I tried so hard to discard that horrible memory and experience. Why did it come back to haunt me now?
*************************************************
The next day...
I was so out of it I couldn't concentrate on my work and kept spacing out. I didn't even eat breakfast and lunch.
Leon noticed it and asked about it but I said I was fine.
This isn't you Olivia, what is going on? I didn't want to talk at first, but I knew he would keep asking so what's the point?
These days I keep having the same nightmare. I see a dead baby in a coffin, I said my voice cracking. He hugged me and I broke down in tears, old memories resurfacing.
Leon's P.O.V
No wonder she didn't sleep the whole week, she was being haunted by something that happened in the past and here I was sleeping every single night while she couldn't, I felt awful and didn't know how to console her.
Her tears were like needles piercing my heart.
She cried till she fell asleep in my arms, I stayed still like a statue, hoping she would at least sleep for a few hours. I slowly lay her down on the couch, placing her head on my laps.
If only I hadn't traveled, if only I was with her at that particular time, maybe she wouldn't have lost the baby, anytime I remembered, I felt awful.
I didn't know she would agree to stop taking the birth control pills, maybe she wanted to give it a try. I watched her sleep peacefully, looking relaxed. I don't know how long she slept but I eventually fell asleep and only woke up in the evening.
She still hadn't woken up, I slowly stood up, making sure I didn't wake her up in the process.
And went to the kitchen to make dinner, I didn't want to create a scene like I did the last time so I decided to make something simple. I made spaghetti and meatballs I went to the living room and was surprised to see she was still sleeping
Olivia? Olivia, wake up. I shook her lightly and her eyes shot open. Leon? She sat up, rubbing her eyes. How and when did I fall asleep? It's a long story, I said. Anyways dinner is ready, let's go and eat.
Dinner? You cooked? She asked surprised. Yes I did, I said proudly, what did you cook? It's a secret, I said. She was surprised to see what I prepared.
Don't lie to me Leon, did you order it? Of course I didn't, I cooked it by myself. This looks good, she said licking her lips.
She took a bite and gasped, wow this is delicious she said giving me a thumbs up. She quickly emptied her plate, and even asked for more.
Looks like she regained her appetite, I barely nibbled at mine. Why are you not eating? I forced myself to eat a bit more and pushed the plate away.
Are you not hungry? She asked. I am hungry but not for this type of food. It took her a minute to understand what I was saying.
You are always hungry, she said. I already told you, I can't get enough of you.
I physically, sexually, emotionally can't get enough of you. "I want you everyday"
Why do I always get aroused with your words?
She said, making her way to me. She sat on my laps, wrapping her soft body against mine. My hands subconsciously wrapped around her waist, pulling her closer.
Our lips connected in a hot kiss, she bit my lips softly and I groaned in approval. Her slender neck inviting. Let's continue this in the bedroom
