Intoxicated Romance - Episode 32

Steven:

i was already waiting for antonia in the reception room when i saw

the rain start.I had to bribe a security guard before he lent me his

umbrella. I rush outside to save her from the rain. I see antonia

walking fast toward me and i run to her. I get to where she is and she

launches her self into my arms. I catch her and she hugs me tight. I

open the umbrella and cover  the both of us. The rain fall around us

and we just hug for awhile. I hold antonia and rest my chin on her

hair. She smells so good. After awhile i pull her away from me.

"hey, what's with the hug?" i ask.

"what?. You hugged me, not the other way around." she says and starts

walking away. I run after her covering her with the umbrella.

"stop walking away from me. you'll get sick." i say and she stops.

"okay, i guess I'll just have to endure walking with you" she says then

move to my side. I put my hands around her waist and tuck her closer

to me. She lean on me and we walk into the hotel. When we get to the

elevator, i stop and raise my eye brow at antonia. She roll her eyes

then press the button for the elevator. It opens and she stroll in

without meeting my eyes. I laugh then hop in too. The ride is silent

as antonia tries to avoid my eyes.

"you know, you never told me the name of the website

where you learnt that elevators are not good for pregnant women" i say

as soon as we get off.

"shut up"she grinds out and i laugh.

"you should have just told me you wanted to be carried. By me."

"whatever" she says and walk faster to our suite.

The smell of food reminds us of the dinner we were going to have

before nelly's visit and i move to the kitchen to dish out our food

but antonia stops me.

"why don't you go in and change your clothes. You were mostly out of

the umbrella our entire walk and i don't want you to catch a cold" she

says smiling sweetly and i cant help but get suspicious.

"umm alright. I'll just change my clothes. I'll be back in five to set

the table for us"

"don't worry. Leave the setting for me. Take a long as you want" she

says. I shrug my shoulder and walk to the room to change. I make a

quick work of changing and rush back to the living room to help

antonia. I notice that she is serving only a plate of food and i help

her retrieve another plate to serve mine.

"no!. Stop!" she shouts at me.

"what?. I just want to help"

"don't help."she takes the plate from me and push me out of the kitchen.

"watch a movie or something. I'll bring the food here when I'm done"she says

"here? what's wrong with the dining?"

"stop questioning me and do what i say!" she snap and i raise my hand

in surrender. I obediently park my butt on the couch and surf through

channels. I settle on a sport channel still wondering what antonia is

up to. About five minutes later, antonia appears with a plate of

spaghetti. No scratch that. A bowl of spaghetti. I rush and help her

with it.

"woah. Who's gonna eat this?" i ask after placing it on the table.

"what? Its too much?" she asks.

"well, yea.look at it""its not too much for four people" she says

pointing to her stomach and i laugh.

"oh sorry. I totally forgot we have company. Come on, sit. You must be

hungry" i say and sit her beside me on the couch.

"i don't normally eat much" she says in her defence and i give her a

thumbs up. She prays on the meal and we commence eating. Its silent

for awhile until antonia speaks.

"nelly told me about the conflict between you and your brother. Am so

sorry, my land made it worse and drove him insane"she says.

"this isn't your fault sweets. You should never think that. I should

be the one apologizing for getting you almost killed. I really hope

you can forgive me"i say and she just gives me a sad smile. I don't

want to push her. If she isn't ready to have this talk, i won't force

it.

"okay enough of the sad talk. Let finish this meal and get some rest" i

say and take the last spoon of food. I see antonia staring at me and i

stop with the food halfway to my mouth.

"what?" i ask

"umm you are going to eat that?" she asks

"ofcourse. Is anything wrong with that?"

"not really" she says. Why is she acting so strange over a spoon of

food?. I shrug and am about to put the food in my mouth when antonia

stomps off to the room.

"hey, baby. What have i done again?." i ask as i run after her.

"leave me alone" she slams the door and i hear the door click lock.

"hey, come on. Open the door"i knock but she does not reply. After

knocking for some minutes without any success, i relent and walk back

to the living room. What could i have done wrong now?. Pregnancy

hormones is so frustrating to live with oh. I rub my neck in

frustration and lie on the couch. A sudden lightning lights the sky

and a violent thunder strikes. I hear antonia scream and she comes

running towards me. She jumps on the couch with me and hide her face

in my neck. She presses her body to mine and mind you, i am not

complaining.

"babe, its just thunder" i say soothingly.

"its scary" she says and i laugh.

"are you laughing at me?" she raise her face and glare at me. I raise

my hands up in surrender again.

"no! Me? Godforbid. You know i will never do that na" she smile a bit and yawns.

"you did! So as punishment, you have to sing me to sleep"she says and

snuggle into me again. I sing her numerous songs and we lie on the

couch snuggled together for almost an hour before she finally fall

asleep and I carry her to our bed.
