CHAPTER 26
~THE NEXT DAY ~
Marie opened her eyes to find someone arms wrapped around her.
She knew who it was even before she fully opened her eyes.
Romeo was fast asleep and for a while she couldn’t help but to watch him sleep. Last night he had called the doctor even when she had told him not to.
She had watched him cancel all of his appointments just so he would focus on her which led her to wondering why he was doing this for her.
Is it because she had once taken care of him when he was sick? She wondered as she gently moved out of his arms.
She sat up only to step on a paper which was on the floor. She picked it up only to see that it was a information about olfactory nerve even his laptop had stuffs about it.
Was he doing this because of her? She thought as she went to the kitchen to get water to drink while pondering on it.
“You still need to get more rest” he said behind her startling her.
“Am sorry if I startled you, I just woke up to find you gone and you still look pale, you need to take a rest” He added.
“I don’t need to rest. I need to be at work” she said as she set down the glass of water.
“You don’t have to go to work today. You are sick and it will only be right that you stay home”
“You might be the boss and you might often take time off work but am not and like other employees have got to be at work” she said as she turned to leave but his words stop her.
” For Pete’s sake! Why don’t you ever listen to me! ” He yelled suddenly.
“And why are you suddenly showing an interest in me?” She yelled at him too.
“I don’t get it! In the past while I was in the hospital you never once came to visit me,you told me to mind my business and told me that our marriage will never be a real one but now your action is telling a different thing!”
“Why? Why are you suddenly being nice to me? Why are you suddenly caring about me? You weren’t like this in the past.
Is it because I ask for a divorce is that why you are suddenly being nice? The real Develene will come back and am only just preparing myself just incase I have to leave.
Is that bad?” Marie asked and when he didn’t seem to have any answer she turned to leave.
“Do you want to know why I do all this? Why I cancelled every of my appointment for you?
Why I attended a party which I wasn’t fit in? Why I chose to spend time with you instead of working?
Am someone who always value his time but for you am willing to throw all of it away!” He said suddenly and she stopped to stare at him.
“What are you trying to say Romeo?” She asked.
“What am trying to say is that I love you. I love you Marie. I don’t know how it happened but you slowly crept into my heart and made me crazy for you. It’s because of this feeling that I keep on doing things for you” he said.
Marie stood still watching him, she hadn’t be expecting him to tell her that, she had been expecting something else and listening to him tell her about his feelings got her feeling strange.
“Do you hear me Marie. I love you” he said as he walked the few distance that separate them to pull her to him.
“I love you and am not going to let you go. Not now or ever” he declared starring down at her and before she could stop him, he kssed her.
