the words have left my mouth my stomach grumbles at just the thought of that delicious food.

Michael pulls his phone out and orders from our favourite Chinese restaurant. Not even 40 minutes later there is a knock at the door. Michael gets up to get it and comes back in with mouth watering food in a bag. I sit up straight reaching for the food before Michael swiftly pulls it back. "Kiss me first and then I will feed you" I sit up straighter and pucker up my lips for his. He leans down and kisses me gently. Michael's hand goes to the back of my head. With one of my hands I grab the food bag out of his hand and use my free hand to push him back.

We sit in absolute silence while eating our meals. After eating I lean back on the couch rubbing my fully belly, groaning that I ate too much too quickly. Michael chuckles at me "I can't wait to see you rub your belly when my baby is in there" I smile at Michael "I can't wait babe. But first I need sleep and a week worth of it"

Michael gets up and goes into the bathroom. I can hear the water running. My curiosity got the best of me, so I peeled myself off the couch and go into the bathroom to see what is up to. The smell of lavender assaults my senses. "What are you doing babe?" Michael turns back to me. "Strip" he demands. I don't second guess what he has said and start taking off my clothes. Once the bath was filled, Michael approaches me and picks me up bridal style. "I will leave you in here. Relax. Once you are done call me and I will come back in and get you out"

Michael places me in the bath and leaves the room. I relax back into the bath. The water comes up to my chin and I get lost in the water and bubbles. I rest my head on the bath tub and close my eyes moaning in the process. The water is warmish hot and is relaxing all my muscles. Thirty minutes later my skin is all wrinkled like a prune. I call out for Michael and he comes in. He helps me stand and wraps a towel around my body.

"You look like an old person. Are you sure you are only 19, Sabrina?" I swat Michael on his arm and laugh at his joke. "Now I must sleep the night away" I say to Michael, with a yawn. He carries me to the bedroom and lays me on the bed in my towel. He throws me a t shirt of his. I slip it on and get under the covers. I am asleep even before my head hits the pillows.

I wake the next morning to my alarm blaring in one ear and Michael snoring in the other. Have I ever mentioned before that I hate Mondays? The worst day out of the week is upon us again and I am not looking forward to my 9 hours of stacking shelves and serving snotty old biddies.

I get up and jump in the shower. I quick wash myself, get out and wrap a towel around my body. Brush my teeth and hair. Pulling my hair up into a high pony tail. I get dressed and head into the kitchen for breakfast. Michael is already cooking pancakes. I pour us both a coffee and take a seat at the counter. "I hate Mondays" I tell Michael. He turns to look at me with a sly smile. "You can always quit babe. I do make enough for the both of us for you to live a life of leisure" he winks at me and I roll my eyes at him. "I am not some 50's housewife Michael. I would still like to be independent and bring money in too, you know" I huff at him. "I know babe. I was just saying. It is still an option though, okay" I get up off my seat and walk to him giving him a kiss on the lips. "I know. Lets just keep doing what we are doing. Maybe one day I will take you up on that not having to work offer"

Half an hour later we have pulled up to the grocery store. "I'll be back at 5 to pick your cute arse up. Love you baby" I lean over the centre console giving Michael a kiss. "Love you too. I'll see you later". I open my door and get out. Shutting it behind me, I wave at Michael and enter the store. "Good morning Mr. Jones. Good morning Gary. I'll just go and put my stuff away and I'll be right out" The men wave at me and I make my way to the locker room.

As I enter the locker room, I walk straight into someone. I put my hands up on their chest to stop myself. I look up and notice it is Jay. He looks down at my hands and notices my engagement ring. The next thing I know is I am being flung into the lockers and my world goes black.
