Intoxicated Romance - Episode 14

 

Steven:

"antonia!" i yell and run inside my suite. I don't forget to slam the

door on James' face before i continue my chase. I expect to find

antonia in the room packing her belongings but i see her sitting on

the toilet floor with her face in the toilet. I rush to her side and

help her arrange her hair to her side to avoid its falling into the

toilet . Her body shakes with violent heave and i pat her back.

"go away" antonia says into the toilet as she tries to bat me away.

"I'm sorry" i mumble and she turns to face me.

"you should have tol--" her sentence is caught short as another

violent heave rakes through her and she throw up on me. Gah!.

"oh my G--" my own sentence is caught off as i dry heave. I shrug

antonia off the toilet sit and puke my guts out. Why am i vomiting

too? I never felt nausea even when my mother used to vomit and

sometimes excrete on her body. This is bizarre. My stomach settles and

i sag on the toilet seat. I feel antonia's head rest on my back and i

stay still.

" i am sorry, i should have told you about Jane. She's no longer

important so i didn't think to mention her to you"  i say without

turning to face her.

"its fine

. I am just your pretend fiance. You don't need to explain

yourself to me"

"ofcourse i do. Because i --" i want to tell her i love her but the

words hang in my throat.

"because you what?" she asks and i quickly change the subject of discussion.

"you must be hungry after all this" i say

"am not"

"well i am, let's get out of here" i say and stand up then look down

at her when she makes no move to stand up.

"well?" i say raising my eyebrows at her.

"i cant feel my legs. Just go, I'll be out when my blood starts

flowing normally" she says but i don't leave her. I bend and carry her

up from the floor.

"you don't have to carry me" she says but she stays perfectly still in my arms.

"okay" i say and pretend to want to drop her. She yelps and hook her

hands around my neck and bury her face in my neck. I laugh then carry

her to my bedroom after flushing the toilet. When i get to the foot of

the bed, i tap her to indicate for her to let go of my neck. She

reluctantly lets go then i hear her sniff my neck.

"did you just sniff me?" i ask incredulously. I expect her to deny it

but she just grins at me and my heart beat accelerates. She's so

beautiful.

"you smell sooo good" she drawls and i look at her like she's grown

horns. She just blushes and i have this intense need to kiss her but i

stop myself. I don't want to go too fast. I still don't know her

intentions. We look at each other for a while and when i see her eyes

go to my lips, i clear my throat. She blushes again and i groan

inwardly. She just radiates innocence.

"you have to let me down now" she says and i drop her on the bed.

"so what should i order for you from the kitchen downstairs" i ask her

"i am not really hungry" she says then her stomach growls and i burst

into laughter.

"this is so mortifying" she says and i stop laughing to see her eyes

brim with tears.

"oh baby, what's up. Why the tears?"

"you're laughing at me" she sobs, crying more. She's like a hormonal

pregnant woman, switching moods in seconds.

"sorry love. Hush now" i say as i sit on the bed beside her and rub

her back. After a while, she wipes her tears with her hand then cup my

right hand in her hands. I look at our entwined hands then look at her

eyes.

"i want garden eggs and groundnut" she says

"you need to eat some substantial. You must be very hungry"

"but i want garden eggs" she sobs out again. Chai, what kind of

tantrums is this woman throwing?. Where do i find garden eggs in this

neighborhood. Would the mall have some?.

"okay, I'm going. Stop with the tears"

"thanks" she says and hug me tightly. After squeezing the air out of

me she finally release me and gives me a big smile. Okay, this smile

is totally worth the troubles. I leave her lying on the bed after i

dress up in readiness for my garden eggs hunt.

An hour later, after searching for garden eggs without success, i

walk dejected back to my suite with a bottle of groundnut clutch in my

hand. I hope i can pacify her with this. I am almost at the hotel when

i see a man walking towards me. He's carrying a polythene bag which

looks like it contains garden eggs. I hope its garden egg. Maybe he

would agree to sell to me or he may be able to direct me to where i

can buy. I walk to him with my fingers crossed.

"excuse me sir, is that garden egg you're carrying?"

"yea, is there is a problem?" he asks

"no sir but there will be if i don't get garden eggs for my fiance.

She was even crying when i left her to buy some."

"oh i understand. My wife was also the one who sent me. It seems your

wife's pregnancy cravings is similar to my wife's" he says laughing.

"it is?"

"yea son.

. Don't worry I'll give you a few of the ones i bought for

free. But make sure you stock up on garden eggs if you don't want her

to wake you up in the middle of the night" he says and i don't bother

to correct him about antonia not being pregnant. If he's going to

solve my problem, i don't mind any misconceptions on his part. He

gives me some garden egg and i thank him.

I rush back to my suite to avoid more crying and everywhere is quiet.

I call for antonia and when there's no reply, i panick. I drop my

purchases on the glass table then dash to check the room and i see

antonia sleeping peacefully. I check my watch and see that its just

quarter to 10. I watch her for a while before i wake her up. When she

wakes up, she says she already ate as she ordered food from the

reception. I shake my head at her and she smiles at me. Apparently,

she doesn't need the garden eggs anymore. What a day!
