Christmas' Misery

Chapter twelve

[Christmas]

     We stay almost one hour and thirty minutes in my count before we arrived on a quite village. Yeah, it's quite because only trees I can see here and there are only few house I saw since we enter. We stop here in a huge gate that made if wood and it is suddenly opened.

“How did the gate opened? Who opened it? I can see no one,”  I asked while he is entering the car.

“I have this remote control.” Duke showed me the small thing he used. “You close the gate.” He gave me the remote control.

“Which here is the close?” I asked staring at the red and green button.

“The red one.”

I pressed the red button and look back if the gate is going to close. A smile formed on my face as I saw it closed. “This is amazing.” I said and give back the remote control but he didn't mind. “Ahm, are we not going out?” I asked because he is just staring at me that made me feel uncomfortable.

“Just a moment,” he said.

“W-why? Is the–”

     Before I could finish what I'm about to ask, he kiss me that made my eyes widened. What is he doing? I was stunned in my seat and didn't know what I should do. I just let him to kiss me till he stopped.

He laughed. “I-I'm sorry. Let's go.” He unlocked the door and goes out first to open the door for me.

“Thanks.”

     His place is definitely huge and all the flower here in the garden are blooming in their colors. The house is a three stories and some of the wall is made out of glass. There are two balcony in both sides and he has a nice to view on a rooftop. This seems a new built house as I observed.

“Are you the only one living here?” I asked as we got inside because I can see no one here. “Your place is really too much in peaceful.” I added.

He heaved a deep sigh before answering my question. “Actually, this house supposedly my surprise to Lysias after our marriage.”

My eyes blinked twice as I surprised on his answer. I shouldn't ask. “But you and her are alre–”

“I'm going to sell this house. I don't want to be here anymore nor keep this. It will just remind me our bitter memories,” he cut me off.

“Why don't you just give this to her?”

He grimaced. “Lysias don't deserve this house and she won't need this. The house doesn't deserve her.” His voice is full of anger for the love that he thought. “Every other day I came here to take care the garden outside at least those flowers deserve to live here in the house.”

“Why here then?” I asked that made him confused. “Why we are here if you don't want to be here? Why did you brought me here, Duke?” I stayed in front of him.

He look at me in the eyes. “I brought you here because I want you to be the first and last person to see this house.”

I was surprised on what he just said.  “You mean–”

“Yeah, you are the only person that I brought here with me. This house wasn't important anymore but I'm glad that we are here together. That is the most important for me now.” His soft hands pinched my cheeks.

I pouted. “Stop doing that, Duke.” I said trying to get off his hands on my cheeks.

He laughed. “What? Your are so cute, Christmas. I wonder what would be the face if we have a baby.”

     As I heard the last word he said, I cough like something stuck in my throat. It panicked him but I signalled my hand that I'm okay. He run at the kitchen and brought me a glass of water to drink.

“Hey! Calm down, Christmas. Drink the water slowly,” he said but it was too late because I already done drinking the water.

“Thanks.” I gave him the glass, gasping some air seems I run a thousand miles.

“What happened to you? Are you okay?” he asked sounded worrying about on what just I acted.

“Y-yes, I'm okay! I just have to use the bathroom,” I lied, “Where is the bathroom?”

“Oh, it's beside at the kitchen.” Duke pointed the way.

     I run quickly at the bathroom that he pointed and slammed the door as I got inside. I placed my hand at my chest and I can feel my heart thrashing in nervous that I thought he already knew. Not now! I'm not yet ready to tell him!

Knock! Knock!

“Christmas? Are you sure you are okay?” he asked outside after knocking on the door I am leaning now.

“Y-yeah, of course I'm okay! Just a moment,” I said and goes to the mirror to see my self.

“I'm going to wait you here,” he said outside.

“Okay,” I replied and wash my face with a warm water.

“By the way, we are going to go at the nearest grocery store here. I don't have a stock of food here,” he said and I can picture out he was standing right to the door, “Can you cook?”

“Yes, I can cook. What do you want me to cook?” I asked, wiping my face with the towel hanged in my side.

“Anything you can cook is okay with me. I will eat it,” he answered.

I smiled on what I heard and walks through the door. “Okay then I will cook you a steak.” I said as I opened the door.

“Great! Let's go now at the grocery sto–or market?” He chuckled.

I shrugged my shoulder. “Let's just go to the both?”

“Okay!” Duke grabbed my hand and we run out of the house. He stopped and open the passenger's door for me.

“Thanks,” I said and watched him enter inside his car.

