My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

I nodded. It wasn't like I could do anything else at that moment.

Seeing that, he carried me in his arms and headed to the room at the garden upstairs. He put me on the bed and rested his hand on my belly, "You should go to bed earlier tonight. Tomorrow I'll come with you to the checkup."

I nodded. If he didn't mention it, I had already forgotten about the checkup.

It was already getting late. Hendrix went for a shower while I laid down on the bed with my thoughts racing around. My insecurity was doing harm to our marriage. I couldn't trust him wholeheartedly. For heaven's sake, I couldn't even come to trust myself.

I didn't like myself like that.

"What are you thinking about?" Hendrix asked as he walked out of the bathroom. He was drying his hair with the towel while looking at me, who was in a daze.

I got up and circled my arms around his waist. His body was still wet from the shower.

He wasn't wearing any tops, so I leaned on his bare abs, not saying a word.

Seeing my anomalous, Hendrix threw the bath towel aside and held me in his arms. He let my head rest on his shoulders and said, "Don't bottle too many things up. It will only tire you out!"

I nodded and sorrowfully asked, "Hendrix, can you cut ties with Andrea from now on?"

I paused for a moment to let the words sink in before adding, "She has got parents that love her now. She can do without you. But I can't. I only have you."
