Gabriel was in the villa. It"s early in the morning and it was sad to sleep and wake up without his wife in his arms. It"s not the first time but he can"t just sleep without her. He didn"t know how. He was worried to the bones and it would only stop when he sees her.
He drank another gla.s.s of wine. Though it was morning and his wife would probably hate it when he do that. He wanted to call one of his people to follow her but she warn him not to. He didn"t even know where she went and he"s so worried. It"s been more than twenty four hours and he has no news about where she is.
Checking his phone again, he went back inside their room. He put down the wine and sat down on the bed. Then he lay down trying to sleep and since he had a light sleep, he woke up in three hours and found himself going to the bathroom to have a bath and to get ready to work.
On his way to work, he keeps checking his phone. Then he saw that it was Sat.u.r.day. He exhales and look at himself. He"s not himself anymore because of his troublemaker wife. He changed his clothes and just lay down on the bed and hug her pillow. It smell nice and it was comforting.
Then suddenly, his phone rings and he look at it immediately and answer it.
"Sabrina?"
"Hey, Hubby. We are on our way to France… something big happened. But I am fine."
"You better be." He warn her. "Come home quickly."
"I"ll be home in seven days. I need to make a few arrangements. Catriona have a billion on top of her head."
"I can manage to arrange people to protect her." He said. "You know that I can. Just come home, please." He begs.
"Gabriel, this isn"t simple. How about the laboratory? I want to see progress. Probably to kill time as well. You can also go to your friends and do whatnots just don"t fck anyone."
"You know that I don"t like it." He wean. "Baby, come home quickly. Finish it. I don"t like it when you leave like that."
"I"m sorry."
"Don"t be sorry. I"ll be in France let"s meet up."
"No. Gabby, don"t come here." She warns. "I am okay. Just don"t come here. I"ll be there quickly as soon as I am done with this."
"What happened to Catriona?" He asked curiously.
"I"ll tell you when I get home."
♥♥♥ Tony notice that Veronica has been quiet. She hasn"t taken a bath yet and she"s standing on the door of the balcony. Thinking deep with her phone in her hand. He has finish cooking and he haven"t heard from her. He wrapped his arms from her back and kisses her neck lightly.
"What"s wrong?"
"Nothing." She answer.
"Then let"s eat." He knows that something is wrong but he didn"t want to ask further.
She ate a little and if he didn"t tell her to eat more, she wouldn"t. She"s thinking so deep and she look worried. He scoop her face and check if she has a fever.
"Tell me, what"s wrong?" She didn"t respond. He bath her after their lunch and still, she wasn"t in her right mind. She stays on the bed, wearing his s.h.i.+rt and still holding her phone.
He notice it all. So maybe to divert her attention, he start working on kissing her. Maybe seducing her would make all of her worry disappear. He caress her face and kisses it lightly.
"Baby…" he murmurs as he pull her phone and put it away. "What"s the matter?" She only look up at him. "Come on, I"m worried."
"It"s nothing."
"You always say that." He pull her s.h.i.+rt up and she willingly let him take it off. "I"ll make love to you… maybe it will help you for a while."
"Will you?" She pushes him down and straddle him. He fixed his eyes on her and brushes her hair back. She kiss him and he kiss her back but it ends there. She lay over him and hug him. His woman needs comfort than s.e.x so he wrapped his arms around her and keep kissing her head.
"Whatever you are thinking—it will be fine. It will be fine."
"I hope so."
"Did something bad happened to someone?"
"Might be." She mutter.
She pushes herself up and lay on the other side. She reach his hand and pull it.
"Make love to me." He sat up and get between her legs. He kiss her pa.s.sionately and kiss her down there. He wanted to pleasure her more than himself until she was moaning and screaming and that made her forgets about everything.
He made love to her all afternoon until dinner. He has to buy their food since both of them are too lazy to cook. He made sure she"s well taken care of because that is what a real man will do to his woman. Veronica was worried over something and he knows that it"s a big deal.
So they order pizza and bucket of chicken then they settle in front of his big TV screen.
"Do you feel sore?" He asked and check if she was uncomfortable.
"I am fine."
"You always say that." He said and roll his eyes. Veronica couldn"t help but to chuckle. He"s acting like a woman and she is acting like a man. "Anyway, do you want me to—uhh…" he look down on her lap to point it out.
"Come on, we are eating!" She smack him. "I don"t want to taste like chicken or pizza!"
"It will be fun." He grin.
"No. Besides, we can"t have s.e.x while we are eating."
"Okay." He grin and pull her closer to him. "Just let me know what you want."
"I want to go out." She mutter.
"Shopping?"
"Hmm, maybe." Then her phone chimes. She immediately s.n.a.t.c.h it and check the message. It was Catriona"s but not her old number.
I am fine. Work is done.
-Cat
She exhales finally relieved.
"Okay, let"s shop tomorrow and make love tonight." She crawl to his lap and kisses his lips and then she continue eating.
"Everything is fine now?" She nodded. But still, she didn"t know why she was worried even though Catriona texted her. So she call her just to confirm. Then it was answered after.
"Hey, when are you coming back?"
"I am not coming back. But you can visit me." Her voice was hoa.r.s.e.
"Are you okay?"
"Just flu. But I am fine. Don"t worry. I"ll see—I"ll see you soon."
"Okay." She hang up and cuddle on him. Tony loves the cat that"s cuddling him so he wrapped her in his arms.
