"Am Okay ".

Shopping had exhausted her and a stomach ache had bothered her mood even more. Dropping the bags of clothes she falls onto the bed.

Chris who was right behind her came in too. He let her rest and picked up his laptop moving to the living room.

He reviewed some documents as he got ready for a zoom meeting he had been putting off for a while.

"Hi, handsome " a voice said.

"So what exactly do you want to talk about j. the contract?" he asked

The sweet voice of the woman laughed.

"We don't see each other for a month and this is what I get " she smirked

"Are we agreeing on the terms of the contract or we postpone this meeting again?" he asked.

He knew she could not keep dragging on for too long.

"Let's sign over dinner, then," she said.

"That won't be necessary my assistant will deliver my signed copy to you tomorrow morning," he said.

"Chris, wait " she called

He paused and stared at the screen, "My time is limited " he said.

Before she could say what she needed to a scream came from the bedroom.

Chris was gone in seconds running into the bedroom.

Camilla was moving to the bathroom when he got in.

"Milla, what's wrong? " he asked.

Camilla just locked the door, "Am okay I just got excited...sorry I mean shocked " she cried.

"Okay but what made you scream like that?" his view moved to the bed re she had been laying, he frowned.

"And what happened to the sheets?"

He could hear Camilla sob silently, "Love, please tell me what's wrong?" he knocked on the door again.

She was silent that it scared him, that he decided to break the door.

"Am going to break this door if you don't open up " he was getting anxious.

Soon he had the keys move and the door opened, but only enough for him to see her face.

"Love, what's wrong. Whatever it is come out & we can talk about it " he softly said.

"Am okay, just having lady issues " Camilla tried to smile.

He sulked, "What is that supposed to mean?"

"It means you can't see me now & I need my phone " she pointed to where it was.

He got it placing it in her hand.

"Anything else?" he asked still trying to peep into the bathroom.

She finally giggled seeing him stretch his neck, "No " and closed the door.

She sighed, "Why now?" and got into the shower after ordering for pads online.

Her period had to come now.

Chris sat in the bedroom in silence waiting for Camilla to leave the bathroom when he had a knock on the door.

It was a delivery, he took it & got in. Camilla had ordered something that was why she asked for her phone.

Wondering what it was, he opened it and checked what it was. His face got so red when he realised there were pads and a few new knickers.

He walked back to the bathroom, knocking on the door, "Milla, something came for you " he said.

She opened the door and took the package.

"Thanks, I will be out in a minute," she said.

He moved to the living room, grabbing his phone. It was then he realized that his laptop was still on.

"you finally remembered I was still here," a voice said.

He scoffed and turned it off. Her face made him hate her even more.

Camilla came out and walked to the living room but Chris wasn't there.

"Am in the kitchen " he shouted.

Camilla found him making ginger soup.

She smiled, "Why are making this?" she asked.

He looked up, "Cause you need it, don't worry it will be done soon..oh and " he passed her a bottle of pills and a glass of water.

She laughed, "You checked my package?" she asked.

Avoiding her glance he nodded.

She took his hand, "Thanks for caring but am okay, I don't have cramps but just a little dizzy. so don't stress over it "

But Chris wasn't listening, he walked around to her, took her in his arms and moved to the living room. She was always like this in the past, pretending she wasn't in pain but was.

"Your dizzy so rest here, while I make the soul and join you," he said.

She nodded being obedient and laid down.

Chris came in with a bowl of ginger soup and ers.

"I know you said that no pain but still take these first " he said.

Camilla did as she was told, then took the soup. He took away the bowl after she was done.

He was right soon she felt the pain come in, she had decided to pretend in front of him but failed.

She had closed her eyes when she felt him move on next to her, "Let me warm you " he said.

She made space and Chris laid next to her, covering them with a quilt, cuddling.

"Rest more, I will be here when you wake up" he whispered in her ear.

"I Love you " she murmured before drowning in his warmth.

Chris felt his heart flutter, "I love you too, Milla "
