TAMING HAZEL

CHAPTER TWELVE

"I'm sorry I forgot"

He exhales heavily and shakes his head.

"I don't even know how to handle you yet but in a few months I'll have another little you to handle, how am I going to get through this?" He asks in frustration.

I chuckle as I push the plate aside and drink a glass of water.

"You're a conqueror, so relax"

"You're being sarcastic"

"No, I'm not"

"Ugh!, You're impossible. Why haven't your finished your food?"

"I'm full"

"You didn't even eat much"

"Does it even even matter?"

"Yes it does, so eat up or I'll feed you"

"Klaus I'm going to puke if I have a single scoop of that food again"

"Are you sure you're full?"

"Uh-huh" I say nodding.

"All I need is a warm bath and a sound sleep"

"Let's go to my bedroom so you can have your bath"

"So, I'm gonna have a bath in your bedroom?" I ask confused and he just looks at me and shakes his head.

"Hazel I have a bathroom in my bedroom"

"Oh, okay"

"You're acting weird Hazel, why's that?"

"Pregnancy hormones" I say with a sly smile and he chuckles.

"Of course, it has to be the hormones, you're so not you "

"I know, right?"

"Just come with me already"

I pick up my purse and follow him to his bedroom which I happen to have never been into. The theme colors of his bedroom are white and coffee Brown and his couches are totally white. The king-size bed is at the center of the room. The entire bedroom is a wonder to behold and mehhnnn!!, You need to check out the flat screen on the wall. It's just the THING!

"Welcome to my favourite place in the world, my bedroom"

I chuckle as I pick up a photo of him and Craig . They look a lot younger in it. Did I ever tell you that Craig is more handsome than Klaus?.

Yeah, that's it.

They look alike but Craig's facial features are more striking and his pink full lips just make him more handsome.

"Klaus"

"Yes baby"

Ugh!, Klaus and pet names.

"Why haven't you asked me why I'm here?"

"Because you don't need a reason to be here my love, this is your house and its doors are open to you anytime"

I smile heartily as I put my purse on the table and turn to him.

"I'd very much appreciate it if you put red roses in the tub"

"Your wish is my command Ma Lady"

He says faking a British accent and I can't help but laugh hard. It's just impossible to not like Klaus' company.

I low-key thank Wendy for leaving with the apartment keys . It's no doubt that I'm gonna have a wonderful night here with Klaus.

I did not say that!.

************************************

When I'm done with my long, warm and comfortable bath, I dry myself with a towel and wear a pair of grey sweatpants and white t-shirt which of course, belongs to Klaus. I have a few clothes I bought at the mall but I choose to wear Klaus' clothes because I want to smell like him all night.

His smell is heavenly.

I enter the bedroom and meet him on the couch working on his laptop and I can't help but wonder if he's real. He's too nice, too loving, too caring and too perfect . I feel like I'm no match for him, like he's too good for me.

If you ask me , I'd say I don't like the way were getting attached. Ever since my break up with Danny in college, I've never opened up to any guy the way I have with Klaus. It's not like o have a choice though, have you met Klaus?, he's the most persistent guy in the universe and the fact that I'm carrying his child just makes matters worst. He's stuck to me like glue.

I know I shouldn't complain he's only trying to take responsibility for his actions but I'm scared because I know good times like this don't last. If I let my guard down and get to engrossed with this affair, I'll only get hurt again in the end. I'm never going to let that happen.

Getting emotionally hurt again is my last option.

"I can see you're done"

"How's that even possible, I'm standing behind you"

He closes his laptop and turns to look at me. He smiles, as always.

"Let's just say that when it comes to you, I have eyes all over my body including my ocipot"

"You're a clown". I say as I walk to the bed and climb on it, covering myself with the thick warm dovet that smells just like him.

Damn!, I like the way this man smells.

The silliest thought crosses my mind, is this the same position Daisy always slept on when they spent the night together?

Ugh, Hazel drop it, it's non of your business.

"So how's work?" I ask as he joins me in the bed and scoops me in his arms. I put my head on his broad comfortable chest and he gently strokes my hair.

Damn!, I feel like I'm floating.

"Hectic baby, but I'm on so it's gonna move"

"You need your PA with immediate effect"

"You'll only come to work when you're fully recovered Hazel"

"But I'm not sick"

"You need enough rest"

"I've been resting for a whole week" I say as I sit up to face him and he has on a serious look, that's when I realize that it's useless for me to argue with him because I will never win.

"Fine!" I say in defeat as I get into his arms again.

"That's my girl" he says as he kisses my forehead.

"Youo enjoyed that didn't you?" I say frowning

"You have no idea"

"Do you have any peanut butter?" I ask out of nowhere.

"Yeah do you want some?"

"I feel I will go crazy if I don't eat it right now"

"I'll get it for you then"

He leaves the bedroom and a few minutes later, he's back with a whole bottle of peanut butter. I quickly get down from the bed and snatch it from him. I sit on the couch and dig in it with a spoon.

"Hmmmm, this is one heavenly butter"

"It's just peanut butter"

"Your baby doesn't seem that way, he craves for it like crazy, I wonder why"

"Because it's my favorite thing to eat. I eat it every single day"

"Wow!, You know the normal me hates peanut butter but every since I got pregnant, I've been craving for it. It's just bizare!"

"Like father, like son"

He says with a naughty smirk. How's he even sure if it's going to be a boy?

Men and male children.

"It's not fair at all, the baby isn't born yet but he's already taking after you, that's unfair"

I say almost in tears

"He should like the things I like, I'm the one carrying him"

Now I'm crying. It's not like I don't want Klaus'son to look like him, I totally love the idea but hey, he should get some features from me too right?, how can a child who isn't born crave for things his father likes. That's unfair.

Ugh, I'm such a drama queen. Why am I even crying right now?

"Hey" He scoots closer to me and engulfs me in his arms. " He's going to have those charming emerald green eyes of yours and full pink lips. He's going to be a beautiful Mama's boy.

"How are you so sure it's a boy?"

"I know what I put in there Hazel"

He says with a cocky smile and I blush very hard.
