Chapter 36 AN ATTEMPT TO KISS
1729words
I lean on his chest and he let me, he starts to caress my back and hair, and I feel calm and relaxed in his embrace, I remember the first day he hugged me when I started to cry miserably thinking that he was going to leave me but Thankfully he returns.
I don't know for how long we sway in each other's arms but as I look up at him, I feel an immense feeling surging up in my body and suddenly I wrap my arms around his neck pulling him closer, I attempt to kiss him and succeed.
I kiss him softly and his body stiffens but I didn't stop until I get satisfied, nibbling his bottom lips I demand him to open his mouth and after a while, he did. I gladly push my tongue inside his warm mouth that tastes sweet as eclairs, I devour his mouth shamelessly, gripping his hair tighter I push my tongue deeper into him for more.
I feel his hand tighten on my waist as he pulls me with force into him, his groin rubbing on my belling rising the heat in my body. We had a long kiss and finally as we pull away, we both pants for breath, Andrew's eyes look down at me in seriousness and I smirk happily, "My husband is soo tasty.." I say coquettishly and then I look at the ceiling and it starts to spin.
"We… we are… spinning…" I say slowly and then move away from him, I try to keep my balance but I stagger and fall.
BOOM
I feel like I am asleep, and then I feel myself hanging in the air, Why I am in the air? My brain isn't working properly, I move, struggling, I feel something tighten around my body and stop struggling.
Now, I am not in the air but on the ground I guess, my body feels numb and my head is too heavy so as my eyelids, I can't open them at all.
"Pick up the call, Mona…" I hear a frustrated sigh, who is it? Who is Mona? And why it's too quiet now?
Before I can think further, I am again in the air, swaying with the wind. I feel myself sinking deeper into softness, "Don't wake her up," I hear a command… Who is it?
Trying to think and struggling to open my eyes, I completely lost my strength and faint in the room of darkness.
****
"Hahaha…" I am laughing too loudly and I am hanging in the arms of my husband, Andrew. He is smiling or maybe mocking my foolish state.
I am definitely drunk because I am not able to stand on my own, my husband's handsome face comes to my attention, his thin lips part slightly and suddenly I pull him slamming my lips onto him.
BOOM
I wake up shaking all over from the after-effect of being drunk. "Ahh…" I cover my head, the throbbing headache is getting worse.
Shaking my head, I try to calm down while taking a few deep breaths. I look around and see a glass of water with 2 tablets beside it, without thinking much I gulp it down quickly.
After a few seconds, the pain lessens, and finally, I am able to sit properly and look at my surroundings.
So, I am in my room, I look down at my dress, I am wearing the same sequin dress that I wore last night for my date with Andrew, the flashes of our kiss come into my mind and I cover my face with embarrassment.
F**k, what have I done?
Would he be angry? Or happy? Or pissed at me? I start thinking about Andrew's outcome of my sudden courageous act as Miss Celine enters with a trolley that has breakfast on it.
My stomach growls as soon as I smell the delicious aroma of the food in the air.
But instead of handing me food, Miss Celine hands me a bowl of soup, "Drink this." She orders lightly and nodding my head, I pick the spoon to drink it and frown unhappily.
"Ahh... What is it? It tastes so bad…" I complain squealing with dissatisfaction.
"Ginger tonic, this will help in a hangover." She informs plainly and I scowl, unhappily.
Reluctantly, I finish the tonic and hand her back the bowl, "Would you like to change the clothes first?" She asks and I shake my head, I am soo much hungry.
"Food, please…" I say with innocent eyes and she sighs helplessly, She removes my necklace and earrings and then hands me the egg sandwich and my strong coffee. Alas, I feel delighted as I take a big sip of my coffee, it awakes my weak soul.
I finish my breakfast quickly, and by the time, I am able to stand on my legs, Miss Celine had already prepared a bath for me. "Soak your body." She says and then left.
