248 What if (1/2)

The sun was out and streaming across the bedroom when Alex woke up. His wife was still sleeping so he quietly left the bed and went to shower. As his water dripped down his body, he couldn't help but remember the last time he was in this shower and all the tantalising images that Abi had imprinted within his mind. The shower quickly turned from hot to cold to cool his body and his mind.

He dried off his body and wrapped a towel around his waist as he used another towel to dry his hair. He walked out of the bathroom and noticed that Abi was awake.

”Good morning,” he greeted her with a smile, still drying his hair as he walked half naked before her, displaying his flawless body.

The still half-awake Abi looked at him, surprised and pleased. A sweet smile curved on her face as she greeted him back. ”Good morning.”

Alex walked towards her and his palms pressed against the bed as he bent down and gave her a good morning peck on her cheek. ”Did you have a good sleep?” he asked, surveying her face.

Abi rubbed her eyes a little before she looked at him, his towel was draped around his neck and his hair still wet. She couldn't believe a sexy god was standing before her, half naked, so early in the morning.

Reaching out for the towel, Abi draped it on his head and continued to dry his hair. ”I slept well,” she told him and Alex flashed his glorious smile, letting her do whatever she wanted to with him.

”Okay, go and get dressed,” Abi pulled away and Alex finally pulled himself up.

”Wife, why do I feel like you don't want to see me naked?” A smirk curved on his face and he bent down again, his nose nearly rubbing hers. ”Is it because… I am arousing you just by standing before you half-naked?”

Abi bit her lips. Her husband was teasing her but this time, Abi didn't blush. Instead, she lifted her finger and touched his chin.

”Yes…” she told him, her gaze turned deadly sexy. ”I feel like you're asking me to punish you again,” she added and Alex's first reaction was a gulp. Oh god! What did his wife just say? The bad girl was showing up again!

Alex pulled away and cleared his throat. ”Okay, I'll go get changed.”

With just that, Alex turned and headed to the door as Abi silently chuckled. However, her smile instantly faded when she saw his back.

…

The couple spent another day just doing mundane things as they spent the day with each other. There were only three more days before Abi's surgery so Alex was extra careful. He forbade anyone to visit the house, no matter who it was, unless they were a doctor. He was determined not to cause anymore disturbances or give any reason for Abi's peace of mind to be disrupted.

But for some reason, Abi seemed to be lost in her thoughts since that morning and Alex couldn't help but feel a little worried, thinking that something was a bit off with her.

Abi's phone was the one that rang.

”Hello?” He heard her greet the person on the other side of the phone and then, her face suddenly became pale.

Alex frowned and walked over to her.
