Wedding Bells

Chapter 17: Love can really hurt

I woke up as I felt somebody hugging me. I turned around, finding Nick hugging me. I smiled as I put the blanket on him because he was feeling a bit cold. My arms and bonsai still hurts but it was healing slowly. I ruffled Nick's hair as I said, "Hey sleepy head."

Nick opened his eyes as he smiled. "Morning love."

"Morning," I said as I blushed. Man, I love when he talks to me with so much love.

"How are you feeling?" Nick asked as he held my hand.

"Better," I said.

We heard our room door opened as Ray with his little cute pajamas peeked onto the door, "Mommy? Daddy?"

"Yes love?" I said to my son as I pushed Nick away.

Ray seemed sleepy as he climbed on our bed and hugged Nick as snuggle on his neck.

"Hi champ!" Nick said as he hugged Ray.

Ray didn't say anything as we noticed that be was sleeping.

"Ray probably missed you," I said as I patterned on Ray's back.

"I like this," Nick said as he pulled me closer to him. "I like to have this little family. Our family. Our son," Nick said as he kissed my forehead.

I sighed. "I don't think everything will be normal . . . Like 5 years ago . . ."

Nick hugged me close. "Everything will be normal, love. But first, we have to get our revenge from my step uncle. He is the reason of why you were kidnapped. He is the reason why dad got shot. He is the reason why Ray and you have to be so far away from me for 5 years. He need to pay for all this. Now the world knows them as one of the most famous businessmen but soon the world will know how low and evil those people are. I am never going to forgive them. Never."

Later at evening . . .

Nick stayed all day to home and helped Ray getting dressed for his school and even picked him from school and played with him all day. He also cooked breakfast and lunch for us which was a bit surprise becsue I never knew that he can cook.

I was sitting on my bed, doing some work in the laptop when Nick came to our room and started to wear his business outfit.

"I need to go back to the hotel. If media finds out about you and Ray then they probably going to post it on Internet which would make my step cousin know about you and I can't risk to hurt you and Ray," Nick said as he buttoned his shirt.

I sighed, knowing that he was right but my eyes became watery. I didn't want Nick to appart from us. I missed him so much in those 5 years. We missed eachother. I need him. I love him.

"Love?" Nick asked as he turned around, seeing me whipping my tiny tears. Nick sat beside me and hugged me. "Shhh love. Please . . . It hurts to see you cry . . ."

"I missed you so much, Nick. I need you . . . Ray needs you . . . We need you . . ." I cried as I hugged him. I didn't wanted Nick to apart from us.

Nick pressed his lips on my forhead, making me call, down. "Shhh . . . Love, please do not cry. Max, please . . . You know what I am doing is to protect you . . . To protect our baby," Nick said as he hugged me and kissed me on my fingers.

I whipped my tears and kissed Nick on his forehead.

Nick seemed surprise as I blush and then hugged me. "I love you."

"I love you too."

We went downstairs with Nick's bags. Ray was watching TV and drinking his milk.

"Ray?" Nick asked as Ray looked at his dad and then his bag.

Ray slowly went near Nick as Nick bend down. Ray's eyes became watery as he realized that Nick will be back to his hotel. "Daddy? You are going to go to the hotel? Away from me?"

"No Ray," Nick said as he hugged Ray. "It's nothing like that, baby. I will be home soon, Ray," Nick said as he whipped our son's tears and kissed his forhead.

Ray hugged him once again and Nick stood upright and hugged me. "Don't go to work till you are okay, alright?"

"Okay," I said as I hugged him.

Nick kissed my hand and forhead and got out of the house and drove away. I felt Ray hugging me as I bend down and scooped him on my arms,,letting my little boy crying on my shoulder.

That day wasn't nice at all. Ray kept hugging me and kept asking me about his dad and I kept telling him something to distract him. I knew that Ray missed his dad but I have to be away from Nick to our house so that we are safe. So that our son is safe. Nick, I hope that we can spend some family time together instead of hiding our relationship from the world.