I soak my body in warm water and feel calm, my headache is very light now, and as I lean my head back and close my eyes again the scene of my and Andrew's passionate kiss comes into my mind and I open my eyes, flushed.
I must look for Andrew and see if he is angry with me for what I did last night, but If I look at the facts, then a wife kissing his husband is not a big deal, no?
So, why am I feeling so anxious about Andrew's reaction? Didn't he kiss me back last night? He could have pushed me away, no? After all, I was drunk…
I walk out with my bathrobe and Miss Celine was already standing with my outfit, I look at the watch it shows six 'o clock.
"Miss Celine, who brings me back last night?" I ask stupidly knowing that except Andrew who would have brought me back?
"Sir Andrew, who else." Miss Celine shrugs offensively and I frown, bemused.
"Was he… was he… angry?" I ask, hesitatingly.
"Uhmm… Not angry but he looks concerned for you. He had asked me to not wake you up and even put the tablets for you by himself, he even ordered me to give you the ginger tonic after you wake up." Miss Celine informs and all I can say is, "OH.."
My lips curl into an O and I get lost in a daze when Miss Celine brings me back. "Do you want to join Miss Swan at the breakfast table?" She asks and I shake my head hurriedly, "No, not today… I am still feeling heavy in my head." I tell her as I sit on the sofa tiredly.
"You must rest today, Miss. I think I should cancel the French class today and also Sir Andrew hasn't left any menu for you, so you could rest in your room for the whole day." Miss Celine says and I frown, and couldn't help but ask about Andrew. "Where is Andrew?"
"He... He hasn't returned home yet.." She informed and I raise my brows in question, "You mean after putting me to the bed he didn't go to his room but left the mansion?"
Miss Celine nods her head in response, and I look at her confused. Where Andrew would have gone? And that so late at night?
I dismiss Miss Celine, my mind is filled with multiple worried thoughts and theories, I don't know what to say at all.
I stay locked in my room for the whole day or say I stay asleep for the half-day won't be wrong. The headache just didn't go away. Still, gathering courage I walk down to the living room for having dinner with everyone after all I desperately want to see my husband and want to know his thoughts about my little bold act of kissing him.
Unfortunately, no one joins me at the dinner, disappointedly I walk back to my floor, taking the pills for my headache, and I fall into a deep sleep.
****
I feel hot, too hot, my lips getting dry so as my throat, I wrap my arms around someone pull him closer and then kiss. I kiss passionately, I taste sweetness in his mouth, alluring I deepen the kiss, I feel his hands tightening around my waist in anticipation.
He likes my kiss, I smirk, "My husband is too tasty." I splutter and then taking a few steps away from his embrace, I stagger and fall…
BOOM
I open my eyes and stare at the ceiling, my mind momentarily disoriented from my indecent dream. After a while, I wake up, looking at the clock I frown it's past 4, I freshen up and think about Andrew, I quickly put on my sweats and walk to the backyard to look for him.
I wait for at least an hour for him, but he didn't come, worriedly I walk back to my floor and think of checking on him. I knock on his door twice, before entering inside and I feel surprised to not see him in his room.
His door wasn't locked which is strange and also his room looks untouched, is that mean he didn't return home since our date night?
Feeling clueless, I walk around his room, everything is cleaned and untouched, and the room doesn't show any signs of anyone's presence at all.
Disappointed, I walk back to my room, At the breakfast table, as expected I don't see my husband, is he avoiding me? The first thought jumps into my mind making me displease.
"Tessa, dear, why you are not eating?" I hear a voice that is filled with concern for me.
"Oh, nothing Ann… I wonder where my husband has gone this time?" I ask her trying to keep my voice calm and casual.
"Andrew has some work to do, he would be home soon," Ann replies, her eyes comforting my restless heart.
Yeah, I hope my husband would come back home soon, and also gives me a chance to explain myself. I had never thought in my life that one day I would be desperate to explain the reason why I kissed my legal husband…
Can't this fairytale get any worse….??
