This is short compared to most of what I write but this just ramblings from a very early morning so please enjoy...😳😳😛😛
This beautiful banner goes to Appy once more for the wonderful work
I felt light, strong warm light and I shifted in my bed, bringing the blankets closer to myself and trying to snuggle more into the familiar body and warmth that always nestled next to mine.
Instead all I met was air and emptiness.
I sighed.
I paused and I opened my eyes and it took a while for my eyes to adjust to my surroundings as well from the light that was staring at me from the sunlight that was shining against my eyes.
I quickly shut them back and waited for a while until I finally decided to open my eyes again and this time I was staring at the ceiling and refusing to get up and knowing at the same time I had to.
I continued to move my hand around on the bed and I felt something that felt soft and smooth.
I looked to my side slowly and saw a small card and I smiled.
I picked it up and brought it closer to my face.
It had small little bears holding up hearts that said "I Love You" and "I'm Sorry".
I smiled and I didn't have to look to know it was from Anand and I smiled even more.
I opened the letter and it had small rose petals that fell down on my chest and I laughed at how subtlety he tried to be romantic.
I smiled and I read the letter.
"I'm sorry Kittu for staying out late please forgive me. Don't be mad at me..." He said with small smiley faces that had some frowns.
I smiled and laughed.
"Please forgive me..I Luv U." I read at the last line on the card and smiled.
My smile died.
I wasn't mad but more of concern and worry over his safety.
Him staying out late, patrolling...I didn't like it, not one bit.
I had no problem with him being a police officer.
When we met there was no problem as he in charge of smaller desk jobs and menial tasks.
Instead over the last three years he seemed to be the chief prized rookie as he shot up into Lieutenant and he was in charge of more serious problems and cases.
Each day there was something...robbery, murder, kidnapping, drug trafficking...I wasn't comfortable.
Every day was a wait and see game.
Every day trying to figure out whether or not he would make it back home to me, for me to see him, for me to hug him, talk to him, or even kiss him.
I didn't like it but I didn't have the heart to tell him to stop it. To take back everything that he had worked his entire life in finally achieving.
I was disturbed from my thoughts when Anand came into the room.
His hair was wild and messy, his face covered in sweat along with his neck, shoulder, and chest.
He had earphones in his ears as he was listening to music and he slowly looked at me and pulled them off.
I looked at him confused and he gave me a smile.
He was wearing his usual sweatpants that he wore when he was going to go jogging.
"I thought you didn't come home from work." I said quietly.
He smiled.
I held up the card and he smiled even more but this time a blush spread over his cheeks.
"What's this?" I said confused.
"I know...I know I promised that I would take you to a movie yesterday but there was a sudden break on a case and I had no choice." He said sadly.
I smiled and softly chuckled.
I got myself up, struggling and he quickly came to my side but I put a hand up to stop him.
"It's okay. I'm used to this when you are not around." I said softly.
"I know but..."
"It's okay." I said smiling as I tried to adjust myself and get up at the same time.
No matter how obvious the bump was that was growing on my stomach I still forget from time to time that I was carrying plus one on board in this body of mine.
I was so used to just jumping out of bed and just getting on with my day but it proved as time passed, I had to be more concerned and more careful of my movements.
"You're starting to show..." he said with adoration and admiration.
I picked up my pillow and threw it at him.
"Hey!" he said.
"That is not a compliment. I feel like I'm starting to get fat. Now I have a harder time I have to wobble around with a sore back and my husband leaves me and caters to everyone else in the city." I said while pouting.
"He then tries to gain my forgiveness by bribing me with a card with flowers..." I said.
Anand laughed and it was warm and it felt nice that I couldn't help but a smile to form on my lips.
Without any further noticed he kneeled in front of me.
He put his hands on his ears and started pulling on it gently.
"I'm sorry Kittu. I was just trying to find some way to apologize to you for yesterday. I'm sorry for leaving, for always leaving my beautiful wife all alone at home. But I have to tell my beautiful wife and soon to be mother of my child that I'm doing my job more so to help save innocent lives and to protect her..." he said while rubbing and stroking my cheek before his hand traveled down onto my more than obvious bulge.
"And our future son or daughter." He said gently rubbing my stomach.
I wanted to stay mad at him but I was like putty in his hands and I could feel myself softening.
"But still I don't like it once bit...but if you make it up to me...I might...might be willing to forgive you." I said slowly smiling.
"Then it's a date." He said smiling.
I smiled back at him; it was infectious once he started smiling showing those pearly whites and that cute adorable face I couldn't resist forgiving him.
My stomach growled and I froze.
Anand looked at me and slowly chuckled.
"I will take you out to get breakfast." He said smiling.
At that I perked up.
"Really?" I said staring at him.
He nodded.
But I scrunched up my face in confusion.
"But why...can't I just make something..." I tried to say but Anand's face turned into guilt as if he was hiding something.
"Sorry Kittu but I needed to call a technician to fix that...after I tried...in making breakfast." He said shyly.
I looked at him confused.
"How do you break an oven?" I said confused and slightly mortified.
"That isn't an ordinary oven. It's something...it's something else and it's not my fault." He said shaking his head.
I stared at him and just laughed softly.
"It's okay...its okay..." I said while smiling.
I gently kissed his eyelid and it tasted salty from the sweat that cooled against his skin and I cringed.
"Sorry...sorry I should have washed up before..." he said guilty.
I smiled and he got up and kissed my forehead.
"I'll wash up and I take my two favorite people out for breakfast." He said smiling.
"You say two now but once they are born it will be only one." I said while pouting.
He laughed and catching me by surprise he lifted me up and I was in arms.
"What is this?" I said looking at him more in bemusement than anger.
"I have to make sure that you know that you and our baby will continue and always remain my two favorite people." He said smiling but with a wicked glint in his eyes.
"Huh?" I said confused.
"I want to make sure you know how important you both are to me." He said with a hidden message under his words.
I felt myself turn red and I looked down.
"Aren't you suppose to go to work like you always do." I said turning away.
He chuckled and pressed me against his body even more firmly.
"I have the day off." He said with a smirk.
I smiled and he started walking towards the bathroom and I looked at him.
"What are you doing?" I said.
"I'm trying to show how you are going to still be my favorite person no matter what." He said.
Without further thought he carried me into the bathroom.
