Caitlin's P.O.V.
“It's been 4 days and am still in the hospital, Dr Rachel was a bit worried because Clarice dropped a few pounds, she was being cautious because apparently the hospital doesn't like to send babies home until they're maintaining five pounds.
“So she suggested I started breastfeeding.
“I was already worried about my baby not taking her milk, but Dr Rachel explained that in the beginning, she will have to take supplement with formula, as it was important with tiny babies to get them eating right away.
“Well things all worked out fine ,
Turns out we didn't have to worry about that. She latched on my nipple and started eating straight up and after the initial weight loss, she gained it all back.
“I was then finally released from the medical care a week later.
Thankfully Clarissa had finally overcome the slight breathing problems caused by her lungs, and I'm presently on my way home with my child in my arms,it all felt perfect except for one thing .
“Max is nowhere to be seen, have not spoken to him in a while now. I'm quite disappointed because he's not by side right now but he saw me through the most important part of this whole pregnancy which am grateful about because I don't know if I could have done all this myself .
“Although am quite aware he'd spoken to my doctor about the baby's condition he even hired a nutritionist and a special nurse. Touched that he thought of all these, all I really want is him being here with me right now but I know that's not quite possible thanks to that bitch"I thought with a fresh wave of anger flowing through my veins .
“I'm not exactly the religious type but am thankful I didn't lose my baby and whoever heard my prayers that night answered me"I thought smiling at my world in my arms as I brushed her soft Auburn curls with my finger tips .
Few minutes later...
“Back home presently, I still can't help the feeling of hurt and disappointment that coursed through me . Maybe I should never have had any expectations from Max , I mean he did his best and his probably sorting out the issue with Aurora." I thought sighing stepping out of the bathroom with my robe on .
“I'd hoped in meeting him home but obviously he's nowhere to be found, I would lie if I said I didn't miss him ,Hell I miss him a whole lot” I move into the walk in closet feeling emotionally tired and drained I put on some shorts and tank tops, the perks of not being pregnant is I get to wear whatever I felt like feeling thankful am not waddling anymore.
“Clarissa is currently asleep she just so Sweet , after bathing her with the help of the nurse I fed her and put her to sleep. Although I was a bit famished but I'm definitely too darn tired to go down for food, and it's pretty late, call me lazy or grouchy but I don't want to disturb the staff"I thought grimly but was pulled out by a knock on the bedroom door.
“I pull open the door and a rush of excitement and emotions swarm through me.
“Max " I say a little breathlessly.
“Am really sorry I wasn't there when you were discharged from the hospital, I had to take care of a few things”He musters ,God just one look on his face made me sigh in relief , I really missed him .
“Sure, I had the best care anyone could ever ask for” I say trying not to appear too desperate for attention .
“Clarice?"he asks, I couldn't comprehend what he was saying at first cause I just couldn't tear my eyes off him, his hair looks real silky and soft.
I just felt like running my hands through them he's still the most gorgeous man I'd ever set eyes on. I was gawking at him with my mouth hanging open, he looks like a Greek Adonis dark with his perfect brown hair , perfectly arched brows , lips soft and inviting and damn I just felt like ripping through his thin linen shirt that seems to hug against his muscled body.
“I was lucky I didn't pass out and roll at the bottom of his feet , being in close proximity with him I could get a whiff of his sweet intoxicating manly scent, it felt like I had stepped onto the set of a cologne commercial.
“Max looked down at me, his caramel-brown eyes rich enough to eat. His skin was a deep tan and I watched the way his strong jaw flexed as he spoke.
“Oh, God, he's speaking.
“I shook my head, trying to clear my thoughts. "Sorry, what was that?"
“I asked how's Clarissa"he asked again , damn I got lost daydreaming again!
“She's asleep " I said softly .
“Come "Tesoro" he said in a deep sexy baritone voice, even though I know nothing about his Greek language I still find it sexy and a great turn on.
“Swept in the moment, I step out of the room, taking his outstretched hand, as we walked down the stairs.
“Close your eyes "Cuore Mio "He says smirking .
