Chapter 137 - Absolutely, Positively 11: Possibility (2/2)
”Yes?” the young president whispered his answer against her ear as he kissed her there once more.
”Alvin, I-I…” she stammered and Alvin frowned as he lifted himself up to study her face.
”You don't want to continue?” he inquired uncertainly and she shook her head.
”No!” she protested. ”It's not that,” she continued as she licked her bottom lip nervously. ”Y-you see… I was just wanting to tell you that… that I-I… y-you're big and I-I…” she stammered, but upon seeing his confused expression, she closed her eyes and blurted her worries out.
”I never had sėx with anyone before or after Sammy's father. I'm just saying that you're so big so please be gentle with me.”
The sudden confession embarrassed the hell out of her who covered her face in her hands. Alvin, however, was ecstatic from the information that he couldn't help but smile. Since the day he saw her again, even though he never really focused on it, there had been thoughts wondering if she ever went out with anyone or made love with anyone during the years they were apart. He'd been insanely jealous and bothered with it. Now, now that she told him this, it felt like a balm was placed in his heart, banishing those dark thoughts away.
There had been no one else but him! Alvin was at the top of the world. Mine. Mine alone.
”I'll be gentle,” he whispered as he removed her hands from her face and sealed their lips with a scorching kiss.
He would make love with her slowly. He would show her how precious she was to him, how much he adored and treasured her with every touch, with every word of love spoken to her ears. He was glad that finally, Jena was his, and that this night was just one of the many nights they would share for the rest of their lives.
After eight years of dreaming of her, Alvin was now able to hold her for real. He would make absolutely, positively sure it would be like this forever.
”You look like crap.”
”Good. Because I feel like one too,” Jena retorted as she let her sister enter the penthouse apartment Alvin had bought when he returned to Korea.
They didn't bother buying a new house since Alvin was an only child and his parents wanted him to inherit the house. It's been two months since the wedding, and Jena had just adjusted to being fulltime homemaker when she suddenly got sick.
”Sammy's still at school?” her sister asked as she followed her to the kitchen and sat on one of the chairs there.
”Yeah,” Jena answered. ”Alvin's parents will pick him up after class. Sammy will spend the weekend with them.”
”I know. Your husband told me over the phone,” her sister stated.
Yesterday, Alvin had given her a call asking if she could come to their house to watch over Jena while he was away. Her brother-in-law sounded really anxious and worried that she didn't think twice and said okay.
”How long will your husband be gone?” her sister asked and Jena sighed as she took out food from the refrigerator.
She was forever hungry and this was her sixth snack during the day. She made two sandwiches from last night's beef roast and gave one to her older sister.
”Three days,” she answered as she munched on her food.
Alvin left on a business trip to Japan reluctantly since he didn't want to leave his sick wife at home. But Jena had insisted that he did since the president had already spent a number of days at home to nurse her.
”How long have you been sick?” she asked again as she scrutinized Jena's face, noting the dark circles under her eyes.
”Two weeks? Ten days? I don't know what I ate but I feel dizzy sometimes and sometimes I have a fever,” Jena answered as she thought, and frowned upon realizing she had finished her sandwich already.
”Are you going to eat that Big Sis?” she asked her sister as she eyed her sandwich and the other chuckled, finally understanding Jena's malady.
She wasn't sick. Not at all.
”Have you been to the doctor?” the older sister asked lightly and Jena shook her head. ”Well, you should go and give your doctor a visit so he can give you prenatal vitamins.”
Prenatal what?
”What?” Jena's expression was so comical that her sister laughed.
”I'm saying you might be pregnant so you better visit your doctor.”
”Preg…nant…” Jena whispered in wonder having realized the possibility just now.
