I wake up feeling so hot. I try to move but notice a hand, Sydney's hand pinning me to the bed next to him while laying on my round tummy making me smile. My smile widens when I remember everything from yesterday night.
I look around and notice it's morning. The morning Sydney and I are supposed to wed. Sydney shifts behind me. His bare thighs brushing against me and suddenly I feel hotter than before but before any thought passes through my mind, the baby kicks making me smile.
"Gosh! If I get to wake up like this everyday the.... " Sydney starts but the baby kicks what I believe is my bladder. I get up from bed and head to the bathroom as fast as possible not even caring I'm naked.
I emerge five minutes later after brushing my teeth . Again, naked. I find Sydney sitting at the edge of the bed looking at something in his phone. He looks up when he hears me and his eyes widen in surprise and... hunger.
"Damn Izzy. Are you trying to kill me?" I only smile innocently and find the T-shirt I was in yesterday night. Sydney stands and comes behind me. "You're so sexy you know that? Pregnancy looks so damn good on you." I try not to get affected by his words and move away from him.
"You told me that like a thousand times yesterday night. We've got a wedding to attend I believe." I try to act nonchalantly as I head to the kitchen.
"I'm craving for some chicken sandwiches. Make me some." I say as Sydney follows me.
"I never knew I was hired by Isabella soon to be Kings to be her personal cook." Sydney says with a smug look.
I try to open my mouth to retort back but no words come out.
Isabella Kings.
Isabella Kings.
Isabella Kings.
The name repeats in my head. I love it. I look at Sydney and notice he's looking at me with an emotion I can't place.
"Just make the sandwiches." I say and turn then start going to my temporary room.
"Izzy. What's wrong?" Sydney touches my hand and pulls me to him making me turn to face him. He takes my face in his hand and caresses it lovingly. I lean to them.
"I'm just emotional because of the pregnancy." Sydney only nods and kisses my forehead.
*******
"By the power invested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife." The judge finally says. Sydney takes my hand and pulls me closer to him and kisses me lightly with a smile. I smile too.
Jason pats Sydney's back congratulating us but asks to speak to Sydney for a minute. I have to go to the bathroom anyway.
A mirror is placed on the other side of the bathroom making me look at myself as I head towards it. The pale blue dress really compliments my skin tone. The make-up artist did a splendid job. When I'm done I decide to head out to Sydney.
I find a note a neatly wrapped box with my name when I open the door. I look around to see who might have put it there as my hand discretely moves to my thigh where I placed a gun. Since being surrounded by the Italians I want to be careful.
Should I take the box?
What if it has a bomb? Maybe I should call Sydney. No, I don't have to depend on him to do simple stuffs like picking up boxes. Gosh, why I'm I so paranoid these days? I used to be a 'act then face consequences later' type of girl. But now I have two lives in my hand. I can't risk my baby's.
I skip the box cautiously as I head towords Sydney. I have to tell him. Before I turn my phone rings. I take it and see it's an unknown number. I should ignore it but I don't.
