Chapter 15 Embrace

Saturday morning, i thought Light wouldn't visit me anymore so i just attended my project because i had a lot of pending. But when i heard another knock at my door again and seeing Light freshly standing in front my door with another basket of food he's carrying prove me wrong again and again.
I consciously held the hem of T-shirt because i am just wearing a cycling and an oversized T-shirt. I don't look presentable!
"Good morning." He greeted smiling.
I smiled unconsciously and opened the door widely so that he could go in.
"Good morning," i greeted back before closing the door.
"Projects?" he asked as he saw my messy floor and bed.
"Yeah." I smiled shyly and attempted to clear and clean it up but then he stopped me.
"Don't. Let me help you," he stated and placed the basket kind of far away and fold his polo up to his elbow.
"Uhm, okay." I shrugged and sat on the floor again.
"Hey, don't sit there. It's cold," he softly reprimanded.
I raised a brow and looked at him.
"It's unhealthy," he said and patted the space of my bed again.
He really like my bed huh?
I shrugged off my thoughts and did what he wants me to do so that we could start already.
"So, what can i do?"
I held him a pair of scissors, ruler, pencil and bond paper.
"Can you draw?" i asked.
"Piece of cake," he arrogant answered.
I sneered at him and just nodded.
"First, cut this for me." I held him a folder where the things that should be cut are inside.
"Then, draw this to me." I gave him the copy of the thing that i should be drawing and a cardboard.
"All right." He smiled before starting what he should be doing. So, i also started so that i can finish it today.
I had five projects to be passed within this month and after it is our final exam then our graduation.
Among the five projects i already finished one within this morning. And with Light who's helping, i know we can finish the remaining four today.
"What course did you took again?" Light broke the silence.
I fixed my hair and answered.
"Business Administration,"
"That's great." He nodded.
"Thanks,"
"Then, what are your plans after you graduate?" he continued.
I bit my inner check not knowing what to answer.
"Actually, i haven't plan that yet," i honestly answered.
"Maybe i can help you," he offered that made me quickly shook my head.
"Thank you for that but i want to do it on my own." I smilingly rejected.
"Alright, but if you need anything. I can help." He smiled back.
"Okay." I nodded.
"What are your plans after you give birth?"
I unconsciously cut the paper with a direction because of his question that made me slightly winced 'cause it hurts!
"Ouch!" i flinched while looking at my thumb. It have a deep cut!
"What happened?"
"Oh, fuck!" Light shockingly mumbled and carefully held my hand.
"Come on." He pulled me down from my bed to outside my room.
He fastly walk with big step that made me almost run.
Can't he see that we have a different leg size?!
I don't know why he knows that direction of the bathroom but he just did bring me there.
"Does it still hurting?" he worriedly asked and opened the faucet. Then bring my hand towards there to wash the wound .
"Kind of," i said and slightly winces when the water hit my flesh on the wound.
After a minute, i don't know where did he get it but after drying my hand he softly placed a band aid on it.
"Be careful next time," he softly stated that made me felt like melting again.
"Y-yes, thanks." I smiled.
"Let's go," he stated and held my hand again, he even interwined our fingers before pulling me outside of the bathroom.
On our track towards my room, i just keep on staring at our intertwined hands.
It was so perfect together, it's perfectly combined.
But why does my heart is getting heavy?
I don't know, so I just shrugged it off until we reached my room.
"Can you still do it?" he asked as we both seated on my bed again.
"Of course, it's just a simple cut," i answered.
"Alright, but..." He get the scissors and the things i'm cutting.
"Let me do this since i already finished cutting those," he pointed the folder and he did!
Not wanting to make it a big deal, i nodded to agree and just pulled the folder so that i could start pasting it.
"Love," he called at the middle of me pasting those things.
Thankfully he didn't let me do the cutting anymore because i'm sure that i'll cut myself again after calling me those.
"Y-yeah?" I stuttered and pushed myself to be unaffected.
"After you gave birth. I want you to rest, i'm not gonna let you work. Maybey after our child turns one year i'll let you work. Do you agree?"
I stopped pasting, absorbing what he just said.
Secretly, i bit my cheek and stared at my unfinished project.
"Love?" Light called again.
I clenched my fist still not answering him.
"I just want your safely as well as our baby. But the choice is still yours–"
"Yes," i cut him off.
I pushed myself to look at him.
"I'm gonna do what you said. I also...want...to spend quality-uh-time to our....uhm....b-baby..." i difficultly stated.
"That's good, thank you." He smiled satisfyingly. I smiled weakly and nodded.
"Okay," i said and looked back at my project again.
"And love," he called again.
"Hmm?"
"I have condo you or we can stay there," he said.
I closed my eyes.
"I'll think a-about it," i answered.
"All right. But if you want i'll buy a house for us–"
"No!!" I drastically cut him off.
"I mean n-no need," i softly stated again after realizing my behavior.
"I'm fine with the c-condo," i weakly stated.
"But i want my family to have a comfortable place," he insisted.
My heart burst ten times than earlier and there's no way to stop it.
"Can we take this slow?" i dully asked.
"A-and we're also comfortable with a condo," i reasoned out.
"All right," he answered.
I heard him silently cussed and took a deeper breath.
Ten minutes later i felt a hand who's slowly embracing my waist and a chin on my shoulder that made me like a statue.
What the hell is he doing?!
Shivers run off to my spin as he started to caress my tummy.
"I'm sorry did i shocked you out?" he whispered concernly.
"You're right, we should take this slow." I tightly bit my lower lip as i felt his breath tickles on my ear.
"I'm just excited to have a child and start my own family," he continued whispering.
A lump was on my throat but i don't have a right strength to swallow it. His words are too good to my ears but made my heart too heavy that any minute right now it can burst and explode.
This is all Light's fault!
I'm hating it but at the same time liking the feeling. The feeling of being inside his arms and hearing those kinds of words from him.
It gave me mixed emotion and gathered all my strength to pushed any bitterness and enjoyed being embraced by him. It just felt so good that i want to stop the time from running and hope that we'll just stay like this forever.
Him embracing me from behind.
