The Pregnant soon-to-be Wife

Chapter 16

"Anna?" He called again

"What?" I snapped at him

"You're angry" it wasn't a question

I turned away from him and looked out the window.

"I'm sorry, okay" he said

"Sorry for what?" I asked

"For telling you I was gonna take the money back when I wasn't" he said

I sighed and didn't say anything. He called my name a few other times before he gave up and stopped trying.

When we got home. As he stopped the car I didn't wait for him to kill the engine, I opened the door and went into the house.

"Anna!?" I heard him call after me.

I was already in the kitchen when he entered the house.

I took a bottle of water and drank. He came into the kitchen.

"I said I was sorry"

I stopped drinking. Filled the bottle up, capped it and placed it back into the fridge. I made my way to my room.

"You don't want dinner?" He asked

"I'm not hungry" I said and went up the stairs.

I had no idea that he followed my till I almost reached my room then I felt his hand wrap around my wrist. He tugged me to him and pushed me against the wall. I inhaled sharply at the effect of the wall slamming against my back.

To be honest, it was actually because he was soo close to me I could count his lashes.

"That does it" he said

He put each of his hand on either side of my head and he placed his leg in either side of mine. So I couldn't go anywhere if I wanted to.

"I said I was sorry, why are you still mad at me?" He asked as his brows creased. I could tell that my silence was killing him inside.

I turned my face away from his. He placed his fore finger and his thumb on my chin and turned my face to his. I tried to use my hands to pull his away from my face but he grabbed my hand and placed it above my head. I gasped.

"If you don't talk you leave me no other choice" he said

Yeah, whatever send me out of your house. Avoid me. Give me the silence treatment. I don't care.

"Fine" he said

And before I could blink, his lips were hard on mine. He kissed me but I didn't respond till he bit my lower lip which compelled me to open up for him. I kissed him back with all the anger I felt towards him. I kissed him back like I'd never love and hate anyone as I love and hate him. Then I realised he was doing the same.

"Matt..." I moaned

He groaned as he used his body to push me against the wall. He placed his hands on my waist.

Shit! What was I doing. Now he'll think everything's fine. But it isn't.

I thought. I placed my hand on his chest and pushed him away from me. He pulled away then looked at me in shock.

"Anna?" He said tentatively

I got away from his reach and entered my room. I didn't bother to lock it cause he has the keys to every room in this house.

I entered the room and sat on my bed. I placed my hand on my knee and mindlessly played with my fingers. I tried to gather my thoughts after the kiss which affected me in many ways.

I should get an award for being the most resistible to a man who could kiss like... I sighed trying not to think about it.

I heard him enter the room. He stopped in front of me and squatted.

"Anna, I'm really sorry" he whispered like the walls were going to hear him "I didn't know it was a big deal for you. I was just trying to help the situation"

I looked at him
"I know...and Thank you" I whispered "You want to help and that's fine by me...but I have to return the favour back and you don't want me to"

"I don't want you to cause you've already paid me back" he said

I looked at him, confused at what he just said

"You've paid me back by being with me and constantly helping me through my bad moods. Well, mostly being with me and making me the happiest man alive" he said

My eyes teared up at what he said.

"I love you, Annabelle Vaughn" he said "And I don't want to lose you"

"After the accident I was all alone except for Kat. I learnt how to depend on myself and no one else. I always told myself that I shouldn't depend on anyone, cause they'd end up leaving me in pieces and now...I'm beginning to doubt that cause I've found you"

He held my hand.

"I love you Matt...and I'm sorry for being mad at you trying to show how much you love me and care for me" I said.

He leaned into me and kissed me. Unlike the last kiss we shared in the hallway. This was a sweet, gentle innocent kiss.

He pulled away and slowly stood up. He was about leaving when I pulled him back.

"Matt?" I said

"Yea" he turned to look at me

Silence.

"Stay with me tonight. Please" I said

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

Don't hate me. I know this chapter is kinda shorter than other chapters. I've been doing 1800 - 2500 words in other chapters but this one is 1500 words. I'm sorry.

I'm kinda tired from all the baking and prep for Easter. I wanted to stop at this exact place cause I kinda haven't put the rest together in my mind really. And I want the story line to be correct. i.e I don't want there to be a part where I'll be like Anna has no relatives and later I'll be like her cousin moved into town and was there to see her.

You get the drill now. It's kinda hard to put the story line together in your head but its fun and amazing when you get it done. Writing a book is stressful but its...I don't know...you kinda have this excitement in you. All your emotions get into it and you bring your characters to life. They become real people in your head and you make up different images and places. Basically, its reality with a little twist.

Soo , I haven't gotten feed backs from you guys and I'd love to. JaeRiley is kinda motivating me to finish this book cause of the amazingly sweet comments. I'd really love to know how you guys feel about this novel. So please, I'm begging you guys, comment.
