The Couple

Celia

Chris left even before I woke up this morning. All night he was just drawing small soothing circles around my back or lower stomach to comfort. His warm hands were more comforting than a hot water bag. Last night, I forgot to charge it but later it was not required at all. I wonder if he slept but I slept like a baby because of him. I was in deep slumber but I know he gave my leg a good massage before he left.

“Celia, I am telling you just a strong, handsome chef. You will be blessed all your life.” Mom exclaimed as she stuffed her food in her mouth.

“No doubt, you married me for my food. I wonder if you ever loved me.” Dad called out from behind the counter, pouting.

“I do love you honey but I love your food more. UMMMM…..” I giggled at their sweet fight. They have always been fighting over the same topic for the last I don’t know how many years. She always said she is blessed with such a sweet, loving and chef husband. She never forgets to mention he is a chef and how much she loves her food.

We were sitting at the dining table having our breakfast in my apartment when we heard a knock on my front door. Selena and Robert are here. They said they wanted to meet me and say hello to my parents. I doubt they are telling the truth but Selena’s warm nature tells me she is here with good intentions. Obviously they both are the only elders who accepted me and Chris with all their hearts, even after what happened recently.

I was just looking at Selena when it suddenly struck me that if Chris’s mother was alive would she have accepted me the way Selena did? I don’t know but I really wish she would accept me as her boy’s girlfriend.

All the elders are in the living room talking, whileI served drinks for them in the kitchen. It was then Chris spoke in my mind. I was a bit startled hearing him in my head. It feels good hearing his voice but hearing him out of the blue in my head is what I need to get used to.

‘Did uncle and aunt already arrive?’

‘Oh god, You scared me Chris. And yes they are here.’ I told him back while I cleaned the little mess I created because of him.

‘Don’t worry you will get habitual with time.’

‘Why did you call out in the first place, Chris?’ I asked him a bit pissed. I don’t know if its my overly hyped hormones playing their roles or I am actually annoyed with his behavior right now. I hope it is the former one.

‘Oh yes, I just reached out to inform you that they are there to bring your parents out with them so we can have our talk with J because I don’t want to delay this a bit more.’

‘Are you missing your little sister already? Hell, I am missing my best friend too.’ I scoffed.

‘Not only her but someone else too.’

‘Who?’ I think his whole family is here. Is he missing his parents? Shit, I am not ready for that heart to heart talk with him yet. I mean not right now not like this and specially not when my hormones are super hyperly active and working my mind a bit more.

‘My Heaven.’ I blushed.

‘Chris, you just left in the morning. And speaking of morning, thank you for that leg massage it really helped. My leg is a lot better now.’

‘Told you, never can get enough of you.’ I know he is smirking while leaning back in his chair right now. ‘And I hate it sneaking around. Although it is fun, your parents don’t know about us and it saddens both your lovers.’ I could feel my cheeks burning as he called his wolf my lover as well. It is the biggest turn on how his animal loves me and wants to be called mine.

‘I will take your leave, I think it is enough to get you turned on.’ I looked around to find the kitchen empty and elders at some distance in the living room.

I took the drinks in the living room where Selena is trying to convince my parents to come out with them. Mom and dad are clearly not interested.
