To Love and Avenge

chapter 53

I stiffened under his warm hug. He has always have the same efffect on me since that blissful night with him.

I ever thought that my hatred for him will turn into this kind of feelings.

I don't know if he felt my reaction, but no doubt that I heard him smirk at me before he lay down behind me. His arms still on top of me while his breath keep on fanning my nape, snuggling there from time to time.

My breathing come to halt when he do that, as it sends thousand of volts at my very fiber.

I missed this, us staying this close. I feel like I was on cloud nine when he held me this way, something that you wish that you could saty there for the rest of your life. But the reality told us otherwise.

Still doting on at my invested feelings, my stomach produces a sound of loud growl. Like a lion was trapped inside.

Hearing it, I prayed that he is now past asleep and wished that he didn’t hear those grumping sounds. It would be very embarassing.

Blame this all to my pregnancy…

“Hey, your monster is growling.” he connotes as he proped his head to my side.

I didn’t answer, instead, i tried even harder this time to pretend my sleeping. But I guess, I’m not good at pretending when my enemy is my little buddy down there.

“I know you’re awake. Come here, I’ll feed you.” he persistently insested.

“Okay, if you’re not going to wake up, then I will eat you instead.” He coerced, and move slightly on top of me.

Getting frightened by his coercion, I propped my head up and pushed him away.

“Okay fine!” I exclaimed, while eyeing at him to cover up my embarrassment.

I was like a child caught up doing tricks for something. I pout, feeling my cheeks feels the burning sensation, I should know better than blushing red under his sight.

He grin at my sudden reaction when it registered fear. Of course, who wouldnt? Then I rolled my eyes to him as I make my way out of the bed.

He followed from behind as he c***k soft laughters on me.

This man is very vicious! He knows very well how to frighten a cat. I thought silently cursing him.

Stomping heavily as I walk in the kitchen’s direction, I cant help thanking him silently from his effort. If not, me and the little moster would end up crawling for food somewhere else.

Maybe, today is the right time to tell him, as later on I couldn’t hide my growing bump from him.

JUdging from his current behavior, it wont be hard for me to tell him and can’t stop expecting for im to be happy at my soon news.

The nearer we come to the kitchen, the stronger the aroma of the food lingers on my nostrils leaving me silently salivating inside.

Just then, the moment I set my eyes on the table, gawking at the sight connot contain my hunger and excitement anymore. So, I hurried my pace and sat directely on the waiting chair and started to dug the food.

I don't care about embarrasing myself anymore, the monster made me do this and he might be cravings his dady’s prepared foods.

Dauis chuckles at the sight of me digging the food like a pig then sat beside me.

“Hey easy, you look like you haven’t ate for ages.” He joked. Amusingly looking at me who at the moment doesn’t give a d*mn sh*t on his mockings.

“Shut up! I will deal with you later when I’m full.” i said with a mouthful of foods, waving him the fork that I am holding.

He just laugh at it and said, “you eat like a pig.”

Well, that’s kind of below the belt and somewhat offensive, but I don’t care about it.

“You make me do this!” I mumbled under the food, rolling my eyes on him and continued to eat.

I missed his cooked food. They are very delicious and it makes me feel like eating whatever he cook for the whole day. Believe me, Maria’s cooking is exceptionally delicious, very far from Dauis’s, but I find Dauis’s foods like home to me.

Forgetting about the coordination of chewing and swallowing, I cough as my hands make its way to my throat, bugging my eyes and my face started to turn blue as I started choking.

Dauis, who was previously laughing has cut off and widen his eyes as he saw me. He quickly stood up and positioned himself from behind me, applying pressure on my upper abdomen and lifted me up as he slap my back at the same time.

After the second attempt, I recovered my breathing and thanked him for his saving grace.

“What was that? You should know bwtter in chewing properly.” He scolded at me worriedly.

I know I was red all over due to embarrassment, while he, his face reddened in worriedness,

“Sorry.” I said lowering my head to hide the shame I feel.

“What are you, pregnant? That you eat like that. Even pregnant woman would not eat as much as you do.” He continued to scold me, but this time, he was more calmer.

I look up at his face looking directly in his eyes helplessly. I don’t need to say a word to make him understand. Then slowly trail my eyes downward while I held my breath, then turn back up again pressing my lips together,

“So you’re— wait, are you saying you’re pregnant?” he said with a stoical face.

Looking at him at how he took the news out of his own observation, he remain motionless and evasive about it.

All my excitements and hope eluded away as I watch him, he was clearly trying to retract what he was just said. He remain silent as he gawp in me.

After a few moments of standing there clueless as to what might Dauis feel, my shoulders fell down as I retract my eyes from him and awkwardly averted it somewhere.

All my hope was gone…

Sensing my moroseness, his eyes lit up and walk slowly to me.

“Really Ale? Is it?” he asked impulsively.
