CHAPTER SIXTY EIGHT

Dinner was going to be a determinedly cheerful meal the following day.

Lara had no idea that Graham could cook and he had made them roast

chicken. She helped him, by having the veggies and potatoes off the stove

just when she was suppose to.

We at least the whole dinner plan hadn't been overdone.

"You're not going to have some? " Lara asked,moving to sit down on the

couch with her plate of food. "Looks yummy. I'm going for seconds." She

wiggled her brows up and down.

Graham smiled."l'll eat later. Although I'm glad to see my girl eating such a big meal."

He was sitting opposite her, scrolling through feeds on his iPhone.

Lara finally dug in, moaning at the taste of the food that lingered in her

mouth. " Oh but it tastes delicious."

"You taste delicious." He glanced up quickly, watching her pupils growing large.

She nearly choked on the chicken, gasping. "Graham!" Her face flushed and she giggled. "Don't say stuff like that."

His mouth twisted into a wry smile. "It's true. Sweet wild honey baby." Deep brown eyes swept over her body with appreciation.

No bra.

Just the way I like it. Graham thought to himself.

After a hot bath, I slipped on my long black night dress below

the knee just as Graham vanished into the bathroom. I noticed my skin colour seemed a little brighter.

Unless I was probably just imagining things.

No biggie.

"Alright. All good to go." I said to myself once I checked my image in the mirror."

"Ravishing. " Graham commented when he came over to stand behind me.

And just like that my heart sped up when he smiled at me through the

mirror.

Of course I knew my husband was a handsome man, but he was even more so right now.

"You just can't give me privacy can you?" I smiled back, shaking my head.

"In this house? No." He smirked, placing his arms around me.

Oh sweet mercy!

He really did look good when he had just had his bath.

I felt his large hand skimming over my stomach and I nearly caught my

breath. He rubs it in small circles and I remain mute... My heart skipping a beat.

My husband. My baby.

Oh!

"You're very quiet, what's wrong? What are you thinking, Hmm?"

He starts to massage my shoulders making me sigh.

Oh that feels good.

"Nothing. Please, will you zip me up?"

"Yes ma'am." He winks, doing what I asked him but then felt him stop at

once.

"Whoa. "

I caught a quick frown through the mirror, perhaps of concern or something.

"What's wrong?" I retorted.

"I'm struggling to get the zip all the way up. It's so tight."

Tight?

"Are you sure this is the right size?"

"Of course." I nearly cried out.

He smiled from ear to ear. "You've gained weight." Graham raised a brow.

"Interesting." He glanced down at my cleavage, making me flush.

I blinked. "You're right. Everywhere."

"l can see." He looked me up and down.

His eyes moving once again to the deep valley between my breast which

have actually gone from B cup to a C.

And the doctor said it was perfectly normal.

"It's just that I've been eating all the fatty foods. And I haven't been

exercising for a while now." I lied. "It's not a problem is it?"

"Not at all baby. You're burgeoning into a beautiful woman. I love your body just the way it is."

"Thank you." I blushed.

He kissed my shoulder. "Here,let me try again."

This time I pull my stomach in, imagining how I'll look in a few months time.

Fat and ugly with a huge round belly. No. I won't complain about that.

Pregnancy can actually be a very beautiful thing.

"There you are." Graham said, snapping me out of it.

I turned around, glancing up to him. Graham's mystical eyes roam my face.

"Don't."

I frowned. "Don't what?"

I haven't done anything, I thought, now puzzled.

"Look at me like that." He answered.

"Why not? How am I looking at you?"

"You're giving me bedroom eyes again." He rasped. "Come here little

angel." He leaned down to give me a warm, sweet, deep kiss.

Then pulled me into a hug and I wrapped my arms around him.

My head tucked into the crook of his neck.

"You feel good. "

“It feels nice to feel good” with that we both giggle our way to sleep.

We wake up the next morning still wrapped around each other. It felt nice again. And other thing which felt nice was the scent of rice from downstairs.

“It feels nice to feel good” with that we both giggle our way to sleep.

We wake up the next morning still wrapped around each other. It felt nice again. And other thing which felt nice was the scent of rice from downstairs.

I struggle out of hid hold and when I'm out he is still sleeping soundly. Phew, thank God.

I go go the bathroom and do bathroom things before I run downstairs. Ohh how I loved any form of rice meals and today we were having chinese fried rice.

After greetings and everything Malia served my food.

Then Graham walks downstairs with rough bed hair and looking like he needed extra 8 hrs sleep. I laugh at him, which causes him to look at me with wide eyes.

"Oh, your mocking me. Huh love?" He says as he speed walks towards me.

"No no, I wasn't" I denies while still laughing.

"Kissing attacks launching" he says before he starts kissing me all over my face. I try to push him away but he doesn't budge.

"Ah, bad breath" I joke while laughing.

"Oh you are addicted to this bad breath" he winks the kisses my nose.

He walks to the closet chair and drags it beside me.

"Your disparaging the table" I say.

"I'll do anything to get close to you" he winks again which causes me to giggle.

I throw a seed of rice on him, he rolls his eyes at first. I do it again, and he squints his eyes with a smirk on his face.

"Ohh it's on, it's soo on" he says "My food please Mrs Malia. I might loose the war but I'll never loose the battle"

"Here it is General. Graham" she says as she serves him with a smile.

"Thank you Lieutenant Malai" he says in a playful way.

"Always ready to be of service" she answers.

"I feel betrayed" I say as I throw them both a seed each.

They both start laughing.

We continue like that till we finish out food.