“Nervous and giddy of what he had planned out, I closed my eyes with his help he assisted me down the stairs slowly . We walked a few minutes before he stopped me , drawing out a chair for me to sit I felt butterflies running around my stomach.
“Open your eyes, luv"He says..
“And I did just did that I noticed I'm currently sitting in the luxurious dinning room, in front of me all sorts of assorted dishes were staring right back at me , surprised that he could read my mind I stared at him with a witful look on my face .
“I know , I know you might say it's too much but before turning it down I made it all by myself because I know you didn't exactly have a thrilling experience in Greece because of what happened with my mom and then the drama with Aurora so I decided to make an apology dinner"he says looking at me hopefully.
“I didn't know you cook"I blurted out before realizing what I said , mentally berating myself for calling him out , stupid Caitlyn he's done something this sweet for you all I should be doing is thank him instead of questioning him.
“I do actually, but I just haven't really done it in a while”He says sitting at the head of the table.
“Dig in , pretty sure you're famished I know you complained alot about the hospital food”He says as he dished out some food for me .
“You really do know me”I say, proceeding in taking a bite in what he called "Pasta con pomodoro E Basilico" such fancy and exotic name for just pasta but I then realized it deserves the name because after taking one bite I'm totally enamored , and intoxicated with it creamy , tasty and insanely heavenly taste .
“Every bite I took seem to melt and sweeten my taste buds . Then I also took a bite out of the "Panzenella" , "Bruschetta" and other more Italian delicacies . Then for desert which I still wonder I was able to eat ,"fish cakes", coconut shrimp ,clam cake, Calamari, Camaron Rebosado .
“Chocolate Amanetti cake , lemon Ricotta Granita"all tasted delicious I felt so spoiled and on top of the world , eating is like breathing to me .
“I don't think I can take anymore”I say after having my fill ,I placed my hands on my stomach thinking I might probably have indigestion the next morning but I don't feel bothered because I had my fill.
“I love to feed you “Agape Mou”He says smiling.
“There more"he says smiling stretching out his hands again .
“If you want to fatten me up like a cow , it won't work”I say playfully laughing out loud with the look on his face .
“Don't worry we're done here, I just want to show you something I've been working on for quite some time I don't know if you'd like it but I decided it overdue”He says with a serious look on his face .
“Ok"I said standing up I followed him with his hands clasped in mine. We walked back up the stairs as we approached the door to our bedroom he then moved to the door next to it gesturing for me to open ....
“Sighing, everything about this georgous man is mysterious and surprising , taking a deep breath I towards the door dreading what could be behind the door .
A serial killer?
“A dark room , like the one in fifty shades of grey or did I judge him wrong is he one that derives pleasure from ones pain" I thought to myself paincking .
“Cathy, stop over thinking this all thing and just open the damn door , I can read you like a book and I can see all your thoughts roaming in that pretty head of yours" he said amusingly .
“Okay, the rate at which he could figures me out quickly is scary, but I relaxed a bit and then turned the door knob "squeezing my eyes tightly call me a "fool" but I'm pretty freaked out with the way things are .
“I pushed the door open , stepping into the room . Opening my eyes sofly I peered into the room and was so dumbfounded and short of words. No word on the English dictionary could describe how I feel.
“Right before my eyes , lay before me is a fairytale styled baby nursery with it's magnificence and alarmingly beauty . It must have taken him the time and effort to pick out the materials , I never had the time or even thought of setting up the baby nursery but he did ." I felt a tear slip out of my eyes without my realizing it.
“Hey!
“You crying?"he asks , still looking for the perfect words to say.
“You hate it don't you?”He asks with a worried face with a look of regret on his face .
“I should have known and had the decency to wait for yo....."I didn't allow him say another word by jumping into his arm , crashing my lips into his fireworks and Sparks surges between our enclosed bodies . His mouth tasted of heaven ,sweets and everything that's so wicked .
“It's beautiful"I say softly pulling out of the kiss with my arms around him .
“No . You're beautiful "he said before smashing his lips to mine , his tongue exploring , searching , demanding and I gave and he took. I could feel the wave of pleasure riding through me hot molten gathered around my private region , I could feel myself real wet and needy with just one kiss.