      We headed first at the grocery store before we go to the market. We only brought what we need tonight and for our breakfast in the morning. Tomorrow afternoon he will bring me at my apartment and him? Duke will probably going back on his life at the company and our day will start like nothing happens today. About the baby on my care? I still have a problem on how I am going to tell him this. I'm afraid.

“Christmas?”

“Huh? What?” I came back to my senses as he snapped his fingers in my face.

“You are not in yourself? What is bothering your thoughts?” he asked.

I shook my head and faked a laugh. “Nothing.” I lied. “So how's the steak?”

A smile formed on his face. “I didn't know your a good cooker. This steak is good.”

“I'm glad you like it,” I said, playing the fork at my plate, “My mom taught me how to cook and here I am now, cooking for someone.”

“I can't wait to see your mom.” He chuckled. “I bet she is a real good cooker because you learned well from her.”

I smiled at him bitterly. “My mom is already gone, Duke.”

His face suddenly become pale. “I-I'm sorry I didn't know.”

I faked a laugh. “Why are you saying sorry? It wasn't your fault.”

“I know but still I'm sorry for your lost,” he said full of sincerity and smiled a little to me.

“It's okay. Let's not just talk about it.”

“Okay.”

     A silence fell in our atmosphere here in the dining room. None of us tried to talk till we finish our dinner. Duke let me to wash the dishes while he take care of the table we used. After I done with the dishes, I start looking for him because he isn't here in the kitchen and living room.

“Duke?” I called him, staring at the staircase, thinking if I could go upstairs to find him, “Duke are you upstairs?!” I called him again. “I will go up!” I waited him to reply but I didn't receive any from him. “I'm coming up now!” My feet are now slowly walking here in the glass staircase and I can hear a sound of a water. He might be in the bathroom taking shower.

     There are three rooms as I got here upstairs and the first room is opened a little. Duke must be there that is why I walk towards the room to check him. I was about to open the door wide when it's suddenly open and I saw Duke half baked with only towel covering his body. He has a strong packs of abs that made me stunned. This is not the first time I saw his abs but this is the first time I saw this so clearly.

He laughed. “What happened to you, Christmas? You seem like you saw a ghost.”

“Yea, I really want to see your ghost,” I whispered, looking where his c**k covered by the towel.

“Huh? Are you saying something, Christmas? I can't hear you.”

I faced him. “I said, where is my room? I'm tired and I want to rest.”

“Oh? You can use that room,” he said pertaining to the room in front his room.

“Okay, good night!” Before he could talk, I already run inside the room that I'm going to use. I throw myself in the soft foam of the bed and close my eyes for a second, thinking how I am going to tell him. Sooner or later my tummy will going to big and it will make my pregnancy obvious.

   In so much thoughts running in my mind, I choose to take a rest because I'm already dried up. Telling that I'm pregnant is just a piece of cake because I'm just going to tell but the hardest part here is the fear on me. Even Duke is giving a motives that he really serious, I'm still afraid that if I'm going to tell him everything will change. He is too young to have responsibility like this plus the fact he is handling a chocolate company. I am seeing the negative happenings instead of the positive.

“Hmm, I love you, Christmas.”

     I was in the middle of my dreams when I heard a whispered that is so close to me. I can feel a lips kissing my neck and my eyes got widened seeing it was Duke at my top like a bloodsucker vampire!

“D-duke!” I yelled quietly.

He stopped kissing my neck. “I'm sorry, Christmas, I can't stop myself. I really want you badly right now.”

“B-but, Duke–”

“Please?” he begged, “I want to feel you again.” he added.

I gripped my lower lip. “O-okay, but I'm tired and I want to rest.”

“Don't worry you don't have to do anything.” He grinned naughtily. “You are just going to lay there and feel me.” He added while his hand is moving towards between my thighs.

“W-wait, Duke.”

“What?” he asked while removing my pants.

“Are you sure about this?”

He chuckled. “Of course I am! And this time I'm not drunk so I am really sure, Christmas.”

I nodded. “Okay.”

“Calm down, okay? Lemme continue what I am doing,” he said and continue undressing me.

      Duke do what he wants to do with me and I can't do nothing but to moan on his pleasure at this soft bed. The way he eat me, enter me, and touch me seems I am like a drugs for him that he is addicted to. I can feel the love everytime his lips touches on mine and the care everytime he is holding my hand. I still can't believe that i am here, that I am with this man and why is this happening to me? Whatever the reason is, I am not regretting that I am with him. I just don't want the night to end which exactly is impossible. After this I'm going back again on thinking how I am going to tell him about our baby!
