YOU'RE IN TROUBLE NICO

NICO'S POV

*FLASH BACK TO THE NIGHT BEFORE*

It was 2.am in the morning and I had just finished the work that I had hanging on my head all this while, it was a big project although no one knows anything about it and I plan to keep it a secret till all the mess about my company is completely out. That is the main reason I work on it at home only. I stood up from my chair and walked out of the study room to head straight to bed. Aris room was just opposite the study so I decided to check up on her like I always do. It has become a tradition for me and I could not have a good sleep if I did not check on her late hours of the night. I mean she was pregnant and her staying in one room alone was a bit dangerous but we had to live like that or I'm just too timid to tell her to come stay with me in the master's bedroom because I do not know how she would react, I needed to take things slowly so she can adapt to it so checking up on her multiple times at night was the best option for now and good for me she does not lock her doors.

Aris had fallen deep asleep when I slowly walked into her room, just as I expected. I stared at her for long time and noticed that she did not cover up well with the blanket. I quietly cover her up and was about to leave when I had her tiny and sleepy voice."Have you served it yet ?" She asked and I turned around to confirm if there was any other person in the room but me and there was none."Hey" I called her softly trying my best not to wake her up. "I want the pasta and the veggie salad you made Trish, just serve that huh ?" She spoke again and then I know she was just sleep talking.

I bent down next to her she I stroke her hair softly . "Don't worry you would get pasta and veggie salad okay ? Just go back to sleep" I promised her and I could see the bright smile appeared on her face and then she went silent. I do not know why I said that but I immediately felt indebted to her and I need to make that promise come to reality.

*BACK TO PRESENT*

"Oh did I?" She asked surprised and I doubted myself for a short time but i can't forget her asking for pasta and veggie salad last night. I had concluded that the reason for her behavior this morning was because, I did not keep to my promise. So I had to get cooking immediately.

"I guess I took a sleepy wish so serious" I said and she frowned. "What are you talking about I'm lost" she answered confused. "Why are you so mad at me this morning ?" I asked and she went mute as if trying to create reasons in her head but she could not come up with a good idea. "I don't know, you can say I woke up at the wrong side of the bed" she replied a little bit ashamed of her own words and I laughed.

"Let's just have this pasta and veggie salad then you would be fine" I simply said and I could see her smile. It was so easy to please her and make her forget about something. One minute she was angry at me for no reason, the next minute she was confused and asking me questions as why I was cooking and now she excited that I was cooking. "But aren't you late ? Are you not going to work ?" She asked concerned as she stole a carrot from the basket.

"Wash them please" she said handing the carrot to me and I collect it and rinse them and gave them back to her."I'm the boss, I can go anytime I want and I can also decided not to go" I answered proudly as I watch her munch on the carrot."mm, that so good. But how do you know I love pasta and veggie salad ?" She asked curiously and I sighed.

How do I tell her that she told me herself while she was at sleep ? If I told her so she would then know I had been coming into her room at night and might get the wrong idea."I just choose something healthy and easier to cook. Are these your favorite ?" I asked like I had no idea. "Yes, especially when Trish makes them. I actually wanted her to visit so she could make them for me because it doesn't taste good when I make them" she responded and laughed.

"But this would taste better" I responded and served her the plate of food."Wow this one comes with fried egg" she replied happily. "And a glass of orange juice" I replied as I pour her a glass of juice and places it next to her plate."Yay !" She beam happily like a child as she reached for the fork and taste it.I could see the bright smile on her face get brighter and wider but she didn't say anything and just continue eating. Without any one tell me I could see She was enjoying the food, but the one problem was her hair was getting in the way .

I walked out of the kitchen and went behind her and slowly I parked her hair all to the back. She stopped immediately I touched her hair but ignored that and parked the hair anyway.There was a long awkward silent between us as we just stare at each other. "Are you not eating ?" She asked finally break up the silent."Wow you just noticed ?" I asked."Why ?" She asked me and I frowned."I made them for you. Are they good ? Did they beat your taste ?" I asked curious."Yeah they are fantastic and think you are in trouble" she replied and continue to eat her food."What trouble?" I inquired laughing at her statement."You have to keep making them whenever I crave for them Nico, that big trouble, cause I carve for them everytime" she answered .Oops.
