Invisible String

Secret Calls

"Oh that's interesting," She lifts off her eyebrows being surprised, "I was only anxious about my body now this adds in too."

Everything is fine if your partner co operates."

Taylor nods slightly.

After their check up is done, Taylor picks up Taytum and decides to go to Elizabeth's house. Knowing that Joe will come home late today, she spends quality time at his parents house. She did lunch outside so Elizabeth insists her to stay for the dinner. She gives in because she doesn't have any energy left to go home and make dinner for them. Around 10 p.m. Taylor leaves with the kids. Joe must be at home by now.

But her expectations dread in when she finds the house still being empty. He hasn't come yet. She brings out her phone to check the notifications. He used to send her texts all the time about how much he misses her at the office but today there's not a single text, not even a missed call. She gets disappointed and puts the phone down to unbuckle Taytum from his car seat.

When both kids are asleep, Taylor decides to take a shower. She starts thinking about her doctor's words again.

Everything is fine if your partner co operates.

After almost two hours, Joe comes back home. He puts down his bag and finds Taylor asleep on her side. He changes his clothes and gets freshened up before coming to the bed. He carefully sneaks in under the blanket and turns off the lights. He leans in to place a kiss on her forehead before turning to the other side.

"Joe?" Taylor whispers and spoons his muscled body from behind.

"What?" He turns around, "You're still awake?"

"What are you hiding from me?"

"Huh?"

"You said there will be no secrets between us," She whimpers and scoots nearer to hug him. She's craving for his affection.

"What makes you think i'm hiding something?" Joe lets out a light chuckle and wraps his arm around her body.

"I know you are," She looks down, "I also know that you talk to someone at night, who's it?"

"You trust me right?"

"I always trust you until you ask me that question."

He grins, "How was your appointment?"

"It was alright," She frowns, "But stop changing the subject."

"Let's go on a date tomorrow. We really need to talk about our relationship."

"What? Is anything wrong? Did I do something wrong?"

"No no babe. It's nothing like that," He sighs and rubs her arm, "Just a date."

"Fine," She mutters, "How was your day at the office?"

"The meeting was really important. We had to work for five hours."

"After that?"

"After that I can't tell you."

"Joe," She whimpers, "Stop playing with me."

He chuckles as she slaps his chest.

"You didn't even send me any texts today."

"I was busy."

"Yeah sure."

"What did your doctor say about your uh uh?"

"My uh uh?" She chuckles, "Well she said my body is ready but honestly my mind is not ready yet. But if you say I can-"
