My Second Chance novel Chapter 27

Sapphire's P.O.V

I smelt his scent before I saw him.

"Hey kitten." He hugged me from behind. "Go away." I grumbled. "Harsh." He muttered, resting his chin on my head, making me feel absolute tiny against him. "Go bathe." I sighed, flipping a chocolate chip pancake over. "What's wrong?" I could just see him frowning. "Nothing's wrong." I dismissed it with a wave of my spatula, stealing a glance at him. His hair was sticking you in different directions as if he ran his hand through his hair several dozen times. It's cute though.

"Yeah right, and I'm secretly the moon goddess in disguise." He snorted, showing how much disbelief he directed at my statement. "Mother nature decided to pay me a visit." I grumbled in annoyance. "Mother nature?" He furrowed his eyebrows. God he's slow.

It's exactly how I put it. I felt a pain shoot up my stomach at around 5 in the morning. Yes people, 5 in the morning!!! Not even an earthquake can usually get me out of bed. But one stupid call from the Red River and I leapt up faster than you can say leaping hippos. That explains a lot. Then I had to drag my sorry ass to Clover's room and get pads from her. It's exactly as embarassing as it sounds.

It's like Mother Nature is telling me, Hey Sapphire, congratulations on not getting banged up and pregnant, here's a hell lot of blood and cramps to celebrate with!

"Oh. Oh." His eyes widened with realization. "Yeah, oh. Now move." I snapped. Wow I'm cranky. That happens when woman gets her period. To all the guys out there, so not mess with a woman when mother nature visits her cause they can get really, really, really vicious. As vicious as a kitten... or a goose. He moved immediately, making me feel a little proud of myself. Sorry, my brain works weirdly every time it happens.

I placed the chocolate chip pancake onto the plate gently and stared at it longingly. "So now the pancake gets more love than me." He pouted. Love, that word made me freeze and I remembered Georgia and I's conversation.
