Undeniable Attraction novel Chapter 23

On Sunday I woke up exhausted, I had stayed late with the girls. Evie filled me in on what she did with Kel. She seemed excited as she talked. I stroked her hair as she slept, I wonder what I'd without her. Everyone had one person that supports and motivate them. Evie was that for me and I am so lucky to have her.

Good morning mommy." she greeted smiling widely.

"Morning sweetie, how was your night?" I asked smiling as she did.

"It was great. Can we go bath now I want to meet Kel?"

"Kel? What business do you have with him?" it came out harsher than I intended.

"It's a secret," she replied running to the bathroom.

Secret? She tells me everything and now she's keeping a secret from because of Kel. How nice.

We got dressed for the day I just wore a big white shirt and jean mini short and did the same for Evie. We came out of the room and when we passed by Kel's Evie thought it was a good idea to wake him.

"That's not a good idea Evie," I warned. I've never been to his room, it was off-limit.

"But he's your husband, why do you even sleep separately?" she asked and I just stared at her unable to come up with an excuse.

"You can wake him then," I said thinking the door was locked but it wasn't.

She opened the door and ran in, I didn't want to enter the room at first but I did not want him to shout at Evie who was already jumping on the bed.

"Wakey wakey Kel," she screamed turning the bed to a trampoline

"Evie get down from there now," I said sternly

"No. Wakey wakey Kel." she continued and he opened his eyes causing me to gasp.

"Who the hell is it by this time? Today's Sunday for God's sake." he angrily said and he looked up to see Evie grinning.

"I'm sorry, she barged in here to wake you up. It won't happen again." I apologized picking her up.

He looked from me to Evie then sighed frustrated ruffling his hair and it was sexy. I motioned for her to apologize, I was expecting him to do something bad instead he took Evie from me and started tickling her and since she was ticklish she was laughing in seconds.

"Stop," she screamed in between laughs.

Kel was laughing with her still tickling her and the view melted my heart. It felt nice to see them both this way. Who would have thought Kel would be friendly to a child.

"Why did you even wake me up?" he asked, more like whined.

"You were sleeping too much. It's ten already," she stated and he gave her a look that suggested and so?

I felt awkward just standing not being part of the conversation, I wanted to join in but what was I even supposed to say?

"Why don't you people stay together, other married people do."

"Evie," I warned and Kel looked up at me. Great. Maybe he's thinking I told her to ask him.

"You don't like her do you?" she asked.

"That's enough now. Let's go make breakfast. Aren't you hungry?" I asked scooping her up and she nodded.

She looked from me to Kel and frowned, when she smiled I knew she had come up with something. "Let's all make breakfast."

Kel looked at me with a raised brow, maybe asking if I was okay with it or if it was my plan.

"I'd go get ready. You can go wait for me downstairs." Kel replied.

When we left his room I decided to warn Evie about the questions again. "Evie you shouldn't ask questions like that okay."

"But..."

"No questions on our marriage, you'd do that right?" I asked and she reluctantly nodded.

Kel came downstairs later and we started making preparations for the food.

"So what will you like to eat princess?" he asked and an over-excited Evie mentioned all the foods she could think of.

" I have a cartoon to watch, I'd come back later for breakfast." she ran upstairs before I could tell her not to.

I turned to Kel, it seems like it was just us both. Did she leave us together on purpose?

"She's a smart one," he stated breaking the eggs.

"Yeah, and she left a lot of orders," I said and he chuckled saying. " She's the princess after all. "

After that nothing was said till breakfast was made.

"Were you the one who told her to wake me?" he questioned

"No. I had nothing to do with that. She asked why we weren't sleeping together and decided to wake you."

******************************

The next morning I couldn't get out of bed. I was on my period and I had the worst cramps ever. Any moment from now Kel would barge in or just leave for work without me. Evie wasn't around either, she had gone on a three days trip with her nanny who was taking her kids out and her nanny had asked if Evie could go with them. I couldn't say no to Evie who was over-excited about it and besides she would mingle with kids, not adults who probably bore her out since she was the only kid here.

"West, why the hell aren't you ready?" Kel asked barging into the room. He must have been waiting for me downstairs.

He looked at me and walked towards me. "Is everything alright with you?" he asked calmly.

"I'm fine, it's just my... " I stopped because I was embarrassed to start talking about my period with him.

He seemed to have gotten the hint, "Your period?" he asked just to be sure and I nodded a little.

"Is there anything you need?" he surprised me by asking, I was thinking he'd have left for work already.

"No, no. I'm okay thanks for asking." I said trying to sit upright but the way my back and stomach hurt made me lay down back and he seemed to have seen that.

"You're on your period, I know you're not fine so don't pretend to be," he said leaving.

I sighed when he left. Now I just have to find a way to get out of bed, make breakfast, take medicines, have my bath and sleep. I couldn't go to work today, I obviously couldn't get anything done.

I wrapped my hand around my stomach as a sharp pain hit me and I felt a tear slip. It was during this period I wished I was a boy, it was so unfair that we had to deal with this. I managed to get out of bed but could only reach my door. I just squat putting my hands around my stomach, this was just too bad.

Surprisingly the door opened but what surprised me most was that it was Kel and he was with a tray of food. I've never been happy to see Kel until now. He didn't leave, he was making breakfast for me.

"Gosh West, what are you doing on the floor?" he asked keeping the tray on the table and carrying me up. He placed me on the bed then brought the tray to me.

"You should eat, you can take the medicine after," he spoke softly staring at me and I just nodded.

"Thank you," I said managing a small smile.

There was a sandwich on the tray and apple juice there was even a tablet. I just stared at him dumbfounded. Why would he do this?

"You're not eating? Do you want to wash up first?" he asked gently and I nodded.

He went to the bathroom and came out a few minutes later carrying me to the bathroom picking me up gently and holding me as if I was fragile. He dropped me on my feet and left. I quickly brushed my teeth, stripped off and got into the water. He had already prepared a bath for me so I just got into the tub, the warm water calming me down and soon enough I slept.

The continuous knock on the door was what stirred me up. "Are you still there West?" he asked when he didn't get a response and just walked in.

"Why didn't you answer me? I thought something happened to you," he said looking at me with worry
