Chapter 34
KAITLIN
We had to depart suddenly as Nathaniel had some type of emergency and he had to take care of things resulting in me having to go home. I was dropped away by the driver before they went together. I am delighted that Sabelo is progressively opening up to me and we are getting a bit comfortable with being in each other's presence. It should be like way because we are expecting a kid soon alongside our odd ‘Marriage’. I am watching some TV in the lounge when an assistant comes in and bows in front of me before standing.
“Good day Mrs Nathaniel ”
“Good day”
“You have a message from Mr Brown. He called early on”, What does Jason want?
“Oh”
“What is the message?”, I continue.
“He said I should inform you that he called”
“Thank you, I will call him immediately”, I say
She turns around and I stop her.
“I will cook tonight”, I say “But Mr. Nathaniel wouldn't approve”, She replies.
“I shall do so, you will assist", She nods.
“Yes Mam”, She walks away.
Today will be the first time I am cooking. Living with Thorne's mother I have seen a thing or two and I want to put what I witnessed into use. I hope it goes well but with guidance, I am sure it will.
I get off the couch and I go to seek Jason's number and I locate it. I dial the number and it rings a few times before it is answered.
“Hello”, His voice says.
“It's Kaitlin ”, I hear some shuffling sounds.
“Kaitlin, How are you? Are you okay?”
“I am okay”, stillness descends between us.
“I got your message” “I needed to talk to you”
“If it's about my marriage forget it but if it's about meeting my parents I will see ”
“Mom wants to see you”, My heart feels a ray of terror. Will she like me?
“Uhm I have to go, my husband needs me”
“Kaitlin you are too young for this. You are still a teenager” he says.
“Jason please...”
“Thorne is not good for you. He is 27 years old for Goodness sake”, What?
“I don't care okay” “Kaitlin...”, I hang up on him.
I hang onto my phone for dear life. I knew my hubby was older than me but not 9 years older than me. I bite my bottom lip and glance at my phone for a second. I go to my contacts and I phone the number. It rings a few times and it gets answered.
“Kaitlin Sisi”
“Hello Ma, How are you?”
“I am good, I just miss having you here”, I grin at listening to that.
“I miss you too.”
NATHANIEL
I am meant to working with Ryan at the moment with the briefing on how the trafficking ring is doing but my head appears to be occupied. It's not here at the moment but on what I left at home. My body is simply aching to come home and strip nude and embrace Kaitlin for the whole night. mad but this chick is driving me mad now I feel like I am not operating well.
“Boss”, I pull out of my thoughts and glance at Ryan.
“Yes?”
“Your mind is not here”, I clear my throat and straighten my outfit.
“Email me the briefing I need to be home”, he nods slowly while straining his eyes.
“Okay”
“And when is my wife leaving?”
“In two days she will leave”, I sigh and close my eyes.
“Mmmh” “You love her don't you?”, I open my eyes and gaze at him.
“I can see it. You know I know you better than anyone”, he says.
“I am not supposed to”, I feel like a big weight has been lifted from me.
“But you do and there is nothing I can do about it”, I am not sure I want to let go of Kaitlin.
“Brief me about everything. I need to leave”, I don't want to talk about my personal life right now.
I simply want Kaitlin out of the country and shielded from everything that may cause probable damage to her and the kid she is carrying. It's linked to her and it is part of her.
KAITLIN
I wasn't doing as well as I thought. I couldn't get the swing of things easily but the workers supported me and I would say I loved being in the kitchen. I guess this is now my new favorite area on the property than any other place here.
“Thank you for helping”, I say to the helpers.
“Anytime Ma”, They say.
I glance at the digital watch in the kitchen and it's getting quite late and about supper time.
“Please set up the table”, they nod and prepare to set the table up.
“What is going on here?", I hear his harsh voice and we stare at the entryway. The assistants bow as he makes his way inside the kitchen.
“You are dismissed”, He says without looking at them but at me. They all hurry out of the kitchen leaving us alone.
“What are you doing here?”, he says.
“I was cooking”, he raises his brow.
“You can cook?”
“I am trying. I wanted to and your mother has been training me”, I say.
He sighs and attempts to repress a smirk.
“You are back on time for it”
“I hope I don't die”, he says.
“We will die together. The 3 of us”, He shifts a bit from that.
“Mmmh”, I groan and turn to fetch some water from the fridge.
“It will be a bit difficult for me to adjust to that but I will try” I turn to him.
“To what?”
“To...to possibly expect to be a father”
“Me too Thorne. At least you are close to your 30s and in a position where you can have a kid but I am still a teenager”, he frowns.
“Where did you get that I am near to becoming 30?", I grin and walk to him.
“A lady doesn't kiss and tell Mr Nathaniel. Come let's go and eat”, I walk away from him leaving him inside the kitchen.
I arrive at the dining room and I settle down the assistants are nearby to help with everything that we require. He steps in from the kitchen after a short bit and he goes and sits down. The helpers approach the table and start fishing up for us and he glances at me and I return the favor and grin. He keeps his look for a little while longer before he shakes his head.
“Thank you”, I say to the assistant and they nod and go away.
“I hope you enjoy it”, I say “It seems presentable”, he responds and I nod.
We started eating the dish hoping that I didn't mess things up. I glance at him and he doesn't say anything but he doesn't have a strange expression so I would say I did moderate today. It's better than horrible right? I continue eating.
It was the next day and today Thorne took me to the doctor to obtain my medicines for my pregnancy and it's still setting in that I am pregnant. Well, I have decided that I don't believe I want to visit or meet my family as yet, given how Jason is I am delaying the matter. What if I meet them and they start digging about Sabelo and it focuses on how he discovered me? I don't like to say it but these last few months Thorne offered me some form of happiness and I would eternally be grateful for that. He brought me out of the agony that I was in virtually all my life. I am glad for it and also I love him. I genuinely do, I never imagined I would but... But I adore him and I don't believe I want to be separated from him.
I am glancing outside the car window just as we are returning from the doctor's office. I feel a hand on my bare thigh and I gaze at it before gazing at the face of the owner of the hand.
“You are quiet”, He says.
“I don't have anything to say”, He swirls his fingers over my thigh.
“I will miss you”, I glance at him in astonishment.
“Really?”, He nods and I am startled.
“I will miss you too” “I am doing this for you” “I know and thank you”, I grin and he looks at me and lets out a tiny smile.
“I promise you will come back”
“Okay”, I kiss him on his cheek. I adore my hubby and no one could part me from him here onwards. If it wasn't for him I would've died alongside those females from Henry's building or as a sex slave.
