The Hospital
The Hospital
RAYNE’S POV
In a few minutes we were done bathing, this was the first normal bath we’ve had.
I mean when bathing together it always results in us having sex in the shower and maybe all day but today he was standing in his words.
I Iaid down gently on the bed while he lay beside me.
“What did he do to you.” he asked immediately he saw I was comfortable.
“He kissed me but I bit him and kicked his nuts.” I said hoping he would let the issue lie.
“Do you want him dead?” was his next question and I couldn’t help but shiver at his words.
Was he so relaxed to end someone’s life?
Who was this man I got married to? I couldn’t help but ask, I remembered Sarah gave me something about him back at the trip home which I threw away while coming here, I now regret throwing the information away.
“Are you joking?” I couldn’t help but ask.
I should know if he was pulling my legs before I judge him unfairly.
“Of course not, he tried to assault you, he should be punished.” he said plainly like he was talking about something usual.
“If his death is going to appease your anger then he shouldn’t have a reason to live.” he continued.
The way he talked it was like this wasn’t the first time he has done this, I could hear the seriousness in his voice.
“Eric I’m not angry and his death isn’t going to please me so please don’t kill anyone.’ I said hoping I was talking him out of it.
“A man tries to take advantage of someone else’s wife, is he worth living?” he asked as he looked at me.
How could he be so comfortable talking about one’s death?
“Eric I’m fine, I’m so fine.” I explained to him hoping he was listening.
“Of Course you’re fine, if you weren’t, Fred would be history by now.” he said with a smile.
I couldn’t still believe that he would have killed Fred, I saw the way he had beaten Fred up to a pulp.
“You would kill for me?” I found myself asking him.
I bet my curiosity got the better of me this time.
He drew me closer to himself, we were so close I could feel his hot breath on my skin which gave me goosebumps. he whispered gently into my ears.
“I’ll burn down a city if any of them tries to hurt you.”
I don’t know why but I found his words comforting.
He kissed my forehead before asking me to go to bed.
“Go to bed now, we have to go to the hospital tomorrow,” he said.
We? Oh no if he comes along with me he’ll find out that I’m pregnant, he can’t come along I have to go alone.
“We? You should be at work so I can take care of myself.”I said hoping he would agree but like I expected he didn’t.
“No I’m going with you.” he stated.
“Please listen to me. I don’t want people to think I can’t do without you accompanying me.” I said hoping he sees my reason.
“What if another psycho tries to assault you again?” he asked.
“Eric, please let me go alone, and no physco is going to assault me!” I half yelled.
“Alright alright, you’ll go with some guards and convoys too.” he stated.
I didn’t want to argue with him so he would not change his mind.
“Good night, mine.” he whispered calmly as he kissed my forehead and covered me with a duvet.
“Goodnight.” I whispered back to him before falling asleep.
THE NEXT MORNING
The streams of early morning sun lit up the room and shined brightly disturbing my sleep.
I cleaned my eyes with the back of my palm as I got up into a sitting position.
“Morning Damsel.” I heard Eric’s voice.
“Morning.” I replied to him.
I looked up and he was all dressed for work.
“You’re up early and you’re getting ready for work early.” I was surprised that he was all ready for work.
“It’s past 10am.” he informed me.
“Oh that was fast?” I replied. I never knew it was already late. I had an appointment with the doctor by 12pm. I had to get ready.
“I’ll be home late, don’t miss me too much.” Eric said as he kissed me on the checks.
“Bye baby.” I said as I waved at him while he walked out of the room.
Oh God I’m so lazy, I can’t even get off the bed, is this pregnancy hormones or what? I thought.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
After so much contemplation I finally got up to go get ready for the checkup.
I got Into the bathroom and had a warm bath then I wore a simple casual outfit and got out of the house heading towards the car waiting for me.
“Good day Ma’am.” The guard’s greeted me as I approached them.
I only replied with a smile, It felt weird being greeted by these hefty men.
I got in and the driver zoomed off.
In no time we arrived at the hospital.
I got down from the car and walked straight into the doctor’s office.
After exchanging pleasantries he commenced on the checkup.
I bet I didn’t know what he was doing but he confirmed I was okay and just needed to limit my stress.
“What stress!!” I mentally screamed. I’ve been literally resting every day.
I walked out and bumped into someone in the corridor.
“I’m so sorry.” I said as I bent down to pick the paper that fell from my hands.
“Rayne?” The person calling his voice was very familiar and just like I thought it was Fred.
“OMG, thank Goodness you’re okay.” he said as he hugged me.
“I’m so sorry for last time I didn’t mean to hurt you.” he apologized.
“What are you doing here!” I asked him. is he everywhere.
“I have an appointment with the doctor,” he replied.
I could see light bruises on his face, but it was the result of last night’s fighting.
“Here take this.” he said, handing me an envelope that looks the same as the one Sarah gave me d last time.
“What should I do with this?” I asked.
“Go through it when you get home and you’ll see .” ” he said to me before walking off.
“Physco.” I scoffed under my breath as I kept the envelope in my bag.
